Chapter 142 Eating in a Restaurant (Please Subscribe for a Monthly Pass)
Qingyan said in her heart, what I'm afraid of is that you have this idea, that's why you said it in the opposite direction.

She doesn't have time to go with other people anymore. Today, Xingtang Mansion is almost full of shopping, and she is going to leave tomorrow. She will go to find a deserted mountain forest outside the city, and then she can leave without fear of being seen.

When the group of them arrived at East Street, He Linling took Qingyan directly to the largest restaurant in Xingtang Mansion - An He Lou.

Looking at their familiar faces, Qingyan knew that it was not the first time for them to come here. She couldn't complain that although she was stopped outside yesterday, she knew that the first city gate opened in the morning was from the South City side. Dodged the pursuers behind.

Of course, the two people I saw before were not necessarily chasing them, nor did they have other purposes.

Anhelou is indeed the largest restaurant in Xingtang Mansion. It is located in the most prosperous part of the center of Dongdajie, not far from the bank that Qingyan went to before, only two or three shops away.

The building of the restaurant is made of wood. It is not very tall but has three floors. The first floor is the lobby. There are more than a dozen square tables. Because it is already noon, there are only three or four tables.

They should all be in relatively good conditions, and the clothes are not to say how flashy, but they are all neat and tidy, and there is no such thing as poorly dressed.

The name of the No. [-] restaurant alone can deter some cash-strapped people.

He Linling and the others did not stay on the first floor, but went directly to the second floor.

The guys in the lobby didn't even have time to come over to greet them, they saw them going up the stairs skillfully, knowing that they were regular customers, so they didn't come to bother them again.

"I've met the guest officer, how many guest officers are there? On the second floor or the third floor?" After ascending to the second floor, there is also an exclusive waiter on the second floor. When he sees a guest, he quickly comes over to say hello.

"Let's eat on the second floor, find a place near the north." He Linling said.

Qingyan looked around and thought that the second floor would be a private room, but she didn't expect that the second floor is similar to the first floor, and it is also a whole lobby, except that the distance between each table is farther, and there is a screen in between So, it is considered to have an independent space.

And every table is next to the window, so you can see the outside scenery.

The side next to the street can see the street view, and the side not facing the street can also see the view of the backyard of the restaurant.

When walking in, Qingyan glanced over there, because the windows were all propped up and not closed, so she could clearly see the backyard of the restaurant.

The scenery in the backyard is very good, with flowers, grass, rockery, and a lotus pond. This season is when the lotus blooms, and the pink lotus flowers stand gracefully among the green lotus leaves, which is very poetic and picturesque.

The scene here is obviously much better than the street, but it is noon now, and the door of this restaurant is open to the north, so the direction of the backyard is a bit sunny, so they chose to sit on the side by the street.

After sitting down, He Linling asked Qingyan if she had any preferences or taboos.

Qingyan shook her head and said, "I'm not picky about food, I can eat anything, sweet, bitter, spicy."

He Linling smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll make the decision. Knowing that this is your first time here, let's order some special dishes from Xingtang Mansion."

After speaking, he turned to the waiter in the restaurant and said, "Stir-fried mutton with scallions, crispy fish, lotus chicken, and two seasonal vegetables and side dishes. The main food is steamed cakes for four people and Wufu cakes, and a pot of Yufang liquid..."

During this time, Qingyan also knew that in this era, anyone with a little wealth would enjoy a good drink. No matter in Hancheng or here, the most open shops in the city are wine shops.

It's just that she has come across people who don't have this condition, or who don't have this leisurely attitude. This is the first time she has a chance to have a drink.

When the food was on the table, the wine was brought up, and He Linling poured a small glass for Qingyan from the wine jug.

Then he said to her: "I don't know if Miss Xue is good at drinking, but you must taste this Yufang liquid when you come here. This Yufang liquid is also called Zhuyeqing. It turns out to be tribute wine."

Qingyan took a sip lightly, her eyes lit up, and she asked with interest: "Is there any allusion to this wine?"

