This small shop called Dujia Yubao is located on the edge of Xiliu Lane. The location is a bit hidden, but the business is good. The sky has turned dark outside and the wind is biting, but the shop is very warm and lively. There is a charcoal fire on Zhang's table, and a secret mutton soup pot is placed on the charcoal fire. Around the table are plates of sliced fish fillets. All the fish fillets have their bones removed, and they are fresh and tender. Boil it in a boiling mutton soup pot, pick it up, and dip it in the sauce made with more than ten kinds of seasonings. After taking a bite, you will feel as if your body is lighter. It is indeed a supreme deliciousness.
Eating fish fillets and drinking the store's specially brewed green plum wine, it was really enjoyable in such weather.
The shop is run by a family of seven, including father, son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and everyone is very busy upstairs and downstairs. The severe situation in Pingxi City, as well as the ups and downs caused by the mountain wind, seemed to have nothing to do with the family who opened a shop in the alley.
When Yan Liqiang and the others came, there were not many people in the store, so Yan Liqiang took the initiative to sit down at a table by the window on the second floor. After ordering, the food was served, and Yan Liqiang ate without moving. He looked at the alley below sensually.
If the Saudis are going to "deliver goods" tonight, they will definitely pass below.
The heat of the charcoal fire, the aroma of the soup and condiments, mixed with the flavor of the green plum wine, filled the air in the shop with the unique relaxing atmosphere of a small restaurant on this cold night.
…
"If I have money in the future, I will build a gourmet pavilion at home, build a high-rise building, and invite cooks from all over the world to live in it. I can go up to the attic to eat whatever I want every day, and then come down when I am full. You don't have to pay..." After eating for an hour, the three of them chatted while eating. Shi Dafeng's face was already red from eating. While eating, he told Yan Liqiang about his life ideals.
"Haha, I don't need so many cooks. When I can start a family and make my own decisions in the future, I only need one person..." After drinking some green plum wine, Shen Teng's face turned as red as rouge. , so that the little lady who brought the fish fillets couldn't help but look at him a few more times. After all, Shen Teng has a young mind. Although Shen Teng usually looks a bit more mature and steady, and is a bit reserved and reserved many times, but he is really familiar with it. , Yan Liqiang discovered that this Shen Teng was actually a very fun person with a true temperament, but his tutoring was probably too strict and it was difficult to get the chance to let go.
"How can one cook be enough?" Shi Dafeng shook his head.
"Gently pulling up her skirt and moving forward, spooning soup with bare hands, waiting shyly for you to taste; sitting around the stove on a moonlit night, chatting about home affairs, drinking and singing, listening to the wind knocking on the window..." Shen Teng, whose eyes were a little blurred, actually shook his head and recited a poem.
"Ouch, ouch, it's sour, it's so sour, my teeth are going to be sore, and I'm so shy waiting for you to taste it. Old Shen, you're not feeling like you're in love..." Shi Dafeng made a face at Shen Teng.
"You're just thinking about spring!" Shen Teng glared at Shi Dafeng angrily, "What do you know? Having a confidante in life is enough!"
"Li Qiang, if your family becomes prosperous in the future, what will you do? Do you want to be like me, or do you want to be like Shen Teng..." Following Shi Dafeng's question, both of them suddenly turned their attention to Yan Liqiang's face.
"I don't need chefs from all over the world, nor do I need any confidante to cook for me!" Yan Liqiang shook his head and looked at Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng seriously, "Don't you two think that no matter who cooks these dishes? Does it taste delicious no matter how you make it?”
"Are you kidding?" Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng both looked at Yan Liqiang in surprise.
"What I said is true. Even if I just buy a few steamed buns at the foot of the mountain in Wuyang Village, I think they are quite delicious!"
"I'm convinced by you. I didn't expect Li Qiang to be very picky about what he eats..." Shi Dafeng said, shaking his head.
Yan Liqiang just smiled without explaining. He has been born in two lives. In his previous life, everything he ate that could be served on the table was contaminated with clenbuterol, antibiotics, genetically modified substances, waste oil, fluoride, and all kinds of strange poisons. Non-toxic food additives added to oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and various foods have completely surrounded the common people. Even the dining table of a five-star hotel has become an extension of the modern chemical industry. From that era People who come here come to this world. To be honest, Yan Liqiang really feels that everything here is delicious and has a natural and pure wonderful taste that he has never experienced before. Not to mention anything else, even if he is eating steamed buns, Yan Liqiang You can also taste the aroma of real wheat.
…
Just when the three of them were eating happily, Yan Liqiang suddenly felt something in his heart. He inadvertently turned his head and looked out the window. A carriage just turned from the other side of Xiliu Alley and drove into the alley.
The carriage was a bit old and the carriage was slightly long. It was a cargo truck. A driver wearing a dog-skin hat and a thick cotton-padded jacket was driving the carriage and was passing through this alley in a leisurely manner.
The driver's dog-skin hat was pushed down very low, and the collar of the cotton-padded jacket on the driver's body was turned up, covering the whole person tightly, with almost only a pair of eyes and less than half of the skin exposed.
The carriage was still the same carriage, and even the driver remained the same. Even through the wooden boards of the carriage, Yan Liqiang seemed to be able to feel the "goods" wrapped in the fur inside the carriage...
The carriage drove past Du's fish shop.
"Li Qiang, what are you looking at?" Shi Dafeng next to him asked.
