In addition to these East Palace colleagues who had deliberately dressed up to hide from others, Xie Xun and Jiang Shuyao also dressed up.
Jiang Shuyao specially asked Bai Zhi to find sackcloth to make a dull-colored dress, with her hair wrapped in a towel, her face facing the sky, and no decoration, like a farm bride.
Xie Xun also wore simple clothes. The two walked side by side. At first glance, it looked like the most handsome scholar in the village married the daughter of the village chief's family.
It was too hot, and the sun was burning hot on the body. The rough man who worked at the dock was no longer particular. He took off his shirt and walked on the road shirtless.
Xie Xun didn't expect this before he came, and he was suddenly alert when he saw a group of shirtless men who had just finished work and were covered in sweat passing by.
It's not that he doesn't trust his daughter-in-law, it's that Jiang Shuyao's previous rumors can't be faked. She really can't control herself in front of male sex.
In order not to appear too suspicious, Xie Xun could only squint quietly and stared at Jiang Shuyao from the corner of his eye.
It's okay not to look at it, but it makes me feel wronged at first sight - Jiang Shuyao's eyes just fell on the man.
This made Jiang Shuyao wrong. This group of shirtless strong men walked in front of her, so big and bronze, she looked at it subconsciously, it really had nothing to do with lust.
Xie Xun coughed.
Jiang Shuyao turned to look at him.
Xie Xun was relieved. He knew that he was born handsome, and he didn't care about the compliments about his appearance in Beijing before, but at this moment he took it as a confidence.
Don't look at them, just look at me.
He thought so, his face tense, he didn't look like he came to see the restaurant opening, but more like he came to collect debts.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Shuyao was about to ask him what was wrong, when a bunch of shirtless men passed by in front of her, her eyes drifted away subconsciously again...
Xie Xun: ! ! !
"Cough! Cough!" He clenched his fists and coughed loudly.
Jiang Shuyao was taken aback: "Are you okay? Why do you cough like this?"
Xie Xun put down his hand and forced himself to remain calm: "It's nothing."
As soon as the voice fell, another group of shirtless men passed by.
The anger in his heart "rubbed" up, what happened to this group of people, is it so hot, it's not summer yet!
Jiang Shuyao didn't pay attention to him, but the old sister-in-law who was selling cakes laughed out loud.
Hearing the laughter, Jiang Shuyao looked at the woman at the cake stand in confusion.
The woman winked at her, looked at Xie Xun, and then at the pair of shirtless men. Jiang Shuyao was stunned for a while, and then realized that Xie Xun was probably angry
Does he think these guys are immoral, or is he despising the indifference of the common people
"Xie Boyuan." Ever since she gave up trying to please Xie Xun, she has been calling his words, but she doesn't know how it sounds more intimate in Xie Xun's ears.
Only close friends and elders call the table words. Every time she shouts, it will make Xie Xun feel that there is a hazy and delicate intimacy between the two.
"Huh?" He restrained his expression and turned to look at her.
"Thank you." Jiang Shuyao said sincerely, "Generally, a man from a wealthy family would be willing to let his wife who is a matchmaker come to these places, but you brought me here yourself."
She was obviously dressed in a very simple and rustic manner, but her eyes became more and more dazzling and beautiful. Xie Xun suddenly understood the group of men just now, it was really hot today, he was sweating all over and his face was red.
At this moment, a group of children came running from the end of the street with fish baskets in their hands. You chased after me, and they came noisily like a gust of wind.
Pedestrians on the road couldn't dodge, they were bumped, and scolded with a smile: "Heiyu, you grabbed the basket in Dashan again, let's see how your father cleans you up!"
They are used to bumps and bumps, but Jiang Shuyao is different.
Xie Xun didn't even think about it, he immediately reached out and grabbed Jiang Shuyao's wrist and brought her to his side.
Jiang Shuyao was caught off-guard by him, unable to stand still, her forehead hit his shoulder, and she gasped in pain.
