Chapter 348
Near noon, Wen Mingtang and Zhao You walked into a noodle restaurant at the end of Shengyefang alley and ordered a bowl of noodles and two side dishes.
It’s not that I’m reluctant to spend money. Although it’s still a little worse than being able to afford a house in Chang’an, Wen Mingtang still has no shortage of money from a restaurant every day. Especially Ji Caimai checked the accounts in advance, and Wen Mingtang received the money earned from taking out stalls two days ago, and now he has a small savings.
There are many shops in Keshengyefang area, and the transactions are the most frequent, and the time of noon is the time when there are the most people.
Although it was not too late for the two to come to Shengyefang, both the restaurants and some famous restaurants were already full of people.
Seeing this situation, Wen Mingtang didn't say much, but took Zhao You to pass through the most prosperous street in Shengyefang and then walked around the alley behind the street.
The noodle shop behind the alley is remote and narrow, and it is difficult to pass by carriages, so there are not many people.
Wen Mingtang took Zhao You to sit down at the window facing the street, pushed open the window and looked at the back door of the pavement not far ahead.
The front door of this shop is facing the most prosperous street in Shengyefang. The shops opened on this street are naturally quite large, with several shops connected to them being opened, and the same jewelry shop is on the upper and lower floors.
It is not ordinary people who can open such a jewelry shop on this street. The owner behind this jewelry shop is not someone else, but Princess Liyang.
From a distance, in addition to the restaurant shops that need to transport ingredients in and out of the entire street, only Princess Liyang's jewelry shop has specially opened the back door.
Wen Mingtang did not look up immediately, but the noodles were eaten in a meal, and he said vaguely, "Oh" with the noodles in his mouth.
The name of this Liji jewelry shop is all covered with the word "Li", which is considered to be the owner behind it.
Just as I was smiling, I heard the middle-aged woman suddenly say in Wu language, "It's almost done, it's time."
Wen Mingtang picked up a chopstick of noodles and put them into his mouth. While chewing, he thought about what happened just now: Although the two women dressed as maids seemed to have done nothing, their hands were empty and they didn't take anything, the reaction he looked around was really like a guilty look.
The bowl in front of me was quite authentic. I drank the soup first when I had noodles. After drinking two sips of Yangchun Noodle Soup, I poured the toppings of the side dish you chose into a bowl.
While eating noodles, thinking about the scene I had just seen, the woman came over with the toppings that Zhao You wanted. When she put the noodles down, she still joked with Zhao You, "The guest official has a good appetite."
The woman seemed to have not heard her avoidance, and she still smiled and said, "I will come out at this time of day. Maybe I will take a shortcut to the royal palace!"
Wen Mingtang was stunned when he was stunned that "it's time", but he heard a "rustling" sound coming from a distance.
After that, he instinctively looked around and looked at the alley, then turned around and left.
The side dishes made of snow vegetables, shredded pork, and shredded bamboo shoots are salty and delicious. The fried golden poached eggs on both sides are buckled on the top, which is quite attractive whether it is eaten empty or pressed into the noodle soup.
Food like Yangchun Noodles is quite popular in Jiangnan and other places. When you get up early, you can go to a random noodle restaurant on the street and order a bowl of Yangchun Noodles. Although a bowl of clear soup is simple and simple, it is delicious. It can be said that it is the food for many people.
Although this noodle shop is a little remote and not many people, the noodles are made beautifully. Looking at the noodle shop, there are only a few tables, which are simple, but they are very clean.
Wen Mingtang smiled and said, "This noodles are as elegant as Yangchun, white snow, but the origin is very simple. Because the first such clear soup noodles are sold for ten cents in Jiangnan and other places. October is a small spring, and the hidden words of the market say that Yangchun represents ten, so it is called Yangchun noodles."
Zhao You said "oh" and said, "That's it!". The woman smiled and looked at Wen Mingtang who was eating noodles, and said, "What are the little lady looking at just now? Are they the two people who came out of the jewelry shop in front of Liji?"
A jewelry shop specially opened the back door? Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe it was someone else's use, who knows?
As the guy said "Come", Yang Chun's noodles were brought over.
When he looked up instinctively following the source of the sound, he saw that the back door of the jewelry shop that was still closed was suddenly opened. Two women dressed as maids walked out of the back door of the jewelry shop, and then turned around and locked the back door of the jewelry shop from the outside.
Wen Mingtang was stunned when he saw Zhao You's voice sounded in his ears: "Another bowl of Yangchun noodles, it's so delicious. I want that... Sanxian topping this time."
The woman who was originally speaking in Wu language immediately said "Oh" and then said in authentic Chang'an Mandarin "Call and wait", and then the sound under the bowl rang out.
After looking at the noodles with only two or three green onions in the bowl and the thin noodles, Zhao You said "Oh" and said, "It turns out that this Yangchun noodles are clear soup noodles. The name is so elegant. What kind of noodles do I think it is!"
Zhao You, who was beside him, took a short taste and then squinted his face. Listening to the loud sound of whispering in his ears, Wen Mingtang glanced at the slightly shaking egg core in the poached egg. He looked like a fluffy. When he was putting the chopsticks in the tunnel, he carefully picked up the poached egg soaked in the soup, and then took a bite. The fluffy egg yolk gushed out of it.
While busy, the couple whispered trivial matters such as "dish" and "noodles". Wen Mingtang bit the poached egg flowing on his lips, and couldn't help but smile: The familiar Wu Nong soft words, no wonder they made so authentic.
The owner of the noodle restaurant is a middle-aged couple who are busy in and out, making authentic Yangchun noodles, but because the location is too biased, the business is mediocre.
A spoonful of lard, a spoonful of sauce, and a spoonful of clear soup as the base, add the noodles and finally add chopped green onions to form a bowl of yangchun noodles. Although it looks simple and simple to make, the heat used for cooking noodles is quite particular. The soup is salty and fresh and has the aroma of lard. The aroma of lard is blended into the soup. The ingredients are made with simple ingredients and are extremely delicious.
Although there were not many people in the noodle restaurant, the woman did not avoid everyone, so the guests who were eating noodles also heard it.
When I think about something, I know something is wrong.
"If you take a shortcut in the palace, don't go here!" A guest who was eating noodles said "huh" and said strangely, "What are you doing when you go to the back door?"
The woman smiled, tucked her hair hanging from both sides of her face, and said inadvertently: "I don't know about this. I only know that it has been more than three months in a row, and I will come out every day!"
