Chapter Sixteen(1/2)
"This town is indeed not very good... so it is known as the largest restaurant in the town!"
Just a few steps ahead, the river official who was scanning the hall said to another person.
"Two old men, the little one is not known for it! It is really the largest and best restaurant in the town. If you can come here, you must have already inquired along the way. However, there are no stores in the nearby towns that can compare with this place!"
The shop clerk bowed and said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"There is only one floor, not even a private room. Do you really want the girl to have a meal here?"
The river official asked the people around him again.
It can be seen that among the two, the person on the right is the main one.
"I'm afraid that other places will be even more pickled except here."
The other man thought for a moment and said.
"Since there is nothing better, let's just go here! Let's continue to let the cooking utensils in the back hall be replaced with new ones, and the dishes used for food should also be replaced with brand new ones."
The man continued.
Then he winked at the other person, walked out the door, and rode his horse with another brisk feeling.
The Heguan left behind and walked into the store with his hands behind his back. Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, he walked towards a round table against the wall. Before he could sit down, he asked the servant to bring the dish. The servant responded and turned around and wanted to get it from the counter. However, the Heguan asked:
"Apart from the pineapple pastry, what are the characteristics in your store?"
"When I say that, we belong to the northwest. We mainly use beef and mutton, supplemented by those mountain delicacies and wild game. As for the aquatic products, there are very few aquatic products... If you talk about the taste, each dish has the same main flavor, but only one can make it. In addition, the roast, steam, simmer, stir-fry, blanch, and stir-fry are all exquisite. Moreover, our restaurants often use ancient cooking methods. I don't know how many generations of a stone cooking pot in the back hall, but now it is still stewed with meat."
The shop guy stopped and said.
Although the river official was a little arrogant and domineering, he was also very close. He thought that he was asking about the other characteristics, but the shop clerk explained the cooking characteristics of the northwest. The river official smiled slightly when he heard it, but he didn't expect that he could encounter such a smart job in such a secluded place.
If he honestly answered the question of the He Li, and said a few dishes, if it doesn't match his appetite later, the shop's fault is the one who is unlucky. He boasted about the dishes in the northwest in this way, just to block the He Li's mouth in advance. Whether he loves to eat or not or not is delicious, it has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he travels all over the entire northwest territory, and the food is like this, which is very different from the Taishang River. Even if there is a real hot place, he will have to suffer a loss by himself, but there is no reason for the attack.
"Then how much is the best banquet here?"
The river official asked.
"If you do the uncle, there will be birds and animals on the table, as well as fresh fish, snails, swallows, abalones, and wings."
The shop guy said.
"How do you eat a table of 50 taels? Who are you a girl from Taishang River? You can eat more than 100 taels of tea outside her pleasure boat! Besides, you said before that there was no aquatic product here, but now you say fresh fish, snails, swallows, abalone wings. Isn't it because I want to cheat the money?"
The river official slapped the table and asked sternly.
Zhao Mingming has never seen such a arrogant person. I remember that in the mines of Zhenbeiwang Realm, in the boss’s shop, Zhenbeiwang Shangguan Xuyao was also polite and gentle. How could he be so angry? The less capable a person is, the more he becomes.
"Taishang River is not only an independent force in the world, but also an existence that no one will offend. It is called the world's number one cash-saving cave. Just by listening to the name, you should understand it. As long as you enter the Taishang River, you will be happy, day and night. As long as you have money, you can live a happy life like a god. But because of this, Taishang River has some connections with the five kings of the world and the aristocratic families. I have heard in the Zhongdu Check and Queering Department that the King of Qingzhong will go to Taishang River at least once a month, and will stay for five or six days before returning to Zhongdu City."
Liu Ruiying said.
However, he answered what Zhao Mingming asked earlier.
"Then do you want to learn to learn about the King of Qingzhong?"
Zhao Mingming bit the chopsticks and said vaguely.
"My aunt... how can I say this at will? I don't want to learn what King Qingzhong is, I just go and watch the fun!"
