Three years ago, the nameless small county

The name of the restaurant is very interesting, it is called bulging belly, which means simple and rude, and it is full.

The space of the second-floor private room brought into by Xiao Er is not large, the east and west sides of the house are slightly longer and the north and south sides are a little narrow, there is an unknown calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, and a blue porcelain vase stands in the corner.

When Lao Niu entered the house, Ma Ye was already sitting in the east position, holding his head, waiting for him boredly.

While drinking the tea sent by Xiao Er, Ma Ye didn't speak.

The old cow straightened the burden in front of him and sat down. He didn't drink tea, but looked at the furnishings in the private room as if he had not yet done so, and inadvertently swept the people across from him with his afterglow, and no one knew what he was thinking.

This quiet atmosphere did not last long.

The door was opened.

Xiao Er put the dishes on the table one after another.

There are not many dishes, there are four dishes and one soup.

This is the food specification that Taizu, who was famous for his diligence and thrift, began to advocate after the founding of the dynasty.

Three side dishes are arranged, and a small charcoal stove is placed in the middle of a bowl of vegetable soup. On top of it was a small pot that was smoking and making a constant gurgling sound.

"Guest, this fat and thin pork slices have been fried in advance, then soy sauce and chili peppers are added, and then water is added and simmered for half an hour, until the soup is yellow, and finally served with tender tofu and fungus before serving. ”

Xiao Er was introducing the dishes, and Ma Ye looked very interested, nodding from time to time. The old cow on the other side swallowed saliva from time to time, and it seemed that he was very hard.

Seeing that the guest officer did not interrupt his introduction, Xiao Er continued, raising his hand as he spoke,

"This is a seasonal yellow croaker, fried and then put in garlic sprouts, supplemented by a stock and steamed over low heat.

The remaining two dishes are our specialties here.

This is the sausage.

After the mutton bones are stewed, take out the pith and mix it with mutton fat, stuff it into the beef intestines, drizzle it with hot oil, and cut it into small pieces.

The last dish is a seasonal vegetable, chicken pith shoots.

Blanch the bamboo shoots in boiling water, stir-fry them in clear oil, stew the cooked chicken thighs, remove the meat, leave the marrow, supplemented by spices, and place them in the middle to make a garnish.

The soup is white siad soup, and some chicken fat is ordered to enhance the flavor.

Guest officer, the dishes are all ready, use it slowly. ”

Xiao Er finished introducing the dishes with a smile on his face, raised his hand and arched towards the two, closed the door again, and left.

Nodding, Ma Ye looked at the old cow who was rolling his Adam's apple over there, and asked with interest

"What do you usually eat when you have money?

Don't say it yet!

I guess, it's roast chicken, sauce meat?"

The meaning of ridicule in his words was very strong, and Ma Ye's eyes were full of banter.

Lao Niu's eyes never left the dishes on the table, and after hearing Ma Ye's words, he nodded in a trance and did not argue.

Ha ha!

Looking at him like that, Ma Ye couldn't help laughing, shook his head slightly, lifted the chopsticks, found a piece of fat under his abdomen, sandwiched the chopsticks yellow croaker meat, dipped the soup around him, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The old cow on the opposite side has been patient for a long time, and when he saw that the master moved the chopsticks, he immediately stopped waiting, grabbed the chopsticks on the table, stood up and went forward.

The dishes are placed in the middle of the table, at a distance from the positions of the two people.

To be the master of the east, eat slowly and logically. With a flick of your wrist, drain the soup, then serve the dish in a bowl and eat in small bites.

The old cow on the other side is not so particular, and the speed of picking vegetables is fast, one at a time, and a whole bowl is filled. As if someone was robbing him, the table in front of him was a mess with the soup, and the whole person was about to get into the bowl.

Ma Ye looked at the person opposite and couldn't help but lose his appetite. After a hasty two-bite meal, I put down the chopsticks, picked up the teacup, and looked out at the street scene through the wooden window around me.

"Master Ma, Master Ma!

Get out of the way, get out of the way, ......!"

A whirring and shouting sound broke into their lunchtime, and a hurried knock on the door sounded from outside the private room.

"Guest, be quieter!" Xiao Er's voice outside the house sounded a little anxious, and he was trying his best to appease the emotionally uncontrollable master.

"Get out! I want to see Ma Ye today!" A ding-dong sound sounded, and the man made a move, pushing Xiao Er who was blocking him away, looking at the posture, he was about to break in.

"Let him in. ”

Turning around, Ma Ye put down the teacup, stood up, and gave a faint command to the door.

The door opened again, and Xiao Er opened the door while holding the little felt hat on his head, sideways to make way for the guest.

"Where's my money?

The person who came was violent, his eyes were red, and the green tendons on his neck were constantly beating, and he shouted loudly when he entered the door.

"How much is it?" took his little thumb and plucked his ears and blew on his mouth, Ma Ye was not in a hurry at all, and replied absentmindedly.

"Three taels of silver, three cents of profit!

This sentence just suppressed Ma Ye's words, and he popped out, it seems that this person has been thinking about it for a long time and came prepared.

After the old cow was interrupted from eating, he stopped his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and squinted at the two people facing each other, he was a little confused by this meeting.

But there is one thing he heard, Ma Ye owes this person money.

Ma Ye, who was mysterious in his eyes just now, seemed to be a little different at this time.

There was suspicion in his eyes.

It was as if he saw Lao Niu's expression and saw through his thoughts.

Ma Ye, who hadn't spoken since the beginning, pulled the corners of his mouth unnoticedly and began to move.

After groping in his arms, Ma Ye took out a few ingots of silver, some large and some small, ranging from snowflake silver to broken silver, and it was constantly glowing silver at this time.

Seeing the things in Ma Ye's hand, the imposing person was stunned, as if he was suddenly deflated, he didn't speak, compared with the hustle and bustle outside the private room, the atmosphere in the private room at this time became quiet.

Ma Ye squinted his eyes and glanced at the silver ingot in his hand, and raised a finger to flip over the silver ingot in his hand.

Fingers stopped, Ma Ye picked the smallest one and looked at it, about four taels, and then like throwing a bedbug, he threw it at the person who asked for money.

Bending down and hurriedly taking the silver from the air, the man begging for money was full of excitement, and he bit his teeth against the silver uneasily, and in an instant, like the winter snow and spring, the look on the face of the person who took the money instantly changed from anger to happiness, and his face was full of shame one after another, and he continued to thank and apologize to Ma Ye.

I didn't expect the ending to be like this, sitting on the side, touching his belly, waiting to see the show The old cow was stunned at this time, his mouth slightly open, his eyes first couldn't believe it, and then it was ecstasy.

This is?

O nobleman!
