Zhou Xiaoxiao wore a men's clothing and took Yu Xingzhi for a stroll for a day. At this moment, he found a small noodle restaurant in an alley.

The front door of this noodle shop is not big, but it is clean and tidy. It sells noodles and barrel oven scones. There is a shed outside the door with three or five square tables.

There is a hole dug in the wall between the noodle shop, a thick wooden pole is built in, and a noodle table is placed underneath. The wooden pole is pressed on a large piece of dough. A young woman sits on the end of the wooden pole, jumping step by step, repeatedly pressing this piece. surface.This is "jumping noodles". When you eat it, cut it extremely thinly, take it out of the pot, and pour the soup made with big bones, sprinkle with lamb, chopped green onion, and lard.It tastes fragrant, tough and smooth, delicious.①

A large wooden barrel is placed outside, a layer of mud is pasted in the barrel, and a charcoal fire is burning at the bottom of the furnace.Stick the kneaded dough into the bucket.When layers of puff pastry are bulging, the surface is burnt, and the dough becomes golden yellow, hook it out with an iron hook.The taste is salty, fragrant and crispy, which is endless aftertaste.

Although the location of this shop was remote, there were so many customers that Zhou Xiaoxiao and Yu Xingzhi had to squeeze a table with a few people.

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked inward with his chopsticks, "Xingzhi, this is the best noodle restaurant in Fengxiang, you must try it."

Yu Xingzhi's eyes only stared at Zhou Xiaoxiao.In his eyes, Zhou Xiaoxiao no matter what he does, it seems to be radiant and warm, diminishing the gloom and anxiety that have been deposited in his heart these days.

Soon the boss brought out steaming noodles and a plate of fragrant scones.Put it on the two numbly and greet them enthusiastically.

The owner of the noodle shop is a man with a pocky face and a short stature, known as Sun Mazi.Because of his swift work and diligence, he also has a good skill in making noodles, so he married a young and beautiful daughter-in-law.

Nowadays, in the store, the husband and wife are both inside and outside.

Sun Mazi was busy with the dough, and shouted inwardly: "The eldest sister will come back to make some noodles and beat the cakes."

Hearing "Hey." From the inside, the young woman got down from the pole, held a plate of kneaded dough, and raised the curtain.

She saw her noodles drooping, her demeanor was gentle, and a pair of red and crisp hands separated white dough, adding a bit of feminine charm.The Sun Mazi smiled and took the good dough, sprinkled it with chopped sesame and green onions, and stuck it into the inner wall of the stove.The couple passed one by one, and they had a tacit understanding.

Zhou Xiaoxiao sniffed the noodles: "Is it delicious?"

Yu Xingzhi and her ate noodles next to her head: "The world is beautiful."

"Eat with you, there is nothing beautiful in the world." Yu Xingzhi looked at the busy young couple with envy, "Looking at the two people there, although they are small households, they are deeply affectionate and support each other. Will, it's aspirational."

Zhou Xiaoxiao leaned her head and said: "Each family has its own troubles. These two people look on the surface and beautiful. In fact, this Sun Mazi is a domestic violence man. He takes pleasure in beating his wife day and night. His wife likes to steal men. No one knows anything about the neighbors, but only tells Sun Mazi. Unlike you and me, who are separated by thousands of miles, but are connected, far better than such a person who looks like a god. Why should you envy others?"

Yu Xingzhi’s eyelashes drooped: "Jia Ci does not agree with you and me. Xiaoxiao, can you wait for me for a while. It may be a long time, maybe a year...maybe two years. But I must do my best. I promise to live up to you."

Zhou Xiaoxiao stared at him and answered earnestly: "It's okay, I'm waiting for you. We can't force fate, we just do our best, and you don't have to suffer too much."

Yu Xingzhi couldn't help reaching out a hand from under the table and holding Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand.Zhou Xiaoxiao bit her lip and smirked crookedly.

"It's shameless in the public."

Zhou Xiaoxiao heard a sound that killed the scenery.

Looking up, it turned out that it was Cheng Shizhao and Cheng Shiqi two untimely guys.

Zhou Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and thought: What qualifications do you have to say about me, the beast who intends to seize brothers and women.

However, considering the inconvenience of Cheng Shizhao's position and the already very bad relationship between the two, he did not say this.

"Goro told me to wait and find it, but I never thought that Yujia Goro, who is known as the double walls of Kyoto, would look for food in these streets and alleys." The nine prince Cheng Shiqi squeezed a place next to Yu Xingzhi and watched that just came out. Pan's scones said, "This village snack is delicious. It seems a bit interesting."

Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Foragers are not contemptible, it turns out that the palace... Jiuye is also a fellow, would you like to taste it?"

Cheng Shiqi nodded: "Then I will taste a little."

Cheng Shizhao and a few guards in microservices stood aside, his face covered with black lines.

Zhou Xiaoxiao took out a dozen small coins, and clasped his fists to the diners at the same table: "The villain now has several brothers coming and wants to sit together. I also hope that several elders will move. I am disturbing you, here is a little bit of heart. , The right to apologize."

When everyone saw that she was chic, polite, and there were about a dozen coppers available, they all gave up their positions.

Zhou Xiaoxiao made a please gesture.Cheng Shiqi happily took the chopsticks and moved to sit on the opposite side of the square table.Cheng Shizhao sat down unwillingly.Several guards dared not take their seats, but stood sideways behind them.

Zhou Xiaoxiao shouted to Sun Mazi: "The shopkeeper, let's have two more bowls of noodles and a pot of oven cakes, and we will add dried plums and vegetables and crisps."

Sun Mazi responded loudly, "I know."

In a short while, steaming food will come up.

Cheng Shiqi ate chopsticks, his eyes lit up, and said: "It is delicious and smooth, and it is really delicious. There are such authentic delicacies in such poor streets and alleys. Six brothers, you can try it too."

Cheng Shizhao's face was dark and he said nothing.

Yu Xingzhi's face was not worried and was silent.

Only Cheng Shiqi slumped and ate the dough.

Zhou Xiaoxiao knew of the three of them, one couldn't get off the stage, one had grievances in his heart, and the remaining one just wanted to make peace.

Although she disliked Cheng Shizhao in her heart, she knew that Yu Xingzhi's current situation was already very difficult, and she didn't want him to be embarrassed by making enemies again.

What's more, it was oneself who was beating someone, and it was the other party who was beating.

So she decided to turn the matter over, anyway, she wouldn't need to interact with such perverted characters in the future.

"That day." Zhou Xiaoxiao said.

All three people on the table turned to look at her.

Zhou Xiaoxiao dressed up and calmly said: "Previously, Liu Ye and I had a dispute over some trivial matters. I lost control for a while and acted rebelliously. Fortunately, Liu Ye was generous and different from the villain."

She stood up, bowed slowly, and took a deep look at Cheng Shizhao.

It's almost done. I'm handing you a ladder. Let's get down the donkey quickly.

When Cheng Shizhao heard her mention the scandal of that day, she sat on pins and needles.Later, when she heard that she had passed it, a big stone fell in her heart, and she thought: Count your interest.

Taking a glance at Yu Xingzhi, he said in his heart: Zigui ah Zigui, if it wasn't for you, why should this king suffer from the wretchedness of these village shrews.You guys who have forgotten friends do such a good job.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xingzhi did not look at him at all, but grabbed Zhou Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, you don't have to apologize. I know you are not an unreasonable person. The cousin must have done something excessive first."

Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled, she never hesitated to express her love for others.

She leaned over and said in a voice that seemed to be quiet, but in fact all four of them could hear: "Anyway, if I hit someone, it's still my fault. You help me intercede with my cousin and ask him to forgive me. Just don’t take my head."

Cheng Shizhao's complexion flushed and became angry.

Cheng Shiqi hurriedly rounded up the field: "Okay, it's okay, Sixth Brother, you shouldn't be bothered with women. You must be ugly."

Then he said to Zhou Xiaoxiao: "Miss Zhou, since you said you want to apologize, how can you be so stingy, just ask me to wait for the noodles? Is there any delicacy in Fengxiang City? It is serious to take us to taste it. ."

Zhou Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in her heart, and I said that apologizing is just a gesture. Do you think I really apologize to you two scumbags?

"Okay, this top-notch delicacy in Fengxiang City is one thing, but the two might not dare to eat it." Zhou Xiaoxiao gently tapped the bowl with his chopsticks.

"What is it?" Cheng Shiqi dared to be curious.

"Puffer."

"I have heard of it. It is said that this product is extremely delicious, and it is the most unique in the world. I regret that I have never seen it in Kyoto."

The guard Guo Suren behind Cheng Shizhao leaned over and whispered: "Liu Ye, pufferfish are highly toxic. It is reported that two people died of poisoning by eating pufferfish in Jiangyin last year. Never eat them lightly."

Zhou Xiaoxiao clapped his hands and stood up: "There is a local saying,'Eating puffer fish desperately'. It can be seen that non-glutinous people dare not try it. If Liu Ye dare not eat it, please come back, Xingzhi, Jiu Ye, let's go?"

