Chapter 110: A Chance Encounter with a High Priest
Zhang Yu galloped his horse, and the passing trees quickly retreated, and soon left P County and came to the suburbs.
Zhang Yu did not stop, continued to gallop forward, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, hurry up a little more, and then he could rush to the next county seat to rest for a night before dark.
Zhang Yu rushed for a long time, there was still some distance from the next county seat, and a small shop appeared on the side of the road, and the people came and went very lively, and it seemed that most of them were pedestrians and merchants passing by.
Zhang Yu felt a little tired from the journey, and threw the reins of the horse to Xiao Er, "Feed the horse to me to fatten, I will continue to go on the road after eating." By the way, prepare me two or three side dishes and two bowls of rice. ”
While speaking, Zhang Yu walked into the small shop, and the shopkeeper hurriedly took the reins and nodded yes, and shouted, "Please come into the store and wait a while!"
Zhang Yu nodded, walked straight to an empty table and sat down, there were already long benches here, not the low ones, obviously there was still a little difference between the Qin Dynasty inn and ordinary people's gatherings and dining.
A middle-aged man with a somewhat old face came to Zhang Yu's table and bowed to him, "This son, what dish do you order?"
Zhang Yu glanced up at the middle-aged man, a little strange, shouldn't the shopkeeper be in charge of ordering the guests? This person looks well-dressed and should be the owner of the shop, right?
"I just told Xiao Er, I want three or four dishes, two bowls of rice. Zhang Yu repeated what he had just said to him again, and pointed to the shopkeeper outside, "Isn't it good to tell the shopkeeper, why do you have to come here in person, boss?"
Hearing Zhang Yu's words, the shopkeeper had a smile on his face, "Oh, the guest should be visiting the shop for the first time, right?" ”
Zhang Yu nodded understandingly, "I see, that's troublesome to the boss." ”
The shopkeeper half-bent over, "The guest appears so politely, by the way, there is a new chef in our restaurant, he knows how to stir-fry, the guest has never heard of this, right?"
Speaking of this, the owner of the shop straightened his back and had a proud look on his face, as if it were a great dish.
Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, stir-frying? I haven't eaten stir-fried vegetables for so long since I came to the Qin Dynasty, here are all stewed in a pot, everything is steamed, boiled and boiled, but there is no stir-frying, here I suddenly heard stir-fried vegetables, which is very common in modern times, and suddenly felt a little kind.
"There's stir-fried vegetables, then the boss wants a tomato scrambled egg, a fried cabbage, and a fried lean pork, and two bowls of rice, I haven't eaten these home-cooked dishes for a long time......"
The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard Zhang Yu report a few stir-fried dishes in one breath, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, "Have the guests ever eaten stir-fried dishes?"
Zhang Yu smiled slightly, "I've eaten, but I haven't eaten it for a long time, go quickly, I'm already a little hungry." ”
The shopkeeper bowed again, "I'm sorry, I'm going to place an order, please wait a while, it will be fine soon." ”
Although the shopkeeper was full of questions, Zhang Yu obviously didn't want to say anything, and he didn't want to force it, so the business was still important, so he placed the order first.
Therefore, the shopkeeper turned around and walked briskly to the small kitchen, told the cook the dish Zhang Yu wanted, and then asked, "Are you sure your dish is really unique?
The cook was stunned when he heard this, "How is it possible?"
The half-ringing cook came back to his senses and thought of a possibility, could it be ......
The cook left the shopkeeper and hurriedly ran out, and came to the lobby of the small shop, there were not many people at the moment, they were all eating quietly, only an empty table sat alone with a young man, obviously only he had not eaten, and it was naturally him who ordered food.
The cook came to Zhang Yu and looked Zhang Yu up and down, feeling a little disappointed, it seemed that it was not Xiaochuan, but he didn't know where he was.
Zhang Yu looked up at the cook curiously, about thirty years old, his face was a little black, he should have been smoked by the kitchen, he seemed to have a trace of fatigue mentally, wearing gray cloth clothes, and an apron on his chest that did not match this era, looking very much like an important character who appeared in the original mythological works.
Zhang Yu thought about it slightly, and soon thought of the name of this cook-Gao Yao! And he was the only eunuch chief Zhao Gao who was favored by Qin Shihuang's side later, and his personality became very yin and ruthless, but it was also because he was forced by Liu Bang, otherwise he would not be like that.
"Yes, are you a high-ranking person?" Zhang Yu raised the corners of his mouth and showed a hint of a smile, looking directly at the cook.
Gao Yao was slightly stunned, and looked up and down suspiciously, "You know me? Who are you?"
Gao Yao's words are straightforward, if it is replaced by any ancient person with status, it is estimated that he will be furious, but Zhang Yu, as a modern person, feels cordial, and his face is full of smiles, "My name is Zhang Yu, do you know Yi Xiaochuan? ”
Gao Yao was a little surprised when he heard this, "What did you say? Xiaochuan? Where is he? I have something to look for him, you can take me quickly." ”
Gao Yao couldn't stop talking like a machine gun, the corners of Zhang Yu's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hand to stop Gao Yao from continuing, "Stop!! I'm almost hungry. ”
Gao Yao patted the back of his head, with a smirk on his face, "Haha, you see I'm overjoyed, wait a minute, I'll fry a few dishes for you." Right away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yao walked to the kitchen like a gust of wind to fry vegetables, and the shopkeeper sweated, for fear that Gao Yao would anger Zhang Yu, a guest, after all, the Qin Dynasty was very strict about etiquette and inferiority, if Zhang Yu was the son of those wealthy nobles, then Gao Yao would be dead.
Seeing that Gao Yao and the customer seemed to know each other, the owner of the store relieved himself and went to the other tables to see if he needed his own help.
Zhang Yu didn't wait long, Gao Yao began to bring out two dishes and a bowl of rice, and said with a smile on his face, "You eat some first, and I'll fry two more dishes, soon." ”
Zhang Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yu started to eat with chopsticks, he didn't feel it just now, but now he felt very hungry when he saw that there were vegetables and food, and he quickly ate it.
Soon, Gao Yao finished the remaining two dishes, brought them to Zhang Yu on the table, sat on another bench, and looked at Zhang Yu with a smile on his face, "Eat slowly, don't choke, there is a lot of food here, don't rush." ”
Seeing that Zhang Yu was eating with relish, Gao Yao continued with a smile, "When I first arrived in the Qin Dynasty, I was also hungry and dizzy, and I almost starved to death on the road, but fortunately, the shopkeeper took me in and made me a cook, otherwise I probably wouldn't be alive now." ”
Gao Yao looked ahead with emotion, "I didn't feel comfortable coming here that day, I always felt that I was dreaming, but unfortunately the facts were in front of me, and I could only accept the reality." I guess Xiao Chuan should have come here like me, I don't know what happened to him now, you tell me about it. ”
Zhang Yu continued to gobble up, shook his head, and squeezed out a few words, "Let's talk about it after eating!"
