    Chapter 22 The rogue who touches porcelain

    Shen Shaoguang glanced at the tweezers, squatted by the small water tank in the back of the store, looking for the hair on the pig's head.

    In this dynasty, pork was not high-end and high-grade, and the pig head and the like were even more contemptible things, but Shen Shaoguang loved such contemptible things.

    When was a child, there was a bacon shop near home, selling all kinds of pigs, sausages, smoked chicken, and occasionally braised beef. Shen Shaoguang loved to eat meat as a child, and the adults in the family gave some pocket money. In addition to buying some small odds and ends that girls liked, in summer, they paid tribute to the cold drink shop.

    Shen Shaoguang didn't like braised beef, and always felt that it was not delicate enough. It was a little dry and stuffed, and it was not fragrant enough; smoked chicken was sold whole, and children's pocket money could not afford it, so the only thing left was to buy pork head meat and sausages. Among them, Shen Shaoguang loves pork head meat the most.

    The pork head in this shop is marinated and then smoked, not so greasy, with a strange burnt aroma.

    On the way from school, Shen Shaoguang first bought a burner and held it—it was fresh out of the oven, torn open and still steaming, and then went to the shop to buy a small piece of pork head meat, and asked the shopkeeper to slice the meat into thin slices and stuff it into the burner, that’s all. Holding it in both hands, open his mouth and bite with a fork.

    Running around the streets with my friends while eating, or finding a place to jump rubber bands, throw sandbags, go home after dark, be nagged by my parents, rush to eat, do homework and wash...

    After Shen Shaoguang graduated, he became involved in the food industry. He had eaten many masterpieces by famous chefs from both the north and the south, but he still remembered the pork head of that restaurant. He would visit it every time he went back to his hometown, and even thought of writing a short story about the deli of the owner's old aunt. Wen propaganda and publicity, and also want to know what smoking method she uses, it is just different from other homes.

    I kept dragging it until went there once and found that the store was connected with the grocery store next door and turned into a rather large real estate agency. The old aunt was said to have left with her son who had settled overseas. How the meat was smoked was completely unsolved.

    Shen Shaoguang looked at the wisps of white clouds in the blue sky, sighed faintly, lowered his head and cleaned up the pig's head. Although he doesn't know how to smoke it, Shen Shaoguang's ability to make braised pork is good. It's roughly the number of ways to braise it, with thick sauce and heavy ingredients. When it's marinated enough, the taste can't go wrong - it's just a hassle to clean up.

    Shen Shaoguang deliberately added more money to the butcher's shop to let people shave the pig's hair more, but he was not at ease, and he had to come back and check it again. If you eat and eat, let the guests find a few pig hairs... This is disgusting.

    But don't want to, Rao is so careful, or something happens.

    The sun was still high, and when the twilight drum was just beginning to beat, two unfamiliar guests came in, one wearing a blue cocoon silk shirt and the other wearing a brown cloth shirt, both with high noses and deep eyes, curly hair, two Hu people.

    There are many barbarians in Chang'an City, and Shen Shaoguang didn't care, smiled and greeted them, and asked them to sit down casually.

    The two ordered the signature agate meat, lion head, braised pig head meat, and pig feet, which are all meat dishes, and they also ordered triangle wine.

    A corner is four liters, a young man like Lin Shaoyin only drinks one liter, but these two actually want to drink twelve liters...

    The restaurant owner is not afraid of the big-bellied man, Shen Shaoguang prepared quickly and asked A Yuan to bring the tray to send it over.

    There are more and more customers in the store, and soon it fills up. Some people have finished eating and some are new. Some people drink here, and some people come to buy jade noodles or meat. It is very lively.

    Suddenly heard a commotion inside.

    Shen Shaoguang put down his work and walked over to check.

    But it was the two Hu people who ordered the triangle wine, pointed to the plate and said, "There are hairs in the meat! You guys are not clean here!"

    Although she always considers herself clean, wears an apron and sleeves when cooking, and covers her head with a towel, A Yuan is also dressed as usual, but what if? Shen Shaoguang stepped forward and said with an apologetic smile: "Guests, don't worry, where is the dirty thing?"

    Hu Renyi in blue shirt squinted at Shen Shaoguang, raised the corner of his mouth with a smile, and pointed at the plate on which the agate meat was placed: "This is it."

    The meat on the plate has been eaten up, and only some sauce is left, and there is a hair in the sauce.

    The rest of the guests didn't eat, and turned their heads or looked around.

    The blue-shirted Hu Ren hiccupped, and the alcohol spit on Shen Shaoguang's face, "How is it? Little lady?"

    The agate meat is served in a ready-made plate from a clay pot before serving, and then poured with a spoonful of sauce for the sake of bright red color and to enhance the taste. In such a process, if there is still hair on the plate, unless Shen Shaoguang and A Yuan are blind.

