Chapter Thirty-Three

It's midwinter, and Linnan City flies a little bit of rain and snow, the snowflakes touch the ground, and the cold and fresh breath is blowing around the city. Take a breath and cool down into your heart and spleen. Aluo wore a pale green cotton robe, with a confident smile, slowly stepped down and strolled around. The shops in the city are full of large and small items, fur goods from Qiguo on the west, mountain products from the Xia kingdom in the southwest, and silk quills of the Chen country in the south. Scattered and scattered eaves, a small and simple restaurant. A Luo commented in her heart that the tourism trade has driven Linnan's economic development. Take a look at Linnan today, it is Ningguo's largest logistics base.

The liveliness of Linnan has another flavor than Fengcheng. Businessmen with various accents, busy footmen. Because Linnan is a large pier, passenger ships are still frequent in the cold winter. Only the soldiers patrolling around the area are reminding everyone that this is a border city.

Leisurely strolled out of Nanchengmen. Stand at the pier to see the merchant ships here. The taller has two buildings, more than 20 feet long, with sails and masts. She was very curious, how many people can such a large boat move, approached and looked closely, and saw a square hole exposed under the deck of the boat. Imagine the magnificent scene of the rowing from the hole after the boat started.

From Zhang Ma's small restaurant to the street and then ran to the pier outside the city gate to see the lively for a long time, the scenery is good, what to do to make money, she has not figured it out. Aluo, who is a maritime hawker who travels to several countries, thinks she can't do this now. She also didn't want to open another Suzy Zhai as a boss lady, and the restaurant was so annoying that she couldn't get anything wrong. As for getting a singing and dancing house to play the piano and dance to entertain the public, she only remembers that most of the modern entertainment venues have a background. Ning Guo's Fengyue venue also has to go to the government office for filing and collecting taxes. She can't go for filing. Linnan has a large population and a large number of soldiers. There is a saying that Xiu Cai encountered soldiers, which is unclear. What do the sergeants do on vacation? Of course, she went to the place of fireworks, and she didn't want to be smashed by a waiter.

Walking leisurely back to the city, Aluo walked calmly, but her mind turned to various thoughts repeatedly. In front of Yuanwangjian, a few banyan trees are spending a flag, and the letter Yiluo Restaurant is a good name. When you see the word “restaurant”, you feel that the hunger in the belly is burning. A Luo pouted, swallowed her mouthful, and had not eaten any food from the streets of Linnan, and stepped forward.

The restaurant is built next to a tree, and a spring water flows down the hillside from the back, and it is repaired as a hanging foot. The ground floor on the ground floor is between the rocks on the slope. The wooden single eaves rests on the mountain. Cotton paper, exquisite and simple. The green banyan tree covered the small courtyard. The sloping land under the washing of the mountain spring is green. While blocking the peep of passing pedestrians, you can sit inside and see the street scene outside. A Luo liked this place at first sight.

Bouncing on the fine water drops on the cotton robe, she walked in with a smile. The heavy curtain that the restaurant used to keep out the cold wind just came up, and a rush was coming. The brazier is on the shelf. The host also carefully threw in a few orange peels, and the fragrance was overflowing. Some calligraphy and paintings were scattered on the wall of the shop, and Zhang Qin was even arranged in a corner, which was elegantly arranged. A Luo is curious, not knowing what kind of person the owner is.

It may be past noon and there are not many insiders. There are only two or three tables in the lobby. She went straight to a window and sat down. After a while, a soft voice said to her, "Do you use tea or wine?"

Aluo froze, looked up, and a pretty woman in her 20s looked at her with a smile. "But you opened this store?"

"It's Yingxiu."

Yingxiu? A Luo smiled lightly: "It's a good name." She had a good impression on the woman who opened the shop. The smile could not help but deepen: "I will come to Linnan at the beginning of the next year, and the girl Anyingxiu recommends the dishes in the store? Pick a pair of two or three, but can you have rice wine? Can Wen Yihu send it?"

Yingxiu's heart beat, and the gentleman in front of him asked with an undeniable tone. When did Linnan come to such a cute boy? Compared to the ice next to him, the smile seemed to bloom like a spring flower. She looked involuntarily.

A Luo saw Yingxiu getting a little dreadful, her eyes looked to the side, and she glanced down. She secretly wondered. People said that the dragon and phoenix in Fengcheng Five Sons were not bad, and when they entered the restaurant, they encountered One that does not lose those few excellent varieties.

Seems to feel the sight here, the man turned his head to look at Yingxiu, Yingxiu blushed slightly, but shook his head slightly. The man saw A Luo again, but also for a moment. What a jade carving!

At the sight of Aluo and the man, Rao was melting in the brazier in the shop, but she felt the cold air blowing. She frowned slightly. A smile floated to Yingxiu and said, "But the boss didn't hear me clearly? Just two or three side dishes, one hot wine."

Yingxiu's face turned red suddenly, and she said quickly: "Just wait a moment, Yingxiu will prepare now."

