The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 13 Restaurant Hu

The next day, Sun Shao carried two pieces of horseshoe gold and went out with his guard Dun Wu, ready to go to the market to get acquainted with the situation and prepare for the return of Zhou Xun in a few days.Dongshi is in the southeast corner of Wu County, and a long wall can be seen from a long distance. There is a door in the middle of the wall, and the word "Ximen" is inscribed on the door in seal script. Sun Shao glanced at it and thought it was a little funny. , Why does it look like he's at Ximen Chuuxue's house?

"Young Master." A voice came from behind, and Sun Shao turned his head to see Shuai Zeng, who was as handsome as a woman, galloped over, panting, but with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"Sister Qin, why are you so happy?" Dun Wu smiled and winked.Shuai Zeng is the distant cousin of Aunt Qin, the head chef of the East Kitchen, who works in the guards of the mansion. Because he is young and handsome, the gang of soldiers all jokingly call him Sister Qin.Although he was upset, but in terms of action, he was no match for Dun Wu and the others, so he could only swallow his anger.As soon as he heard Dun Wu calling him that in front of the young master, he immediately changed his face, and shouted angrily: "You are not very trustworthy, Li Zi. When you were drinking last time, you said you would never call him again. Why are you calling again today?"

Dun Wu blushed, pinched his nose and remained silent.Although Shuai Zeng is not good at skills, he can get food and drink from Dongchu. For the guards who rarely have wine and meat all year round, he can't offend him too much, otherwise it will not be his turn to fight the tooth festival in the future up.

Sun Shao smiled and said nothing, he knew the messy things between them, and he didn't even bother to point them out. He still understood the truth that when the water was clear, there would be no fish. Besides, when the future of the Sun House was hopeless, It is very rare for these guards to stay in the mansion.He patted Shuai Zeng on the shoulder: "Has the invitation been delivered?"

Shuai Zeng nodded again and again, and laughed again: "It's delivered, it's delivered, the young master of the Zhou family came to pick it up in person, and even said a few words to me."

Dun Wu curled his lips: "A few words with you will make you happy like this?" As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Shao, signaling Shuai Zeng not to say wrong things in front of the young master.

"It's not unusual to talk to me, what is unusual is the words he asked." Shuai Zeng raised his head, and then changed his smile again: "Young master, he asked me what kind of people you have been with recently, Did I meet any celebrities, I thought about it, this young master has not been out of the mansion recently, how can there be any celebrities? But he didn't believe me, and even specially rewarded me with two hundred coins and asked again. "

Sun Shao raised his eyebrows and understood.It seems that Zhou Xun has not let go of the knot in his heart, and is about to investigate the origin of his new song.

"Young master, did you learn some new tricks recently to beat him up?" Shuai Zeng said flatteringly.In his opinion, the only way for Sun Shao to win against Zhou Xun is martial arts.

"No, I just played a piece of music, and he didn't recognize the origin." Sun Shao smiled secretly, turned and entered the city gate.

Dun Wu and Shuai Zeng stood there stunned, dumbfounded, and both doubted their own ears: Can the young master gain the upper hand even by playing the melody?
People come and go in the city gate, crowding the straight city thoroughfare. The tall city building stands at the crossroads in the city center. It is three stories high. The closing of the market is announced by beating the drum.Several walls divide different types of markets into closed spaces, which are orderly and do not interfere with each other.

Sun Shao first went to the vegetable market, walked along the street, and inquired about the prices of vegetables, especially the prices of fresh vegetables. It is mid-autumn and the weather is not cold yet. It's too high.Then I turned to the slaughter market and inquired about the prices of various meats, which was a taste of the people's livelihood in the Han Dynasty.Different from the experience of the previous life, eating meat in the Han Dynasty was quite difficult. It was rare for ordinary people to eat meat several times a year. Compared with the cheapness of vegetables, the price of meat was ridiculously high, and the types of meat were not the same. Pork is the main family, but in this era, beef and mutton are the main family. Beef is the most expensive, followed by mutton, while pork, dog meat, chicken, etc. are cheaper.

After visiting the vegetable market and meat market, Sun Shao went to the gold market.The gold market is of course not a place to sell gold, but a place to trade in metal utensils.He wandered around the kitchen and knew that the reason why there is no cooking these days is that the cauldrons in this era are too deep, which is suitable for boiling but not suitable for frying, so he needs to specially build a shallow and flat iron pot.

I found a blacksmith shop and explained to the blacksmith the shape and requirements of the required iron pot. Sun Shao was already parched. The blacksmith's professional ethics was too strong. , delayed the customer's use, asked in detail for a long time, and recently forced Sun Shao to draw a sketch for him, and he finally understood.

"Let's go to the wine market, and quench your thirst by the way." Sun Shao waved his hand and said in a rough voice.When Dun Wu and Shuai Zeng heard this, they immediately beamed, and secretly rejoiced that today was the right time, and that they could follow the young master to get over his alcoholism.Although you can steal some wine to drink from the kitchen, after all, the quantity is limited and you can't enjoy yourself to your heart's content.

The wine market is just opposite the meat market. There are not only stalls selling wine in the wine market, but also wine shops. In addition to selling wine, they also sell some side dishes such as salt beans for customers to sit and drink in the store. a few cups.Most of the people standing at the door to greet the guests are young and beautiful women, painted in makeup, dressed in fancy clothes, speaking soft Wu Nong soft language, greeting the guests with a smile, no different from the restaurant in the previous life, what surprised Sun Shao even more was However, among these women there is actually a blond and blue-eyed bearded woman.

It's not that Sun Shao didn't know that since Zhang Qian traveled to the Western Regions, Hu Nu had appeared in restaurants in the Han Dynasty, and that there was a line in the Yuefu poems "making fun of Hu in the restaurant", but he didn't expect that Hu Nu could go so far. It can be seen in Wu County in the southeast.

Sun Shao, who was accustomed to seeing foreign beauties in his previous life, was surprised, and Dun Wu and Shuai Zeng were even more unavoidable. The four eyes were almost not enough, and they could only sweep back and forth on Hu Xuebai's skin in those restaurants, salivating. Needless to say ugly, even Sun Shao felt ashamed.Before he taught the two disgraceful guards a lesson, they had been dragged into a restaurant with the largest appearance and the most customers by several enthusiastic restaurants. The name of the store on the flag did not come to take a look.

"Is this guest officer buying wine or tasting wine?" A neatly dressed middle-aged woman came forward, just glanced at it, and immediately put her gaze on Sun Shao's face.

"Buy wine, and also taste wine." Sun Shao chuckled, his eyes swept past the woman's face, and immediately looked at the wall next to him.There are handwritings left by guests on the wall. Although the calligraphy is not very good, it is still better than this woman's makeup. With a big white face and bright red lips, I think of the geisha in my previous life, and I am very uncomfortable.Although the women in the mansion also wear makeup, but they are all light, not so thick.

The woman was used to seeing customers, and she was not angry when she saw Sun Shao's expression, she politely led him to the rows of wine vats: "There are some wines in this shop, you can do what you want. Taste it, see which taste suits you, and then make a decision."
