As soon as he said this, not to mention Zhou Heng, even Brother Wang heard something about it and became a little uneasy. The two girls were brought here by themselves. Don't expect this group of people to have some internal strife in front of them.

, that would not be beautiful.

Then he quickly reconciled with a smile: "It's not that we have to go and see it. The main thing is that we sincerely want to rent a house to stay. After all, we have to live in it, so we thought it would be better to take a look.

But if there is any difficulty, then just come back another day!"

This was said quite nicely. Zhou Heng was very satisfied and nodded in agreement.

The man in gray robe, who was called the Great Talent, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In that case, it's better to go in and have a look. It's just that the house is a bit messy and hasn't been cleaned up much."

As he spoke, he raised his voice and shouted: "Mother Peng!"

It's strange to say that Zhou Heng didn't see her just now, but now he only heard a sound of agreement. He turned around and saw the short old lady holding a handful of celery in her hand and standing quietly.

From a distance, I was almost startled.

Feeling Chun Yu gently tug on his sleeve again, Zhou Heng felt that this was a warning to him that this old woman was not an ordinary person, so he held Chun Yu's hand, which had been lowering his head pretending to be shy, and tightened his hand in response.

, and then smiled and said politely to Aunt Peng: "Thank you!"

Afterwards, under the gaze of the man named He, Aunt Peng came over without saying a word and led the three of them to the door of the main room, then took the lead and pushed the door open and walked in.

Zhou Heng was a little disappointed. He had little expectations at first, but it was clearly a room with ordinary decoration of this era. To be precise, it was actually a room in an ordinary family. When entering, there was a long door with several desks in front of it.

There are chairs on both sides of the square table. The right side is a bedroom separated by a curtain. Zhou Heng walked over and took a look. There were only beds, a short table at the head of the bed, and a

Large wardrobe.

On the left side of the room, there are some debris piled up, which looks a bit messy.

It seemed that it was indeed just a temporary place. Zhou Heng took a quick look around, then walked out and thanked the man named He who was waiting outside the door with a smile: "The place is quite spacious. It can be renovated a little.

It should be habitable."

Then he lowered his head and asked Chunyu, who seemed to be shy and had not spoken, and asked in a conferential manner: "Actually, it's okay. How about we go back and write to our cousin to ask? We have to give an accurate letter as soon as possible, otherwise the elder brothers will be delayed.

."

Hearing Chunyu lower his head and say "hmm" as an answer, Zhou Heng raised his head and asked the man named He: "I wonder when the brothers will set off? As for the rent, please try to make it as cheap as possible. If it's not convenient to tell you now, I'll follow up later.

Brother Wang said it’s the same thing.”

When I first graduated, I rented a house myself, so I have some experience in this area.

"Yes, anyway, my shop is right in front, so it's very convenient." Upon hearing this, Brother Wang once again used his ability to observe people's behavior when he was sent to the academy every day, and said with a smile: "Let's go back and discuss it first, and give an accurate answer as soon as possible.

letter."

The man surnamed He seemed a little embarrassed and did not answer the two people's words. Zhou Heng thought he was leaving anyway, so he boldly smiled and asked the strong man who had finished eating and was standing in the yard picking his teeth.

: "Brother, when will we set off? We have to give it a few days."

This way, I would have time to inform Shen Fu, or at least have time to inform Uncle He at the hot spring village.

"Just these two days," the strong man spat on the ground happily, then glanced at the man named He who had been silent, and said: "The price can be discussed, and so can we."

He paused at this point, and then said vaguely: "Anyway, as soon as possible, there are several other people who also want to rent."

If you want to rent it, just rent it to them. Anyway, we don’t really want to rent your house. Zhou Heng was convinced and took advantage of the situation to leave: "Okay, let’s go back and discuss it first. If it’s okay or not, we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. ,Excuse me!"

Taking two steps forward, he remembered something again and smiled at the strong man: "Brother, I think Zhongnan Road is quite suitable for you. My parents will cook a dish every now and then. It is said to be from Zhongnan Road. The famous dish is called Peach Blossom Fish. The two of them have always been obsessed with it. Although it is very spicy just by smelling it, it is also very fragrant, but my father always said that there is neither water from the Peach Blossom River nor fish from the Peach Blossom River. The taste It’s always a lot worse—”

"Wait a minute, what's the peach blossom fish called?" The strong man seemed to be quite delicious, and he also took a few steps to follow: "You said that is a famous dish of Zhongnan Road?"

This dish was actually something Zhou Heng came across while reading a book at Daxiangguo Temple. It was a book of scenery written by General Xu decades ago that was even kept in the Zhou family’s study room. It was said that he heard the story from Duke Zhen Guo. Just went to eat.

The book said that the Duke of Zhenguo named Xie and his wife once went there to eat peach fish when they were young. The taste of peach blossom fish was extremely delicious. After that, they mentioned it to General Xu several times. Later, General Xu himself passed by Zhongnan Road on his business trip. I specially tried it once when I was there, and I was full of praise. I said that the spicy peach blossom fish is like a heroic and peerless beauty.

