Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Chapter 161 Night Market

In the evening, a fire was lit in the inner courtyard of the palace, and a shelf was set up, on which a washed fat sheep was strung on a long wooden stick.

The young people in the palace were very excited, everyone liked this kind of activity very much, A Ping was so excited that he danced and talked about it all afternoon.

In addition to roasting whole lamb, Xiao Yu also asked people to prepare other dishes, such as pork belly, chicken wings, mutton, rabbit meat, fish, shrimp and other meats, as well as vegetables such as leeks, eggplants, lotus root slices, and cowpeas. All the dishes I could find were brought.

While roasting the whole lamb over the fire, other dishes are roasted over the charcoal oven.The seasoning includes spices from Persia and very rare cumin from the Western Regions, which is perfect for roasting lamb.

Green smoke curled up in the courtyard, exuding the aroma of various spices.Xiao Yu was sitting in the yard, far away from the fire, waving his fan to watch other people busy and frolicking, he didn't want to go over and get smelled of fireworks.

Pei Linzhi came over, took a jug and two wine glasses in his hand, sat down on the chair next to Xiao Yu, put the jug and wine glass on the small table, and poured two glasses of wine: "Drink."

Xiao Yu turned to look at him, reached out to take it, clinked glasses with him lightly, and took a sip: "It's so sweet." Yellow rice wine is sweet and mellow.

Pei Linzhi looked at the group of kids who were busy, and said with a smile, "They are having fun."

Xiao Yu laughed: "Young people should be like this. In our place, in summer, every night, the streets are full of this kind of barbecue stalls, and the men are shirtless while drinking and eating skewers. It's so beautiful."

"Skewers?" Pei Linzhi heard a new word and turned to look at him curiously.

Xiao Yu explained: "It's just barbecue. It's skewered with a skewer and grilled. It's called a skewer. Eating barbecue is called a skewer."

Seeing him talking, Pei Linzhi's eyes began to lose focus. Guessing that he was thinking about the past life again, he stretched out his hand, covered the back of his hand and rubbed it lightly: "From now on, we will often masturbate."

Xiao Yu came back to his senses and grinned: "Okay. In fact, I have another idea. I can promote this eating custom to the night market. It must be very popular, it will be very popular."

"It's pretty good, maybe it will work." Pei Linzhi said with a smile.

A Ping came over with the grilled mutton: "Daddy, I'll give you some meat."

"It's ready so soon? I'll try it." Xiao Yu picked up a string of mutton from the plate, put it in his mouth and took a bite, "Why does it taste like this? The sauce is too strong. It seems that I still have to do it." ah."

Pei Linzhi laughed: "Aren't you too hot?"

Xiao Yu said: "If it's hot, let it be hot, the stage is set up, the show must be sung well, don't waste your efforts."

Xiao Yu rolled up his sleeves and grilled mutton kebabs in person, and at the same time instructed Yu'er and Qingyou who were in charge of the barbecue, what condiments should be used for which dishes, and he spoke clearly and logically.

After Xiao Yu finished pointing Jiangshan, he continued to come back and lean on the chair to drink and eat meat.The afterglow dyed the sky a light yellow, and the tired birds returned to their nests, passing by the sky above their heads.

Xiao Yu thinks that this is the life that people should enjoy, and hopes that people in the world can drink and eat meat leisurely like he is now, and enjoy the leisurely and beautiful time with his lover and family.

After eating and drinking enough, the sky had already darkened, Xiao Yu washed his face and said to Xiang Yang, "Is everything ready?"

Xiang Yang nodded: "It's ready, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu got up: "Then do it now."

Pei Linzhi reached out and grabbed his wrist: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yu played tricks and smiled slyly: "Wait a minute, you will know in a while. Don't follow me."

Pei Linzhi was extremely curious, but still didn't follow.

After returning to the room, Xiang Yang moved all the candles in the room to the table, facing Xiao Yu's face, and said, "Your Majesty, is this the beginning?"

