Chapter 159 Absurd
After choosing the inn, Zhu Huaizhen discovered that there were countless absurd little things.
"Ladies, you don't look like you are from Southern Chu." The innkeeper narrowed his eyes and smiled with his face but not his eyes.
"No, I'm from Southern Yan." Zhu Huaizhen answered straightforwardly.
Southern Wu has been destroyed, so there is no need to remember it all the time. She couldn't save Southern Wu anyway.
"Ladies, would you like to get married?" asked the innkeeper.
"It's all settled. One is my wife and the other is my dowry." Lou Li smiled coldly.
"Oh, that saves us the trouble." The innkeeper finally smiled more naturally.
"What trouble?" Zhu Huaizhen leaned close to Lou Li's ear and asked quietly.
This intimate behavior was naturally seen by the innkeeper, who felt relieved.
"There is an unwritten rule in Nanchu that unmarried girls must wear a veil when they go out." Lou Li shook his head and laughed.
"What a shitty rule." Zhu Huaizhen muttered, yawning repeatedly.
Forget it, eat and drink enough before going to sleep.
So, Zhu Huaizhen excitedly called the waiter to bring the menu.
Oh, she wants to eat Dongpo elbow, lotus chicken, steamed pork with rice flour, roasted tendon, drunken spareribs, pickled fish, hugged carp, fried shrimp balls, fried fish fillet, grilled venison... Her mouth is watering just thinking about it.
By the way, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a must.
Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.
However, when Zhu Huaizhen looked at the menu, he felt unwell.
What the hell, it's all just sloppy.
Does Zhu Huai really have no money to eat meat?
Mulberry leaf sprouts in a superior soup, wolfberry sprouts in a superior soup, soybean sprouts in a superior soup, locust leaf sprouts in a superior soup, toon sprouts in a superior soup, fern salad, fern salad, shepherd's purse and tofu soup, cocklebur leaf soup, fried water spinach...
"Sir, we have laws in Nanchu that require us to eat only vegetarian food on the first and fifteenth days of every month. Please forgive me." The waiter bowed.
"Zhen'er, the soup should be the specialty of Nanchu, why not try it." Lou Li curled his lips and smiled, his eyes full of doting.
For Lou Li, there is no difference between eating vegetables and eating meat, they are both just to fill the stomach.
"Let's serve the soup with wolfberry sprouts." Zhu Huaizhen said sullenly.
In fact, she prefers mulberry leaf buds.
However, mulberry leaf sprouts are not delicious after the season is over.
"Your Highness, please order a few more dishes. If one dish is not enough, we won't order more." Tu Mi said with a smile.
Tu Mi believes in Zhu Huaizhen and takes eating seriously.
Zhu Huaizhen had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a look at the menu.
Then let’s have a Luohanzhai.
Luohanzhai is a dish that combines eighteen kinds of ingredients, namely mushrooms, black fungus, bean curd sheets, ginkgo nuts, tofu, bamboo shoots, yam, lotus seeds, chestnuts, etc., and adds the unique flavor of fermented bean curd. It has a salty and fresh taste and should be eaten with rice.
"By the way, you guys know how to make shepherd's purse and tofu meatball soup here, right?" Zhu Huaizhen held up his rosy cheeks, looking listless.
After hearing this, the waiter nodded quickly.
The shopkeeper has instructed that on the first and fifteenth days of every lunar month, when the shop opens for business, he will try his best to take care of the customers' feelings.
After Luohan Vegetarian Food, Goji Berry Sprout Soup, and Shepherd's Purse, Tofu and Meatball Soup were served, Zhu Huaizhen was ready to start eating.
As a result, Zhu Huaizhen realized belatedly that the waiter did not bring the chopsticks.
Oh, this is a bit tricky.
"Sir, we in Nanchu have laws that require us to pray to the gods and Buddhas before eating vegetarian food on the first and fifteenth day of every month." The waiter said with an apologetic smile.
"Which god or Buddha?" Zhu Huaizhen rolled his eyes.
"It can be the god or Buddha in the guest's heart." The waiter said with a smile.
