Chapter Fourteen: Smart but Not Smart

"Where are people, what kind of livelihood?"

Liu Ruiying asked in this way.

"Is the official going to have a drink?"

I thought this middle-aged man would be exposed immediately, but he didn't expect that he stood up, slapped Liu Ruiying with a fan, and asked with a grin.

Not only do they use the official language of the Five Kings, but they also have a genuine Zhongdu accent.

Liu Ruiying was a little confused... and then she felt that she might have preconceived ideas and had some misunderstandings.

But after observing for a long time, he did not look like a serious businessman. Moreover, the store he was in had a sign of a grain and oil store on it. It was probably because he had just sold it, but he still had no time to change the sign.

Looking at the back of the wine jar, there were a few sets of tables, chairs, benches, and some side dishes to eat.

However, the layout was very simple, which reminded Liu Ruiying of the magical place that stood alone in the Zhenbeiwangyu Mine. It was a magical place where the gathering canteen, wine shop, inn and coffin shop stood together.

Unfortunately, no matter how shrewd this middle-aged man is, he is not the very charming boss lady.

Zhongdu City is not the Gobi mine that shook the Beiwang Realm.

All the people who sell meals here will use very clean and shiny plates and utensils to hold the food.

From famous restaurants to street vendors, the cars, loads and various utensils they use are also novel and exquisite, and can be liked at a glance.

The taste of the dish soup is just right. No matter where you come from, you will definitely find food that suits your appetite in Zhongdu City.

In these aspects, vendors in the entire Zhongdu city were definitely not willing to be hasty.

Even the popular people on the streets who are despised by others, such as the medicine-selling doctors, and the half-baked Onmyoji who tell fortunes, are all well-dressed.

There are not many beggars on the streets and alleys, but they also have their own rules and divisions.

Especially for businessmen, if their words and deeds are beyond their limits and slack, they will be excluded by their peers and cannot be accommodated in Zhongdu at all.

This is the place where Zhongdu is different from other places. As the most lush and lively place, you naturally have to show a different pomp and demeanor from the wilderness. Otherwise, how can you call it Zhongdu?

But the tables, chairs and benches in this smart middle-aged man's wine shop are not only old, but the only side dishes look very shady.

The belly of the dried tofu has begun to bulge, and I don’t know how long it has been left.

In such a hot summer, if the dried beans are put out, they will become deteriorated and sour in three or four hours. If they become like this, they will be at least overnight. If they are sold to people for food, they will have to have a stomachache and treat the doctor.

Look at the plate of butcher shop, with several flies hovering on it. Many unknown little black worms were lying on it, inserting their long mouthparts into it, sucking greedily.

After Liu Ruiying hurriedly glanced at him, he felt extremely disgusting.

A businessman who is so pickled in the store is still on the busiest Shinian Street in Zhongdu City. This is something that should not have happened no matter what.

Either he is not from Zhongdu, or he is not a person who makes a living by setting up stalls and selling things. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be ready to go hungry when he treats things that he can get food in this way?

"Have you heard my question clearly?"

Liu Ruiying said.

Now that I am sure that this person has a problem with his decision, I am no longer polite.

"Go back to the official! I heard it clearly."

This person said.

But he still avoided answering Liu Ruiying's question.

Liu Ruiying had just experienced two incidents and had no time to talk nonsense with a little work here. He immediately slapped at the edge of the wine jar in annoyance.

The effort was not strong, but the wine in the tank was stirred up and rolled out.

The splash of wine fell on the savage half of the wine and the shrewd middle-aged man.

I thought he was about to be soaked by water, but the middle-aged man blocked the air with a fan, showing agility that ordinary people don’t have.

Most of the wine flowed along the fan surface and roared to the ground.

The remaining little pounced on his face from the gap in the fan.

I saw this person flashing in the afterglow, and he immediately howled with his eyes covering his eyes, saying that the drink was in his eyelids, and it hurt so much that he was going to be blind...

The nearby hawkers and some passers-by who were joining in the fun looked at this place.

People in Zhongdu City always attach great importance to human feelings and morality.

If there are behaviors of bullying the market, bullying others with power, or looking down on foreign tourists, there will definitely be people on the long streets to stand up for them and stand up for them.

Sometimes, when the Sanwei Army soldiers who were responsible for the stability of the Zhongdu City had to deal with the matter, if it was a trivial matter like a fight, someone would stand up and say something fair.

If there are foreigners or tourists from afar, they will move to settle down near their homes, and will enthusiastically lend their own supplies to him. They will also bring hot tea and snacks to visit him, and inform them in detail about many things in the city. Which ones need to be paid attention to, where the vegetables and meat are the cheapest, whose rapeseed oil is the purest and doesn’t cost any pounds, etc.

Such a passionate and simple folk customs is a great blessing wherever it is placed. At this time, it became Liu Ruiying's biggest stumbling block.

Once the simplicity is used by those who are interested, it will be a morally entangled case. Looking at so many people, the man looks bullied, and it is obvious that he wants to mess with the situation.

As a last resort, Liu Ruiying had no choice but to walk up to him and put out the officials of the investigation department.

I thought that if this person was really smart, he would not continue. In Zhongdu City, the Investigation and Instrument Department had the right to be arbitrary on the spot. No matter what the reason was against him, he would not have a good ending.