Xiao Yu looked at Xiang Yang: "What are you planning to do for me?"

Xiang Yang looked into Xiao Yu's eyes and licked his lips: "What does Your Majesty want to make?"

"Tell me what you can do, so I have a choice." Xiao Yu is actually curious about what the so-called disguise is, and how it is different from makeup.

Xiang Yang said, "You can pretend to be old, ugly, or change your gender."

Hearing the last one, Xiao Yu's mouth twitched: "It's better to be ugly, just don't look like me now."

Xiang Yang nodded: "Yes!"

Xiao Yu sat there with his eyes closed, letting Xiang Yang paint on his face. He almost fell asleep, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally heard Xiang Yang say: "Your Majesty, it's ready, look at it." .”

Xiao Yu opened his eyes, looked at the bronze mirror that Xiang Yang handed over, and saw a vague and unfamiliar face, not ugly, but ordinary, he said with satisfaction: "Okay, that's it."

Pei Linzhi's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Hearing his voice, Xiao Yu laughed, "I'm done with my work, I can go out now." He got up and walked outside the door.

The light outside was a little dark, Pei Linzhi didn't notice that he had changed his appearance: "Mysterious, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yu walked under the lantern and raised his head: "Look at my face."

Pei Linzhi approached and took a look, his face became weird, and he wanted to reach out to touch his face, but Xiao Yu reached out and grabbed him: "Don't touch it randomly, it will fall off in a while. Doesn't it look good?"

Pei Linzhi looked at the ordinary face in front of him. Except for those talking eyes, he really couldn't tell what it had to do with his little Yu. If he went outside, he really couldn't recognize it: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" What?"

Xiao Yu giggled: "I want to go out for a stroll at night, but I don't want to be too conspicuous, so I asked Xiang Yang to change my face so that no one would find out. Would you like to do it too?"

Pei Linzhi smiled: "I don't need it. If you change into ordinary clothes, others will think you are my follower at most."

"Okay. Isn't it not like myself?"

"It doesn't look like that. Xiangyang, find some clothes for His Majesty."

Xiao Yu changed into his clothes and went out with Pei Linzhi. Apart from Pei Linzhi, he also brought along a guard who didn't show up often, and there was no one else. The three of them went out just like that.

Xiang Yang wanted to follow at first, but Pei Linzhi said: "You are His Majesty's personal bodyguard, it would be awkward to follow me, so don't go."

Xiang Yang retreated silently.

They didn't ride horses or drive carts, they walked out of the palace, the outside of Taichu Palace was quite quiet, this area is full of high-ranking families, there are no shops, only tall courtyard walls and vermilion lacquered gates, as well as stone lions and hanging hanging lanterns.

Pei Linzhi looked at the narrow alleys and said, "Why don't we renovate the Jianye Palace, the Taichu Palace always feels that it lacks a bit of majesty."

The opposite of the Taichu Palace used to be the house of the Huan family, but later Xiao Yi escaped, and Xiao Yu returned to the capital. The Huan family was afraid of the crime and fled to Dong Rong in the chaos, only some servants stayed behind.

Xiao Yu chose the Duke's Mansion as the imperial palace, and those servants did not dare to live here anymore and moved away one after another.The house was abandoned and was requisitioned by the imperial court to be used as a post house. Anyone who had visits from foreign missions and local officials who came to Beijing to report on their duties would live here.

Xiao Yu said: "It's okay, there is no need to waste money on this, and we will move the capital after the world is settled."

Pei Linzhi said: "It is necessary to move, but I don't know how many years it will take."

"It doesn't matter how many years. If the mountain is not high, there will be immortals; if the water is not deep, there will be dragons." Xiao Yu said.

Pei Linzhi's brows stretched out: "Your Majesty's words are very true."

When we got to Main Street, it started to get lively.Both sides of the street are brightly lit, and there are many pedestrians on the street. The weather is hot, and many people go out for a walk after dinner.

