Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 351 Travel (3)
Yue Qing frowned and looked at him, "Yue Ke? Why are you here? Are you here to persuade me to go back?"
Yue Ke smiled in the car and said, "Young lady, you may have misunderstood me. I just finished doing some errands and was traveling with my friends. I didn't expect to meet the young lady here."
"Friends? Traveling together?"
"Yes." Yue Ke said and opened the curtain further. Shi Rong smiled and greeted her in the car: "Princess Yaxing, you actually took people out for fun today, and you didn't even say hello to Shi Rong. If you want to say there are any interesting places in Li Jing, I know better than anyone else." learn."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "How come you two got together again."
Shi Rong: "Young lady is really good at joking. Why are we getting together again? Brother-in-law and I are good friends. We often drink and chat together. Isn't it normal to be together?"
Yue Qing didn't choke him and looked at them thoughtfully.
Yue Ke looked at the restaurant in front of him: "Miss, are you hungry? Do you want to go in for dinner?"
Yue Qing also turned around and took a look and said, "I'm not hungry, but I just heard someone said there is delicious food here. I'm a little curious and want to go in and have a look."
Yue Ke said: "I have nothing to do anyway, so why not go in with the lady and take a look."
With that said, he jumped out of the carriage in two steps.
Shi Rong also jumped down.
Yue Qing asked: "Is Shi Rong okay?"
Shi Rong said: "If I don't go out with Yue Ke to relax, I can't go back alone halfway. Besides, I really have nothing to do."
Yue Qing looked at Yue Ke: "Relax, why are you relaxing? Yue Ke, do you still need to relax? It's not because you were angry with me yesterday, right?"
Yue Ke smiled and said: "No, miss, don't listen to his nonsense."
Shi Rong asked curiously: "It sounds like what happened yesterday when the princess said it? Why don't you tell Shi Rong."
Yue Qing smiled and scolded: "Why are you so curious? If you ask too many questions, you will get offended." After saying that, she walked towards the restaurant.
When everyone followed, Shi Rong was not angry and quickly hurried ahead of them to lead the way.
The waiter had sharp eyes and recognized Shi Rong at a glance. Just now, he thought that these people at the door had been standing here and affecting the business. Unexpectedly, they were actually friends of General Shi Rong. Fortunately, he didn't come forward to persuade him just now.
"Ouch, isn't this General Shi Rong? Why are you here free? Please come in quickly. These are your friends. Please come in. Da Zhuang, Shitou, go and lead the horses. Don't always Be stupid, be smart."
Several other waiters came up to them immediately. After the waiter finished his instructions, he welcomed them in while nodding and bowing to flatter them.
Shi Rong said: "Is your shopkeeper here? A distinguished guest is here. Let the shopkeeper prepare a private room and serve one of your signature dishes. The distinguished guest wants to taste it."
The waiter said quickly: "Okay, I'll call the shopkeeper right now. General, please invite me to the second floor. The private rooms are all on the second floor. Daming, hurry up and take the distinguished guests to the second floor." The waiter rushed as he rushed People shouted, arranging people to cook, and ran to call the shopkeeper.
Yue Qing looked at the waiter in a funny way, seeing that he was spinning like a top, and she admired him in her heart. This welcoming attitude made people feel right at home.
Shi Rong saw her staring at the waiter, "What are you looking at, Princess? Is there anything wrong with the waiter?"
Yue Qing came back to her senses and said, "Huh? Oh, there's nothing wrong with him. I just think he's too busy, spinning around like a spinning top. Are all the waiters in your store like this?"
Shi Rong suddenly understood that she was curious because he had never seen it before, so he explained: "This restaurant is one of the best in Li Jing. The business is very prosperous, so the waiter is naturally busy. Besides, it is open for business. , greeting everyone with a smile is the most basic common sense."
Yue Qing said in surprise: "Wow, you guys are really amazing. There is a word called "feeling at home," and this waiter is about to achieve it with just a few efforts."
Yue Ke muttered: "Feeling like a guest, um, good words."
Shi Rong said: "It's indeed a good word. The princess also knows how to do business."
Yue Qing said casually: "How do I know these things? They were all taught by my husband."
Shi Rong laughed: "Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Mo to know this."
Yue Qing boasted: "Of course, don't underestimate him. He knows everything from astronomy to geography, customs and scientific allusions. Otherwise, I can let him teach me."
Shi Rong nodded and said: "Well, I know a lot. I just don't know which category this business method falls into."
Yue Qing thought for a while and replied: "Of course it's the local customs and customs."
Shi Rong laughed loudly: "The princess' words are really interesting."
A few people came to the second floor while talking. The waiter named Daming took them to a private room called Yu He. When I walked in, I saw that the room was very well decorated. Poems and paintings are hung on the walls, and a few plants are dotted here and there. No matter what the material of the gauze curtain is, the color is beautiful. Several screens divided the room into three sections, and there was a piano in the small room inside. The tables and chairs are of the same mahogany color, with detailed carvings. The bright red tablecloth is neatly arranged. There are tea and melon seeds on the table. All the utensils are beautiful and plain white, and they are as moist as jade to the touch. There was also a thin blanket on the floor. With so many guests coming and going, it was still so new. It must have been replaced, taken care of, and cleaned frequently. The two windows of the private room are both open. On one side of the window, you can see the flow of people coming and going on the street, and on the other side, you can see the red lotus flowers and green willows in the backyard. The scenery is pleasant. It is indeed a private room.
