Yi Song

Chapter 19 Conan Possession
  Liu Guozhang took two steps and couldn't help but stop. He turned around and looked Yue Fei up and down carefully.

He is wearing a white round-neck narrow-sleeved green-edged blouse, with a single-word cloth scarf on his head, and two jade rings tied behind it. The cloth scarf hangs down through the rings, flowing elegantly in the wind.

Wear white boots with hard soles and soft cloth. The waist is tied with a cyan silk twisted flower belt, with a fish lip and cloud pattern jade pendant hanging on the right side and a Longquan sword on the left side.

What a handsome young man! It’s just too cheesy!
  "What's for breakfast? Do you have any suggestions?" Liu Guozhang suddenly asked.

Yue Fei thought carefully and replied: "I wonder what brother Erlang likes to eat?"

"I don't have any taboos."

“If you want to eat something fishy and meaty, there are sheep head soup, tripe lung soup, red and white kidneys, breasts, and tripe in Dongjiaolou Lane; if you want to eat noodles, there are Ruanhouqu, Tongpi Noodles, and Tongpi Noodles in Jinji Lane in East Zhouqiao Ginger Splash Noodles and Huidao Noodles.
  By the way, brother Erlang is from the south. There is Sichuan Restaurant near Taiping Bridge, which sells pork noodles, large noodles, and large and small smeared meats. There is a Nanshi restaurant near Wuchengwang Temple, which sells fish dumplings and cooked tung skin dumplings. and fried fish rice
  I don’t know what brother Erlang wants to eat. "

Liu Guozhang stared at Yue Fei, not knowing where to start.

This handsome young man not only makes buns, but is also a foodie.

Liu Guozhang thought for a while and asked: "Pengju, well, let me call you Brother Fei. What do you think is delicious?"

"Brother Erlang, how about we go to Taipingqiao to eat at Sichuan Restaurant."

"What's the point?"

“Firstly, it’s close to here, secondly, the food there is really good, and thirdly, many celebrities and scholars like to eat there.”

"Oh why?"

"The Three Sumen Masters came out of Meishan in Xichuan, especially the Dongpo layman, who is comparable to the great scholars of the Tang Dynasty and Li Du. I don't know when news came out in Tokyo that the Three Sumen Masters have loved to eat at Sichuan Restaurant since childhood. Only with good food can one be talented and have thoughts flowing freely.

So after a night of entertainment in the West Street of Xiangguosi Temple, celebrities and scholars went there to have a breakfast to sober up and gain some talent. It’s hard to say that after eating too much, I acquired a little bit of Dongpo’s talent. "

Yue Fei was beaming with joy as he spoke, while Liu Guozhang was dumbfounded.

marketing! Naked marketing!
  "Then let's go to Taipingqiao and eat at Sichuan Restaurant!"

"Okay, okay, I'll lead the way." Yue Fei cheered and walked in front with his head held high.

After morning, there were more and more people on the roadside. People, merchants and vendors came from all over to fill the vacancy left by Bianliang City after the nightlife craze subsided. The first half of the week began - daytime. Life.

After passing Daningfang and walking along Caihe North Street for a while, I saw Caihe.

The Cai River enters through the Guangli Water Gate, makes a semicircle around the south wing of the outer city, and exits through the Puji Water Gate. There are many waterways in the middle, connected to the Bian River running through the inner city to the north.

Where there is a river, there is a bridge.

Turning around, you can see the Taiping Bridge. You can see many soft sedans, cool sedans and mule carts coming from the north. There are also literati wearing dongpo scarves and jackets, staggering towards .

"Brother Erlang, these are the scholars who came from the tile houses in the inner city, out of Chongming Gate and Zhuque Gate to have breakfast and sober up." Yue Fei pointed at those people and said excitedly.

"There are professors and students from Taixue, Guozixue, and the Four Schools, including bachelors from the Hanlin Academy. In particular, there are most professors and students from Taixue, as well as those from the Hanlin Painting Academy and the Calligraphy and Art Bureau."

Liu Guozhang understood the meaning.

"Brother Fei, do you want to study in Imperial College?"

“Everything is inferior, but reading is superior!

The ancestor of Peng Ju's family has always been obsessed with studying. For generations, he has dreamed of one day having a roll call outside the Donghua Gate. Unfortunately, the Yue family has been farming for generations and has no talent for reading. When he arrived in Pengju, although he had been taught since he was a child, he was still young and ignorant, and was very naughty. Now he can only wield swords and guns, and be a rough martial artist. "

"Who is called a good man by the Donghua Clan? In Hebei and Hedong, and in the northwest, how many of those who sacrificed their lives and blood for the Song Dynasty and defended their families and the country were called by the Donghua Clan? Brother Fei, times are about to change. ”

"It's going to change, how?"

"Haha, no matter how it changes, we have to fill our stomachs first. We smell the aroma, and the more we smell it, the hungrier we get. Let's go, go!"

