Chapter 023: Signboard
People come and go very frequently in Yisu Hall, and the calls of many guest officials and servants are endless.
Seeing that a guest was coming, the little guy who greeted the guest at the door walked quickly towards Xie Mian with a smile, "May I ask the two guest officers, we have two new dishes in our store today, and the rice is free, do you want to give it a try." ”
Xie Mian raised his hand and wiped the fake beard on his face, "The name of the dish, the spiciness, what is it." ”
The smile on Xiao Er's face froze, "This ......"
Xie Mian chuckled and said, "You always know the name of the dish." ”
Xiao Er didn't know for a while whether these two guest officials were here to make trouble, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to hesitate and say: "The name of the dish was taken by our shopkeeper, it is called West Lake Hot and Sour Fish, and there is also a dish name that is a little chic, called Ant on the Tree." ”
"Ants on trees?" Xie Mian frowned, this is not a dish that they only have in modern times?
Could it be that the boss behind this Su Tang is the same as her, and he is also a person who wears books.
Xiao Er saw her hesitation, thinking that she was suspecting him of nonsense, and said: "It's better for the two guest officers to sit down first, and Xiao Er will serve you a pot of rice wine first." ”
The service is very comprehensive.
Xie Mian and Agarwood were very satisfied.
After following Xiao Er to sit down, Xie Mian took a closer look at the layout of this Su Tang.
The table top is not made of wood, but a stone mountain, on which the clear water is laid out, and every ravine is planted with teeth, and the verdant verdant is very pleasing to the eye.
This chair is also very exquisite, Xie Mian's eyes are sharp, and he can see at a glance that it is made of the legendary very precious mahogany.
"Miss, it's been a long time since we've been here." Agarwood looked around curiously, "I've almost forgotten what it looks like here." ”
Xie Mianzheng looked around, saw Agarwood say this, and replied, "How long haven't you been here?" ”
Agarwood promised: "Moyu has a few months." ”
Xie Mian nodded, "I see." ”
Xiao Er pushed open the door at this time, and Zhang Luo said: "Two guest officers, this is the recipe made by the boss of our Yisu Hall, you can see what you want to eat, just report the number." ”
Xie Mian looked at it and casually ordered the top two dishes on the menu, "Chicken pith bamboo shoots, rouge goose breast." That's all for these two dishes. ”
The little guy took the menu, "Okay, you two wait." ”
After Xie Mian left, he picked up the wine jug and poured a bowl of rice wine to drink, in the end, he liked to drink rice wine very much in modern times, so he took a closer look at the viscous juice in this bowl, scooped it into his stomach with a spoon, and only felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and his stomach was hot, and he suddenly felt his appetite opened.
"He's a businessman."
Agarwood was confused when he heard this.
Mo about a stick of incense time, Xiao Er pushed open the door and handed over two dishes, the rouge goose breast was ruddy in color, and it looked a little dry after being salted, and the other chicken pith bamboo shoots looked very fresh and tender, smelling fragrant.
Agarwood picked up a piece of bamboo shoots and said in surprise: "It's still like this, I've been thinking about it for a long time." ”
Xie Mian tasted a piece of it, thoughtfully, "This tastes really good." ”
I don't know if it's a coincidence, the two dishes Xie Mian ordered happened to be the original Xie Mian's favorite food, and the agarwood was Xie Mian's personal maid, so naturally I also liked the taste.
After eating, Agarwood shouted with satisfaction, "Little Er, let's settle the bill!" ”
Xie Mian took out a bag of copper coins from his sleeve, and threw it directly when he saw Xiao Er coming, and the latter took it unexpectedly, looking stunned.
"Guest, this is ......"
Xie Mian's expression was cold, "Go and call your boss, I have something important to ask for." ”
The little guy looked embarrassed, "Our boss told us before, and he said that he didn't see anyone. ”
"Then you don't have to pay me back this copper coin, just treat it as a reward for you."
"This ......"
Xie Mian's eyes were cold, "You don't want to?" ”
It's really Xie Mian's eyes are too sharp, and the little guy can't bear it a little, so he immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "I want ...... I want"
"Why don't you get out of here?"
"Yes, yes, it's this ......," Xiao Er immediately ran away with the bounty.
Agarwood was very puzzled, "Miss, why do you want to meet the boss of this Sutang?" ”
Xie Mian said: "I'm just curious." ”
Agarwood wanted to ask something more, but seeing that her young lady's face seemed to be a little bad, she was stunned.
"Let's go, let's go to Qipinju."
Agarwood obediently replied: "Miss, Qipinju is a little far from here, should we go or take a carriage?" ”
Xie Mian frowned, Qipinju was actually a little far away from this?
Finally, Xie Mian said: "Let's take a carriage." ”
The two decided, so they went to the platform not far away to discuss with a coachman at random, but they didn't expect that the man would be flustered when he heard that he was going to Qipinju.
"Two, why don't you ask others, I'm not going to Qipinju."
Xie Mian's eyes were sharp, and he threw a bag of broken silver over, "Is this enough?" ”
The coachman hesitated, "This ......"
"If you don't go, forget it." Xie Mian put away the broken silver, "Agarwood, let's go." ”
"Wait, I'll take you, I'll take you."