She walked quickly to the counter, telling her man sharply. A Luo can't help but be proud. Entering the restaurant for dinner caused the boss lady to wait in person. After secretly wanting to go back and show off to Xiaoyu.

Not long after, Yingxiu personally took the tray from the second-hand, and set down three small dishes, a hot wine, and whispered softly: "This is stir-fried winter bamboo shoots, baked rabbit meat, oil-explosed small river fish. All local products, wine It's a small restaurant that is famous for its drunkenness. It's only available in winter. The warm wine has a strong fragrance and long staying power. Don't be greedy. "

A Luo is very surprised, this Yi Luo restaurant seems to be in the right. Could not help but have a little interest in Yingxiu. Asked, "Is the boss free, tell me about the characteristics of this local product?"

Yingxiu passed a surprise in her eyes, and her eyes seemed to turn around to the person next to her, and smiled, "It's good to not have to do with Ya Xing."

"The boy asked me. I heard that you are heading back to Linnan. If you don't want to abandon it, would you explain it to you?"

A Luo saw that the handsome ice cube was interrupting. Her eyes turned towards Yingxiu's reddish face, and it seemed that the proprietress was interested in ice cube men. I don't know what the ice cube man interjected at this time meant. He laughed: "Okay, when I come to Linnan in the beginning, people here are so enthusiastic."

As soon as she said it, Yingxiu's face became more flushed, and hurriedly said, "The two sons sit wide, Yingxiu and the guests want to say hello."

The Ice Cube man sat down and said, "Under Gu Tianxiang, I don't know what my son is calling?"

A Luo was startled, and it turned out that he was one of the five sons of Fengcheng, Gu Tianxiang, the son of the right-hander. People who have never seen him, originally came to Linnan. My mind turned a few times: "In the next Chengyi, Fengcheng people, came to Linnan Province and came back. I do n’t know what is unique about these dishes. I also asked Xiongtai to explain." And poured another glass of wine. The mouth is full of fragrance, and the stomach is hungry, so I can't help eating more. Suddenly thought about it, he looked up and smiled at the ice cube man: "After walking around the city for a day, hungry, why don't you and the brothers and one together? Eat and talk."

The ice cube man opened a smile and didn't quit. He poured a glass of wine and slowly said, "The winter bamboo shoots are not easy to find. The winter bamboo shoots are buried in the ground and do not show up. It requires the experienced mountain people to see I can find it. Inexperienced people may not be able to dig one out the day before. I heard that there is a way to look at the bamboo shoots. There are bamboo shoots where the bamboo shoots are aligned vertically, but not under each bamboo shoot. There are bamboo shoots. The fragrance is sweet and crispy, and the stir-fry is the best. "

Aluo nodded again and again, and ate a few more bamboo shoots. It was really sweet and crisp. She was so happy to hear such an interesting thing, and toasted Gu Tianxiang with a cup. He stared at him and continued.

When Gu Tianxiang touched A Luo's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little familiar, but he couldn't remember. He came over to talk about one thing: watching the characters of A Luo secretly applauding, the other is that the situation between the two countries has become increasingly tense recently. After hearing that she first arrived in South China, she deliberately explored the truth. After drinking a sip, he slowly said, "Rabbit is everywhere, but Linnan rabbits are not ordinary. It is not easy to catch this kind of mountain hare. It is smaller than ordinary rabbits, but you ca n’t find the rabbit hole. After leaving the mark and looking around, two small holes can be found within a distance of two meters. It must be sealed, and then smoked out at a hole, Zhang Net waits, if the rabbit is surprised when the hole is closed, no After you set up the net, you will flee quickly, so usually two or three people will go to catch a rabbit. "

A Luo laughed: "It turns out that the cunning rabbit really has three caves. I don't know if people who practice martial arts can easily catch rabbits?"

Gu Tianxiang froze, and said, Does she recognize me? Know I will work hard? He had doubts in his heart, and always thought about everything. He said lightly: "If Tianxiang goes to catch the rabbit, he won't be able to run out of my palm no matter how cunning."

A Luo felt that there was something in his words, but at this time he couldn't understand it, and smiled. "Gu Gongzi is a big deal for catching rabbits. What's the point of this oil-explosive critter?"

Gu Tianxiang's words of temptation were dismissed by Aluo lightly, and the doubts in his heart were even heavier. Who is this man who is like a crown jewel and a man of demeanor? He stayed in the army for a long time, and he was unnaturally embarrassed. Ordinary people were stunned by his cold eyes. He was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly. The eyes in front of him were clear and flexible, but obviously had no internal force. Where did he come from and ignore his aggressive style? Gu Tianxiang had the thoughts to check the bottom of Aluo. The moment continued: "This kind of small river fish is also called rock fish. It cannot be caught with a net. It has to be worn down at night to shallow water. The surface of the water is illuminated by lanterns. When the fish **** on the rocks to rest, the eyes are fast. Caught. It slips and never stands still during the day, and it's as thin as a finger, making it difficult to catch. "

A Luo made a sound like a bang. Gu Tianxiang knew everything about Linnan. The mind must be fine, otherwise how can even pay attention to the details. After the talk, the dishes are almost eaten, and Gu Tianxiang has no intention of leaving. Does he recognize himself? Obviously impossible, never met, and the portrait three years ago is not a photo, how much can it look like? A Luo does not know for what purpose Gu Tianxiang wants to talk to himself. He is the commander of the Southern Army and the Navy. He has a little ability. A Luo was also in love, and when he saw that he would not leave, she also found some interesting facts, saying that the whole bamboo feast, one rabbit and five meals, and the whole fish feast accompanied these three dishes and drunk smallpox.

