    Chapter 1030: Do you want to eat coriander or not? When Mu San walked to the small shop, he found a man squatting under the wall opposite the door. He held his chin with both hands and squatted there, staring at the infuriating wind lamp in a daze.  Mu San was startled, especially when the man turned to look at him and showed two rows of white teeth in his grin, which made people feel even more frightened.  "Sir, would you like to have something to eat?" The man stood up and said with a smile.  When he stood up, Mu San saw that this man was actually very tall, at least a head taller than him, tall and thick, and wearing a once-white apron around his waist.  This man has a big frame and a square face. His face is extremely clean shaven, but his beard must be very heavy. The green layer cannot be hidden under the light at all.  ¡°You squatting here can scare people to death.¡± Mu San complained.  "You can't be scared to death" The honest-looking man grinned: "Only those who have ghosts in their hearts will be scared to death. There are no ghosts in the world. What scares people are the ghosts in their own hearts." This is true everywhere.  Mu San didn't bother to pay attention to it.  He knew that most of the owners of small shops with a cold business were talkative.  When I finally meet a customer, it's like opening a drawer, and all kinds of topics can be brought up.  ¡°What¡¯s there to eat in the store?¡± Mu San asked.  The boss made a gesture of invitation: "You also know that Chang'an City is in short supply of everything except pasta. The only thing that can be made now is hot noodles, but I once saved a lot of peanuts and used them in a unique way.  The method of preservation is not bad at all. I will cook you a bowl of hot noodles, sprinkle with some chopped coriander and green onion, and make you some old vinegar peanuts" "You actually have chopped green onion and coriander here?" Mu San?  asked in surprise.  "Shhh" The boss hurriedly shushed: "Please keep your voice down. If anyone hears the things I planted in my backyard, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep them. To tell you the truth, I once worked in a wealthy family's house.  , I stopped doing it later, and I took some rapeseed with me when I left, and it came in handy. Now if you take a handful of green onions outside, you might be able to kill someone."  Yes, but Mu San knows how precious vegetables are to people trapped in the city.  It is not that there is no place to grow vegetables in the city, but compared to the population of Chang'an City, getting vegetables is very precious.  A while ago, Gao Kaitai's men moved dozens of miles south, but the teams that sealed other city gates did not withdraw. Some people boldly went out of the city to find some vegetables or something, but after leaving the city, they found that the outside was cleaner than the city.  Gyeonggi-do is already riddled with holes.  "Your store is counting on green onion and coriander to attract customers, right?" After Mu San walked in, he looked around and found that this small store was extremely clean.  He ran his fingers across the table and found that there was no dust at all.  "No, no, no." The boss shook his head: "I keep those things for myself. People who come to my place to eat on weekdays are looking for the peanuts I saved. And my jealous peanuts are indeed  It¡¯s delicious.¡± Mu San smiled inwardly, thinking that no matter how delicious it is, it¡¯s still peanuts.  ¡°Then why did you mention to me that you planted onions and coriander?¡± Mu San asked.  "Because I know who you are." The boss still smiled honestly: "You are a member of the Black Flag Army Zhen Guo Gong who was sent to Chang'an City. What you represent now is Zhen Guo Gong. If you were like this before  I definitely don¡¯t dare to reveal my identity, but now you have become a hot celebrity. Seeing a big shot like you, I also want to curry favor with you.¡± This explanation is reasonable.  Mu San's appearance is no longer a secret in Chang'an City. He often visits the homes of various wealthy families.  Walking on the street, people are shouting in front of them and swarming behind them.  ¡°Let¡¯s do it quickly.¡± Mu San waved his hand.  The boss responded and turned around to go to the kitchen.  Mu San sat in a daze holding his chin. After a while, he suddenly remembered something. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the kitchen, feeling a little nervous.  Why didn't the boss grow something else, but only some seasonings like onions and coriander?  If it was to attract business, that would be fine, but he didn't give it to others to eat.  Who can't live without these seasonings?  ¡°Also Chang¡¯an City has been closed for a long time. Even if he has a secret method to ensure that those peanuts do not spoil, how much did he save in order to eat it now?  Where could he transport so many peanuts?  Mu San used to frequent small shops like this. Normally, the tables, chairs and benches in such small shops should be very greasy, but this?So clean.  Looking at the man busy in the kitchen, Mu San's heart became tighter and tighter.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Mu San felt panicked, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious this person became.  But he didn't think this person had any plot against him, because he chose this place. If he hadn't come here, he wouldn't have found such a strange person.  Not long after, the hot noodles came, and there were indeed a few chopped green onions floating on the noodles, as well as four or five coriander leaves.  There was also a plate of fried peanuts, with a vinegary aroma wafting out from it. It was obvious that vinegar had been poured on top.  This is the so-called old vinegar peanut. It is obviously very simple, but Mu San is really appetizing when he smells it.  "Not everyone likes to eat green onions and coriander." The boss sat down opposite Mu San and poured a cup of herbal tea to drink: "Especially coriander, some people can't bear the taste even to death. I used to serve  The owner of the big family likes this one, so he saved some seeds and asked his servants to plant them in the backyard. It looks green and beautiful. Coriander is something you must eat Can you eat pancakes without sprinkling some coriander?  