Chapter 31: Delicacies

"Two guest officers, your dishes are ready, please use them slowly......" The shopkeeper finally brought up a round food box and put it on the side of the table.

Shi Xin looked at all the dishes on the table one by one, and found that none of them were fish, so he said lightly and asked, "Little second brother, we should order a fish, right?"

The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "The guest officer is talking about the 'wood and branches' ordered by this young lady, right?"

Shi Xin nodded: "Exactly." ”

The shopkeeper pointed to the food box and said with a smile: "The guest officer doesn't know, after this 'wood has branches' is done, it will be placed in this bamboo food box for a while." After the bamboo fragrance is in the inside, take it out and eat it, which will make it more fragrant. ”

Shi Xin was stunned, but he didn't know that he was so exquisite, but after all, this silver was not from him, so he only secretly glanced at Xiangyang Zixian.

I saw Yang Zixian wave his hand: "No need, you can help us take it out directly." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, take out the small one." So saying, he put the food box in the middle of the table and opened it.

As soon as the food box was opened, a hot air gushed out, and the aroma was overflowing, filling the entire inn. After he opened the food box, he said to Yang Zixian and Shi Xin, "Eat slowly, you two", and then retreated.

At this time, it was close to noon, and the inn was already sitting with a few top-notch guests. Looking at that appearance, they were all attracted by the aroma of this dish early, and even Shi Xin, who was sitting, couldn't help but glance at the food box twice.

But in the food box, there are dozens of flowering bamboo leaves stacked under a sunflower porcelain plate, and the water vapor condenses beads, dripping on the bamboo leaves like morning dew. On the top of the Kuikou porcelain plate is the fired "wood branches", the fish meat poured by the soup is slightly red and bright, and the ginger, garlic and onion segments are decorated with red peppers.

He thought to himself, "I can't imagine that in this remote town, there are people who can make such a delicious meal for people to taste." ”

At this time, Yang Zixian gently picked up the chopsticks in front of him and grabbed a small piece of fish meat, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully. I only feel that the meat is fresh and tender, and there is a little sweetness at the beginning of the entrance, and after a few gentle chews, there is a faint fragrance flowing between the teeth, which is indeed delicious.

Her family is well-off, and although she is young, she has tasted countless delicacies from the mountains and seas. The dishes that can make her say "delicious" can be seen that they are really delicious, and they can't help but eat a few more pieces at the moment.

Shi Xin, who was sitting on the side, was the first time he had seen Yang Zixian like this. Eating on weekdays, this girl stopped chopsticks after just a few bites, but she didn't expect to eat it today.

He was so distracted that he forgot to eat, and only sat on the stool and stared blankly at Yang Zixian.

After only a moment like this, Yang Zixian suddenly felt something, and secretly glanced at the stone heart from the corner of his eye, only to find that the kid in front of him had been staring at him. Xin said: "Isn't my eating appearance too ugly?" she thought like this, and a faint flush appeared on her face somehow, and she said to Shi Xin: "What do you see me doing? Aren't you hungry?"

Shi Xin was lightly scolded by her, and then he came back to his senses.

I also felt that something was very wrong in my heart, and hurriedly took my eyes back. Picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and said weakly: "I...... I just want to ask you if this fish is delicious?" he finished speaking, stuffed the fish into his mouth, and ate it to himself, not daring to look at Yang Zixian again.

Yang Zixian didn't say anything more, just lowered his head and ate slowly. However, between reaching out and clamping the chopsticks, the movement slowed down a lot.

After a while, except for the wine on the table, the other dishes were already almost eaten by the two of them.

Of course, most of this is due to Shi Xin. First, he has been miserable since he was a child and does not want to waste it, and secondly, the dishes on the table are indeed acceptable, especially the "wood branches" is fragrant and delicious, very delicious, so it was completely eliminated by the two of them.

After eating, the shopkeeper took them to the second floor.

The second floor of the inn is not big, there are only a few rooms, but it seems very elegant and quiet. Shi Xin and Yang Zixian's rooms were adjacent to each other, and they both went back to their respective rooms to rest at the moment.

Shi Xin put the burden on the table, and then went to the bed, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

He closed his eyes, then stretched out his right arm to take a look. I saw that the black gas was still floating but not dissipating, and there was a faint itching sensation. But the tiredness caused by being full of wine and food can no longer be stopped at the moment, and I don't bother to care about it so much at the moment, so I just fell asleep in a daze.

He slept soundly until the evening, when he was awakened by the noise of the streets.

He raised his hand and hammered the shoulders on both sides, and shook his head and moved his neck, which showed that he really slept very comfortably.

Outside the window, night has quietly fallen. He looked at the sky, then got up and opened the door, and walked over to the room of the Yang Zixian.

I saw him hesitate at the door of Yang Zixian for a while, and finally raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock......" There doesn't seem to be any movement in the room.

He knocked on the door again and said softly, "Yang...... Miss Yang, it's me, Shixin, are you there?", and there was still no response in the room.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw the shopkeeper walking up with a pot of hot water, so he stopped and asked, "Little second brother, let me ask the girl who lives in this room?"

The shopkeeper saw that it was Shi Xin, and obviously knew each other, so he smiled and said, "The guest officer is talking about the beautiful lady who walked with you, right?"

Shi Xin nodded and said, "Well, it's her." ”

In the evening, the little one saw her go out alone. Our town is going to try out the lights tonight, maybe it's to go to the street to see the river lanterns. After saying that, he walked over with hot water.

Shi Xin was stunned for a moment, and whispered, "Look at the lights?"

The night in Tsing Yi Town is more lively than the day. On the streets, people come and go, there are vendors setting up stalls, and there are also pedestrians shopping. Candlelit red lanterns hang on the eaves of each house, illuminating the entire street.

Shi Xin walked alone in the crowd. After he learned from the mouth of the shopkeeper that Yang Zixian might have gone to the street to see the river lanterns, somehow, he felt empty when he returned to the room alone.

In the past few days, he has gotten along with Yang Zixian, although he has suffered the woman's losses many times, but it is always her who cares about him at critical moments. Whether there is any bond between himself and her, he himself can't say, but he feels as if he has known each other a long time ago, and only feels as if it is fate......

Thinking so hard to no avail, Xindao was bored to stay in the room alone anyway, so he simply left the inn and went up to the street.

The surrounding townspeople were talking and laughing, holding various river lanterns in the shape of a square or a lotus in their hands, but they should have walked towards the river.

He paused in place and was silent for a moment, and finally followed the crowd towards the river.
