Chapter 115: The Fish and the Cat
On the official road to the northern frontier country, two six-horse carts all the way north galloped on the road without stopping.
Before dark, the car drove to a place called "Little Wave". Bai Su told Zhou Xiaofei and others that it was a long journey, and the horses should pay attention to service, otherwise it would be far away to go home, and the more the road behind, the weather was often very cold.
Zhou Xiaofei didn't want to arrive sooner, this time he was just a follower, and the host was Yi Xiaoxiao.
Although Yi Xiaoxiao is like an arrow, it is also a happy thing to be able to play well on the road. Besides, there are a lot of tempting delicacies along the way, if you forget or miss the opportunity to eat a delicious meal, is it still called "food"?
Bai Su drove to a place called "Xiaolangdi Inn" and stopped.
The men in the inn were overjoyed to see the cart of six horses parked outside, and galloped out of the horse as if the stallion had seen a mare, and besides, at the same time there were twelve fat horses, after all, if you can see the carriage of four horses here, it will already be considered a distinguished guest.
"Is there a safe stable?" the White Devil asked the leading fellow.
"Yes, yes!" So after everyone got off the car, the carriage was pulled to two horse workshops, which were used to place the carriage, and the door could be locked after being put in, so that there was no need to unload the items and goods on the cart, and it was convenient for merchants who passed by with too many goods. It's just that opening a horse workshop is like opening a room for people to live in, and the price is not acceptable to rich businessmen.
The horse workshop, which had been vacant for a long time, opened two rooms at once, and this guy smiled so brightly that people wondered if this was a guy or an innkeeper? Is there still a commission for the money earned?
On the contrary, the boss who sat at the counter did not care about the business, and dozed off little by little in the counter like fishing.
Bai Su knocked on the counter: "Is there a bigger first-class room?"
????????
The men went to the carriage outside, and the people at the counter, although they slept a little shaky, but they did not wake up, and they did not feel the sound of the low decibel outside, and continued to shake and sleep.
"Hey, the wine has been stolen!!" Zhou Xiaofei saw that he didn't hear Bai Su's words, and he didn't know if Bai Su's voice was too gentle, or if the boss was too involved in his dreams and didn't want to wake up? Seeing a few jars of wine on the side, he suddenly had a plan and shouted wildly.
"Ah?!! stealing wine? my wine ??????" The boss chose wine between wine and dreams. But this process made the people waiting outside the counter feel really "drunk".
When I saw that my wine was still there, I realized that someone was just trying to wake up in this way.
"How many distinguished guests want to stay in the hotel?" The wine was not lost, and another guest came, and the boss's sleeping red face was more ugly than a monkey's buttocks.
"Nonsense!" Yi Xiao Xiao said bluntly.
"How many people want to open a room?"
"Still nonsense!!" Yi Xiaoxiao then said bluntly.
Now the boss can't hold it on his face, and he is teased by the little hairy girl in front of him, who is not in the middle of winter, and he is very angry that he is unwilling to do business, and he wants to continue the momentum of his dream.
At this moment, the busy man outside came in: "Boss! The two horse workshops have been locked with big locks, and the twelve horses have been placed securely!"
When the innkeeper heard that there were two horse workshops and twelve good horses, the smile on his face that was about to fall suddenly burst into an extremely ugly bloom again.
The appearance of the guy made the next opening procedure simpler. This made Zhou Xiaofei and others understand that whether a store can be opened or not, sometimes it is not about how capable the boss is, the key depends on whether the store has a subordinate who can handle things, otherwise it is really scary to rely on this boss who can only fish.
The group finally settled down, took a hot shower, and went downstairs to eat.
"Little Er?" Yi Xiao Xiao asked the guy standing beside him.
"Little Sister ??????" Xiao Er's words are not finished yet.
Yi Xiaoxiao immediately interrupted: "Who is the little sister?" ”
Zhou Xiaofei laughed on the side.
"What are you laughing at? I can't get used to hearing people call me sister except for you and my brother. Yi Xiao Xiao said.
Now Xiao Er knows that the little sister in front of him can't be called a little sister. Even more knowing, this group of people seemed to be centered on Xiao Xiao, and hurriedly changed their words: "This young lady, do you want something to eat?"
