Volume 2 A New Beginning Chapter 20 A Restaurant with Characteristics!
Shirley was overjoyed when she heard that there was something delicious, clapped her hands and said, "Husband, you are the best!"
Bai Linglong said, "You girl, am I not good?"
"No, no...... Sister Linglong is good!"
"It's sweet in your mouth!"
Shirley smiled and hugged Bai Linglong's arm.
The Tieling carriage landed five hundred meters away from the city gate, and slowly advanced on the ground, and the number of people coming and going in this Tunbing Pond was obviously more, but fortunately, the inspection gate was opened three, and the speed was not very slow.
The three of them were not very anxious, while playing, while waiting for the inspection, the military discipline here was very strict, and they only responded to the inspection in accordance with the regulations, but they did not divide Xue Yutang and a few people too much, leaving the pass, the defenders of the city gate no longer did other inspections.
When the three of them entered the city, they could see what a predominantly military town looked like!
The walls of each house are all made of strip-shaped boulders more than one meter long, the windows are smaller than ordinary windows, the heavy wooden door in front of each house is tall and spacious, and there is a small door about one person in the lower right corner of the door for people to enter and exit.
The wide streets were paved with large ashlar stones, which were not polished like in other cities, but rather rough, and two ruts were pressed out of the boulders in parallel, apparently caused by years of driving.
There are huge urns in front of the shops on both sides, which are filled with water, and the whole city gives people the feeling of being rough, and the people in the city walk with the wind and breathing!
Xue Yutang felt that the architectural style of the entire city was to prepare for street battles, and the Western Xia Kingdom was established by war, but now it seems that it has its own uniqueness.
The three of them walked forward and saw a vermilion gate in front of them, and a huge banner was hung in front of the door, which read, Barracks Restaurant!
All the shops here have no plaques, and they all have a huge banner hanging at the door, and the storefronts on them are related to the barracks.
When the three of them entered the restaurant, the whole restaurant was like a canteen in the barracks, with rows of long wooden tables and wooden benches neatly placed!
The various spices and chopsticks on the table are all in a fixed position, placed in order, and the position is generally neat, rough tabletop, spotless, Xue Yutang and the three shouted: "Shop Xiaoer!"
"Here!" a loud and clear voice responded, Da, a man in armor, trotted to the three of them, his hands drooped, and his feet stood together: "Three guests, what do you need?"
Xue Yutang looked at the posture of the person, obviously he was professionally trained, and he was puzzled for a while, could it be that the clerks of these shops were all soldiers in this city, which was a bit incredible!
"Little brother, I want to ask, are you also a soldier?"
For Xue Yutang's curiosity, the shopkeeper was no longer surprised, and replied in a deep voice: "We are not soldiers, but we are reserve soldiers, ready to contribute to the Western Xia Kingdom at any time!
The clerks here answered the questions with sonorous force, and Xue Yutang finally understood why the Western Xia Kingdom was founded not long ago, and the national strength was average, but it made many opponents feel a headache!
Just look at the situation here, it is simply that the whole city is full of soldiers, once the main force is exhausted, these reserves can be on top at any time, compared to the Great Song Dynasty those abundant food and clothing, quiet and indifferent living conditions, the folk customs here are more strong, it is a place that is difficult to conquer.
"Then pick a few of your most distinctive dishes here!"
"Okay, but I see that there are not many of you, so I suggest that you don't have more than two plates at most!
Xue Yutang's curiosity grew: "Are you afraid that we won't pay?"
"Sorry, guests, I just suggested, after all, food is not easy to come by!"
"Your little two is so interesting! Other places want customers to order more, why do you want others to order less here?"
Shirley is a beautiful woman, her voice is beautiful and beautiful, the shopkeeper saw Shirley's eyes light up, but it was only for a moment, and she returned to her original appearance: "I'm sorry, I'm really for your good, after all, food is really hard to come by!"
Shirley was about to speak again, but Bai Linglong stopped and said, "Okay, let's listen to the shopkeeper! Just do what you said, just have two copies!"
The shopkeeper glanced at Xue Yutang in surprise, he really didn't understand, this person can only be regarded as a good man but definitely not a handsome man, why are these two women around him as beautiful as a fairy!
"Okay, guest, I wonder if you three of you will order some drinks?"
"Then come to your specialty bar!"
The shopkeeper nodded: "Good guest, we only have one kind of wine here, I don't know if the guest wants a jar?"
Xue Yutang was happy in his heart, just a drink, what you said was so lively!
"Okay, let's have a jar!"
"Okay, please wait!"
The shopkeeper turned around and walked step by step, Xue Yutang said in his heart: The control ability of this shopkeeper is too powerful, and seeing Bai Linglong and Shirley have only returned to normal in an instant!
After a while, the shopkeeper walked over with a large tray, put it on the table, and turned around and carried a jar of wine.
Xue Yutang looked at the big tray that took up half of the table, and looked at the second daughter who was covering her mouth and smiling with a big mouth.
There is half a roast sheep and half a fan of beef, and the meat is bubbling with oil, and it looks very appetizing, but this amount! Not to mention the three of them, even if there are three more, they may not be able to eat, and the half-human high wine jar, this is simply a water tank!
Xue Yutang had a bitter face: "Can this be returned?"
After a lot of hard work, the beef and mutton were eaten less than one-fifth, and the wine was even more negligible! The three of them were half-lying on the stool and touching their stomachs.
"Shopkeeper, check out!"
There was another sound of stamping and running: "Guest, you have a total tip of two hundred dollars! Do you pack the rest of the things? I suggest you pack them! Because this meat tastes better if it is roasted over a fire, and it seems that a few people are on the road, and it can also be used to satisfy hunger on the way!"
"Listen to people's advice to eat a full meal!
"Okay guest, please wait a moment! I'm going to pick up the items for packing!" The shopkeeper collected the money, turned around and went back, and after a while he was holding a bamboo basket with a lid, this bamboo basket was very beautiful, divided into three layers, each layer was covered with oiled paper, and the food would not spill a trace of soup on it, and the wine jar was also skillfully tied with a straw rope by the shopkeeper, leaving a handle, Xue Yutang was amazed by the exquisite bamboo basket here and the magical technique of the shopkeeper!
