Chapter 145: Xiao Family Wonton

When Peng Zhang heard this, a shadow fell on his eyes.

"Xishi is certainly a good place, but I just rented a house in Chongrenfang, and the rent was paid for half a year in one go. Now, if you go to the West Market to do things, it will be too hard to run at both ends all day long. It's too much trouble to quit the lease. In that case, let's forget it! Let's take a look at other nearby houses. He dropped the words, saluted them, and hurried away.

Seeing that the person was gone, Cui Pu couldn't help but sneer. "Sure enough, he is a low-eyed person. ”

Huang Peiyuan also sighed: "This Lang Jun's medical skills are really good, but it's a pity that he has a heart of quick success, and he just came to Chang'an City and wanted to climb the high branches once and for all, but how can there be such an easy thing in the world? Originally, I thought that if he was willing, I would pay a lot of money to hire him to work in my family's medicine hall! As a result, who knew that he even refused the Mu family's medicine hall, and it is even more impossible to think of our Huang family. It's a shame that I didn't mention this to him, otherwise I'm afraid I'll lose face again!"

Cui Pu nodded. I looked back at Mu Jiaojiao, but found that she was staring out blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

He couldn't help but sink slightly, and walked slowly to her. "What are you looking at?"

Mu Jiaojiao immediately came back to her senses. "Nothing. I just thought that this person had good medical skills, but he refused to be down-to-earth, going up step by step, and had to take shortcuts. It would be good if he could really find a high branch for him to climb, but if he couldn't find it, his medical skills would be too wasteful!" As she spoke, she seemed to ask Huang Peiyuan casually, "Uncle Huang, you said that if he finally recognized the reality and was willing to start over and ask you for a place, would you take him in regardless of his previous suspicions?"

"Just for his good medical skills, as long as he is willing to come, I will definitely open the door to greet him!" Huang Peiyuan said with a smile.

Mu Jiaojiao also curled the corners of her lips. "Yes. Such a talent, anyone will want to hold him firmly in the palm of their hands. It's just that who can guarantee that he will always be able to hold him firmly?"

"What did you say?" Her voice was too low for Huang Peiyuan to hear clearly.

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly raised her voice. "I mean, with a little luck in his ability, there shouldn't be a chance to eat the grass back. Uncle Huang, it's better not to have too many extravagant hopes. ”

"I know this in my heart, and I don't have any extravagant hopes, but now I'm just joking with you. Huang Peiyuan laughed and immediately changed the topic, "Okay, it's almost seen here, why don't we go to Xishi now?"

"Then go ahead!" Cui Pu bowed.

The Baicao Hall on the West Market has a much larger area than the one on Suzaku Street, but the decoration inside is much more down-to-earth. The shop had already hired three sitting doctors, and when they passed, it was noon, and there were still many people who came to see the doctor and get medicine, and at least half of them came for the medicine developed by Mu Jiaojiao.

It can be said that although the high-level road has just opened an opening, the civil route below has been completely opened.

Mu Jiaojiao is quite satisfied with this situation. I went back and looked at the accounts again, and were sure that Huang Peiyuan had done the accounts clearly, so they didn't stay here for long.

Huang Peiyuan wanted to invite them to dine together, but Cui Pu refused, so Huang Peiyuan didn't ask for anything more and said goodbye to them happily. Cui Pu turned around and helped Mu Jiaojiao to get into the carriage, and said to the coachman: "Go back to Zhuque Street and go to Xiao's wontons." ”

"All right!" said the coachman, who immediately flicked his whip and urged the horse to march slowly.

The West Market is still a short distance away from Suzaku Street. Taking advantage of this time, Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao had a short conversation:

"That Peng Zhang today, do you know him?"

Last time I saw him in the Mu's Baicao Hall in Chongrenfang, he cured an old man's fever with a prescription. Mu Jiaojiao said, "Originally, if he didn't make a move, I would have to make a move." ”

"You know that's not what I'm talking about. Cui Pu sank his face.

Mu Jiaojiao blinked. "And what do you mean?"

"You still pretend to be stupid for me! The way that guy treated Huang Peiyuan today, the way he spoke, didn't you feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity after seeing it?" Cui Pu asked.

