After the gourmet up dressed as a spoiled man

Zhao Zhen carefully moved his fingers through a gap and looked around. He did not fall to the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked down to see a man holding his arm.

As soon as she moved, the man let go of his hand.

Zhao Zhen raised her head with lingering fear and saw the man's face, her eyelids were slightly lowered and her nose was straight, but she was wearing a face scarf to cover the lower half of her face. From her perspective, she could see the man's deep black eyes.The man was tall and wearing a black cloak, and his voice was also low when he spoke just now. In the elegant and misty light on the street, he felt warm and unreal.

Zhao Zhen took a look and suddenly her heart trembled. She quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to look any more. Her arms trembled inadvertently. She felt that the elbow he grabbed just now was behind several layers of thick clothes and it was only a brief contact. Hot and spicy.

She was petite, and seemed to be completely covered by the tall man in front of her. She lowered her head uncomfortably and pursed her lips. There was a blush on her cheeks, but the night was fading, and no one could see clearly.

Seeing that she didn't make a sound, the person next to her asked again: "Miss, are you alright?"

Zhao Zhen clenched his sleeves before replying softly: "I was chasing a thief just now, and he stole my purse. Thank you, sir, for saving me."

The situation was critical just now, what if I fell to the ground and my face was scratched, what should I do? My daughter’s family pays most attention to appearance, Zhao Zhen tried her best to cover her face and was ready to break her arm, but she was helped by someone to save her. this disaster.

"You're welcome, is the thief you're talking about the short man over there?"

He pointed forward, and saw a thin and small man on the ground lying there crying, as if he sprained his ankle from running too fast and was stepped on. He couldn't stand up right now, and he grinned and rolled his eyes. It was as if he wanted to rely on others, but no one around him dared to approach him, so he could only let him act like a rascal on the ground.

Zhao Zhen snorted and immediately reached out to him and said sharply, "Give me back my purse, or I will send you to the government."

The thief broke out in cold sweat in pain. Just now there were so many people that he was anxious to get rid of the people behind him, but he didn't see who stepped on him. He took out a few purses and shouted, "Take them all!"

There were six or seven purses with different patterns, large and small. He did not expect that so many people would have their things stolen by him. Zhao Zhen picked out his own and Xiao Liu’s purses and put them away, and said to the crowd, “There is a thief here. Come and get your bags!"

The crowd suddenly became noisy, and many people pushed forward. Zhao Zhen stepped out of the crowd and walked towards the direction where he was standing just now. The man had disappeared.

She stood there and frowned slightly. Recalling the scene just now, her heart became more and more uneasy. The beating of her heart seemed to be clearly audible in the noisy street.

The heat on his face was even hotter. He was too nervous to see the man's face clearly just now, but he remembered the clothes. Zhao Zhen's mind was racing with thoughts until he heard Xiao Liu's worried voice.

"Miss, are you okay, but you scared me! What were you watching just now?" Xiao Liu was so anxious that her voice turned into tears, "Don't scare the servant anymore, it was too dangerous just now, miss, please let's go back ?”

Zhao Zhen will calm down now and feel that it was a little reckless to chase the thief by himself just now, and put himself in a dangerous place.But then I thought about it, but how could I meet that man if I didn't chase him?

She was in a good mood, she had been out for a long time and it was time to go back, the corners of her lips curled up and she agreed, "Let's go, let's go back to the palace."

Hearing that the master finally said he wanted to go back, Xiao Liu slowly let go of his heart, only hoping that there would be no next time. The crowd was bustling just now and she couldn't catch up with the young lady. Seeing her running far away, her back was so frightened. There was a layer of cold sweat, and the palms were still wet at the moment.

"Miss, slow down, let's pick a bright place."

Xiao Liu supported Zhao Zhen to walk steadily towards the end of the street. Zhao Zhen was not reconciled and wanted to look for that man again. In winter, most people wore cloaks to keep warm. At first glance, they all looked similar, so it was not easy to find him.

Just passing by a dim sum stand, there were many people lined up at the door, and the already crowded street became even more crowded. Just as the master and servant were about to go around from behind, they suddenly heard Zhao Zhen whisper: "Wait Wait! I see it!"