Liu Ruiying stood up with a "rubbing" and reached out to cover Zhao Mingming's mouth and said.
"Learn to learn the King of Zhong", if this is heard by those who are interested, it will be a serious crime of treason. Liu Ruiying, as the provincial flag of the Zhongdu Investigation and Inspectorate, would have to be punished more. When he sat back on the chair, he realized that he was shocked and sweated. As his nose wings twitched, he seemed to smell the smell of the rotten smell in the imperial prison.
Although Zhao Mingming was a little confused, she had never seen Liu Ruiying so nervous. Even when she was fighting Gao Ren, Liu Ruiying was calm and fearful. No matter how nervous he was at the time, at least he did not show any trace of it outside. Unexpectedly, as if he had just happened, the temperament of his whole body suddenly changed drastically. Zhao Mingming opened his mouth but did not continue to ask. Of course, she knew that she might have said something wrong, but she had no clue about which sentence or how wrong it was. Asking in the tone made Liu Ruiying even more panicked. It would be better to just stop talking and make fewer mistakes.
If you talk too much, you will lose your fault. I don’t know how many heroes and heroes suffer from unrestrained disasters. They are all because of this casual word. Liu Ruiying never drank before, because she was worried that she would talk nonsense and cause trouble after drinking. However, she later found that even if she didn’t drink, the trouble did not abandon him. Instead, it became more and more intense and became more and more chasing her.
"Uncle, please calm down! Although there are no aquatic products in the northwest, at least there are some ditches and pools. As long as you look carefully, you can find these lively big carp! As for the snails, shells, swallows, abalone wings mentioned by the little ones, they are all dry goods. They need to be soaked in clean water before they can be used as ingredients."
The shop guy said.
"Well... you're still honest!"
The river official nodded and said.
Then he began to ponder, not knowing what he was thinking. When he suddenly looked up, he saw the shopkeeper pouring tea with him. He didn't know where the anger came from, but kicked the shopkeeper to the ground.
"The little one is the best tea to make! The shopkeeper's instructions must be used to entertain distinguished guests, but he is reluctant to drink it on weekdays. If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell Xiao Ming directly. The little one can't stand your power!"
The child in the shop hugged the teapot and said, "They got up from the ground."
Even if he fell to the ground, the teapot did not break. Not only was the tea brewed inside, but the teapot was also of high-quality porcelain. If he was accidentally broken, the shop's monthly money for half a year would have to be wasted with a "clang".
"What are you doing when I serve you? You haven't gone to catch the salted fish and soak the dry goods? If our girl arrives later, your table will still be empty, which means you can't afford to eat!"
The river official said.
After saying that, he wanted to kick again, but then he thought that the shopkeeper was just a servant, so there was no need to be angry with him. If he really kicked him and no one in the store would support him, then he would be the one who was unlucky.
"Isn't this a bit too much?"
Zhao Mingming felt unbearable when he looked at the pitiful appearance of the shop's shop.
Liu Ruiying said nothing, but after a long time, she sighed.
"The investigation department here claims to be the investigation of the world, just for peace and peace. How could you see such a bully and domineering person today, but just sighing?"
Zhao Mingming asked in dissatisfaction.
"Mingming, many things in this world are not as simple as you think..."
Liu Ruiying said in a heavy tone.
"Although I have lived in the mountains for a long time... at home, I also know that this is not right or wrong. If you don't care about such a person, who else can control it? If this continues, will this world be in chaos?"
Zhao Mingming said.
Liu Ruiying didn't know how to explain this to Zhao Mingming, so she could only respond in silence, hoping that after this temper, she would not get angry again. Where is there anything black or white in this world? It was all black and gray in the white. When she opened it, she saw that the bottom was covered with bright red blood.
"What a handsome horse!"
A praise sounded at the door of the store.
Then a middle-aged man with a wide body and fat body, with a bearded face, walked in with a big belly. He was holding a fan with an extremely vulgar painting on his spitting belly.
