Chapter 159: A blessing or a curse
A few people walked all the way, ate all the way, played all the way, time passed quickly, it was noon in a blink of an eye, a few people found a restaurant, found a private room to sit down and order food, the restaurant pomp was not small, but the dishes were really not flattering, Su Jin's mouth and stomach could not tolerate this kind of shoddy food, so when everyone raised their mouths to eat, Su Jin couldn't eat a bite.
Aunt Zhao observed the words and looks, and saw Su Jin sighing secretly, so she said: "Sigh when eating, the food is not satisfactory, the little official is afraid that this dish is not quite right." ”
Su Jin smiled: "It's okay, you can eat, I ate a lot of snacks in the morning, and I'm still full." ”
Xiao Sui'er put down her chopsticks and said, "What do you want to eat, otherwise let's go out and buy some and come back, if you don't eat it, you can't do it." ”
Huanniang also said: "Yes, the little thing I ate in the morning has long been exhausted, so I have to eat some anyway." ”
Su Jin waved his hand and said, "You don't care about me, eat quickly, there are still many places to play in the afternoon." ”
Aunt Zhao said: "Little official, if you don't eat, how can you play in the afternoon?" Didn't you say you were going to go to the Mulan Temple to see it? That's in the North City, far away. Why don't the slaves go out and get some newly listed Dongcheng Lake hairy crabs for the little officials to try? ”
Su Jin perked up and said, "Hairy crabs? This is good. Isn't there a delicacy on the market in the restaurant? ”
Aunt Zhao poked her head out of the box, looked at the restaurant guys who were busy shuttling, and covered her mouth with her hands and said softly: "Don't hide it from the little officials, the best one we should make for the hairy crabs in Tianfu is "Winding Liang Zhai"; Everything else can only be considered average. ”
Su Jin said with a smile: "What's the difference, it's nothing more than two kinds of steaming and braised boiling, what other tricks can be burned?" ”
Aunt Zhao said: "The little officials don't know, they are all steamed, but the difference is in the sauce, the sauce of "Winding Liang Zhai" is an ancestral old recipe, no one can reach it, the little officials sit down for a while, and the slave family will help you bring two back to taste it." ”
Su Jin suddenly realized, the fresh and delicious taste of the hairy crab is the same as the above sauces, which is called complementing each other, in the case of the same raw materials and similar steaming techniques, the quality of the sauce is the key, so he smiled: "There is a sister-in-law Lao, Sui'er will give some money to ask the sister-in-law to run an errand, and the eight people here will have sixteen." ”
Aunt Zhao couldn't help but be overjoyed, saying that she would say, but Aunt Zhang, the hairy crab of "Around Liang Zhai", had never eaten it, the key was that it was too extravagant, one two hundred wen, which would eat the food money of ordinary people for five or six days, how could Lao Jiang and his wife be willing to give it up, this time they were entrusted with the blessing of the little officials to be able to taste such deliciousness, and they must pack one and take it back to Lao Jiang to taste.
Aunt Zhao went with a smile, and after about a stick of incense, she suddenly rushed back with a pale face, her hands were empty, and she didn't even see a crab claw.
"It's amazing...... Aunt Zhao put the curtain on the door of the private room tightly, and gasped in a suppressed voice.
"What's the matter, Auntie, drink saliva and say slowly, is this a robbery?" Xiao Sui'er hurriedly handed over a cup of herbal tea.
Aunt Zhao poured down the herbal tea and said with a strange expression: "The girl said that she was joking, how can there be robbers in broad daylight." ”
Su Jin said: "Hit something, panic like this, talk about it." ”
Aunt Zhao first blessed a blessing and said: "Don't blame the little official, dare to ask the name of the little official, is it called Su Jin?" ”
Su Jin said in surprise: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Aunt Zhao said in an inaudible voice: "The slave family has just come out of the corner, and the officials all over the street are looking for someone, and the one who is looking for is a student of Yingtianfu Academy named Su Jin. The anxious hairy crabs didn't dare to buy them, and they stood aside and eavesdropped on the pedestrians on the street asking the officials, but they didn't hear a reason, so they didn't hurry back to report the news. ”
Everyone was stunned, the official was looking for Su Jin, this matter seems to be related to the government, is it because the matter of Luzhou is not understood? Governor Zhu sent an official document to respond to Tianfu to take Su Jin?
"Did the petty officials do something? That's how it can be good. Aunt Zhao rubbed her hands anxiously.
