peasant young lady

Chapter 218 The scenery with you is worth my stop

Yang Dalang looked at the menu handed over by the waiter, deliberated on what to order, and wanted to call Cheng Xia over to have a look together, but when he turned around, he saw that she seemed to be grabbing the corner of the table seriously, but she actually pricked up her ears to listen to the movement beside her.

"What's wrong?" Yang Dalang approached Cheng Xia and asked in a low voice.

Cheng Xia smiled awkwardly at the guy standing beside him, tugged at Yang Dalang's sleeve, and carefully pointed to the side, "I think these people are sneaky, they don't seem like good people, find out what they are talking about .”

Yang Dalang glanced to the side, gave Cheng Xia a doting smile, and continued to tell the waiter what to order indifferently.

Cheng Xia watched the two cautiously look left and right, and continued to mutter.

"Then who lives on the third floor of the Linjiang Inn? With such a big shelf, how can you cover the entire floor?"

"That's to say, I also went up by accident, but it turned out to be really scary. I went to inquire after I rolled down, but the shopkeeper said that I couldn't disclose it, and it was very mysterious."

"Hey," the other person's curiosity was obviously aroused, "Then do you know who it is?"

I saw the man moved closer to the other party, and said in a softer voice, "I asked almost everyone, and then I figured out that the person living there is none other than the once famous general in the court, Wang Yue." .”

Cheng Xia was taken aback for a moment, she obviously noticed that Yang Dalang, who was about to pour tea, paused, his hands were stiff and unresponsive.Cheng Xia looked over and saw that his whole face was tense together, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his appearance suddenly became terrifying. Cheng Xia quickly patted his hand, and Yang Dalang came back to his senses instantly, as if the ferocity just now was just The illusion is normal, "I just saw that you listened carefully, so I didn't order. Now I'll ask Xiao Er for a menu. You can choose some of your favorite food."

Watching him get up and leave, Cheng Xia obviously felt the tension in his back, and Cheng Xia knew that he was trying to control himself.

Cheng Xia couldn't help sighing, this Wang Yue is Yang Dalang's heart demon, her good honeymoon trip might be ruined.Well done, what is Aunt Han's father doing running here.

It took a long time before Yang Dalang brought over the menu. Cheng Xia didn't know if he was going to adjust his emotions. Anyway, when he came back again, his condition was much better.

The menus were all authentic Fujian dishes, Cheng Xia saw that Yang Dalang was in good condition, so he took his hand and concentrated on looking at the menus.

Fujian cuisine is what Cheng Xia has always wanted to try. Although Chong'an County and Jianning Prefecture, where Qingxian Village is located, are also under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province, they are not Fujian cuisine at all.Fujian cuisine is famous for cooking delicacies from mountains and seas, but Qingxian Village is surrounded by mountains, which cannot reflect the characteristics of Fujian cuisine at all.Now that I have finally arrived on this island, I naturally have to feast on it.

Just looking at the names of all kinds of delicacies is enough to make people's index fingers move, but there are too many, which makes Cheng Xia a little unsure what to eat, and finally can only look up to the little brother for help, "What are the special dishes in your restaurant? "

The second brother got excited when he heard it, "If madam is willing, I will recommend some dishes for you." The second brother sweetly called out, and then said, "A Changting dried tofu is a must-order in this shop. This dish has a long history. It was first created in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, more than 700 years ago. Our tofu is different from other places. It is made of physalis, which is tender and not sour. It’s not bitter. We have [-] special snacks in Tingzhou, this dried tofu, but this.” The guy compared his thumbs, which means that this Tingzhou dried tofu is the top of Tingzhou’s delicacies.

Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang immediately found it very interesting when they heard the staff's explanation.

Cheng Xia nodded, "What else?"

The guy continued, "If you come here again, you have to ask for the minced chicken and golden shredded bamboo shoots."

Huh?Cheng Xia was a little curious, but she really had an impression of this dish, because her father had mentioned it before. "History of the Ming Palace. Food and Drink" once recorded: the first emperor liked to use bamboo shoots and chicken breasts the most.The late emperor was Ming Shenzong, and one of the two photos that Cheng Xia had been worrying about was taken in front of Ming Shenzong's mausoleum, Dingling.

Cheng Xia nodded immediately, she wanted to taste the taste of this dish, "What about the other two?"

The clerk continued to recommend with a smile on his face, and he could see that these two customers are not short of money, so he recommends it better, "You can also have a piece of the white snow chicken that looks like plum blossoms, and the five-willow chicken made from grass carp." You have to have one too, and finally the most unique Fuzhou fish balls, and your position is almost there.”

Seeing that Cheng Xia wanted to order, Yang Dalang hurriedly stopped him, "The two of us really can't eat so much, there are still a few days left, just try slowly in the future."

Cheng Xia puffed her mouth and nodded, if she could, she really wanted to taste them one by one, but, "Little brother, you can recommend one of the soups here."

This soup is the essence of Hokkien cuisine. It is said that as early as 5000 years ago, Hokkien people had a tradition of making soup. It is impossible to eat Hokkien cuisine without soup.

The waiter quickly responded, "Then serve another serving of boiled sea mussels in chicken soup, I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

"Okay, that's it." Cheng Xia nodded, and the man backed away in response.