Yan Liqiang looked at the alarm bow and the ringing arrow that Shen Teng placed next to the table. As his thoughts flashed, he frowned tightly and whispered to himself, "Strange..."
"What's weird?"
Yan Liqiang still didn't speak, but thought for a moment, then stood up and winked at Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng.
The three of them had been together for a long time, and they had some tacit understanding with each other. When they saw Yan Liqiang standing up, they winked, as if it was not convenient to talk here. Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng looked at each other, and the two of them stood up separately. After getting up, Shi Dafeng threw a small dime of silver on the table. Shen Teng, carrying a bow and arrows, walked out of the shop with Yan Liqiang and went to the alley outside. After walking for a while, he saw no one on both sides. Shen Teng Tengcai asked softly, "Why, what did you discover just now, Li Qiang?"
"Did you two see that a carriage passed by in this alley just now..." Yan Liqiang said softly.
"There seems to be such a car..." Shi Dafeng frowned. The three of them were sitting by the window just now. Although he didn't pay much attention, he still saw a carriage just passing below.
"I noticed that the driver who was driving the carriage seemed to have something wrong?"
"What's the problem?" Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng suddenly became energetic.
"I have a very good memory. Many people I will never forget once I meet them. I just happened to look downstairs and saw the face and eyes of the coachman. That coachman, I was there when I came to Pingxi City. I saw him at the gate of the city one day. At that time, he entered the city on a rhinoceros horse. He was a warrior from the Shatu people. He was very arrogant, so I was particularly impressed. Why did he suddenly become a driver? And he was wearing Chinese attire, so I felt strange..."
Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng looked at each other with surprise in their eyes, because what Yan Liqiang said really surprised them.
"Here, Li Qiang, it's so dark outside, you can't mistake it, right?" Shen Teng hesitated.
"You can't misread it. When the Saudi Arabian drove past the door just now, the lantern at the door shone on his face for a moment. I could see clearly that the man was wearing a dog-skin hat. Most of his face was covered, but his eyes were still those of a Saudi Arabian. The eyes were brown..." Yan Liqiang said simply, "It's so late, and a Saudi Arabian came out in disguise, sneaking around, and driving a car. , I think there must be something wrong with that Saudi guy...
"Isn't it because Shanfeng is hiding in the car?" Shi Dafeng said casually.
Yan Liqiang's face suddenly showed a thoughtful look, "You said that if Shanfeng was really hiding in the city, why couldn't everyone find it during this time... If... If there is a Shatu colluding with him, he is here Who would have thought that after killing people and setting fires in a gathering area of Shatu people, they seemed to escape and then quietly returned?"
Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng's faces suddenly showed expressions of astonishment. Although Yan Liqiang's inference is a bit fanciful, it does exist. There are so many Shatu people in the city. If there is really a collusion between Shatu and Guoshanfeng , maybe it’s true.
"Come on, let's follow quietly to see what the Shatu man is up to..." Shen Teng said in a low voice.
Yan Liqiang and Shi Dafeng both nodded.
At the moment, the three people, except Yan Liqiang, the other two followed quietly with some excitement and excitement.
Just like "last time", the route taken by the carriage remained unchanged. After playing two tricks, it still drove towards the location of the clothing store.
Yan Liqiang, Shi Dafeng, and Shen Teng are all the best at their age. Not to mention Yan Liqiang and Shen Teng, even Shi Dafeng looks rough, but he is also rough and fine. He is not comparable to ordinary people. Yes, the three people followed the carriage carefully until they came to the alley where the back door of the garment shop's courtyard was.
If Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng were not sure that there was something wrong with the carriage before, then by this time, after following the carriage around here, they were almost sure that there must be something wrong with the carriage.
Just like last time, when the carriage stopped, the three of them used their strength to climb up to the roof of a yard not far away. Behind the ridge of the roof, they held their breath and quietly looked at the carriage. Case.
Bang bang bang bang, the Saudi driver came and knocked on the door with the door knocker, two long and two short...
After a while, a lantern lit up in the backyard of the clothing store. A man who looked like a shopkeeper came out with a lantern and two waiters, and looked around...
"Look at their sneaky looks. These bastards are definitely not good people and are not doing good things..." Shi Dafeng, who was next to him, muttered in a low voice.
"Shh..." Shen Teng shushed, his eyes shining, staring at the carriage.
Yan Liqiang licked his lips. While he was watching the "transaction" in the alley, he was secretly feeling his own movement. Just ten minutes ago, when the three people quietly followed the carriage spinning in the alley, Yan Liqiang felt it again. Feeling that someone was spying on them in the dark, after walking for a few minutes, Yan Liqiang discovered that he, Shi Dafeng, and Shen Teng had been targeted by two rangers who came to the city...
The two rangers couldn't find anything wrong with the carriage, but the whereabouts of the three of them looked strange in the eyes of the two rangers, so the two rangers quietly followed them.
After some searching, the two rangers naturally discovered the carriage.
Now it’s interesting. You don’t even need to call out, but a ranger is following you. Tonight’s big show will definitely be even more spectacular than last time. Yan Liqiang smiled in his heart...
"Look, there's something wrong with the leather goods that were lifted off the carriage. The weight is wrong, and the two guys were too careful. There's something wrong with those leather goods..." Yan Liqiang whispered to Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng next to him, and the two of them looked at it. They all nodded secretly.
