After walking a short distance, the sky began to get groggy.

Because it was winter, it got dark quickly. Coupled with the heavy snowfall, the snow became heavier and heavier, and Bai Gu and his party settled in a small town.

After some inquiry, Bai Gu and the others learned that this place is called Shayu Town, which is a small town with no more than 100 households, and most of them make a living from farming and weaving, and they are not rich.

Shayu Town belongs to a big city more than ten miles away, Guimian City.

Guimian City is relatively prosperous, and the facilities are also perfect, so let the coachman rush a little, which is just a matter of two or three quarters of an hour.

It's just that Wang Xizhou said that there is a special food in Shayu Town, which tastes good and can be tasted.

And except for Shayu Town, there are almost no other places where this food is treated. Even the Turtle Sleeping City, which is only a dozen miles away, has none.

Bai Gu made the decision and let everyone go to the best inn in Shayu Town.

But it's also because there is only such an inn in the entire Shayu Town, and there is no more.

Bai Gu got out of the car, led Bai Xiaoxiao, who had just woken up and was still a little dazed, raised his eyes and swept the inn in front of him, which was only a two-story building, simple in appearance, and some years old.

Pantping small building.

Bai Gu tugged at the corners of his mouth.

This name is a bit casual.

Wang Xizhou stood beside Bai Gu and said with a smile: "More than ten years ago, Xizhou came here. I didn't expect that after so many years, everything is still the same here. ”

Bai Gu thought about it, and still asked, "Brother Wang, how old are you now?" You don't look too big now, do you? ”

Wang Xizhou smiled, "Xizhou is now more than a child, and after this year, it will be a rare time." ”

Bai Gu's eyelids twitched when he heard this.

Jiazi? More than?

Is it ancient after the New Year?

Forty is not confused, fifty knows fate, sixty sixties, seventy ancient rare, eighty canes are court, ninety are on the back of a mackerel, and they are 100 years old.

This Wang Xizhou is over sixty years old? Will you be 70 years old after the New Year?

Doesn't he look like a young man?

What's the situation?

Bai Gu was a little incredulous, "Brother Wang, you're not joking, are you?" You, aren't you still young? ”

"Go in first, go in first, sit down and talk."

There was only one young shopkeeper in the inn, two fellows, one more lazy than the other, and he didn't bother to come forward to receive the guests when he saw them, but just sat on the bench. One was drowsy, and the other two were sipping melon seeds, chatting and gossiping, and they were very happy.

Bai Gu frowned and asked for three first-class guest rooms.

Seeing that there was a big business coming, the young shopkeeper opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and began to open a room for Bai Gu and his party sickly.

Wang Xizhou looked at the shopkeeper who was lazy and couldn't help but smile, "I don't know how the old shopkeeper Zhang's pneumonia is, how is he doing now?" ”

When the young shopkeeper who was writing the room list heard this, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing and looked up at Wang Xizhou, "Who are you?" How do I know my dad's condition? ”

Wang Xizhou smiled and narrowed his eyes, "More than ten years ago, when I passed by here, I had a discussion with Mr. Zhang. ”

The young shopkeeper's eyes widened and he stared at Wang Xizhou for a while, and then he found a human face from the depths of his memory, and suddenly opened his mouth in shock, and asked a little uncertainly: "You, you are Mr. Wang?" ”

Wang Xizhou smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect you to grow so big after more than ten years." It's really rare to remember Xizhou. ”

The young shopkeeper smiled shyly, "Mr. Wang is a god!" More than ten years have passed, and the style is still the same! Thanks to your bottle of elixir, my father's pneumonia is much better. Now his old man's health is almost better, he eats a lot of food, except for an occasional cough, he rarely gets any other minor diseases. ”

Wang Xizhou smiled: "That's very good. If there is a chance, Xizhou also wants to have another discussion with Mr. Zhang. ”

The young shopkeeper nodded busily and said, "My father also misses Mr. Wang very much, and he is now enjoying his old age in Guimian City. If Mr. Wang doesn't mind, I can go and pick up my dad to the inn......"

Wang Xizhou shook his head, "You don't have to trouble the old shopkeeper Zhang to run around." Xizhou and his friends are just passing through here, and they will continue their journey in the near future. At that time, passing by the Turtle Sleeping City, I will catch up with the old shopkeeper Zhang. ”

The young shopkeeper suddenly looked at Bai Gu, who was only two fingers higher than the counter next to Wang Xizhou, "Since Mr. Wang and his friends are here, then I have to do my best to be a landlord." In this way, you can go upstairs, and I will cover all the food and accommodation expenses these days! ”

Wang Xizhou just wanted to shirk, but the young shopkeeper took the lead to speak, "Please don't shirk Mr. Wang." If it weren't for your bottle of elixir back then, my father would have suffered a lot of sins over the years. I'm a rough guy and I don't know how to thank you, so that's my thank-you gift. ”

Wang Xizhou agreed, "Then it's better to be respectful, and Xizhou will bother the shopkeeper for a few days." ”

"No, no, it is my honor for Mr. Wang to come to me. No hassle, no hassle! The young shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand.