    Looking at the table full of meat, and the wine has been drunk, Shen Shaoguang understands that this is to find fault with eating and drinking...

    The barbarian didn't give up: "Little lady, give us an explanation, otherwise if we go out and make a noise..." Then he said to the surrounding diners, "What do you guys say?"

    Immediately, some people frowned and looked back at their plates, while others looked at Shen Shaoguang.

    A Yuan said anxiously: "No! My house is the cleanest, why is there hair?"

    The brown-robed man glared: "Then what do you think is the hair in this plate?"

    Shen Shaoguang looked at the hair carefully and said with a smile, "Don't worry, guests, what the hell is this dirty thing on this plate, you'll know when I do a trick."

    As soon as they heard that there was a trick, those who checked their plates didn't even look at them, and they all looked at Shen Shaoguang.

    "Go get two white porcelain bowls, one of which is filled with water, and then a pair of bamboo chopsticks, some bath beans, and a clean white towel." Shen Shaoguang instructed A Yuan.

    A Yuan went away and quickly brought it over.

    Everyone looked at Shen Shaoguang intently.

    What can Shen Shaoguang do? Just wash your hair.

    Learning from the magician's appearance, let everyone look at everything first, Shen Shaoguang wiped the hair with a bath bean, rinsed it clean, and then lightly dried it with a cloth towel, and put it in another empty bowl.

    "Can you see what clues are coming?" Shen Shaoguang asked with a smile.

    Some people can't see anything with their clumsy eyes, isn't this just a root of hair? Some people have sharp eyes, "It's curved, and it's a little yellow! It's the hair of this barbarian!"

    The hair didn't show its original shape in the soup, but after washing it, it showed its original shape.

    Everyone looked at the two Hu people, looked at the hair of Shen Shaoguang and A Yuan, and compared the hair in the bowl, even the dull one would understand at this moment, this is to find fault and blackmail!

    "How come it's ours to turn yellow?" the brown-clothed barbarian hurriedly asked.

    A guest said quietly: "Yes, it may also be from cats and dogs."

    Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at the two barbarians and burst into laughter.

    The two of them were already drunk, and they were agitated by everyone. They saw Shen Shaoguang as a weak girl, so they simply acted as rogues, "You guys are not eating clean, and you are slandering us!"

    Fortunately, the table was long, and it was fixed to the wall, so it didn't move when it was lifted.

    Immediately, there were brave guests who wanted to step forward to subdue them, but A Yuan took a step forward and grabbed the hair of the blue shirt with one hand, while the other hand grabbed the collar of the brown-shirted barbarian. Pulled a stagger.

    Those two were about to struggle, but Naihe was caught by A Yuan, and they drank a lot, how could they struggle?

    Everyone unanimously took a step back to open up the field for A Yuan, and those who wanted to help also retracted their hands embarrassingly.

    Shen Shaoguang is a mouth-to-mouth style, and he was a little nervous when he saw his hands just now, but he calmed down and said, "Drag outside!"

    There was a commotion at the door when Fang Ding came.

    Shen Shaoguang hurriedly stepped forward to make a statement, and everyone helped to tell the story.

    Before the people dispersed, Shen Shaoguang hurriedly laid an ambush to eliminate similar frame-ups and frame-ups in the future-washed himself clean and explained the matter clearly, and no one would believe that there would be similar frame-ups and frame-ups in the future.

    Report first, "You said, if it wasn't for the Hu people, the beard was yellow and curved, or this rascal caught flies, moths and insects and threw them into the vegetable juice, how could the dirty water be cleaned today?"

    Everyone nodded, it was true.

    Chen Qingqing again, "In the small store, it is the hottest time, and my maid and I are also wearing a full set of protective aprons. You can also go to the store to see if we are clean?"

    The regulars nodded again, no doubt about that.

    Selling miserably again, "My son is a girl who lives here. The neighbors in Mengfang can look up to it and sell some cakes and vegetables. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing..."

    Everyone felt sympathy and felt that this little lady Shen was really not easy.

    ...

    A grey-clothed servant came to the carriage parked under the tree on the street and whispered, "Back to Alang, I've already said something, let them examine it carefully."

    Lin Yan glanced at Shen Shaoguang, who looked sad at the door of the small shop not far away.

    "Thank you, gentlemen, for your discerning eyes and help you distinguish clearly..." Shen Shaoguang gave everyone a light blessing.

    Although everyone was just a spectator who "witnessed miracles", they felt as if they had also participated in the activities of catching rogues and helped the poor little lady, and they all returned their salutes.

    "Alang, do you still buy lion head and orchid beans?"

    After dropping the car window screen, Lin Yan instructed, "Don't buy it, let's go."
