Chapter 506: different
"How long has nobody been to this place?"
"Mrs., this place has been idle for at least thirty years."
The outer wall of the yard that has been idle for more than 30 years can still be intact, which proves that the yard is solid enough.
When Su Ying walked into the academy, she felt the smell of books rushing towards her face. As soon as she entered, there was a spacious courtyard. Behind the courtyard was a row of houses with red tiles and white walls. Although the walls looked a little mottled, the houses The whole is indeed in good condition, and it only needs simple repairs to the courtyard walls and roof to be usable.
After looking around for a while, Su Ying expressed her satisfaction. This condition is much better than when she was in the city of Tiankui.
"That\'s right, let\'s choose here. After you go back, you can ask the people from the Ministry of Industry when it can be repaired at the soonest."
"yes."
After being satisfied with the inspection, Su Ying left the academy and got on the carriage to go for a stroll on the street.
When the carriage drove through the busy street, a familiar figure flashed past her eyes.
Su Ying stopped the carriage in a side alley, and asked the accompanying guards to wait in place.
The forbidden army looked embarrassed, "Madam, the subordinates and others need to protect Madam\'s safety at all times."
"No, I\'m safer if you don\'t follow me." It\'s hard for so many people to follow her without noticing her.
The imperial army can only obey orders and stand by.
Su Ying led Zhou Qing into a restaurant following the figure she saw just now.
It’s not time for dinner yet, but the restaurant is already full of people.
"The two guest officers, please."
As soon as Su Ying walked out of the door, several fair-born young men with handsome faces came out to greet her.
Zhou Qing had never seen such a battle before, so frightened, she hurriedly protected Su Ying behind her.
Su Ying patted her comfortingly, "Don\'t panic."
"Don\'t stand so close." Zhou Qing stared at those people vigilantly.
The men also cooperated, smiling and taking a few steps back to keep a certain distance from Su Ying.
"Do the two guest officers want to sit in the lobby or in the wing room?" The leading man asked politely.
"Are you guys in this shop?"
Several men smiled and nodded, as if their smiles were completely imprinted on their faces.
"yes."
"Go to the wing."
"Please, two guest officers." One of the guys led Su Ying and the others into the restaurant. As soon as they entered, they could see a large prototype stage inside. Someone was moving instruments and other things to the stage. It seemed that There is going to be a performance.
Su Ying walked to the wing room on the second floor, and sitting in the wing room, she could clearly see the performance on the stage through the gauze curtain.
"I don\'t know what you two want to eat? Today\'s signature here is plum crispy duck."
"Then have one, what else?"
"There are also five-spice elbows, shredded chicken, and cold boneless duck feet. These are the dishes that our hotel guests order a lot. Please see if you want to order one."
Shredded chicken, two halves of boneless duck feet? Su Ying really has never eaten these two dishes, "Serve them both."
"Okay, gentlemen, please take a moment." Saying this, the man took out an hourglass from his body and put it on the table.
Su Ying asked doubtfully, "What is this?"
"This is our timing hourglass. If all the dishes you ordered are not ready before the quicksand runs out, the restaurant will give you a free order tonight."
Zhou Qing was surprised, "There is such a good thing?"
The buddy nodded with a smile and stepped back.
"Ma\'am, this restaurant looks really different from others." There are so many new tricks, no wonder there are so many people here before the meal time.
Su Ying got up and went to the window, and found that there was still a line of people standing outside the restaurant, and he could still hear the waiter shouting at the top of his voice to let the people outside line up, and brought them chairs and some snacks, waiting There was food and drink during the process. With such a service attitude, it is no wonder that the restaurant on the opposite side has been robbed of all the customers.
Su Ying went back to the chair and sat down, when she heard a burst of cheerful music from below. Accompanied by the sound of drums, a group of graceful women with bare waists danced cheerfully from the background to the stage.
She twisted like a water snake, and with the emotional music, she immediately attracted everyone\'s attention.
Many men stared straight at the scene.
Su Ying found it more and more interesting the more he watched it, and always felt that the owner of this restaurant was a little different.
"Second guests, the crispy skin duck with plums you want is here, and the five-spice elbow. These two are hot dishes. It will taste better if you eat them while they are hot."
Su Ying was quickly attracted by the smell of food.
I have to say that both the duck and the elbow look very good.
Su Ying picked up a piece of duck meat with her chopsticks and ate it into her mouth, with a look of surprise in her eyes, this was a taste she had never tried before.
The skin of the duck is very crispy, but the meat under the skin is very tender, and there is even juice in the meat. A layer of sweet and sour plum sauce is poured on the meringue. It is sweet, crispy and not greasy at all. It is indeed delicious.
She took another bite of the elbow, which was already stewed until it was very soft, but he fried the skin of the stewed pork again, making the pork skin crispy and glutinous, and the two extreme tastes combined in one Together, the taste is surprisingly delicious.
Afterwards, the boneless duck feet and shredded chicken that were brought up were very satisfying to the taste, and I even wrote down this restaurant. If I have time, I will give Uncle He a break and let him come and taste it.
While eating delicious food, Su Ying didn\'t care to enjoy the performance on the stage at all.
After Su Ying was full, she came to the door, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Zhou Xiangrong, who was wearing a gauze hat, talking to the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
She just followed her when she saw her. Although she wore a gauze hat on her face, she remembered her figure.
Judging from the shopkeeper\'s respectful expression, Zhou Xiangrong doesn\'t look like a customer here, but rather seems to be in charge.
Could it be that this restaurant belongs to the Bo\'anhou Mansion?
Su Ying quickly denied her guess. If Marquis Bo An really had such great ability, he wouldn\'t be able to remain a sixth-rank official in ten years.
Zhou Xiangrong said a few words to the shopkeeper and left the restaurant.
"Zhou Qing, let\'s go."
Zhou Qing responded, called the waiter to pay the bill, and followed Su Ying out of the restaurant.
Su Ying left the restaurant and asked Zhou Qing to go back to the carriage to wait for her, while she quietly followed Zhou Xiangrong\'s footsteps.
After leaving the restaurant, Zhou Xiangrong went to a teahouse. The shopkeeper of the teahouse saw her coming and greeted her respectfully.
Zhou Xiangrong followed the shopkeeper to the second floor of the teahouse.
The rooms in the teahouse are all separated by screens. If you listen carefully, you can hear the movement next door.
Su Ying stood next to the two of them, and heard the shopkeeper of the teahouse reporting the operation of the teahouse to Zhou Xiangrong.