Xie Xun was startled, afraid that she would be angry, so he quickly asked, "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Shuyao still pressed his forehead against his shoulder, and did not reply immediately. Xie Xun felt uneasy, and when he was about to apologize, a sudden tremor came from his shoulder.
The laughter gradually increased, and Jiang Shuyao laughed and trembled: "As for me, I'm not made of porcelain, so I'm scared like this."
"What a fuss." She looked up and smiled.
Only then did Xie Xun realize something was wrong, and when he looked around, he saw that everyone was looking at them in unison, and even the kid who was jumping up and down just now stopped and stared at them.
His face was hot, and he pulled Jiang Shuyao away quickly.
After walking for a while, I found that I seemed to be pulling something, slender, soft, and warm like jade...
Jiang's wrist!
Xie Xun's palm suddenly became hot and painful. When he wanted to let go, he felt his right hand froze, and the closed fingers couldn't be opened.
Jiang Shuyao was also surprised that Xie Xun took her wrist and walked all the way. She wanted to remind her, but she couldn't open her mouth, for fear that the reminder would be too deliberate.
She raised her head and quietly looked at Xie Xun's back, always feeling that he seemed to have grown taller, from a boy to a man.
The right hand holding his wrist is warm and powerful, and it seems that it is good for him to hold it like this all the time.
When the two found Lin's restaurant, it was just after work. The street in the restaurant was crowded with people. Some men didn't like to sit down to eat.
As a little lady, it is still very strange to appear here.
Someone's eyes fell on Jiang Shuyao, Xie Xun tightened his right hand, dragged Jiang Shuyao firmly, stretched out his left hand, and pulled her turban forward, covering the sight of others.
Some actions are done naturally and smoothly.
"Business is booming, don't worry now." Xie Xun said.
Jiang Shuyao nodded: "I'm also happy to see them eating happily."
Xie Xun chuckled and pulled her to the shade: "Want to taste it?"
"Of course, I'll see how they're doing to see if I'm wasting my meticulously detailed recipes."
The two came to the noodle stall, Jiang Shuyao glanced at it, and Lin's plan described in the letter followed all the plans. Not only that, but also improved it. The improved method is more suitable for ancient restaurants.
She ordered two bowls of hot dry noodles and decided on Xie Xun's share.
Hot dry noodles are different from ordinary fried noodles in that they use alkaline noodles. The cinnamon bark is burned into ashes, placed on the pine hair, and filtered with boiling water for many times to obtain natural alkaline water.
After the noodles have been watered and oiled, put them aside. After the guests arrive, the chef will quickly scald the noodles in boiling water, shake their wrists a few times, drain the water, put them in a bowl, and pour chili oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic juice, etc. A variety of ingredients, topped with good Sesame Street, scooped sour beans, diced radish, chopped green onion, etc., the seemingly simple but complex hot dry noodles are ready.
Because the cost of the seasoning is a little high, the hot dry noodles are sold at the price of the meat noodles, but the men working at the dock are not cheap, and they are not stingy for a meal in the afternoon. There are not a few people who come to a bowl.
Xie Xun brought the bowls for the two of them, and chose a small table in the corner that was only big enough for the two of them to sit down.
The hot dry noodles are slender, yellow and clear, the sesame paste is shiny like oil, the diced radish is bright orange and red, the green onion is green, stir a little, the sesame paste melts into the noodles, and the mellow aroma of the hot sesame paste gradually overflows.
The noodles are smooth and oily after the cold water, very gluten, the sesame sauce wraps the noodles, and the sesame fragrance fills the mouth in one bite, mellow and fragrant, with a long aftertaste, the slightly bitter cooked sesame flavor is replaced by the sauce poured over the hot dry noodles, which is delicious Slightly spicy, sweet and sweet.
The flavor of sesame sauce is chewed in every bite. The sauce is thick and slightly sticky, but the noodles are smooth and refreshing. The diced radish is sweet and the beans are slightly sour. The side dishes are crisp and fresh, without the slightest greasy.