Hearing the sound of waves coming from outside, Cheng Xia couldn't help asking Yang Dalang, "Where is this small island?"

Yang Dalang poured a cup of tea for Cheng Xia, thought for a while and said, "This is Pingtan Town, Fuqing County, Fujian Province. This town is on an island, surrounded by the sea, and the scenery is beautiful."

Just as Yang Dalang was talking, the two people who had been whispering next to him were about to leave. Cheng Xia stared at them for a while, then turned to look at Yang Dalang, "Where do we stay at night? Shall we go to the Linjiang Inn next door to rest? "

Yang Dalang took a deep look at Cheng Xia, and smiled, "No need, let's go for a walk first after dinner to see the night view of Pingtan, and if we get tired from walking, just find the nearest inn to stay. "

Everything went according to Yang Dalang's instructions, but what he didn't expect was that his stomach was not used to these seafood, and after leaving the restaurant for a while, he began to suffer from unbearable abdominal pain.Cheng Xia hurriedly found the nearest inn for him to rest. The inn was not far from the Linjiang Inn where Wang Yue lived. In their guest room on the second floor, they could still see the third floor of the Linjiang Inn.

Yang Dalang's stomach may still be a little weak, Cheng Xia went to the pharmacy outside to get some medicine for him to take, and saw that the sweat on his forehead gradually decreased, and his frown no longer wrinkled so much, that's all. Take it easy.

Seeing that Yang Dalang fell asleep, Cheng Xia got up and went to the window to see the night view of Pingtan.Because the Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, the lanterns in the streets and alleys have not been completely retracted, and the whole Pingtan County looks colorful.In the distance, the turbulent waves hit the shore, bringing bursts of pine waves, and the breeze carried the smell of sea water, giving people a rare comfort and tranquility.

The third floor of the Linjiang Inn was pitch black with no light at all, Cheng Xia looked back at Yang Dalang again, but felt a little more relaxed.She had a strong premonition that Yang Dalang knew that Wang Yue was here, so he would definitely not fail to act. She was afraid that he would show something tonight, but fortunately he was not feeling well, so she could feel a little more at ease.

However, Cheng Xia's eyes turned cold, Wang Yue, what is he doing here?Seeing that Yang Dalang was sleeping deeply, Cheng Xia's eyes flashed, he quietly exited the room and left the inn, and didn't come back until very late.

When he woke up the next day, Yang Dalang's body was fine. In order to make up for the temporary failure last night, he said with high spirits that he would take Cheng Xia to visit Pingtan town all day today.

Going out to sea in a fishing boat, let the waves beat against your face, and tasted the most authentic seafood delicacies on the fishing boat at noon, Cheng Xia ate it to his heart's content, seeing Yang Dalang's sour face and not daring to eat, wanting to eat but not daring to eat Looks, I am even more happy in my heart.Fortunately, Cheng Xia knew that he was not used to eating, so when he went out in the morning, he specially asked the waiter for some soft jujube cakes, so that he would not be hungry.

After drifting with the fishing boat on the sea for a day, Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang didn't disembark until the golden setting sun shone on the blue sea.The legs were almost not his own anymore, he stepped on the golden beach smudged by the setting sun, and knelt down directly on the ground.

Yang Dalang pointed at the embarrassed Cheng Xia and smiled, but was suddenly pulled by Cheng Xia, and he staggered and fell beside her, making Cheng Xia laugh out loud.The left and right beaches were very clean, she turned over and lay down on it, lying side by side with Yang Dalang, quietly watching the sun in the west gradually disappearing all its brilliance, and slowly walking down the skyline where the sea and the sky meet.

Cheng Xia looked back at Yang Dalang's handsome side face, "Do you think that our life is pretty good right now, if we slow down and look at the surrounding scenery quietly, our mood will be much more open-minded."

Yang Dalang smiled lightly and nodded, "With you by my side, the scenery everywhere is worthy of my stopping and admiring."

"You can really talk!" Cheng Xia pinched his handsome face with her hand, "Okay, the sun has gone down, and it's time for us to go home."

Walking all the way back, Cheng Xia was pleasantly surprised to find that there is a night market in Pingtan. The streets are brightly lit and very lively. Compared with the deserted daytime, there is more life atmosphere.

Vendors along the street were hawking their own things, and there were countless delicious snacks. Cheng Xia walked all the way to buy, and suddenly turned around to find that Yang Dalang was gone. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurried back to look for it. It's okay, he is standing in front of a blacksmith staring at a newly tempered sword.

Cheng Xia panicked, is he coming?It is impossible for Yang Dalang to let Wang Yue go, just as it is impossible for her to let go of those gamblers and Zhao Dezhong.

She didn't say anything, just stepped forward to ask the price, handed the silver to the boss, turned around and left with the sword.

She was not in the mood to eat the food, and she didn't want to appreciate the night view anymore. Knowing that Yang Dalang was following her, she went back to the inn directly.

Cheng Xia didn't ask anything, just lay down early at night, felt Yang Dalang lying beside her, gently patted her as if coaxing her to sleep, Cheng Xia closed her eyes cooperatively, for a long time, Yang Dalang turned over and got off the bed, took the sword on the table, turned and left the room.
