Chang’an Small Restaurant

Chapter 50: Bright and dark currents

    In the evening, Pang Erniang really came as promised, and Shen Shaoguang really took her to a quiet seat in the corner. On the wall shelf above the table, there are garlic seedlings raised in white porcelain pots. Because Shen Shaoguang was inattentive, he didn't eat it when it was the most tender, and it would get old after a few days. , wait for it to die. Although it can't be eaten, it looks lush and beautiful.

   

    Pang Erniang sat down at the seat under the garlic seedlings and silly dolls. Shen Shaoguang asked her what she would like to eat. Small shop, no matter how good it is, can it be better than the kitchen of the Guogongfu?

    But since she said she was here to eat, she naturally had to deal with it seriously, so Pang Erniang asked her to pick up the delicious ones.

     Shen Shaoguang served five or six kinds of expensive dishes such as squirrel fish, as well as soup, main food and snacks, and a full meal case.

    Seeing the bright squirrel fish on the porcelain plate, the red agate meat, the green emerald balls, the white and tender monkey brain tofu, Pang Erniang could not consciously speak up, just the appearance... in the market It's a rare sight in the middle of noon, no wonder so many people cheered at noon, and no wonder Master Yuanjue liked it so much.

    Pang Erniang first took a pair of chopsticks squirrel fish, um, sweet and sour, delicious, really delicious!

    Pang Erniang couldn't help but hold two more chopsticks.

    The maid next to her was a little surprised, Erniang has always been picky about her diet, when did she return to chopsticks like this?

    And then Pang Erniang ate another piece of agate meat, four or five small jade balls; the monkey brain tofu I don’t know how to make, it was fresh and tender, without the slightest bit of beany, Pang Erniang also I ate a small half bowl; this jade-pointed noodle had the character of a royal banquet in the palace. It was exquisite, beautiful in appearance, and the stuffing was fragrant. I ate three of them unconsciously; It's green, with red bean fillings inside. It's not very sweet, but it's soft and glutinous. It's good to eat in spring, so Pang Erniang sandwiched another...

    In the eyes of the maids who were surprised and even worried, Pang Erniang lived up to her expectations - she was exhausted.

    Shen Shaoguang came to greet her after being busy for a while, looking at the leftovers on the table and Pang Erniang, who was a little lazy but had a happy expression after eating, oh, her fighting ability is good, I saw her like that before Son, just think of it as a smoker and drinker.

    The dishes in her store were popular, and Shen Shaoguang was also happy, so she personally made a bowl of hawthorn licorice drink and brought it to her to help her digestion, so as not to eat so much at night and accumulate food .

     

    Shen Shaoguang was finally able to relax, brought a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus honey water, and sat with Pang Erniang.

    The rain hit the peach oil window paper, making a rustling sound. The candle shook slightly, and across the table, Shen Shaoguang and Pang Erniang chatted along their mouths.

    What can I talk about? But let’s talk about the fashion in Beijing. What kind of peony flower bun is still a little crooked to look good, what kind of gold foil flower tin in spring and summer is too tacky, it’s better to put green feathers on it, and what’s popular recently and come back to Yuanshan Mei…

    "Look at my eyebrows," Pang Erniang leaned forward, "It has been changed."

    Shen Shaoguang nodded deeply, "It is indeed much prettier than the original Lian Juanmei. I am afraid that Lian Juanmei was specially prepared for the son of the go-getter Mo Xie, and we ordinary people can't draw it."

    Pang Erniang didn't know the allusion of "Mei Jian ruler", but she also felt that Lian Juanmei was not good-looking, but it was popular in the palace. Looking old fashioned?

    Shen Shaoguang felt that this child was poisoned by fashion. Fashion and beauty are two completely different things! In order to save Pang Erniang's makeup, Shen Shaoguang sold her a famous quote from Gabrielle Coco Chanel a thousand years later, "A lady surnamed Xiang once said, 'Trends are fleeting, styles are forever', you smack smack, don't you think? This makes sense."

    The charm of famous quotes is that they can span time and space, no matter what era, they can shock people. Pang Erniang frowned, and the more she touched it, the more she felt that what she said made sense, and she thought that the person who said this did not know which aristocratic family in this dynasty was named Xiang, but because her family was only a newcomer, Pang Erniang did not study it seriously. , did not dare to ask, for fear of showing timidity in front of Shen Shaoguang.

    Pang Erniang discovered later that this little lady Shen knew a lot about fashion in Beijing. How did she know about the daily firewood, rice, oil and salt in this market?

    Shen Shaoguang smiled lightly, "Although trends are fleeting, beauty is eternal."

    Shen Shaoguang dipped in wine and drew a face on the table, and explained to Pang Erniang what three courts and five eyes mean, "Generally speaking, the closer to this standard, the better looking. We put on makeup, It is also to make up for the deficiencies and make the facial features closer to this standard."

    Pang Erniang was literally opened the door to a new world, she opened her mouth slightly in surprise to look at Shen Shaoguang, and then looked at the wine painting on the table, after thinking about it, she nodded sharply.

    Shen Shaoguang said more and more when she saw that her children could be taught, "The red bean and red lips that were popular in the past two years, just a little bit, put it on the big face of the silver basin, is it really beautiful? There is also a forehead." Speaking of this fashion, Shen Shaoguang wanted to complain, "I shaved the hair on the forehead, so that the forehead is as wide as Suzaku Street, why? Do you want to take a carriage? Hua Dian, think that the venue is not enough, and the practice can't be opened, so do you want to develop another one?"

