Chapter 6: First Encounter
Jade House is the largest restaurant in the south of the imperial capital. Although the per capita consumption level of Nancheng is not as good as that of the east and west cities, Cuiyulou can be among the best among all the imperial capital restaurants, not only because of the confidence of the century-old restaurant, but also because of its very authentic Jin cuisine.
Jin cuisine is a special local dish located in the three cities of the heavenly ape and the southern part of Youzhou, the dishes are named after the exquisite style like beautiful utensils and the mild taste like warm jade, and it is a cuisine that can represent the scenery of the Jade Lion country in the international arena. However, due to the fact that there are a lot of Jin dishes in the imperial diet and the "Cloud Hundred Banquet" in the palace, in the early years, those masters who will be authentic Jin cuisine were invited into the palace to cook for the emperor, and Jin cuisine is very suitable for the style of the royal family, so the method and taste have not changed in the palace, so the palace Jin cuisine has become synonymous with the most authentic Jin cuisine.
However, the Jin dishes of Cuiyun Building flow out of the palace, and the methods are very authentic. According to what they said: most of the folk Jin restaurants are not too authentic, most of them are under the guise of bluffing, and the taste of the real Jin cuisine is very different, and they can't bear to let the Jin cuisine disappear in the future, so it has always been an authentic palace Jin cuisine practice. Unexpectedly, people accept it very much and respect it, so the most authentic is also the most suitable for the people. People often joked: I didn't expect that I had the same taste as Emperor Laozi.
The overall red-based decoration of Cuihua Building will make people feel particularly festive: the exquisite decoration of golden yellow also makes the whole restaurant show its luxury. Xiang Gai walked into the Jade Building with Yu Wuchou, Yu Wuchou saw the golden splendor in front of him, which gave him the same shock when he first entered the imperial city, and walked to the center of the lobby, his eyes slowly, gently, and full of shock to look at the surrounding decorations. "Wow, this hotel is so magnificent!"
It is said that the two met in Nancheng and suddenly felt hungry, so Yu Wuwu asked Xiang Gai if there were any very delicious restaurants nearby. This question stumped Xiang Gai, although he often came to the imperial capital, but he always went to Huo Ying's house, or Huo Ying took him to some restaurants, but most of those shops were in Xicheng, which was still quite far away from here, and there were even many places he didn't know where they were, let alone those who didn't often come to Nancheng. He doesn't pay too much attention to eating, he thinks that eating is just to better replenish energy, and it doesn't really matter whether the food is good or not, but it is worth saying that Liu Dadao's buns are an exception, and they are delicious and can replenish energy well, which is unimaginable treasure.
The reason why he chose Jade House is because his father likes this shop very much, and it seems that unlike Xiang Gai, his father prefers to taste food. The two followed the waiter and chose an empty seat in the hall close to the kitchen, according to Yu Wuchou's words, to make the food serve faster. Yu Wuchou and Xiang Gai took the menu handed over by the waiter, the menu was full of text, without pictures, and the name of the Jin dish was difficult to understand, most of the dishes were not reflected in the name of the dish, which was more difficult to understand, like what Jin Shiyu, the spring thunderstorm and the like. Yu Wuchou looked at the menu with a sad face, Xiang Gai thought that he was afraid that he would not have enough money in his pocket, so he looked at the menu repeatedly, and in order to be afraid that Yu Wuchou would be embarrassed, he said to Yu Wuchou: "Brother Yu, thank you for giving me the buns just now, otherwise I will invite this meal." “
Xiang Gai's move was not only to thank him, but also because he and Yu Wuchou hit it off at first sight, and felt that the two might become friends like him and Huo Ying in the future, in this case, it was no problem to invite friends to a meal.
When Yu Wuchou heard this, he was shocked at first, he didn't expect Xiang Gai, who had only seen him once, to invite him to dinner; Then there is a joy, it seems that today is a good meal; Finally, I asked, is it a bit bad to let Xiang Gai invite him to dinner.
Seeing Yu Wuwu's reaction, Xiang Gai continued: "Brother Yu, it's okay, I feel that the two of us are quite fated, let me invite you this time." “
Yu Wuchou struggled for a long time, and said reluctantly: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'm better to be respectful." ”
"Brother Xiang, you are the first friend I made when I went down the mountain without worry, if you need my help in the future, I will not give up."
"That'...... Well, waiter, get a copy of all your specialties. Hearing this, the beautiful waitress wearing a red cheongsam and a dignified demeanor was also a little surprised, "Sir, are you sure?" Xiang Gai on the side almost vomited out the water he was drinking, and then he choked on the water, coughing and looking at the fish in disbelief, "I didn't expect it...... He must be really hungry......"
After the waiter's confirmation and verification of the dishes, after a while, one after another Jin dishes were sent to the table: golden amber stuffed chicken, Jin Shiyu, cashew nuts teasing autumn fruits, shocking spring thunderstorms, Yunsheng stir-fried, four messenger fish...... As the ordered dishes were served one by one, the fish was worried and couldn't bear the hunger, and regardless of the waiter's introduction, he ate hard alone, and the people around him were also attracted by his bold eating appearance, and they all watched him eat involuntarily.
