Chapter 18 South Lane Peach Blossom Wushan Xingyun
The group of people drove and rode through the tea kung fu, passing by the intersection of the famous Yongan Street, and there was a strong carnivorous aroma that made people swallow their saliva. Su Su smiled and said to Wang Lianqing: "Brother Xiaoqing, take you to eat something delicious." β
Wang Lianqing nodded, and Su Rui said helplessly: "Every time I pass by here, this girl will be greedy." A helpless expression.
Su Su ignored his second brother, stopped the carriage, and took Wang Lianqing's hand and got out of the car. Seeing a long street bustling, all kinds of food stalls on the side of the road, and the aroma came to the nose, I didn't expect that there would be such a place in the bustling Jindu.
The street is too messy, the carriages and horses are not happy, Su Rui instructed Zhao to wait for them here, the six of them walked inside, looking at the various delicacies on the street stalls, Su Su is heart is full of joy, looking left and right, as if it was the first time to come, Su Rui was very helpless this girl, and shook his head.
"Sister, do you want to go to the old place?" asked the little girl.
"Okay, anyway, the rice tofu and tofu buns are delicious. He said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go straight over, don't delay. Suri said.
The group walked into the door of a store in the middle of the city. Wang Lianqing looked at the plaque on the door of the store and wrote three: Dou family.
Su Su said happily: "It's here." β
Wang Lianqing and Su Rui followed her and entered the store, and a running hall junior shouted: "Six distinguished guests, please take a seat." β
led a few people to a guest seat and placed everyone to sit down. Lu Fu said hello to Su Su, and led Ah Xiu and Heshun to another table, there have always been rules in large families in ancient times, and servants are not allowed to eat at the same table with their masters, and the three of them know the rules.
Xiao Er reported the name of the dish, Su Rui said, noon should not be too greasy, let's order something light to relieve the heat, everyone nodded, Su Rui ordered: "Tofu buns and fresh bean juice for one person, and then give each table a plate of rice tofu, boiled dried shreds, assorted tofu waterlogging, champion beans, like this first." β
After listening to this, Xiao Er responded, "Okay, please wait a moment, guest officers." So he went to report the food, and after a short time, he brought two pots of herbal tea, and everyone drank tea and waited for the food to be served.
About a cup of tea, Xiao Er started from the dishes ordered from the back kitchen, looking at the dishes that were not fishy but exuded a light fragrance, which made everyone's appetite move. Xiao Er served good dishes and told them to use them slowly and then retreated.
Su Su couldn't wait to look at Su Rui and Wang Lianqing and said, "Let's go!"
Suri said, "Go!"
Su Su happily picked up the porcelain soup and scooped the tofu buns in the bowl in front of him and sucked them into his mouth, looking satisfied.
Wang Lianqing picked up the tofu buns in the bowl in front of him and looked at them, he just thought that the tofu buns ordered by Su Rui were tofu stuffed buns, but otherwise, it was a bun with a variety of fillings wrapped in tofu to look like buns, it looked very tender, it couldn't be clamped up with chopsticks at all, it would fall apart, and it could only be eaten with a spoon, Wang Lianqing scooped one and put it in his mouth, he didn't need to bite at all, it melted directly in his mouth, the umami of tofu and the filling fragrance blended in his mouth, the taste was on the heart, it was delicious, swallowing the essence, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth, it was beautiful, Wang Lianqing's eyebrows and comfortable stretching out, the first time to eat such a non-fishy and such a delicious thingγ
Looking at Wang Lianqing's comfortable appearance, Su Rui smiled slightly, and Su Su said hahaha: "Brother Xiaoqing, it's delicious, right?"
Seeing that both of them were looking at him with a smile, Wang Lianqing said embarrassedly: "I can't help it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I've never eaten such delicious food, and it's wonderful. β
"Well, it doesn't have to be like that, it's the first time we've tried something else, just like you. Su Rui said to Wang Lianqing with a smile.
Wang Lianqing nodded in response. The white tofu on the table is decorated with a few stars of green onions, which is quite eye-catching, Wang Lianqing scooped a spoon into his bowl with a soup spoon to taste, the beans are delicious, sweet and salty, very delicious.
