eat meat every day

During the half-month voyage at sea, most of them were dry goods, such as dried fish and meat, and dried vegetables such as fungus soaked in water. When you eat and talk, you will be greeted with a fishy and salty smell.

At this time, as soon as they landed on land, their feet were on the loess, and their noses were filled with the aroma of fresh food. The three of them and the dog were so moved that they were about to shed tears.

The few people chose a decent restaurant nearby. The store is bright and clean, and there are not many diners. There are all kinds of tofu on the menu. They ordered a few and were about to sit down and drink a pot of hot tea, but the waiter in the store was full of smiles. Said to them: "Several guest officers, our rule here is to pay first, then serve."

Zou Yi frowned when she heard this, but she still didn't say anything. She took out the silver and was about to pay the bill. The waiter with a smile on her face handed it over and pushed it back: "I'm really sorry, this money is private money, there is no money in the store. Fa'er accepts it, you guys have to go to the trading company to exchange it for current currency."

Zou Yi's complexion was not very good, but he still asked Qing Yu to take out some common bank notes, but the waiter in the shop hurriedly swept them away, and said with a smile: "The notes are too big, I can't change them in the shop, please forgive me. "

This can be described as the most naked chasing customers.

Hearing this, Zou Yi finally clicked his tongue unbearably, and Zou Lachang imitated the sound of "Wow", trying his best to put on a ferocious face, but unfortunately no one appreciated it, so Dongshan held it under his arm and left. restaurant.

The few people were not interested in eating after being disturbed like this, so they found out where the trading house was, and they rushed to the trading house to exchange the current currency.

The three of them walked upstream along a clear stream. I don't know if it was because of the heavy water vapor beside the stream. Dongshan felt a little cold, so he pulled up his collar and hugged Zou Sausage even tighter; Holding the baby in the hand, but because it was too big and dishonest, I clamped it with a creaking nest. Zou sausage was already a little stuffy. At this time, when Dongshan exerted force, it felt blocked by the sour smell of the fat bald donkey creaking nest. It's two nostrils, either too stuffy to breathe, or so sore that you can't help but struggle vigorously.

Because it struggled too hard, Dongshan had no choice but to let go. As soon as it landed, it took several deep breaths, and then stuck to Zou Yi's heel, refusing to leave.

Qing Yu was talking privately with Zou Yi, when a third person suddenly broke in, even though it was a stupid dog, but it was also very obtrusive, he poked it with his foot, but didn't move it away, so he had no choice but to ignore it.

Zou Yi reached out and stroked Shun Sausage's hair: "We're new here, we've never met each other before, we've offended them, and we can't even eat a meal in peace."

After hearing this, Qing Yu sneered and said: "I'm afraid it's just a newcomer, bullying foreigners, it has always been like this, nothing surprising."

Zou Yi said: "But they are businessmen after all, how can there be any reason why they don't want money when they come to their door?"

Qing Yu shook her head, obviously puzzled.

They talked for a while, and suddenly heard a grunt behind them, Zou Yi turned her head, and saw Dong Shan rubbing her fleshy belly, looking at the stream with a flushed face.

Seeing this, Zou Yi smiled and said, "What, are you hungry?"

Dongshan nodded reservedly, and Qingyu rolled his eyes at him: "You have a lot to do." As he said, he took out half a dry noodle cake from the package, "Let's eat something first, the business will be ready soon." arrive."

Dongshan thanked him and took it. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a shadow. When he looked up, he saw a fat boy squatting by the stream, scooping the contents of the wooden bucket into the stream.

Originally, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but this fat boy was rosy, his cheeks were like a fresh and juicy peach, and he was born with him like a pair of twin brothers; in addition, he cried so much that his nose and tears covered his face, it was a real shame. Poor, so he pouted to his senior brother and the others, and walked over by himself first.

Looking closer, Brother Juicy Tao scooped up tofu nao, which was white and tender and still steaming. Seeing that his nose was about to drip into the bucket, Dongshan hurriedly pushed him by the shoulder. , He suddenly collapsed on the grass, crying loudly.

Dongshan: "..."

Zou Yi and Qing Yu, who rushed over so badly, gave Dong Shan a reproachful look.

The three of them were going to wait for him to finish crying, but the aroma of the tofu nao was too strong, and the man was howling endlessly, Qing Yu pulled him up from the ground impatiently: "Hey, this tofu nao is so fresh, just pour it out!" What a pity to drop it, can I eat it?"

Brother Juicao blew his nose and said in the midst of his busy schedule, "Yes."

As soon as the words were finished, three passers-by rushed to grab the porcelain bowl, squeezed some shrimp skin fried dough sticks, sprinkled with minced green onion and minced pork, a drop of soy sauce, and started eating hula hula on the spot.He was stunned by the wind and clouds, and he forgot to cry.When he reacted to grab the bowl, the barrel had already bottomed out, and Qing Yu picked up the barrel to pour the last bit.

He widened his eyes and stammered, "You... what are you doing?!"

Qing Yu took it for granted: "You say you can eat it, but you have to throw it away. What a waste, it's better to give it to us. It's the best of both worlds."

The man froze for a moment, sniffed his nose hard, and the tears that had just stopped seemed to surge again, Zou Yi hurriedly changed the subject and said, "If you can eat it, why throw it away?"

