Chapter VII: Displaced People
Shen Yanxi looked at the curious woman lying on the car window, and the breeze blew through, blowing the broken hair in the woman's ears.
He said: "At noon, Miss Jiang is doing her duty, where is the restaurant in this city where the food is delicious?" Show me the way. ”
Jiang Yu was hungry as soon as she heard that she was going to the restaurant to eat, her eyelashes flashed a bright color, and she suddenly became energetic.
Originally, Lou Canxue came here today and had the money to go down to the restaurant to eat and drink spicy food, but halfway through, a regent was killed and asked her to accompany her.
I was excited at the thought that I could slaughter him for a while.
But her memory of Huaizhou is still stuck in when she was seven or eight years old to recuperate, time has passed, and she still knows where the food is delicious.
Anyway, which restaurant doesn't have to eat well these days? Which street doesn't have a restaurant anymore?
So, Jiang Yu pointed at me with a look that believed in me and understood very well.
"This way, this way. Oh no, this way. Keep going straight ahead and turn left again, right. ”
"The beef stir-fry on that road is delicious!"
Qiang Ji drove the carriage according to her instructions.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage was successfully driven to the street of the homeless people......
There is a street in the west of the city, which has been abandoned for many years. Gradually, some displaced people who fled from the border city occupied the entire street.
Sewage collects in one place and flows everywhere. You can smell a strange smell at the corner of the street.
Groups of unclothed homeless people sat in a group at the base of the wall, all with dull faces and empty eyes.
At this time, I saw someone breaking in, staring at the carriage one by one.
"Uh...... I'm sorry, I'm pointing the wrong way, I should ...... Is it over there? Jiang Yu touched the back of her neck embarrassedly.
The streets were full of hungry homeless people, hurrying the wagons to turn around.
It was too late to say that it was too late, and a few bold male beggars actually dragged the carriage back.
"Diao Min dodge, you dare to stop the carriage of the emperor's nobles?"
Several homeless people with fierce faces surrounded the front of the carriage, and Qiang hurriedly drove away.
Jiang Yu opened the curtain of the window and looked at the homeless people.
Although they had the audacity to stop the carriage, most of them swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
The hand holding the stick was trembling. The eyes hidden under the unkempt hair reveal determination.
Not a killer.
It's really displaced people.
Maybe they had a stable home not so long ago. But because of the border war, whether it is in the middle of the road, or natural disasters.
Now in exile, there is no place to live.
There are even many women, children and children on the inside of the street, all of them with yellow faces and thin muscles, who must have not eaten for many days.
Shen Yanxi noticed that Jiang Yu peeking out the window was frowning.
"Qiang, scatter some silver, and leave quickly."
"Yes"
Qiang Ji held the horse rope in one hand, and took out some small pieces of loose silver from the inside pocket of the gray robe with the other.
With a wave of his big hand, the broken silver drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed on the ground in the distance.
"Uncle is in a good mood today, give you a reward."
Surrounded in front of the carriage, under the far wall, the eyes unblinkingly followed the arc of broken silver.
There was an uproar, and everyone seemed to explode in an instant, and collectively rushed towards the place where the silver fell.
At this time, Qiang raised his horsewhip and drove the carriage out of the street of the wanderers.
Qiang Ji is a hot-blooded boy of seventeen or eighteen, and he can't help but complain.
"Master, those homeless people just clearly plotted against us and wanted to kidnap us. Just let me run them away, why don't you give them the money? ”
Shen Yanxi answered lightly: "People can do anything when they are hungry, even if they see that this carriage is unusual, they will want to fight if they know that they can't be provoked, and their courage is commendable." ”
Jiang Yu secretly felt from her heart, it turned out that this regent was so broad-minded, he didn't know it before.
And at this time, Qiang has a black line, according to the habits of his own masters in the past, these Diao people are afraid that they have already returned to Huangquan.
He could only remain silent and silently drive the carriage.
In the end, I found a restaurant with a luxurious appearance.
"Drunk Jiangyue, this must be good. Lord, let's eat this. Jiang Yu said excitedly while looking at the decorated and magnificent restaurant.
Shen Yanxi listened to her dark anticipatory tone, Ling Qiang stopped the carriage and went down first.
Jiang Yu jumped out of the carriage with a skirt in one hand and a pedal in front of her with the other.
As soon as he landed, his center of gravity was unstable and he stumbled, and his arm was immediately supported by a big hand.
"Stand firm." Shen Yanxi's calm and hoarse voice sounded above his head.
Jiang Yu's current body is almost the same as in her previous life, and she is no longer short among women, and she can even be said to be tall.
But he couldn't stand Shen Yanxi's tall and slender figure, and the two stood together, Jiang Yu was worthy of his broad chest.
Jiang Yu raised her head and looked at Shen Yanxi and thanked her.
Qiang who parked the carriage strode into the restaurant, and the store ran to meet him immediately.
"How many guest officers?"
When Shen Yanxi and Jiang Yu stepped into the threshold, Qiang Jian immediately separated the other store from running to greet him.
"Master, Miss Jiang. This way, this way. ”
Zui Jiangyue is a small three-story building. Even in the daytime, the shop is full of lanterns.
They are not wrong, the delicacies of Zui Jiangyue are delicious in Huaizhou, and there is an endless stream of customers coming and going every day.
There are also dozens of running halls on the first floor of the store, and they are constantly greeting customers.
