Chapter 37

Xinyang City is famous for its rich production of tea, and countless merchants come to buy it every year.

Master Zeng and his party stayed at the station, and he still brought people to make soap, trying to sell more.

Along the way, he has already mastered the whole process by heart, and he can handle it by himself.

Mu Wanqing was wearing men's clothing and had a man's hair in a bun.

She took Shen Yong and his party to go out in a low-key way, how to come in a low-key way.

She also brought Mu Erye and Mu Zicheng with her, so that she could see the world more, experience more, and try to stand alone as soon as possible.

Today, she is not staffed enough and needs to form her own team.

Whether it's the officials of Master Zeng, or the guards like Shen Yong, they are all passers-by.

Destined to walk all the way, but when they reach the border, they go their separate ways.

To enter Xinyang City, you need to pay money, two yuan per person, and a group of eight people paid the money and entered the city in a low-key manner.

Xinyang City is more prosperous than the nearby towns. The streets are crowded with people, bustling with traffic, and shops are lined up.

There are also many hawkers hawking along the street, and the sound of hawking is interesting with the tempting aroma of the food, making the children drool.

Mu Wanqing was very interested in all of these, and bought some of each, including naan, candied haws, tuckahoe cakes, sour plum soup, etc.

When she has money, she habitually hoards more food, just in case.

Shen Yongyuan saw that she was only interested in buying, shopping, and shopping, and he couldn't stand it.

He couldn't help urging, "Miss San, where are we going now?"

Mu Wanqing stuffed a packet of Hu cakes to her eldest brother, and Mu Zicheng's hands were full of large and small bags.

"The tea market in Nancheng will open in the future. Haven't you seen a lot of vendors on the street? All of them come from all over the world to buy goods."

Shen Yong was stunned, "How did you know? Is this news accurate?"

"I asked the vendor who sells candied haws." Every time Mu Wanqing bought something, she would chat with the stall owner. "Xinyang City opens a tea market every five days. We came by coincidence."

Shen Yong suddenly realized that he thought she was wasting time chatting, but she was actually collecting information.

Well, as expected of Miss Mu San, she will always walk ahead of others.

"Then let's rush over now."

Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, "Do you think you can enter the tea market as an individual? You must have an invitation from the Haiyang City government to enter. If you don't have it, you can only be a second-hand dealer, and your profit will be halved."

Shen Yong couldn't help worrying, they didn't. "Did we come here for nothing?"

Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes and had an idea, "It's dinner time, let's go eat first."

Aftertaste Lou is the best restaurant in Xinyang City. It is full of diners at the moment and it is very lively.

Mu Wanqing and her party were stopped outside the door, "Have you made an appointment?"

"No." Mu Wanqing was particularly confident.

Xiao Er looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, our store has no seats."

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, "I heard that you Yiweilou is the best restaurant in the city. We came here specially to taste the food at Yiweilou, and I would like to ask my little brother to be accommodating."

Xiao Er had a proud look on his face, but he still didn't agree, "It's really not possible, we can't entertain you."

Mu Wanqing gave Shen Yong a wink, and Shen Yong quietly stuffed a piece of silver over.

"Then, just arrange a seat for us, okay?"

Little Er has half a tael of broken silver, and his monthly salary is not yet half a tael.

He gritted his teeth, "Come on, please come with me."

He set up a table in the corner, squeezed a little, but finally got in.

The signature of the aftertaste building is the fish crab, which is notoriously delicious. Many people come here to order this dish.

Mu Wanqing also ordered, and also ordered a white pork with garlic, astragalus mutton, and a few side dishes.

The dishes came up quickly, the first one was Astragalus mutton, which was soup with astragalus and mutton, and the taste was okay.

After a while, the main event finally came, and a large plate of fish was brought to the table.

Fish mullet is sashimi. Later generations thought it was a specialty of the island country. In fact, it is not. It is.

Tang Dynasty

spread to the island country.

The sashimi was as thin as a snowflake, and it was beautifully placed. Mu Wanqing picked up the fat fish maw and turned it around in the dipping sauce bowl so that every inch of it was coated with the dipping sauce before putting it in her mouth.

The ingredients are fresh, smooth with a hint of sweetness, very delicious.

"The bream fish is like the top of the jade, and the master's knife skills are brilliant. This dish is a test of the knife skills and the freshness of the ingredients. It's not bad." Note 1

Xiao Er came over with garlic and white meat, and was surprised to hear this sentence.

"This son, what did you eat is bream? Good taste."

His sashimi is random, and the best fish is selected according to different seasons. The owner does not disclose what kind of fish it is. It is also a selling point for customers to play a guessing game.

There is a prize for guessing.

Mu Wanqing smiled lightly, "Where, I just ate too much."

This wave of pretence can be given full marks, and Xiao Er looked at her with respect and admiration.

Fish and squid is the top dish this year, and it is only used when entertaining guests, or eating in restaurants.

It can only be said that people who eat regularly are either rich or expensive.

"Master, then try this dish, it's also my family's signature."

Mu Wanqing stopped using her chopsticks after eating only one piece. Xiao Er did not leave, but asked curiously, "Is this not to your liking?"

"The ingredients for this dish are well-chosen, the heat is just right, and the knife work is good, but..." Mu Wanqing sold out.

Xiao Er's curiosity was piqued, "What is it?"

Mu Wanqing shook her head and sighed, "The dipping sauce is a bit poor. It would be even better if you add chili oil."

