This dish was recommended by Liucheng himself. Seeing the man in brocade clothes not moving his chopsticks, as if these delicacies were indifferent to him, Liucheng felt like he was wasting his resources.
The white-faced scholar may not necessarily be the highest-status person, but he really loves to eat. It seems that once the braised fish was served, he did most of the cooking alone. The commoner boy pulled it twice but didn't clamp it up.
Liucheng looked at the women. Only one of them stretched out her chopsticks and stopped trying. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t like it, or if there’s really some reason for it. Here, Liucheng secretly cried out for pity and smacked his lips a few times. Thinking of that delicious taste, I can't help but feel a little greedy.
Next to the white-faced scholar, the commoner boy opened his mouth to speak. However, the people next to him were quite loud. They were having a drink and calling out to friends, so the voices were naturally mixed. Liucheng listened with some curiosity.
There seemed to be people traveling from south to north, as well as people from Lingnan's local trades, who had some wealth at this time, so Liucheng naturally couldn't interfere too much! Naturally, the young man's voice could still be heard clearly. If he listened carefully and listened carefully, Liucheng could still hear some of it.
"Have you not eaten before? The food is cold, and it smells fishy all over your mouth and hands. Can't you smell it?" The young man's voice was not loud, but when he spoke to the white-faced scholar, he had a certain momentum.
Even though Liucheng was well-informed, he couldn't help but secretly marvel at this strange scene. After all, how can a commoner boy find the confidence to talk to noble people?
"Mr. Lang, you've never tasted it before. It's so delicious. How come it smells fishy?" The white-faced scholar bared his teeth and looked at the young man. Although he wasn't polite, he was somewhat curious. He obviously heard these words. Somewhat doubtful!
"This stuff tastes great when braised. Generally, when a chef cooks it, it needs to be heated before it can be eaten. After cooling for a while, the flavor cannot be suppressed! What a pity!" The young man said casually, shaking his head and sighing without looking at the white-faced scholar. He seemed to be an expert.
The white-faced scholar also whispered a little. After all, there was a distance, so he couldn't hear it here! Liucheng felt a little bored and a little curious, and was about to come over to serve him when he heard someone say that it was raining heavily outside, and it was getting heavier and heavier.
At the same time, they put up an awning at the door. This is the rule of the post house. When it rains or snows, the awning can be set up to provide temporary shelter for those who cannot afford to live in the post house but have no place to go. This can be regarded as the responsibility of the court. As for whether the post office will implement it or not, it depends on everyone!
Then Liucheng was in the tent and heard the sound of horse hooves outside. Before he could react, he saw three fast horses galloping towards them and stopped directly at the door of the post house. Then they stopped at the door.
Before he said hello, a guest in the lobby frowned and said with a bit of impatience: "But another guest is here. There is no room left. Do you still want to squeeze in?"
Then everyone heard a woman's voice saying: "Help prepare two spacious and clean upper rooms for later use..."
Although Liucheng didn't know the details, but seeing the other party's good horses and good luggage, he naturally didn't dare to neglect him casually, so he smiled at the tent and said: "I'm sorry for our distinguished guest, the post is full today and there is no room left." , here you go, your honor."
The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard that. Seeing so many people in the hall, she understood that it might not be a lie, so she said as she came in: "Well, then I might as well give you a room."
Hearing this, Liucheng smiled bitterly, and then he had to smile and said to her: "I'm really sorry today, it's really full."
The woman was impatient, and then waved the leather riding whip in her hand, making a crisp sound in the air, and shouted angrily: "Nonsense! If the post house is open and there is no shop, what kind of shop can you open? The imperial court doesn't even have this little money. there is none left?"
"Honored guest, please be careful what you say...!" His face was a little stiff, and Liucheng felt that she really meant what she said, and it was obviously a bit harsh!
"Isn't it okay to ask someone to give in? Just give you more money, or give money to others." The woman seemed to realize something, so she immediately stopped talking. As she spoke, she rushed to the lobby counter and listened to the right and wrong meaning. I can’t live here if I want to.
Everyone was minding their own business and chatting, even despite the heavy rain. Suddenly seeing this woman, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. I saw that she was no more than ten years old, with an almond-shaped face and rosy cheeks, and a pretty face. She was wearing a sky blue jacket and a long skirt of the same color underneath, but her clothes were luxurious and elegant.
Behind the young woman was a man and a woman, both of whom were obviously younger than her. The man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his expression should be as rough as his crown. This girl in a pink skirt is elegant and beautiful, making her feel demure and elegant!
There is a string of pearls hanging around the girl's neck. Each bead is the size of a big finger and emits a faint halo, making people feel that the aura is compelling and the momentum is compelling.
Everyone in the hall was frightened by the aura of the three people. Those who were talking could not help but remain silent and stared blankly at the three people, obviously knowing that they should not be blasphemous or offensive.
Liucheng gave a wink, and the waiter of the posthouse bowed and smiled: "My dear lady, please calm down, these guests can't find a hotel room and have been resting here for a long time. If you don't feel aggrieved, please let me know." How about everyone move to a different place and make do."
When the waiter said this, everyone looked at it, and the young woman felt very impatient. Seeing this scene, it was also true. He frowned and said nothing. At this time, a lady sitting aside said, "Sit down for a while and eat more."
Seeing that this lady was not an ordinary girl, the beautiful young woman said: "Okay, that's it, thank you sister."
Two women came over and sat next to the woman. The man quickly moved aside to make room for the boss. Not long after we sat down, the waiter brought us the food.
The dishes are also rich, including chicken, fish, vegetables, and a large pot of green ant wine. Not only did the beautiful young woman refuse, she even drank with the man. Some good people couldn't help but look at her and found that she drank a lot, drinking one bowl after another.
The man and the girl actually drank with her, and they were called senior sister and younger brother. These people who have been walking all year round will naturally understand when they hear it. These people should be the disciples of a certain sect in Lingnan, just walking in the rivers and lakes.
Everyone was sitting around the table in the hall, listening to the continuous rain outside the door, but no one was in a hurry. Even if the rain stopped, it would be obviously impossible to rush back to Qichang Mansion. Many people felt helpless at the thought of sitting in this hall all night, but there was nothing they could do about it!
A man with a Shaozhou accent said: "The weather is really torturous, sometimes it's foggy and sometimes it rains. God really doesn't let people live."
A man with a Hezhou accent said: "Don't complain about heaven and earth. How can we fight for a stable life here? I lived in Hengzhou Mansion and now Qichang Mansion. No matter how miserable the world is, it has become a comfortable place." "
