Chapter 118 A time traveler like her?

"Li'er, are you hungry?" Helian Chi saw Yunli staring at a restaurant and thought she was hungry.

"Well, let's get off the carriage and go in to take a look! I'm quite interested in the food of Lanxi Country!"

Yun Li had a familiar and strong premonition in her heart, she had to go in to confirm

"Okay, let's go eat!"

Helian Chi nodded, lifted the curtain, and said to Anye and Anybai, "Find an inn nearby, leave the carriage and luggage there, and then meet here for dinner!"

An Ye: "Master, I ate a lot of snacks and I'm not very hungry now. How about I go find an inn by myself and let An Bai and Bai Zhi and the others go with me?"

Helian Chi nodded without saying anything more.

…

The four of them entered the Mankouxiang Restaurant. As soon as they entered, a woman with a hairpin and flowers on her head came to greet them. She looked at their clothes and found that they were not from Lanxi Country, but they were dressed in a low-key yet elegant manner. The woman and man walking in front were holding a baby in their arms. Their every move and gesture did not seem like that of ordinary people.

He smiled and said, "Dear guests, please come in. This is your first time visiting our Lanxi Country! The food in our shop is currently the most popular in Lanxi Country! I guarantee that you will want to eat more after you have tasted it!"

There was still some time before dinner, and there were only a few tables of customers in the restaurant. Yun Li observed the situation in the restaurant as soon as she came in. The waiters in the restaurant were all women wearing pink gauze skirts and hairpins.

The guests gathered around the table. In the middle of the table was a large iron pot with gurgling steam coming out of it. The food was taken out of the pot!

Isn't this the modern hot pot! Just now, when she smelled the spicy and delicious smell outside, her mouth suddenly flooded with saliva, reminding her of the hot pot smell that wafted through the streets and alleys when she traveled to Sichuan before.

A familiar smell, a familiar feeling! She couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that there was a time traveler like her who came here?

Now that you're in, let's take a look.

Yun Li asked: "Is there a private room?"

"Yes, the private rooms are all on the second floor. The nobles have their love on the second floor!"

The woman took a few people to a private room on the second floor called Orchid Pavilion.

Entering the private room, the elegant and refreshing decoration makes people feel refreshed. What catches the eye is a poem on the wall, "Bu Suanzi, Orchid!" It is a poem about orchids, written by a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The pines, bamboos, and vines are cold, the sun sets over the mountains and rivers. I am alone in the quiet path, and to whom can I tell this sorrow?

It seems to be speaking to the plum blossoms. There are still companions seeking fragrance. When you smell it carefully, it won’t smell, the fragrance is in the place where you don’t pay attention.

It’s not that she knows a lot about poetry, but she happens to only know this one poem!

It was her mother who loved to grow orchids. When she was little, she vaguely remembered that there were orchids of various varieties and colors at home. Her mother loved everything about orchids.

This poem was written by her mother when she was practicing calligraphy in the study. She ran over to her mother out of play and accidentally knocked over the inkstone on the table, and the ink spilled onto the rice paper. Her mother was angry and punished her to memorize this poem!

But this font is not as good as her mother's font!

"Sir, please take a seat! I'll bring you some tea later!"

"Well, thank you, let me see the menu!"

The woman smiled and said, "That's right, we don't use a menu when ordering in this restaurant! We use a set menu system! We have set menus of 28 taels of silver, 58 taels of silver, 88 taels of silver, 188 taels of silver, 288 taels of silver, and 388 taels of silver for customers to choose from."

The ingredients for each set menu are not fixed, and are freshly prepared with ingredients delivered to the restaurant daily. The ingredients vary according to the season! The minimum consumption for guests in the private room is 188 taels of silver!

My dear, which package would you choose after reading this?"

Yun Li's ears rang with a loud bang! A familiar routine! When the woman mentioned the set meal, she was even more certain that the person who came to this store must be a time traveler like her.

What the hell is going on in this world? Is time travel so easy now? She can even run into modern folks in ancient times?

Or has modern science developed to the point where one can travel through time at will as long as one has enough money?

Yun Li calmed down his thoughts, looked at the woman and said, "Give us a set meal for 388!

By the way, do you have a chance to meet your boss? I'm really curious about how he makes such unique food.

The woman smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you may not know that our boss is usually not in the shop, and we have never seen him! We have opened six Mankouxiang stores in Lanxi Country, one in each of the six cities!"

Yun Li then asked, "Oh? I see that there are more women working here. Is your shopkeeper a man or a woman? And when did your shop open?"

The woman shook her head and said, "Our shop owner is probably a woman. Every month, a woman comes to inspect the shop. She says she's close to the shop owner. We opened our shop at the beginning of last year!"

Yun Li waved her hand to signal the woman to leave. She had already asked all the questions she needed to ask, and she probably wouldn't know what to ask if she continued.

It opened at the beginning of last year, which means it's been open for almost a year and a half! Early last year, roughly speaking, it was earlier than when she traveled through time...

The dish was served soon, with a red soup base and a layer of unmelted butter floating on it.

The inside of the table is concave and convex, and there is charcoal fire inside. The soup base is boiled in advance, and it starts to bubble up after being placed on the charcoal fire for a while.

"Sir, would you like us to help you cook?"

Yun Li waved her hand and said, "No need! You guys go down!"

"Okay! Enjoy your meal, my dears! Call me anytime if you need anything!"

Yunli nodded

"Li'er, how do you eat this? Why are these vegetables and meat served raw?"

Yun Li was annoyed. "Just put these vegetables and meat into the pot and cook them! I forgot to ask you, is there anyone who doesn't eat spicy food... I forgot I should have ordered a shabu-shabu pot."

"It's okay, Princess~ We can all eat spicy food except for the prince!"

Helian Chi quickly glanced at An Bai and said, "It's okay, Li'er. I can handle spicy food, too! But won't eating something this red really make me feel irritated?"

Yun Li shook her head: "Hey~ Don't we have sesame oil? Pour it into the bowl and dip it in the food. It won't make you get irritated and it will also help with the spiciness!"

After saying that, Yun Li poured half a bowl of sesame oil to Helian Chi.

Then pour the vegetables and meat from the plate into the pot. To be honest, the variety of vegetables is very limited. They are just some common wild vegetables on the market, and a few herbs! Dandelion, sesame leaves, purslane, perilla leaves...

From this point, it can be concluded that this shopkeeper should not have the same extraordinary space as her.

After all, herbs are used as vegetables. It's really annoying.

Meat includes chicken, lamb, beef, pork, etc., as well as tofu and tapioca flour.

Yunli picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth. The taste was not good. It was not as good as the hot pot base made in her space.

But judging by her taste, it must be delicious here!

It can be felt that the shopkeeper is very attentive. He used herbal tea with heat-reducing effect to make the soup base, as well as some nourishing herbs.

It seems that this shopkeeper knows a bit about medicine.
