Chapter 87: Tofu Brain?
The next day, Li Luotang woke up and learned that he was going to stay in Shezhou for a few days, so he asked, "Can I go shopping on the street?"
"Let Mingcui and Cuiliu go with you." Gong Jiuxian added before Li Luotang turned against her: "Let them help you get things. If you don't want to, then forget it."
"If I don't want to, don't you let them follow me?" Li Luotang asked.
"It's easy to get rid of them from the Li family's flying swallows." Gong Jiuxian's tone was relaxed, and a smile flowed in her deep eyes.
"It's good that you know." Li Luotang raised his chin proudly, "I'm bored when shopping alone, so let them follow."
After breakfast, Li Luotang took two maids to the street.
The city is prosperous, with various new fruits, loquats, candied dates, sand horns, papaya ice and snow, sugar water lychee paste, etc. on the stalls on both sides of the road.
There are many foods, Li Luotang doesn't know its name, but they all look delicious. Li Luotang stood in front of a stall, "What is this?"
"This is tofu brain marrow. Do you want a bowl of it?" the vendor asked with a smile.
"Some three bowls." Li Luotang was generous, "How much does it cost to go together?"
"Nine cents, thank you young master." The vendor collected the copper plate, lifted the gauze covered with tender tofu, picked up a piece, surrounded it with gauze, squeezed out the moisture and untied it.
Pour the tofu into a bowl filled with flour, add a small amount of fine meat, and then the vendor rotates and shakes the bowl gently. After years of making it, the spreading tofu soon wrapped the flour on the outside and became a ball-shaped ball.
The vendor tilted the bowl against the edge of the pot and rolled the tofu meatballs into the soup pot. After making more than a dozen, boiled it over high heat and the meatballs floated up, and the tofu brain marrow was ready.
Put it out and put it in a bowl, and pour a spoonful of soup on it.
Li Luotang was amused and crying. It turned out that this tofu brain marrow is tofu meatball soup. I bought it and I couldn’t stop eating it. So let’s try it!
Put the folding fan in the fan bag, take the bowl, scoop up a meatball, blow it, and put it in your mouth. This tastes quite good. The tofu is very tender, soft and delicious, the soup is also delicious, and the flavor is unique!
Soon, I finished eating this bowl of tofu brain marrow.
The three of them continued shopping. The sun was bright and the weather was hot. There were many people on the street. After walking for half a day, even Li Luotang was so hot that he was sweating from his nose, let alone the two maids, who were covered in sweat.
"There is a teahouse in front of us, let's go to have a tea and take a break." Li Luotang shook his hand and folded his fan.
Both maids showed relief smiles. They were both martial arts practitioners and would not feel tired even if they were shopping for a day, but there were too many things on their hands, so they had to put them down and let them go.
After entering the teahouse, there were a lot of tea guests and it was very lively. The guy came up to take the three of them to an empty table and sit down.
"Come a pot of Tunxi green tea and pick up two plates of delicious pastries." Li Luotang said to the two maids again, "Sit down."
"This is not in line with the rules." Mingcui said.
"Don't be able to tell those rules outside, sit down quickly." Li Luotang said in an orderly tone.
Mingcui and Cuiliu could only sit down, and sat in half a chair, with their waists straight.
Li Luotang pressed his fan against his forehead. The two of them didn't feel tired when they sat like this.
The business in this teahouse is so prosperous because there are storytellers and singing women. Today it happened to be the turn of singing songs.
The singing woman is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She looks pretty and has a petite girl, wearing a green cloth dress and holding a pipa.
The old man sitting on the chair next to her should be her grandfather, with wrinkles on his face and a vicissitudes of life, holding a huqin in his hand.
The singing woman saluted: "Little woman Lan is a good friend to greet all the tea guests, and today she sang a song "Quail Sky" for you."
The sound is crisp and gentle, no wonder you can make a living by singing.
After the prelude of the huqin, Lan Qiao plucked the strings of the pipa, ding ding dong dong, and sang: "The orioles on the branches and tears are heard, and the old ones are among the new sings. There is no news in the spring, and the dreams are exhausted thousands of miles away from the mountains. There is no word, and the arrangement is broken until dusk. I can only burn the lamp, and the rain hits the pear blossoms and close the door."
This word is originally smooth and smooth, linked, with a touch of excellence and ups and downs. She sang it lingeringly, and then contrasted with the sound of the pipa that seemed to be unpredictable, adding a bit of sorrow.
"Okay." The tea guests cheered in unison.
The old man came over to collect the rewards with a tray.
Li Luotang generously gave half a hanging of copper coins, which made the old man so happy: "Thank you, young master, thank you."
At this moment, a group of slutty children who didn't look like good people entered the teahouse.
Li Luotang's eyes shine, "The evil young man!" I saw the evil young man again! The business that has not been opened for a long time can be opened.
She did not take action to destroy the branch of the Blood Underworld Sect, and she was not willing to ask for the bloody gold and silver.
Lan Qiao screamed with panic on her face, hugged the Pipa tightly, and looked at the tea guests present for help.
The tea lovers avoided her sight.
The man led by the slutty man grinned and said, "Little ladies, I have said that I have fallen in love with you. If you obediently follow me, you must be a little lady and enjoy wealth and prosperity. If you are reluctant, I will play for a few days and I will sell you to the brothel."
"If you force robbed the girl, you... aren't afraid that I will go to the government to sue you." The old man said frightened when he heard that he was going to snatch his granddaughter.
"Hahaha, you go to the government to sue me? In this Shezhou city, I, Yu Jian, are the king's father, old guy. For your granddaughter, I won't bother with you today. If you offend me, get out of the way." Yu Jian reached out to catch Lan Qiao, "Come here for me."
In the teahouse, except for Li Luotang and the other two, everyone knows who Yu Jian is, and no one dares to stop or persuade him.
"Slow down." Li Luotang said.
"Who dares to care about my little business?" Yu Jian looked over glaringly, "Why, you little guy, have you also fallen in love with this singer?"
"Wrong, I didn't like this singer, I like you." Li Luotang paused for a moment. When everyone showed contempt, Li Luotang completed his words, "the money bag."
After saying that, Li Luotang rushed up, and took a long whip, and the whip danced quickly. The whip reached the meat, making Yu Jian and others screamed, and all the tea lovers were stunned.
When Li Luotang was about to calm down, Yu Jian and others were all thrust to the ground, and each of them had scars from the whip.
"Who are you? Let's sign up." Although Yu Jian trembled with pain all over his body, he still pretended to be tough and honest.
"I am a knight in the world who eliminates the harm to the people. Do you want to be shot to death by me?" Li Luotang asked with a smile.
Yu Jian stared at the mung bean eyes and said with a mighty attitude: "Do you know who Yu Jian is? You dare to kill me. My father will not let you go."
Li Luotang knocked Yu Jian's head with the handle of the whip, "Idiot, after I suck you to death, I will fly away. What your father can do is to collect the corpse for you. If you don't want to die, just be more sensible."
