Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

"Third cousin, what delicious food does Jiankang have? Please take me to see it."

Your Excellency Yaoyu, Luo Qin pretended to be impatient and said to Xie Qi.

"Then take Cousin Luo to the restaurant and wine shop where we're going to dine. You can look around and eat whatever you want."

Luo Qin followed Xie Qi, and after wandering around for a long time, they finally arrived at the food street.

The first thing you see is the various cakes and pastries sold at roadside stalls. During this era, water mills were developed, wheat processing became more refined, and cakes made from flour developed rapidly.

Luo Qin finally saw the various kinds of cakes mentioned in "Cake Fu": Anqian (Sanzi), Jiu'er, Gouhou, Jiandai, Ancheng, Mantou, Suzhu, Bozhuang, Tangbing, Laowan, etc.

This kind of vegetarian food is mostly eaten by common people, and children of noble families like Xie Qi would look down on it.

The two continued to walk inside, and Luo Qin saw a lot of cheese. This was because after the cultural exchange between the Han people in the south and the Hu people in the north, the Da Jin Dynasty also learned to make cheese.

In her previous life, Luo Qin loved eating candied haws, but unfortunately, that thing didn't exist in this era. Candied haws originated from the Song Dynasty.

Jiankang Street Market is really vast. After walking around for a while, I looked up at the sky and it was almost noon (11 o'clock in the morning), and it was time for lunch.

Because it was almost lunch time and it was also a holiday, many rich and powerful people in fancy clothes came to the restaurants and taverns with their families to enjoy a meal.

There are many waiters on both sides of the street soliciting customers, and their shouts are endless.

Looking around, there are many restaurants on both sides of the street, with unique architectural styles, carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and brackets. Some restaurants are several stories high and magnificent; some are small and exquisite, with a unique style.

The restaurant was bustling with people, guests were like clouds, people were kneeling in front of the table, tasting all kinds of food, or talking and laughing loudly, it was really lively.

Walking on the street, the air is filled with the aroma of various foods, making people salivate.

Looking at the delicious food, there is an even greater variety, including all kinds of golden and crispy roasts, all kinds of tender and juicy stews, colorful, fragrant and delicious meat sauces, as well as exquisite pastries and desserts.

"Cousin Luo, which house are we going to?"

Obviously, Xie Qi was also hungry after shopping, and she became interested when she saw these delicious foods.

"Which house does the third cousin often go to?"

Xie Qi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take you to Xikeju to try it."

"can."

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of Xikeju, the servants came to greet them immediately and said, "Dear guests, please come in."

Luo Qin and the other person had gone to a private room by the window on the second floor, where a mat had already been set up. Rufang removed the veil for Luo Qin, revealing her appearance.

Xie Qi had already put on her robe and sat down. He said, "Cousin Luo, please sit down."

"Thank you."

Luo Qin took off his shoes and knelt down opposite Xie Qi's desk.

When the servant first saw Luo Qin wearing a veil, he thought she was a Hu woman from the north. When Luo Qin took off the veil and saw her face, he was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately recovered and lowered his head in panic.

How could a servant of his status look directly at such an extraordinary nobleman?

The servant bowed his head, walked respectfully to Xie Qi's side and asked, "What would you two nobles like to eat?"

"Roast lamb, roast pigeon, bone stew, water shield soup, goat cheese... and finally, turtle soup."

Xie Qi ordered a lot in one breath, and Luo Qin was shocked. How could they eat so much?

"Isn't this too much, third cousin?" Luo Qin said weakly.

I ordered more than ten servings! Are all noble children so wasteful of food?

"Don't worry, if you can't finish it, you can give it to Wu Lang and the others." Xie Qi said as a matter of course.

He did all this so that his cousin Luo could taste Xikeju's signature dishes.

Luo Qin felt relieved after hearing what he said.

Oh, yes, servants also need to eat... Wait, do the servants of the Xie family eat their masters’ leftovers?

Although it was leftovers, it was luxurious and rich, far better than the food of ordinary minor officials.

Rufang was Luoqin's personal maid, so she ate whatever Luoqin ate. But people like Pingyu just ate some cakes and porridge, and it was very good if they could have meat occasionally.

Well, I can only say that the Xie family is very wealthy.

The servants in the restaurant brought fragrant tea and filled two cups for the two of them. The boy and girl sipped the tea quietly while waiting for the food to be served.

"My dear." Wu Lang came in from outside the door.

Xie Qi, who was sitting with his back to the door, paused when he heard the voice, then put down the teacup in his hand and turned around, "What's the matter?"

Wu Lang bowed and said, "My lord, the eldest lord is here, and with him comes Wang Wu Lang."

"Please come quickly!"

When Xie Qi heard this, her eyes lit up obviously, and she quickly stood up to greet him, so Luo Qin naturally couldn't sit still.

As they walked to the door, they saw a tall figure wearing a veil following the handsome Wang Xu. They thought it was Xie Yun.

She thought that Xie Yun had finally squeezed out of the crowd and would stay indoors.

"Look, I told you Sanlang is here." Wang Xu saw the two people coming out to greet him, and raised his eyebrows and smiled at the man beside him.

"Brother, Brother Wuxie, please come in quickly!" Xie Qi smiled sincerely and hurriedly invited them into the private room, "Someone, someone, quickly set up the couch!"

Immediately, servants came to set the table and couch.

Luo Qin smiled deeply, walked slowly to Wang Xu, bowed and saluted: "Wang Wulang, it's been a long time since we last met. I wonder how the young master of the Wang family is doing recently?"

Wang glared at her and said, "I'm fine physically, but I'm not feeling well mentally."

"what?"

"It's been two months since I last parted with Miss Luo, and you didn't even say a word to me. You just kept making appointments with Xie Sanlang. We're all friends we met together, how can I feel good about it?"

"..."

Luo Qin paused, then laughed. Wang Zuo was just teasing him.

Xie Qi also laughed heartily, "Hahaha...Brother Wuxie, you really are..."

The girl smiled coquettishly, "It's my fault. I will definitely tell you next time when I have time..."

"Cough cough cough..."

A sudden cough came from the side, interrupting Luo Qin's unfinished words.

Luo Qin, Xie Qi and Wang Xu all looked at the person who made the sound.

After entering the room, Xie Yun took off his veil. At this moment, his handsome face was cold, and he could not see his emotions. "Sorry, I seem to have caught a cold last night..."

"Oh, brother, how could you be so careless? Come on, sit down and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up!"

Xie Qi immediately poured Xie Yun a cup of hot tea.

Xie Yun calmly gathered up his robe and sat down. He took the teacup handed to him by his brother, blew away the foam gently, took a sip, and then placed it on the table in front of him.

He raised his eyes and met the meaningful smile of Wang Lu, who was standing opposite him. Then he turned his head and saw the girl beside him looking at him inquiringly.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xie Yun's eyes.

It's all because of Wang Wuxie, who is so outspoken. How long has he known Miss Luo? He spoke as if they had known each other for many years and were extremely familiar with each other.

The most important thing is that Miss Luo actually went to ask him out. The dream didn’t say that this Miss Luo was involved with Wang Wulang.