Then taste the boiled dried shreds, the sauce sesame oil is paired with fresh soup, the tofu is tender and not old, the entrance is refreshing, and the aftertaste is endless. The rice tofu is cut into strips, sprinkled with fresh vinegar and sesame oil, and tasted carefully, the lips and teeth are moving, and it is extremely sour.
The cooked five-spice beans are red sandalwood in color, salty, sweet and soft, with a rich aroma and more than taste. The fresh bean juice has just been ground, sweet, fragrant and thick are blended, and a mouthful of fresh is full of stomach.
It's no wonder that it has the name of 'Dou Family', and with only ordinary tofu, you can eat delicious food and make it so raw. Chatting during the meal, Wang Lianqing listened to what Su Rui said, and learned that this old shop has a history of 100 years, since the opening of the Jin Dynasty, this shop has been passed down since then, and there are three generations to today, so it is quite a statement.
Everyone was satisfied with the delicious tofu feast, continued to drive and wander, from the South Street Su family has been walking through the city gate of the east and west, the four streets of the east and west north and south of the Jin capital are facing the palace in the straight city, the avenue leads directly to the palace gate, each direction has three large city gates, there is a moat outside the city to go around the city, like a river, the area of the Jin capital is huge, if they don't take the carriage, they can't finish the day at all.
In addition, also visited a lot of beautiful and strange Jindu wonders, beautiful scenery more famous courtyard, but also went to the Bailu Lake next to Linxi Street to row the lake and even into the lotus sparkling, but also watched the first major academy in Jinjing Nanshan Academy magnificent, also went to the most famous opera building in the North Street Quyuan Lou listened to the performance of the famous opera in Beijing, walked a lot of places, saw a lot of interesting things, in the late afternoon, was really tired and couldn't walk, so he went home.
Su Su, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned and rubbed his feet, and Su Rui looked at Wang Lianqing's eyes, not knowing what the hell he had in mind.
At this time, Su Rui said in a deep voice to Zhao Zhishou, who was driving the car: "Zhao Zhishou, when you get to Fu'an Street in front, you stop for a while, it is difficult to come out, and let Lu Fu Luxiu take Miss to the most common rouge shop to buy some gouache or something." β
Zhao Zhishou responded: "Yes".
When Su Su heard his brother say this, he said happily: "Brother, if you don't say it, I forgot it." β
"Well, buy more and give it to your mother when the time comes. β
"Good"
After a while, they arrived at Fu'an Street, and Zhao Zhi, who was setting up the car, arrived, and the carriage stopped. Su Su happily took Wang Lianqing's hand and wanted to get out of the car and leave, Su Rui hurriedly said: "Sister, Fu'an Street is all selling your girls' things, don't you let your second brother and third brother go, don't you make people laugh at the appearance of our two young masters?"
Su Su heard the second brother Su Rui say this, and it was right to think about it, and said that they should wait for them here, so they got out of the car. Su Rui saw Su Su get out of the car, laughed obscenely in the car, Wang Lianqing looked at him with strange eyes, and for a moment, Su Rui pretended to be very deep and said to the personal servant outside the car: "Heshun, you accompany the young lady to carry things, we won't go, wait for you here." β
"Yes, young master!" replied to him.
Hearing Su Rui say this, Wang Lianqing hurriedly lifted the curtain and said to Ah Xiu: "Ah Xiu, you accompany the young lady and the others, and remember to buy some rouge gouache for yourself." β
Hearing Wang Lianqing say this, Ah Xiu responded with a "yes" and walked to Fu'an Street with the three of them.
Only Wang Lianqing and Su Rui were left in the car, Su Rui gently leaned towards Wang Lianqing, and when he moved to his side, he beckoned, signaling Wang Lianqing to get closer, and brought Wang Lianqing closer, he came over and said in Wang Lianqing's ear: "Third brother, take you to a fun place for your brother, but you can't take servants and attendants, so as not to be too eye-catching." β
Wang Lianqing said: "Oh, where?"
"Don't talk for a while, just follow me" Su Rui whispered, and after speaking, he motioned for Wang Lianqing to follow him, and then got out of the car.
