Chapter 200 The Emperor Arrives
Su Xiaoxiao brushed the pork ribs with oil so that they would not burn when grilled.
After preparing the charcoal, Su Xiaoxiao brought some tomatoes to roast and eat.
After working like this for several hours, Su Xiaoxiao didn't even have time to take a sip of saliva. Finally, at night, she finally had everything ready.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that after the surrounding sky gradually darkened, the bonfires over there also lit up.
At this time, in order to add a festive atmosphere to the bonfire party, Su Xiaoxiao asked someone to get some fireworks to set off.
Su Xiaoxiao hadn't seen anyone setting off fireworks in the village for a long time. Before this time, she was still looking forward to someone setting off fireworks. It was a symbol of the atmosphere, representing the New Year or some other festival.
At this time, everyone began to work in an orderly manner and set up the barbecue racks.
The newly bought sheep from the town was freshly killed and indeed tasted very fresh. Soon the aroma of roasted sheep began to spread around.
Su Xiaoxiao also grilled honey-glazed pork ribs. The aroma was everywhere and everyone's gluttons were about to be greedy.
In fact, the grilled pork ribs were even sweeter and fragrant, so delicious that Li Zheng couldn't help but eat several more pieces.
As cheers came one after another, the atmosphere reached its climax.
Everyone disagreed, feeling that such a scene seemed both familiar and strange.
There was a sense of being detached from the world, probably due to the roasted lamb and fine wine. Everyone was as happy as the gods in the sky.
At this moment when everyone was celebrating the happiest moment, Bruce came over with good things.
It turned out that he had also heard that there would be a bonfire party in the village today, so he came over with the wine he brewed himself.
This wine has been brewed for more than a year and has a very mellow taste. When you drink it, it basically has the aroma of grapes but very little alcohol.
It was the first time for everyone to try this kind of wine. Unexpectedly, it tasted better than daughter's red and jam.
After all, wine seems to be the taste of two drinks mixed together. Drinking a small glass of wine makes people feel a little tipsy.
Next to the bonfire, young men and women were singing and dancing around the bonfire, looking very happy.
Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw everyone eating and having fun, knowing that her bonfire party was a success.
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao paid wages to these young people who participated in the song and dance performance, and everyone left with the money satisfied.
When Su Xiaoxiao went to the store, she found Mrs. Sun standing cautiously at the door and saw Su Xiaoxiao coming over.
"Xiaoxiao, there is a man looking for you inside, saying he is your old acquaintance. As soon as he comes in, he looks here and there. I can't stop him."
"After all, I don't know him. I'm afraid he is some kind of big shot. It's not good for me to offend him without knowing it."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she said she knew him? Who is that? It doesn't sound good to say that we are still old acquaintances, right?
As a result, Su Xiaoxiao came into the room, and the man turned back and smiled at Su Xiaoxiao. As soon as his face appeared in front of Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao almost fell down.
Fortunately, Mrs. Sun was beside her to support her, "Are you okay?"
Next to the man stood a clean-skinned man in his fifties. He raised his finger to his mouth and made a "shh" gesture.
Su Xiaoxiao did not dare to speak. After she sent Mrs. Sun away, she came to the two people and asked softly: "Why are you here? Your Majesty, are you paying a private visit incognito?" Su Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that. , can we still meet the emperor in this ancient town of Xianglan? She had watched the TV series about Emperor Qianlong's private visit in disguise.
Unexpectedly, the current emperor had set this precedent more than a thousand years before Qianlong. A thousand years later, when Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, all those beautiful women would have been taken into the palace by this emperor, right?
As a joke, the emperor inspected Su Xiaoxiao's store. Although he was wearing ordinary people's clothes, he still had a very elegant temperament, which made him look very unusual. Speaking of which, Su Xiaoxiao thought so, If she had known, she would have felt worried when she heard the name of the emperor before.
"Your specialty store is doing well. I see many customers coming here."
Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head and immediately explained politely to the emperor: "As far as the emperor is concerned, it's not bad."
The emperor smiled and nodded, and then said to Su Xiaoxiao: "You don't need to call me emperor, you can call me by my name..."
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hands quickly, "That's not possible."
"Well, just call me Mr. Zhu! Do you think that's okay? There are so many people out there, and I'm afraid my identity will be exposed, so you should just call me that!"
Su Xiaoxiao quickly agreed. She knew that the surname "Zhu" was not ordinary. It was the surname of the current emperor.
Of course, people with the surname "Wu" are not ordinary, and they also have the surname of an emperor.
Empress Wu Zetian, right?
The emperor suddenly rubbed his stomach and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "I'm hungry, why don't you take me to have something to eat? We just arrived today and haven't had breakfast yet."
Su Xiaoxiao took a look and saw that only Eunuch Liu was around the emperor, and there were no guards around. The emperor was really brave.
How he did it, Su Xiaoxiao doesn't have time to think about it now.
"Mr. Zhu, if you are hungry, I will take you to eat something!"
But what to eat?
The emperor is quite particular. As the saying goes, dumplings are on the train and noodles are off, so he decided to eat noodles.
Su Xiaoxiao originally wanted to take the emperor to Qian Musheng's Eight Immortals House to eat, but at this time, even the private box might be fully booked.
Some big restaurants were overcrowded. When Su Xiaoxiao asked the emperor what he meant, he said just go and eat at a roadside stall.
Ever since he ate the kebabs made by that roadside stall in the capital, the emperor has been very interested in roadside stalls.
"Oh well."
Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take the emperor to eat at his roadside stall in the town. In fact, the noodles made by that noodle shop were really delicious.
And Su Xiaoxiao actually went there to eat many times. Qian Musheng took her to eat there before, and she gradually realized that this store was delicious and worth eating by herself. It happened to be the taste of the emperor. If it is similar to yourself, you can take him to eat with you.
After all, she came to her own territory, and Su Xiaoxiao had to fulfill her loyalty as a landlord no matter what.
She planned to take the emperor to eat at that roadside stall. This was a breakthrough. After all, the emperor had never been to that shop.
It just so happens that their main specialty is noodles, so I can try out the taste of this noodle shop.