When Yi Xiaoxiao heard about eating, his face turned a lot ruddy, and most of the fire he held back along the way disappeared. He said proudly: "If there is anything delicious, bring it to Miss Ben." ”
Of course, this guy knew that the person in front of him had the strength to say this, and after answering the praise, he retreated.
"Susu, what kind of place is this?" Yi Xiaoxiao asked Bai Sudao.
"It's called: Xiaolangdi!"
"Xiaolangdi this place, to fish for a living, as the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea, this is against the small waves of Tianruo Lake, mainly to fish, rice for food, famous food are related to fish. There are many lakes in the south of Shinan, this day Ruohu Lake is the northernmost one, the lake is not very big, because of the north, so every year in the cold winter, the lake surface will be frozen, so people from all directions, when it comes to the cold winter, they will come to this day Ruohu Lake to see the beautiful scenery, most of the people, is here to skate. On the thick ice, don't talk about the excitement. The White Devil seemed to know more about this and rushed to explain.
"Isn't that when there are many people, people are worried that they will be stepped on the ice and fall into the ice lake to feed the fish?"
"If only we could go ice skating on the lake now. Yi Xiao Xiao sighed.
"Miss is home, you can skate on the flat ground in the backyard after the snow?!" Bai Su said to Yi Xiaoxiao.
"That's different! How small that place is!"
????????
A table of people was chatting, and a table of sumptuous meals had been served one after another.
Just now, everyone heard from the White Devil that the people here feed on fish and rice, and now it seems that it is indeed true. The staple food is rice, and almost all of the dishes are related to fish.
Everyone saw that the fish on the table was made sweet and sour, and their faces were sad.
The sour is sauerkraut fish, the sweet is sweet and sour fish fillet, the bitter is ginseng fish ball soup, the spicy is spicy caviar, and so on.
Finally, it was served on a dish that didn't look like fish, and this dish was quite mysterious, and from the outside, it was a dish wrapped in banana leaves, and together with the ginseng fish ball soup, it was placed in the middle of the table, which made everyone want to be the first to pick up the chopsticks and poke him in a hole.
Yi Xiaoxiao is undoubtedly the most thoughtful and impulsive person among these people, and in front of everyone, he has become the first person to poke holes.
With the banana leaf poked to the skin, the mystery of this dish finally comes to the fore.
Many times, the higher the hope, the more painful the fall, and that's the case now. When everyone saw that it was a fish that was poked out of a mess by Yi Xiaoxiao, everyone seemed to feel that what Yi Xiaoxiao had just poked was not a fish, as if it was their own heart, and at this moment, their hearts were dripping blood.
Seeing that the result of his impulsiveness was like this, Yi Xiaoxiao was very disappointed, and forgot to take back the chopsticks that were poked into the fish, and sat on the chair and said, "It's a dead fish again!"
Everyone didn't understand what she said, and they all served it? of course, it was a dead fish.
Hearing Yi Xiaoxiao say that it was a dead fish, he hurriedly explained: "It's not a dead fish! This is made of small rainbows that have just been caught from the lake, and the banana leaves have just been sent from the south, and they are to use a lot of precious spices, and after they are roasted in the charcoal fire, tear off the three layers of burnt banana leaves wrapped outside, and serve them hot." And it must be eaten hot, the meat is tender and delicious, and there is the unique fragrance of plantain leaves, which is a rare and precious dish here. Ordinary people can't eat it if they want to. ”
Everyone was persuaded by the perfect explanation of this little er, and the person who had no appetite just now was now praised as not an "ordinary person", which was a big appetite.
So Xiao Hongni, who was poked by Yi Xiaoxiao, was quickly divided by everyone, and only the skeleton and the head and tail of the fish remained.
Xiao Er wanted to ask if he wanted to have a good wine, but seeing the impatience of everyone, he canceled the idea of asking and retreated.
Sometimes there is no appetite because there is nothing to appetize, and now the table full of people has been so hungry by a grilled fish with banana leaves that they have just been eaten, and soon the fish on the table are almost eaten to the bone.
This made the innkeeper standing in the distance feel that these people were felines, at least for the rest of their lives.
"Ask for support!"
