Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 115 So, let’s get started!

As Yang Yuan was approaching, a bartender discovered him.

Yang Yuan was alone, and his clothes and behavior did not seem like he was here to dine.

The bartender came over and stopped him.

"Sir, do you want to drink or see someone?"

Yang Yuan remained calm and replied, "Oh, my master asked me to make a reservation, but I don't know what special dishes you have at Zhiweitang. I saw that you, the bartender, were busy, so I didn't want to disturb you, so I wanted to take a look for myself."

After hearing these words, the waiter had a very favorable impression of him.

The bartender smiled and said, "The name of our restaurant is 'The Best Taste'. If you want to know how our dishes taste, you don't have to be picky. Every dish is delicious."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "My master is going to host a banquet for distinguished guests at the 'Shuiyunjian' restaurant on the bank of West Lake. I heard that your 'Zhiweitang' dishes are more delicious, so he asked me to come here to order a few dishes. Please recommend some, little brother."

When the bartender heard that the guests were being hosted at someone else's restaurant but were being ordered from their "Zhiweitang", he felt proud but also a little indignant, and started to complain.

"I've heard of the Shuiyunjian restaurant. I heard that the owner of the restaurant is known as the eleventh scenic spot of the West Lake. Pah! Wouldn't flies and mosquitoes buzz around him? Ah! I'm not talking about your master."

The bartender said the wrong thing and felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Speaking of dishes, the chef of 'Shuiyunjian' restaurant is the nephew of the chef of 'Zhiweitang'. Of course, he can't compare with our 'Zhiweitang'. We have several specialties, and you can listen to them."

The bartender wanted to win, so he told him about the most famous dishes of "Zhiweitang", including crab stuffed with orange, orchid smoked ham, reed sprouts and curry, and pork balls with glutinous rice...

The bartender mentioned seven or eight dishes in a row, and Yang Yuan pretended to ask about the characteristics of these dishes, just like a servant who really wanted to do a good job for his master.

When Yang Yuan asked about the famous dish "Reed Sprouts and Xishi Milk", he suddenly had an idea in his mind.

So he casually asked about a few specialties and ordered six dishes including "Reed Sprouts and Xishi Milk".

Although there are only six dishes, they are the most expensive dishes in Zhiweitang.

The bartender approached and chatted for a few minutes, and then made a big deal, which was a great harvest.

Yang Yuan glanced at the Hu Ji with a smile and said, "You actually have a Hu Ji selling wine in your store."

The bartender said proudly, "That's right. Miss Yan'er is a foreign beauty that our boss picked out from a hundred miles away in Fanfang."

Having just concluded a deal, the bartender was in a very good mood. He smiled mischievously at Yang Yuan, "But don't try to hit on her. She has a lover who is an official in the National Security Bureau. We ordinary people can't afford to offend him."

"Oh? She's already got a boyfriend?"

The bartender said, "Yes, every time the officer of the National Security Bureau has a day off, she dresses up beautifully and goes to his door. But..."

The bartender came close to Yang Yuan and whispered, "I heard that foreign women are very good at that. Every time I see her come back after tossing around for a whole afternoon, she seems like nothing happened, hehehehe..."

Yang Yuan cooperated by saying a few dirty words, paid the deposit for the meal, and then said goodbye and left.

Now, he has conducted an on-site investigation and has also filled in the gaps in the investigation of Duck Brother.

What he needs now is to develop a detailed and impeccable revenge plan.

And Wang Jinbo was the one who opened the curtain of this revenge drama...

……

It was evening again.

In the teahouse of "Shuiyunjian", only Li Shishi and Dan Niang were left.

Looking at a beauty under the lamp, she becomes even more beautiful.

What's more, the two people under the lamp are a pair of natural beauties.

Dan Niang nervously turned the teacup in her hand and said, "Tomorrow, we will lure him into the trap."

"worry about what."

Li Shishi smiled and said, "That little prince of the Jin Kingdom is willing to tell you all kinds of lies to convince you to follow him back to the North Kingdom."

"I'm not worried about him..."

Dan Niang said, "Our original plan was to have a few scholars and literati drink tea next door, and then let these scholars speak out to let Deputy Envoy Han know. But Madam went directly to Deputy Envoy Han today, is there really no problem?"

Dan Niang was smart, and Li Shishi was even more discerning. They both realized that ever since Wanyan Quxing saw Dan Niang's "mother", he could no longer stop thinking about taking Dan Niang and her family back to the north.

The reason..., they all knew it tacitly, but they just didn't want to make it clear.

What they are thinking about now is how to expand the impact after Wanyan Quxing fell into the trap.

Li Shishi smiled and said, "That Deputy Envoy Han was sent by Zeliang to be by Wanyan Quxing's side, waiting for an opportunity to catch him. In that case, why can't we become allies and work together to set a trap for Wanyan Quxing?"

“He’s the golden man.”

"But he is also a person who is very happy to help us dig holes."

Li Shishi said: "I found him and told him that the young prince Wanyan used both soft and hard tactics to force my daughter to return to the north with him. Although my daughter was reluctant, she was afraid of his power and begged Deputy Envoy Han to seek justice for my daughter and me. Guess what he said?"

