Chapter 347: Yang Chun Mian (1)
Near noon, Wen Mingtang and Zhao You walked into a noodle restaurant at the end of Shengyefang, and one of them asked for a bowl of noodles and two side dishes.
It's not that he is reluctant to spend money, although he is still a little short of being able to afford a house in Chang'an, but Wen Mingtang is still not short of money for the next restaurant in Suri. In particular, Ji Caimai checked the accounts in advance, and Wen Mingtang received the money earned from doing takeaway stalls two days ago, and now he has a small savings.
There are many shops of all kinds in the area of Keshengye Fang, and the buying and selling transactions are the most frequent, and the noon time is the time when there are the most people.
Although it was not too late for the two to come to Shengye Fang, whether it was a restaurant or a somewhat famous restaurant, it was already full.
Seeing this, Wen Mingtang didn't say much, but just took Zhao You through the most prosperous street in Shengye Fang and went around the alley behind the street.
The noodle shop at the back of the alley is remote and narrow, and it is difficult for horse-drawn carriages to pass, so there are not many people.
Wen Mingtang took Zhao You to sit down at the window on the street, pushed open the window and looked at the back door of the shop not far ahead.
The front door of this shop is facing the most prosperous street of Shengye Fang, and the shops on this street are naturally not small, and several shops are opened up, and the upper and lower floors are the same jewelry shop.
The person who can open such a jewelry shop on this street is not an ordinary person, and the owner behind this jewelry shop is no one else, it is the lord of Liyang.
From a distance, in addition to the restaurants that need to transport ingredients in and out, only the jewelry shop of the lord of Liyang has opened the back door.
A jewelry shop deliberately opened the back door? Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's something else, who knows?
With the guy saying "come on", Yangchun noodles were served.
Yangchun noodles are quite popular in Jiangnan and other places, get up early and go to any noodle restaurant on the street, call a bowl of Yangchun noodles, a bowl of clear soup noodles is simple and simple but delicious, it can be said to be the morning food of many people.
Looking at the noodles and thin noodles decorated with only two or three shallots in the bowl, Zhao You said "oh" and said: "It turns out that this Yangchun noodle is a clear soup and light noodles, the name is so elegant, what kind of noodle should I be!" ”
Wen Mingtang said with a smile: "The name of this noodle is Yangchun Baixue is elegant, but the reason is simple, because the first such clear soup and light noodles are sold for ten yuan in a bowl of noodles in Jiangnan and other places, and October is Xiaoyangchun, and the market secretly uses Yangchun to represent ten, so the name is Yangchun noodles." ”
A spoonful of lard, a spoonful of sauce, and a spoonful of clear soup are used as the base, and the noodles are topped, and finally garnished with chopped green onions, forming a bowl of Yangchun noodles. Although it looks simple and simple to make, the noodles are very particular about the heat of the noodles and the cooking of the noodles, the soup is salty and fresh with the aroma of lard, and the aroma of green onions is integrated into the soup, and the good Yangchun noodles made with simple ingredients are extremely delicious.
The bowl in front of me is quite authentic, eat noodles and drink soup first, drink two mouthfuls of Yangchun noodle soup, and pour the selected side dish toppings into the bowl.
The pickled cabbage, shredded pork, and shredded bamboo shoots are salty and delicious, and the fried golden poached eggs on both sides are fastened on top, making them attractive to eat empty or pressed into the soup.
Zhao You on the side took a little taste and then buried his head in a dull face. Listening to the loud sound of slugging in his ears, Wen Mingtang glanced at the egg core that was slightly shaking in the middle of the poached egg, and saw that it was a flowing heart, and he collected a little strength when he was fast, and carefully picked up the poached egg soaked in soup, and then took a bite of it, and the flowing egg yolk gushed out from it.
Although this noodle restaurant is a little remote and there are not many people, this noodle is quite beautiful. Looking at the small noodle shop, there are only a few tables, simple, but very clean.
The owner of the noodle restaurant is a middle-aged couple, who are busy going in and out, making authentic Yangchun noodles, but because the location is too remote, the business is mediocre.
The two couples were busy whispering trivial things such as "dishes" and "noodles", Wen Mingtang bit the poached egg on the side of his lip, and couldn't help but say: The familiar Wu Nong's soft language, no wonder it is so authentic.
】
was just in the middle of the conversation, but I heard the middle-aged woman suddenly say in Wu language, "It's almost, it's time."
Wen Mingtang was stunned for something "It's time", but he heard a "rustling" sound coming from not far away.
Instinctively, when he looked up at the source of the sound, he saw that the back door of the jewelry shop, which was still closed, suddenly opened, and two women dressed as maids walked out of the back door of the jewelry shop, and then turned around and locked the back door of the jewelry shop from the outside.
After that, I instinctively looked left and right at the alley, and then turned around and left.
When Wen Mingtang was stunned, Zhao You's voice sounded in his ears: "Another bowl of Yangchun noodles, it's delicious, this time I want that...... Three fresh toppings. ”
The woman who was originally speaking in Wu immediately said "eh", and then said in the authentic Chang'an official dialect, "Guest officer, wait", and then the voice under the bowl sounded.
Wen Mingtang picked up a quick noodle and put it in his mouth, chewing it while thinking about the situation: although the two women dressed as maids looked as if they hadn't done anything, their hands were empty, and they didn't take anything, but the reaction of looking around from left to right really looked like they were thieves.
was eating noodles and thinking about the scene he had just seen, the woman came over with Zhao Youyao's Yangchun noodles and toppings, and when she put the noodles down, she didn't forget to joke with Zhao You, "The guest officer has a good appetite."
Zhao You said "eh", and then said, "That's it!" The woman looked at Wen Mingtang who was eating noodles with a smile and said, "What is the little lady looking at just now?" Are they the two who came out of the Kasa Kee jewelry shop in front of them? ”
Wen Mingtang didn't raise his head immediately, but the action of eating noodles was a meal, and he let out a "hmm" with the noodles in his mouth.
The woman didn't seem to hear her evasion, but still smiled and said, "I will come out at this time of the day, maybe take a shortcut back to the palace!" ”
The name of this Kasa Kee jewelry shop has the word "Kasa", which can be regarded as a clear display of the owner behind the scenes.
Although there were not many people in the noodle shop, the woman's words did not hide from everyone, and the customers who were eating noodles also heard it.
When you think about something, you know something is wrong.
"The palace won't take a shortcut and go this way!" A guest who was eating noodles said "Huh" and said strangely, "What are you doing through the back door?" ”
The woman smiled, stroked the hair that hung down on the sides of her face, and said casually, "I won't know about this." I just know that it has been more than three months in a row, and it will come out every day! ”
As soon as these words came out, I don't know if it was Wen Mingtang's illusion, but I felt that the atmosphere in the noodle restaurant was quiet, and the diners who were originally snorting noodles subconsciously slowed down the action of snoodle, and in the entire noodle restaurant, only Zhao You next to her was still snorting and cheerful.
