Volume II Chang'an Raging Fire Chapter 47 Linjiang Inn
"Dirty." Su Yunying snorted softly: "You don't know that in the Miao border area to the west of Sichuan, there are women who are good at playing poison, especially when dealing with a messy intestine like yours, planting bugs into your stomach,
Eat your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys!”
"Uh..." Yan Yunting curled his lips, "Then what do you think the most famous thing about Yuzhou City is?"
"Of course it's Sichuan cuisine." Su Yunying stretched out her jade hand and pointed in the direction of the Changhe Ferry: "There is a Linjiang Inn by the city. There is a 'God of Cooking' in the inn. Many princes and nobles have traveled thousands of miles to come to Yuzhou City.
, just to have a bite of his Sichuan cuisine... Let’s stay overnight at Linjiang Inn tonight and have a full meal!"
Yan Yunting said bitterly: "It doesn't sound cheap. Do you still have enough money in your bag?"
"Huh? Speaking of money..." Su Yunying turned around and disliked Yan Yunting and Wu Jie: "You two paupers came all the way to eat my food, live in my house, and I bought the horse. Without you, I would
How could my wallet shrink so quickly? Tell me, how can you compensate me?"
Wujie said softly: "I've been bothering you for the past few days. Donor Su, you can take care of yourself in the hotel. We only need a piece of tile to cover ourselves."
"This is what you said, so you can sleep in the stable tonight." Su Yunying hurriedly rushed to Linjiang Inn.
"Hey, I didn't say it, he said it. I also want to sleep in a big bed and eat Sichuan food!" Yan Yunting quickly rode up to follow. Wu Jie followed closely behind.
…
Linjiang Inn. As its name suggests, it is located on the bank of the long river. It is three stories high and more than twenty feet across. There are hundreds of guest rooms. It has glazed roof tiles, lacquered red columns, and carved dragons and phoenixes on the railings, making it look like a hotel.
A magnificent palace.
"Why is there no servant in such a big inn to lead the horse?" Su Yunying complained in a low voice.
Such a grand inn, and it was almost dinner time, so it should be packed with guests, but the front of the inn was deserted, with not a single diner.
"Is it closing time?"
"Stupid, it's time for dinner soon. Why is it closed?" Su Yunying stepped forward and knocked on the door, raising her voice:
"Shop! Shop! Is anyone here?"
After a while, a young boy ran out. When he saw a few people holding horses, he said: "I'm sorry, everyone, our store is temporarily closed for customers today, why don't you go somewhere else to stay?"
Su Yunying asked puzzledly: "Why? Isn't the door of the inn open? You didn't put up a proof sign."
The young man explained: "It's not that it's not open, it's just that it's not open to ordinary people. Our inn will welcome some big names in the world tonight. The shopkeeper is afraid of affecting ordinary diners, so he doesn't plan to open it to outsiders."
"Oh? Isn't that just right?" Su Yunying raised the sword in her hand, "See? We are also traveling in the world, not ordinary diners."
"Nvxia... this is really not a joke. You might get into trouble if you stay in this hotel." The young man looked embarrassed and pointed to another inn outside the street: "Why don't you stay at the Fumen Inn instead?
?The conditions there are no worse than our inn."
"To tell you the truth, the thing I'm least afraid of is trouble. I'm going to stay at your inn tonight, and I'm going to eat Sichuan food cooked by the God of Cooking." Su Yunying raised her chin and insisted on going there regardless of the boy's obstruction.
Walk inside the store.
"Xia Xia, Xia Xia, you can't-"
"Hey, little brother, if you stop her again, you may be in trouble. Swords have no eyes..." Yan Yunting patted the little boy on the shoulder and smiled.
"Okay... Since you don't listen to my advice, don't blame us if something happens!" The young man grinned and walked towards the counter.
"Get a good guest room and book a table of your inn's signature wine and food!" Su Yunying took out two silver ingots and slapped them on the counter, proudly.
"A guest room? You three can live there?" the boy said in surprise.
"How are you talking? Of course I live alone. As for the two of them," Su Yunying glanced at Yan Yunting and Wu Jie: "Let them sleep in the stable."
"How can you let your friends sleep in the stable..."
"What? You think it can't be done!" Su Yunying stared.
"Okay, okay...just wait a moment, I'll get you a sign right now. It's just the food and wine you want. Chef Wang needs to wait until other distinguished guests arrive before we can start a fire together."
The young man registered the three people in the register, took out a room card and handed it to Yan Yunting. Then he brought a pot of tea and told the people to sit down as they pleased.
Su Yunying found a seat by the window, opened the window, and a wisp of river breeze blew into the inn. As the day went by, cargo ships returned to the port one after another, and the fishermen began to weave fishing nets in preparation for fishing at night. The livelihood of the people in the mountain city can be seen.
A spot.
"Hey, look, that ship is so strange!" Su Yunying suddenly pointed at the river and exclaimed.
Yan Yunting looked along the river, and saw a large and beautiful ship sailing upstream from the lower reaches. Unlike other merchant ships, it had no oars or sails, and its sailing speed was even faster than the carriages on the shore.
.
"This is a machine ship." Yan Yunting said lightly. The structure of the ship in front of him was exactly the same as the "phantom ship" of Peacock Tower that he had seen in the desert before. The only difference was that one was driving on the water and the other was driving in the desert.
.
"If we can take this boat to Kunlun Mountain, how many detours can we avoid?" Su Yunying said.
"Then it depends on whether the owner of this ship will let us ride together." Yan Yunting said.
The engine ship quickly approached the dock, and a young man and an old man got off the ship one after another - the young man was about 24 or 25 years old, dressed in white brocade clothes, with long hair that was not stained by wind and dust, handsome and tall without losing masculinity;
The old man is more than sixty years old, his hair has been dyed frost white, his body is stooped, his cheeks are thin, his expression is serious, and he has a pair of bright brown eyes.
The two of them walked to Linjiang Inn together.
"Oh, Ah Shan, Ah Shui... A distinguished guest is here, follow me out to greet him!" In the Linjiang Inn, a fat middle-aged man with a bloated body hurriedly ran out from the kitchen, taking off his apron and rushing to the store.
Guys say hello.
Several waiters put down what they were doing and followed the middle-aged fat man out of the inn. Not far from the inn was the pier. The middle-aged fat man greeted the two people who got off the boat:
"Mr. Lin, Elder Baili, you two are here. Wang couldn't greet you in time. Please forgive me, forgive me, hehe..."
"Shopkeeper Wang is too polite. We are here to disturb your store tonight and cause you trouble." The man in white smiled warmly and showed a slight courtesy.
"Oh! It's our blessing that the best young master in the world can stay at Laijiang Inn." Shopkeeper Wang made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, you two have come all the way from the south of the Yangtze River. You must be tired."
Come on, please take a rest in the store."
The three of them walked towards Linjiang Inn together.