He flattened his mouth aggrieved and said: "I used to sell tofu nao on the street. Today someone tasted the tofu nao from my house and 'Xingfentang'. If it falls on the ears of 'Xingfentang' Li, if you sue me for copying recipes, don’t I have ten mouths and can’t explain clearly?”

The three were stunned.

He saw a few people reacting, and then he reacted, and said: "I'm afraid you are new here?"

Zou Yi nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, he didn't care about his snot anymore. He wiped his snot with his cuff casually, and sat upright and said, "Since you are newcomers, you have to go to the countryside and follow the rules of our country Du. In fact, this is also a good thing, as you all know." Our Du country is developed because of tofu, and all kinds of tofu dishes are competing for beauty. Some people got their brains wrong and stole the recipes written by others. , to protect those original authors who have worked so hard. You also have to be careful, don’t use your brains, if you plagiarize, you will be punished.”

Zou Yi was taken aback for a moment, Lan Niang's prematurely faded face flashed in front of her for a moment, and she became dazed.

He blinked, and a smile appeared on his face: "That's indeed a good thing, but it's a bit too alarming for you to lose your efforts just because of someone else's casual words, even if the taste is similar, it may be a coincidence .”

The man shook his head mysteriously: "How can you explain this kind of thing clearly? Once there are similar signs, the sentence will be severe."

"Even if you kill innocent people by mistake?"

He sighed and said: "Yes, but the original intention is good after all. If I didn't have this method, I would have to worry about it every day, afraid that someone would peep."

Qingyu squatted so numb, stood up and moved around: "Since you are afraid of bumping into someone, you should let it go if you fall down this time. If you can, you will have to sell it again. What should you do then? Change to another flavor of tofu nao?"

Brother Juicy Tao sat on the ground with a sad face, but unfortunately he was really thin and juicy, even though he was very sad, the wrinkles between his brows were not deep, and he looked happy instead.

Zou Yi also stood up, smiled at him and said, "How about making sweet tofu nao?"

The man slapped his thigh violently, grinning while baring his teeth in pain: "Yes, yes, it's a really good idea."

The three solved his big troubles for him and were about to leave. He stood up and bowed to thank him. Zou Yi waved his hand and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "We went to a restaurant before, but that restaurant said that private money cannot be used." ,is that so?"

Brother Shui Mitao said: "Where is it, it is obvious that the official silver is the one who cannot be bought and sold at will, listen to his nonsense."

Zou Yi said again: "He told us to change the currency, saying that Du Guo only recognizes this?"

Brother Juicy Tao said: "It is true that most of them use current currency, but there are also a lot of private bank. Maybe they are afraid that the seal on this private bank is not familiar..." He suddenly asked as if thinking of something, "You guys What's the name of the restaurant you went to, how did it look, and how many people there are?"

Dongshan replied quickly: "I took a quick look, but I didn't remember the name; although the shop is not big, it is very decent, and it looks exquisite; there are not many people, there was only one old man when we went."

The man said clearly: "So that's how it is. Every year, we in Du country will choose ten restaurants to be named 'Sanjing Restaurant'. They are considered to be the top ten restaurants in Du country. Everyone has sharpened their heads and wants to squeeze in. The restaurant's The inspection was originally conducted in secret, and the store owner didn't know who the examiner was, but now it's basically a joke, everyone knows who the examiner is, and they have to wholeheartedly cook for the examiner, that's why they drive away the customers."

After speaking, he pursed his mouth, as if extremely disdainful.

The three thanked him, and just in case, they went to the commercial bank to exchange some currency.

A few people ate tofu nao, and their stomachs were already full. After the initial hunger passed, they began to stroll leisurely.

Dongshan bought a lot of good-looking but useless things, but because Qingyu was in a good mood, he didn't blame him too much.Due to the developed tofu industry in Du State, the corresponding soy products are also very prosperous. Later, several people ate fried stinky tofu, steamed tofu dumplings, and phoenix brains; People's livelihood is poor and the ingredients are not refined, but Du Guo's fried bells are first fried in lard suet, then fried in sesame oil, mixed with salt and pepper wine, golden in the eyes, and crisp in the mouth.

A few people walked and strolled, and unknowingly walked back to the way they came from. The place was extremely prosperous, and the three of them were going to find a home inn, where they would stay tonight.

He was walking slowly, when suddenly a tall, tall person wearing a pitch black cloak rushed out of the alley, he hurried past with his head bowed, Zou Yi glanced hastily, and for some reason, his heart skipped a beat.

In the next second, his prediction came true.

Zou Lachang suddenly barked at the entrance of the alley, Qing Yu quickly walked to the entrance of the alley, and saw someone lying in a pool of blood in the alley!

They rushed to the man and found that he was the old man who had eaten in the restaurant before. He had a dagger stuck in his heart, and his feet had already entered the gate of hell. Calling for someone at the alley, and he saw that the old man opened his mouth, blood sprayed out of his mouth continuously, and even blocked his nose - but even so, he still opened his mouth with difficulty, his chest seemed to be The fish in the oil pan fluctuated violently—Zou Yi saw that he seemed to have something to say, so she leaned over, but the old man shook his head and said weakly, "Hand..."

Zou Yi froze for a moment, looked at his own hand, then at the old man's hand, and found that his right hand was tightly clenched. It took him a lot of effort to break the old man's hand away. At this time, the old man had stopped spraying blood foam.

What the dying old man desperately clutched in his hand was a yellow-taped jade pendant.
