Chapter 85 Fragrant Pancakes
Qingyun Sword Sect.
Located on the border of Suhong Province, in the Qingyun Mountains.
It was Fang Jue's first clear destination for this trip
However, to go to the Qingyun Sword Sect, you need to pass through Dongquan, half of the Waijia Suhong Province, and the road is nearly a thousand miles long.
Fang Jue was not in a hurry and walked slowly along the way.
On this day, I finally passed Dongquan Province and arrived at the junction of the two provinces. I missed Guantou. As it was getting dark, I saw a simple small wine shop at the foot of the mountain on the road ahead, selling wine in front, cooking smoke in the back, and a few horses were tied at the door. It seemed that it was for passing merchants to stay overnight.
"Come on, hurry up and rush over and stay overnight." Fang Jue said.
"Teacher, you said that when you go out, you need to be careful and cautious everywhere and think about everything so that you won't be deceived."
Li Xian looked at the distant wine shop and frowned slightly: "This wine shop is open in the wilderness, where can there be much business? Besides, it is far from the town, and purchasing goods is very troublesome. Who would open a store here? Could it be a black store?"
"I don't talk back for a day, I see you feeling uncomfortable."
Fang Jue smiled and raised his horse whip to point at the door of the restaurant: "The darker the store is, the less likely it is to open on the side of the road. Look at the seven or eight horses at the door, it means that there are already people staying there and there is smoke from cooking in the back, so it should be fine."
Li Xian glanced at the sword on Fang Jue's waist, thinking that the Master might have itchy hands and wanted to deliberately cause some trouble.
Speaking of which, these days, he and Fang Jue have also learned the Qingyun Sword Technique on the road. In fact, they are a little itchy and want some opportunities to fight.
But he was dressed like a scholar, and Fang Jue also had a mermaid card. He was respected everywhere when he passed by the town. He had never encountered a bully or a gangster along the way. Where could he have the chance to fight with others?
"Well! What the Master said is very true, I must have thought it was wrong!" Li Xian touched the little sword on his waist and nodded vigorously.
The two of them rode their horses outside the tavern. The wooden door was open, and a fragrant smell of food and wine came to their faces. There were three tables of people in the not-so-large tavern. They looked at the merchants dressed up, men who crossed weapons, and ordinary people, eating, drinking, playing and chatting, which was very lively.
A slightly sturdy but charming woman was taking care of her behind the counter, while a waiter was delivering food back and forth.
Li Xian pursed his lips a little disappointed.
It's not a black shop.
"Oh, the two young men are here, what are you going to use? But you want to stay in a hotel?" The waiter saw the person coming and greeted him.
"Please choose some delicious food and drinks, and send them to satisfy your hunger. Another pound of wine. Shutong and I will stay here at night." Fang Jue dismounted and handed the horse whip.
"Okay, please come here."
When we entered the store, the waiter quickly wiped the table and asked them to sit down. Then he arrived at the tea and went to arrange wine and food at the back.
Fang Jue and Li Xian had nothing to do, so they heard the passing merchants bragging about the mountains at the next table.
In his words, he was quite disrespectful to the boss lady, and his words were not very nice, and even children were not suitable for him.
It seems that the boss's wife is called "Three Lady". Her husband is useless and she is ill in bed all year round. She is a woman who shows up in business and can only smile and welcomes tourists from all directions. She is often called to touch her a few times on weekdays, and even enough money is enough, so she can sleep with her at night.
It seems that someone has slept and described his experience at that time, spitting and radiating, and saying that he is not young, but his methods are excellent and his abilities are indescribable...
"It sounds nice?" Fang Jue knocked Li Xian's head with chopsticks.
"I don't understand very much." Li Xian replied seriously: "But Master, you said that there are knowledge everywhere. Since you walk in the world and listen to some market discussions, you can gain your knowledge."
"Okay, next time I encounter a video hall, I'll take you to see it."
"Video Hall, what?"
As he spoke, the wine and food came up, and the boss's wife gave it to him personally.
It is indeed quite charming, with small bones and lots of meat, and it is a good ingredient. When the food is delivered, the wind blows over and makes people feel a bit fascinating.
"Young Master, please use it slowly. If you need anything, please tell me." The third lady smiled and took advantage of the opportunity to pour wine to gently pinch Fang Jue's wrist, then Ping Pingtingting twisted her waist and left.
Fang Jue's heart moved slightly and looked at Li Xian.
"There is a cloud in the crane rhyme. If you don't cut it right, you won't eat it, you won't wear it right, and you won't hear it if you don't sound right. If a woman is not right, you won't be stained." Li Xian advised him seriously.
Fang Jue thought it was right. This is not a brothel. Her husband is still lying at home to recuperate, which is not good.
After dinner, it was already dark, so I followed the waiter to go to the guest room behind to settle it.
It is called a guest room, but in fact it is just a few large thatched huts, but there is a not-so-small courtyard behind it. There are chickens and ducks in the yard, and a few cabbage fields in the outer yard, and even a small water truck. I heard from the waiter that it was all the boss’s wife who was in charge.
"Your boss lady is a diligent and capable woman." Seeing this scene, Fang Jue's impression of the third lady has improved a lot. A woman supports a family alone, and sometimes doing something unlucky, at least it is understandable.
"Hey, our boss's disease is also a harsh disease. He has been suffering for several years and cannot be shy and blows the wind. The boss's wife finally made some money and was used to treat the boss's disease. I don't know what the disease is like." The waiter pointed to a tiled house with doors and windows on the east side, which were tightly closed.
"Oh? You don't even know the condition?" Fang Jue asked casually.
"I have been here for less than three months. The boss's wife makes all the money to treat the boss. The salary is low. I heard that I often change my friends, so I really have no place to eat, so I have only come here to spend a few days of stable life." The waiter said with a smile.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work. I'm not going to have some foot washing water and help feed the horses." Fang Jue touched a few big money and stuffed it into Xiao Er's hand.
"Okay, don't worry."
The waiter said goodbye and soon sent foot washing water. Fang Jue Li Xian washed his feet. Fang Jue took out the book of strange stories to Li Xian for reading the wind. Li Xian read it with relish.
It was almost the beginning of the You hour, and the movements in several other guest rooms gradually disappeared. The people who were staying in the accommodation went to sleep one after another. Through the wall, they could hear rhythmic snoring.
"Hmm? It smells so good?" Li Xian raised his head from the book and sniffed.
"Well, it smells so good." Fang Jue also sniffed,
The taste of sesame oil,
These days, sesame oil is not a rare thing in big city taverns, but it is rare in such roadside shops. There are only three or four extremely simple dishes that can be eaten in restaurants at night. How can sesame oil be found?
Not only does it have the aroma of sesame oil, but it also seems to have chopped green onions. It smells like it is pancakes.
"Teacher, I'm a little hungry when I smelled it." Li Xian said.
"I'm a little hungry, you're waiting in the house, I'll go and have a look."
Fang Jue got up, put on his clothes and came to the yard.
Not far away, the boss's room was dark and the next room was on, and the fragrance came from the room.
It was probably the boss’s wife who was pancakes at night.
There are no refrigeration facilities these days, so pancakes are a must-have when going out. I don’t think they are delicious at ordinary times, but when they smell it, it smells so fragrant that it makes people saliva flow out.
I don't know if there is any unique secret recipe added.
Just as I was about to walk into the door, I asked the boss lady for two cakes.
As soon as I got closer, I heard a very soft giggle coming from the room.
Fang Jue was stunned. He made cakes and made cakes. What the hell is he laughing at?