Seeing Yueqing walking around the room, curious about everything, touching here and there, Shi Rong waited in a funny way for her to finish touching.
Turning to look at Yue Ke, he was already sitting at the table and pouring tea, looking like he was used to it.
After a while, Yue Qing came in with a smile still on her face. While walking this way, I looked around.
Yue Ke asked: "What do you think of this restaurant, Miss?"
Yue Qing came back to her senses, looked at him and smiled: "Well, it's quite beautiful."
The young shopkeeper of the restaurant came in and heard Yue Qing's praise.
He hurriedly walked away and cupped his hands and said, "Oh, a distinguished guest is coming to our door. How can we welcome him so far away?"
Everyone looked over and saw a young man wearing a satin robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a warm and shrewd face walking in. His purple outfit looked a little noble.
As he spoke, he walked around the screen and walked in, followed by the waiter who Yue Qing had noticed just now.
The little boy is holding tea in his hands.
The two of them walked into the private room. The waiter put tea on the table and poured tea for everyone one by one.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "We have just brewed the new Taihu Chunyu tea for all our distinguished guests to try. Our specialty dishes will be here soon."
Yue Qing looked at the cup of tea in front of her. She was not very good at tea tasting, and it didn't look as fragrant as usual. The color is quite transparent, and although it is a bit hot, it has a cool air. I think it must be a very good tea. After thinking about it, he picked up the cup and took a sip: "Well, it's sweet and delicious."
When the shopkeeper saw what she said, he smiled and said, "It's not in vain for me to come here in such a hurry to be praised by the princess."
Seeing Yueqing looking at him blankly, the young shopkeeper quickly introduced himself: "I am Qin Youdao, the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Restaurant."
"Oh, your surname is Qin too. I have met fewer people with the surname Qin recently."
Yue Qing said casually.
Shi Rong laughed.
I heard the shopkeeper say again: "The Prince of Qin who competed with the princess at the Shijia hunting ground not long ago is my elder brother. The princess doesn't know about me, but I have heard about the princess for a long time."
Yue Qing asked: "It must not be a good reputation, right?"
"The princess is joking. The princess is so charming that men like us are ashamed. Nowadays, the evaluation of the princess in Li Jing is very different. Nowadays, when everyone mentions the princess, she is a woman, so Many sons and daughters-in-law are yearning to see this heroic woman who dares to stand in front of all the heroes of the Li Kingdom and talk eloquently, and who speaks and does things neatly."
Yue Qing looked at Shi Rong and smiled and said: "Shi Rong, Prince Qin's younger brother is much more eloquent than him. If Prince Qin had been so smooth back then, I wouldn't have let anyone beat him."
Shi Rong smiled and didn't answer.
Qin Youdao: "I dare not compare with my brother. I am a bastard in the family. I can only do some small business. I cannot compare with my brother's contribution to the country."
Shi Rong: "You can still call this a small business. Brother Youdao is too humble."
After hearing what they said, Yue Qing asked: "What does the shopkeeper mean? Is he the owner of this restaurant? Shouldn't there be some kind of young master? In other words, since you are from the Qin Palace, then this restaurant is also the owner of the Qin Palace." It’s the palace’s property.”
Qin Youdao was already sitting next to him: "The princess is right. This restaurant is indeed the property of Prince Qin's palace. I am the shopkeeper of this restaurant and the young owner of this restaurant."
Yue Qing: "Wow, aren't you very busy? You have worked hard."
"Everywhere, all the affairs are left to the people under my command. I have been wandering around with nothing to do all day. I just ran wherever I needed to. But why does the princess have such leisure and elegance to come here today to enjoy the glory? "
"I, I just have nothing to do, so I came out to take a look around. Someone told me that your food is delicious, so I wanted to come and have a look."
"I see. I don't know who introduced it to the princess. I have to thank you very much."
Yue Qing said: "This is the old man selling sesame cakes across the street."
Qin Youdao didn't continue for a while, but paused for a while before saying: "Oh, oh. The princess is really, really approachable. She will even visit the booth of Sheng Dou Cao Min."
Yue Qing looked at him amusedly: "I'm curious. I want to see all kinds of people and things. Besides, these ordinary people in Shengdou also have their own way of living. There are all kinds of things in this world and all things in life. They all have their own ways. It’s wonderful. The more you watch, the more you know, the more you will understand your own ignorance and insignificance, and you will get exponentially more joy and pleasure from it. I think you can also communicate with them more, and maybe you can get something unexpected from them. What a harvest.”
Everyone froze on the spot, Yue Qing looked at everyone with confusion, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Yue Ke said: "It's not that I'm wrong, but what I said makes people think that you must have gone through many vicissitudes of life, and you don't look like a teenage girl. Haha, my young lady likes to watch some dramas on weekdays, and is curious about everything. Don’t be surprised, everyone.”
Yue Qing curled her lips and said: "I am telling the truth. The more you read, the more you will understand. You really make a fuss about everything."
Qin Youdao laughed dryly and said: "It seems that the princess must have read a lot of books and plays. She is not only a heroine but also a talented woman."
Yue Qing interrupted him: "What a talented girl. I can't even recognize the words, and I'm too lazy to learn. I usually let the teachers read to me. I've listened to them a lot, and I've been influenced a little."
Qin Youdao nodded and said nothing. Shi Rong shut up and said nothing.
In the midst of embarrassment, the waiter led a team of people to serve the food. Qin Youdao quickly invited everyone to try the store's signatures. Yue Qing also turned her attention to the dishes in front of her.
