Not long after, Zuo Ning in Jianhu Inn waited for a Yanzhou-style dish served by shopkeeper Lao Zhang, which was roasted lamb leg.
Looking at the expressionless old shopkeeper who looked like he didn't care about anything, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth in front of Lao Zhang.
Then he was surprised to find that the roasted lamb leg served by shopkeeper Zhang not only tasted very authentic Yanzhou flavor, but also the dish was almost impeccable in terms of texture and taste.
"Shopkeeper, your leg of lamb is quite flavorful. There's nothing to say."
Zuo Ning couldn't help but praise the old shopkeeper standing by, saying,
"If I hadn't known that I was in the capital now and relied on this dish, I would have thought I was still in Yanzhou."
After hearing the praise spoken by Zuo Ning himself, the originally expressionless Lao Zhang finally showed a smile:
"Just get used to eating, Shunzi, bring the tea."
Not far away, a young man who was clearing away the leftovers on another table heard Lao Zhang’s words, raised his head and responded:
"right away!"
"Thanks."
Zuo Ning smiled and thanked the young man who was called Shunzi by the old shopkeeper, which made Shunzi feel a little embarrassed.
"No, no, it should be."
After saying that, he returned to the kitchen with a plate of groceries. Not long after, he took a pot of tea and put it on Zuo Ning's table:
"Sir, please use it slowly. If you have any questions, just ask."
Shunzi gave Zuo Ning a simple smile, and then continued to help shopkeeper Zhang clean up the chores in the shop, and went about his business.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, I'd better have a pound of soy sauce beef, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
At this moment, a rough voice broke the tranquility inside the Jianhu Inn, making Shunzi, who had been busy, stiffen and become more reserved. But other customers in the store seemed to have grown accustomed to it.
After the voice of the person outside fell, a middle-aged man wearing a blue python-patterned brocade dress and a jade belt around his waist walked into the inn with a hearty laugh.
This middle-aged man is not only dressed gorgeously and looks distinguished, but he also wears a dark golden sword on his waist. On the scabbard, there is a string of cyan tassels that sway with his steps. , two flawless jade beads make crisp collision sounds from time to time.
In public on the street, those who can show off their weapons are all top dignitaries with proud status.
Zuo Ning recognized the sword worn by this middle-aged man.
Nine of the ten most famous soldiers in the world, Qing Xiao.
Since becoming famous, this sword has been in the hands of the Shen family in Qingzhou, now the royal family.
This man looks strong and strong, with strong energy and blood without any restraint. He is bold and bold, and has a short beard, so his identity is naturally obvious.
"I know, you can just sit somewhere and know how to order me around."
The visitor still laughed:
"Why, I didn't give you any money?"
Lao Zhang ignored this ruthless character. After rolling his eyes at the visitor, he turned around and returned to the kitchen.
Seeing that Lao Zhang ignored him, the visitor looked around and locked his eyes directly on Zuo Ning. Then his originally relaxed eyebrows tightened, and his sharp gaze made Zuo Ning next to him feel a little hairy.
"Why do you look so much like Zuo Tongjiang?"
"Reporting to the prince, I am Zuo Ning, and Zuo Tongjiang is my father."
This man is the current general, minister of the Ministry of War, and the emperor's younger brother, Zhennan King Shen Yunzhou.
Zuo Ning had seen the portraits of all the grandmasters in Daqing before coming here. This Zhennan King was the fourth top grandmaster on the grandmaster list, second only to his father.
Although this list is a list released by the government and is based solely on the wishes of the masters, it is not a list that covers all masters. For example, he and Lu Shuihan are not on this list. But according to the officially released data, Shen Yunzhou, who ranks fourth among the Martial Saints, is still very valuable.
As for why Shen Yunzhou came to eat in this small inn, as he seemed to be a frequent visitor, Zuo Ning had no idea.
"You are the only one who wants to marry my niece?"
Shen Yunzhou was not polite and directly pulled out the chair next to Zuo Ning's table and sat down with a golden sword. He looked at this evil boy who appeared to be elegant and easy-going and had peach blossoms in his eyes. In fact, he was the bravest of the three armies and had superb martial arts skills.
"Your appearance is indeed good. I heard that you led thousands of troops to defeat Bei Liao several times?"
After pouring a cup of tea for the future elder, Zuo Ning replied humbly: "I just cooperated with my father to break the formation a few times, which is not enough. I only have good martial arts skills, so I can assume this important position in the army and be able to lead the army." Not half as good as the prince and father."
Shen Yunzhou took the teacup handed over by Zuo Ning and said cheerfully:
"You are humble enough. Your father can lead hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but I am not as good as him. On the other hand, I am very optimistic about you. You will continue to take over your father's team in the future."
Zuo Ning has always been more concerned about defending the country, and he nodded.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
Shen Yunzhou didn't know whether it was because they were both warriors, or because Zuo Ning, like him, was a general on the battlefield who had been in the army for a long time and had achieved great military exploits. Shen Yunzhou looked at Zuo Ning more and more like him.
"When you arrive in the capital, why don't you go to the palace and why are you still drinking tea and eating leisurely in this small restaurant?"
Zuo Ning was also helpless. The first thing he did when he came in was to find Old Tang, and then enter the palace to meet the saint, but he didn't know the way! And it was already noon when we just walked out of Xiangqingshan, so why not have a meal first?
"just arrived."
Shen Yunzhou knocked on the table with his knuckles and said:
"Wait a minute, Gua Wazi, follow me. I know where Tang Yi bought the mansion. I'll clean it up and go to see the saint as soon as possible."
Now that Shen Yunzhou knows where his future residence is, he can just follow him later. The same goes for this prince, who has no princely airs at all and is just like a real charlatan.
There is a smell of Jianghu from head to toe.
"He is such a virtuous person. He was involved in the world when he was young, and he still can't change his original habits. He doesn't look like an important official of the imperial court."
Lao Zhang came over with a plate, and then said sarcastically to Shen Yunzhou:
"It turns out that you are Zuo Tongjiang's son. Back then, the man named Shen came to compete with your father every day. He was defeated and defeated every day..."
Hearing this, Shen Yunzhou immediately became unhappy. He snatched the small pot of soy sauce beef and the porcelain wine bottle from the plate and placed them on the table, half-snorting:
"An inch longer means an inch stronger, you know nothing."