Don't eat hot dry noodles too quickly, you have to wait for the mellow aroma to linger in your mouth for a long time, and you can't wait to chew it slowly in your mouth and taste it carefully.
But this bowl of noodles is too delicious, fresh and spicy, salty and refreshing, and you can eat real sesame sauce in every bite.
Xie Xun quickly ate a bowl of hot dry noodles. Jiang Shuyao and he ordered the same amount, but he couldn't finish it. Seeing this, he asked, "Can I share half of it with you?" After speaking, he was afraid that Xie Xun would dislike her leftovers. After all, this is an ancient time when public chopsticks were used to pick dishes, and Xie Xun was even more of a noble son in the breeze.
Xie Xun himself, who was inhaled by the storm at the dock, reacted extremely quickly when he heard the words, and pushed the bowl in front of her.
Jiang Shuyao: …
She left half a bowl to Xie Xun, and Xie Xun continued to lower his head and eat wildly.
The cook, who was resting on the side, snickered: "This little scholar is really easy to support." Judging from the amount of food, the little lady's family must be a big family in the town, but this scholar is so good-looking, he spends more money to provide for him Also worth it.
Jiang Shuyao, the direct daughter of the richest Lin family in the world, propped her chin up and watched Xie Xun eat the noodles cleanly and was satisfied.
Xie Xun really wanted to scrape the sesame paste on the chopsticks and on the side of the bowl, but because of Jiang Shuyao's presence, he forcibly held back.
Filled with inexplicable resentment, he said: "You have never made this kind of noodles in the mansion before." The indifferent tone seemed to be just casual chat.
"I haven't done much, and I will do it slowly in the future." Jiang Shuyao replied.
Well, Xie Xun comforted him. He is someone who will live with the Jiang family all his life, so why bother with these things
Jiang Shuyao was about to get up when he suddenly heard a commotion from the crowd.
Taking a closer look, that bright, eye-catching and generous person is not the Lin family.
Ever since she crossed over, what she saw Lin Shi had always been an angry and helpless woman on the inside. She had never seen her like this before, her brows were bright and full of vigor, like a withered peony blooming overnight.
She walked into the restaurant in a hurry, holding her pregnant belly, laughing loudly, and said to the steward: "Yes, yes, my daughter is capable. Only my Lin family can open this kind of restaurant in the world."
Manage yourself to be flattering.
"Okay, I just came to have a look. Today is the first day of business. Everyone is doing a good job, but you can't let it go." Mrs. Lin said a lot of rules, and then checked the food stalls one by one, asking questions. Flowing silver taels.
Jiang Shuyao was startled by this completely unfamiliar Lin Shi, and when she got closer and closer, she suddenly woke up, slapped the silver on the table, and pulled Xie Xun away quickly.
Just the idea of opening a shop made Lin's sad and angry. If she saw that she was among the stinky men to eat, and brought Xie Xun with her, wouldn't the Lin be going to chase and kill her with a knife.
Xie Xun also thought of this, for fear that his mother-in-law would get angry, the two of them cooperated and quietly evacuated. As soon as they walked out of Lin's line of sight, they bumped into a group of people who were also sneaky.
Lin Cheng, who has gathered all six colleagues and is carefully avoiding Xie Xun:…
Xie Xun didn't expect to see them here, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you guys go to the outskirts of the city to race horses, why did you all come to the pier?"
"Uh..." Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Also, what's the matter with your clothes?" The seven people actually wore the same style of cotton gowns, even the same color, and the inconspicuous colors gathered together for a long time, like septuplets on the street, no longer conspicuous It has to be conspicuous too.
Lin Cheng swallowed a mouthful of old blood in his throat and lied stiffly: "Hehe, this is the clothes we made for horse racing. It's like wearing a color for kicking Cuju, team uniform, team uniform."
Xie Xun looked at Lin Cheng's ugly and low-key clothes, silent for a moment, and said very seriously: "If I promised to team up with you before, forget it now."
