after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 1093
Chapter 1093
The scholar is a real person, he kept thanking him, repeatedly confirmed that the couple would stay in Wuzhou for a period of time, and agreed on a time to pay back the money.

Before leaving, the scholar was afraid that the couple would be deceived, so he commented on the ingredients, dishes, and taste of Hetai Restaurant to prove what he said was true.

Lin Yuesha had no choice but to use the excuse of going to the restaurant to find someone to send the scholar away.

"This scholar has a tendon, and when he reads it carefully, he looks like my elder brother."

Lin Yuesha watched the scholar go away before entering the restaurant with Qi Heng.

As soon as the couple entered the door, a waiter immediately came up to greet them. Seeing that the two were strangers, they gave each other a wink.

"Is there any private room?"

The lobby was noisy, Qi Heng wanted to find a quiet place to eat.

"Yes, yes."

The clerk hesitated for a moment, then said, "There is another room reserved for regular customers. Who would have expected that person to be busy today and not come. If the two of you want to enter the private room, at least this will cost me."

said the man, holding out a hand.

"Five taels of silver?"

Lin Yuesha pretended not to understand and asked.

"Guest officer, this is your first time here. Five taels of silver is only enough to eat a dish of cabbage."

The guy's tone was full of disdain. Hetai Restaurant is the top restaurant in Wuzhou City. Poor people without money can only stay away, not a place where they can come whenever they want.

The private room costs at least 50 taels to be eligible to enter it. If you are cash-strapped, get out as soon as possible, otherwise you will end up like a scholar who has just been thrown out.

The guy was arrogant, showing the word "snobby" to the extreme.

Lin Yuesha didn't have the same knowledge as the clerk, so she threw out a bank note and decided to choose the private room.

Money is not a problem, the key is whether it is worth the money, it doesn't matter if it is not worth it, anyway, the money will be returned and it will fall into her pocket.

"What do you two use?"

With the banknote in hand, the clerk immediately changed his face and smiled so courteously.

"My husband and I came from afar. We heard that the donkey meat in Wuzhou City is excellent. We want to try it. You can serve the rest of the signature dishes as you like."

Lin Yuesha pushed the recipe back to the buddy, not wanting to say more.

After the clerk left, Lin Yuesha looked at the layout of the private room, and was attracted by a painting on the wall, because the painting looked familiar.

"Husband, look!"

The background of the painting is on the city wall, the couple are wearing wedding clothes, and there are thousands of troops under the city wall, obviously they are enemies.

The corners of Lin Yuesha's mouth curled up, it couldn't be what she thought, could it?
This scene did happen. At that time, Yu Wenkun brought Miaoyin to worship under the city wall.

This matter is a bit of a joke, and it has been suppressed so that it cannot be spread to the outside world. Lin Yuesha never expected to see this scene in the private room of the restaurant. She couldn't tell what it was like.

Perhaps, she misunderstood.

Qi Heng sighed, it was really hard to describe the man's appearance, but he didn't dare to criticize, he was worried that he would be asked to take off his mask again if he talked about this topic.

Hetai Restaurant served the dishes very quickly, and in about a quarter of an hour, several special dishes were served.

"Two distinguished guests, donkey meat in sauce, grilled fish meal, eight-treasure wild duck, sweet and sour milk melon, winter bamboo shoots with shrimp roe, and a Longjing bamboo fungus soup, everything is complete."

The waiter introduced the dishes. Seeing that Lin Yuesha was absent-minded, she kept looking at the framed paintings on the wall, and said with a smile, "Your honored guest, you really have a good eye. This is what our boss took a lot of effort to exchange. It is said that it is General Qi and It is extremely rare for the young lady to visit the church."

In the painting, the woman is covered with a red hijab, so she cannot see her face clearly, but the man's appearance is horrible.

"Is General Qi so ugly?"

Lin Yuesha questioned that the pockmarks on the pockmarked face mask were almost bigger than soybeans, and they were extremely ugly.

"Cough cough!"

Qi Heng coughed twice, this is not the point, he doesn't want to bring up such topics.

"My dear guest, it seems that you are not the only one who thinks so. Every guest who comes to the private room has mentioned it, but we can just whisper these words. If you let Major General Qi hear it, the misfortune will come out of your mouth. This is a serious crime of beheading. what!"

When the buddy left, Lin Yuesha reminded Qi Heng again: "Husband, your reputation has been victimized for the second time."

It is said that when Wuzhou was brought under the command of the Wei family, Shen Huaiyuan had been quite critical, and not long after, he contacted his subordinates to send a letter to Qi Heng, expressing his determination to surrender.

Shen Huaiyuan has collected Qi Heng's calligraphy and portraits, but judging from the demeanor of Shen Zhifu's brother-in-law, Shen Zhifu is more like Qi Heng's black fan.

"My lady, Longjing Bamboo Fungus is good, moderately salty."

Qi Heng served a bowl of soup for his wife, and changed the subject.

"I'll try the donkey meat first."

The sauced donkey meat made by Hetai Restaurant has been sliced, and there is still dark red soup in the tray.

Lin Yuesha chewed a piece, then shook her head. She didn't know whether it was the Hetai Restaurant's bad practice, or the taste of donkey meat was exaggerated.

"My lady, what's on the Hetai restaurant is not donkey meat."

After Qi Heng tasted it, he immediately came to a conclusion.

"It's not donkey meat, what kind of meat is that?"

Lin Yuesha's complexion was pale, could it be...human flesh?
"My lady, don't think about it, it's made of horse meat."

There is a difference between donkey meat and horse meat. Donkey meat has a delicate taste, while horse meat is rougher. Donkey meat is brighter in color, while horse meat is darker in color, and there are differences in taste and texture.

Most people have never eaten horse meat, so there is no way to tell the difference, which is why Hetai Restaurant dares to pretend to be fish.

Da Qi forbids the slaughter of horses, even old and disabled horses are within the scope of the prohibition of slaughter, and according to the laws of Da Qi, killing horses is a felony.

Before the formation of the two armies, the soldiers ran out of food and supplies. Even if they were hungry, they were reluctant to kill the horses. After all, the horses were also members of the soldiers, equivalent to partners.

"Horses are more valuable than donkeys. Why does Hetai Restaurant use horse meat instead of donkey meat?"

Lin Yuesha couldn't figure it out, it didn't make sense for Hetai Restaurant to do so.

If a restaurant wants to shoddy it, it can use cheap meat instead of horse meat. Wouldn't it increase the cost and violate the law.

"It is precisely because killing a horse is a felony, and people who have eaten horse meat are rare, that Hetai Restaurant dares to take action."

Qi Heng stood up, frowning. It seemed that there was something in Wuzhou City, not as simple as he had heard from the news before.

If you want to know the secrets, you need to check the source of horse meat and follow the clues.

Lin Yuesha wanted to say something, but then stopped talking.

This meal was the most tasteless and taken advantage of by her, costing 75 taels of silver.

When I checked out and went out, it was already dark, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.

The cold wind blew, and Lin Yuesha shivered. Just now at the Hetai Restaurant, the couple ordered a table of dishes and didn't eat a few bites. Their stomachs are still empty at the moment.