"What's wrong with that? Doctors treat patients in the same way, but there is a slight deviation in personal habits. ”

"You're still pretending!" Cui Pu was angry, "Okay, I won't go around the bend with you." Haven't you noticed that the way that guy can tell a person's illness by looking at his face, and the way he speaks in a categorical way, is almost exactly the same as yours?"

"It seems so!" Mu Jiaojiao thought about and nodded, "but so what? Do you think we have any connection because we have these similarities?"

"Isn't it?" Cui Pu asked through gritted teeth.

Mu Jiaojiao shook her head helplessly. "You also heard his words, he has been in the mountains before, and now he has just come out of the mountain, and now he has come to Chang'an to make a living. If he really had something to do with the Mu family, why didn't he go directly to the Mu family? Relying on the Mu family's relationship in Chang'an City, it would not be easy for him to find a good place to make a living? Why did he bother to run the business by himself, and he had not settled down until now?"

That's right. So, they really didn't have anything to do with each other, but thinking about the man's actions today, why did he find it so strange?

Cui Pu's brows furrowed. "Do you think he could be someone from your deceased mother's house?"

"You're thinking too much. Mu Jiaojiao covered her lips and smiled lowly, "There are thousands of coincidences in this world, and even people who look exactly the same are not nothing." Now I have only one or two similarities with him in behavior, why did you even pull out my deceased aunt? If you want me to say, there is only one reason why we have these similarities, and that is - we are both extremely confident in our medical skills!"

In the end, she began to boast about herself again.

The corners of Cui Pu's eyes twitched. "Forget it, you said it didn't matter, I'll just treat it as if it was okay between you. We're not going to talk about it anymore, okay?"

"Since it's what you mean, Lang Jun, of course the concubine has to obey. Mu Jiaojiao smiled softly and changed the topic obediently, "So now, where are you going to take me, Lang Jun?"

"You'll find out when you get there. Cui Pu winked at her.

The carriage finally came to a slow stop after about a cup of tea. "Lang Jun, lady, the place has arrived. ”

Hongdou and Xiao Si'er hurriedly jumped out of the car and lifted the curtain. Cui Pu went down first, and then Mu Jiaojiao next, then pointed to a small flag fluttering in the wind in front of him and said, "Now you know where we are, right?"

There are four big characters written on the small flag - Xiaojia wontons. Mu Jiaojiao understood: "Are you going to invite me to lunch here?"

"I'm in for a treat, and you pay the bill. Cui Pu said unashamedly. After going through it a few times, he is no longer so reluctant to spend women's money. What's more, Mu Jiaojiao has never minded this matter, and she still has so much money on hand!

Mu Jiaojiao smiled lowly when she heard this. "Well, I'll pay the bill. But you'll have to get me some delicious food today. If it doesn't suit my appetite, I won't pay for it. ”

"You just put a hundred hearts, the food in the Xiao family's wontons, it is famous in the whole Chang'an City, and no one will eat it or say it's good!" Cui Pu said with a determined face.

The two of them talked, walking inside. Soon a tea doctor came up to greet him. When he saw Cui Pu, he immediately smiled: "Cui Liulangjun, you are here! Hurry up, please, your usual private room is still empty, do you still want to go and sit there?"

Cui Pu nodded, and Dr. Tea led them up to the second floor and into a fairly spacious private room by the street.

The two of them sat down, and Dr. Tea personally brought two cups of hot tea and two refreshments, and then asked, "I wonder what you two want to use today?"

"There are too many of them, we can't finish them, you can have two bowls of wontons, one meat and one vegetable. Then we will give our maid and the coachman a bowl of it. Cui Pu waved his hand.

Dr. Tea hurriedly agreed. "Wait, two bowls of wontons, they'll be there soon!"

With the last word of the mouth, his people were already outside the door.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the surrounding environment, and this private room was quite elegant and comfortable. And looking at Cui Pu's familiar appearance, she smiled and asked, "You often come to this place?"

"That's nature. In this Chang'an City, where are I not a frequent visitor to all the places where there is food and fun?" Cui Pu said triumphantly, picked up the tea and took a bite, "You can also taste his tea, this is brewed with the soup of the Xiao family's wontons, only here can be eaten, nowhere else!"

