Volume 4 The Sound of the Ancient Temple Chapter 89 Suifeng Sword, Ling Yunzhi
I seem to have had a long dream, the father who was holding his hand gradually moved away from him, and the grandfather standing behind him was getting a little old.
The old man on the sickbed had his mouth open, and his dry and bony hands pinched the little girl with tears and pear blossoms, "cough cough ......"
"Father!"
"Baby, please...... Ahem"
The woman next to the "father......." frowned and half-knelt in front of the bed.
"Li, the Li family is sorry for you...... He owes you a ...... that owes you"
The memories that seemed to be dreams pulled at him, and an arrow pierced his heart, as if through the deepest part of his heart, Lin Ying's brain was hot, and he opened his eyes all of a sudden.
Dusk accompanied the golden light through the window and poured into the room.
The eyebrows tightened slightly, Lin Ying's chest was stuffy, and he was displeased, and the little movement on the other side of the corridor was in his ears, and there were footsteps.
And muffled snoring, sweat tartar?
The little girl glanced to the side, and the half-kneeling sweaty head fell together, her eyes locked tightly, and she slept very enjoyably.
It's rare to be able to fall asleep while kneeling.......
Lin Ying didn't seem to know the reason why Khan Tartar was kneeling, and just stared at Khan Tartar with a hint of amusement.
"Sleep on your own. ”
She walked out of the guest room alone with light steps, and there was indeed a middle-aged man waiting in the corridor.
The man was only mediocre-looking, with a mustache, a decent dress, and a silver chain around his neck.
"You ......"
Lin Ying was stunned for a moment, but it could be seen that this person was deliberately waiting here, and this dress was probably the shopkeeper.
"It is the shopkeeper of this Fengyulou restaurant below, and you have been waiting for a long time, Lei is very sorry......"
The shopkeeper is also honest, after all, it is almost dusk, so naturally it is a lot of time.
"Hmph, your shop is so lively, but you don't even give it to my son at all?"
"Childe, this ......"
Seeing Lin Ying taking the lead in attacking, the shopkeeper Lei was speechless for a while.
The girl was overjoyed in her heart, and it seemed that this person did not see herself.
The blue-patterned eight-wheel white scabbard in her hand was like a plaything, leaning lightly on the shoulder of the Lei shopkeeper, and the word "ruthless" was revealed in her eyes.
"Delay me, do you still want to do this business?"
The shopkeeper Lei felt bitter in his heart! He couldn't wait to shrink his neck into his clothes, "Childe, childe, Lei is wrong, take the sword!"
"Hugh has to say more!" Lin Ying was even more ruthless this time, and directly leaned the scabbard against the shopkeeper's neck.
"Childe, Childe!"
The trembling legs could no longer be steady, and the shopkeeper Lei knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Let me go, son, I will agree to whatever you want." ”
"You dare to tease this son, why don't I make a fortune a day, but you can afford to pay it?"
"Compensation, compensation, how much does Childe want, Lei will pay. ”
"I want you to spit out what you swallowed in your stomach!"
"Childe ......" Shopkeeper Lei's face changed greatly.
Lin Ying was even more aggressive, "I ask you to answer, if there is a lie, I will make you blood splash on the spot." ”
The shopkeeper shook his hand, his lips turned white, and he was frightened, "Don't dare, Gong, as long as the son doesn't kill me, anything can ......"
"Have you ever heard the name Han Mu'er?" Lin Ying's coercion was effective,
The shopkeeper begged for mercy: "This is the name of a Saibei person, I'm here, this is really ......"
"What about Han Mian?" Lin Ying specially bit his voice on the word Han Mian.
As soon as Han Mian came out, the woman's subtle insight saw that his eyes were slightly evasive.
"You really know!"
After thinking about it, Shopkeeper Lei hesitated for a long time.
"Know ......."
"Get up and speak. Lin Ying took back the scabbard in his hand.
"I think the name Han Mian is more conspicuous than the pseudonyms of other Saibei people, so I paid more attention to it, this person doesn't have anything to do with me, it's just ......" Shopkeeper Lei paused, "It's just that the group of people in the Anyang military camp have a soft spot for me in the wind and rain, and they have been here for many wine gatherings." ”
"Barracks?" Lin Ying pondered for a moment, then asked. "Does he come often?"