"Miss, what did you see? Someone is coming from the palace?" Xiao Liu looked around with wide eyes.

Zhao Zhen excitedly pointed to a tall man who was the first in line, "That's him."

That man was also wearing a cloak of the same color and a face scarf. From a distance, his stature was about the same as that of the man just now. Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up and he wanted to leave Xiao Liu and go to the other end of the line.

Xiao Liu quickly grabbed her arm, "Miss, don't abandon me, I'll be with you."

While speaking, the man had already bought some snacks and left. Xiao Liu walked forward while protecting his master. As soon as he reached the back, he saw the figure of the man melted into the street, like a fish that disappeared in an instant in the water.

Zhao Zhen stood on tiptoe and looked to see that there was no such figure. He bit his lip and glanced at the people in the line who insisted on squeezing to the front.

"Oh, why doesn't this girl talk about etiquette? Everyone is queuing up, so I don't want to jump in line!"

"That's right. Just now, I saw them running and looking at each other. There are too many people and you have to line up. We are all waiting!"

The business of this stall is booming. There are indeed many people, but the taste is good. It’s worth it if you can eat delicious food after a while. Zhao Zhen didn’t say anything about Xiaoliu but he couldn’t let the lady feel wronged. He waved his hand and explained: “Everyone misunderstood, we don’t buy food , we're looking for someone."

There was another burst of muttering from behind, "There are so many people here looking for someone, can you see clearly!"

Zhao Zhen ignored them, that man was in the first place just now, and now there is an old woman behind, and the few pots of steamed cakes she made when they were in line had already been sold out, so they had to wait for the next pot.

"Ma'am, do you know the man in front of you just now?"

Zhao Zhen asked with a smile. She looks good and is well-dressed. She looks like a lady from a wealthy family. The old woman softened her tone after looking at her for a while, "I don't have good eyesight, but I heard a few words from the two people in front of me. Others call that man shopkeeper Lin, which means he is the owner of Li Linji shop."

"Thank you ma'am."

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed, he had found out about the man so quickly, the shop had been standing there all along, this time it wasn't like in the night market where he casually disappeared.

Xiao Liu has been with the master for so many years and has never seen her look so caring, so she asked puzzledly: "Miss and servant girl, who are we looking for?"

Zhao Zhen turned around with a smile and ordered, "Let's talk about it when we go back, don't tell others, do you know?"

"The servant knows."

The master and servant walked quickly to the end of the street without further delay.

Lin Shiyou also picked up Li Yu with steamed cakes. He came out of the noodle stall and walked along the street for a while before he saw Liu Ji's steamed cakes stand. But there were already two long lines of queues, so let's line up together. The diners said that if they want to eat his food, they have to queue for [-] minutes, and now there are more people after walking for a while.

Hearing what he said, Lin Shiyou stood obediently behind and waited, but after standing without moving for a while, he felt the surroundings were cold, and the tips of his ears turned red from the cold. He tightened his cloak thinking that Xiao Yu had stuffed it The face towel in his pocket was just enough to keep him warm, and it was warmer after wearing it. The guests in front wore scarves and hats around their necks, so they were really well prepared.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, it was finally his turn. The last pot of steamed cakes contained sweet potato cakes, glutinous rice cakes, and red bean cakes. Lin Shiyou simply bought them all. He carried two big bags, but he had to let the old woman behind him Wait a little longer.

Although the night market was lively and there were many pedestrians coming and going, it was winter after all, and after a long time, the body would feel chilly. Lin Shi was worried that Li Yu would catch the cold, so he hurried back to sell quickly.

When we arrived at the noodle stall, we saw Li Yu sitting obediently on the pony, with an empty paper bag next to him, still chewing food, his cheeks bulging, Lin Shi smiled helplessly. , Xiaoyu's stomach will definitely be uncomfortable tonight.

"It's cold, let's go back soon?" Lin Shiyou stepped forward to help him up, and took the initiative to take the snacks.

