Sheng Qi said: "I don't know either! I don't even know that old man!"
Yan Dong asked, "Do you still remember the man in the blue robe? We traveled together for two days before."
"Which one?" Sheng Qi thought about it for a moment, then was shocked: "That... is he the one with the surname Yang? Didn't he say he was the cousin of Yang Futai?"
Yan Dong smiled but didn't answer. Sheng Qi was amazed and told them about it. Han Yi couldn't help but said, "You don't want to stay in a good inn, but you have to hide in a corner. No wonder people are targeting you."
Sheng Qi said, "It's my uncle. He insists that if you want to understand the local customs and habits of a place, you must stay in someone's house... The last time I stayed at someone's house, their walls were cracked and the wind was howling. I almost froze to death."
This idea is probably similar to how modern people stay in homestays.
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Your uncle's idea is actually not wrong. But you have to wipe off the words on your forehead first."
"What words?" Sheng Qi wiped his forehead blankly: "There are words on my forehead?"
"Yes," Tang Shiyue said sincerely, "Fat sheep."
Sheng Qi: “…”
...
...
Han Yi laughed out loud.
The few of them were chatting very happily. When they arrived at the Sifang Restaurant, Tang Shiyue pointed with a smile and said, "The Sifang Restaurant is in front. It is the largest restaurant in town. There is an inn in the back. I heard there are some separate courtyards. They are quite big and clean. You guys go ahead."
Sheng Qi asked, "Young lady, what are you doing at Sifang Restaurant?"
Tang Shiyue said, "Let them try a new dish." At the same time, she directed Han Yi to pick up two jars.
Sheng Qi walked forward without hesitation, lifted the lid and took a sniff, exclaiming, "That's the smell! I smelled it as soon as I got on the carriage! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so shameless as to ask you to bring it back... I knew it must be delicious as soon as I smelled it! Did you make this?"
He was salivating: "It smells so good, can I have a taste?"
Han Yi pushed the jar back: "Don't let your saliva drip into it!"
He also took a look at it: "Wow, this meat is so shiny and oily. It looks delicious. Ayue, did you make this?"
"Can I buy one?" Sheng Qi held the jar towards him and asked, "How much is it?"
"Ayue," Han Yi took the jar back and said, "You are being disrespectful. Why don't you leave some good stuff for me?"
Tang Shiyue looked at the two people with their four hands on the jar in a childish manner, and silently held her forehead: "Hurry up and send the meat in! If you want to eat it, go home and eat it. Grandma left some for you!"
At the same time, he said to Sheng Qi, "If you want to eat it, go talk to the boss. It should be possible to pay a little more money. I just sent it here for him to try. If he likes it, I will send it back later."
Sheng Qi exclaimed, and with a sudden effort he hugged the jar into his arms: "Okay, I'll go talk to him right away!"
Tang Shiyue then returned to the car, "Xiaojiu, hurry up and leave, it's too late!"
Yan Dong stood with his hands behind his back, watching the carriage go away. Someone approached casually, and when they passed by, he moved his lips slightly: "Check this young lady."
"yes."
…………
The next day, Tang Shiyue continued to make Dongpo pork and then sold it all to Sifang Restaurant.
In this era, eating pork was not common, and most people still ate mutton. Especially this wild boar meat, which was soft and chewy, and the cooking method was fresh, it instantly became popular in the county.
Shopkeeper Shen came over and cautiously tested it.
Tang Shiyue now knew that Manager Shen was Huo Qijing's man, so he didn't ask for an exorbitant price. He just wrote down the recipe and gave it to him without saying a word.
This made Shopkeeper Shen, who had brought silver and was prepared to spend some time talking, flattered. He actually felt like he had finally received the love of his elders after going through so much hardship? ?
Some people from the village also came to learn, but Tang Shiyue thought about it and decided not to teach them.
The main thing is that she has taught the people in this village enough ways to make a living, and teaching them more may not be a good thing.