"Not really. It's just that it's often mentioned in other people's mouths. Shopkeeper Lei didn't dare to lie and answered truthfully.
"You said they are all Tang Jun?" a flash of inspiration flashed in Lin Ying's mind.
"Uh, it's right to look at the costumes, and most of them are ...... from the Saibei military"
Yang Shu, Han Mian, so it is...... What about Han Mu'er?
Are Han Mu'er and Han Mian the same person?
"When was the last time they came?"
"Yesterday. ”
"Do you remember what they said?"
With deep eyes staring at the drinkers downstairs who were gradually moving away, Lin Ying had more or less doubts in his heart.
"This ...... I'm not too young at this age, but I just heard them keep emphasizing that they will go to Shaolin in three days. ”
Three days later, go to Shaolin?
Repeating this sentence in her mouth, but her body was not idle, she grabbed the shoulder of the shopkeeper Lei, "Is there any way to sneak into the young room?"
The shopkeeper replied, "This, in addition to the front mountain is the back mountain, our restaurant sometimes sends food to the Shaolin Temple." ”
The young man in Tsing Yi who was puzzled in front of him suddenly chuckled, as if he had found what he wanted.
"In that case, shopkeeper, how about I make a deal with you?"
"Deal?"
Lin Ying smiled slightly, lowered her voice, and whispered something that came to mind.
Even the shopkeeper's chin dragged down, obviously unbelievable.
Dusk fell to the west of the city, and Anyang was printed with red lotus, flashing a burst of red sunset.
A foot of crimson dyed and covered the entire town, and the old city of Anyang looked full of ancient charm at the moment.
According to the shopkeeper's instructions, Wang Xiaoer cleaned up all the sundries and broken wine jugs and other wastes on the first floor after the drinkers dispersed, which was his last errand of the day.
"Wang Xiaoer packed a table and came out, I want to entertain VIPs. ”
Shopkeeper Lei walked down from the second floor with Lin Ying and Khan Tatan.
Lifting the gradually aggravating body, Wang Xiaoer wiped the rag in his hand mechanically.
Lin Ying patted him on the shoulder, and chuckled rudely: "This little brother also entertained me before, right?"
"Uh...... It's a small errand. Wang Xiaoer suddenly felt unnatural.
"Hmm. Lin Ying nodded and sat down with the sweat tartar.
Shopkeeper Lei also went to the back kitchen to get busy, Lin Ying gave a lot of remuneration, this transaction can be done, since this is the case, he has to be a little sincere, right?
The wind and rain come to the restaurant, and it is a must in Anyang.
Jade plate delicacies, gold bottle wine, enjoy it together.
"Wang Xiaoer, serve. The chef in the back kitchen urged, and the food on the plate was presented one by one.
Each of them is a sign in the store, and they have different fragrances, and they are poured into Wang Xiaoer's nose together.
It's not easy to put these dishes together at one table, even if you're a cook, it's also high. A good cook has his own weird temper.
The cooks in the back kitchen have their own housekeeping skills, and it is not easy for them to cook at the same time.
The incense soaked the entire wind and rain to the restaurant, and the shopkeeper Lei closed the door and closed early.
There are only two distinguished guests in the whole house - Lin Ying and Khan Tartar.
Wang Xiaoer peeked at the same dish, he was learning, and he was able to seize every opportunity, as it has always been, if he could combine such skills, what kind of scenery would it be, but this plate ......
"Shopkeeper Lei, I'm tired of you, and I have prepared so much. Even Lin Ying saw the eighteen dishes on the whole table, and he felt a little relieved.
"Don't be polite, since you found me, I should be wholehearted. Shopkeeper Lei grasped the usual boldness of the northerners, and raised his wine glass as he spoke, "Come, two, have a drink?"
Lin Ying tugged at the corner of Sweat Tartar's clothes, and stood up with Sweat Tartar in his cup, "That's the case." ”
The wine in the north is much stronger, and the burning sensation envelops the mellow wine in the mouth and hangs in the throat, just waiting for the aroma to spread into the stomach.
Khan Tartar and Lin Ying both showed pride and drank it all in one gulp.
"Try it, two, it's all our food from the storm. ”
As soon as the words of the shopkeeper Lei fell, Khan Tartar had already lost his temperament, and he had been on an empty stomach for a long time.
Regardless of the eyes of the people around him, he picked up the meaty dish and chewed it, and his mouth was covered with oil for a while.
"Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, Li also has some cooking skills, but he can't get up with your cooks, but it's a big deal. Lin Ying smiled awkwardly.
You must know that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, and this color alone is enough to make the little girl feel ashamed.
She picked up the red meat that had been poured with hot oil, and the meat was stained with spicy seeds, and the red oil rolled down, needless to say, the meat quality was needless to say, and the very aggressive hot breath came to her face.
When the red meat is entered, the hot oil with the aroma of the meat repeatedly rolls in the mouth, and the red meat is as soft as dough, and it is divided into two in one bite.
"Is this red meat lamb? It's addictive. Lin Ying opened her mouth, and even found that the red meat was in her stomach, but the aroma of the meat lingered.
The shopkeeper Lei called the insider, "Li Gongzi is really an insider, this mutton is the best lamb meat, and to keep it tender taste, I specially dug the cellar." ”
"I see. ”
The two of them are like chess players, one step at a time, and every move is worth savoring.
"Childe try this again, this is a sign!" Shopkeeper Lei pointed to the plate of light green and red-hot rolls in front of Lin Ying with some pride.
In fact, Lin Ying has long noticed that although it is not the heaviest and strongest smell, it is the best color.
What are the top ingredients?
She picked up the chopsticks, rolled up her sleeves, and grabbed the vegetable rolls that were green on the outside and red on the inside.
"Li Gongzi, it's better to use a spoon for this dish!"
After speaking, the shopkeeper handed over the spoon, Lin Ying became more and more curious, did the green vegetables on the outside completely wrap the meat aroma inside?
The girl wanted to find out what was going on with the drums beating in her heart, and she lifted a green roll with a spoonful.
Take a closer look, the emerald green cabbage outside. It is crystal clear, and it can be seen through the pieces of meat inside.
The inside of the courgette?
And what is this meat that can be so soft?
couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth, and the tip of his tongue was covered with the fragrance of courgette juice, which hit Lin Ying's brain.
The lips and teeth are together, and they go down in one bite, pressing the coat of the courgette, and the roast meat inside will crumble when touched.
It felt as if you didn't need to bite into anything, and after chewing it repeatedly, the taste slowly spread.
The roast meat was scattered and danced in his mouth, splashing oil droplets everywhere, and the fragrance spread all over his body, making Lin Ying's whole body tremble, and his body couldn't help but beat.
After it spreads a layer of fragrance between the lips and teeth, it allows the roast meat to play on its own, and when the meat is to the extreme, it makes people have an endless aftertaste.
The lips and teeth are fragrant, and there is no feeling in the abdomen, so it should be regarded as a mouth, and you can't stop it.
The taste is in the heart, but the flavor is in the world, but it is a rare one, like a dream.
"The indescribable taste, I feel that no matter how you describe it, it will only bind this dish!" Lin Ying's eyes were full of emotions, the corners of his mouth were covered with residual oil, and the chopsticks held in his jade hand hung in the air for a long time.
Hugua, since Zhang Du's escort to the Western Regions hundreds of years ago, has been frequently introduced to the Central Plains, and finally left a place on the table. It is known for its sweet and refreshing aroma.
But this roast pork is the reason why Lin Ying refuses to put down the chopsticks, isn't it a rare ingredient?
That's it, Lin Ying was just about to put down the chopsticks, but was stopped by Wang Xiaoer, who was resting at another table on the side, and he stumbled and said: "Gong, Gongzi, after eating this dish, please, please try my bowl of soup!"
Shopkeeper Lei and the others all showed displeasure on their faces, how could Wang Xiaoer come to this table with any identity, "Xiaoer, it's not easy for you to enter the restaurant, I know you want to learn something, but now what is the occasion, you won't know, right?"
The atmosphere froze all of a sudden, and in addition to the chewing sound of the sweat tartars, Lin Ying also heard the nervous breathing of the little two in front of him.
He had a bowl of hot soup in his hand, which looked like it had just been served.
Lin Ying smiled and waved his hand at the shopkeeper Lei, "Alas, Li has always refused to come, since the little brother intends to let Li taste it, it doesn't matter, ask me more, how old is the little brother?"
The immaturity on Wang Xiaoer's face reminded him of a person, so he couldn't help but ask more.
"This ...... Xiao Er, don't answer Childe yet!" "Seeing that Lin Ying was not annoyed, Shopkeeper Lei pushed the boat down the river and asked.
