Chapter 9 Manxianglou

The market is noisy, and there are all kinds of things selling on both sides of the avenue.

The snow in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, and the originally clean ground was stained with a layer of snow white in just a moment.Cheng Muqing took Jinxi to a stall not far from the palace, and picked out the fattest hen.

Just as Jin Xi was taking out his purse to pay, a man passed by, probably because he was walking too fast, and happened to collide with Jin Xi.

"Oh! Why don't you look..." Jinxi was about to say something, when she saw the man's gloomy and frightening eyes.She was a little scared and hid from Cheng Muqing's side.

The man was tall, with a veiled hat and a beard, but his eyes were extremely fierce.

Cheng Muqing still had a slight smile on his face, and looked at him without any fear.

The man didn't speak, he looked away, and continued to stride forward.

As soon as he moved, the two saw that there was a thin boy on his back.

"Brother, the child on your back rolled his eyes." Cheng Muqing kindly reminded him with sharp eyes.

The man turned a deaf ear and stepped a little faster.

That's strange... Cheng Muqing trotted to keep up, "Brother! The child behind you..."

The bearded man's pace gradually increased, and he ran away in one stride.

But this also made Cheng Muqing more suspicious, almost without thinking about it, Cheng Muqing speeded up and chased after the bearded man.

She was also running extremely fast, but she was about to catch up.But the man turned around and went into a dark alley, where he disappeared.

strangeness?What about people?Cheng Muqing was bold enough to follow in.But until he walked out of this dark alley, there was no one around.

Man, lost track.

Where can I go?Cheng Muqing scratched his head and glanced around.

On the other side of the dark alley is also a street.There are more small shops on this street, some sell buns and some sell chicken racks.There are also large and small food stalls, restaurants...

All kinds of aromas rushed towards his face, Cheng Muqing sniffed it, and couldn't help but walk in one direction.

It was a small two-story restaurant, and before approaching, one could hear the sound of yelling after another.

The restaurant is clean and there are many diners.

"What would you like, sir?" A waiter walked to the door and asked Cheng Muqing with a smile.

"What do you guys have?" Cheng Muqing turned his hands behind his back and asked loudly, "But do you have stewed large intestine?"

"Yeah." The guy nodded with a smile, "Looking at the girl's face, it should be the first time you come here? You came here because you heard that the stewed intestines in our store are delicious?"

"No, it smelled."

"The girl has a really good nose." The guy gave a thumbs up.

"Your braised large intestines are with Qi Guo..."

"Hey, girl, don't talk nonsense about this." The man quickly lowered his voice, "The country will be destroyed. Tell us, don't others have to guess what we have to do with Qi country?"

"Since the country has been subjugated, it is a thing of the past. There is no need to be so serious." Cheng Muqing said, "You used to be the people who started the country?"

"No..." The guy dodged his eyes.

"People in Qiguo like pig offal, especially fatty sausage. They have many ways to do it, among which the stewed one is the most exquisite. Speaking of it, I was not used to it at first, but after eating it, I fell in love with it. "

"The girl is so clear?" The guy's eyes lighted up slightly after hearing this.

"It doesn't count..." Cheng Muqing shook his head, raised his hand and threw a few pieces of silver, "Give me two catties of stewed large intestine."

"Okay!" The guy's eyes lit up again when he saw Qian.

"Dude, have you ever seen a bearded man carrying a boy on his back?" Cheng Muqing asked casually.

"No." The man shook his head.

Cheng Muqing leaned against the gate and stopped asking.

"Have you heard? A servant of Prince Qi's Mansion was tortured and died a miserable death..."

"Because of what? And... Who is this King Qi?"

Attracted by the discussions in the store, Cheng Muqing pricked up his ears to the diners at that table.

"I heard that it was because a slave attacked the King of Qi, and the King of Qi is the King of Qi. The seventh son of the current emperor."

"Ah? So courageous? Dare to hit the prince?"

"I heard... King Qi did it on purpose." The man lowered his voice, "King Qi has always been inconspicuous in the capital. After returning from Qiguo, he has a bad relationship with Jinshang and the queen... People suppressed him, but no one stood in his position. So he designed it, showed his weak side, and let those servants beat him. In this way, for the sake of his own face, the royal family must not ignore it."

"Then King Qi is...to make the royal family value him?"

"Hmm... It seems that this prince who came back from Qi Kingdom has something complicated in his mind. He has been dormant for so many years, and he is about to rise."

Hearing this, the corners of Cheng Muqing's mouth twitched slightly.She wanted to say that you are overthinking.The truth is...His Royal Highness Qi is weak...

After a while, the clerk wrapped a bag of stewed large sausage and delivered it to Cheng Muqing.

"Thank you." Cheng Muqing smiled, and looked up at the shop sign——

Manxianglou.

After returning to the palace, Cheng Muqing went straight to Wenlan Courtyard.

Putting the newly bought hen on the stove, Cheng Muqing rolled up his sleeves to handle the hen.

Jin Xi, who was at the side, also dutifully followed and helped, "Princess, why are you chasing that person? I think that person is terrifying..."

"Inexplicably, he's a bit strange." Cheng Muqing narrowed his eyes, "Do you think he looks like the... murderer in the storybook?"

"Like!" Speaking of this, Jin Xi expressed a hundred thousand approvals, "It's so similar, his eyes are so fierce."

"The kid on his back rolled his eyes... Do you think it could be..."

"Princess, I'm afraid." Jinxi said pitifully.

"What are you afraid of? It has nothing to do with you." Cheng Muqing smiled.

"Afraid of having nightmares at night, dreaming that the one carried on his shoulders will become me..."

"Don't worry, the guards of the Palace are not vegetarians." Cheng Muqing hammered her head, but she was still a little puzzled.

Why carry a child?
Traffickers?

While thinking about it, Cheng Muqing chopped the old hen into pieces, put it into the pot and fried it with scallion and ginger.After the chicken is slightly yellowed, take out the meat, put it in a casserole, add mushrooms, white lotus seeds, and red dates and start stewing.

I don't know how long it has been cooking, but the aroma filled the whole room.

The moment you open the casserole, you can see the golden color of the pot and the aroma that hits your face.

Cheng Muqing put many of them into a lunch box, and took Jinxi to Jingyuan.

 The practice of stewing chicken comes from the Internet.
