Chapter 532: Dark alley! Dim lights! Tempting.
“Ah? Ah???”
Chen Hui looked at Huang Shuqing who had already entered the driver's cab, and suddenly had an illusion that he came here with Chen Yaozu today.
After getting in the car, he asked cautiously, "Uncle Shuqing, where are we going to eat?"
"Hey, a dark alley, dim lights, and tempting meat aroma."
"That's a great place that most people don't know about! You must have never been there!"
"If you think of it now, go there. You won't be able to eat there! You have to call ahead!"
Huang Shuqing was already intoxicated after he finished speaking.
ah.
Ah this
"Uncle Shuqing, does Aunt Guixiang know that you go to such a place?" Chen Hui asked.
"How could she not know that? She wishes I would go there every day!"
"Oh no! How can you ask about such things about your elders? Really!"
Huang Shuqing waved his hand and drove attentively, passing through the busiest area of the city.
We came down to an alley with a wide entrance, "Let's go, get off!"
"Uncle Shuqing, are you sure you are going to eat?" Chen Hui got out of the car and asked again.
Although he was once a distinguished guest of such high-end places.
But after all, we are married now.
Inappropriate! Inappropriate!
"What are you going to eat? There is no time when you can't eat that one mouthful of rice!"
"If you really want to eat, ask the boss to prepare a bowl for you later."
Huang Shuqing waved his hand casually and walked forward, swinging the key.
Chen Hui followed behind.
The two walked in the wide alley for a while and then turned into a narrower alley.
Finally, Huang Shuqing stopped in front of a wooden door with a rather artistic front, knocked on it and called out, "Xiao Lu!"
"Hey! I'm here! Brother Shuqing, why are you so late?"
A female voice that sounded very sweet came from inside.
The wooden door was quickly opened, and a thin girl with a neat high ponytail came out.
The girl had a bright smile and looked like a serious person.
The most important thing is that she was wearing an apron with oily stains on it, which showed that it had been stained with oil over the years.
Seeing this outfit, Chen Hui breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why is it closed today? I'm a little afraid to go in." Huang Shuqing leaned over to take a look.
Chen Hui was also puzzled.
There is no restaurant that doesn't open its doors to welcome customers but instead keeps the door closed and waits for people.
It’s hard not to think about it!
"I didn't buy much fresh ingredients today, and you called again at noon, saying you wanted to bring a friend over at the last minute."
"Since there isn't enough food, I might as well just close the shop and have some peace and quiet!"
"Please come in, everything is ready!" said the girl named Xiaolu as she welcomed the two people in.
As soon as Chen Hui entered the room, his eyes became a little too busy.
Xiaolu's yard is full of flowers and plants, and is much more stylishly maintained than Huang Shuqing's house.
Small dim lights were lit in an orderly manner, and there were also some small lights hiding among the flowers and plants.
The interweaving of light and dark creates a very atmospheric atmosphere.
"Uncle Shuqing, is this what you mean by 'dark alleys and dim lights'?" Chen Hui asked.
"Isn't this vague?" Huang Shuqing asked back.
Chen Hui had nothing to refute, and he smiled, "Where's the tempting meat aroma?"
"Don't talk about that. I can't help it once you talk about it."
"Let me tell you, this meat smells really good!"
Huang Shuqing said this and took Chen Hui into the house.
Compared to the yard, the house is brighter and has fewer flowers and plants, and most of the fresh flowers have been replaced with fake decorative flowers.
There are four tables in the hall.
Huang Shuqing chose a seat next to the courtyard. Soon a young man came out with bowls and chopsticks, and while sharing the food, he greeted, "Brother Shuqing, have you been busy recently? You haven't been here for a long time."
"I'm not really busy, I'm just too lazy to run."
"You can't come here too often. I'm old now and my body can't handle it if I come too often."
Huang Shuqing and the young man smiled in tacit understanding.
Chen Hui roughly guessed something and smiled without saying much.
The young man distributed the bowls and chopsticks and left. Huang Shuqing waited for a while and saw that Chen Hui did not ask any questions.
Unable to hold back, he asked, "Why don't you ask what we are here to eat?"
"You'll know when the food is served," Chen Hui said calmly.
"You've probably never been to a place like this before, right? How could you resist asking this?"
"Hey! It's really boring if you do this!" Huang Shuqing felt uncomfortable.
Since it's a serious meal, there's no need to panic.
While chatting and laughing, Xiao Lu brought up a covered casserole with a faint aroma of medicinal herbs.
Transfer the casserole to the table, unroll and set aside.
He asked Huang Shuqing, "Brother Shuqing, would you like to introduce me to someone?"
"No need to introduce, just eat first! What if they don't dare to eat after you introduce it? Then I can't finish it by myself!" Huang Shuqing said while holding back his laughter.
While the two of them were talking, Chen Hui had already picked up the soup spoon and scooped up some food.
"Sheep whip, Gastrodia elata and Angelica sinensis soup! Uncle Shuqing, you are really good at eating."
After Chen Hui finished speaking, he put some into his own small bowl.
"It looks like people already know about it! Then I won't introduce it to you." Xiao Lu said and walked away with a smile.
Huang Shuqing was a little surprised: "It's already cooked like this, you can still tell?"
"Sheep penis has a strong smell, so it's better to clean it and grill it! Bull penis is more suitable for stewing soup."
"If we talk about curing the disease with similar ingredients, bull whip and deer whip are more effective than sheep whip!"
Chen Hui took a bite, frowned, put down the spoon and said.
"You've also eaten bullwhips!?"
"You're just bragging, right? The cows that farm in the village are more valuable than your dad, and you can even get bullwhips to eat!"
“Even if it’s an old cow that can’t farm anymore, it will be sold to outsiders instead of being disposed of by itself,” Huang Shuqing questioned.
"Of course I can't eat it in the village. I ate it once with others in the county town!"
"I heard that it was obtained secretly. I didn't ask where it came from."
Chen Hui just laughed it off and didn't argue any further.
Huang Shuqing’s words are a bit rough, but the social status of cattle in that era was indeed extraordinary.
"Hey! What about the deer whip you mentioned? Can your village get it?" Huang Shuqing asked with interest.
"Strictly speaking, what we got is not a deer, but a muntjac."
"It tastes a little softer than lamb whip, and has a little bit of mutton smell, but it won't have much of an impact if you cook it well."
"The most important thing is the effect! The effect is immediate, which is not comparable to the sheep raised at home."
Chen Hui saw Xiao Lu bringing out another plate of food and politely stopped talking.
"Brother Shuqing, I changed the cooking method of today's braised lamb."
"Try it and see if this tastes better or the original!"
Xiaolu said as she put the plate down.
Seeing that Chen Hui didn't touch the food in the small bowl, he wanted to say something several times.
In the end, he left without saying anything.
"Chen Hui, can we get the deer whip you mentioned?" Huang Shuqing asked impatiently after seeing the man leave.
"Uncle Shuqing? You need it!?"