Liu Guozhang kept urging, and Yue Fei laughed, "Brother Erlang, that's right in front!"

"Brother Erlang, this shop in front is a gourd soup shop. It specializes in gourd soup cooked with gourd leaves, pigs and mutton. It is served with big cakes. It is very delicious."

Yue Fei pointed to a shop on the roadside and said.

At the entrance of this store, there is a scaffolding made of banyan and carved wood, with fans of pigs and mutton hanging on it.

"Brother Fei, have you ever eaten in there?"

"I had it once. This store has a plaque written by Zhou Taizhao, so it is also called Zhou Taizhao Hugeng Store. It is one of the few gourmet restaurants in Tokyo." After another hundred or so steps, Yue Fei said: "Brother Erlang, Come on, this is Sichuan Hotel."

Liu Guozhang was secretly speechless. He thought it was just a roadside food stall. He didn't think it was a large restaurant with a front store and a back yard, and a row of shops facing the street.

The doors and windows facing the street are decorated with red and green silk cloth tied into flower ribbons. The main door has four double doors, with a plaque hanging on it that reads "There is a Phoenix in Xichuan".

There were three or five people from the Huo family in the hotel, wearing clean coats and trousers, green cloth wraps on their heads, and a pair of homespun traction shoes, standing at the door, greeting the passing guests warmly.

Seeing Liu Guozhang and Yue Fei approaching, he quickly shouted: "Two guests, please come inside. I have beef and mutton bone soup that has been cooked all night. Let's have a bowl first to get rid of the cold autumn."

Walking into the Huanmen with flowers and stepping into the front hall, there is a courtyard inside, with people coming and going, and it is noisy. There are corridors on both sides, connecting two rows of rooms, some of which are large, and can seat six or seven tables.

As the Huo family came and went, occasionally men and women could be seen walking through, bowing to the guests, wishing them good luck, saying a few auspicious words, and selling sales with a notebook.

"Brother Fei, what do those men and women do?"

Yue Fei followed his fingers and said, "Oh, the one who talks and sings has come to do business so early."

The Huo family who was leading the way turned sideways and said: "Recently, things are not going well in various places. More and more people are entering Kaifeng City to make a living. There are many people talking and singing at night. Our shop alone has fought several times to win customers. I'm back.

Some of the talkers and singers were too old and weak to compete, so they chose this stall. There are few guests, but there are always those who were not happy with what they heard last night and want to order a copy. It is better than fighting fiercely with colleagues. If you are lucky, you can earn a little more money early and fill your stomach. "

"I see."

"Do you want a large room or a single room?"

Liu Guozhang turned to look at Yue Fei.

Yue Fei came over and said softly: "The big room is like this one next to it. The single room is a separate room, quiet and elegant. The Huo family will help block those who talk and sing, and will also stop those who ask questions. Just pay more."

Am I short of money now?
  I didn’t hear the sound of copper coins rattling in my bag with every step I took.

"Huo family, get a single room."

"Okay, sir, please come this way."

After sitting in a single room, Huo Jia took a pen and paper, wrote down what Liu Guozhang and Yue Fei ordered, closed the door and left.

"Brother Xiushan!"

"Brother Lianshui!"

There was a faint sound of singing greetings to each other from next door. Four or five people seemed to have made an appointment to have breakfast here.

After a while of excitement, everyone sat down, ordered food, and started talking to each other.

"Brother Xiushan, how is the progress of the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" commissioned by the government?"

"It's early! "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", as the name suggests, naturally covers the territory of our emperor and Song Dynasty. But we only have two legs, how can we possibly see all the miles of mountains and rivers?"

"Yes, even if you ride a horse or a carriage, you can't finish it in several years, so how can you paint? What ideas have you come up with?"

"Taishi Cai had early asked Zhongshu Province to write about each state, and asked painters from each state to draw the mountains and rivers in various places and submit them to our drawing academy. Based on these drawings, each painter came from the southeast, northwest, and based on what he saw with his own eyes, Melt them together and then paint.”

"That would cost a lot!"

"If the officials like it, Taishi Cai will naturally do it with care. With Taishi Cai maintaining it, it is not a problem. It just takes ten or eight years to complete the painting. I, the Song Dynasty, are not short of money, and it is more than enough to support our group of painters!"

While talking, someone came over to say hello and said that a certain celebrity was also having breakfast here. The people in the single room next door all went out to say hello, except for Brother Xiushan.

After a while, a person came in from the next door and started talking to Brother Xiushan. As they talked, they started arguing. The argument became more and more intense, but both of them deliberately kept their voices down.

After a few words, it suddenly stopped, and then there was the sound of the door closing.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and the Huo family's voice, saying that they wanted to come to eat.

There was no response, but Huo Jia still pushed the door open. With a clang, the plates and bowls fell to the ground, followed by his horrified shouts.

"Killed! Killed!"

I encountered a murderer just after breakfast. Could it be that I am possessed by Conan?
