Chapter 20: Memories of the Past (16)

The two of them were very happy when they reunited this time, and they wanted to talk while they were on the road, but there were constantly passers-by greeting Mu Beiting along the way.

And when these people saw Xun Dai'er beside him, they all stopped and looked sideways, guessing the identity of this woman in their hearts.

Mu Beiting didn't pay attention to these gazes, let alone explain, just smiled at everyone, and led Xun Dai'er to leave quickly.

Ningbo City is divided into two cities, the east city has many shops, the west city has many restaurants, and Mu Beiting is the most familiar city, which happens to be the west market.

He led Xun Daier through the streets and alleys, and soon came to a restaurant, and then raised his hand to point to the signboard hanging high at the main entrance of the restaurant, and introduced: "If you want to talk about Ningbo cuisine, it has to be the most authentic in this store." ”

Xun Daier looked along his fingers, and saw that the old gold-lettered signboard was written with the three big characters of "Baiyinglou" in Lishu penmanship, and the inscription on the side was due to the decay of the lacquer, and it was not possible to see all of them, but the unique word "Xuande" was clear.

After seeing these two words, Xun Daier couldn't help sticking out her tongue, turned to Xu Che and sighed: "I didn't expect this restaurant to be established for a hundred years, this is really rare!"

Mu Beiting gave a thumbs up and praised: "Dai'er is really good eyesight, let's go in and taste it." ”

The two of them stepped into the door, and they were greeted by the aroma of the dishes, followed by the sound of the cook's knives and spoons and the shouts of the men running the hall.

At this time, the guy in the building also greeted him, and when he saw that it was Mu Beiting, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Ouch! It turns out that Uncle Mu is here! But I haven't seen you for a long time... Ahh This beautiful woman is..."

Mu Beiting is a regular customer here, and he is also very familiar with the guy who is talking at the moment, but when he saw that this guy was stunned, he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and ordered: "All the dishes in the store are delivered, and the wine is not needed." By the way, the table where I usually sit is still empty?"

The man came back to his senses, and only thought in his heart: "Since ancient times, heroes and beauties are really true! The beauty of this woman's appearance is really the only time I have ever seen it in my life! Hehe, Mu Daxia is really a blessing!" But he replied: "It's empty, Mu Daxia's window seat is empty no matter when you come." Please go upstairs and sit down for a while, the meal will come soon!" After speaking, he glanced at Xun Daier a few more times, and finally turned around and shouted the name of the dish into the back kitchen.

Although Xun Dai'er didn't like this guy staring at her all the time, she had always had excellent self-cultivation, and she didn't show a look of disgust on her face at this time, so she turned around and followed Mu Beiting to the second floor.

On the second floor is the attic seat, and every table is in an isolated room, and Mu Beiting led Xun Dai'er all the way to the room at the top of the west. After sitting down, Mu Beiting poured a cup of tea for Xun Dai'er with a pot, and said with a smile: "Everyone is afraid that everyone is guessing where you are sacred at the moment." ”

Xun Dai'er's cheeks were slightly red, and she thought: "Everyone pays so much attention to me, it seems that the rumors are true, he really has never had a good woman." ”

Mu Beiting saw that Xun Dai'er was silent for a long time, thinking that she was shy, and hurriedly explained: "Everyone is just surprised that you are unparalleled, and there is nothing else to think about. ”

Xun Dai'er heard Mu Beiting praise her beauty, and she was very useful, but she asked with a smile: "Do you really have no other thoughts?"

Mu Beiting thought for a while, and then explained with a smile: "Yes, there are." I'm afraid they all think that you are with me, and there will inevitably be a flower planted in the cow... Suspicion on the head of the bull. ”

He originally wanted to say "flowers are inserted in cow dung", but after thinking about it, if he said that he was cow dung, wouldn't it be to defile Xun Dai'er, so he hurriedly changed his words to "cow head".

Xun Dai'er looked at the clumsy Mu Beiting in front of her, and was angry and funny in her heart, and said lightly: "Wooden cow, big wooden cow." ”

Mu Beiting raised his hand and scratched his head, just "hehe" smirked, but secretly thought: "As long as you like it, even if you really go to be a cow and a horse, I am willing." ”

The two were in love with each other, and they were about to say something about love, but unexpectedly, a person with a very bad scenery suddenly broke in at this time.

The person who came was the guy who ran the hall before, and I saw him approaching the table with a tray, and while putting the dishes on the table, he reported the name of the dish: "'Whole shrimp', 'Tiger skin whole duck', 'Steamed river eel', 'Caixi yellow croaker'..."

Hearing him report the name of the dish, Xun Daier listened attentively, and found that there were a few dishes that she had eaten, but they were not authentic after all.

After the guy finished reporting the name of the last dish, he bowed to Mu Beiting and Xun Dai'er, and said, "You two use it slowly, you can only call the small ones if you have something!" After finishing speaking, he retreated sideways.

Mu Beiting looked at the table full of dishes, and then looked at Xun Dai'er who was sitting opposite, and thought: "Hey, this scene at the moment can be regarded as the best interpretation of the word 'beautiful and delicious'!"

Xun Dai'er only looked at the dishes on the table, but she didn't notice Mu Beiting's strange eyes at the moment, and after a while, she asked softly, "Can I start moving chopsticks?"

Mu Beiting came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "You try this first!" As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of fish meat in the bowl in front of her, but before she could use the chopsticks to taste it, he picked up another dish and sent it over, and so on several times, but after a while, Xun Dai'er's bowl was already piled up.

She raised her eyes and glared at Mu Beiting, and said angrily, "Can I eat so much?"

Mu Beiting reacted at this time, and also found that his actions were real, stupid, and embarrassed for a while, and the chopsticks that were still holding the dishes stopped in mid-air, and immediately sneered: "I... I didn't think you had a hard journey and should eat more, so so..."

Xun Dai'er interrupted: "Then you can't eat so much at once." Speaking of this, the conversation suddenly changed, and he said: "I once heard Uncle Yu say that the snacks of Ningbo City God Temple are also a must, and you have to take me to taste it." ”

Mu Beiting said with a full mouth: "That's natural, I will accompany you wherever you want to go." But I thought in my heart: "She came to look for me this time, but I am afraid that she did it behind her parents' back, and I don't know what happened in the middle, so I need to ask first." So he asked, "Dai'er, you came to Ningbo this time, your family... You know what?"

When Xun Dai'er heard this, her color changed suddenly, and the chopsticks in her hand slowly put down, and the whole person suddenly became melancholy.

Mu Beiting's heart froze, and he hurriedly asked, "Dai'er, what happened?"

Xun Dai'er avoided Mu Beiting's burning gaze, slowly lowered her head, and then bit her lips lightly, as if she hesitated, but after a while, she raised her head again and said in a low voice: "I know the doubts in your heart, so I'll start from the night you left." ”

Mu Beiting nodded in favor again and again, and at the same time leaned forward and listened.