Can you eat the hot pot sesame sauce without adding some coriander?" Mu San was wary, so he didn't eat it in a hurry.  This tall and thick-set man talked about some snacks in detail, and even explained how to make them in detail.  It seems like he really loves cooking.  It was then that Mu San realized that it was just an illusion, and he was scared to death.  A cook, especially a cook who likes hot pot and pancakes, naturally cannot do without seasonings like coriander and chopped green onion.  He had previously wondered why this person only grew these two things. Think about it, if a cook was asked to choose two things that he could grow, there would be quite a few of them.  Mu San took a bite of the hot noodles and paired them with two or three peanuts.  The fragrance is deep in my bones.  Once you take one bite, you won¡¯t be able to stop.  "The same goes for the owner of the wealthy family I served in the past. Perhaps because he was too old, he liked hot noodles the most, but he also liked fried peanuts and didn't like the cooked ones. I was thinking how to make him  He was able to eat both Later I discovered that some vinegar was immediately sprinkled on the fried peanuts. After a while, the peanuts became extra crispy and not as hard as the vinegar.  When it's hot, don't sprinkle too much." Mu San nodded and ate with big mouthfuls, sweating from the tip of his nose.  ¡°So you¡¯re here.¡± Someone spoke outside the door. Mu San turned around and saw that it was Luo Weiran.  When she saw him, the last remaining worry in Mu San¡¯s heart was gone.  Because Mu San knew very well that among the masters in Chang'an City, Luo Weiran was the strongest.  Of course, he didn't know if there was something secretly there.  Now that Luo Weiran is here, Mu San is not afraid even if the boss has malicious intentions.  "Master Luo" Mu San stood up, clasped his fists, and asked Luo Weiran to sit down.  "How did you find this place?" Mu San asked.  After Luo Weiran came in, the boss stood up and got out of the way, with a simple and honest smile on his face.  Luo Weiran glanced at him without paying attention and sat down opposite Mu San.  Seeing the sweat on Mu San's nose and smelling the aroma of hot noodles and fried peanuts, Luo Weiran also felt hungry.  "Bring me a bowl of noodles, and put more coriander in it. I like the taste." Luo Weiran turned around and said to the boss.  But the boss shook his head and said solemnly: "You can't have more, just put those." "Why?" Luo Weiran said: "Now this thing is indeed expensive, but I don't lack your money." "No" The boss is still there  He shook his head and said seriously: "It's useless to put too much. A few slices of coriander are enough for the fragrance. There's no point in putting more. It's not a matter of money or not, it's a matter of principle. Just give it to me.  For one thousand taels of silver, I won¡¯t put more noodles in. How much water to use, how much chopped green onion and coriander to add, and how much oil to add are all principles and cannot be touched.¡± Luo Weiran was startled and said to himself.  Now to the weirdos.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s really good!¡± Luo Weiran touched his belly and found that this meal was actually the sweetest he had eaten in these days.  I don't know if it's because I'm hungry, or because the boss has really made simple things perfect.  "There is news from outside the city." Luo Weiran said: "They couldn't find you, so they found me. Zhen Guogong's army has already set off, and Gao Kaitai's team has made way into the city. You can contact me tomorrow  Let those who are willing to submit to the Duke of Zhen Guo be allowed to do so.??Prepare.  In addition, I will accompany you to see Wei Mu tomorrow. People in the city are looking forward to a fight between me and him. If he is still undecided, I will have this fight to show the people in the city.  "Perhaps because being with the one you love can really change a person, Luo Weiran's temperament seems to have changed. Besides, his daughter is now in Fang Jie's team, so he naturally won't take it to heart. As long as the Black Flag Army advances.  After returning to Chang'an City, he can reunite with his daughter, but he hasn't figured out how. "That would be a great thing!"  ¡± This news, for Mu San, is like seeing the sunshine through the thick clouds. Whether it is the cautious life before or the current glory, the pressure is too much for him. Black Flag Army  As long as he enters Chang'an City, he feels that every day in the future will be sunny. "It's not all good things.  " Luo Weiran shook his head: "The news we received said that the army has been divided.  Meng Ge, the Great Khan of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, personally led a million troops into the pass. The troops were divided into two groups. Now the northern group has reached Hexi Road, and the southern group has probably reached Shanjiang Road.  Zhenguo Gong divided his troops to fight against the enemy. After entering Chang'an City, he might go on an expedition.  " Mu San was startled: "One million Mongolian yuan wolf riding?  !  Oh my god, why are you here again?  The last time the Meng Yuan people entered the customs, it was the fault of that bastard Li Yuanshan. This time, it was that bastard who lured the Meng Yuan people into the customs?  oh!  Yes, the northwest is now empty and undefended, and Brother Meng took advantage of it.  " "It's not" Luo Weiran sighed slightly: "The news said that it was a famous sect in the Central Plains that once introduced the Meng Yuan people to the pass. You are not a person in the world, so you may not know the name Yueyingtang.  The Duke of Zhen asked me to help explore the city to see if I could find out anything about Yueyingtang in the city.  The letter said that the people from Yueying Hall were hiding in the martial arts academy. I was going to find out if any of the professors from the academy were still left in Chang'an City.  " ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There was a crisp sound from the kitchen, as if something had fallen. We heard a curse immediately after: "Damn mouse!  Come steal my food again!  ¡± Luo Weiran and Mu San looked at each other, neither paying attention.