"Hey, did you see that? That kid, this can be eaten! ”
"He hasn't eaten in a few days......"
"Hey, it's good to be young, you can eat."
The curiosity and attention of the people around them, everyone's eyes were focused on their table, and the Xiang Gai on the side was a little embarrassed. "There are so many people, why are so many people looking here?" Xiang Gai was really frightened by people's eyes, and he sat up after eating.
"Anyway, Brother Yu is really delicious, obviously he looks thinner than me, don't be small, how can he be so edible?" Most of the delicacies on the table are solved by fish without worries, and it is indeed hard to imagine that there will be such a person who can eat.
……
After the meal, the two left the Jade Building, although they originally asked Xiang Gai to entertain guests, Yu Wuxian still shared the account with Xiang Gai at the time of checkout. Yu Wuchou told him that he had eaten a little too much, and the two had just met today, so he would still be a little embarrassed if he really let Xiang Gai treat him. Xiang Gai originally wanted to fight with him, but looking at the bill of thousands of yaka in his hand...... Well, then I'm sorry Brother Yu, I didn't keep my promise.
Xiang Gai looked at the time, and then said to Yu Wuchou: "Brother Yu, it's getting late, I'm missing first, let's see you tomorrow at the Apocalypse Academy." As he spoke, Xiang Gai waved goodbye to Yu Wuwu.
"Okay, then we'll see you at the Weather Academy tomorrow." Yu Wuxian responded. "By the way, how much is the Imperial Capital Inn for a night."
Thinking that Yu Wuchou hadn't found a place to rest for the night, Xiang Gai was about to leave, and when he heard Yu Wuchou's question, he thought about it and replied, "It seems to be about two hundred yaka." After saying that, he hurried towards Xicheng, it seemed that he was in a hurry......
"Two hundred yaka." Yu Wuchou muttered in his mouth, he had eaten too much, and he began to wander around the streets of Nancheng, looking for an inn while eating and eating. He opened his purse and counted how much money it was in it, and it didn't matter, only to find that he had only a hundred yaka in his pocket.
"What? Only a hundred yaka left? "The fish is unbelievable, I didn't expect that the money would be spent on the first day, what can I do! Now Xiang Gai is also gone, and he doesn't know anyone in the imperial capital, and he only has a backpack of "Lingbao Spirit Weapon" now.
"There are only these spiritual treasures left, is it difficult to ...... No, these are all good treasures, peerless. "But if I don't take these, then where will I sleep today?"
Just when the fish is not worried about the entanglement, a carriage is coming, the owner of the horse is mainly silver-white, with blue patterns, four-wheeled carriage, each wheel is a refined black hemp hedge, it seems that it often walks in rainy and humid places, and the two horses in front can also prove this, Tianliao horse, jade lion native horse breed, jade white throughout, silver gray horsehair, thick calves, hairy, so not suitable for running, wide hooves, steady pace, suitable for walking wetlands. This horse is often used in the humid areas of the southern part of the Jade Lion, and these two horses are of excellent quality and are really rare. Driving the carriage was a white-haired old man in a black suit and gold-wire monocles, with a Chinese face, a square chin, and very fierce eyes, more white and less black, looking at people like an eagle eating its prey.
Yu Wuchou couldn't help but shudder when he saw the old man in a suit, and when he saw the old man paying attention to him, he subconsciously dodged his eyes, like a child who had made a mistake. The old man in the suit didn't care anymore, but when the carriage was about to drive past him, Yu Wuchou finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey, what a terrible old man." ”
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by the wind in an instant, and it happened that Yu Wuxian raised his head and saw the people in the carriage head-on: it was a girl with silver-white shawl hair, long eyelashes blinking, black and blue pupils as deep as the starry sky, delicate face, like hibiscus out of water, a touch of red lips, like two petals with dew.
When Yu Wuchou saw her, he felt as if there was a sudden hollow in his heart, and an indescribable sense of heaviness and emptiness occupied Yu Wuchou's heart at this moment, and the whole person was sluggish.
The girl also saw the fish outside the window at this time, and when she saw him, the girl lost her mind at once, which was a kind of familiarity, a kind of loss, and a complex emotion that she had never experienced.
The two were stunned, and the carriage turned at this time, until they came back to their senses, and Yu Wuxian looked for the carriage at the turn, but it was long gone. On the other side, the girl also lifted the curtain and looked back, but found nothing.
"Miss, put it down, it's windy, and it's easy to catch a cold." The old man in the suit who was driving told the girl. The girl came to her senses and lowered the curtain, and she did not let the old man return to look for the boy, but regarded it as a strange experience.
At this time, Yu Wuchou saw that he could no longer find the carriage, and like the girl, he put this matter down.
However, at this time, he found himself standing in front of an inn called the Usher Inn.
