Chapter 289 [The corner of the restaurant]
Fang Chang nodded, he was not surprised by this.
After all, the rumors of the people have always been out of shape quickly.
Every thing starts from the first time it happens and is expressed, and every time it spreads, it will naturally be slightly deformed because of the different expression methods of the narrator and the surprise of the listener's understanding.
Plus the mistakes and omissions in the middle of the communication, the exaggeration to attract attention, and the imagination added for various reasons...
As long as things spread, the final result will exceed everyone's expectations.
So Fang Chang smiled and said:
"You two, what are you doing on the water?"
The young man looked a little shy, and he told the person in front of him: "We are two brothers and sisters, but we just saw that the scenery here is very beautiful, and we play here... I don't know what the name of the senior is?"
Fang Chang waved his hand and said:
"It's not a senior. My surname is Fang, and my name is Fang Chang. Where are you two?"
"I'm Zhuo Tianxing, this is my junior sister Zhai Tianyue." After finishing speaking, the young man asked with a little embarrassment: "Senior Fang, the sword behind you looks really good, can you lend me a look?"
When he saw Fang Chang by the water just now, he noticed the sword behind him.
As a sword cultivator, he is naturally happy to meet a good sword, and practitioners are always straightforward, so they made this presumptuous request regardless of the encounter just now.
Fang Chang didn't care, he smiled heartily: "Okay."
Then he untied the Lingquan sword behind his back, and handed the scabbard to the boy in front of him. The boy took it carefully, and looked at it carefully with the girl next to him.
The decoration of the Lingquan sword is very simple, the bark is the sheath, the ivy is wrapped around the handle, and the strap is only made of animal skins such as rabbits and sheep, but these cannot conceal its spirituality at all. In the eyes of these two young people who specialize in the sword as the basis of their practice, the Lingquan Sword has brought quite a shock.
What's more, even the bark sheath that looks rough and simple is no longer the original material. I don't know if it's because I've been with this spirit sword for a long time, or because of other reasons, these tree barks, vines, animal skins, etc. have become either solid or flexible, which is very suitable.
"Lingquan..." The young man lightly read the two words engraved on the scabbard, then grasped the hilt and drew it lightly, revealing the cut blade.
In an instant, a sense of sharpness and sternness swept over them, making the two of them feel as if they had entered an ice cellar in the dog days.
"It's really a good sword." The young man put the sword back into its sheath and handed it to Fang Chang again, "It's because of the way of cultivation, I'm glad to see it, and I hope seniors don't blame it." It fits the current atmosphere, but he is not familiar with the person in front of him, so he finally held back.
Fang Chang put the Lingquan sword on his back again, and asked: "How many sword masters are there in Shu? I came here from the Central Plains, and I can find some places to talk to people to practice, and by the way, I will contact my colleagues in the world. About this catastrophe How to get through."
The young Zhuo Tianxing thought about it and said:
"It shouldn't be too rare, right? But they all have a loose relationship with each other. Most of them like to travel alone and practice on steep mountains. The three masters and apprentices like me and my junior sister are already relatively dense. If Senior Fang wants to communicate , you can go to our Bainiaoya, my master has always been hospitable."
"Okay." Fang Chang said with a smile, "I originally wanted to take a stroll in this Sichuan area, and communicate with each other if I met you by fate, and it is also fate to meet you today, so I will go to the White Bird Cliff—how to get there? "
The two young men slapped the scabbard on their backs, and the flying sword shot out instantly, coming to their feet, and then the two joined the sword, and they rose into the air in an instant, going far away.
The two just told Chang Fang that they went down the mountain this time to find a place to buy some things.
It's just that the two young people obviously didn't let go of their admiration for the beautiful scenery on the road.
………
Fang Chang looked for the direction and walked towards the direction of Bainiaoya.
There are many villages and towns along the way, and the fields are connected.
Shu has high-quality grain wine, which is brewed in a unique way. He bought a lot on the way and put it in a gourd on his waist. The main raw material of this wine is not only sorghum, but also rice, glutinous rice, wheat, etc., so it was classified into a separate category by Fang Chang, and it was not confused with the previous sorghum wine.
On this day, Chang Fang found a small restaurant and went in to solve the lunch problem.
The surrounding area is very prosperous, the people are well-off, and when ordinary people have spare money, all walks of life are easy to do. Therefore, although the food characteristics of this small shop are not obvious, the business is still booming.
"Guest officer, please~" the shop waiter came up to greet him.
"Give me a seat upstairs by the window." Fang Chang said familiarly.
"Okay! There's one seat by the window on the second floor~!" The boy announced loudly, and then hurriedly greeted the next person who entered the door, and other fellows came forward, leading Fang Changdao to the window seat on the second floor. Sit down at the table.
The weather here is a bit humid and hot, so there is always wind blowing in from the window with the sash on the second floor, which makes people very comfortable. Therefore, every restaurant in Sichuan, as long as it has a second floor, will increase the position by the window. up the price.
Sitting at the seat by the window, the staff in the store took care of it in a timely manner, and there was no need to share a table with other diners. Although Fang Chang is not picky about the hot and cold environment, but he has ample money and is happy to go to a clean place.
"What do you want, officer?" Xiao Er came over and asked.
Fang Chang asked about the menu, and ordered a few items casually.
It is camphor roast duck, sweet meat, scallion oil fish, lotus root with honey sauce. The staple food is only rice, and Fang Chang also ordered a large bowl. The store's hands and feet are also nimble, and these dishes are brought up in a short while and arranged neatly.
Camphor wood roast duck is exquisitely made. It needs to choose the fat and tender male duck in autumn. After marinating with sugar and salt and other seasonings, it is smoked with camphor wood and then steamed and fried. It is golden red in color, tender and attractive, with a special aroma. It tastes slightly sweet, pleasantly fragrant and extremely delicious.
The sweet meat is marinated with sliced five flowers, and steamed with glutinous rice in the pot. When it comes out of the pot, it needs to be flipped and buckled. It is very common in Sichuan. Fang Chang has eaten it everywhere. The taste Pretty much the same.
Scallion fish, also known as rock sugar scallion fish, is made of black fish, the head and tail are removed, coated with starch and fried, and the remaining oil is added with rock sugar and chopped green onion, thickened and poured on the fish. This dish uses a lot of oil and rock sugar, the cost is very high, the price is the most expensive among several dishes today.
The lotus root in honey sauce is more delicately made. The hole of the lotus root is stuffed with glutinous rice. It tastes crisp, sweet and cool, which is very suitable for the current weather.
The taste of Sichuan is sweet, which is not quite the same as that of other places. However, when Fang Chang went to the East, he saw similar style dishes in Chaoyun Port.
He has good hearing, and suddenly heard someone downstairs sneaking into the restaurant, telling the boy to keep quiet, and then went directly to find the shopkeeper, took him to find a quiet corner where no one was around, and started stealing. whisper.
"Old Guo, what's in your package?" The shopkeeper of the restaurant asked in doubt.
"Hey, this is a good thing I found from the Central Plains."