But after seeing Liu Ruiying's official position as the provincial banner of the "Zhongdu Inspection and Inspection Department", this person still hummed constantly, which made Liu Ruiying frown.

What is this person's identity? He still refused to give up after hearing his identity.

"...It's not sorghum! How could my nose go wrong..."

Three and a half of the wine were dipped in a little splash of wine, put it in my mouth, and sucked it a few times and said.

It seems that I want to taste what kind of wine this is, but after savoring it for a long time, I have no idea.

Originally, it was just talking to himself, but Liu Ruiying felt extremely incredible when she heard it.

With the knowledge and understanding of wine of three-half of wine, I will fall into the wine in this shop... It can only be said that the weirdness is far from knowing that Liu Ruiying saw it and thought of so much.

"It's all right, I found the wrong shop!"

Liu Ruiying changed her tone and said this.

It is not only a message to the smart middle-aged man, but also an explanation to vendors and passers-by from all directions.

Three-half of the wine was still a little unsatisfied with the wine in the big jar. I wanted to try it again and see what was burned.

He is too sensitive to wine. If he can't taste the exact name, he will feel like a stone in his heart and feel uncomfortable, just like a scholar who encounters words he doesn't recognize, and he must find a way to find out.

Before he could reach into it, he was pulled away by Liu Ruiying and walked straight to a small tea shop not far ahead.

Xiao Jinkan and Ou Xiaoe followed closely behind.

I don’t know what Liu Ruiying is going to do, but I also feel in my heart that the real trouble tonight seems to be coming.

There are countless wineries and tea shops on Shinian Street.

Especially in tea shops, there are special people calling it "tea bottle".

In addition to serving tea and water in the tea shop, they are also responsible for inquiries and delivering messages to people from all over the country.

I walk around every household every day, and while delivering tea and water, I can also collect and transmit the latest news from each household.

Any criminal case, or somewhere to do weddings, etc., can't escape the eyes and ears of such people. Sometimes, for the sake of a lot of guests, the host family has to rely on the connections of "carrying tea bottles" and ask them to help or send congratulations and condolences.

This type of person has the most informative information. Liu Ruiying's purpose in entering the tea shop was to find a "tea bottle" to inquire about the middle-aged man in the stone mill.

unfortunately.

Tonight, the tea shop was crowded with people, and there was no empty seat left. Not to mention those "tea bottles" that were busy, and their feet were not touching the ground.

There is no time to talk about things, and I wish I could use my two hands as four. They stumbled between the guests with agility and accurately served them tea, without leaving a single look to see the new guests.

Liu Ruiying wandered around and saw that there was really no place, so she had to give up... and turned to Huixian Tower opposite.

As the best restaurant on Shinian Street, it is worthwhile but it is fair and never deceives customers. It is really valuable.

Most of the people come and go to Shinian Street. It is a blessing to have such a high-end and affordable place.

What's more, Huixianlou has prepared more than a hundred sets of spare food utensils all year round, and dozens of good wedding banquets and birthday banquets can be placed on the table in less than an hour.

Where the food in Zhongdu City is larger, the soup of the first soup, stone marrow soup, and other soups, such as white butterfly cakes, such as soft sheep, large and small bones, horn roasts, and meat in the stove, as well as staple foods such as white butterfly cakes, tung noodles, soup and rice.

No matter how small the place you go, you will also have the dough soup that is stirred evenly with the batter and chopped along the edge of the bowl with chopsticks. Among them, the dishes tasted by Pingnan Wangyu are the most special, which relies on the east end to enjoy sweetness and the west end to enjoy spicy food.

Huixianlou is the best place to eat the style of Pingnan King Realm in Zhongdu City.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a photo frame at the door, with fans of pigs and mutton hanging on it.

It seems like there is a big banquet tonight.

Liu Ruiying saw that the streets and the doors and windows in Huixian Tower were decorated with red and green silk, which was extremely festive. According to the requirements, this was called "Happy Door".

I wanted to find a waiter or a manager in the yard to ask about the situation, but I didn't see anyone, and I met diners with acquaintances bowing and smiling.

“This place is nice, I’m really hungry!”

Xiao Jinkan said.

A buzzing sounded in Liu Ruiying's belly... I remembered that after the literary battle, he had not eaten anything serious.

There are too few pancakes, but the dishes in Chunhunting Pavilion are not good to eat.

It looks really good, but the taste is not satisfactory...

As for Xiao Jinkan.

The food and food that his master Ye Wei brought from the food box was not something that normal people could swallow... If it weren't for the sake of leaving some face for the old guy, Xiao Jinkan would have thrown away all the boxes long ago and would not have had any effort to bring them up.

Since that's the case, Liu Ruiying felt that it would be too late to have some delicious meals with her friends here, then go to Da Lao Jiang and go to Baoyi Casino.

The night is not over halfway.

The later the places, the more people there are, and the later the more lively it becomes.

The night can not only aggravate the appetite of drinking, but also make people become more indulgent.

All of this is condensed in just a few hours and will be much more intense than usual.

After passing through the yard of Huixianlou, there is a corridor on both sides, and ordinary guests usually eat in the corridor.

Liu Ruiying saw a free head at a glance. She was about to greet everyone and sat down, but was interrupted by a bowed and said to her mouth by a bow.
