"You can't get anything good from a small hotel in such a poor place. Let's do it this way. The four dried fruits are lychees, longans, steamed dates, and gingko. Fresh fruits, fresh as you pick them. Salty and sour, I want fragrant cherries and shredded ginger. I wonder if I can buy them here? Candied fruit? They were rose oranges, fragrant grapes, candied peaches, and pear meat.”Huang Rong learned to speak in the northern dialect, which was not very pure.
The waiter could not help but put away his underestimation when he heard what he said.
"There are no fresh fish and prawns here. Hmm, just eight so-so dishes." Huang Rong said.”
"What do you like to eat?" asked the waiter.”
"Sigh, it's impossible not to make things clear." Huang Rong said. The eight dishes were quail, fried duck feet, chicken tongue soup, deer belly Jiang Yao, mandarin duck fried beef tendons, chrysanthemum rabbit shreds, fried roe legs, ginger vinegar gold and silver hoof. I'll only choose what you can cook here. We'll skip the expensive dishes.”
The waiter's mouth was wide open when he heard that. After he finished speaking, he said,"The price of these eight dishes is not small. Just the duck feet and chicken tongue soup alone would require dozens of chickens and ducks.”
I chuckled and pointed at Guo Jing."This old man is the host. Do you think he can't afford it?”
The waiter saw that the sable on Guo Jing was very precious and thought that even if he didn't know how to fork out money, it would be enough to peel off this sable skin to pay for it. He immediately agreed and asked,"Is it enough?"
"With twelve dishes and eight desserts, it should be enough," Huang Rong said.”
The waiter did not dare to ask for the name of the dish again, afraid that he would not be able to order it. He immediately ordered the kitchen to choose the best choice and asked the young man,"What wine do you want? The store has ten-year-old Sanbai Fenjiu. Can you give me two cents first?”
"Alright, we'll just have to deal with it!" Huang Rong said.”Soon, fruits, candied fruits, and other things were served on the table one by one. Guo Jing tasted each and every one of them, and they were all delicacies he had never eaten before.
Huang Rong talked loudly about the customs of the south. Guo Jing listened to his elegant and knowledgeable speech and could not help but fall in love with him. His second master was a learned scholar, but Guo Jing devoted himself to martial arts and only learned some superficial words from Zhu Cong when he was free. Now that he heard it, this youth's knowledge seemed to be no less than his second master's."I only knew that he was a poor child, but I didn't know that he was so knowledgeable. The people of the Central Plains were indeed very different from those beyond the Great Wall.”
An hour later, the two tables were filled with food and wine. Huang Rong's alcohol tolerance was very low, so she only picked a few light dishes with her chopsticks. Suddenly, she called the waiter over and scolded,"Your Jiang Yaozhu is from five years ago. How can you sell it for money?”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he quickly came over and smiled apologetically."My dear guest, your tongue is really sharp. I'm really sorry. The restaurant didn't have Jiang Yaozhu, so they had to go to the biggest restaurant here, Changqing Restaurant. There's nothing new in Tongzhangkou."
Huang Rong waved her hand and started talking to Guo Jing again. She heard that he was from Mongolia, so she asked him about the desert. Guo Jing had been instructed by his master not to reveal his identity. He only talked about interesting things such as shooting rabbits, shooting eagles, riding horses, catching wolves, and so on. Huang Rong listened with great interest. When she heard Guo Jing's proud words, she clapped her hands and laughed. Her expression was very innocent.
Guo Jingyi grew up in the desert. Although he was close to Tuolei and Hua Zheng, Tiemu Zhen loved his son. Tuolei often followed his father and rarely had time to play with him. Hua Zheng had a bad temper, and Guo Jing was not too accommodating. Although they often played together, they would quarrel at any time. Although they would reconcile after a while, they were always not on good terms. At this moment, he was eating and chatting with this youth. For some reason, he felt a joy that he had never felt in his life.
The two of them were talking about the Jiangnan countryside, which made them feel even more cordial. He was originally clumsy and not good at speaking. Usually, he had to answer a few questions when others asked him. Han Xiaoying often laughed at him for being like Nan Xiren who valued words like gold. He was the son of the fourth master. However, at this time, he talked about all his stupid things, except for martial arts and related to Tiemuzhen. When he said that he forgot himself, he grabbed the young man's left hand. When she held his hand, she felt that his palm was soft and smooth, as if it had no bones. She was startled.
Huang Rong chuckled and lowered her head. Guo Jing saw that his face was covered in coal black, but the skin at the back of his neck was as white as fat, and his muscles were as fair as snow. He felt a little strange, but he did not care. "We've been talking for a long time. The dishes are cold, and so is the food!" Huang Rong gently broke free from his grip.”"Yes, cold dishes are also delicious."”
Huang Rong shook her head. "Then let's call it 'heat up'," Guo Jing said.”
"No," Huang Rong said,"Hot dishes don't taste good.”He called the waiter over and said,"Throw away all these vegetables and use fresh ingredients to make hot dishes again!"”
"Wait!" I, who had been watching the show, finally spoke. I really couldn't stand Huang Rong's wasteful attitude, so I said,"Use fresh ingredients to make hot dishes for them. Heat up these cold dishes and put them on another table. I want to invite the beggars on the street to eat!”
"Alright!" The shopkeeper, chef, and waiter in the hotel were all amazed. Since there was business, they naturally did as they were told. It was the custom of the Mongolians to spend everything they had to entertain guests. Moreover, this was the first time Guo Jing had used money in his life. He did not know the use of money. Even if he knew, he would not mind spending ten times more money since he had a good relationship with Huang Rong.
