Chapter 127 Female Guest
The next day, Mrs. Shang Shu went straight to a restaurant.
She is a little concerned about Miss Luo's style, but she doesn't care, she still has to eat.
Who made the old man beard like that for two consecutive days.
Walking to Qingxing Street, Mrs. Shangshu met an acquaintance head-on.
"Madam Wang, long time no see." Mrs. Shang Shu took the initiative to say hello.
The one I met was Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Ning Guogong, and the woman supporting Mrs. Wang beside her was his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ning Guogong.
The girl Mrs. Shangshu who was standing on the side of Mrs. Ning Guo also knew her. She was the eldest girl of the Marquis of Changchun.
Mrs. Shangshu didn't have much enthusiasm for this big girl in the Marquis of Changchun, because she had a grandparent's family who committed a crime. Of course, I will not deliberately show dislike.
Mrs. Wang was also a little surprised to see Mrs. Shang Shu, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, is Mrs. Liu going to Zhenbao Pavilion? Why didn't you let your daughter-in-law accompany you?"
Accompanied by the daughter-in-law? How can this work.
Mrs. Shangshu thought that if the food and drinks in a restaurant were really delicious, she might eat more, and it would be bad for her daughter-in-law.
"I'm not going to Zhenbao Pavilion. Mrs. Wang is taking her daughter-in-law to Zhenbao Pavilion?"
Madam Wang smiled and said, "I'm not going to Zhenbao Pavilion either."
Speaking of this, she pointed to the respectful girl: "Yesterday, someone brought a plate of stewed beef to Fang Yatou. Fang Yatou was filial and sent it to my daughter-in-law and me. We tasted it well, so let's taste it together today. "
"Where is the stewed beef so delicious that Mrs. Wang can go out on purpose?" Speaking of this, Mrs. Shangshu already had a premonition.
Sure enough, Mrs. Wang said: "I heard from Miss Fang that it is a wine shop, called Youjian Wine Shop."
Mrs. Shangshu smiled: "It's a coincidence, I also went to a wine shop—"
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Shangshu's tone changed slightly: "Is there a restaurant that sent braised beef to the Duke's mansion?"
Madam Wang didn't know why, so she said casually: "Yes, it's specially given to Fang girl."
Mrs. Shangshu's eyebrows became tighter and tighter.
No, that's not what the old man said yesterday when he came back from a mouth full of greasy food.
The old man said that other restaurants do not allow takeout!
Mrs. Shangshu's heart was already thundering, but there was a smile on her face: "Since we are going to a wine shop, let's go there together. It happens that I haven't had tea with Mrs. Wang for some days."
"That's good, let's go together."
The two groups of people merged into one group, and they met an acquaintance after walking a few steps.
"Madam Jijiu is also interested in shopping today?"
Mrs. Lin naturally didn't come out for shopping.
The manager handed a bill to her early this morning, saying that the old man invited someone to drink and keep the bill last night, and the restaurant came to collect the bill.
She almost fainted when she saw it.
Four hundred and sixty-five taels of silver!
Upon further questioning, it turned out to be just a small tavern.
Did the old man invite someone to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and it cost more than four hundred taels for a meal?
Madam Jijiu didn't believe it at all.
The old man should not be late for the festival. In fact, he went to Jinshuihe to enjoy himself?
The hateful thing is that the old thing went to the government office just after dawn, so she couldn't even ask her if she wanted to.
In this case, she simply came to the restaurant to find out in person, and then decided on her attitude towards the old man at night.
Of course, outsiders cannot reveal this thought.
Mrs. Shang Shu and Mrs. Ning Guogong looked at each other and couldn't help smiling.
"Is Madam Jijiu going to a restaurant?" Mrs. Ning Guogong asked.
Madam Jijiu was taken aback: "Madam Wang also knows that there is a wine shop?"
Ning Guogong's mansion is a goalkeeper, and there are many men who have lost their swords and eyes on the battlefield. Mrs. Ning Guogong was a widow in her early years, so she didn't go out very much.
Madam Wang smiled and said, "I also heard that this newly opened restaurant tastes good, come and try it."
The three parties have the same purpose and naturally go together.
At this time, the restaurant just opened.
Hongdou stood lazily by the door, and when she saw Mrs. Shang Shu and others approaching, she exclaimed, "Ah, there are many female guests here."
The female shopkeeper walked quickly to squeeze the red beans away, and smiled warmly and sincerely at Mrs. Shangshu and the others: "Please, ladies."
She is really a little girl who can't speak. It's strange that there are female customers coming to the wine shop. Wouldn't it make people misunderstand the wine shop if she yelled and screamed?
Mrs. Shang Shu walked into the lobby, looked around and nodded secretly.
It looks clean.
But in their identities, it is not appropriate to sit and eat in the lobby.
"Is there an elegant room?" Mrs. Shang Shu asked.
"Yes, upstairs, please." The female shopkeeper personally led several people up the stairs.
Of course there is an elegant room. Not long ago, she greeted the new owner in the elegant room.
But at that time, they sold rouge powder.
Thank goodness the new owner bought the makeup shop and turned it into a wine shop, so that she can have food from now on.
before? What I ate before was not rice, but pig food.
Mrs. Shangshu and the others walked into the elegant room and took a seat, looking at it again.
The elegant room is not big and the layout is simple. With the eyesight of a few people, it can be seen at a glance that the seemingly ordinary vase on the high table is actually an old object of Liang Shi, which is worth tens of thousands of gold.
As for the duckbill incense burner that exudes elegant fragrance, it is even older.
This low-key luxury made several noble ladies relax.
The environment they are familiar with on weekdays is originally such an environment.
"I wonder what the ladies want to eat?"
At this time, the person who answers the call is usually the host.
Mrs. Shangshu thinks that people have invited Zhao Shangshu to eat here for two consecutive days. Even if the price is a little expensive, it will not be more expensive than Wuweizhai, the best restaurant in the capital, right?
It's rare to meet Mrs. Ning Guogong and Mrs. Lin Jijiu, so it's okay to be the host.
"I don't know what's there?" Mrs. Shangshu asked with a smile.
Mrs. Ning Guogong and Mrs. Jijiu saw that Mrs. Shangshu spoke first, and there was no polite competition.
It's just a meal, and it's a joke to fight in their identities.
By this time, Mrs. Jijiu obviously still didn't believe that Lin Jijiu's huge bill was really just from eating.
"Our restaurant's main products today are fried chicken and thousand-layer venetiana. We also sell stewed beef and duck tongue in sauce, but there is a limit of one plate for each table." The female shopkeeper introduced.
Ko'er, who followed in, quickly added: "The ladies are lucky, we still have mackerel dumplings in our restaurant today. Fresh mackerel meat and a handful of chives are squeezed into dumplings. The skin is thin and the stuffing is big, tender and juicy, dipped in vinegar Not to mention how delicious it is to eat."
Seeing Mrs. Shang Shu and the others were obviously moved, Kouer quoted the price articulately: "The fried chicken and stewed beef are both 22 taels a plate, the thousand-layer venetian and sauced duck tongue are 30 taels a plate, and the mackerel dumplings are 10 taels a piece." Two servings. That's right, our wine shop also sells orange wine. Our orange wine is different from the ones on the market. It is translucent and clear without any turbidity. If the ladies don't try it, they will lose money..."
Thinking of the deliciousness of the braised beef that I ate last night, Mrs. Ning Guogong and his wife looked at Mrs. Shangshu: "How about we try it?"
Thanks to the naughty little girl for the reward of ten thousand coins, and thanks to the book friends who voted for the reward.