At this time, the little brother in front of Jiang Yu was asking with a smile: "What dish does the guest officer order, the specialties of our store today are Taibai fish head, squirrel catfish, yellow stewed beef head, and fried ......."
The shop ran quickly and finished a round of specialties, obviously well-trained.
After a circle, Jiang Yu didn't remember a few names, but he keenly heard a "charcoal-roasted Biyun Beast".
"What? Do you even have spirit animals from neighboring countries?
Biyun Beast is a kind of mythical beast that only sees its head but not its tail in legends.
It is rumored in the neighboring countries of Jiale that this mythical beast once saved the life of their old emperor, so they enshrined the Biyun Beast as a rare item that symbolizes the auspiciousness of their country.
As for how rare it is, no one has ever seen it.
In just over two years since his death, a restaurant in Huaizhou actually has a dish of charcoal-roasted Biyun Beast.
It's really unheard of and unseen in the previous life.
When the shop ran hall heard Jiang Yu shouting like this, he suddenly looked aware of it.
He looked at Shen Yanxi's body next to him, and saw the unusual moon white robe with fabric.
"The guest officer looks like it's from outside, this Biyun Beast is not the Biyun Beast."
As he spoke, he bent down and whispered, "Isn't this the war with that country last year?" The people hate it so much, that's why this dish is ......"
The implication of the words was that Jiang Yu instantly understood.
In the previous life, although the Jiale Kingdom was indispensable for internal fighting, it has always maintained friendly exchanges with its neighbors.
The sudden start of the war was something she didn't expect.
As for this dish, it is not surprising that the two countries are at war, and the people are not happy.
The people naturally hated the country opposite, and named the spirit beast they worshiped as the name of the dish. It's humiliating.
"Then a charcoal-burned Biyun Beast." Jiang Yu thought to herself, I want to see what kind of dish this is.
As soon as the words fell, she felt Qiang's puzzled gaze.
She immediately replied, "That...... Wang, no. Master, you must want to taste it, master, do you want to eat anything? “
In this kind of scene, it is inconvenient to call the prince when she is out of the house, and she pays attention to Shen Yanxi's expression while complimenting.
The latter's expression was not shocked, which was also the reason why Jiang Yu was afraid in his previous life.
She thinks she has a good eye for people, and in just a few years, she has promoted many ministers of the DPRK and China.
There is almost no time to look away.
But Shen Yanxi is so dislike that there are no flaws.
It's unpredictable.
"Miss Jiang, look at it, the characteristics of Huaizhou are naturally familiar to you."
Jiang Yu looked at the corner of the mouth in front of her and pulled out a strange arc, and couldn't help but feel a cool breath coming out of her back.
"Okay, okay, then I'll say it in advance, I didn't bring silver taels when I went out in a hurry."
Who knew that Shen Yanxi actually laughed twice when he heard this: "Don't worry, the palace is not short of this money, and you can still afford to invite the girl to a meal." ”
"Oh, that's good." Jiang Yu immediately rushed to the hall and said, "Then hurry up, and serve all the specialties in your store!" ”
Rantang was overjoyed when he heard it: "Yo, we have seven specialties in this store......"
"It's not bad for money." Before Runtang finished speaking, Jiang Yu hurriedly interrupted.
Moment.
The three of them moved upstairs to a private room, facing the forty-nine dishes on the doubling table.
If you want to talk about why you changed the land.
That is, the table downstairs is too small to fit these seven seven forty-nine special dishes.
The runner introduced the food on the table: "...... The guest officer asked to see this dish again, this is to take a number of geese, pick their feathers, and take their internal organs. Stuffed with meat and glutinous rice, the five flavors are harmonious. Then put the goose in the sheep and sew it to burn. Finally, it is burned with charcoal, which can be described as extremely fragrant. ”
"By the way, today is the Shangsi Festival, and our store has sent a few special traditional delicacies for the Shangsi Festival. The guest officer enjoyed it slowly. ”
Ran out respectfully and closed the wooden door.
Jiang Yu stared at this charcoal-burned Biyun beast's belly, although it was fake, the workmanship creativity was good.
Naturally, there are so many dishes that can't be eaten, and Jiang Yu has eliminated the dishes that seem to be appetizing.
Qiang Ji looked at the miserable situation on the table, swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Miss Jiang, can't you be reserved when you go out." ”
"Yes, yes." Jiang Yu touched her stomach: "I'm full, burp, you use it slowly." ”
Shen Yanxi put down his chopsticks slowly: "I'm also full, let's settle the bill." ”
"Huh?" Jiang Yu held her stomach and stood up leisurely and followed Shen Yanxi's footsteps.
Hearing this, Qiang Ji hurriedly stuffed the dish in front of him into his mouth, and pulled a roast chicken leg with his hand.
Jiang Yu was happy when she saw this: "Little guard, pay attention to being reserved when you go out." “
Qiang: "......"
Qiang Ji trotted forward to settle the bill, and Jiang Yu followed Shen Yanxi down the sturdy mahogany stairs slowly.
Suddenly, there was a scream in the lobby on the first floor.
"What to do, what to do. Come on, the little beggar is robbing in broad daylight! ”
Instantly, the hall was noisy, and I saw a figure covered in mud slipping out of the gate with a few dishes in his arms.
A few runners hurriedly chased after them.
"Stop, stop." Sounds from near and far.
"Hey, it's going to cost you money, the food is messed up." A man covered in flesh shouted at a pear wood table.
