As the sun went down, the lanterns and torches near the pier were lit, and they were even brighter than before. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info happily pulled Sun Erlang and Peng Sanshu dexterously through the crowd, like a loach, and arrived at the river after a while.

Pointing to a huge grass shed by the river, he said happily: "Third uncle, Erlang, there is a shop in Zhang Xianggong's house, which specializes in doing business next to the wharf." His food is delicious and cheap, let's try it. ”

Sun Erlang hesitated a little: "We countrymen, we can't eat good dishes in the city, don't go over to break the bank." It's better to find a small stall on the shore and have a casual bite to fill your stomach. ”

Festive smiled: "If you really eat well, I can't afford to invite you." The dishes sold in Zhang Xianggong's shop are the cheapest, and they satisfy their hunger, and the people who work here at the dock go to their shop to eat! ”

While talking, he pulled Sun Erlang and ran towards the river. Uncle Peng was afraid that he would lose the two of them, so he stretched his neck and watched carefully, trotting all the way, following the two closely.

When I arrived at the side of the shed, the little guy who was busy meeting the joy and said, "There are many people now, don't run around, be careful of falling on the ground!" Wait a minute, I'll find you a clean seathead. ”

He thanked him with a smile, and said, "Second brother, I brought a friend to be a guest today, you can find a quieter place." ”

The little guy responded, looked at Uncle Peng and Sun Erlang, stepped forward to salute, and asked the three of them to wait.

Xiqing said to Sun Erlang: "I have opened a new shop in Jianchun Gate, I am most familiar with the land here, and there is no one nearby that I don't know." If you come here again in the future, no matter what happens, it is a celebration to know the three shops, and everyone should give some face! ”

Sun Erlang stuck out his tongue: "It's only been a few days, and you're also a big man here!" ”

"Hey, everyone has to go to the Sansi shop to buy things, and when you see a lot, you will naturally become familiar with it, how can you also have three points of affection!"

The little servant carried a large kettle, came out of the shed, and waved to the festivities. When he arrived, the little servant whispered: "There is a seat for you by the river, and it is quiet and can see the scenery outside, so you can take the guests over quickly." ”

After thanking him happily, he took Sun Erlang's hand, walked through the tables full of guests, and sat down on a table and stool by the river. At this time, it is dinner time, and there is an endless stream of guests running boats, loading, and doing business.

Xiqing pointed to the menu card hanging on the pillar next to him, and said to Sun Erlang: "Third uncle, Erlang, what do you want to eat, just order it." As long as it's on the menu, you can make it here! ”

Sun Erlang scratched his head embarrassedly, and whispered: "Festive, I can't recognize a few words with the third uncle—"

Festive wave of hands: "It's okay, I'll read it to you!" ”

As he spoke, he whispered the name of the dish on the menu. He read it clearly, and he reported the name of each dish.

There is only a small wine shop in the countryside for ten miles and eight miles, and there are always those few dishes in it, and there is no room for guests to order, where have I seen this kind of scene. Sun Erlang and Uncle Peng listened to the names of the dishes they were happy to read, and muttered in their hearts, if they don't know, these meats and dishes are all familiar, but if they say they know, they don't know how to make the dishes at all.

Hearing that Xiqing reported nearly ten dish names, Sun Erlang had no choice but to say: "Xiqing, we don't know what it looks like if you just read it, so it's better for you to order a few cheaper and more affordable ones to fill your stomach." ”

Xiqing thought about it, nodded and said, "It's okay!" When we arrived at the river, we had to eat fish, and the boiled fish made in this shop was very delicious, so we had a pot, and the third uncle happened to drink a bowl of wine. ”

Sun Erlang said happily: "This is good, it is inconvenient for our countrymen to fry and fry, whether it is fish or meat, it is washed and cooked." I heard that people in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River eat a lot of fish, and we Central Plains people can't do it, just boil it! ”

Xiqing smiled and said: "Erlang, you think badly, this boiled is not the boiled you think!" I heard that this dish was created by the current Ducao officials when they were in Yongzhou, and it was popular there, and it was only in the past two years that it was introduced to the Central Plains. - That's it, it's not two sentences that can explain it, it's better to eat it in a pot to know. ”

After speaking, Xiqing called the little maid over, ordered boiled fish, and ordered a few fresh dishes. They are all such as smooth fried pork slices and tender lotus root, and the raw materials used are common, but the method is made with hot oil, which is still very rare in this era.

Uncle Peng didn't know what these dishes looked like, but when he heard a lot of meat, he said again and again that it was enough, so as not to let the celebration be too expensive. In the countryside, it's good to fill your stomach, and you can't eat well.

Xiqing ordered another bowl of spirits to relieve Uncle Peng's fatigue.

When the little guy went, he said to Uncle Peng happily: "Third uncle, this year is not as usual, because of cotton, everyone has made a lot of money for nothing." In my Sansi shop, the wages were more than usual, and the merchants who came to sell cotton cloth were all generous, and they also got a lot of money for running errands. It's rare for you to come once, so you can have a good time! ”

Uncle Peng said: "You kid, you don't know that every penny is hard-won, if you earn more, you can save it well, and wait for a few years to marry a good daughter-in-law and be a serious person!" Remember it later, but don't care about the flowers! ”

Xiqing and Sun Erlang both laughed together when they heard this. Save money to marry a daughter-in-law, everyone tells them this at their age, but they themselves are still young and don't know what to do when they marry a daughter-in-law and go home, these things are ignorant.

This kind of shop has a small profit, and it depends on a large amount of money to make money, and it pays attention to the flow of people, and it can't make customers wait for a long time. The difference between a seathead and three tables a day, or even more, can be very different. In order to prevent customers from sitting for a long time, the shop even sells only loose wine, but not a whole bottle, which can be described as painstaking.

It won't be long before the festive dishes are on the table. Looking at the meat and vegetables on the plate, they were all cut neatly, and they were very energetic, not as soft as the ones they usually eat, Sun Erlang and Uncle Peng were a little hesitant with chopsticks, and they didn't know how to put their mouths.

The last thing that came up was a large pot of boiled fish, which was full of oil and covered with a layer of red peppers, which made people drool when they looked at it. Uncle Peng couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw it: "Didn't you say that it was boiled fish?" Why is oil used as water in the city now? ”

Festively said: "Third uncle, oil and water, oil and water are inseparable!" In recent years, there have been more peanuts planted in Jingxi Road and Kaifeng Mansion, and alfalfa has been fed to livestock instead of beans, and there is much more oil than before. And peanut oil and soybean oil are not easy to use, the price is not expensive, many people use it to stir-fry, than boiled fragrant! Taste it! ”

When Uncle Peng heard this, he turned his head to look around, and sure enough, most of the dishes eaten by most people were oily. Most of the people who eat here are dock workers who do heavy physical work, and they want heavy oil and salt, so that they can replenish their physical strength.