"The little one is fourteen years old, Childe!" Wang Xiaoer lowered his head a few more points and handed the soup bowl a few more points.
"Fourteen, fourteen, ah......" Lin Ying took his soup bowl and muttered in his mouth.
The steaming soup seems to have thickened on the surface, and the soup noodles appear flat and slightly viscous, just like a bowl of thick white rice porridge.
Lin Ying's red lips opened slightly, and he exhaled lightly, and the soup noodles immediately rippled away.
Take a sip to suck off the thickening on the surface, and the flavor of the soup bursts out instantly, and the aroma is overflowing, enveloping the entire house for a while.
The nose is full of the aroma of plums, is that true?
She took a big sip, and then glanced at Wang Xiaoer, the young man in front of her made her look at it differently, although the taste was not to the extreme, but the Tao did not lose its reason.
"Can you tell me why you made this bowl of soup?"
Wang Xiaoer was apprehensive, the two dishes that the son had eaten before, one spicy and the other sweet. The sour taste of this plum soup is greasy and appetizing, and I think it's the best choice. ”
"Interesting....... the corners of Lin Ying's mouth rose slightly, not annoyed or tired, "I've tasted this sweet and sour, why don't you have a bitter taste again?"
There are flavors on the table, but they are always inseparable from the ups and downs.
"No need..... Wang Xiaoer's face added a wry smile, "Bitterness is in my heart, I am at ease on the road ahead, life is lonely, I am lonely, I am lonely......."
He shook his head helplessly, and there seemed to be a thousand bitter tastes in his chest that no one poured out.
Lin Ying put down the bowl and bowed his hand, "After being taught, Li has nothing to repay, otherwise how about giving this sword to the little brother?"
The silver sword in her hand was already scorching before it was unsheathed, and it penetrated people's hearts.
"This can't be helped!" Wang Xiaoer and Shopkeeper Lei spoke almost at the same time.
"I have made up my mind, little brother, this sword will be with me for a while, and it will belong to you in the future, if you don't accept it, you will look down on Li!" Lin Ying handed the white sword to Wang Xiao's second-hand hand.
"This ......," Xiao Er was stunned. I don't know how to speak.
Lin Ying waved his hand and returned to his seat, "This taste should only be in the sky, and it is rare to taste it a few times in the world, hahaha." ”
After a delicious meal, the wine is full.
"Shopkeeper Lei, you haven't told me yet, what is Hu Guain?"
When Lin Ying said goodbye, he couldn't help but ask.
Shopkeeper Lei covered his belly, his face was a little more winey, and he drank heartily, "Li Gongzi still remembers it!"
"I don't know if I can answer the things that Li doesn't understand?
"Not the best grade!"
"Not the best grade?"
"It's just a pigtail meat. ”
Pig tail?
Shopkeeper Lei shook his head, looked at Lin Ying's half-believing expression, and said leisurely: "Alas, how do you taste it, how do you look at it, you think it is a delicacy, but in fact it is just the most inferior food, but I don't know how much effort I have put into this restaurant." Pumping the bones, removing the fishiness, staying up for days and nights, baking, wrapping, every step is to cover up its inferior nature and improve its grade. ”
He continued with some disappointment: "It's a pity, rotten oranges are rotten oranges after all, the essence can't be changed, and the last way is to add high-quality meat to the inferior meat to improve the meat quality, so in the end, even you can't tell the difference." ”
"I see. Lin Ying's doubts were solved, "Then the junior will leave!"
The shopkeeper Lei was not ambiguous, and learned from Lin Ying, "Li Gongzi, I am also a trustworthy person, and I have prepared materials and clothes for you!"
"Thank you!"
"Li Gongzi take care!" Wang Xiaoer held the white sword given by Lin Ying and rushed to the door to say goodbye.
"Khan Tartar wait for me. Lin Ying looked at Wang Xiaoer at the door and greeted Khan Tartar.
Li Gongzi was outside the building, heroic and cool, dressed in green clothes under the rendering of the red cover of the dusk outside the city, adding a bit of spirit, willow eyebrows unfolded, her red lips opened slightly, her jade hand was raised, and she arched her hand towards Wang Xiaoer, and a breath of air gushed out in her chest.
"I can see it today, Lingyunzhi, a young man who knows the king, why don't you rise to the top and follow the wind sword!
