Chapter 18 Going to the Restaurant
Xianlai City is the nearest small county town in Loujia Village, with a vast area and sparsely populated area, which is not a long-standing famous city. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info However, a few years ago, there was a waiter of the Ministry of Rites and a Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and then he became famous, and there was a faint taste of the hometown of scholars. You must know that these two are the real power of the four products, and the Lord Thorn of Benzhou has to perform the etiquette of the lower officials when he sees it, and there are two big people in a row in the small county town, which are extremely rare in the entire West Wind Country, and even the people living in the city have such a condescending and arrogant look.
After the world was peaceful, the military generals who opened up the territory and expanded the territory were not so important, and it was pure nonsense to rely on this gang of fighting Han to govern the world, so the status of the scholars rose accordingly, and they steadily pressed the military attachΓ©s.
The gate of Xianlai City is low and in disrepair, and there are four city guards in front of the dilapidated gate, with swords and spears, and a huge wooden box in front of each person.
As soon as Echan and the two teenagers were about to enter the city, they were stopped by a dazzling spear, and a scarred-eyed city guard tilted his head and said, "If you want to enter the city, you must pay the carriage and horse fares first." β
The old man stopped and frowned and asked, "We don't have a car or a horse, what kind of carriage and horse fares do we pay?" β
The scar-eyed soldier sitting on the chair didn't even look at him, shook his thighs and said, "Then the donkey is not called a horse, so you have to pay the carriage and horse fare?" I only have to pay money, not the old and the young, the men and women, the dead and the living, all have to pay, all two pennies each. β
The carriage and horse fee was forcibly set by the county decree of the county that had just taken office, and it had nothing to do with the imperial court decree, and this method of collecting money was also a more commonly used method in officialdom, and everyone knew it. If someone stabs this thing of scraping the ground, most of them will turn a blind eye, and no adult will be more serious than this fart. Ten years of cold windows, thousands of days of hard study, isn't it just to enjoy some mundane things in the world? If you cut off other people's financial routes, it is like killing other people's parents, and it is not bad if you don't pick up your ancestral grave.
Ezen also heard that the soldier's mouth was not clean, and he was too lazy to worry about this shitty matter, so he took out six copper plates, threw them into the wooden box containing the copper coins, and said fiercely: "Damn, you should feed the dogs." β
As if he hadn't heard his curses, the scar-eyed soldier happily fished out a penny from the wooden box, blew the dust on it, and rubbed it against his robe and into his cuffs.
The spear followed suit.
The three entered the city.
It was the first time for the two teenagers to see such a bustling place, and it was very fresh, and they kept looking at the shops along the street, and a stall full of children attracted their attention.
Passing through the crowd, I saw colorful noodle people filling the stall, and a middle-aged uncle skillfully kneaded the dough in his hand into various shapes, and after a while, it became a vivid fairy in colorful clothes.
Erdan didn't marvel at the middle-aged uncle's wonderful technique, but asked with a smile: "Brother Dachun, do you say these things are delicious?"
Da Chun thought for a moment and said seriously: "If you fry it and sprinkle it with some salt, it is estimated that it will be better than pancakes." β
Erdan shook his head: "I think it's still delicious to bake, and it's tender on the outside and tender on the inside." β
Before they could discuss how to eat those noodle people, the two teenagers were taken out by the old man one by one: "Do the right thing first, and I'll take you to eat well later." β
After walking a short distance, I came to the door of a larger shop, this shop is the place where Ezen sells furs every time, the shopkeeper is honest and honest, and the price is relatively fair, and Ezen sells wild animal skins every time he hunts in the mountains.
Old man E patted Dachun on the shoulder: "I'll go and sell the goods first, you take Erdan to the restaurant to eat first, you can order whatever you want, and Lao Tzu will pay you later." β
With that, he pointed to a small restaurant behind them.
As soon as the two teenagers heard the word "eat", they immediately smiled, went into the restaurant, found a relatively clean table and sat down.
The thoughtful shopkeeper heard what the old man said at the door, and he didn't slow them off, and asked earnestly, "What do the two little guest officers want to eat?"
Erdan and Da Chun glanced at each other, and when they went down to the restaurant, they were all big girls who went to the sedan chair, and they couldn't help but look at each other. However, Erdan, this kid is very thief, and looked at the guests on the right, only to see a few plates of steaming dishes on their table, red and green, with meat and vegetables, and they looked very good.
