Chapter 229: Providence
"Ten mile incense. Dozens of zhang away, Li Tianqi glanced at the flag floating on the inn, and muttered softly, once upon a time, how afraid he was to stay in the inn, and the experience of that youth resurfaced in front of him, and at this time he had grown up, although he was not extraordinary, but he was also calm.
Xiao Shura should be a person who knows how to eat, and she was in a very good mood along the way, constantly telling Li Tianqi about all kinds of delicacies, and there were absolutely no repetitive dishes.
Li Tianqi didn't expect that she had studied food so deeply, and he had more admiration in his heart, but he felt even hungrier, and he couldn't wait to grab a roast chicken and eat it full.
According to Xiao Shura's introduction, this place is the transportation center of the southeast and northwest, but along the way, I didn't see a single figure, let alone a human figure, not even a single livestock.
Shilixiang is most famous for its self-brewed wine named Shilixiang, which means that the aroma of wine can be fragrant for ten miles, although the rumors may be exaggerated a lot, but at least one or two miles can smell the aroma of wine is not a problem, but they did not smell the smell of wine on the way, and they did not smell the inherent smell of the restaurant until recently.
Xiao Shura patronized and introduced all kinds of delicacies to Li Tianqi, but she didn't look closely, until they all came to the door of the inn and saw the closed door, she felt a little strange.
They looked at the road in the other directions and found no human figure.
Xiao Shura rode a horse and shouted: "Xiao Er, the guests are here, and they still don't come out to open the door?" (Nanzhao words)
Li Tianqi was already hungry at this time, and along the way, he heard all kinds of delicacies introduced by Xiao Shura, and he couldn't help but salivate, but the closed door of the inn in front of him made him feel like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle and didn't know what it tasted like, and he whispered in the back: "This place is so deserted. I wonder if it has something to do with the war between the two countries......?
Xiao Shura said: "Even if there is a war, this small shop in the distance will be closed, will it be possible to abandon the shop and run away? There is always someone guarding here, right? She suddenly laughed and said, "Are you hungry? Haha......"
She was so smug about it.
Li Tianqi didn't say anything more.
Xiao Shura shouted a few more times, and after a while, the two heard a noise in the store.
A shopkeeper hurriedly ran over, shouting as he ran, "It's coming." Who's not doing business today, hurry up and go!" (Nanzhao dialect)
Xiao Shura's face was a little unbearable at this time, and he said angrily: "Open the door quickly, if you don't open the door, you will burn your shop!" (Nanzhao words)
Li Tianqi couldn't understand what they were saying, but he could hear the indignation in Xiao Shura's tone.
The shopkeeper reluctantly moved the door panel and opened the door, but still said, "Let's go." Today, the store has something to do and will not entertain other guests. Let's go. (Nan Zhao dialect)
Li Tianqi asked, "What's the matter? They don't do business anymore?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Shura snorted lightly and said, "It's not that they don't do business, but they plan to let me burn down their shop." ”
Li Tianqi said: "Forget it, it's okay for us to hunt some game in the wild and eat it." ”
Xiao Shura said: "If we don't spend the night here today, then we will have to sleep in the wild, at this time there are many poisonous insects in the wild, and we are not prepared, it is too dangerous, and we can't sleep peacefully." ”
At this time, the shopkeeper blurted out: "We can prepare some dry food and mosquito nets for the two of you, and the two of you can continue to hurry." ”
He actually spoke the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth, and he was quite fluent. Perhaps he felt that it was inappropriate to say the official words of the Tang Dynasty here, and the latter sentence was immediately changed to Nanzhao dialect.
Li Tianqi couldn't help but be stunned, Xiao Shura already knew that this person could understand the Central Plains dialect at this time, so he said to him: "Today's girl will not live in your shop." With that, he dismounted.
Li Tianqi had no choice but to jump off the horse.
The shopkeeper wanted to stop him, but suddenly there was a coughing sound in the store, and the shopkeeper had no choice but to laugh, leaned over and made a gesture to ask in, and took the fiery reins from Xiao Shura's hand.
The shopkeeper led Huohong to the stable, and Xiao Shura led Li Tianqi to the main hall.
Xiao Shura said slowly: "Look at these people, you are polite to him, he fights with you haha, when you get angry, aren't they afraid?"
Li Tianqi didn't answer Shura's words, but his eyes looked at the main hall, but there was no one in the main hall, and the benches were neatly stacked on the square table.
Who is the person who coughed? Is it the shopkeeper?
At this time, the shopkeeper tied up the red in the stable, and hurried over again, and asked Xiao Shura, "I don't know what the two of you use?" (Nan Zhao)
Xiao Shura said: "I will put all the best things for the girl." In addition, you don't need to speak Nanzhao dialect, just use the words of the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth, and let him listen to the names of the dishes. (Nan Zhao), said and pointed to Li Tianqi.
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "The little one doesn't understand what to say over there...... This ......"
