Chapter 626: Not Drama Enough

There was a long street in front of me, which looked just like the streets outside. There were two rows of snack shops and food stalls, with various signs and flags high and low. The hawking voices with local accents rose one after another, and the aroma wafted over in waves.

There are also many "pedestrians" walking back and forth in the middle, making it very lively.

Xinbao's eyes sparkled, and his mouth was drooling. He was so hungry at that moment: "Yeah yeah yeah yeah!!"

At the front stall, the eunuch dressed as an old man swallowed his saliva and summoned up the courage to greet, "Old man, would you like some fried stewed meat?"

The voice had a strong rural accent. If it weren't for the high-pitched sound of a eunuch, it would have been no different from the voice outside.

Emperor Mingpei nodded: "Okay, give me one."

The eunuch immediately served a portion, saying, "My stew is made from mung bean flour. It can be mixed, fried, or stir-fried. It's smooth and tender, and it's sour, spicy, salty, and fragrant... Since you're bringing a little girl with you, I didn't add any chili. Try it and see if it's okay. If it's not tasty enough, I'll add more ingredients for you."

Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "Okay."

The eunuch handed it over with a smile on his face, saying, "Four cents for this."

The eunuch behind him hurriedly paid the money, and Emperor Mingpei took it, sat on the small stool next to him, and tasted it.

This one is fried. The outside is slightly crispy and salty, while the inside is smooth and tender. It tastes really good.

He turned his hand to feed his granddaughter. Xinbao held his wrist and opened her mouth to eat. The taste was like jelly, and it was quite delicious when fried. But she was hungry at the moment, and she didn't feel full after eating it.

While Xinbao was eating, he looked around with his big eyes and said, "Yeah, over there!!"

Emperor Mingpei handed over the stew he had taken two bites of and continued walking forward while being pulled by her.

After the group of people walked away, the eunuch quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and he was really sweating all over.

The next shop makes small sesame cakes. They are small, sweet and salty, with sesame seeds roasted until slightly yellow, and have a fragrant aroma.

Xinbao ordered dishes generously: "No mutton! I want one of each of the others!!"

"Okay!" The eunuch packed it for her quickly, wrapped them one by one with oil paper, and put them in a basket. Emperor Mingpei sat down again, and ate a bite himself and fed Tuanzi a bite.

When I bit the dumpling into my mouth, I breathed out breathlessly because it was so hot. I chewed it a few times and blew on it with my mouth. It was so hot that tears came out.

Emperor Mingpei said: "Why are you in such a hurry? Eat slowly."

Tuanzi nodded and swallowed it, then took another small bite. While eating, he glanced at the basket and reached out to take one for himself.

But the small sesame cakes just out of the pan are still quite hot. Adults don’t feel it, but children’s hands are tender and they get burned when they pick them up.

The young eunuch behind was so frightened that he almost knelt down on the spot.

Yuan Shenjue came over and got it for her. Xinbao took a bite and motioned for him to get another one.

Yuan Shenjue could only hold one in each hand. Yan Shichang saw this and came over, took one in each hand, shook out the oil paper, and let his sister bite it.

Xinbao finished eating the one over there, then turned to this side and took a bite of one.

After tasting all five, she turned back and took an extra bite of the one she thought was delicious. She also pushed Yuan Shenjue's hand to let Mingpeidi: "Yeah, Xinbao will help you taste it! This one is the most delicious!"

Emperor Mingpei hadn't finished his meal yet and glanced at her with a raised eyebrow.

Before she could say anything, she turned around and taught him, "Yeah, you have to learn to share. Look, Xinbao has eaten five kinds of food and tasted five different flavors, but you haven't finished any of them and only tasted one flavor. How uneconomical. You could obviously take a bite and give it to others. Maybe Manager Fang would want to try it too."

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

Fang Wuyou smiled awkwardly in the back... To be honest, he really wanted to try it, but it was already dinner time, and if he couldn't get a bite now, it would take at least an hour for the emperor to finish playing. The next moment, Emperor Mingpei gave him the remaining half.

Then he took his granddaughter's recommendation, took the one she had taken two bites of, and tasted it as well.

Seeing that his sister didn't want to eat anymore, Yan Shichang stood up, put the two small pancakes together, and ate them all in two or three bites.

Xinbao grabbed his brother's clothes with one hand and said, "Let's go eat that!"

Yan Shichang nodded, "Give me a four-flavor siu mai!!"

"Okay!" The eunuch quickly served him a portion, which included four steamed dumplings with four different flavors. The fillings could be seen on the flower-like mouth.

Xinbao leaned over his hand to look at it, picked one, leaned over and blew it hard for a while. When he got tired, he fanned it with his little hand for a while, and then took a careful bite.

She tasted it and took another bite.

When Emperor Mingpei tasted the second pancake and walked slowly to the shop to sit down, Xinbao had already tasted the rest. Yan Shichang ate the rest one by one. Seeing him coming, he said to the boss, "Give me another one!"

While holding it to Emperor Mingpei.

Emperor Mingpei held the shaomai, took a bite, and when he turned around, his granddaughter had already run away.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After two stalls, Tuanzi and his brother, the eat-as-you-go crowd, left Mingpeidi and Yuan Shenjue, the more refined crowd who had to sit down before eating wherever they went, far behind.

Emperor Mingpei glanced at Yuan Shenjue.

Yuan Shenjue stopped eating and stood up and followed from a distance.

Although there is no danger here in theory, what if? Hao Huashi came over from behind, took Mingpeidi's arm, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Grandmaster, I will take you around."

Emperor Mingpei did not refuse and let him support him. Hao Huashi introduced the food to him as they walked, and let him try anything he liked.

Tuanzi and her brother in the front completely let themselves go and ate as they walked.

The two men, one tall and one short, had a huge height difference. They each held a bowl and ate while walking, and their backs looked quite funny.

Although this street was built temporarily, it is quite long. There are more than a hundred imperial chefs and inner court chefs here, each of them serving a different kind of snack, with a variety of meat, vegetables, salty and sweet dishes. There are also things that are available outside, as well as tea shops and fruits. It is much better than a real snack street.

Xinbao ate five or six kinds of food in one go, including a whole piece of barbecue. He felt a little sick of it, so he found a fruit stall to sit down and eat some fruit.

The fruit stalls had watermelons, grapes, pears, changchu and so on. All kinds of fruits were mixed together and placed in crystal bowls. Although this was not the way they were sold in the folks, they were still sold in large pieces and bowls, trying to create a folk atmosphere.

Yan Shichang didn't like eating fruit. After drinking two cups of tea, he reached out and held a large bowl for his sister.

Xinbao stood up, leaned towards him, and drank two spoonfuls of juice from his hand.

The fruit spoon used was a small soup spoon with a round head. It was very large and convenient for drinking soup. As for eating the fruit pulp, Xinbao couldn't reach it from this side or that side... He turned the spoon three times but still couldn't get the food into his mouth.

She was still not concentrating, looking around with her big eyes, wondering what she would eat next.

As soon as he saw Madam Lin, Xinbao greeted her warmly: "Mother!!"

Mrs. Lin nodded and said in an unknown accent: "You are a very cute little girl! Don't call people by random names!" Then she turned and left.

Xinbao: “…”

She looked at her brother silently.

I often feel out of tune with you because I am not dramatic enough.
