Chapter 52 Suspected reunion
The two were talking when Du Shaoqing came out of the back house.
"Duke Lu, it seems that there is a happy event when he is here again."
"Haha, Your Majesty was very moved by the behavior of Shopkeeper Du to offer a good prescription to save my Tang soldiers, so he issued an order to reward a thousand taels of silver and ten carts of silk. Today, he brought you all." As he said that, he gave Du Shaoqing a look that you know. The two of them looked at each other and knew it well, that was what Cheng Yaojin said, otherwise it would not be just a reward, at least there would be a title.
"Is this?" Du Shaoqing turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man next to Cheng Yaojin. This man was burly and pale with a pale face, but he still couldn't hide his heroic spirit. Could it be that this was the legendary door god?
"I'll introduce you to you. This is Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, the Duke of Yiguo of the Tang Dynasty. He is also my life and death brother. This time I came here to seek medical treatment from you."
It turns out that this is true. Du Shaoqing respected this hero. He was already familiar with this hero in his previous life. Whether it is the unparalleled bravery recorded in official history or the unparalleled loyalty in Romance novels, this person deserves to be called a hero in the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Du Shaoqing has seen General Qin and admired him for a long time. Today, he will be destined to see him, and this life will be worthwhile."
Qin Qiong was slightly moved when he heard that the other party did not call him Duke of his country but also called him general. Today, he was in a casual manner and had not been in the army for many years. No one had called him that long ago. This is obviously because he respected his courage in battle, not his title.
"Doctor Du is polite. Qin Qiong is just a reckless man on the battlefield. He can't think of this. He is here today and I'm afraid he will bother him." Qin Shubao also gave a greeting.
As he spoke, Qin Qiong couldn't help but look forward and carefully observed the other party. It didn't matter when he saw it. Qin Shubao felt a little confused. What, how is it possible? This young man looks like that person?
Du Shaoqing also looked at the real door god carefully, and was a little lost, wanting to see if it looked like it was printed on the door painting.
Seeing how the two of them were so rude, Cheng Yaojin interrupted quickly, "Oh, I said second brother, Doctor Du, are not outsiders, hurry up and talk about the serious business. Also, after rushing on the road, Old Cheng's stomach is already hungry. Let's ask your chef to make some food."
"Oh, I'm slacking off, please come from the two.
But one thing is to say, I am just a shopkeeper who runs an inn, not a miracle doctor. Don’t call him that, don’t let others have misunderstandings.”
"Okay, okay, but you're a lot of kids." Cheng Yaojin was also familiar with this.
Speaking of which, the two of them opened a winery together, which was considered a cooperative relationship, and Cheng Yaojin was trying to treat his brother to the doctor, so he naturally wanted to condescend to get into the relationship.
"Uncle Big Tiger, are you okay? I said I would make a big bowl of egg custard for Grandpa Beard. He is so big that he must have eaten a lot. How can you make such a small bowl? I can finish it alone." In the kitchen, Xuanxuan pointed to the two pottery bowls on the chopping board and said dissatisfied.
The big tiger advised with distress: "My aunt, you don't know that the food is expensive, right? This thing is eggs, and one of them is always expensive. Three eggs are made into a big bowl. In the past, you can only serve two eggs per meal to make full use of the full treatment, while others only have steamed buns.
Even if Duke Lu has a big appetite, he can't use this as a meal."
But the little girl didn't buy it. No matter how many eggs a meal were, she grabbed Big Tiger's trousers and said coquettishly: "Uncle Big Tiger, please, Grandpa Beard finally came here, so just make a big bowl for him. Last time, didn't my father agree to make a big bowl for him last time?"
"The last time I had three eggs, it was that big." The big tiger pointed to the bowl on the chopping board and explained.
"That won't work. This time you have to be bigger. Just that big, use that big bowl of steamed buns."
Looking along Xiao Xuanxuan's finger, the big tiger's feet became soft, "God, that's so big? Aunt, what's the point? That's not a bowl, it's a wooden basin for steaming buns. I'm afraid that it wouldn't be enough to make a basin of egg custard. If you don't have a hundred eggs, you can't finish it. Not to mention that Duke Lu can't eat it, our family can't finish it even if you come here to eat it.
Just let me go, we don’t have that much egg stock in our house.”
"Wow, Uncle Tiger bullied Xuanxuan and asked you to make an egg custard. Xuanxuan ignored you anymore and would not eat the food you cooked in the future." Suddenly, the little girl opened her throat and began to cry loudly. She got into the role for three seconds and started to burst into tears.
The crying sounded throughout the inn, and even the Du family's back house could be heard clearly. Du Shaoqing was leading Qin Shubao and the other two to the guest room. When he heard his daughter crying, he immediately rushed into the kitchen.
"Xuanxuan, what's wrong? What happened? Did you knock somewhere?" He picked up the child and searched for it to see if he was injured.
The big tiger pointed at the basin awkwardly and explained: "Shopkeeper, no, the lady asked me to make egg custard for Duke Lu. I used our largest bowl. She also said she was young and insisted that I use the basin for dough. I just started crying for this, I...I..."
Du Shaoqing was so thundered that he was so tender that he thought to himself, good daughter, how could you be so prodigal? Dad, I know you are trying to please others, but others don’t know that you might think you were deliberately trying to trick him. If Cheng Yaojin ate that basin was to be eaten, I was afraid that he would be trying to make others die?
Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, who followed the kitchen door, also saw it. Cheng Yaojin was sweating coldly and couldn't help but cover his stomach and said to him that he would never dare to mess with this little aunt in the future. He wanted to kill people without blood.
"Little baby, stop crying. He said that his bearded grandfather is not hungry and he can't eat so much. This bowl is enough. Otherwise, eating too much will make your stomach burst. Do you think?"
The little girl Lihua turned around and asked Cheng Yaojin with rain, "Is it true that the big bearded grandfather?"
Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, that's right, I've had dinner before, you see, my stomach is round."
"Oh, that's true. I'm sorry, Xuanxuan almost made a mistake. If you eat it again, your belly will be broken and you can't eat it anymore.
Uncle Big Tiger, then don’t do it. Wait until the bearded grandfather is hungry tonight. He can’t eat it even if you make it now.” Xuanxuan stopped crying and turned around and reminded her seriously.
Cheng Yaojin was about to cry. Girl, do you know that I said this to coax you? I was pretending to be round. I was hungry and thirsty and dizzy when I rushed over. I was so happy that I didn’t let the chef cook and entertain him. I was giving money to your family. Are you just entertaining guests like this?
Du Shaoqing couldn't help but pick up his daughter and smiled at the chef's big tiger, "It's okay, Duke Lu can eat it. Just make two big bowls according to such a big bowl, and make a bowl of egg custard for General Qin to taste."