Xiao Sui'er also said anxiously: "What's going on, did you make an accident in the academy?" ”
Su Jin couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "What can you do, can you be convicted of studying and jujuing?" He stood up and said, "I'll go and see what I'm doing." ”
Aunt Zhao hurriedly grabbed Su Jin and said: "You can't go out, those officials are very vicious, Ying Tianfu is not the hometown of petty officials, and there is no one in the yamen to talk to." ”
Xiao Sui'er also said: "Yes, you stay here, the little maid will go outside to find out the news, and then talk about it after figuring it out." ”
Su Jin waved his hand and said: "No, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, I asked myself if I didn't violate the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and I was not afraid of shadows, wouldn't I shrink into the restaurant for the rest of my life and not go out?" ”
Huanniang also said: "What the prince said is right, you must always understand the merits, and hiding is not a way." ”
Xiao Sui'er glanced at Huanniang and said: "What you said is easy, in case the master is locked by the officials, you go to take the board for the master." ”
Huanniang blushed and said softly: "The slave family wants to, but I'm afraid that I won't have that blessing." ”
Su Jin smiled: "You are really worried too much, it will be fine, just go out with me." ”
Wang Dynasty Mahan and the others put down the chopsticks and said: "Whoever dares to touch a single hair of the master, first ask the grandfather's sand bowl big fist if he agrees." ”
Su Jin reprimanded: "Hugh is messing around, we are serious and good people, do we have a fight with the government officials?" ”
After that, he got up and lifted the curtain, and walked out of the restaurant to the street, only to see the sun shining brightly, the earth seemed to be on fire, and the pedestrians on the street hurried by, most of them were in the house or under the shade of the trees to take refuge from the heat.
Su Jin swept around, there was no trace of the servant, since he met Yan Biyun's car in the morning, his heart was filled with a depressed atmosphere, and at this moment he suddenly became erect, he just wanted to vent, and then he stood on the street and shouted: "Su Jin is here, who is looking for me." ”
The resting people in the shops on the street poked their heads out, looked sideways, and pointed and discussed.
Su Jin ignored it, shouted three times in a row, and after a while, he saw several officials rushing around the corner in front of him, shouting loudly: "Who calls himself Su Jin?" ”
Su Jin stepped forward proudly and said: "It is below, and below is Luzhou Su Jin." ”
The gang of officials shouted and ran over, looking very eager, Xiao Sui'er saw this, suddenly raised his arms and stopped in front of Su Jin, and said: "Dead little pillar, Zhao Hu of the Dynasty, don't you stop it?" When the officials come to lock people, they will eat, what do you want? ”
Su Jin shook his head with a wry smile, gently pushed Xiao Sui'er aside, and stepped up to meet him; A small leader in the government rushed to the front, grabbed Su Jin's arm, and the beads of sweat on his face rolled down and said, "I can find you." ”
Xiao Sui'er rushed forward like a tigress, shook the hand of the servant and said, "What are you doing?" If my son-in-law has committed any crime, you will lock him up. ”
The second monk was puzzled, and said in amazement: "Little lady, what are you doing?" Who said that he was going to lock him up, my brother and I came to find your son-in-law on the order of Lord Yan, how could I have said that I was going to lock him up. ”
Everyone was dumbfounded for a while, it turned out that Master Yan wanted to see Su Jin, but he couldn't find it, so he inquired all over the street, Xiao Sui'er blushed, let go of his hand and retreated.
The official rubbed his pinched arm and said, "The little lady has so much strength, I'm afraid this piece of skin and flesh is going to be bruised." ”
Su Jin hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Brother Tolerance has worked hard, I don't know what Lord Yan is looking for." ”
The official bowed back and said, "Childe told me to wait to find it, Lord Yan wants to see Childe, and specially ordered me to come and invite Master Su to the academy for a while." As for what it is, I don't know. ”
Su Jin knew that these were errand boys, and when the officials moved their mouths, these people were going to break their legs, and it was difficult for them to find themselves on such a hot street, so he thanked him again and again, and ordered Xiao Sui'er to take out the usual money and stuff it into the hands of the head of the government and said: "Brother Tolerance will take the brothers to drink some ice water to quench their thirst, this is tiring." ”
The leader of the official pretended to excuse himself, and then put the copper coin into his arms, and said: "So thank you Gongzi for seeing the reward, the car is waiting at the head of the stone bridge in front, so please move to the car."
Su Jin turned his head apologetically and said to Huanniang Xiaosui'er: "I can't play in the afternoon, you either follow Aunt Zhao to play, and I will make up for it next time." ”
Huanniang said: "Gongzi will go by himself, don't worry about us, when you see Lord Yan, you should be careful when you speak, if there is something to pass the word back from the small pillar, so as not to make us anxious." ”
Su Jin said: "Got it." With his palm stretched out, he made a gesture of please, and followed a few officials with a small pillar.
Everyone watched Su Jin walk away, and Xiao Sui'er sighed and said, "It scared me, it turned out to be a false alarm." ”
Huanniang smiled: "The princess has a lot of face, and Lord Yan wants to ask him to speak." ”
Xiao Sui'er asked, "Sister Huanniang, do you think it is a blessing or a curse for Lord Yan to invite him to meet?" ”
Huanniang said: "Didn't you see Yan Dong's car?" Maybe ......" said silently.
Xiao Sui'er stomped her feet and said, "Let's go back, the prince is not here, what's the fun, it's hot." ”
Huanniang said: "It's okay, let's go back, and come out to play next time." ”
The group was in a mood and called a car on the side of the road to drive back to Nancheng.
