Chapter 25 The Legendary Bone

Yu Sanlang left the ox cart at the inn at the city gate, carried two backpacks, and walked into the city with his wife and daughter, explaining as he walked:

"We don't have a house in the city, and the roads are narrow and crowded, so it's not very convenient to drive a car. We might as well leave it at the inn first. We can keep it for a day for a dozen coins."

What a great business man! Yu Hongdou turned around and looked at the "Si Hai Inn" which was getting farther and farther away, and secretly gave the innkeeper a thumbs up.

"Let's go have a meal first, then go to the county government office to find Xiaosong, and then go to the dental clinic to have a look." Yu Sanlang told his wife and daughter about the itinerary and pointed in the direction of the county government office.

Xu said nothing, and Yu Hongdou had no time to ask any questions. Her eyes were not enough, and she looked around, wishing she could grow three heads like Nezha.

Yu Sanlang planned to take his wife and daughter out for a good meal, but now he just went to places where there were a lot of snacks.

Firstly, I wanted to bring my wife and daughter, who have never seen the world, to see the bustling street scene. Secondly, it was neither early nor late, so it was not suitable to eat anything too greasy.

Yu Hongdou looked at the steamy and bustling snack gathering place, and her eyes were burning from the smoke. No matter what era, this scene full of fireworks would make people's hearts boil and their mouths water.

Steamed buns, dumplings, fried dough sticks, soy milk, tofu pudding, porridge, soup, noodles, and pancake boxes made of thin pancakes with chives and eggs as fillings...

In Yu Hongdou's eyes at this moment, these foods that she eats every day at home are filled with the same glittering special effects as in The Cooking Master Boy, not to mention those snacks that she has never heard of or seen before, but seem delicious at first glance.

“Youchui~ Sanzi~ Crispy and crunchy Sanzi, Youchui with brown sugar bean filling~”

"Liver clips~ fresh and juicy liver clips~"

"Bone dumpling~hot bone dumpling, freshly out of the pot~"

Yu Sanlang remembered that there was a restaurant in the area that served delicious mutton soup and pancakes, so he thought of taking his wife and daughter there to try it. However, his daughter stood in front of a frying pan and refused to leave.

"Hongdou wants to eat bone dumplings?" Xu looked at her daughter, who was staring at the frying pan and drooling, with amusement, and nodded to her husband.

"Okay, little guy, what kind of fillings do you have for bone-in-cheek dumplings? How much do they cost?" Yu Sanlang felt happy when he saw his greedy daughter, so he turned around and asked the vendor.

"There are two kinds of fillings: fish filling and quail filling. They are ten cents per portion, and there are three in a portion. They can be fried or eaten with soup, or you can buy fried ones and a bowl of soup for one cent." The vendor manipulated the oil pan and colander skillfully, and introduced the recipe briskly.

"One of the two fillings will be fried, and the other will be a soup with fish filling." Yu Sanlang made a decision quickly. He took out copper coins, counted out twenty of them and threw them into the basket in front of the vendor, then pulled his wife and daughter to sit at the small table in front of the bone noodle stall.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. Here are three servings of bone-in dumplings, two fried and one soup." The vendor repeated the customer's order and also conveyed the message to the person behind him who was wrapping the bone-in dumplings.

Yu Hongdou's gaze shifted to the noodle counter behind the vendor.

The woman picked up a square piece of dough, scooped a spoonful of stuffing and spread it in the middle. Then she pinched the diagonal of the dough and folded it into a triangle.

Then choose a corner and dip it in water, press the other corner on it, and soon a big ingot will appear on the dough board.

"So this is bone-filled wonton~" Yu Hongdou was a little speechless. God knows how long she has been longing for food like bone-filled wonton, but in the end this is just Yuanbao wonton.

The stall was run efficiently and quickly three servings of bone-in dumplings were ready.

Yu Sanlang did not ask the vendor to deliver the food to him. He went to get it himself and put it on the table. He also asked the bun seller across the street to bring him four meat-filled buns and a bowl of porridge.

The family of three sat at the simple stall and had a delicious brunch.

Yu Hongdou was a little disappointed at first, but fried foods are still quite tempting to her now.

Especially when a spoonful of vinegar was poured on the crispy fried bone dumplings, the aroma of the vinegar evaporated by the hot oil instantly aroused her appetite.

