Returning wild geese in autumn

Chapter 7: Modern Ding Dining

"Thousands of years... Zhan Zhao..." Bai Yutang lost his soul and looked back, only to see Zhan Zhao standing aside, his face pale.Bai Yutang expected that he would not be much better.After all, this thing is too unimaginable, Rao Zhaobai and Bai are well-informed and always brave, but they never thought that there would be such a thing as time-traveling in the world, and it would happen to them!

The two wandered around the Bao Gong Temple, roughly learning about the historical changes since the Song Dynasty, and then returned to the main hall.Looking up at the statue of Bao Gong, the two of them seemed to be in a dream, Bai Yutang looked around in a daze, and his eyes fell on Bao Zheng's family motto: "If future generations of officials and grandchildren commit crimes, they must not be returned to their own family... If you don't follow my will, you won't be my descendants..." Suddenly, my whole body trembled—so what if I live in a thousand years?So what if the familiar people and things are gone?As long as he sticks to his creed, he, Bai Yutang, is still himself, the Chinchilla Bai Yutang who laughs proudly at the romantic world and I am alone!Could it be that he is still afraid of this world? !

I only felt that my eyes were bright, and my chest suddenly became bright.The whole world is no longer gray and oppressive.A confident smile appeared on Bai Yutang's lips, and he was about to say something when he turned his head, when suddenly there was wind in his ear, and one of them reached out to grab his wrist, saying:

"Brother Bai, come here!"

It was Zhan Zhao who suddenly pulled him towards the door, ignoring the surprised gazes of the tourists around him, and the sign beside him that forbids strenuous exercise.Bai Yutang was surprised——

This cat has always been steady and modest, why suddenly...

Seeing clearly that the pair of beautiful sword eyebrows were knotted because of confusion, my heart suddenly moved-could the cat have thought of something?

At this time, Zhan Zhao also realized his gaffe. Seeing Bai Yutang squinting his eyes slightly and looking at himself, he calmed down his emotions silently, and explained:

"Brother Bai, this matter—maybe it has something to do with where we are fighting!"

What Zhan Zhao said was concise, but Bai Yutang immediately understood what he meant, his eyes lit up—that's right!There may be clues in the area where they competed last night!

The two looked at each other, and ran towards the direction in memory at the same time.

……

Time walked unhurriedly, slowly from morning to noon, and climbed down bit by bit.Having found nothing, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood in this barely familiar land, silent for a long time.

Just now they carefully checked everything nearby, but—there was nothing suspicious that could cause time-space transformation.

The two even came up with the idea of ​​taking Juque and Huaying back and fighting here again, but they knew it was wrong——

If a fight would have such an effect, then based on the number of times they have "discussed" before, they have experienced it all over the past dynasties.

This time, the investigation did not yield any results at all, but it almost broke the mind of the two of them.

The two couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and they searched carefully again without giving up, but still found nothing.Except for fighting here at night with Juque Huaying, they are completely useless—as for whether the "fight" will produce the effect they expected, the two of them have no idea at all...

It was past noon, but it was the hottest time of the day.Since the two had dinner last night in the Luzhou inn thousands of years ago, they have not had a drop of water, and both feel hungry and thirsty.

——"Don't care about him thousands of years ago, the fifth master will still be the fifth master! It's a big deal to open up a new world! I don't care about him, let's find a place to fill my stomach first!"

……

A beautiful landscape appeared on the modern street, and two men with extremely good appearance and temperament strolled leisurely among the numerous shops.Zhan Zhao is not very selective about his diet, whether he was in the arena or later in the officialdom, he doesn't care much about these extraneous things.But Bai Yutang was unwilling to find a messy restaurant to deal with.Both the Bai family and Xingkong Island have quite a lot of foundation, he has always been used to being particular, and Zhan Zhao knew his temperament, so he had no choice but to follow him passing by one teahouse and one restaurant after another.

...Finally, Bai Yutang stopped in front of a well-decorated restaurant, looked up, and saw a huge signboard of "Decan Seafood Big Mac" standing on the roof.

"What a domineering name! It's just what the fifth master wants!" Without calling Zhan Zhao, he walked there.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This white mouse never forgets to enjoy it wherever it goes!Shaking his head, he followed in.

The passionate Fifth Master stepped into the Big Mac Restaurant, feeling the cool breeze blowing against his face, feeling comfortable all over, as if he was in two worlds with the outside world.

There is a carved screen at the entrance, with a hollowed-out green pine welcoming pattern; there is a woven flower carpet under your feet, which is soft to step on; a small counter on the left wall, with various bottles and cans on the back; a pink plum tree with branches in the front corner. The branches are vines and the flowers are blooming.The layout of the hotel is very different from that of a thousand years ago.

