Chapter 125 New Discovery
A large bowl of mutton soup with chili oil, without any meat or bones, only a few thick slices of white radish and a few chopped green onions, but the aroma went straight into my nose.
The strong man couldn't help but mutter: "There really isn't even a scrap of meat left."
The waiter smiled confidently, "Sir, it's only three cents. Just look at these two big steamed buns, it's enough to cover the cost."
The strong man took one look at the steamed bun next to the bowl and was surprised: "It's really quite big."
Normally, one penny could buy a steamed bun, but it was much smaller than the ones in this shop. The waiter didn't brag, but these two steamed buns alone were worth three pennies, and the mutton bone soup was practically free.
It's a free gift, so what's there to pick on?
The strong man grabbed a steamed bun, took a big bite, and then drank a mouthful of mutton bone soup.
The soup made only with sheep bones is much clearer than the sheep soup made with bones and meat. This is also for cost control considerations, but it is still very delicious, especially with the addition of fragrant chili oil. It is spicy and fragrant in one gulp, and warms the throat to the stomach.
This spicy flavor combined with the big steamed bun is a perfect match.
The burly man slammed the table, startling the person who came in.
"It's so delicious!" he exclaimed excitedly and buried his head in eating.
The people who came in slowed down and shouted, "Waiter, give me a bowl of mutton bone soup."
"Okay!"
In a blink of an eye, the lobby was almost full.
For ordinary people who make a living by working, being able to eat enough is the most important thing. If they can eat enough and the food tastes good, then they would live a life like a god.
Affordable and delicious food is the most attractive to them.
In an inconspicuous corner, Lin Hao and Qi Shuo sat opposite each other.
"Would you like the mutton bone soup spicy or not?"
Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Spicy, it's cold and spicy food will warm you up."
Qi Shuo said to the waiter, "Two bowls of spicy soup and a plate of boiled mutton."
In addition to the cheapest steamed buns with mutton bone soup, the store also has boiled lamb, braised lamb, mutton dumplings and other foods to meet the needs of different customers. However, these dishes are expensive and I haven't heard anyone order them yet.
Soon the mutton soup was served. Lin Hao took a sip and sighed, "Isn't this a loss?"
I didn’t expect that Prince Jing not only knew many delicious restaurants, but the restaurant he opened was also so delicious.
"Even though we don't make much profit, we can still provide people with a full meal after a hard day's work."
Lin Hao glanced at the people who were either concentrating on eating or chatting while eating. They all had smiles on their faces, smiles that came from the heart.
A day of hard work and sadness can be relieved by having a good meal.
"The mutton is delicious too." Lin Hao praised generously.
"Would you like some garlic?" Qi Shuo pushed over a small plate of green garlic cloves.
Lin Hao struggled hard for a moment and shook his head: "I won't eat it anymore."
Garlic can relieve greasiness, but it also has a strong taste, so you have to be careful in front of Prince Jing.
Taking a look at the handsome and gentle young man, Lin Hao silently added: It doesn't matter who the other person is, you should be careful when eating raw garlic outside.
"Please eat, Prince." She pushed the small plate over.
The white porcelain is delicate, and it looks especially delicious on the girl's even more delicate fingertips. The green garlic cloves inside make people feel particularly delicious.
Qi Shuo also hesitated for a moment, then refused cruelly: "I won't eat it either."
The two glanced at the pickled garlic that looked delicious with regret, feeling a little reluctant.
"By the way, my mother likes to eat pickled garlic, so I will take a small jar with me when I leave." Lin Hao said seriously.
Qi Shuo smiled and said, "My second brother also likes to eat it, so I'll bring a jar with me."
After drinking the mutton soup, the two of them walked on the street, each carrying a jar of pickled garlic.
People walked along the street, most of them wearing contented and peaceful smiles. The first month of the year was a rare leisure time for the working people. Once the weather got warmer, the busy farming season would begin.
Therefore, there is a leisurely and lazy atmosphere on the street, just like Lin Hao who is full and satisfied at this time.
Qi Shuo changed the subject, breaking the idleness.
"Miss Lin, do you still remember that one time when you came back from outside and we happened to meet, and I said someone was following you?"
Lin Hao nodded: "I remember."
After drinking delicious mutton soup and carrying delicious pickled garlic, why did he suddenly bring up this?
Could it be that Prince Jing has set his sights on the teacher?
This made Lin Hao nervous.
Her teacher saved her life. Although she was working for Emperor Pingle, she didn't want her teacher to be in danger of his life.
Whether from a personal or patriotic perspective, she disliked Emperor Pingle. Publicly, Emperor Pingle had been relentless in his concessions, leaving cities still in Qi hands. Reclaiming the throne wouldn't be a good thing for the Great Zhou. Personally, she had died in her past life at the hands of Emperor Pingle's men, and her teacher had also died at his hands.
It was thanks to her teacher that she, a young girl, was able to know about national affairs.
Later, the teacher changed his mind about helping Emperor Pingle to regain the throne, which brought him disaster.
"Do you still remember that haunted house we abandoned?"
"Of course I have an impression." Lin Hao began to feel strange again.
What do you mean by the house we abandoned?
Qi Shuo lowered his voice and said, "I noticed signs of human activity in that house. I was curious, so I sent people to keep an eye on it. Sure enough, I discovered that someone would occasionally sneak into the house. Just yesterday, the person who went to that house was the one who followed you."
Lin Hao was surprised.
Is Prince Jing talking about Du Qing?
In other words, the house that was rumored to be haunted was most likely the place where Emperor Pingle's people met to discuss matters.
"What did the prince do later?" Lin Hao was surprised but asked without showing any expression.
"Nothing has been done yet." Qi Shuo smiled, his eyes falling on Lin Hao's face. "Except knowing that the man followed you, I don't know anything else. Let's take a look first."
"Oh, I see." Lin Hao changed to a portable jar of pickled garlic, not knowing what to say for a moment.
When she learned that Prince Jing had killed the fortune teller Fang Chengji with his own hands, she realized that Prince Jing was not as simple and harmless as he seemed.
He was a smart and low-key person, and if he said something unintentionally, it might expose the teacher.
Qi Shuo paused and moved closer to the girl, facing her slightly surprised eyes.
"Does Miss Lin know the person who is following you?"
Lin Hao was startled and subconsciously took a half step back, and his wrist was grabbed by a bony hand.
"Be careful not to fall."
Lin Hao lowered his head, there was a piece of gravel at his feet, then raised his eyes to look at the person next to him.
Qi Shuo had already let go of her hand and said in a casual tone, "Miss Lin Er is not someone who neglects her own safety. If she hadn't made up her mind about the person following you, she would have been interested in his situation."
Lin Hao tilted his head and smiled: "The prince is really observant."
Qi Shuo was silent for a moment, not knowing whether Miss Lin Er's words were a compliment or sarcasm.
"If Miss Lin Er is confident that the other party will not harm you, then let's wait and see what happens for the time being." Qi Shuo changed the subject naturally, "The Lantern Festival is coming soon. Will Miss Lin Er come out to play?"