Li Yu just hiccupped when he was about to speak, and couldn't help being curious when he saw all kinds of steamed cakes in his hand, "Actually, I still want to try a piece of this dim sum, but my stomach really can't eat it. "

He licked his lips with regret, "Let's eat it tomorrow."

Xiaoyu's appetite has been getting better and better recently, and he also eats more meals on weekdays, and even eats up his favorite snacks with just a pinch. Lin Shiyou looked him up and down.

He didn't seem to gain weight, he still had a slender waist and legs when held in his arms at night, and his shoulders and back were thin. He shook his head secretly, thinking that people's appetites would increase due to the cold weather in winter.

Lin Shiyou couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, these are all for you, I won't fight with Xiaoyu."

Li Yu pursed his lips and smiled. He also warned himself not to eat too much, but he couldn't help it when he saw dim sum.

After returning to the Lin residence, Li Yu had just taken a hot bath when he lay on the bed and suddenly felt chills all over his body. He put on two quilts and fell asleep first.

When Lin Shiyou went back to the room and walked into the bed, he saw that his cheeks were flushed, and he was trembling unconsciously. He reached out and touched Li Yu's forehead, his skin was abnormally red and the tentacles were hot, as expected, he had a fever.

"Uncle Zhang, quickly call the doctor over."

He ordered the housekeeper to find a doctor, went to the kitchen to get wine and hot water, untied Li Yu's coat, warmed the white wine in his palms and rubbed his neck and palms, this trick was taught by Li Yu.When Xiaobao had a fever in Lujia Village, this trick worked.

After a while, the veil on Li Yu's head was changed, and his skin was no longer that hot. He was so hot that he didn't wake up. The doctor said it was a common wind-cold, and he would be fine after drinking some medicine and sweating. up.

Thinking that the fever had subsided, Lin Shiyou breathed a sigh of relief. He never thought that Li Yu would wake up in the middle of the night with a stomachache and vomit several times. The redness and heat on his cheeks faded and he turned pale. Moaning and whimpering, he broke out in a cold sweat again.

When he calmed down, Lin Shiyou changed him into clean underwear, fed him a cup of warm water and rinsed his mouth before tucking in the corner of the quilt, and sat on the bedside to watch over him.

Li Yu woke up early the next morning, and muttered lazily, "I won't eat anymore, and I won't go to the night market anymore."

His aggrieved appearance was really funny, and it wasn't just that he ate too much, maybe he got cold because he sweated after eating hot noodle soup and sat in the cold wind waiting for him for a long time.

Lin Shiyou was worried that he would let him rest at home today. Anyway, there was Brother Dong in the shop who could handle it. He would go to the shop later, and there would be no problems.

Li Yu turned over and agreed. After tossing and tossing for half a night last night, his body is weak, his whole body is sore, his nose is not breathing well, his eyes are sour and he wants to cry, he can't go to the store in this state, I'm afraid If the cold gets worse, I have to lie down for a few days.

"Xiao Yu, come and have a bowl of porridge."

He had no appetite and only ate half a bowl before lying back on the bed, and only left when he fell asleep in the forest.

The shop's snack today is fried eggplant box, and the drink is barley tea.

This is also what Li Yu found in the pharmacy of Liu Yuanwai's home in the capital. Barley tea has the effect of promoting digestion and removing greasiness, and it is perfect to match with hot pot.

That day, Li Yu specially taught Brother Dong and Aunt Gao how to fry eggplant boxes, and he came up with many new dishes, which were not in the recipes.Boss Qian also asked someone to write a letter, first to ask them to go to the ticket office to get the money, and second, to remind Li Yu to write down the new dishes, and when the time comes when they have saved enough, they will publish a recipe book, so that they can continue to make money.

It was sold once yesterday, and today Li Yu is no longer in the store, and Brother Dong can handle it. First, chop the pork into thin fillings, add green onion, salt and other seasonings, and stir vigorously in one direction with chopsticks. The taste is better when the stuffing is strong.

