Spring Forest Evening

As soon as I said this, not to mention Zhou Heng, even Brother Wang could sense something, and felt a little uneasy. The two girls were brought here by themselves, don't let this group of people have some internal strife in front of them. , that would not be beautiful.

Then he quickly smoothed things over with a smile: "It's not that we have to go to see it, the main reason is that we also sincerely want to rent a house, after all, we also need to live in it, so we thought it would be better to take a look, But if there is any embarrassment, then come back another day!"

This was quite well-behaved, Zhou Heng was very satisfied, and nodded in agreement.

The gray-robed man called He Dacai pondered for a while, and then said: "Since that's the case, it's better to hit the sun than choose another day. Let's go in and have a look. It's just that the room is a bit messy and hasn't been cleaned up."

While speaking, he raised his voice and shouted: "Mrs. Peng!"

It's strange to say that Zhou Heng didn't see her just now, but now he only heard a promise, and when he turned around, he saw the little old lady standing silently with a handful of celery in her hand. In the distance, I was almost startled.

Sensing Chun Yu gently tugging on his sleeve again, Zhou Heng felt that this was a warning to himself that the old woman was not an ordinary person, so he tightened Chun Yu's hand as a response to Chun Yu, who had kept her head down and pretended to be shy. , and then smiled and said politely to Mrs. Peng: "Thank you!"

Afterwards, under the gaze of the man surnamed He, Mrs. Peng came over and led the three of them to the door of the main room without saying a word, and then took the lead in pushing the door and walking in.

Zhou Heng was a little disappointed. He had little expectations at first, but it was clearly a room with ordinary decorations in this era. To be exact, it was actually a room of an ordinary family. A square table, a chair on each side, and a bedroom separated by a curtain on the right. Zhou Heng walked over and looked around, and there was only a bed and a low table at the head of the bed. , a large wardrobe.

On the left side of the room, there are some debris piled up, which looks a bit messy.

It seems that it is indeed a temporary place. Zhou Heng looked around quickly, then went out and thanked the man surnamed He who was waiting outside the door with a smile: "The place is quite spacious, we need to repair it a little bit. It should be livable."

He lowered his head and asked Chun Yu, who seemed to be very shy and silent all the time, to discuss and ask: "Actually, it's okay, why don't we write a letter to my cousin when we get back? We have to give a letter as soon as possible, or the elder brothers will be delayed." .”

Hearing Chun Yu lowering his head and answering "Yes", Zhou Heng raised his head and asked the man surnamed He: "I wonder when the elder brothers will leave? As for the rent, please try to make it as cheap as possible. If it is not convenient to tell me now, I will tell you later Brother Wang said the same thing."

When I first graduated, I also rented a house, so I have some experience in this aspect.

"That's right, anyway, my shop is right in front, so it's very convenient." Upon hearing this, little brother Wang once again used his ability to observe words and expressions when he was sent to the society, and said with a smile: "Let's go back and discuss it first, and give us an approval as soon as possible." letter."

The man surnamed He seemed a little embarrassed, and didn't answer the words of the two of them. Zhou Heng thought he was going to leave anyway, so he boldly smiled and asked the head of the strong man who had finished his meal and was standing in the yard picking his teeth. : "When will the big brothers leave? There must be a little grace for a few days."

In this way, I also have time to notify Shen Fu, or at least have time to notify Uncle He at the hot spring village.

"Just these two days," the brawny man was very happy, spit on the ground, then glanced at the man surnamed He who had been silent all this time, and said: "The price can be negotiated, we also..."

He paused at this point, and then said vaguely: "Anyway, as soon as possible, there are still a few that I want to rent."

If you want to rent it, you can rent it to them. Anyway, we don’t really want to rent your house. Zhou Heng was determined in his heart, and took advantage of the opportunity to leave: "Okay, then let's go back and discuss it first. Whether it is okay or not, I will reply you as soon as possible ,excuse me!"

After walking two steps forward, I remembered something again, and smiled at the strong man: "Brother, I think the Zhongnan Road is quite suitable for you. The famous dish is called Peach Blossom Fish. The two of them have always been obsessed with it. Although it is very spicy just by smelling it, it is also very fragrant, but my father always said that there is neither water nor fish in the Peach Blossom River here. It's always a lot worse—"

"Wait a minute, what is it called Peach Blossom Fish?" The burly man seemed to be quite delicious, and now he followed suit two steps: "You said it is a famous dish in Zhongnan Road?"

This dish was actually read by Zhou Heng at the Daxiangguo Temple before, that is, the Fengwuzhi written by General Xu decades ago that was even collected in the study of Zhou's family. I just went to eat.

It is said in the book that the Duke of Zhen surnamed Xie and his wife once went to eat it when they were young. The peach blossom fish tasted very delicious. After that, he mentioned it to General Xu several times. Later, General Xu passed by Zhongnan Road on his business trip. I tasted it once, and I was full of praise, saying that the spicy peach blossom fish is like a heroic and peerless beauty.