Dan Niang's eyes widened and she asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Shishi smiled and said, "Not only did he agree immediately, he even gave me some tactful advice, fearing that I would not know what to do."

"It turns out that the officials of the Jin Dynasty were so deceitful and treacherous..."

Dan Niang was stunned for a while, then sighed, "That's fine, but... Erlang was not here in the afternoon, and we took the initiative without informing him..."

"Why ask for instructions on everything as long as it helps his plan?"

Li Shishi was somewhat disapproving.

Thinking back to the time, when she was still young, she, as a woman, presided over such earth-shattering events as the assassination of the Grand Marshal Liang Shicheng and the false emperor Zhang Bangchang. Did she ever discuss this with anyone?

That little brat Yang Yuan is not some wise man who can plan everything for himself. I still need to ask him for instructions!

Dan Niang smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, forget it. I just hope everything goes well tomorrow."

As she spoke, she began to mutter to herself: "Reed sprouts and Xishi milk, blue smoked ham..." Li Shishi asked curiously: "Why are you suddenly reciting the names of dishes?"

Dan Niang said, "At noon today, Erlang ordered a few dishes from Zhiweitang. I think this is Erlang's favorite flavor."

Li Shishi curled her lips slightly: "Didn't he say that you were just someone he asked to help?"

"In the beginning, it was indeed!"

Dan Niang had a shy face and spoke in a teasing tone: "It's just...love has grown over time, and now I and the master are in love with each other."

"Oh!"

Li Shishi was not interested in her love life at all. She gently pushed the teacup in front of her and said, "Drink some tea."

Dan Niang became anxious and asked, "Go on, ask!"

Why doesn't this person play by the rules?
If you don't ask, how can I tell you that I have already given myself to Erlang!

……

In order to avoid a collision with Wanyan Quxing, Yang Yuan would leave "Shuiyunjian" before noon every time he went there.

But today, he walked into the "Shuiyunjian" restaurant under the distant surveillance of Yu Jiguang and others. After a moment, he changed his clothes and walked out again.

There were several fishing boats parked on the shore of West Lake.

They appear here every morning and unload fish, shrimp, vegetables and various ingredients.

However, the boatman of one of the small boats was played by Duck Brother.

Ya Ge and his fellow boatmen carried shrimps, crabs and vegetables into the restaurant. When they came out with empty baskets, one of them was replaced by Yang Yuan.

Yang Yuan boarded the empty boat, sat at the stern, held his bamboo hat in his hand, and glanced around.

Yu Kongmu and a few of his men were slowly moving their hands and feet under a distant forest, like old men doing morning exercises.

Brother Ya picked up the bamboo pole, pushed it into the water, and the boat drifted away.

The boat docked at Yongjin Gate, where a mule cart was already waiting.

Yang Yuan got off the boat and got into the car, which then rushed through Yongjin Gate and headed straight towards the Imperial Street...

……

Today was Wang Jinbo's day off, so he went to the market early in the morning and bought a lot of food.

Wang Jinbo is a glutton, and the most important thing for him is to satisfy his appetite.

Therefore, his cooking skills are quite advanced.

Today is his day off which comes once every ten days.

According to the old rules, Yan'er would come to his house at noon that day, the two would share lunch, and then spend a pleasant afternoon together.

Because in the evening, Murong Yaner had to rush back to "Zhiweitang" to sell wine.

Wang Jinbo was very skillful. He cut, washed and fried all the ingredients. Everything was ready.

By the time Miss Yan'er was about to arrive, the tea had been brewed and the wine had been warmed.

He walked into the kitchen, humming a song, and started cooking.

He timed it very well.

He didn't want to finish cooking the dishes too early, as a slight difference in the heat would make a huge difference in the taste.

This is something a gourmet absolutely cannot tolerate.

So the first things he prepared were the dishes that took a long time to cook or boil.

Smelling the aroma of food gradually coming from the pot, Wang Jinbo hummed a song and lifted the lid of the pot.

Mist was rising, and Wang Jinbo was just about to take the spoon and scoop some soup to taste it when a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

Wang Jinbo's room door and courtyard door were already open at this time. Those were the doors he left for Murong Yi'er.

So Wang Jinbo’s first feeling was that Miss Yan’er had arrived.

Are you here so early today?

Hehe, this coquettish foreign woman is probably also thinking of asking me to punish her.

Wang Jinbo chuckled and leaned back: "Yan'er, you are so impatient..."

Before he could finish his words, Wang Jinbo was stunned.

When he leaned on it, he didn't feel the softness it should have felt, but instead a hard chest.

Wang Jinbo was shocked and was about to take action.

However, the person behind him was faster than him.

A strong arm suddenly wrapped around him and tightened his neck.

At the same time, the elbow that hit his back was also pinched accurately on his tendon by a hand like an iron clamp.

This is the method used by people in the government to arrest people, a small capture.

Of course, even if the means are the same, the power produced by people with different speed, eyesight, accuracy, and strength will be very different.

Wang Jinbo himself was very good at this kind of grappling technique, but he never expected that today he would be subdued by the method he was good at.

Because he understood, Wang Jinbo knew very well that he couldn't break free now.

So, he gave up struggling.

Now he just wants to know who this "colleague" behind him is?