Erdan pointed to the table and shouted, "Same as the one on their table, come with three portions." β
After speaking, he also stretched out three fingers, for fear that the guy would not hear clearly.
There were four dishes on the table, three were twelve, and although the amount of dishes he ordered was a bit terrifying, even if the restaurant owner was too pot-bellied, the guy in the restaurant was busy and agreed.
Since there were not many diners, it didn't take long for the fragrant dishes to be served one after another.
The two children eat mostly steamed bread on weekdays, hunting pheasants and hares and the like that is to roast them indiscriminately, and the old man has a lot of knowledge in his belly, talking about all kinds of delicacies to paint the sound and color, and the two small gluttonous ones flow out a few mouthfuls of water, but if you let him have some real food, then the old man will talk about what gentleman is far away from cooking, and he has not steamed two steamed buns with an old man.
Before the man put the plate on the table, two pairs of chopsticks were already clipped.
The shopkeeper has been working in this store for a lot of years, and he has seen a lot of the world at his own expense, but this is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing.
it, the plate hasn't been put on the table yet, and this dish is gone?!
The shopkeeper secretly screamed 'foodie' in his stomach, turned around stupidly, and removed the plate.
Other dishes were also served one after another, and the two of them shook off their cheeks to taste this first feast in their lives, and soon a few dishes were swept away, and the earth-shattering feat quickly attracted the attention of the people around.
An old man full of books on the table next to him was full of wine and food, so he chatted with them: "Two little brothers, looking at your faces, I'm afraid you are not from Xianlai City." β
Erdan, who was stuffing vegetables into his mouth, looked at him, and said indistinctly: "We are from Loujia Village." β
The old man thought for a while and sighed: "Loujia Village, I've heard of it, it's not very far from this Xianlai City, I heard that the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it's a land of immortals!"
The two young men didn't answer, they only cared about fighting with the food on the plate, and the old man smiled at the goatee when he saw how they were eating, and asked, "Lou was also a big surname in the past, and there were many literati and heroes. Do you two also have the surname Lou? β
Erdan was stunned for a moment, then nodded casually.
The old man was drunk, and he couldn't help but talk more: "Look at the two little brothers carrying bows, arrows and knives on their backs, are they people who practice martial arts?"
Du Jiujiang didn't know how many times he said in his ears, and Dachun firmly remembered the truth that people only said three points, for fear that the second egg, a guy who had no score, would say the wrong thing, so he rushed to answer: "The master taught us some exercises to strengthen our bodies, at most, we went to the mountains to hunt some wild boars, dogs and bears or something, and I don't know any advanced martial arts." β
Hearing that these two were not the legendary young heroes of the rivers and lakes, the old man was a little disappointed, and said with emotion: "Anyway, it can be regarded as a talented person, I heard that the heroes have a loud name when they walk the rivers and lakes, I don't know what nicknames the two young heroes have?"
"My name is Erdan, my brother's name is Dachun. β
Because Erdan still bites the chicken leg in his mouth, the words are inevitably not clear, and the word 'Chun' sounds like a tun word.
The old man was older, and his head was a little confused due to the strength of the wine, and he hadn't reacted yet. But a man dressed as a Confucian across from him thought for a moment, and with a 'poof' sound, he splashed the old man's face with wine.
The old man's face twitched after a dazed moment.
He lifted his cuffs and wiped them on the wine-stained area, "Leaky two eggs" and "Leaky big buttocks"? What a strange name this is for the elders......
Erdan and Da Chun continued to be in the wind and clouds.
Not long after, the 'wonderful elder' swaggered in, sat down, and said to them: "The price of the goods this time is good, let go of your stomachs and eat hard." β
Seeing that there were a lot of four dishes left on the table, the old man E's heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "You two rabbit cubs still know how to respect the master, and you still keep so many dishes for Lao Tzu, so you two have a heart." β
Da Chun stopped the chopsticks in his hand, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Master, I have already eaten more than a dozen plates." β
Master E's face turned black, he bit his molars and didn't say anything, just his belly, how embarrassed to bury the apprentice, so he sprinkled the fire he was holding elsewhere, and shouted at Xiao Er: "This kind of dish, four more servings!"
The audience was in an uproar!
After the three masters and apprentices feasted, under the gaze of everyone, they patted their bellies and walked out satisfied.
Erdan also brought two smoked chickens, ready to go home to satisfy his little daughter-in-law's hunger.
Many diners in the restaurant were still looking carefully at Erdan and Da Chun, as if they were looking for something......