And the wonderful thing is that General Xu only ate it once in his life, so he never forgets it afterwards, just like meeting a beautiful woman who can't be found.

Zhou Heng was quite impressed by this description. When he came back, he specifically asked Zhou Yan next time, but Zhou Yan said that he had never been to Zhongnan Road, let alone heard of peach blossom fish. The reason why Zhou Heng mentioned it at this moment is just to make sure that the group of people in the lower house are really going to Zhongnan Road.

"That's right," Zhou Heng's face remained unchanged, and he would not meet them again anyway, so why not be afraid, he went on fooling around: "If it's not that I can't eat such spicy food, I would actually like to try it, but My father said that if the peach blossom fish is not spicy, it will lose its original taste, so I have no way of knowing how it tastes."

"Okay, it seems that I... eat too little river seafood on weekdays," the strong man scratched his head, smacked his lips, and waved to Zhou Heng: "I'm just saying this to you, girl, don't worry, as long as you can discuss it Yes, the rent must be the lowest for you!"

Zhou Heng didn't really believe what he said. In such a hurry, in this small town the size of a palm, could it be possible that someone really came to compete with him?Come on!

But on the surface, he still put on a look of surprise: "Really? Then thank you, big brother!" Chun Yu lowered his head: "Let's go, let's go back and tell our parents!"

Coming out of the mottled door, the two looked at each other, and saw a trace of relief and joy in each other's eyes, and then went back to Wang Ji's dry goods shop, thanked Brother Wang first, and then thanked each other with the same smile haha Shopkeeper Wang, who said it was okay, was rejected by the father and son when Zhou Heng wanted to buy another large bag of dried fruit and candied fruit:

"The two girls have already bought a lot in the past two days, so let's buy after eating, you're welcome!"

The father and son were fine, so Zhou Heng didn't insist anymore, and after thanking him, he went back to the inn with Chun Yu first.

Perhaps the people who had been watching outside the house before couldn't hold back. Not long after Zhou Heng returned to the inn, there was a knock on the door as agreed, and Chun Yu hurriedly got up and opened the door to welcome people in.

I have met twice before, so I know him well, so Zhou Heng directly told Mu Yun's guards about the details of the people in the house: "... Anyway, that's how it is. The boatman is not inside, but it seems They will soon retire the houses here and go to Zhongnan Road."

The guard didn't say much, and went out after a salute.

After the matter was explained, it was only now that I realized that I was quite hungry. Zhou Heng relaxed on the bed and lay on his back, sighed and sighed with Chunyu: "I just talked about peach blossom fish for a long time, oops, I really want to eat it now Fish, preferably fish with pickled cabbage!"

"Sauerkraut fish?" Chun Yu looked puzzled, saying that he was also a person who grew up in the capital, why had he never heard of such a dish?

"Uh," looking at her, Zhou Heng knew that he had slipped the tongue, so he lowered his head and got up while smoothing the folds on the plain dress while explaining vaguely: "I read it from the book, the one I just said Peach Blossom Fish too."

"Miss Biao, you are really well-read!" Chun Yu said from the bottom of her heart. Just now, she was afraid of being recognized by the man surnamed He, so she kept her head down and did not dare to say anything. Miss Biao was the only one responsible for the whole process. Unexpectedly, Miss Biao was so courageous that she easily figured out where those people would go in the future.

Even in the face of Mrs. Peng who somehow made people feel a little chilled, unlike herself, Miss Biao still talked and laughed freely.

Thinking of this, Chun Yu, who was secretly dissatisfied with Shen Fu's confession that he should listen to Miss Biao, felt that after all, the prince has a good eye for people, and later he followed Zhou Heng's actions with all his heart.

Moreover, Miss Biao is still a kind person, although, I already knew this before, for example, I heard that a pot of rare peonies was planted by the bank of Shangyun Pool, but if I wanted to eat fish, I immediately dragged myself around the street to ask about it. A restaurant that can cook fish, um, is also cute.

Fortunately, although there are only two streets, there are only a few restaurants, and they mainly make dishes based on mountain ingredients. After asking around, I actually found one for the two of them. It is said that I just bought two this morning. The restaurant of the big carp.

Zhou Heng suddenly felt that he was very lucky today. After all, the shopkeeper's family had a happy event to buy those two carps from a nearby small town. There was a river passing through the town in that town.

Although the price is a bit expensive, money is not a problem. Shen Fu gave himself a lot of money, and one fish is enough for two people, and it will not affect the family banquet at the shopkeeper's house tonight.

Zhou Heng slapped the table excitedly to the restaurant chef who came out and asked how he wanted to cook that big carp: "Let's braise it in soy sauce, the soup is thicker, and it can be used as a topping for rice!"

After explaining it, she stretched out her hand and squeezed Chun Yu's fair face, who had been smiling and looking at her, "Oh, sister, my saliva is about to flow out!"