He Linling smiled and said: "It really is. It is said that there was a man named Liu among the common people who was always good at making wine. He took river water and made it into fragrant wine repeatedly. He stored it for a long time, and then when the mulberry leaves fell Open it, so the name of this wine was originally called Sang Luo Wine.

Because this fragrant wine is green and white like rice swill, it has a unique fragrance, which is different from other wines. It emits a fragrance of orchids, and it is like musk drifting away. Best vintage ever.

Later, I felt that the name of Sangluo was not very good as a tribute wine, so I changed it to Yufangye and Zhuyeqing. "

Qingyan thought about the wine she bought in Hancheng, which was said to be the best in the wine shop, but compared with this wine, it was still a lot worse, at least she could smell the wine's fragrance more mellow than that wine Quite a lot.

"Can this wine be bought in a liquor store? I want to buy some back for my elders to taste."

He Linling nodded, "It should be available in the biggest liquor store. The price of this wine is actually not high, but the output is small, and it is difficult for small wine shops to get the goods."

Qingyan felt relieved when she heard this, thinking about going to the biggest liquor store in the city for a while, and buying something for her father and the others. Her grandfather and grandfather also like to drink.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, He Linling called Xiao Er to settle the bill, and they left the restaurant.

Qingyan herself was also a guest at someone else's house, so it was definitely not easy to take them there, so she asked them where they would wait for her to go back and drive the donkey cart to them.

He Linling looked up and looked around, and saw a teahouse not far from the street. They had just finished their lunch, and now it was hot weather and it was not good to hurry on their way, so they said they would sit in that teahouse for a while, by the way Wait for Qingyan.

Qingyan nodded and walked over to the teahouse with them. Just two steps away, Chouchou said to her: "I saw four big men on horseback coming in from the north city gate. Look at their Dressed like a horse, he should be in the same group as those people yesterday.

The horses and knives on these four men are exactly the same as those you killed yesterday.

When they were inspected at the city gate, they claimed to be members of the Mighty Escort Bureau, so they were not suspected by the city guard of carrying weapons. "

Qingyan paused, "Then Feng Dongyue didn't suspect seeing their horses?"

Chou Chou said with a smile in his tone: "It's just such a coincidence that Feng Dongyue went home with his father for dinner, and he didn't guard the city gate there. The soldier who had guarded him was there, and he didn't find any problems. "

Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, if it's just the horse, it's okay to say, the horses are all similar in appearance, even if they look like the same batch, it doesn't mean anything, but the saddle and harness are all the same, it looks like they are from the same batch, so there is something I can't justify it.

Then he asked Chou Chou again, "Did they come straight here?"

Chou Chou: "No, they went to Nanshi. It is estimated that they only saw the corpses of their accomplices on the road and did not see the horses. Then they chased here along the horseshoes, thinking that you should also sell the horses. It’s impossible to just throw it away.”

Qingyan was thankful again that she took the man to sell to Feng Dongyue. If she sold it to Luomashi, maybe the horse dealer and innocent people there would be implicated.

After all, those people are not good people, they are masters who can kill and set fire. Now the horses are in the public yard, and the ground in this city is paved with stone bricks. Clues cannot be found along the horseshoe.

Another one is that the soldiers who live in the northern city are guarding the city, and there are only four of them, and they don't seem to be the kind of people who dare to act recklessly.

Qingyan thought for a while, then turned around and said to the three of them, "I forgot to mention just now, when I went to call the horse collector, I met four people who were dressed very similar to yesterday's. There is also a big knife on his shoulders.

At that time, they were passing through the inspection of the city gate and told the city guards that they were members of Yecheng Mighty Escort Bureau. "

When the three of them heard this, their expressions immediately changed. They took a deep breath, cupped their hands at Qingyan and said, "Thank you for reminding me, miss, we will pay attention to it. We will go to the teahouse to find a private room to sit in later, and the girl should be more careful on the way." .”

"I will, please pay attention." Qingyan knew that they understood, and when she reached the door of the teahouse, she separated from them and left first.

Those four people may not be able to find this way, but what if?In case people can't find them, come here for a drink of tea or a meal. The three of He Linling are sitting in the lobby, and they can be spotted at a glance.