When you take a bite, the crispy skin and the tender and juicy quail are so delicious that they will make your eyes drop.

At this moment, Yu Hongdou could no longer remember her indifference just now. The slap in the face came late but it did.

The couple smiled at each other when they saw their daughter eating with relish. It had been a long time since Xu had left the house, let alone eating at the market.

At the moment, my husband and daughter are by my side, and I will see my son soon. I am very happy and eat a lot more.

The family of three left the stall full and walked along the stall towards the county government office in the south. Along the way, they harvested a lot of food that was easy to carry and preserve. Some of it was prepared to give to Yu Song as a snack, and some was left for the greedy cat beside him to take home to satisfy his craving.

"Does the county magistrate live in the county government office?" Yu Hongdou stared at the drum and stone lions at the entrance of the government office with some curiosity. Isn't it creepy to live in such a place?

"No, the county magistrate's family has many people, and the back office is too small, so they bought a house behind the yamen. Now your brother and his family live in the back office." Yu Sanlang shook his head. The county yamen was indeed too small to accommodate them.

He had seen that the county magistrate had brought more than ten guards with him, as well as his family members, maids and servants, etc., and if added together, they might be as many people as the Taoyuan Village population.

Yu Hongdou admired the county magistrate in the novel very much.

The county magistrate was called Tan Bailu. He was a pleasure-seeking, fearful, and somewhat superstitious man. He was very kind to everyone around him. Although he looked like a dandy, he was actually very capable and his subordinates were very loyal.

It's a pity that the actors in the film and television drama were not well chosen. They are ugly and have no acting skills, which makes this outstanding and popular character wasted.

Although the novel is the worldview of this world, Yu Hongdou knows clearly that the people around her are living people.

Even though she had a good impression, Yu Hongdou had no intention of taking the initiative to approach him.

These people from aristocratic families are so smart and capable, and she was afraid that she would not be able to hide her true colors, so last time at the village chief's house, when she heard the word "sir", Yu Hongdou turned around and ran away.

Yu Sanlang took his wife and daughter through the side door, greeted the gatekeeper, and stuffed a bag of food into the gate. Then he took his wife and daughter into the back yamen with a smile.

As the family of three entered the garden of the back court, they heard someone calling Yu Sanlang's name.

"Yu Fu? Are you here to see Xiaosong? This is..." A pale-faced scholar in his early twenties called out to Yu Sanlang, looked him up and down, and then looked at Xu and Hongdou behind him.

Behind the pale-faced scholar were three young men in brocade clothes, two large and one small, who were looking at the three members of the Yu family with puzzled expressions.

"Hello, sir. Yes, I brought my wife and daughter to the city to do some work, and came to see Xiaosong on the way." Yu Song looked at the three young men and did not ask any questions. He just bowed slightly and clasped his hands together in a salute, respectfully replying to the pale-faced scholar, the county magistrate.

Yu Hongdou felt relieved when she saw that her father just bowed and clasped his fists but did not kneel. To be honest, she could accept the reality, but it was a bit awkward to kneel down casually.

"Oh, this is your daughter. I remember her name is Hongdou, right?" County Magistrate Tan Bailu carefully looked at the little girl leaning against Yu Sanlang's legs.

Seeing the little girl who looked like a jade carving blinking her cat eyes and looking at him without any shyness, he couldn't help feeling happy when thinking of the child in his wife's belly and waved to Yu Hongdou.

Yu Hongdou looked at her father, and when she saw him nod, she walked up to Tan Bailu.

Tan Bailu smiled and pulled out a purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into Yu Hongdou's pocket. Without waiting for her to thank him, he turned around and said to the three teenagers behind him, "Taoyuan Village is beautiful, you can go for a walk when you have time. Then ask Yu Song and Yu Pei to go up the mountain with you to play."

Yu Hongdou held her purse, not knowing whether she should interrupt the other party to thank him. When Tan Bailu turned around, her eyes followed and met the youngest of the three boys.

The other person met Hongdou's eyes, was stunned for a moment, then immediately grinned, opened his mouth wide, stuck out his tongue, rolled his black eyeballs to his upper eyelids, leaving only the whites of his eyes, and made a face that he thought was scary.

Yu Hongdou, who was used to seeing all kinds of weird emoticons, was not frightened. Instead, she was amused and burst out laughing.