And the wonderful thing is that General Xu only ate it once in his life, so he couldn't forget it after that, just like a beautiful woman who can only meet but cannot seek.

This description left a deep impression on Zhou Heng. When he came back, he specifically asked Zhou Yan about it, but Zhou Yan said that he had never been to Zhongnan Road and had never heard of peach fish. The matter was dismissed later. , the reason why Zhou Heng mentioned it now was just to confirm whether the group of people in the house were really going to Zhongnan Road.

"That's right," Zhou Heng's face didn't change, and his heart didn't beat. He wouldn't meet them again anyway, so what are you afraid of? Let's just continue to lie: "If I couldn't eat spicy food, I would actually like to try it, but My dad said that the peach blossom fish will lose its original taste without adding spicy, so I have no way of knowing how it tastes."

"Okay, it seems that we eat too little river food on weekdays." The strong man scratched his head, smacked his lips, and waved to Zhou Heng: "That's just what I said to you, girl. Don't worry, as long as you two have discussed it, The rent will definitely be the lowest for you!"

Zhou Heng didn't really believe what he said. Time was so urgent. In a small town as big as a palm, could someone really come to compete with him? Come on!

But on the surface, he still looked surprised: "Seriously? Then I'll thank you first!" Chun Yu lowered his head and said, "Let's go back and tell our parents!"

After coming out of the mottled and peeling door, the two looked at each other and saw a hint of relief and joy in each other's eyes. Afterwards, they returned to Wang Ji's Dry Goods Shop and thanked Brother Wang first, then thanked him again with the same smile. Shopkeeper Wang said it didn't matter, but when Zhou Heng wanted to buy another large bag of dried fruits and candied fruits, he was declined by the father and son:

"The two girls have bought a lot in the past two days. Please finish eating first and then come back to buy. No need to be polite!"

The father and son were fine, so Zhou Heng stopped insisting and after thanking him, he followed Chun Yu back to the inn.

Maybe the people who were watching outside the house could no longer restrain themselves. Not long after Zhou Heng returned to the inn, the promised knock on the door rang outside. Chunyu quickly got up and opened the door to welcome the people in.

Having met him twice before, he was considered acquainted, so Zhou Heng directly told the guard under Mu Yun about the specific situation of the people in the house: "... Anyway, that's it, the boatman is not inside, but it looks like

They will soon vacate the house here and go to Central South Road."

The guard didn't say much, bowed and left.

After explaining the matter, he realized that he was very hungry. Zhou Heng relaxed and lay down on the bed. He sighed and said to Chun Yu: "I have been talking about peach fish for a long time, oh, I really want to eat it now.

Fish, preferably pickled fish!”

"Pickle fish?" Chun Yu looked puzzled and said that he grew up in the capital after all, so why had he never heard of such a dish?

"Uh," Zhou Heng knew from her look that he had spilled the beans, so he lowered his head and stood up, straightening the pleats on his skirt and explaining vaguely: "I read it from a book, what I just said.

So does peach fish."

"Miss Biao, you are really well-read!" Chunyu said from the bottom of her heart. Just now, she was afraid of being recognized by the man named He, so she kept her head down and didn't dare to say anything. She relied on Miss Biao all the time. As a result,

I didn't expect that Miss Cousin would be so brave and easily figure out the whereabouts of those people from now on.

Even when facing Aunt Peng, who looked at her for some reason, which made people feel a chill down their backs, unlike herself, Miss Cousin still talked and laughed freely.

Thinking of this, Chunyu, who was secretly dissatisfied with Shen Fu's instructions to listen to Miss Cousin in everything, felt that after all, the prince had a good eye for people, and later she followed Zhou Heng wholeheartedly.

Moreover, my cousin is also a sweetheart, although I have known this before. For example, I heard that a pot of rare peonies was planted by the Shangyun Pond, but if I wanted to eat fish, I would immediately drag myself around the street to ask around.

A restaurant that cooks fish is, well, very cute.

Fortunately, there are only two streets and a few restaurants, and they mainly serve dishes based on local ingredients. After asking around, they actually found one for the two of them. I heard that I just bought two of them this morning.

Big Carp's Restaurant.

Zhou Heng suddenly felt that he was very lucky today. After all, the two carps were actually bought by the shopkeeper from a nearby town because of a happy event. There was a river running through the town.

Although the price is a bit expensive, money is not a problem. Shen Fu gave himself a lot of money, and one fish is enough for two people, and it will not affect the shopkeeper's family dinner tonight.

Zhou Heng then turned to the restaurant chef who came out and asked him how he wanted to cook the big carp and slammed the table excitedly: "Let's braise it in braised sauce. The soup will be thicker and can be used with rice!"

After finishing the explanation, he reached out and pinched Chunyu's fair face, who had been looking at him with a smile: "Oh, sister, my mouth is about to drool!"