Gu Tianxiang was even more shocked. Cheng Ye is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she seems to be well-informed. The banquet she calls is not something everyone can eat. Asked carefully: "Little brother seems to have traveled a lot? I have a lot of knowledge and admiration!"

Aluo's mouth thought for a moment that if I listened to the full Han speech again, from tableware to materials, you are afraid that your eyes will fall out. I am not knowledgeable, but I have lived for more than 20 years. With a chuckle, he said, "I'm going to eat something delicious, some just hear about it, just talk with my brother Tai Lele."

"I like to listen to my son's gossip very much. I don't know if my son would like to sit with him for a while. In such a weather, it can be a talented person like a son, and it is a pleasure to talk about extraordinary people."

A Luo thought, if I didn't know your identity, I would have lifted my feet and left, but now I dare not. Anyway, I'm idle, chatting, I have a lot of goods in my stomach, and I can't finish talking for one thousand and one nights. Maybe I'm glad to talk, and I can learn more about the situation in the city. At present, Aluo and Gu Tianxiang chat from the sky to swim in the water, and there are interesting stories about the customs and products of various countries.

Gu Tianxiang's eyes grew louder and louder, and the coldness in his eyes gradually decreased a bit, instead of curiosity and admiration. No matter how lingering, A Luo finally looked at him frankly and knew the style of Fengcheng. A bit of Fengcheng slang was spoken fluently and kindly. Gu Tianxiang finally believed that Cheng Cheng was not a fine work of the enemy country. He laughed loudly: "I have a fate with my brother. I do n’t know how long the brother can stay in Linnan. Chat with your brother. "

Aluo was a bit stunned when she was drunk. She laughed, turning from a son and brother to a little brother. Gu Tianxiang asked about the situation of Fengcheng after a while, and she wanted to find out if her origin was true. Aluo remembered the registration book filled in when she entered the city, and she said, she ca n’t treat me as an enemy nation. At this moment Gu Tianxiang was relieved of doubt, and the two talked naturally.

Gu Tianxiang relaxed his mind. In addition to the military's absolute silence, he increasingly liked Aluo's hearty opinions. Seeing that it was a little too late, he slowly got up and hugged his fist: "Tianxiang still has important things to do, leave first, and have time with the little brother to have a drink."

A Luo answered with a smile. Alone slowly walked back.

In the study room of the backyard of the East Army of Linnan City, Liu Ying gently replied: "Miss Three has been strolling in the city for a long time and stared at the pier outside the South Gate for a long time."

Liu Xun thought for a while and said, "Did you explore the waterway?"

"Looked at it for a while and never asked anyone."

"and then?"

Liu Ying was a little hesitant, Liu Ye turned back and said quietly: "Need me to ask a second time?"

Liu Ying busyly said: "I entered Yiluo Restaurant at six o'clock in the afternoon and met with General Tian Yi and had a good drink at the table. Xin Shifang left, General Tian Yi returned to the barracks, and Miss Three returned to Changle Restaurant."

When did she meet Gu Tianxiang? Just talk to a man, it's like a lady showgirl! Liu Ye was a little bit cheeky and suddenly asked, "I didn't recognize her as a daughter with Tianxiang's eyesight?"

"This ..." Liu Ying hesitated again. Liu Yanqi said: "Have she changed a lot? The pictures of the pigeons have opened their faces a little longer, and their eyes are as before, otherwise she would not be recognized."

"Master, according to the report from the Ming group, Miss Three behaved with the man without doubt. In winter, wearing a robe without revealing his neck, coupled with being young, it is not easy to recognize that it is a woman."

Liu Ye sighed, "I know, just follow her. If you meet with General Tianxiang again, make the people in the Ming group a little farther, remember not to let Tianxiang find out."

He fixedly looked out the window, a plum tree bloomed, and the narcissus was next to him. Also planted several tall begonias, covered red flowers, full of fragrance. He remembers scratching A Luo to see the flowers and seeing the scene that day and made her angry. She is the one who loves flowers. When I went to Citang Garden, there was a begonia in the patio. Li Xianglao told him in tears that A Luo would dig out the poems in the drizzle at the age of six, independent of the rouge. She also likes Begonia. Liu Xun was infatuated. Instructed Liu Ying: "Then go to Shuijun Military Camp to find General Tianxiang. Just say that I asked him to drink wine after finishing military service." 2k novel reading network
