"ah!"
Lu Hai screamed.
Several people in the group stood over.
Although this Lu Hai was not from the Zheng family, in Jixian County, as long as he had even the slightest connection with the Zheng family, ordinary people would not dare to provoke him.
Lu Hai has been living in Jixian for so long, but he has never been splashed with water at a small tea stall!
"Are you looking for death? Knowing that Mr. Lu is a disciple of the Zheng family, how dare you... how dare you do this?"
These people in my group are all scholars, and they are not as vicious as ordinary evil slaves.
Seeing Bai Song, he showed no fear and had an extraordinary bearing.
Knowing that the other party was related to the Zheng family, he still held his head high and seemed not to care.
In addition, Bai Song's clothes were clean and elegant, his appearance was upright, and he didn't look like an ordinary person.
The young man dressed as a domestic slave next to him had a fierce look on his face, and the hostility exuding from his bones was particularly frightening.
The combination of these two people made the surrounding people much weaker, and they could only shout a few times.
Everyone around them took two steps back, looked at Bai and Song, and whispered to each other, wondering who was coming?
Niu Daxiang has a good reputation, but he has never left Mang County.
People in Jixian County may have heard of Niu Da, but no one has seen it.
Needless to say, Bai Song, like Niu Da, never left the small county.
People come and go in Jixian County, and merchants from all over the country come and go like water. Who would recognize them?
Several young masters came to Lu Hai to wipe their faces, but asked in a low voice: "Where did they come from? Do they even dare to beat Mr. Lu?"
"I don't know... I've never seen him before. Judging from his appearance and demeanor, he doesn't look like an ordinary person."
"Master Lu, do you want me?"
Lu Hai regained his composure, his pretty face turned red with anger, he pushed everyone away and said angrily: "You bunch of losers, get out of the way!"
After that, he pointed at Bai Song: "Who are you?"
"White Yutang in Sichuan!"
Bai Song proudly raised his chest, flicked the folding fan on his waist, and opened it gracefully. Regardless of the cold winter, he fanned himself coquettishly.
With that demeanor and temperament, he was clearly a dashing young master.
With their outstanding appearance, how could Lu Hai and others compare with Bai Song? In an instant, it became the green leaves supporting the red flowers.
People were passing by on the official road, passing by a carriage carrying a young lady from an unknown family. The curtain on the carriage was lifted up by a delicate hand. The girl inside looked at Bai Song and was mesmerized.
The young man who had not seen the jade tree facing the wind for a long time also saw him. His face turned red and he giggled shyly. He lowered the curtain and threw out a handkerchief. It was blown by the wind and landed not far away from Bai Song.
Bai Song pointed at the opportunity, hummed, and said lightly: "Niu Chongtian, go get it for me."
"Niu soaring to the sky..."
When Niu Da heard his new name, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
But we had already agreed in the car when we arrived that when we arrived in Jixian, everyone would have to change their identities, and everything would have to depend on the situation.
Bai Song had already spoken, but Niu Da didn't know what to say. He lowered his head, picked up the handkerchief, and held it up with both hands: "Young Master."
Everyone looked at Bai Song's coquettish show, put away the handkerchief, and then looked at Lu Hai.
Lu Hai was stunned for a moment before he remembered the home Bai Song reported earlier.
"Sichuan Baiyutang?"
"Sichuan... Master Lu, is he a young master from the Sichuan-Sichuan area?"
"Bai Yutang? How come I've never heard of it..."
Bai Song sneered and fanned: "Humph, you little country folk, how do you know that I am the Bai family in Shuzhong? Not to mention you, a young disciple, even the young master of the Zheng family, Zheng Xingzhi, stands in front of me and wants to give me something." Young master, behave yourself. I hate those bullies who use their power to bully others the most in my life. Today I am just teaching you a lesson. If you continue to run rampant in the city in the name of aristocratic family, what I will pour on you will no longer be water, but oil. .”
After saying that, Bai Song put away his fan and said, "Niu Chongtian, let's go."
Watching Bai and Song shake their heads and walk away.
All the spectators were a little confused. They only said that this young master was so handsome.
And that slave has a very arrogant name, which makes him hard to mess with.
"Master Lu, just... let them go?"
Lu Hai didn't hear anyone speaking, and he was still frowning in thought: "Bai Yutang...Sichuan Bai family...what is the origin?"
"Master Lu..."
"Mr. Lu...what are you thinking about?"
"No...it's nothing...you all listen carefully. Don't reveal anything about what happened today. If I hear any rumors in the future, I will make sure you look good."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
"As for Bai Yutang, I'll ask the teacher when I get back."
…
"Master Bai, aren't you afraid of being exposed? The Bai family in Shu... can people believe this?"
Bai Song played with the handkerchief of the previous lady and replied with a smile: "You know the details, so you find it ridiculous. But outsiders can't figure it out. Sichuan and Youzhou are thousands of miles apart. How can people in Youzhou know the difference between Sichuan and Sichuan?" Something? As long as you don't show any cowardice, let alone the Bai family, just say you are the Niu family in Shuzhong, they will also...no, no, no, Niu...cow shit..."
The two of them talked all the way and entered the city one after another.
Arriving in Jixian, Bai Songfang felt like he was immersed in a thousand-year-old ancient capital.