Said to Zhao Zhishou and the other two attendants: "Zhao Zhishou, the three of you are waiting here for the young lady to come back, the third brother and I will go around by ourselves and buy them some gifts, you can go back when the young lady comes back, and we will go back with the third brother later, she can tell the truth when she asks." β
Zhao Zhishou said: "Got it, young master, but the old man has instructions when he goes out, let's make sure to ensure the safety of Young Master Qing, and I will send him two to follow." β
Su Rui said: "No need, I am a dignified Jin capital, is there still someone who wants to murder us in broad daylight, there are many people is a troublesome thing, the two brothers are also tired after walking for a day today, let them go back together and have a good rest." β
Zhao Zhishou looked at the two of them and accepted them, and when he heard Su Rui say this, he did respond to him: "The two young masters should pay attention to themselves." β
Su Rui said: "Don't worry, I'm here, the third brother guarantees that there will be no hair missing, and you can wait for Miss here with peace of mind." β
After speaking, he led Wang Lianqing into another street, passed through two small alleys, appeared on the embankment where the Liujiang River passed southeast of the city, walked up about 20 steps along the embankment, walked across the stone bridge, walked into the opposite street, and appeared on the side of a large street after passing through the alley.
Wang Lianqing followed Su Rui and asked him in surprise: "Second brother, where are you going?"
"Take you to a nice place. Su Rui said with a smile.
Walking along the street, there are many small alleys that they crossed just now in the place where they intersected, Su Rui said that this is the well-known Twenty-four Alleys in Jindu, Wang Lianqing was puzzled, Su Rui told him not to think about it, and he naturally understood after a while.
About half a cup of tea, the two of them stopped in front of the courtyard gate of a 'Lichun Pavilion', Wang Lianqing raised his eyes and looked, the front of the building was decorated with simple and exquisite, and there was a deputy couplet:
"South Lane Peach Blossom Welcomes Spring Dew and Loves to Be Happy"
"Wushan Xingyun is coming again and the rain is ecstatic"
Although he has read poetry books, Wang Lianqing superficially understands the meaning of this couplet, but it seems to have a deep meaning, I don't know what to say, Su Rui signaled Wang Lianqing to follow him, and the two of them came to the door, and entered the hall.
I saw the warbler in the hall, wearing red and green, rouge incense powder, you can smell it everywhere, on the first floor of each guest seat, three or five groups of people are gathered in a group, and the sound of glamour is endless. There is a staircase to go upstairs on the left side of the lobby, and a singing platform dance pavilion is built on the platform in the middle of the second floor, and there are women who accompany the song and the piano are playing, and there are thinly dressed and gorgeous dancing girls dancing, which provokes the surrounding spectators to applaud again and again. On the railing on the second floor, there are several pairs of men and women hugging each other, and it is faintly visible that uneasy hands reach out to the unsightly, causing two to laugh and scold.
Wang Lianqing saw this scene, his face turned red instantly, he clearly felt the hot feeling on his face, he immediately understood why Su Rui mysteriously refused to tell him where to go, this Meng Lang's second brother said that the good place turned out to be this, no wonder he said that this is a good place that everyone in Jindu knows, it turned out to take him to visit the Qinglou! Although Wang Lianqing has never entered the Qinglou, he knows that there was a Qinglou on Linhe Street in Beiwang Town before, and the Linhe girl he and Liu Jiren said was the Qinglou woman on Linhe Street.
In the past, Mr. Shoku told them in a solemn voice that scholars were not allowed to enter the land of Fireworks Willow Lane, Wang Lianqing knew that he immediately wanted to turn around and go back, Su Rui quickly put his arms around his shoulders and said: "Third brother, it's all here, don't leave in a hurry, let's go have a cup of tea and rest and leave." β
"Second brother, don't be like this Meng Lang, if my father-in-law knows, you and I will be skinned raw when we go back. Wang Lianqing's shame did not disappear.
"If you don't say it, I won't say it, how does my father know, how can you be so twisted by a three-foot man, saying that we are just here to listen to music and eat tea, and never order (ji). Su Rui said with a look of hatred for rotten wood.
"Really?"
"Really!"