Cut the eggplant into thick slices, sandwich the meat stuffing between the two slices, wrap it in the batter, and fry it twice in the oil pan. When the eggplant is out of the pan, the oil bubbles immediately, and the batter wrapped on the eggplant box makes a sizzling sound It floated up and turned golden yellow after a while.

Xiao Xing watched from the side and couldn't help sighing, "It smells so good!"

When the eggplant box is golden, take it out and fry it again. The meat filling inside is completely cooked, and it will be even more fragrant if you sprinkle some chili powder.

Many customers ordered a few extra portions to take home. Aunt Gao fried the pan one after another, and the back kitchen smelled of oil and fat.

An old woman came to eat hot pot with her child. At first, she was not used to it. Women find it fragrant and numb, and the snacks are also special.

She sandwiched a piece of fried eggplant box, the golden shell was shiny with oil, and the outer layer was fried crispy. It is not greasy, and it is served with barley tea, a mouthful of eggplant box and a mouthful of tea. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside without being greasy.

The old woman had good teeth. She even ate five or six yuan. The more she chewed, the more delicious she was. She muttered while eating, "Let's take some back, this eggplant box is delicious!"

Brother Dong was relieved when the guests were satisfied with the meal. As soon as he returned to the counter, he saw four men who looked like servants carrying a box into the door.

Before Brother Dong could meet him, one of them asked, "Is this the shop that Lin Shi owns?"

Brother Dong frowned slightly, seeing their appearance, Zhou Zheng looked calm and didn't look like they were looking for trouble, and replied politely: "Exactly, what's the matter with you?"

"That's right. This is a thank you gift from our lady. Shopkeeper Lin must accept it."

Miss?

Thank you?

Brother Dong was confused, and was stunned for a moment, when Zhang Meng called him, "Second shopkeeper, here is another pot of tea."

He turned his head in response and said, "Wait a while, the shopkeeper will be here soon."

Lin Shiyou was helping to make tea in the back kitchen, and Brother Dong trotted in, "Shopkeeper, someone is looking for you at the door, saying that he is giving you a thank you gift for his lady. Go and have a look, I'll come here."

His eyes were slightly dazed and he was pushed out of the back kitchen by Brother Dong. The people at the door were there honestly. When they saw Lin Shiyou came out, they asked again, "Excuse me, are you Lin Shiyou? The owner of this shop?"

Seeing Lin Shi nodding his head, he breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself that this man is handsome and handsome, no wonder the master is so concerned, but this thought flashed by, and they didn't have the courage to speculate on the master's mind.

He cupped his hands and said: "Yesterday you rescued my lady at the night market. Our lady specially sent you some gifts to thank you. Please don't refuse. My lady said that she will come to the door to thank you in person in the future."

Lin Shiyou couldn't help frowning when he heard the other party's words, squinting his eyes slightly to look at the few people in front of him, as if he was trying to make sure if they were lying, he was with Xiao Yu at the night market yesterday, and after leaving him, he went to line up. I haven't contacted anyone during this period, so where can I talk about saving lives?

"I'm afraid the brothers have identified the wrong person. I did go to the night market yesterday, but I didn't save anyone. Your lady must have remembered wrongly and found the wrong person."

If they were not malicious, they would naturally go back and discuss it again. Unexpectedly, the little brother in front of him retorted without thinking, "Don't refuse, we have completed the task when we deliver it, so leave."

A few people quickly carried the box into the house, turned around and left, a few people slandered in their hearts, what the master said could be wrong, we will do what we are told!

The master also asked us to inquire if Lin Shi had any family members. Just now, looking at the situation in the store, the second shopkeeper should be his wife. She looks like a little brother, and he looks fair but looks good.

But it can't be compared with the master, the master is the color of the Tian family, no matter how beautiful the other people are, they can't compare.

Moreover, the couple didn't discuss matters together, and they separated after calling someone. It must be because of bad relationship. He thought about many situations in his mind, and finally came up with one, the master might want to hire a son-in-law!

Turning to the corner, several people got into the carriage and returned to the palace along the path to return to their orders.