The restaurants, teahouses, and theaters along the street are extremely lively, and there are also many small vendors setting up stalls by the roadside, selling sour plum drinks, herbal tea, pastries, caramel, etc., full of vitality.

There are often Jinwu Guards patrolling the street in pairs to maintain the security of the night market.

Xiao Yu went to the night market for the first time, and it was very fresh. He looked around and picked out a lot of small things, and Pei Linzhi gave the money behind.

Xiao Yu ate jelly, and said to Pei Linzhi: "What does that store do? It's so angry, it's newly opened, I've never seen it before, go in and have a look."

Pei Linzhi looked up and saw that it was a three-story building called Ningxiang Pavilion. It was brightly lit, people were coming and going at the door, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard inside. Pei Linzhi said: "It should be a teahouse."

Xiao Yu said, "Let's go in and have a look."

Pei Linzhi nodded: "Okay."

The three of them entered the Ningxiang Pavilion, and the waiter immediately came to greet him: "How many guests are there? Do you have a reservation?"

Xiao Yu thought to himself, it's quite fashionable, and there are still reservations: "No, we came here temporarily, three of us. Find us a better seat."

Xiaoer asked: "Does the guest want to listen to the music?"

Xiao Yu thought for a while: "Let's listen to the book." I want to see what book this teahouse is talking about.

Xiao Er led them up to the hall on the south side of the second floor, Pei Linzhi said, "Is there a private room?"

"Yes, yes, private room consumption is a bit higher, starting with one tael of silver." Xiaoer said.

Xiao Yu frowned: "What kind of tea do you drink, why is it so expensive!"

Xiao Er smiled: "It's the first time for this guest, our private room here has better service, we will definitely not let the guest down."

Xiao Yu didn't speak any more, and followed him into the private room.

The layout of the private room is elegant, with woven patterned mats on the floor, a lotus bone and a lotus pod in a vase on the table, calligraphy and paintings on the walls, and a lotus screen near the window. To look out the window, the screen can be folded away and put aside.

Xiaoer asked with a smile: "What kind of tea do you want to drink? Our shop has Longjing, Biluochun, Maojian, Yunwu and other teas..."

Xiao Yu interrupted him: "Come here for a pot of Longjing tea, no powdered tea, just bring it up, let's brew it ourselves."

Xiao Er was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, what else does the guest officer need?"

Xiao Yu said, "Choose two kinds of dim sum."

As soon as Xiao Er left, there was a "pop" sound outside the window: "Guest officers, today we will continue to tell the story of "The Story of a Beauty."

Xiao Yu laughed: "There are really storytellers."

Several people pricked up their ears and listened.After hearing a few words, the door of the private room was opened, and three young women stood at the door holding a tea stove, teapot and teacups: "Guest officer, your tea has arrived."

Xiao Yu said, "Come in."

The woman put the tea stove and teapot away and started to grind the tea leaves. Xiao Yu stopped the other party: "You don't need to grind the tea, just soak it directly. You go, I will do it myself."

The leading woman in pink looked up at Xiao Yu, and looked at Xiao Yu with extremely coquettish eyes: "Guest officer, I am your tea slave, and it is my duty to make tea."

Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi looked at each other strangely, and asked, "Aside from making tea, do the tea slaves provide other services?"

The woman in pink covered her lips and giggled: "Then it depends on what else the guest officer needs."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and cursed in his heart, how could he be trying to sell dog meat?

Pei Linzhi said with a straight face, "Get out!"

Hearing this, the three women hesitated for a moment, then got up and left.

Xiao Yu asked, "Who opened this teahouse?"

Pei Linzhi said, "I don't know, I'll check later."

Xiao Yu finally listened to the story again, but the more he listened to it, the more unpleasant it became. The story was clearly adapted from Su Ying's deeds, saying that she was disobedient, showed her face in public, and was favored by the neighboring prince, which led the neighboring country to attack her country. The story of the ruin of the country.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Who made up this story?" This is secretly playing against himself.
