Chapter 104: Stewed horseshoe turtle?
After staying in Shezhou for another three days, they sent the gold and silver to other towns in batches for gold tickets. After the silver tickets, they continued to go north.
When the carriage walked to the city gate, he heard someone selling wild fruits. Li Luotang lifted the curtain of the car, "Brother Gong, buy some wild fruits and eat them on the road."
When buying wild fruits, Gong Jiuxian doesn’t need to experience them personally, and he has his own entourage to serve him.
The carriage leaned over and gave way out. Li Luotang turned his eyes and saw Gu Tingxian riding over, "Yi Shao."
Gong Jiuxian's eyes flashed slightly. When she saw Gu Ting slapped over, she called out with joy: "Tangtang."
"Are you going back to Kyoto?" Li Luotang asked.
"Yes, you are also heading north?" Gu Tingqing had a glimmer of hope in his eyes. If you go to Kyoto, you can go the same way.
Before Li Luotang could answer, Gong Jiuxian interrupted and said, "Let's go to Zhongzhou."
Li Luotang is very conscious of being a meat ticket, so she didn't care where she wanted to go. Anyway, Gong Jiuxian said she would go there.
Whether it is Zhongzhou or Kyoto, it won’t delay her traveling around, eating delicious food, and going there.
I bought the wild fruit, so I don’t have to stop at the gate of this city.
After leaving the city, Li Luotang was in the carriage, and used clean water to wash the wild fruits clean. He tasted one, which was very sweet. He grabbed a few and handed them out from the window on the left, "Brother Gong."
Gong Jiuxian raised her lips and smiled, and took over the wild fruit.
Li Luotang grabbed a few and handed them out from the window on the right, "Yi Shao."
"Thank you" Gu Tingqing stretched out his hand.
Li Luotang put the fruit in his hand, and his fingertips accidentally stayed in his palm for a moment.
Gu Tingyi keenly felt the soft touch, and his ears were slightly red.
Gong Jiuxian didn't notice it across a carriage, not to mention that he was still struggling with Li Luotang's name to the two.
If Li Luotang didn't call him brother, Li Luotang would call him by his surname Gong, which really gave him a headache.
Li Luotang loves to eat and is happy to share. He keeps feeding the two people on the left and right, pastries, candied fruits, and cool mint water.
Gong Jiuxian ate without any taste, and Gu Tingxian was full of joy.
Five miles away from the city, we can finally part ways.
Gong Jiuxian and his group headed southeast, and Gu Tingqing and his two followers headed to the north.
"Young Master Yi, goodbye." Li Luotang waved.
"Goodbye, Tangtang." Gu Tingxian also waved.
The carriage was rushing all the way, and a few days later, he arrived at the county town ahead and went to the city to find an inn to stay in.
There is a restaurant opposite the inn. Li Luotang said, "Let the chef take a break tonight, let's go to that restaurant to have a meal."
"Okay." Gong Jiuxian had no objection.
The restaurant business is very good. Although it has passed the meal, most of the guests are still sitting in the restaurant.
Li Luotang did not go to the private room on the second floor, and shook his eyebrows at Gong Jiuxian and said, "We are sitting in the hall, maybe we can hear some useful news."
Gong Jiuxian was stunned at first, and then laughed silently.
There are many generals in Zhongzhou. Is Li Luotang planning to plunder the bandits' nest?
Snatching away those ill-gotten wealth is also a matter of justice.
The two sat down at a table in the corner, and Li Luotang asked the guy: "What are the signature dishes in the store?"
This county is close to Anhui Province, and the man reported the name of the dish: "Clean stewed horseshoe turtle, pickled fresh mandarin fish, peach fat roasted pork, fragrant fried sycamore chicken..." They are all Hui dishes.
"The oxtail raccoon in the snow, the horse-hoof turtle in the sand." Li Luotang recited a poem, "Give a stewed horse-hoof turtle in the snow."
After Li Luotang ordered four dishes, the guy sincerely recommended: "The wine in the shop is also good. Do you want a pot of the two young men?"
"No need." Li Luotang refused. She didn't drink, and Gong Jiuxian didn't like drinking.
"Give a pot of wine, and then a pot of flower tea." Gong Jiuxian added before Li Luotang said, "I drink wine, you drink tea."
Just as the guy stepped down to deliver the food, someone heard someone shouting, "Damn it, what kind of horse pee is this? You dare to bring it to grandpa for drink?"
"Papa" the sound of slapping the table, the gong-speaking voice shouted: "Waiter, get over here!"
Li Luotang frowned and looked over. There were three big men at the table. The one who slapped the table was a man with a fat face.
The guy ran over with a look of fear on his face, "Ye Fan, this is the best wine in the small shop."
It is actually a good idea to have such a drink in this small place.
"Can this kind of horse urine be called wine?" the man yelled, furious.
Li Luotang raised his eyebrows and looked at Gong Jiuxian. With this person's pickiness, could he really drink wine that was described as horse urine?
Gong Jiuxian's expression did not move. He sat with his back to the table, but he was not curious and looked back, but just turned the cup in his hand wholeheartedly.
"Lao Wu, enough." A low voice stopped the man from roaring, then waved his hand and asked the guy to leave.
After a while, the guy brought the wine and food to the table, "Young master, the wine from the shop was brewed by the boss himself. You will know it if you try it. It is definitely not something..." He looked at the Fan Master carefully, "Ma Zhu."
This man was wearing a scary mask and he didn't see anyone he could meet.
Gong Jiuxian took the pot and poured a glass of wine, took a sip, "This wine is soft and refreshing, too light. That person should love to drink strong wine, but this wine does not taste like him."
"Young Master is right. That Mr. Fan always brings his own drinks when he comes to the shop. I don't know why this time, so he didn't bring wine." The guy said.
"Who is that Mr. Fan?" Gong Jiuxian asked casually.
The guy hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: "They are the generals of Shigushan, very fierce."
Li Luotang's eyes flashed and the target was found.
Gong Jiuxian raised her hand and signaled the guy to retreat. He already knew what he wanted to know.
"You want wine to ask him about it?" Li Luotang picked up a horse-hoofed turtle.
"An unexpected joy." Gong Jiuxian didn't tell the truth. When he came in, he noticed the three people.
Li Luotang brought the horse-hoofed turtle into his mouth. The turtle was stewed so crispy that it was tender and tender, without any earthy smell. The plump skirt meat was smooth and smooth.
"I couldn't eat this famous dish in Huizhou, but I went to a small shop." Li Luotang scooped two spoonfuls of soup in a bowl and drank a small spoonful of soup. The soup was mellow and greasy. "I finally didn't miss this delicacy."
After the meal, the three of them left a piece of silver and left in a swagger.
The guy didn't dare to stop him. Not to mention that the three of them gave him a piece of silver, even if they wanted to eat the King's meal, they would go with them.
It is a blessing that it has not disturbed other guests to eat.
Gong Jiuxian winked and Mingcui followed her out.
After a while, Mingcui came in and continued to stand behind Li Luotang.
After dinner, when he returned to the inn, Li Luotang asked anxiously: "When will we go to Shigu Mountain?"
"No hurry, wait until they find out their purpose of going down the mountain, capture them, and ask about the situation of the village, it will not be too late to take action." Gong Jiuxian already had a complete plan.
I just asked Mingcui to go out, but I asked Mingcui to ask someone to follow the three people.
For this, the group had to stay in this small town for a few more days.