She did know that the people of the Tang Dynasty loved to use the wonton soup of the Xiao family to make tea, and even the women of the Mu family had cooked it a few times, but it was a pity that these heavy tea soups with a lot of messy messes did not suit her appetite, and Mu Jiaojiao just touched her lips and put it down.

"You said you were a regular visitor here, but I remember that you only paid that much a month every month......

Can she stop poking at his sad place? Cui Pu put down the cup in hatred. "I don't have much money a month, but I can't come out a few times a month! And every time I get together with Lu Jiu and them, I'm not the only one who spends money, everyone takes turns! So although the money is less, it is barely enough to save one province. ”

"Then at the end of the month, when you come here to eat again, will you have to sit in the lobby below?" asked Mu Jiaojiao curiously.

Cui Pu looked at her coldly. "Can you stop asking so many irrelevant questions?"

"Since it has something to do with you, it's not a matter that has nothing to do with me. Mu Jiaojiao smiled, "What's more, have you forgotten who the person who spent the money today is?"

It's you, okay?

Under the eaves, Cui Pu had to bow his head. "At the end of the month, when we had no money, we really wanted to eat this wonton, so we naturally had to sit down. But it's not a shameful thing, it's not just a few of us who do this, and the Lang Jun of the other families are the same!"

"If you don't think it's a shame, then why do you have to hide it?" Mu Jiaojiao only asked.

That's because he felt embarrassed in front of her, though he didn't understand why.

Cui Pu gritted his teeth. "Those are in the past. Anyway, now that I'm rich, if I come here again in the future, I won't have to sit down and be laughed at again, huh!"

"That's right, you can spend the money you earn, you can spend it however you want, just remember to hand over some to the public treasury every month. Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly responded and stopped stimulating him.

"Do you still need you to teach me?" Cui Pubai glanced at her and continued to bow her head to eat tea.

Halfway through a cup of tea, Dr. Tea came with two bowls of fragrant wontons.

Xiao's wontons are quite famous in Chang'an City, and Mu Jiaojiao has eaten them a few times before, but Mu You went out to pack them for her and bring them back. It's the first time I've eaten ready-made food in a restaurant like this.

Freshly baked wontons are served on the table, the soup is clear, and there are about 20 small and cute wontons tumbling inside, and a few green chives are dotted on top, which is tempting in color and makes people appetite for a while.

When you scoop up a wonton, you can see that the wonton skin is so thin that it is almost transparent, and you can see the filling clearly from the outside. When you bite into it, the soft and elastic skin breaks between your lips and teeth, and a little soup flows out of it, and the elegant fragrance overflows your mouth, which arouses your appetite even more.

Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but eat three times in a row before stopping.

Seeing this, Cui Pu became more and more proud. "How's it going, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious. The fresh ones are fresher and more fragrant than the ones that are packed and brought home. Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

Cui Pu was suddenly so proud that he had a great appetite for a while, and after a while, he ate a bowl of wontons. Although Mu Jiaojiao thinks that the wontons taste good, she will definitely not be able to finish the huge bowl of wontons. However, after eating a small half, the remaining half still went into Cui Pu's stomach.

The two of them were full of food, but they were not in a hurry to leave, but leaned against the window and talked, while watching the people coming and going through the window.

It's rare to come out once, and they don't want to go back so soon.

As he spoke, there was a sudden commotion from below. Mu Jiaojiao raised her eyes and saw several richly dressed young men straddling horses in the distance, the whips in their hands snapping, and galloping towards this side.

Fresh clothes and angry horses, wanton and amorous.

The galloping horses swept away the pedestrians in the street, causing a burst of screams. Seeing this, the young man laughed out loud.

Cui Pu frowned when he saw this. "It's really unlucky, how did you meet them?"

"Who are they?" asked Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly.

"Shouwang Li Qing, and his entourage. ”

"It turned out to be him!" Mu Jiaojiao whispered in surprise. Isn't this the green hat prince who was robbed of his daughter-in-law by his father, and his daughter-in-law was also named a concubine, and the later longevity king Li Mao?

This legendary tragic figure was unexpectedly met by her when she was a teenager.