I did make a big pot of braised soup. If you want to buy it, you can come and buy the soup and go home to make braised pork. It's one more way to eat it than the common dried meat nowadays.
Moreover, Mrs. Ye had already learned how to boil eggs and bean curd in the broth without her teaching. Tang Shiyue was inspired by her and taught her how to make tofu puffs, which she would also cook in the broth.
The braising soup can also be used to cook noodles and soak rice, saving time and effort.
Just after lunch at home, someone knocked on the door and walked in very familiarly: "Mrs. Tang! We meet again!"
It’s Sheng Qi.
Tang Shiyue said: "The Suxian meat has been sent to Sifang Restaurant, didn't you see it?"
Because there was no Su Dongpo at that time, calling it Dongpo pork would sound strange, so she thought hard and decided to call it "Suxian pork". Su Dongpo was called Suxian, which has the same meaning as Dongpo pork, but after calling it that, everyone would definitely think it was Suxian pork.
"Yes, I have! We had lunch!" Sheng Qi said with a smile, "But then I thought, why should I wait in the restaurant? Why not come to your house and eat something fresh? Maybe there are other delicious foods?"
He smiled and looked straight into the kitchen: "Isn't it here? As soon as I smelled this, I knew it must taste good!"
He sniffed and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not the kind of person who can't stand the smell of anything. I can only resist when I smell something really, really good..."
Tang Shiyue thought to herself that your behavior doesn't mean that. She said, "I don't run a restaurant."
"Mrs. Tang!" Sheng Qi smiled flatteringly, "Please, I'm so sincere. I came all the way here. Just let me have a taste!"
"Oh, yeah, there's more!" He waved back, and the follower behind him brought a box. He handed it over with both hands: "This is a thank you gift for yesterday's incident. Then, let's be friends!" As he spoke, he opened the box.
Tang Shiyue raised the corner of her mouth.
This young master was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a dignified and free-spirited manner. It was obvious that he came from a very good family, but he did not bully others by taking advantage of his power. Instead, he was humble and begged for help in a proper manner, which pleased her very much.
Looking inside the box, there is a set of pearl head ornaments, which are not too exaggerated, but very delicate and suitable for a little girl. It is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into it.
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Okay, thank you then."
She accepted the headgear calmly, and then said, "Come in and sit down!"
Tang Shiyue cooked a handful of noodles in the braised soup, then served a bowl of braised vegetables and fried bean sprouts.
Because Tang Shiyue was very particular, the Tang family's home was kept clean and tidy everywhere. Even the tableware was specially prepared by her from the neighboring village. The dishes were round and plump, very special and cute. As soon as they were served, Sheng Qi praised them highly, saying they were the best in the world.
Tang Shiyue smiled, thinking that this child was very shameless for doing this just for his stuttering.
Then the two of them started to eat. Because there were a lot of braised foods at home, Tang Shiyue asked how many followers they brought with them and asked Mrs. Ye to bring out a large bowl for them to eat.
Before leaving, Mrs. Ye exchanged a glance with her, and soon, she called Huo Qijing over.
Their carriage was parked in front of the door, and several people were sitting at the stone table at the door, eating happily.
These people were all dressed neatly. It was a cold day, and they wore thin clothes, but they were not afraid of the cold at all. Their backs were straight, and they looked well-trained, not like ordinary guards.
Huo Qijing's eyes swept over them and he frowned slightly.
The person over there noticed it quickly and looked over. The two sides exchanged silent glances and then turned back as if nothing had happened.
When Huo Qijing came over, Yan Dong had already finished eating, but Sheng Qi was still eating. They greeted each other briefly.
Sheng Qi is a very sociable and talkative person. During the meal, he started to flatter people like crazy.
Even Tang Shiyue, who was used to hearing this, couldn't help laughing because of his amusement. So when he asked to stay here for a few days, Tang Shiyue agreed and arranged for them to stay in the martial arts hall's guest room with a wave of her hand.
After they left, Tang Shiyue quietly asked Huo Qijing: "Who do you think they are?"
