Chapter 809: My cousin is reborn and wants to snatch my marriage (18)
The wife of Marquis Qi Yang had no idea what he was thinking in his heart. Anyway, she was so angry at her son's attitude that she took her anger out on Gu Shichu. She felt that none of the girls in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion were good. The elder one made her son a laughing stock, and the third one made her son go against her... They were all troublemakers!
So the matter of urging marriage came to nothing, and the mother and son started arguing, and neither could convince the other. The wife of Marquis Qiyang racked her brains to make Mingxun agree to choose a certain girl as his wife, but Mingxun insisted that he would not marry anyone other than Gu Shichu until his death. The wife of Marquis Qiyang was so angry that she would complain to Marquis Qiyang from time to time about her son and asked him to discipline his son well.
If Mingxun was a son who could be disciplined well, he would not have grown up to be a playboy. Marquis Qi Yang, who was caught between the mother and son, felt extremely miserable.
In any case, Mingxun's marriage was at a standstill before the wife of Marquis Qi Yang compromised.
But Ming Xun was not in a hurry at all. He had set his eyes on Gu Shichu and wanted to get closer to her first. Apparently, he had not given up yet and wanted to worship Gu Shichu's imaginary mysterious master as his disciple.
He sent people to guard the gate of the Duke of Anguo's mansion. As long as he saw Gu Shichu going out, he would definitely approach him, regardless of whether it was appropriate or not. He was used to doing whatever he wanted anyway.
"Miss Gu San, where are you going now?" Ming Xun rode his horse, approached Gu Shichu's carriage with a smile, and asked the person inside.
Gu Shichu rubbed her forehead. She didn't expect that after acknowledging that she had a mysterious master, she would attract such a stubborn person who couldn't be shaken off. If she had known this at Furong Building, she would not have been so impulsive to expose her extraordinary skills.
Ming Xun didn't hear Gu Shichu's answer and wasn't angry. He continued to talk to himself: "I know a restaurant that specializes in roasted whole lamb. The lambs there are all transported from Liangcheng in the border area to the capital, and the chefs and waiters are all from Liangcheng. Therefore, the roasted whole lamb they make is the most authentic, without any fishy smell. The skin and meat are roasted to golden and crispy, and the meat is tender and tasty. Paired with a bowl of lamb soup, the taste is simply amazing..."
As Gu Shichu listened to Mingxun's description, he felt his saliva secreting more vigorously. Suddenly, a loud "gulp" sound of swallowing saliva was heard. Gu Shichu was stunned. Could it be that he was so greedy?
However, when he looked up, he found that it was Zhiqiu next to him. Her face was flushed with shame, and her head was lowered so low that she almost went under the car. Gu Shichu then realized that the sound of swallowing saliva came from her, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhiqiu was so ashamed that she covered her face. Gu Shichu coughed lightly, opened the carriage curtain, stuck his head out and said to Mingxun on the horse: "Where is that store? Take me there now."
Seeing that she finally paid attention to him, Ming Xun smiled even more brightly and agreed: "Okay, now is the perfect time to go and have them bake it!"
He took Gu Shi Chuqi and turned around many times, and finally arrived at an alley called Tonghua Lane. Before he found the shops, he smelled the rich aroma of barbecue, which aroused his appetite.
Even Gu Shichu, who had tasted countless delicious foods, felt that this fragrance was soul-stirring.
"We're here! Gu San, can you smell this fragrance? No, no, I can't wait any longer. I'll go and grab a seat first. You hurry up and follow me..." After Ming Xun finished speaking, he whipped his horse and rode away to the place where the alluring fragrance was coming from.
Gu Shichu quickly asked the driver to catch up.
Not only is good wine not afraid of a narrow alley, the smell of meat is also not afraid of a narrow alley. When Gu Shichu got off the carriage, he saw that the roast lamb shop was full of people. At a glance, it was all heads. Fortunately, they arrived in time, and Mingxun's servant took Gu Shichu to a table.
"Business here is so good that we have to wait a little longer for our roasted whole lamb." Ming Xun said to Gu Shichu, "We can eat some lamb offal and horse intestines first. These two foods are also very good."
Gu Shichu really saw the two dishes on the table. She tasted them respectively and her eyes lit up. Just as Mingxun said, the taste was great. She ate faster and faster. Mingxun saw this and hurriedly quickened his pace. In the end, he almost snatched the food from Gu Shichu.
After a while, the two plates of food were finished by them. Ming Xun quickly asked someone to bring two more plates, as he still wasn't satisfied.
"I didn't expect that a weak girl like you would eat more than a grown man. You ate more than me just now!" Ming Xun couldn't help but complain to Gu Shichu.
Gu Shichu glanced at him indifferently: "How can you see that I am a weak and fragile girl?"
Mingxun choked, and then he remembered her extraordinary skills. How could she be weak? He might even be weaker than her...
Mingxun couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
"How did you find this store? I thought only common people would patronize this kind of store. After all, the environment is not elegant and quiet enough, the food is not high-end and refined, and the other customers are rude and barbaric. Shouldn't a young man like you be disdainful to come here?" Gu Shichu asked curiously.
Ming Xun rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not one of those people who seeks fame and reputation by pretending to be cultured and sophisticated and even requires the winter snow to melt before washing hands. As long as the food is delicious, I don't care whether this restaurant is for nobles or common people. I'm so tired of being particular about so many things, how can I have the mood to enjoy the food?"
Then he said proudly: "I discovered this restaurant by chance when I passed by it one day. Although it is hidden deep, it still cannot escape the hands of a gourmet like me who has tasted all the delicacies in the world! Those diners who only pay attention to red tape and have a noble status do not have the same good fortune as me.
My parents have tried the roasted whole lamb in this store and they both say it's delicious. They often send people to buy it. Humph! If I hadn't told them, they wouldn't be able to eat it..."
Gu Shichu looked at the naive Ming Xun speechlessly. He just found a delicious restaurant. Is it worth being so proud?
It’s really worth it… When Gu Shichu saw the whole roasted lamb that was roasted to a golden and shiny state and exuded an enchanting aroma, she couldn’t help but think so.
"It's more enjoyable to eat it ourselves by cutting it with a knife than to have the waiter cut it and put it on the plate. Do you want to try it?" Ming Xun, who had already picked up a knife, asked Gu Shichu. He thought that a lady from a noble family like Gu Shichu would not be willing to use such a rude and barbaric method.
Unexpectedly, she picked up the knife without saying a word and cut the crispy skin on the back of the roasted whole lamb. With a crisp "click", the knife penetrated into the meat.
"What are you waiting for? I won't be polite." Gu Shichu glanced at the stunned Ming Xun and said.
Ming Xun reacted and immediately joined in without any hesitation.
The meat with skin on the outside is golden and crispy, while the meat inside is tender and delicious, with the refreshing flavor of lamb, which whets your appetite.
