Chapter 218: Food

Haitang and her grandmother Ma spent a relaxing afternoon at Ma's house.

They chatted with their uncle and grandfather Ma Yukun, ate and drank, and talked a lot of gossip, and then said goodbye and went home against the sunset.

On the way home, they smelled a tempting aroma coming from a restaurant on the street in the carriage, and they couldn't help but move their index fingers.

Ma Shi lifted the curtain of the car and glanced out: "Who is Edao, it turned out to be his family, when the forehead family was still in Chang'an, his family's Ziyang steamed pot was very famous, and it was not bad to bring an elbow and gourd chicken, your grandfather often brought his forehead to eat with your father." I haven't eaten it for so many years, and as soon as I smell this aroma, I remember it. Tonight's dish is simple, just buy a table of noodles and go back to add dishes! ”

After that, she instructed Cui Dazhuang, who was driving the car, to park the car on the side of the road, book a table in the restaurant, and send it home.

Haitang sat in the carriage, smelling the aroma of food coming from the restaurant, and was quite looking forward to it.

Soon after they got home, the guy from the restaurant brought the table over. Hai Changan was also overjoyed when he heard about it, and said to his wife with a smile: "We have a mouthful!" I haven't tasted this food in years, and I've almost forgotten it! ”

Hu Shi also nodded again and again, unable to hide the smile on his face. The last time she ate this family's food was when her father took her to the elders' birthday banquet before his death, it was seventeen or eighteen years ago, when she was still a child......

The family happily looked forward to the dinner in the evening, and even Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian heard the news, and they also went to the courtyard outside the kitchen to wander around, and by the way, they smelled the aroma of the delicious food.

Cao Gengyun also felt sorry for Xie Wenzai: "I haven't come back after a day, I'm afraid I'm going to miss out on good things." The food in the Zhenguo Mansion is not very good. When Lao Xie came back and heard about it, he might regret it! ”

Lu Bainian smiled: "Where did it get to this point?" We have all returned to Chang'an, so it's a big deal to go to his restaurant to order food in the future. ”

Cao Gengyun waved his hand again and again: "I am reluctant to spend that silver." ”

Listening to the jokes of the two elders, Haitang had some doubts in her heart. Xie Wenzai went to the Zhenguo Mansion to help come up with ideas, why did he go for so long?

Could it be that Zhang Pinggui provided any important information in the future?

Just thinking about it, Haixi Cliff is back.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the aroma and couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that I ordered the dishes of this old restaurant today." What did my wife do with her? Such a big deal? ”

Haitang greeted him, and while taking the suitcase containing abacus stationery in his hand for his grandfather, he talked about the experience of going to Ma's house today: "Uncle and grandfather agreed to help, and his condition has improved greatly, and grandma is very happy." On the way home, she smelled the aroma of the dishes in that store, and Grandma immediately asked the big brother to order the dishes. ”

Hai Xiya smiled and nodded: "It's okay." I went to his store twice not long ago, and I thought about taking your grandma to go again, but I forgot about it because there were too many things in the yamen. Now your grandma has gone to order food, but the whole family has enjoyed it. ”

Begonia laughed dryly. In terms of oral blessings, who can compare with their grandfather? It seems that the old acquaintances have picked him up and washed the dust, and they have brought him a lot of good things to entertain him!

However, judging from the reactions of the grandfather and grandmother, the second uncle and his wife, and the two elders Cao Lu, the dishes of that time-honored brand seem to be very famous. Why haven't you heard my brother mention it before?

But when Haitang thought about it and remembered the price of that store, she understood what was going on.

In his previous life, Haijiao was a poor ghost, relying on odd jobs all the way to raise money for his return home. Where can he afford that kind of expensive food?

The Hai family had a delicious dinner today, and everyone was very satisfied.

Haitang tasted a few signature dishes of that time-honored brand, and felt that it really lived up to its reputation. It's the chef in the palace's imperial dining room, and the level of making these dishes is only like that, maybe the taste is not as authentic as this one!