Cheng Shizhao's face was blue and white, and he stood up with a snap, "Is there anything I dare not do alone?"

Everyone moved across the river.

It was getting late at the moment, and the fishing fires on the riverbed echoed with the sunset, which was really beautiful.

There is an ancient bridge at the northern foot of the river. There is a small shop in the bridge hole along the bank. I picked a few angry lanterns and set up two tables.A stone carved sign was placed outside the store, and I took a closer look and wrote a few lines: Xiaodian's ancestors handed down the skill of slaughtering puffer fish, which guarantees that the official food will be safe.

Whenever the store sees someone coming, he paints a layer of ink on the stone slab, pastes a familiar announcement, expands the next page of text, and hands it to the diners.It is equivalent to signing a guarantee.Just slaughtered the puffer fish.

Cheng Shiqi looked interesting and admired: "Eating pufferfish here is just the Jiangfeng fishing fire, the wormwood is full of the ground, and it is fun. It is a hundred times better than the palace banquet."

Zhou Xiaoxiao gave him a thumbs up: "Jiuye is really a glutton for food."

The fresh and tender puffer fish was brought to the table for a while, and the store ate chopsticks in front of everyone.Just now he greeted: "Guest officials, please use it slowly."

Yu Xingzhi picked up the chopsticks: "Sure enough, the smell is so fragrant, it makes the index finger move, let me first taste whether it is as delicious as the rumors.

Cheng Shizhao stretched out his hand to stop, and said: "Xingzhi, wait a moment. I will taste it first."

Another Guo Suren stopped him from the side, "Six masters take a moment, let the villain dare to try first."

Zhou Xiaoxiao rushed to eat a few bites first.The Ninth Prince Cheng Shiqi couldn't stand it either, and he kept his mouth scalded while holding up the chopsticks.

When the rest of the people saw this, they were relieved to eat.A group of guards also set up a table from the side.

All the food is praised, and the Tao is really delicious.

Zhou Xiaoxiao thought to herself that although Cheng Shizhao is shameless, he seems to be sincere about Xingzhi.For the sake of Xingzhi, let's forget it this time.So he said to Cheng Shizhao: "Since Liu Ye eats my puffer fish, it can be regarded as a life and death friendship. We have turned over the little things before, right?"

Cheng Shizhao didn't say anything, and said in his heart: Although this woman is vulgar, she is sincere when she knows how to do it. Looking at the face of Xingzhi, this king will not give you the general knowledge of this woman.

Everyone was full of food and drink. Cheng Shiqi touched her chubby belly and sighed: "It's a pity that I will return to Beijing in the near future. I can't taste this deliciousness. It's a regret in my life."

"Are you going back? When?" Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Xingzhi.

Yu Xingzhi apologized: "There are still important things in Beijing recently, and with my cousin who came with me, it is really inappropriate to leave Beijing without permission. It is necessary to return within one or two days.

Without saying it all, Yu Xingzhi moved his eyebrows lightly, his eyes circled, his eyes fixed on Zhou Xiaoxiao, showing a sense of reluctance.

Zhou Xiaoxiao thought of Yu Xingzhi’s letter for her, regardless of running down thousands of miles, feeling a little bit sour and uncomfortable in her heart. She moved her brain and made her mind temporarily: “Why don’t I accompany you to Beijing together? I plan to open a house in Kyoto. The branch of the moon cake shop just happened to step on a spot before coming back."

"Xiaoxiao, what was said is true?" Yu Xingzhi was overjoyed and couldn't help being happy.

But he wanted to spend more time with his beloved, and worried that she would be drawn into the vortex of Kyoto.

"It's fine, I'll only accompany you all the way. I'll still turn around today." Zhou Xiaoxiao knew what he was worried about. "After arriving in Kyoto, we are all busy, and we are probably going to meet each other flawlessly. I will wait for my preparation and start in Kyoto in the future. At the branch, when you meet me, it’s cheap."

Cheng Shizhao sneered and said, "Earlier, I said that I would let you go to Beijing, and you would make troubles and make troubles. It was so volatile and moody."

Zhou Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes: "Okay, okay, my Highness, aren't all women like this, don't you care about me."

She thought in her heart, I broke up with Yu Xingzhi before, and you wanted to lock me in a house as an outside room, of course I refused.Now I know that breaking up was not his intention. We are reconciled. I naturally want to create more conditions to get along with him.If you don't eat your royal palace's food, do you need to control it?

But she just said: "Xingzhi recovered from the serious illness, I am not at ease, take care of his daily life along the way. I saved any mistakes, and your Highness blamed me."

"You!" Cheng Shizhao said angrily, "It's really hard to support women and villains."