There were two neatly dressed young girls standing on both sides of the main entrance. They were all dressed in dark red and straight, as if stacked out of cardboard. There were two rows of big golden round buttons on the chest, shining brightly.On his head was a strange barrel-shaped hat with a slightly turned-up brim and a gold chain.When the four of them saw the two of them coming in, they bowed in unison and said: "Welcome!" The two of them were startled, and inexplicably remembered some of the layout of the brothel—when they were thinking about how to deal with it, they saw someone else directly entering without answering.So he made up his mind, looked at each other with a smile, and walked in with a big face.

Passing by the plum tree, Bai Yutang deliberately glanced at it, and couldn't help secretly praising the exquisite arrangement: No wonder it was midsummer but the branches were full of flowers, no wonder there were only plum blossoms but no fragrance—it was fake flowers made of silk.

Walking around the screen, you can have a panoramic view of the wide hall.Although it is daytime, the lamp wall here is brilliant, and a huge circular pool of one foot square stands in the space on the right. It is about four feet high and divides the whole pool into several small pools.There are huge fish, shrimps, crabs and shellfish in it, and through the transparent glass, the teeth and claws can be seen clearly.

What they saw in front of them made Zhan Bai two feel amazed again and again. Going further inside, dozens of tables covered with milky white tablecloths were scattered among them, either square or round, with fine porcelain tableware, cups, bowls, saucers, spoons, bamboo chopsticks Should be complete.Those small and exquisite teacups were also inserted with orange-yellow handkerchiefs folded in various patterns.The two had never seen each other before, so they probably guessed it was just to clean their hands, so their favorability for this restaurant increased a bit.

It was past dinner time, and there were not too many guests. The two of them chose a table for two by the window and just sat down when a slightly thin "junior" came over and handed over the menu: "Gentlemen, Welcome, may I ask what do you need?" Bai Yutang took it without hesitation and flipped through it, and Zhan Zhao looked a little curiously at the "shop boy" who was wearing a strange outfit similar to that of the beauty at the door but of a different color, neatly removing the orange veil Spread it out, press it down with a large plate, and put the cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks in place.Feeling a little embarrassed in my heart—I thought it was for cleaning hands before, but I never thought about it...

At this time, the "little two" has already filled the water cup with warm water and poured amber slurry into the small cup.A burst of aroma came, but it was flavored vinegar.

After not hearing Bai Yutang's voice for a long time, Zhan Zhao couldn't help feeling a little strange—when did this rat stop?Looking away, I saw the white mouse looked slightly surprised, carefully studying the recipe line by line.

...Zhan Zhao is waiting...

"Little Two" is also waiting...

Finally, Zhan Zhao coughed lightly, and said, "Brother Bai, is there a dish you like?" Bai Yutang didn't move, and slowly raised his eyes to look at Zhan Zhao for a while, combined the menu, and handed it to Zhan Zhao. He said, "Of course there is! I just don't know what your cat tastes like. You can order it first. Xiao Er, is there any good wine here?"

"Xiao Er" was slightly startled, and muttered in his heart: "Xiao Er? Do you want to shoot TV by yourself?" But there was still a professional smile on his face: "This shop has a complete range of drinks, including Maotai, Wuliangye, Jiannanchun balabalabala... There are foreign wines Toastmaster, Hennessy, Martell balabalabala...the beers include Budweiser, Tsingtao, Yanjing balabalabala...what do you need sir?"

Bai Yutang tapped the tablecloth with his fingers, and thought to himself: It turns out that there will be so many good wines after a thousand years...

"Moutai, Remy Martin, and Budweiser each come to a pot!"

"...I'm sorry, sir, the drinks in this store are all in bottles..."

"Cough...then get a bottle of each!"

"Okay!" "Xiao Er" agreed, and tapped the square box in his hand a few times.

But Zhan Zhao didn't pay attention to Bai Yutang's ordering wine, his mind was all on the menu!The recipes are very exquisite, with rich pictures and texts, and the thick paper seems to be coated with oil, smooth and shiny.At this time, they knew that the writing habits of today are very different from theirs at that time, not only horizontally, but also from left to right, which is really awkward.Moreover, the characters have evolved beyond recognition, only a very small number of them can recognize them, some of them seem to be plausible, and more people don't recognize them at all.

Just when he was feeling awkward, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a playful look in Bai Yutang's eyes looking at him, and instantly understood the real intention of the white mouse to ask him to order food. After flipping through it roughly, he looked up at Bai Yutang with a smile:

"Zhan has no choice in food and drink, but Brother Bai is by nature particular about food, clothing and lodging. Zhan has always been willing to bow down. Ever since I left Xingkong Island, I have followed your taste all the way. Zhan Zhao doesn't want to overdo it, so Brother Bai can do whatever he wants. Come on, you're welcome." He pushed the recipe back to Bai Yutang while talking.