Lin Shiyou looked at the box with his hands behind his back, hesitated for a long while and finally didn't open it. He guessed that these people and his young lady had misidentified the person. In the dim light at night, people were mostly wearing cloaks and fur hats, so it was easy to look vague. Acknowledge your mistake.

It's better not to open it, and they will come to pick it up when they find out that it has been delivered by mistake. It's not worth it if it is blackmailed!

The shop was busy until night, when several shop assistants heard about this incident, they all stood in a row with their chins propped up, pondering over the box.

Zhang Meng asked directly, "Brother Lin, you are not behind the shopkeeper's back and got into some romantic debts, are you! The gifts have been sent, you can't let it go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people laughed. Lin Shiyou raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, and said with a half-smile: "That's a good idea, do you dare to say it again?"

His tone sounded relaxed and casual, but fell into Zhang Meng's ears nakedly warning and threatening. He couldn't help shrinking his neck, and hurriedly laughed, "Just kidding, I think I must have admitted the wrong person!"

"I think so too. Those people are dressed in the same uniform, standing there well-behaved, they look like they have been trained, and their movements are nimble and even their walking steps are exactly the same!" Brother Dong said his own word for word. Analysis, "They said that their young lady must be either rich or expensive. You see, this gift box is made of high-quality mahogany, which is not used by ordinary people."

After he finished speaking, the surroundings seemed to be much quieter. Brother Dong came back to his senses and raised his eyes. Everyone looked at him with admiration.

Lin Shiyou nodded in agreement, "Brother Dong is right, I have indeed learned a lot from being with Mr. Liu, and I have good eyesight!"

Aunt Gao and Xiao Xing also looked at Brother Dong with admiration, staring at him until they stepped back shyly and sat behind the table, touching their noses uncomfortably.

"But this young lady won't want to promise her body after giving the gift first?"

"Didn't that person say that he will come to the door in person in the future, I guess he will come to our store sooner or later."

Zhang Meng and Li Qing guessed enthusiastically, as if watching the scene.

Lin Shiyou rubbed his fingers, he had already denied it, but the other party didn't believe it, so let's wait and see what happened.

"Hey, what will happen if brother Yu knows about this?"

……

Li Yu lay on the bed for a whole day, drowsy as if he had no bones, and he didn't wake up until Lin Shiyou came back at night.

Hearing this incident, he was still a little surprised, "Did you admit the wrong person?"

Lin Shiyou learned everything that happened when he left him yesterday. Li Yu nodded after thinking about it for a while, but he was more curious about what was in that box.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Shiyou hugged him and pecked his lips punishingly. Considering that he was still sick and didn't bother him, Li Yu's voice was low and soft when his nose was stuffy, and Lin Shiyou coaxed him a few words. Instantly, the corners of his lips were raised in joy, and he gently untied the bed curtain with one finger.

After the guards went back, they told the princess what they had seen and heard. Zhao Zhen slapped the table, "Impossible, how could I have mistaken someone, tall and tall, with a black cloak and a face scarf, how could I have mistaken him?"

The guard bowed his head and fell silent for a moment.

"Miss, although the lanterns in the night market are not too dark, they are still blurry. Could it be that they are wearing the same clothes? We...can't see the face clearly?" Xiao Liu asked deliberately.

Zhao Zhen carefully recalled the scene at that time, only to feel her heart beating faster suddenly, the man asked him in a low voice, just thinking about it, her cheeks became hot again, she hurriedly shook her head and ordered, "Tomorrow, you go to give gifts again. , just say that I want to thank you personally, and tell him not to hesitate to accept it."

The guard asked: "If the master still denies it, shall we send it back?"

"Give it to him and see how he responds."

"Yes."

Zhao Zhen waited in the palace for a long time without even drinking any water, Xiao Liu tried to persuade the master several times but did not listen, she also waited along eagerly.

After noon, the guard came back empty-handed.

"Master, he still denies it and asked us to take the things away. The seal we sealed is still there. It seems that he has never opened it."

Is it really not him?

Zhao Zhen closed her eyes and now her thoughts became more and more blurred. She panicked for a moment and made up her mind, "Xiao Liu, let's go out of the palace tomorrow, I want to see him in person."
