Chapter 989 A Pity for All This Meat

ffed, "That man would be delighted to see me disgraced so he could rest easy."They can't hurt me, they just bring people to the hall."Keep a close eye on those two little fellows, and don't let them k...Among them, there was a restaurant that surprisingly served food from the northern Xinjiang region. She looked up at the name of the restaurant, which was Yubaba Food House.

Inside, they mainly sell hand-grabbed rice, ramen, grilled mutton, steamed buns, and yogurt.

Seeing these dish names, Fang Jinshi was taken aback. Aren't these Xinjiang dishes

So Xinjiang is actually the North Frontier

She stood with Xiaoyue in the crowd. This shop was probably just opened in the capital recently. Its exotic features attracted many people to stop and watch, and it seemed to be the most popular.

After a while, several people walked out of the shop. They were probably the shopkeeper and his assistants. The shopkeeper was a woman with an elegant bearing.

The moment Fang Jinshi saw their faces, she couldn't help but reveal a look of "as expected," "They really are Uyghurs."

This deep and unique appearance is truly hard to ignore.

The common people of Central China probably rarely saw members of minority groups. They were all dumbfounded. The female shopkeeper from Xinjiang was wearing a very bold and eye-catching outfit. Her slender waist was only covered by a layer of red silk scarf.

This kind of look, where it's both revealing and concealing, is the most alluring.

Fang Jinshu asked Xiao Yue, "Shall we try some Beijang cuisine here for lunch too"

Besides the yogurt curd, she really liked all the other Xinjiang dishes, especially the roasted mutton and steamed buns.

Their family also has mutton on the table on weekdays, but the way people from Central China cook mutton is limited to just a few methods. Even if it's grilled over high heat, it can't achieve the flavor of Xinjiang cuisine.

It's pretty amazing.

Xiao Yue saw the young lady was interested and nodded.

"Such a shop is truly rare. If the Madam likes it, let's go in and have a look."

Yulian couldn't wait to go in, she stood at the door waving excitedly at Fang Jinxiu.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, Little Moon, hurry up! Otherwise, there won't even be a place to sit later, there are so many people inside!"

Three people finally squeezed in, the hall was already out of extra tables. Fang Jinshuu casually grabbed a shop boy.

"Little brother, do you have private rooms upstairs If so, we want one."

Xiao Er was still carrying the dish meant for the guest and hurriedly nodded.

"Yes, yes. Please wait a moment, sir."

He dashed upstairs to prepare the dishes, and after finishing, he shouted to the shopkeeper, “We have a private room available upstairs!”

The shopkeeper raised his hand to indicate he understood, then buried his head and started writing with his brush. He was probably making a record of something.

"How many guests are there Just three"

Little Yue nodded, "Take us up quickly."

There are just too many people and it's so crowded down there. This Bei Jiang cuisine restaurant is really doing well.

"Gentlemen, requesting a private room is quite wasteful. I'm speaking on behalf of all our guests, our private rooms come at an extra charge, and the price isn't cheap."

"If a few of you are okay waiting, would you like to take the tables in the lobby Some should be free soon."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue's face turned cold. She thought Xiao Er was saying this out of concern that they couldn't afford the room fee, and she felt a bit angry.

"Humph! What a bunch of blind, arrogant fools! Does our mistress look like someone who's broke You have your eyes shut tight!"

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback. She didn't expect Xiaoyue to defend her like this. She vaguely heard that Xiaer wasn't meaning anything malicious.

"Little Moon, don't do that."

The second waiter was startled by Xiaoyue's aura and quickly waved his hands to explain.

"That's not the objective. I'm just making a suggestion, definitely not looking down on any of you esteemed guests."

Fāng Jǐnxiù smiled, "It's nothing, little Second Brother. We're just going to book a private room, just for some quiet."

The little waiter's intention was to save money for the customers, but he forgot that in a place like the capital city, where every inch of land is valuable and even a falling leaf could hit an official, there wouldn't be a shortage of wealthy people.

Guests who come to the restaurant for a meal generally won't care about this little money. This also shows that the owner of this shop is indeed new to Beijing and doesn't know much about it yet.

"Alright, three honored guests, please follow me upstairs."

The private rooms upstairs were almost full. Fang Jinshu and her two companions followed the waiter into one of them. She looked around, and sure enough, the room was large. The table in front could easily seat ten people for a meal.

"Here is our menu, what would the three guests like to order"

Jade Lotus looked longingly at her sister-in-law, while Xiaoyue stood beside her, already researching how to make tea. She quickly prepared drinks for the two masters and placed them on the table.

Fang Jinxiu took the menu, "Then I'll order. Whatever I choose, you eat too. If we can't finish it all, we'll just take it home in a doggy bag."

Yu Lian nodded vigorously, the lamb aroma in this shop was so strong and fragrant, it smelled of barbecue everywhere.

This brought to mind her sister-in-law's roasted rabbit back in the village. Back then, their family was poor and there weren't many delicious seasonings available.

The sister-in-law cooked meat for them using herbs, and it tasted pretty good.

She ordered ten steamed buns, a roasted leg of lamb, and also a pot of milk tea. Northern border cuisine is almost all meat; there are a few vegetarian dishes, but they are all from Central Plains cuisine. I guess they were added specifically to cater to the tastes of people from the capital.

If it's not a signature dish, Fang Jinxiu wouldn't order vegetarian food.

The dishes came out relatively quickly, and all of their ordered dishes arrived soon after. Just smelling the aroma was already quite good.

When delicious food was presented, their spirits lifted considerably. The three of them enjoyed a hearty feast, savoring the experience of eating large chunks of meat with gusto. Yu Lian nodded in approval while chewing, her words barely audible.

The food from the northern border is really delicious, it's a bit like the barbecue my sister-in-law used to make.

"Next time, let's invite Big Brother, Second Brother, and Mom over for a meal together. Both Big Brother and Second Brother love meat; they'll definitely like this."

Yu Lian ate too much, becoming so carried away that she momentarily forgot herself and even brought up Zong Yu in front of Fang Jinxiu's face. After saying it, she realized her mistake for a while before the truth sealed her mouth shut.

She's not stirring up trouble where it doesn't exist, is she

Suddenly, the room fell into an eerie silence. Jade Lotus munched on her baozi, wondering if she should say something to break the tension. Just then, a commotion erupted downstairs, followed by the sounds of smashing objects and guests screaming.

The three people's faces changed instantly. Xiaoyue hurriedly got up and pulled open the door to check the situation. After a while, she turned around and said.

"Miss Yulian, young mistress, it seems someone is causing a disturbance downstairs."

Jade Lotus's face was full of surprise.

"Huh Isn't this under the Emperor's feet How come the security is just as chaotic as in our town Even with the Emperor watching, they dare to cause trouble!"

Fāng Jǐnxù frowned, got up and walked to Xiǎoyuè's side, looking down.

A group of burly men, each with a stick in their hands, came in through the door. Leading them was a middle-aged man in a robe, with a beard and a shrewd expression on his face.

Most of the customers on the first floor had run away, with only a few brave ones standing nearby watching the commotion. The tables and chairs closest to the group were completely smashed.

Fang Jinshi's gaze fell on the food scattered on the ground, and she couldn't help but frown, feeling a little sorry for the wasted meat.r face expressionless as she bowed to Fu Ming and Fu Shangyuan."The civilian woman remembered she had some more things to take care of, so she left ahead.""My Lord Wang, Seventh Prince, please enjoy y...