"what is that?"

Mu Wanqing said casually, "It's a condiment that just became popular in the capital, isn't there yet?"

Her tone was casual, as if it were something very ordinary.

But God knows, she made it up casually, and there are no peppers at all these days.

Xiao Er believed it and said weakly, "Not yet."

Mu Wanqing looked disappointed and sighed softly, "Is there any pickled fish in the store? I want to eat it."

Xiao Er still shook his head, feeling that his own dishes couldn't keep up with the popularity, and that trace of pride had been beaten to pieces.

Mu Wanqing made a timely request, "Then, can I borrow the kitchen?"

If you ask at the beginning, Xiao Er will only drive people away and make trouble. There is no such rule.

But at this moment, he was not sure about the identity of the other party, and did not dare to offend people easily, "This... I'm going to ask the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper came soon and saluted everyone, "I heard that the guest officer wants to use the kitchen to cook?"

Mu Wanqing nodded generously, "Yes, I have a bad stomach, so I don't dare to eat too much raw and cold fish soup."

The shopkeeper's uneventful face cracked, how can this young boy still cook? Impossible, it is purely willful!

However, his eyes fell on Shen Yong and the others, all of them strong and sturdy.

He still readily agreed, and it didn't take much to coax the child.

Mu Wanqing successfully achieved her goal, "Brother, give me the sauerkraut jar."

There is no pepper, but there is pepper, so can still make a fish with sauerkraut and pepper.

Shen Yong and several people looked at each other, what sauerkraut did they bring when they went out?

Hey, what is sauerkraut?

No, she expected all this in advance? ! !

Miss Mu San is someone you can never guess!

The shopkeeper personally brought Mu Wanqing's father and daughter into the kitchen, Mu Wanqing turned around, and the bream had already been ordered out and could not move.

However, if there are grass carp, then picked three grass carp.

Mu Wanqing avoided everyone when she was cooking, and everyone could understand that all chefs were like this, unless they were direct disciples of their direct relatives.

No one took it seriously. This kid looks like a favorite in the family. How can he cook if his fingers don't touch the spring water?

That is to say, on a whim, if you want to come out, you will come out.

However, soon, a fascinating aroma gradually spread out.

The chefs looked at each other, the aroma was too domineering, it went straight into the nose and evoked the greedy worms in the stomach.

When Mu Erye appeared in the lobby with a pot of pickled cabbage and pepper fish, everyone was instantly struck by the aroma.

The diners couldn't sit still. "The shopkeeper, what kind of dish is this? Why is it so delicious? Quickly serve us one too."

The shopkeeper also wanted to eat, but he didn't expect that he had lived for half his life and had been in contact with so many people of all kinds, but this time he actually missed it.

The son of others not only knows how, but also knows how.

"I'm sorry, this is made by the diners in the kitchen."

"Diner? Who is it? Can I ask him to make more?"

"This..." The shopkeeper looked at the person behind Mu Erye subconsciously. Mu Wanqing seemed to sense his sight, raised her head and smiled at him, then turned her head decisively and walked towards her position.

A Tsing Yi attendant stood on the second floor and shouted, "Treasurer, my master invites you to come up."

The second floor is full of boxes, and the shopkeeper did not dare to be neglected, so he responded with a quick response, and then walked up the stairs.

Mu Wanqing's eyes swept over, a slight smile raised on the corner of her mouth, and the fish was hooked.

I just don't know, is it the big fish she wants? Looking forward to it.

Seeing the smile on her face, Shen Yong involuntarily shivered.

She is so roundabout, what is she calculating?

In the Tianzihao box, a man in brocade clothes shook his ink ivory fan, looking like a romantic boy.

"Who is that?"

The shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect at all, and his attitude was extremely respectful, "It's the young master from the capital, with a group of guards by his side, and it looks like they are good at it."

The ivory fan of the brocade-clothed man tapped on the palm of his hand, and thoughtfully, "Go to discuss it with others and say that I am willing to pay a high price to buy it."

"Yes."

The shopkeeper went down in a hurry, and came up after a while, and said cautiously, "People said, not to sell, he is not a cook, but there are brothers from all over the world, I don't mind inviting you to taste delicious food together."

The man in brocade raised his eyebrows and became a little curious, "Then invite them up."

Shen Yong took the lead, walked in with a pot of pickled cabbage and pepper fish, put the pot on the table, and silently retreated to the side.

Behind her, Mu Wanqing made her debut, surrounded by a group of people.

After Mu Wanqing came in, Shen Yong stood behind her with his hands down, looking like he was protecting himself, very professional.

The brocade-clothed man looked at the group of people calmly. The shopkeeper was right. It was indeed from the capital. Don't look at the little boy who was dressed in the first place, but the guards around him were all well-dressed, wearing official boots!

It can be judged that this group of people has extraordinary origins.

He took the initiative to say hello, "My surname is Guo, and I'm the second in the family. You can call me second brother Guo, and dare to ask the little brother's name?"

It's not that everyone is blind, but Mu Wanqing's words and deeds are generous, without a hint of boudoir atmosphere, and every move is righteous, who would have nothing to suspect that she is a girl?

Mu Wanqing was also looking at him. He was dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes. The Hetian Meiyu around his waist was warm and delicate, which was very valuable. He wore several Lantian jade rings on his hands.

Well, I've made sure that the eyes are the big fat sheep she wants!
