Chapter 28 Fried Shredded Pork
When the rooster crowed, heavy rain came unexpectedly. The wind helped the rain. The heavy rain with copper eyes fell from the sky and smashed to the ground. Soon on the mud, small pits were smashed; the low-lying area was full of rain, and even if there were rain ponchos, it could not stop the heavy rain. Li Luotang, who had originally planned to leave the city to have fun, could only be stuck in the inn and peel pine nuts and eat.
Seeing her pouting her mouth and looking unhappy, Yi Jing comforted her and said, "The storm will stop soon, and it will not be too late to go out."
Even if it's not too late, there is rain and mud everywhere, so you can't climb mountains.
"It's a trivial matter that you can't go out for fun. I'm afraid that the rain will not stop until noon. The inn's dishes are not delicious." Li Luotang ate the inn's pickles and steamed buns in the morning, and felt very wronged.
Yi Jing laughed silently, "The rain will stop."
Other guests who were blocked by heavy rain also gathered in the inn lobby, bought peanuts, melon seeds, fried beans from the inn, and sat around the table to eat and chat.
"When will the rain stop?" sighed a guest who was anxious to go on his way.
"Looking at the rain, it will not stop until dark." Someone talked based on experience.
"It's dark, oh hey, it's really a matter of delaying the day."
"If you want to open it, you will delay the day, which is good."
"Yes, the two years ago, I went to the north to sell sheep and was blocked by heavy snow at the ferry. It was seven days. That was really deadly. Nearly a hundred sheep were frozen to death. Fortunately, I met Young Master Gu from Tianwu Mansion and helped me sell the sheep to the Ji family army. Otherwise, I would have lost all my money and sold my children."
"It's raining and snowing, it's God's business. It's okay to have natural disasters, but I'm afraid of man-made disasters. My brother-in-law and a few companions go northwest. On the way, I encountered a robbery. If it weren't for the young heroes from Tianwu Mansion who saved them, one of the grass on their tombs would be tall."
Several people talked about the help of the people from Tianwu Mansion, and highly praised the Tianwu Mansion, saying that this was a knight. At this time, someone sang a counter-tune, "It's just a group of court hawks, what qualifications are there to be called a knight?"
Li Luotang looked around in surprise. Who is so bold? He doesn't want to live anymore? In this era, there is no freedom of speech.
"Who? Get out." A strong man with a thick appearance stood up and shouted.
However, no one stood up.
The strong man sneered and scolded: "I only dare to make fallacies in secret, rats in the gutter, I'm gonna be."
After a moment of silence, someone asked, "Hero, are you from Tianwu Mansion?"
The strong man shook his head and said, "I'm not. Tianwu Mansion recruits people. I went to take the exam. Unfortunately, my skills are not as good as others and I didn't pass the exam."
"Hero, tell us what conditions are needed to recruit people in the martial arts palace this day. My second boy is learning martial arts in the martial arts school and is very good at it."
"First of all, you need to be innocent, and you also need three famous recommenders. Of course, you must also have good kung fu. The first level is to enter the ancient formation. Only those who have passed the ancient formation can play in the qualifying competition. The top ten can enter the Tianwu Mansion to be a seventh-grade guard. The top fifty places are the back guards, and if you perform well, you can be promoted to the eighth-grade guard." said the strong man.
"I heard that the salary in Tianwu Mansion is higher than in other places, isn't it true?"
"It's not just a high salary, but also a third-level official." The strong man looked envious. Unfortunately, he failed to get into the Tianwu Mansion. That was the matter of Guangzong and Guangzuozu.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The rain is about to stop."
Everyone looked out the window and the rain had become smaller. It took another half an hour and the rain stopped.
The guests who were in a hurry to checked in and left the store; Li Luotang also pulled Yi Jing out and went to the street to find food; the street after the rain was wet, with water mist, and raindrops fell from time to time on the eaves.
Before the weather cleared, I was afraid that it would rain again, so the two of them did not walk far away. They ordered a few home-cooked dishes in a small shop not far from the inn. Fried shredded pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, slippery fish fillets, and fried shrimp.
"You can't just eat meat, you can have another vegetable and an egg soup." Yi Jing ordered two more dishes.
"There are too many dishes and I can't finish it." Li Luotang said.
"Then don't stir-fry shredded pork and sweet and sour pork ribs." Yi Jing said calmly.
"Shuo, yes, yes." Li Luotang reached out and pulled Yi Jing's sleeve, "Brother Yi, why don't you?" After getting along for a long time and getting familiar with each other, Li Luotang naturally acted coquettishly towards Yi Jing.
"You should eat vegetarian dishes, and you are not allowed to be picky about food." Yi Jing said seriously.
"Oh" Li Luotang agreed reluctantly.
After a while, the dishes were served. Li Luotang looked at the green, red and fragrant fried shredded pork, and his eyes were glowing. However, Yi Jing scooped a bowl of soup for her, "Drink the soup first."
Li Luotang obediently drank the soup, Yi Jing asked with a smile: "Actually, if you don't drink it, I won't force it. Why are you so obedient?"
"Because I know you are doing it for my own good." Li Luotang smiled with curvy eyes. She was not an ungrateful fool.
Yi Jing smiled and reached out to rub her head.
Li Luotang took the shredded pork to eat. The shredded pork tasted mellow and the heat was just right, and the knife skills were fine. Each shredded pork was almost the same size and length, and the taste was mellow.
The hurried horse hooves stopped from far to near, and five men in brown uniforms walked in. Their eyes were bright, and the sword hanging around their waists revealed their identity. They were people from the martial arts licking blood on the edge of the knife.
Seeing them blocking the door, the guy stepped forward and smiled, "Please sit inside, please."
"Get out." The strong man in the lead pushed the guy away.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper licked his lips nervously. These people from the world came in full force and must have come to find fault. The shopkeeper said, "May men, this guy has never seen the world. If there is any conflict, I would like to forgive me. May I come to the shop and have something to eat, and the villain will get it in the kitchen."
The strong man in the lead hummed twice and said, "If you don't see anything in your small shop, I will order one you must have."
He laughed twice and then said, "I want a 'Tianyang Sword' to cook, and I also have to drink in the "Tianyang Map"."
Yi Jing frowned slightly. The Tianyang Sword and the Tianyang Map were the treasures of martial arts left by the old man Tianyang. Rumors in the world, if you get the Tianyang Sword and the Tianyang Map, you can dominate the world. However, people in the world have been searching for it for decades and have gained nothing. Gradually, no one believed this rumor anymore. Unexpectedly, they were brought up again today.
Li Luotang touched his forehead and found a restaurant for lunch. Why did he encounter this? What luck is this?
"You are joking, you are joking. You have never heard of this dish." The shopkeeper said with a forced smile.
The strong man sneered: "Sir Zhao, stop pretending. If we don't understand your background, how could we come to you?"
"Okay, okay, okay." Manager Zhao called out three times, and was discovered after hiding his identity for twenty years.
Seeing a fight was about to happen, Yi Jing did not want to join in, but the door was blocked and he could not leave.
Li Luotang took the tray and put the vegetables on the tray, "Brother Yi, come on, let's get the place out." So that they would not be able to perform.
Yi Jing was stunned at first, then laughed silently. The little girl who was not serious about watching the show helped her move the vegetables to the table in the corner and continue to eat. The guests at other tables had long been huddled in the corner in fear and did not dare to move. They never expected that the honest and honest shopkeeper Zhao was actually a man from the martial arts world.
