Splendid pastoral, the doctor girl is a little sweet

Chapter 249 Don't pretend to be poor anymore

Being urged by her second brother, Gu Yingying flipped through the book in a hurry, and saw that the names of the dishes written on the first page were all too expensive.I had no choice but to tell the waiter about the "Braised Turtle" written on the second page, the "Fried Twist" written on the fourth page, and the "Roast Duck" written on the fifth page.

Thinking that the second brother is so hungry, it is not easy to continue to turn back.

The second brother and Zhao Xun's favorite dishes, plus the "fish balls" that Xin Lan's younger sister loves to eat, made up five names of the dishes.

While making tea for them, the leader of the store waiter was also carefully remembering what Gu Yingying said.When she said nothing, she smiled and said:

"Guest officer, please wait a moment, I will send it to you later."

Gu Yingying looked at it in embarrassment, and the shop waiter took a look and asked:

"I was in my hometown before, and I heard from people who visited the imperial city that the pastry in the imperial city is delicious. It's a bit late today, and I don't know if you still sell it in your store? If so, I will I want to buy two and save them for later.”

In the memories left by the original owner, and after she came here, she thought that the shortbread made by Xinlan's sister was delicious and tasted good.

She went to Sister Xinlan's house and ate pastry biscuits made by Xinlan's mother and daughter.

After arriving in Fucheng, I also ate the shortbread made by Aunt Xiu.

In all fairness, the shortbread made by Auntie Xiu is more delicious.

Auntie Xiu's fried pancakes, like sister Xinlan's, also added sesame oil.It has a golden skin, and when placed on the dining table, the aroma of sesame can permeate the whole room.

Even a person like her who knows how to make cakes by herself, after smelling the fragrance, can't wait to pick up a shortbread and eat it.

The outer skin of the biscuits is crispy, but the inner layer is soft, sweet and delicious.

But sister Xinlan's fried pancakes are filled with green onion and pepper oil, which tastes different from Auntie Xiu's pancakes.

For some reason, she likes to eat the slightly sweet shortbread made by Aunt Xiu.

When Gu Yingying thought of the pastry biscuits, she swallowed in disappointment, she was really hungry.

But at this moment, Zhao Xun was watching her carefully.I also noticed that she wanted to eat early.It's no wonder that during the few days on the passenger ship, although the food was enough to eat, it was not tasty enough.

Let a Yingying who can cook a variety of delicacies, even if she is hungry, she can't eat much of that kind of food.

Zhao Xun understood very well.

Thinking that Gu Yingying felt embarrassed, she told the waiter in the shop that she wanted two shortbreads.Feeling that it was not enough, she asked Gu Yingying:

"Only two?"

"Yes, two are enough." Gu Yingying nodded to Zhao Xun and said.

I wanted two biscuits because I wanted to take them to my room later for sister Xinlan to eat.

The shop waiter smiled at Gu Yingying and said, "Yes, please wait a moment, and we will deliver the biscuits soon, one for each of you."

When Gu Rongjie heard this, he lost no time in asking Gu Yingying:

"Give it away? That is to say, no more cashier?"

Gu Yingying praised Gu Rongjie in her heart, and it was because the second brother would come.I was hesitating whether to ask this question.Unfortunately, the second brother was the first to help ask.

I praise my second brother in my heart.

The waiter in the shop nodded repeatedly, and said to Gu Rongjie: "Yes, guest officer. I heard that you are guests from afar, and you all like to eat shortbread. Anyway, I want you to try it."

After hearing this, Gu Yingying felt at ease.

He took out some scraps of silver from the money bag, and wanted to share some with the two shop waiters, as a reward for silver.

I used to live in Yuelan Inn, and when I saw some guests who came from the imperial city, I would give some silver to the waiter.For example, if the waiter arranged a carriage for them, or helped them buy things on a merchant ship and brought them back, they would all get rewards.

I thought that this was something that people in the imperial city cared more about.

Gu Yingying gave it.

Unexpectedly, neither of the two shop assistants took the silver, but they both thanked her.

The leader of the store waiter, greeted them to drink tea first, taste the pastries prepared for them in the store, and they can eat later.

After the inn waiter walked out of the private room, Gu Yingying asked Zhao Xun with some puzzlement: "Isn't this inn also a government-run inn? Why is it different from the Yuelan Inn in Jinxia City?"

The guest officer gave a reward, but the waiter in the shop didn't accept it.What's the point?
Seeing that the two waiters in the shop are very polite, you can know that they didn't accept it, it couldn't be because they thought she didn't give enough rewards.

Zhao Xun was a little embarrassed, even if he knew what Gu Yingying was thinking, he couldn't explain it to her.

He clearly knew that the fact that the two waiters did not accept the reward had nothing to do with this inn.But it's not easy to tell Gu Yingying the truth, the classmate who booked the room for him was a relative of Master Ding who used to be the magistrate in Jinxia Prefecture.

Although Lord Ding is poor, he doesn't have much decent furniture in his family, and the food he eats is also average.

But after Mr. Ding obtained his fame, even when he was a magistrate in Jinxia Prefecture, which is far away from the imperial city, he would ask someone to bring some silver taels to the owner of this inn.

I want the store owner to free up ten rooms as much as possible to take in those family members of the students who cannot afford to live in the inn.

Although in a year, only live for a few days.

But the rooms in this inn, no matter how bad they are, cost three taels of silver a night.There are also food expenses, which add up to a lot of silver.

When Zhao Xun asked that classmate for help, he heard from the classmate that it doesn't cost money to live in the room arranged by Mr. Ding.

But he didn't want that, so he refused.

In any case, Mr. Ding spent money to book a room to help people in need.But he still has silver taels to pay the store, why waste Mr. Ding's money?
The classmates had no choice but to stop persuading.

But Zhao Xun guessed that the two waiters in the store must know that he is a classmate and friend of Mr. Ding's relatives.Otherwise, I wouldn't say it, I would give them pastries to eat.

While thinking about how to answer Gu Yingying, Zhao Xun heard Gu Rongjie's words:
"How can it be the same? This inn is not allowed to ask the guests for an extra penny. Or, once they are reported to Jing Zhaoyin, they will have good fruit to eat. You gave the silver back to let them Was kicked out of the inn, or what?"

There are many rules in this inn, which Gu Rongjie heard from Uncle Xu before he came to the imperial city and went to Mobei.

I thought Zhao Xun was not easy to say this, so I helped him tell my sister.

Gu Yingying understood instantly and nodded, "I understand."

That is to say, the waiters in this inn are of high quality.It turns out that the management is strict here.

Hearing that the second brother mentioned Jing Zhaoyin, he quickly remembered what he had learned after giving the drawn map to Princess Luan'an in Jinxia City.

It was Princess Luan'an who told her that even though Xifeng had handed over the military power, some soldiers of the imperial army in the imperial city would still listen to him and his brothers.

In this way, it is not easy to lock up Xuanfeng in the mansion.

Fortunately, Lord Ding came up with a clever plan, and sent some of the people brought by Xuanfeng's brothers to other state capitals, and the soldiers led by Lord Han and the others kept watch in secret.

In the imperial city, without many people protecting Xuanfeng, it would be much easier.

"After Xi Feng was arrested, many people still compared him with Mr. Ding. They said that one pretended to be poor, but he was actually rich. The other one didn't donate money to build an academy, or build a bridge; Support some students from poor families, but don’t leave their names. But everyone knows that he is really poor.”