It's a pity that the reef hasn't returned home yet, and I haven't been able to taste such a delicacy for the first time. However, grandmother Ma felt sorry for her grandson, and had specially ordered someone to leave him vegetables, but it would not be missing his share.

The reef returned home just before the curfew, looking exhausted.

Begonia drove him to wash first, then led his horse to settle down, and then ran to the kitchen, and brought his supper to the house.

Haijiao washed his face, changed his clothes, soaked his feet warmly, and looked back at the sumptuous dinner, and was immediately surprised: "Is there anything good today?" How do you eat so well? ”

Haitang briefly told him about the experience of going to Ma's house in the afternoon, opened the food box for him, and laid out the chopsticks: "It tastes very good, I heard that grandpa and grandma and second uncle used to like it very much, brother, you can also taste it." It's a pity that it's not fresh enough, and it is estimated that the taste will be slightly reduced. ”

After tasting the reef, I couldn't help but sigh: "This is the taste!" If it's fresh, I'm not used to it. ”

Haitang blinked: "Brother has tasted this family's dishes?" This was a bit unexpected, "Is it someone you knew from your previous life?" ”

Hai Jiao smiled: "Who would be so generous to the people I knew at that time and would spend a dozen taels of silver to invite me to eat in a restaurant?" If it was a feast, it would be impossible for me to taste the dishes that were not fresh. In my previous life, I used to do odd jobs at that restaurant, doing odd jobs in the back kitchen, and at night, I could occasionally taste the leftovers of the guests. It was a rare delicacy for me at the time. I also thought that it would be nice to learn how to cook. It's a pity that I don't have that talent, and other masters don't look down on me at all. ”

Haitang couldn't help but be silent, didn't say anything, just silently gave her brother a dish. Although the dishes on the table today are not freshly cooked, they are not leftovers eaten by others, but leftovers that my grandmother specially ordered to be set aside for my brother in advance, and the leftovers he tasted in his previous life are naturally not the same.

The reef doesn't feel sad. He tasted this long-lost delicacy with some nostalgia, and after eating and drinking, he stuffed the cups, plates, chopsticks and chopsticks into the food box, drank a sip of hot tea, and began to talk to his sister about today's experience.

He went to find Huang Zhutou first in the morning, and learned that the latter had found the two girls who had been sold by the Du family.

Sure enough, as they expected, this Ya Po privately accepted the money of the two girls' relatives, and claimed on the surface that she had sold the person to a Jiangnan merchant passing through Chang'an, but in fact quietly sent the person to a village on the outskirts of the city. The people of the tooth shop rented a courtyard on the Zhuangzi to house the country girl and daughter-in-law they bought. They would teach them a little bit of skill and rules, and then they would clean up the people and bring them into the city to meet the buyers, in order to sell them for a better price.

At present, Du Boqin has not returned to the health center to handle official business, but stays at home in Chang'an City to deal with the inquiries of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Dusi. The subordinates of the Du family did not dare to act rashly, for fear that he would notice his small movements. The grandfather of one of the girls couldn't leave, so he quietly informed the daughter who was married outside, and asked the daughter and son-in-law to take care of the two girls in the village where Ya Po settled, so as not to make trouble for Ya Po, collect the money and sell the people again. Huang Zhutou arrived in time, just in time to meet the couple and the two girls, who had secretly taken them back to the city to settle down. It's just that they don't dare to speak for the time being, and they need to grind Huang Zhutou slowly.

However, both girls looked very sad and angry. Judging from what they leaked, the concubine of the Du family was afraid that she did not break it voluntarily. She didn't know anything, Du Boqin closed the door and didn't know what to say to her, and after he left, she cried a lot, told the girls something, and then kicked the people out of the house and hanged herself.

At the moment, the two girls didn't dare to say much in front of the people in the prefect's yamen. Du Boqin is in a high position, they don't dare to offend, they just hope to inform the young master in Beijing of their aunt's death as soon as possible, so that the young master can rush back to mourn......

Haitang blinked when he heard this: "That son of the Du family...... What kind of people are they? ”