When Liu Ruiying saw this man, she looked like a rich man. She must be a well-known figure in this temple. As expected, as soon as the middle-aged man came in, the two tables of drinkers stood up one after another, bowing to question the marks, but even the women who were drinking with him were no exception. From their words, Liu Ruiying learned that this man was called Master Xu, and his name was unknown.
"Why did Mr. Xu come so early today?"
The shop guy asked loudly.
He wanted to go forward to support him, but he was afraid that the river official would get angry again. However, he thought in his mind that Master Xu was just a local snake in this town... How could he compare with Taishang River? So he only greeted him like this, and then he saw that Master Xu had already chatted with the two tables of drinkers, so he did not come forward to pay his respects.
The cleverness was mistaken by cleverness. The shop's shop's shop has been observing the words and showing off their verbal tricks since Liu Ruiying entered the shop. But now, he has calculated something wrong. Although the Taishang River is a giant, this place cannot be expected. But as the saying goes, a strong dragon is indecent local snake. No matter how capable the people in Taishang River are, they only pass by here. After a meal, they set off and leave. However, Mr. Xu lived here for the rest of the world. He neglected him today and waited for the people in Taishang River to leave. The shop's shop's shop's shop's shop's shop's fruits are not good.
No matter how gangsters and white paths or the official world, it is not easy for anyone who can make a name for himself. Liu Ruiying had long seen Master Xu crossing the long street and looking at the store for a long time. Compared to the horse from the river official at the door, you can know that there are big people here today, and he cannot be punished. But as a famous person in this place, he should not be too expensive, so as not to be ridiculed in the future. However, after Master Xu met the people in Taishang River, he did not even dare to breathe.
People like Mr. Xu care about the most is fame and face. Fame is bad, and there is no face. Who else would buy it in this town in the future? So he walked slowly across the street, walked to the door, and shouted. On the surface, he praised the horse, but in fact he told the person in the store that Mr. Xu came. This not only gave the big man in the store face, but it prevented himself from falling too much, and the best of both worlds.
"Mr. Xu drinks!"
As soon as Master Xu arrived, the two tables of drinkers immediately made a table.
Those girls who bought wine to accompany him were also surrounded by Mr. Xu. He was no longer a problem to talk about wine, rub his shoulders, and beat his legs.
"But some days I haven't seen you, where did Mr. Xu go to make a fortune?"
A drinker asked.
"It's not a question of not a question of... I just went to Dingxi Royal City with a brother I met in my early years and made some money from drinking."
Master Xu waved his hand and said.
Everyone was happy when they heard this! They knew that Master Xu's temper was so good that he would slapped him into the sky and make him so beautiful that he would definitely invite everyone to drink and eat. There was no need to discuss the two tables. After one person had a head, the praise flowed out like a string of beads. Liu Ruiying saw that Master Xu was still modest, but his rising corners had already betrayed his thoughts.
"Hahaha, I haven't been back for a long time! We must have a good time in a few days! Man, the same wine and food are on two tables, plus the previous ones, all of them are counted on my account!"
After only two or three cups of tea, Master Xu was already confused and said to the shop clerk.
"Why is there someone from Taishang River in the town?"
After shouting, Master Xu lowered his voice and asked.
"Master Xu, you may not have heard of it yet. Jiang Linlin, the culinary director of Taishang River, is going to pass by our Zhendian today, and I want to have a meal here."
One person said.
"Jiang Linlin? Is the fifth-ranked courtesan of the seven boats in Taishang River?
Mr. Xu asked.
“That’s right.”
The man said.
"No wonder that there is such a big platter... but it's a good thing! On weekdays, girls like this are hard to meet even if we sell all our wealth. Today we meet in this store first. Isn't it great to enjoy the beauty while drinking and eating food?!"
Mr. Xu said.
Everyone responded and raised their wine glasses to drink.
"Although we have never seen Jiang Linlin, we have such a great reputation, but I think we have a very good reputation. But if I want to say, we have a very good eyelid."