At that time, not only the three of them will be in danger, but with such a large flow of people here, innocent people might be hurt.

The three quickly entered the teahouse, and Qingyan hurried towards the west.

She wasn't afraid to run into each other, anyway, those who had seen her were already dead, and those who came after her would not be able to recognize them even if they had heard the description.

Her attire has changed, it is completely different from yesterday, and besides, there is the cheat of Chou Chou, if she can walk across from them, that would be too unreal.

Even so, when he reached the intersection, he subconsciously quickened his pace.

Although Chou Chou said that the other party was still inquiring at Luoma City, he also said that no one told them that most people in this era don't like to be nosy, especially the people living at the bottom.

Those people were not easy to mess with at first glance, and most of them held the idea that more things are worse than less things, and they all said that they had never seen the three people and dozens of horses they mentioned, not even the horse dealer.

Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that those four people must not have thought of it, because she didn't look like a good person and had a fierce look on her face, so she lost the chance to know the clues.

Qingyan's footsteps were much lighter, and she trotted all the way back to the westernmost side door of Xue Mansion.

After patting the brass ring on the door a few times, the door opened from the inside, and it was Hou Shunzi, the porter from yesterday, who opened the door.

A smile appeared on Qingyan's face immediately, "The girl is back, but are you tired from shopping? I'll send you to the backyard right now, girl."

Qingyan hurriedly stopped her and said: "No, I still have to go out, I have something to trouble my little brother, can someone help me drive out the donkey cart from yesterday? That cart is from a friend I borrowed, and I want to take it out." Go back."

Hearing this, Hou Shunzi nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll bring you the car right away, please wait here."

After finishing speaking, he said to a boy next to him: "Er Linzi, I'll come back as soon as I go, you can watch the door for me here."

The boy named Er Linzi nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Shunzi, I will definitely watch the door."

This is a side door, and there are often maids, servants and stewards in the backyard who go out to buy, so they can't leave people.

As for why Hou Shunzi agreed so happily, he went to drive the donkey cart without asking Steward Yang or the lady. That was because Steward Zhang from the backyard had come to give orders today.

Guanshi Zhang is Guanshi Yang's wife, Zhang Fangcao. I heard from Xue Minghua yesterday that Qingyan sent her back specially, and this car also belongs to him.

Zhang Fangcao was afraid that Qingyan would use the car or go to get things in the car today, so she came here and told her not to turn around and make her feel that it was a laborious effort to carry her things.

Qingyan didn't think much about it, anyway, she didn't leave today, so she didn't think about going to tell Mrs. Xue or Xue Minghua about it now.

Besides, she still has a horse left here, so the other party probably wouldn't think she left without saying goodbye.

Xue's stables were not very far away, and within ten minutes, Hou Shunzi drove the donkey cart over.

These ten minutes should also include the time to put the cart on the donkey, otherwise it would be faster.

Hou Shunzi and Er Linzi opened the two wooden doors and removed the sills, then drove the donkey cart out, and asked if they wanted to help drive the cart over.

Qingyan waved her hand and refused, "No need, my friends are at the intersection, I just give them the car, thank you two little brothers."

Hou Shunzi and the two hurriedly waved their hands and said, "It should be, it should be, this is what young people should do, that girl should pay attention on the way."

Qingyan smiled and waved to them again, got on the shaft of the donkey cart, and drove the cart towards the intersection.

Chou Chou had already put the contents of the car into the space before, so there was nothing else in the car except the two quilts that Xue Minghua took out at Chen's house.

Of course, the basket she hung behind was still there.

Qingyan thought, since Xue Minghua had already returned to Xue's house, she probably didn't care about the two quilts, so she didn't put down the quilts for Hou Shunzi to take back.

These two quilts are rare for farmers. For a big family like the Xue family, they will probably be treated as garbage in the end.

So Qingyan decided to just put it in the car and let the three of them use it, and it would make them more comfortable on the road.

Of course, it won't let you Xue Minghua suffer. When the time comes to give her the silver ticket, she will give an extra ten taels of silver, which happens to be the benefit fee He Linling gave her, even if she sold them two quilts.