The bluestone long street stretches straight from the city entrance to no end. The street is extremely wide, enough for dozens of horses to run parallel.
The quaint attic that comes into view also has a Tang-style structure. The large and small courtyards are all surrounded by blue bricks. They are located on one side of the city, dividing the county into squares. At a glance, there is no fence in sight, and everything is obviously expensive. gas.
The three-story restaurant closest to the city gate is a vermillion lacquer-dyed gallery, which is decorated with colorful silks and lanterns, all of which are carefully crafted and decorated just right.
It also reflects the lively atmosphere of the restaurant, with customers coming and going at the door in an endless stream. Just looking at the costumes of the diners, compared with Mang County, it really feels like going to the city.
There are more vendors on both sides of the street, and they sell more things. They are so dazzling that you can’t even take a look at them.
"This is called the ancient capital!" Bai Song looked around the ancient city and felt proud. He patted Niu Da on the shoulder and said, "If the Zheng family is destroyed in the future, I will settle my family here."
Niu Da smiled bitterly after hearing this, thinking that he still didn't know whether this trip would be a blessing or a curse.
When entering a city, you must first consider where to stay.
Bai Song came out with twenty taels of silver. Even in Jixian, I believe he can squander it for a while.
Staying in an inn, after asking around, the average price is 150 yuan a night.
Bai Song didn't know how long he would stay in Jixian. He first opened two rooms in an inn near the Zheng family. If he didn't have enough money in the future, he could think of another way.
Bai Song's plan was to ask Niu Da to open up connections on the roads in Jixian County. He would first go around the streets and alleys to hear the news about the Zheng family, and he might be able to find inspiration from some casual news.
If you want to find out about the Zheng family, you naturally have to live close to the Zheng family.
But Bai Song was also worried. If he directly guarded the master's house, it would be very troublesome for him to be recognized by the master's family in the future.
So Bai Song lived near a family on the side of the Zheng family.
The two rested in the inn for half a day, had enough to eat and drink, and then went their separate ways.
Niu Da left first, and Bai Song stayed in the room to take a nap for a while, then went out at dusk.
It was a coincidence that as soon as Bai Song went out, he saw a girl dressed as a maid taking some wine and food from the counter and leaving. The shopkeeper said to greet Mr. Zheng for him.
Bai Song walked over calmly: "The maid from the Zheng family opposite?"
The shopkeeper knew that the young master was going to stay here for a long time, so he was very polite and said with a smile: "Yes."
"Zheng, don't you have good food? Do you still want to come to your store to get food?"
When he mentioned this, the shopkeeper became interested and lowered his voice and said to Bai Song: "This Zheng family is a side branch, and I don't know what kind of relationship it has with the master of the Zheng family. I lived in hardship for ten years, and I retreated for a few years before I came to Jixian. Acknowledged marriage. In Jixian, if you have a relationship with the Zheng family, will your life be bad? No, how big is the house?
But after all, this person was born into a lowly family and could not live a noble life. Especially the young master and the young lady inside can't stand the rules of the big family. The previous meals were actually pork knuckles roasted in sauce, which was the favorite of the young lady there. I guess it's because I couldn't eat good meat when I was a kid, so I have a soft spot for this kind of pork. Think about it, how can the Zheng family eat pork?
For this matter, the young lady has been scolded by her parents countless times, but she still can't control her mouth and calls the maid to buy it secretly every day. Tsk tsk... Do you think it's strange that girls from upper-class families don't eat good meat, but they come to eat the rations of us lower-class people? "
Bai Song's mouth watered when he heard the pork.
He had never seen pork or beef since he came to Datang, but he loved both of them.
I never thought that this inn still sells pork. Without waiting for the shopkeeper to say anything, he quickly said: "I'll also get two of the sauced pork knuckles."
The shopkeeper was confused. He looked at Bai Song and said to himself that this young man was handsome and well-dressed. He looked like a young man from a wealthy family. He had never heard of such a person eating pork.
A young lady from the Zheng family was an eye-opener, and today there is another eldest son from Sichuan and Sichuan.
The shopkeeper rubbed his head, thinking that there were so many rare things in the world.
Bai Song changed his mind and waited to eat the pork knuckle, his mouth watering just thinking about the taste of collagen.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the shiny soy pork knuckle was served.
Smell it, the aroma is so fragrant, I don't know how much better the chef's skills are than Sanyuan Restaurant in Mang County.
The shopkeeper was curious and wanted to see what our young master looked like eating pork knuckle, so he put down his work on the counter and walked over.
"Sir, how do you feel about this pig's knuckle?"
Bai Song was about to eat when he suddenly frowned and felt something was wrong.
"how?"
Bai Song didn't answer. He dipped his chopsticks into the thick sauce and put it on his mouth to lick it.
"This...what kind of sauce is this?"
The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously: "It's our secret bean paste, specially made by roasting pork to suppress the irritation of the meat."
Bai Song was surprised and happy, feeling that he had discovered a new world.
The taste of this bean paste is very similar to soy sauce. Could it be that soy sauce was already available in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not recorded in the history books?
No matter what, unexpected surprises are the best spice in life.
For a moment, Bai Song forgot his confusion about the unknown and became more curious about the world of Datang.
It's a pity that I have something to worry about now. Otherwise, I would definitely have a chat with the chef tonight over wine.