Li Tianqi smiled and said, "No, isn't what you just said very standard? If it weren't for the fact that I heard you keep saying this, I would have thought I was back in Middle-earth again." ”
The shopkeeper smiled a little embarrassedly, and wiped his sweat with the towel on his shoulder.
When Xiao Shura saw him like this, he thought he was frightened by his words, so he said in a soothing tone: "Don't panic, I'll just say it, if you entertain well, you will naturally not be embarrassed by you, besides, the young master in front of you is a rich master, and the silver money will not be less than half of you." Rest assured. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.
Xiao Shura said: "Hurry up and pick up the name of the dish, don't you understand?"
The shopkeeper looked at the curtain in the back hall a little nervously, and sweat flowed down again.
"Why don't you hurry up and do it?" suddenly fell into the voice, and a crane-haired old man in a long shirt and cloth came out of the back hall.
If the shopkeeper received the pardon, he quickly reported the names of several dishes in Chinese dialect, such as red stewed crucian carp, tomato beef, steamed Wang Ba, etc.
Xiao Shura listened and listened, and suddenly raised his hand and said, "Enough, hurry up and go to Zhang Luo." We were hungry. ”
The old man with crane hair smiled and approached the two of them and arched his hand: "The guy is not good at greeting, and he is a little neglectful, the old man will make a compensatory for the two of them for him, and I hope that the two Haihan ah." ”
Li Tianqi saw that this person was polite, and quickly got up and hugged his fists and said, "It's that we are really hungry, and I have no other intentions." ”
The crane-haired old man smiled and asked, "Have you two traveled a long way?" It has not been very peaceful here lately, not only have there been many fewer merchants passing by, but also there are always bandits and horses, and the old man is also planning to close his business and relocate. ”
Li Tianqi said: "We have indeed traveled a long way. Hearing you say that, it's because of this that the store is closed. Dare to ask if you are ......"
Xiao Shura asked, "Who are you from this shop?"
The crane-haired old man touched the beard under his chin and said with a smile: "The owner is the old man." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Shura shook his head and said, "Although I don't come often, I also know that the owner of Shilixiang seems to be a woman in her teens and forties." ”
The crane-haired old man shook his head slightly and said, "That's my daughter-in-law." The old man doesn't come here very often, isn't it because he has to relocate? That's why the old man came over to deal with some of the tail of the hand. ”
Xiao Shura asked, "Then where are they?"
The crane-haired old man looked at Xiao Shura and said, "This girl seems to have the intention of asking the bottom of the matter, don't you suspect that the old man is cheat......ing?" Don't hide it from the two, because of the war, they went to the rear first. The old man naturally took this risk as soon as he took the old bones, and he was here to deal with some things at hand. ”
"Oh...... I see. Xiao Shura nodded.
"Okay, don't ask so much, we're just passers-by. Li Tianqi heard Xiao Shura's unceremonious tone, worried that the store's dissatisfaction would cause unnecessary trouble, so he hurriedly played a round.
The crane-haired old man smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." It's been a messy year, so it's okay to ask more. ”
Li Tianqi smiled: "It's the store that's forgiving." ”
The old man said, "Listen to your accent, you ......"
Xiao Shura said: "Don't ask about this too much, hurry up and arrange some food." ”
The crane-haired old man obviously saw Xiao Shura's displeasure, and immediately retreated to the back hall again.
"There's something quirky about this shop. After the old man left, Li Tianqi and Xiao Shura whispered to each other at the same time, and the two of them spoke in unison, looking at each other's eyes and understanding each other's meaning, they couldn't help but smile again.
At this moment, a number of people walked into the store.
It seems that the shopkeeper forgot to put up the door panel.
Li Tianqi and Xiao Shuluo turned around at the same time and looked at the group of people who walked in outside the store, and it was actually Lin Yifan and his party. How did they end up here again?
As soon as Lin Yifan Fang entered the door, he saw Chu Chu's moving smile Shura sitting facing him, but he was secretly happy in his heart, but the burly man who made him a little annoyed was also sitting aside, which couldn't help but make him a little unhappy.
But Lin Yifan is a young talent who has come out of the top tutor ** after all, and he is still a little measured, he endured the unhappiness in his heart, and when he stepped into the main hall, he had already bowed his hand to Xiao Shura and smiled: "Girl, we meet again, I don't know if it is arranged by providence or if we do have fate?"
Xiao Shura knew that this person was a distinguished guest invited by her sect, and she was not angry at the moment, so she clenched her fists slightly and said, "This son is polite." The girl is a rough person, but she doesn't know the rules. It's just a chance encounter, and it doesn't need to be involved with any providential fate, right?"
Xiao Shura is a straightforward person, and she doesn't want to be polite in front of Lin Yifan, but she never expected that the more she is like this, the more Lin Yifan appreciates her unique personality and is not pretentious.
His arrogant eyes stared at Xiao Shura in a daze, which made people feel uncomfortable, at least Li Tianqi felt a little restless at the moment.
