On this day, the weather in Bianzhou City was exceptionally sunny.

On the path outside the city pass, there were two green shadows, one deep and one shallow, leading the horse slowly and walked in. The man in the dark blue robe kept a hundred-folded fan in his hand, and there was a slight smile in his picturesque eyebrows, and although his steps were walking in the direction of the city, he was always a beat slower than the person next to him.

And the one with light cyan and long hair half-bundled was a girl with a sword. The girl's steps were much more steady than they had been a few months ago, and her eyes were bright, but if you looked at her closer, you could see that there seemed to be a look of worry hidden between her brows.

That's right, these two are the heroine Qiye and the storyteller Meng Yunsheng who came from the Jingshui area.

Bianzhou is close to Chang'an, belongs to the belly of the Central Plains, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and are very rich. The shops and stalls on both sides of the market in the center of the city are dazzling, which is very northland-style, and the scenery is different from what I saw in Shangdu and Jingshui before.

Qi Ye is a girl after all, greedy and lively, and pulls Meng Yunsheng to walk around the market for a while. It wasn't until their legs were sore and their mouths were dry that they found a tea shop to drink tea and rest, and let the two horses settle down to drink.

"Come on! Bianzhou big bowl of tea, sweet and moist, not good to drink and no money!" The guy from the tea shop came with a high tray and shouted, flexibly put two full large bowls on the table, and said happily, "Two guest officers, please use it slowly." ”

Qi Ye was already in a trance as soon as she heard the sound, and when she first saw the appearance of the guy in the tea shop with a white towel on his shoulder, it instantly reminded her of a person. It wasn't until the big bowl of tea fell in front of her that she came back to her senses and shook her head and sighed and thought, that person is the only person in the world, how can he compare with others.

She shook her head, picked up the big bowl of tea on the table and drank it all, and after putting down the bowl, she really sighed, and said to the person next to her with a happy expression: "Meng Yunsheng, I haven't drunk tea so happily! ”

"Isn't it just a big bowl of tea?" Meng Yunsheng listened, shaking the folding fan for a while, "Seven girls, along the way, don't you always want to taste the most famous peanut cake in Bianzhou, why don't you put some pastries on the tea now?"

"Well, my stomach is hungry too. Qi Ye's eyes lit up, put the saber on the table, and waved at the guy in the tea shop, "Man, please get some peanut cakes!"

As soon as he didn't want to say this, the guy from the tea shop ran up upside down, and said to the two of them with an embarrassed face: "I'm sorry, guest officer, the refreshments in our store include hemp cakes, almond cakes and water chestnut cakes, but we don't sell peanut cakes." Why don't you change the two?"

"Don't you sell peanut cakes?" Qi Yeqi said, "Aren't big bowls of tea and peanut cakes all the specialties of Bianzhou?

"It's because it's a specialty that I don't dare to sell it easily. ”

The guy pointed to the "tea" flag fluttering under the eaves, "We are a tea shop, and the craftsmanship of the tea master has been passed down from generation to generation, so that big bowl of tea can be sold fragrantly." But the ability to make pastries is not as good as those of orthodox pastry shops. Since you can't do it well, you just don't do it, so as not to smash the signboard of Bianzhou. ”

He said it very pertinently, and Qi Ye nodded again and again when he heard it, but he couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he thought that his wish was disappointed, "It's a pity that such a good tea can't be paired with a piece of peanut cake." ”

"If the guest officer wants to eat peanut cake, why don't you go to Liang Kee Pastry Shop. ”

When the man saw that the two guests in front of him were looking at him curiously, he asked tentatively: "This is the first time the two guests have come to Bianzhou, right? The best peanut cake we have here is Liang Ji Pastry, which is a century-old shop, and the craftsmanship of making peanut cakes is unique! Everyone in Bianzhou City knows and knows about it." ”

The more he spoke, the more energetic he became, and his expression seemed to be reminiscing about the sweetness of Liang Kee peanut cake.

Meng Yunsheng said: "Dare to ask the little brother, where can I buy Liang Ji pastry?"

"You can buy it in the markets of the south, east and west. However, the closest Liang Kee pastry shop to the tea shop is still in Beishi. ”

"Thank you very much!"

Qi Ye stood up "Teng", picked up the long sword on the table, and said excitedly, "Let's go, Meng Yunsheng, let's go to Beishi!"

As soon as Qi Ye and Meng Yunsheng arrived in Beishi, they saw a rather magnificent shop standing in the most conspicuous position of the market, and the plaque on the top was written with five words "Liang Ji Pastry Shop" with a gold pen.

There are a variety of confectionery and sweets on the outside, all of which exude an attractive fragrance.

"Shopkeeper, we buy peanut cakes. ”

"No more. The middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body sitting behind the account desk glanced at the visitor and said while munching on melon seeds.

Qi Ye was stunned, "No...... What does that mean?"

"If you don't have it, it's sold out. The fat man lifted Erlang's legs, and this time he didn't even bother to raise his head, "No way, business is too good." ”

Qiye was instantly deflated and drooped his head.

Meng Yunsheng said to her, "Why don't you go and see Liang Ji in other markets?"

"It's all the same. Before anyone could answer, the fat man's voice came in behind the account. He spat out a melon seed shell and looked up at the sky outside the window.

"It's all this time, and the peanut cake has long been sold out. If you want to eat, you can only wait for tomorrow to come early in the morning and queue up!"

The sunset will set on the West Mountain, and the sky outside is illuminated in red and yellow, which is extremely brilliant, and the small merchants and vendors in the north market also have the intention of closing their stalls and returning home. After walking out of the Liang Ji pastry shop, Qi Yetuan frowned and was always a little unwilling.

Meng Yunsheng was looking at her face as he walked, and suddenly put away the hundred-fold fan, and one hand was about to reach over but returned the same way and opened the folding fan.

"It seems that it will be possible to eat Liang Kee's peanut cake early tomorrow, and today I don't have this mouthful. ”

Qi Ye nodded heavily, exhaled, clenched his fists and made up his mind: "I must get up early tomorrow, I don't believe that I can't eat Liang Ji's peanut cake." ”

There was a burst of laughter beside her, and the folded fan fell gently on top of her head, "You—" I heard only a faint pampering in that voice.

also walked for a while, looking at this hour, Qi Ye and Meng Yunsheng decided to find an inn to stay, wait for tomorrow to buy peanut cakes, and then ride horses to Chang'an.

I was looking around for a place to stay, when I suddenly heard a rough male voice in front of me.

"You're farting! My daughter-in-law is obedient! On weekdays, when I tell her to go east, she doesn't dare to go west, she can't fight back, she can't scold back, how dare she steal a man?

When the two of them heard the sound, they saw a stout rough man slapping his palm on the desk covered with yellow cloth, glaring angrily and aiming his fist at the face of the man dressed as a scholar.

"Eh, don't be angry!" the look-at-looking man pressed the rough man's fist as he spoke, staring straight at his flushed face, without the slightest fear, "Look at it, the problem is here, if you can't fight back or scold, it's easiest to steal a man." I see that you have a new mole under your eyebrows, have you just added a son? If so, you have to be careful! That son is the evil seed of the adulterer...... Eh, why did you hit me in the face......"

Bang –

The rough man's fist slammed into that face.

"Dead looking, you dare to say that my son is not my son?"

The look-at-your-looking person covered the injured right eye, trembling and said, "I, I only tell the truth, what do you want?" Let me tell you, I am the first in the south and the south...... Ah......h

That punch hit him in the other eye.