Bai Xiaoxiao tugged at Bai Gu's sleeve and said aggrievedly: "Brother, I'm hungry." ”

Bai Gu smiled and rubbed Bai Xiao's little head, "Okay, okay, bear with it for a while, and we'll eat right away." ”

Bai Gu turned his head to look at Wang Xizhou again, "Brother Wang, why don't we eat first and talk while eating?" ”

Wang Xizhou nodded and said, "Okay." Then he said to the young shopkeeper: "Do you remember the old three?" Add another soup and that's it. ”

The young shopkeeper smiled and said, "Remember, I'll go and prepare now, you wait a while, and the food will be served immediately!" Ah Quan Ah Qi, stop talking, come and help! ”

The young shopkeeper rushed out of the counter in a hurry, grabbed the ears of the two guys, and went straight to the back kitchen.

Bai Gu raised his eyebrows.

Dare to love this inn, or the boss personally cooked.

As the young shopkeeper said, wait a moment.

Bai Gu and the others just went upstairs to clean up briefly, and a guy who had just been eating melon seeds and gossiping on the bench went upstairs and shouted that Bai Gu and they had gone downstairs to eat.

As soon as Bai Gu went downstairs, he saw that the largest table in the lobby was filled with several large plates and basins.

Bai Gu sat down, looked at the large plate of dishes he had never seen before, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "This, what kind of dishes are these?" ”

Wang Xizhou pointed to one of the large plates, and explained to Bai Gu with a smile: "These are some of the specialties here, and they taste very good. For example, this plate of golden noodles is beef, called Jiasha beef. It is to chop the beef into strips, wrap it in egg liquid, fry it until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and then cook it with a secret sauce to make this sandwich beef. ”

Wang Xizhou pointed to a plate full of swarthy unknown objects, "This is steamed eggs with cabbage." Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks, stir the egg whites, add condiments as a substrate, then put the hair cabbage on top of the egg whites and steam them for a while. Wait for the egg whites and hair cabbage to begin to take shape, then pour in the egg yolk and steam until cooked through; Take it out, cut it into cubes or diamonds, put it on a plate, pour it on a chicken broth or broth containing fungus, yellow flowers, bamboo shoots, chopped coriander, and a little flour, and drop a few drops of sesame oil before serving. Of course, there are also places where eggs are boiled in plain water and peeled and made whole, which is another matter. ”

Wang Xizhou pointed to a plate of cakes in the middle, "This is a unique delicacy in Shayu Town, called dog urine, which is a kind of bread." ”

Bai Gu frowned, "Dog urine, why is it such a name?" ”

Wang Xizhou said with a smile: "The custom here is that when the bride first enters the door, she will burn a cake for her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Legend has it that a bride made this cake with one foot on the stove and then held a small oil pot while pouring oil and baking the cake. The neighbors next to her saw her and jokingly called her like a dog peeing, so the cake she baked was called dog peeing. Of course, one of the most convincing explanations is that because oil was particularly precious at that time, people were reluctant to use more oil, and the action of pouring oil along the edge of the pot with a small oil pot when making cakes was like a dog urinating at the base of the wall, so it was called "dog urine". This is to knead the wheat flour well, roll it out, sprinkle it with fragrant bean flour, pour a little rapeseed oil and wipe it evenly, and roll it into a long roll. Then probe into a screw shape along the direction of the roll, cut into small sections, and flatten them one by one. Pour rapeseed oil into a hot pan, put the cake in, pour a circle of rapeseed oil along the edge of the pan, and keep turning the pancake to evenly color. When the cake is on fire, turn it over immediately, pour a circle of rapeseed oil along the edge of the pan, and keep turning the cake, fry it and serve. ”

Bai Gu was stunned, but he also pulled the corners of his mouth.

This name is really peculiar.

Sure enough, there are many wonders in the world.

As for the gnocchi soup, hand-grasped mutton, braised carp and grilled seaweed, there is no need for Wang Xizhou to explain more, Bai Gu knows it.

"Eat, eat, eat, taste my craft, I don't know how much I can get my father's craft." The young shopkeeper smiled honestly and greeted everyone.

Wang Xizhou tasted a bite of sand beef, nodded and said, "Don't lose to the old shopkeeper." ”

The young shopkeeper had a smile on his face, and he was very happy with Wang Xizhou's evaluation.

At the meal, the dishes are fragrant and the smile is even stronger.
