Su Yang nodded, and the girl led the two of them into the tavern.
Apart from the guests sitting outside, the inner courtyard was still bustling with activity, though much more subdued than the outside. Everyone was laughing and toasting, with very few engaging in loud conversations; most people were still observing proper etiquette.
Soon, the girl led Su Yang and his companion to a table.
It must be said that the environment here is indeed very nice. The inner courtyard is separated by plants and potted plants, and you can hardly smell the alcohol. You can also appreciate the bonsai in your spare time, which is quite nice. Moreover, the surrounding area is clean and tidy. Just the first impression gives people a very good feeling.
At this moment, the young woman politely inquired, "What would you two like to order?"
Su Yang was too lazy to think: "Bring up your signature dishes, and also four jars of your best wine!"
The girl smiled and nodded: "Alright, please wait a moment, we will prepare wine and dishes for you right away."
After saying that, the girl quickly retreated.
It must be said that although there are many people here, the efficiency is not lacking at all. Almost every person who greets guests is also the person in charge of each area, which ensures that the probability of deviation is very small.
Listening to the clinking of glasses and the cheerful laughter around him, Su Yang picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
It was at this moment that Li Zhong, who hadn't spoken since entering, quietly remarked, "This place is really chaotic."
Su Yang smiled faintly: "It's lively just as much, isn't it?"
Li Zhong shook his head: "Hmph, lowly people are not qualified to sit with me."
Li Zhong's voice was neither loud nor soft, perhaps that's just how he always spoke. After he said that, the surrounding noise seemed to quiet down a bit.
Su Yang said, both amused and exasperated, "I'll make an exception for today."
Li Zhong didn't speak, but just sat there with his arms crossed, slowly closing his eyes, like a wooden stake.
About fifteen minutes later, a man appeared carrying a large iron plate with many dishes on it.
"Gentlemen, this is our shop's signature dish, 'Overturning the Sea'!"
"This game is called 'Dragon Soars to the Nine Heavens'!"
"This dish is called..."
Soon, a variety of dishes were served, all of which were the best signature dishes of Qingjiu Restaurant. Each dish was unique in its presentation and the aroma was completely different from that of ordinary taverns. It was clear that the dishes were made with great care.
However, since it's in a tavern, the most important thing is naturally the alcohol.
That's why the last four jars of wine were kept as a last resort.
The man smiled and lifted the four jars of wine, saying, "Gentlemen, these four jars are Qingyang Wine, the most famous wine in our Qingjiu Shop! Speaking of Qingyang Wine, it has a very special meaning for our shop! It is because of Qingyang Wine that we are where we are today. Even experts from the Ziyang Sect or important figures from Jiangdu come here to drink Qingyang Wine!"
Su Yang laughed and said, "So famous? How does it compare to Jianghai Brewing?"
Upon hearing the name Jianghai Brewing, the man who delivered the wine was immediately speechless.
Jianghai Brew!
While ordinary people may not know this, for those of high status or those who are very knowledgeable about wine, the name Jianghai Brewing is naturally well-known.
The man said self-deprecatingly, "Sir, you flatter me. Although our Qingyang wine may not be as good as Jianghai wine, we dare to call ourselves second to none in the world!"
Su Yang nodded: "Then we should definitely savor it."
The man laughed and said, "Alright! Then I won't bother you two any longer."
After saying that, the man ran off happily.
Looking at the delicious wine before him, he had to admit that Qingjiushi truly deserved its reputation as the best tavern in Qinglin City. Su Yang didn't stand on ceremony; he never hesitated when it came to food, no matter the occasion. To put it bluntly, it was just his favorite.
I have a sweet tooth.
With each bite of the braised pork knuckle, the tender skin and meat are tightly wrapped in sauce. The soft, springy surface bursts with flavor as you bite into it, releasing a burst of deliciousness in your mouth as the rich broth inside interacts with the sauce poured on top!
This feeling is like taking a bite of ice cream on a hot summer day.
It was incredibly satisfying!
The two different flavors burst in his mouth, undoubtedly stimulating his taste buds. This braised pork knuckle is absolutely amazing!
"Even before, I've never eaten this kind of braised pork knuckle," Su Yang thought to himself.
Not only the pork knuckle, but the other dishes are also quite different.
Even the side dishes that come with the main course are crisp and refreshing, and after eating them, you won't feel greasy at all after eating the meat you just ate. You can even eat a few more bites.
"This dish is really good!"
Su Yang made his assessment, and at the same time opened a jar of Qingyang wine that was placed next to him.
A jar of Qingyang wine isn't very big, only about two jin (1 kg). Su Yang simply didn't need a cup and took a swig directly from the jar.
The delicious flavors of the dishes that filled my mouth instantly became even more intense after the fermented rice wine rolled in, stimulating every taste bud in my mouth. A warm sensation went down my throat, accompanied by a surge of heat that rushed into my mind, as if my whole body had been liberated.
"happy!"
Su Yang put down the wine jar and laughed loudly.
Only then did Su Yang notice Li Zhong standing to the side, whose bowl and chopsticks had not been moved at all from beginning to end.
Su Yang patted Li Zhong on the shoulder and laughed, "Eat up, why aren't you touching your chopsticks?"
Li Zhong slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the dishes, and said, "They're just ordinary things, they don't increase my strength at all, why eat them?"