    Pang Erniang laughed with a "pochi", among so many fashions, the only thing she didn't follow is this "opening". It doesn't look good, but it does trend, and lasts longer than when the various brow shapes were trending.

    The two were chatting, and it was about time for an update before Pang Erniang left. Pang Erniang didn't remember until she left, she didn't wait for Lin Shaoyin today, she said happily, she even forgot about this...

    Shen Shaoguang greeted with a smile: "See you tomorrow, Erniang."

     

    Pang Erniang had been messing with Shen Shaoguang every day for seven or eight days, and her face became more and more round before she came to Lin Shaoyin.

    Lin Yan was working overtime late again, and came back after breaking the night ban. Seeing the lights of Shen Ji, he got out of the car and let the attendants go back first and walked in slowly.

    As soon as I entered the door, I heard Mrs. Shen's laughter, "This makeup looks like a fuss, it needs to be detailed and serious. Pretty, I will focus on painting the red lips, if the face is full of thick ink and color, I want to stand out everywhere, and it will become a palette for painting..."

     

    To meet Pang Erniang's eyes that suddenly lit up, Lin Yan lowered his eyes, nodded slightly to her, and walked towards the seat in the opposite corner.

    Shen Shaoguang turned his head, Erniang's hard work paid off, she spent twenty taels of silver, and finally came to this one.

    Pang Erniang lightly touched the peach blossom hairpin on her temples, stretched the placket, raised her eyebrows to look at Shen Shaoguang, and asked her if her clothes and makeup were appropriate?

    Shen Shaoguang nodded affirmatively, today's Pang Erniang is indeed very beautiful, with pretty peach blossom makeup, flowery blouse, and a charming girl with stockings, more splendid than when she first met last year, Look too much. Erniang is still very aura when it comes to makeup.

    "Lin Lang—" Pang Erniang stepped forward to Yifu.

    Shen Shaoguang avoided going to the kitchen, and pulled Ah Yuan, who was going to bring tea out, to avoid embarrassment.

     

    "It's just a matter of politics." A faint male voice.

    "Is Lin Lang busy with the Shangsi Festival? Will Lin Lang go to Qujiang? I heard that this year's Shangshi Jinshi will ask for Qujiang to explore flowers, is it true?"

    "Yes." But I don't know which of the three questions this "Yes" is to answer.

    "I heard that Lin Lang was also a Tanhua Lang, is that true?" The hope and cowardice in his voice made Shen Shaoguang's heart move when he heard it. The girl's mind is always poetry...

    However, such a serious Lin Shaoyin still has such a romantic experience? But on second thought, yes, it's not surprising that this man was chosen as the Tanhua Lang because of his appearance and demeanor. At this time, Tanhualang was not the special title of the third jinshi, but picked up a temporary elegant position held by the youngest and most beautiful among the new jinshi, specializing in visiting famous gardens and picking flowers.

    "It's late at night, girl, go back as soon as possible." The voice became more and more cold.

    "Son, I want to ask—"

     "Let's go back, girl." Pang Erniang's words were seriously intercepted.

    Pang Erniang didn't understand anything, her big eyes filled with mist, she bit her lip, stomped her feet and turned away.

    After hearing the door slam, Shen Shaoguang asked Ah Yuan to bring out the tea.

    When Pang Erniang first spoke, Yu San felt that Lin Shaoyin was inauthentic, and he was a provocateur. Later, when he heard him reject it, he felt that he was hard-hearted and did not know how to pity fragrance and jade. Yu San frowned and glanced at Shen Shaoguang, what kind of vision do you have? Just know how to look at the face!

    Shen Shaoguang took out the menu and asked Lin Yan with a smile, "What will Lin Langjun eat today?"

    Listening to Shen Shaoguang's high-sounding "Lin Langjun", compared with the "Lin Lang" of the Pang family girl just now, Lin Yan pursed his lips, "The little lady can arrange it at will."

    "Okay, Langjun wait!" Shen Shaoguang took the menu and smiled.

    Lin Yan's mouth pursed even deeper when he heard the "Lang Jun" with his surname removed, just like calling a random diners.

    Shen Shaoguang returned to the kitchen and asked Yu San to scramble eggs with tender chives for Lin Yan, stir-fry bacon with scallions, stir-fry spring sunflower, steam tofu, chop coriander and mix it with Made a light water ball in the minced meat. Two people make it together, it's very fast, and it's done in a while, plus the pretzel, and let A Yuan send it out on a tray.

    After a while, I guessed that I had almost finished eating, and Shen Shaoguang came out to say hello, "Lin Langjun, what else can you add?"

    Lin Yan paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "Very good, the vegetables are very tender, and the dumplings are also very fragrant, thank you."

    “…” Oh, Aunt Mary’s apple pie! See what I hear? This Lin Shaoyin actually praised it as delicious! What was the stimulus for this gentleman?

    "Lin Langjun, you're welcome." Shen Shaoguang smirked.

    Lin Yan glanced at her, lowered her head and picked up the tea cup.

    The author has something to say:  Lin Shaoyin: My grandmother said to praise more, but it seems that it does not work much... Or is it too little?