Bai Yutang raised his sword eyebrows slightly, his face was pale, and he was no longer polite. He opened the menu and picked up the special dishes with pictures, and ordered them all. "Two" write down one by one, and after ordering the last one, the "little two" said: "Sir, you have already ordered Budweiser just now, do you need to change to other varieties?"——It turns out that the last page is actually a drink column!

Pfft—— Zhan Zhao almost spit out the sip of tea he just drank.

Bai Yutang's face was slightly embarrassed, he gave Zhan Zhao a dark look, and forced himself to order calmly: "The wine is the same as before, no need to add more!"

First of all, drinks were served, and the "secondary" who served the drinks was changed again, and the clothes were not as exaggerated as the one just now, but much more concise.The two looked closely at the three wine bottles placed on a black lacquer tray, two were round and one was flat, and they were made of glass—glass was widely used in this era!Especially the flat bottle, engraved with radial and delicate patterns, the color of the wine is reddish brown, under the light, the dark light flows, it is indescribably mysterious and elegant.

The two of Zhanbai had never seen wine of this color before, and they became very curious, staring at the "little two" who skillfully opened the bottle cap on the table next to them-there are also three ways to open the bottle: unscrew the white wine, amber Brown ones are the most troublesome. A strange tool is used to cover the mouth of the bottle. Twist and twist, turn and turn, and the one-inch-long stopper is slowly sucked out, making a slight sound.

Xiao Er turned around and asked politely, "Gentlemen, what kind do you pour?"

"A cup of each kind!" - they all spoke in unison.

Soon, three wine glasses were placed in front of the two of them—it should be said that there are three types of wine glasses: water-like liquor, which is only one sip in a small cup less than one inch; amber wine, which is poured into a large mouth about three inches high Inside the cup; the strangest thing is the cup containing reddish-brown wine. The bottom is a flat round bottom, and a tall and thin stick stands on it, supporting the wine cup. The cup is large and round, with a big belly. With a narrow mouth, the amount of wine in the glass is very small, barely covering the bottom of the glass.

The two picked up the red-brown wine at the same time.

Bai Yutang put his nose in and sniffed it——the strange fragrance, so intoxicating, he took a sip, and a strange smell rushed straight to his forehead, and he couldn't help frowning. After careful tasting, the aftertaste was quite intriguing.Now take another sip and savor it carefully.

At this time, Zhan Zhao had already given up on the good-looking and bad-tasting red wine, and frowned, picked up the second glass—the amber one.The smell of the wine is light, although it is not good, it is not bad at all, and the people at the next table gulped it down, like drinking water, and took a big sip.

"Hmm...cough cough cough..." Zhan Zhao's complexion changed drastically, he suppressed his swallowing, and coughed fiercely while holding the table.

Bai Yutang wondered, "Cat, why...?"

Zhan Zhao calmed his breath, and said sincerely, "No one else, just choked on drinking."

Bai Yutang felt relieved: "How does it taste?"

Zhan Zhao's face was as usual: "It's okay, I just don't know if it suits Brother Bai."

Bai Yutang didn't suspect him, and took a big gulp like Zhan Zhao did.

……puff! ——Bai Yutang jumped up as if his tail was being stepped on, and all the wine in his mouth spewed out: "What does it taste like? It's so bitter!! Good job, little cat, how dare you play with your grandpa Bai..."

Zhan Zhao tilted his head slightly, facing out the window and secretly smiling.

Two wines in succession were major disappointments and only the last one remained.Bai Yutang looked at the small glass full of baijiu in front of him, and lamented in his heart: Is it possible that after a thousand years, even drinking a bit of wine that you can barely drink will become a luxury?

After hesitating again and again, he nervously picked up the last wine glass, put it under his nose and sniffed it lightly, his eyes couldn't help but light up, took another deep sniff, took a light sip, his long and narrow phoenix eyes could not help but narrow slightly—— Uh... rich and mellow, sweet and sweet, with a long tail... um... good wine!Good wine! !It was a good wine that I had never seen before! ! !Huh——Bai Yutang let out a sigh of relief, and the depression just now was swept away.

Looking up at Zhan Zhao again, the cunning cat was not in a hurry to taste the wine, but smiled slightly after observing his reaction, took a sip of the small glass of white wine, and then narrowed its eyes slightly.Apparently, it was the last wine that really suited their taste.

Bai Yutang suddenly had a strange feeling of loneliness mixed in his heart—at this moment, he suddenly felt deeply that in this world, the only thing they know well is each other...

After a while, all kinds of dishes were delivered to the table one after another, and the two of Zhan Bai happily tasted the feast of the 21st century...
