Chapter 19: Notices
The next day, niche restaurants were open as usual.
It's just that there are two missing figures in the store, and only Wu's father is lying alone on the rocking chair next to the counter, squinting and enjoying the tranquility of the early morning with a comfortable face.
And Lin Yu and Wu Qian set off to the mountains and forests outside the city to hide game ingredients when the sun was rising this morning.
It's something they do every half month or two in the store.
Because many of the ingredients in their store, if you buy them directly in the city, they are not only too expensive, but also do not have the umami taste that is native to nature.
The skillful use of ingredients is the specialty of their store, and it is precisely because of this that they can cook the characteristic flavor that is different from others, and they can be in this fiercely competitive Mocheng, where they have been operating steadily for more than 20 years.
It's just that in the past fifteen years since Wu's father took in Lin Yu, Wu Qian has never followed to find game ingredients.
After all, to find ingredients, you need to go to the mountains and forests outside the city, and those in the wild barren mountains and mountains have to trek through mountains and rivers.
Yes, looking back, it was Wu's father who took Lin Yu to go, and Wu Qian stayed to watch the store.
And today, Wu Qian seemed to have changed her temper after a night, clamoring to follow them.
But the store always has to be watched, Lin Yu has learned a lot from Wu's father in the past fifteen years about where there are game ingredients in the mountains and how to identify edible ingredients.
So Wu's father asked Lin Yu to take Wu Qian with him, and he was happy to be idle and looked at the storefront.
About an hour has passed since Lin Yu and Wu Qian went out, and there are only three or two people in the store eating breakfast at this time, and these people are all regular customers.
After saying hello to Wu's father, he talked and chatted on his own.
It's just that these people usually talk about some homely or gossip around them, and Father Wu doesn't like to talk about these topics by nature, so he didn't get involved.
Just as Wu's father was about to fall asleep with his eyes half-squinted, he heard them discussing the new notice posted in the city of Mocheng this morning.
"A new sign was posted in town this morning?"
Hearing this, Father Wu was interested.
Father Wu thought to himself that after settling in Mocheng for more than 20 years, Mocheng would not post a public announcement unless there was something important.
And this morning, a new notice was suddenly posted, could it be that something big has happened in the city of Mozambique recently?
This old Li Tou, who spoke just now, is usually not a casual person who speaks casually and does not speak at the limit.
Eighty percent of this announcement was more exciting news, and Father Wu's heart moved, and he began to listen attentively to their conversation.
I only heard that on the table on the right side of the store door, there was a man with a beard (this person was the old Li Tou that Wu's father said).
The old men with pointed ears and cheeks sitting in front of him said as they talked to each other.
"I received a rumor before, saying that Mo Shu, the city lord of Mo City, is preparing to hold a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and invite heroes from all walks of life, and if you get the crown, you can marry Mo Ruolan, the daughter of Mo Shu, the city lord of Mo City.
If it weren't for the announcement posted by the city lord's mansion today, I would have thought that this was gossip from somewhere, and the drunken nonsense of the little guy in the ball. ”
"Notices have been posted in the city, and it can't be wrong, it can't be wrong. ”
The old man with the sharp-eared monkey's gills put two or three peanuts in his mouth, smashing them and eating them, chewing them.
Suddenly, something seemed to come to his mind, and a smile appeared on his face that looked a little obscene.
said: "Hehe, when the city lord's daughter passed by in a carriage before, I was fortunate to see it, but I still can't forget that glance, the city lord's daughter Mo Ruolan is really the best in the world." ”
As he spoke, he took a sip of wine and continued: "If I can be lucky enough to marry home, I am willing to shorten my life span of more than ten years." ”
"Go, go, go, how many drinks have you had now?
Old Li Tou waved his hand at him.
"With your appearance, I'm afraid that even if you just marry home, you will die overnight, and I'm afraid you won't be so blessed. ”
Lao Li Tou joked with him: "But you look at it, as soon as the news of the content stated in the notice in the city comes out, I'm afraid that in a few days, our Mo City will be in the wind." ”
"It's the storm. ”
The old man with the sharp-eared monkey cheeks glanced at him with disdain and said, "If you don't have that culture, don't show it off anywhere." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the storm. ”
Lao Li's cheeks were red, and he scratched his head with his hand a little embarrassed, and said.
"Didn't I read a book when I was a kid and had no education? ”
However, look at this old Li Tou man, not only has he never read books and is uneducated, but he also doesn't seem to have a good memory.
As soon as he finished speaking, he forgot what he was going to say, so he had to giggle again and ask the old man with the pointed ears and cheeks.
"That's... What did I just say?"
"Oh, you said you're a person, why do you have no memory so much?"
The old man with the sharp-eared monkey cheeks glanced at Lao Li Tou speechlessly, and said, "What did you say just now? Right... It's our Meo City, and it's going to be stormy. ”
Lao Li Tou looked at him drunk, with a look of disdain, and he didn't think much of it in the face of his complaints.
The old man with the sharp-eared monkey's cheeks said where he had spoken, patted his forehead, pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and continued happily.
said: "Yes, that's it, I dare to pack a ticket, when the time comes, our Mocheng, which is guarding the edge of the Qin State, will definitely be turbulent, and heroes from all walks of life, and the children of official eunuchs, will fight to rush here!"
When Father Wu heard this, he was also full of surprise, he was wondering what the city lord of Mo City was thinking?
His daughter looks so beautiful like a fairy, and she is the lord of a city, why can't she get married?
And he is engaged in this martial arts blind date, and when the time comes, heroes and gangsters from all walks of life will gather together.
If the winner is the right way, the talent is fine.
But if one has no power, two has no power, and the third looks mediocre, and he doesn't like to push it off when the time comes, isn't it ridiculous and generous?
Father Wu thought to himself, if Mo Shu, the city lord of Mo City, wants to make such a play, he must not be stupid as the lord of a city, he must naturally have his intentions.
It's just that what this intention is and what it is plotting is naturally not something that I, the common people, can worry about.
Father Wu laughed at himself and thought about it, as this martial arts blind date meeting approached.
When the time comes, Meaux will be overcrowded, and there should be more customers, so it seems that I am afraid that I will be busy for a while.
When Xiaoyu and Xiaoqian come back, I have to tell them about it, and let them go out into the mountains and forests more often in the next few days to find more ingredients in case of emergency.
Thinking of this, Father Wu smiled happily, and his mind was full of people coming and going in the store, and business was booming, and he couldn't get busy.
The two people in the store continued to talk loudly, and Father Wu, who no longer paid attention to their words, fell asleep with a full head of thoughts in this short moment.
The bamboo chair rocks the fan, the sun is shining in the early morning, and it looks like a good enjoyment.