The corners of Xie Mian's mouth hooked up with a smile, "Then I'll bother you." ”
Xie Mian and Agarwood quickly got into the carriage, and I don't know how long it took, the coachman heard a sound of "Yu" and stopped.
The coachman's voice came from the front, "Second master, it's here." ”
After Xie Mian and Agarwood got out of the car, they were a little stunned, after all, there was not even a hot gold plaque in front of the Qipinju in Kyoto, which was famous for its jade tofu soup, and there was a lot of dust in front of the broken door, and Xie Mian was a little choked when he walked in.
Agarwood only goes to Yisu Hall to eat on weekdays, and this Qipinju has not been patronized for several years. But she remembered that when she came, the door was bustling with people.
It seems that this rumor is true.
Xie Mian picked up the handkerchief to hide her face slightly, walked forward and pushed open the door of Qipinju, but before she could touch her hands, the door opened by itself.
There were only a few guys standing guard at the counter, and some even dozed off. The sound of the door opening was not small, and the creak was like eating people.
Seeing someone patronizing, several guys looked at each other, and soon walked over to Xie Mian, but unlike the enthusiasm of Yisutang Xiaoer, their faces were gloomy, "Second master, what do you want to eat?" ”
Xie Mian's expression was calm, "Jade tofu soup." ”
Several guys looked stunned and were about to speak, when suddenly a sound of footsteps came from the stairs not far away, and Xie Mian's eyes instinctively followed that place, "Who?" ”
The man's jade hand held a fan and swayed, his black hair was tied up high, his eyes were frivolous and his face was indifferent, "This girl, the signboard of our Qipinju has long been gone, don't you know what this person knows?" ”
After speaking, he seemed to feel panicked, "I think the girl should stay in the boudoir honestly, this man dressing up as a woman is too shallow." ”
Xie Mian's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he even ripped off the fake beard on his mouth at will, not counting his own, but also pulling agarwood.
"Can't a woman want to have a fresh beard, this girl came to this Qipinju today, just to drink jade tofu soup, you do it, or don't do it."
Song Qiqi glanced at the woman in front of him, his eyes were inquiring, this girl's cheeks were like peach, her face was springy, her body was slender, and she looked like a lady from afar, but why did she want to drink his signboard?
Song Qiqi felt that this was not some new type of framing method created by Yisutang.
He frowned slightly, "If the girl wants to drink the signboard, there is a drop in the hall next door, and I would have sold the secret recipe a long time ago." ”
Who knew that Xie Mian seemed to have heard some joke, "I don't know what nonsense Gongzi is talking about, your signboard of Qipinju was handed down by Xianwei, even if you give it, I'm afraid it will be missing the most important ingredient." ”
Song Qinian, who was stabbed in the heart, was stunned, and his eyes were cold, "Who are you?" ”
Xie Mian raised his hand and shook the handkerchief gently, "Do you know the pearl jade white jade soup?" ”
Song Qiqi's face was shocked, "Woc, girl, aren't you ......"
Xie Mian nodded, "Exactly." ”
Song Qiqi, who was still elegant and decent, immediately couldn't calm down, he walked quickly to Xie Mian, just when Agarwood thought he was going to kill people, who knew that he actually wiped his tears, "Fellow meets fellow, two tears are in my eyes, I have been guarding for so many years, and I finally met my fellow countryman......"
But his expression suddenly distorted again, "Oh no, how do you know I'm ...... too"
Xie Mian looked at his waist and was speechless, "You don't look at what you're wearing......"
As if suddenly realized, Song Qiqi suddenly realized, "WOC, I forgot." ”
Agarwood was confused on the side, "Miss, what nonsense is this son talking about?" You...... Did you know the boss of Qipinju before? ”
The owner of Qipinju, Agarwood, saw it when he bought the signboard a few years ago, because of his handsome appearance, Agarwood recognized it at a glance when he saw it today.
Miss didn't seem to have come to Qipinju to eat before, and Agarwood originally wanted to introduce it, but who knew that the two of them seemed to have known each other for a long time.
Xie Mian knew what Agarwood was thinking, and explained: "I don't know Song Gongzi and I didn't know each other, but a few years ago, when I went out to watch the fireworks and met him busy in Qipinju, I smelled the fragrance of jade soup at that time, and I couldn't help but taste it." ”
This panic was very unsatisfactory, but because Xie Mian said it to Agarwood, Agarwood subconsciously thought that Xie Mian would not lie to her, so she naturally believed it in her heart.
"So that's the case, Miss Agarwood understands.
Song Qiqi was dumbfounded, I'll go here, this little maid will believe these words, is she stupid?
Shocked, his sixth uncle flew off the wall and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Xie Mian nodded with satisfaction, "Now you can give me jade white jade soup." ”
Song Qiqi was angry when he heard this, "I'm afraid you won't be able to drink this dish in my hands in my lifetime." ”
Xie Mian frowned, "Why?" ”
Song Qiqi didn't answer this question, but just asked, "What's your name?" ”
Xie Mian replied: "Xie Mian." ”
As soon as Song Qiqi heard these two words, his expression changed instantly.
