Chapter 656
"The roast lamb is here." Just as he was talking, the man yelled, and a roast lamb was placed on a large tray.Many people have never smelled the aroma emitted from the roasted lamb. This smell is what Zongxin called cumin.

Zong Xin's face darkened, and then he said, "Didn't you say it was roasted now? How could it be so fast? We just said a few words and came up. When was this lamb roasted?"

"To be honest with this guest officer, it's not freshly roasted, but it's definitely freshly roasted." The waiter pointed to the five people from the Western Regions next to him and said: "Those guest officers ordered roast whole lamb first, but their people If it’s not complete, don’t rush to eat it, so I will give you their roasted whole lamb first. If you guys are not satisfied, you can return this lamb, and we will wait a while while we are roasting.”

"Since it was given by someone else, you're welcome. I'll try it first." It can be seen from the appearance that this is a sheep, and there are no broken marks on the body, so there is no stitching, it is mutton.Now that they know that it is mutton and not human flesh, the only remaining question is whether they have drugged the mutton.

Both Zong Xin and Yao Yao are invulnerable to all poisons, and they can test poisons.So Zong Xin moved his chopsticks first, and cut a few pieces of roast meat from different parts of the sheep to eat. There were fat and thin, and the taste was so good that Zong Xin almost couldn't stop talking.

But Zong Xin was still very rational. He waved his hands to the table of Western Region guests not far away, and then whispered: "Eat it, I have tried it, it is non-toxic."

Since it was non-toxic, everyone used chopsticks and knives.It is hot and hot, and the taste is peppery and numbing. The most valuable thing is the cumin fragrance inside. Many people have tasted such a fragrant taste for the first time.Mutton can be fat or thin. As Zong Xin said, the kind of fat that is roasted and tender on the outside is the most delicious. One bite, the fat will almost burst in the mouth, plus the unique fresh fragrance of mutton , even if it is very hot, he is reluctant to let go.

The mutton roasted with cumin has no smell, only fresh fragrance.This is a smell that I have never tasted before. Before this, except for the mutton soup, no matter how I made it, I felt that the mutton had a fishy smell, and it was not easy to completely remove it.Because it is roasted lamb, it is necessary to put a lot of chili and pepper to completely cover up the smell, but this roasted lamb does not, only a little chili can completely release the flavor of the lamb, cumin is a very magical spices.

At this time, they all knew why Zong Xin refused to leave even though he knew it was a black shop. It turned out that it was because the roasted whole lamb tasted so good.However, the other dishes here are relatively mediocre, and the steamed buns are not delicious, so everyone is staring at this sheep.

Soon, only the bones of a sheep were left, but the people at the table were still unsatisfied and not full.A roasted sheep only weighs more than ten kilograms of meat. Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin can destroy the entire sheep, let alone four foodies like one, two, three and four.

Zong Xin took a sip of the wine brought by the buddy, then turned to look at him very depressed.The guys have been preparing it for a long time, because judging by the appearance of their group, a roasted whole lamb can't meet their needs.

"Another one?"

Zong Xin nodded and said, "Listen to you."

"Do you want more wine?" The waiter saw that they had almost finished drinking wine, so he probably needed something else.

Zong Dao: "Let me have a few jars of wine. Except for wine and mutton, the taste of everything here is not very good. I just didn't expect that the wine here is quite similar to the Central Plains."

"Of course, we are also from the Central Plains, and we have our own wine cellar in the back. If you go further west, there will be no such wine. People in the Western Regions are used to drinking wine made from grapes. I don't like that taste."

"Stop talking nonsense and go roast the sheep."

The waiter said depressedly: "It's already roasted, it's the one just now. The guests from the Western Regions over there saw that you were quite edible, so I gave you the second roast lamb. The people of the Western Regions are warm and hospitable, and we are used to it."

Zong Xin said awkwardly: "Dude, let me ask by the way, was there a big caravan passing by here before?"

"Yes, yes, are you chasing that caravan to the west?" The man was surprised: "The caravan said they were going to take the Silk Road again. At first I thought they were crazy. It turned out that this group of people really To go to the Silk Road, I originally thought that the Silk Road had been broken, but who is so capable and gathered so many merchants to go together.”

Zong Xin nodded and said: "My health is not good. I fell ill in Dunhuang and recuperated for more than half a month. Now the caravan has traveled far, and we are catching up. This is a way to make a fortune. Who doesn't want to sell cheap porcelain from the Central Plains at a high price? For people from the Western Regions?"

"Oh~ yes yes yes." The man admired.

Zong said: "Then go and prepare quickly, I'll be polite in the past."

The man turned around to prepare the wine and roasted sheep, while Zong Xin brought a jar of wine to the table where the group of people from the Western Regions were.Although this group of people ordered something, they didn't eat it.There are some dry food on the table, and some brought their own drinks. It seems that they also know that there is a problem with this store.

Zong Xin cupped his hands and gestured: "My surname is Guo, and my name is Xin. The two sheep have thanked the guests just now, and I will do it first as a respect."

After speaking, Zong Xin raised the wine jar and drank it down, and finally put the wine jar upside down on his head, expressing that he really did it.In fact, there was not much left in Zong Xin's wine jar, and it was gone after two mouthfuls, just for show.

A white-faced and beardless old man cupped his hands and said: "You're welcome, we are small, so we can't eat so much. But a whole sheep must be slaughtered before it can be roasted, so don't move until all the people arrive."

"Are you waiting for someone?" Zong Xin took a closer look at the five people from the Western Regions. The person talking to him should be his master, and the little girl from the Western Regions beside him should be his daughter or granddaughter. The two are very close.There were three strong men beside him, each of them carrying a machete and with bulging muscles all over their bodies. They looked like they were practicing martial arts.

The old man's accent sounded awkward, very similar to a priest.This should be because I speak other languages ​​all the year round, and occasionally speak Chinese, so the accent is strange.

Judging from the situation of this group of people, they should have business to do, and they kept saying that they were not all there, so Zong Xin thought that the old man was waiting for someone.

"Yes, I'm waiting for a friend." The old man said: "Young man, there is a saying among you that the lotus that comes out of the water are all bones and skeletons. When you go out, you should be careful. The food is delicious, you can order it when you get it, and the road will come again." It's hard to go, don't delay."

After hearing this, Zong Xin understood that the old man was implying that the mutton was delicious, but it might have been poisoned inside, so he couldn't eat more, and don't be fooled by the appearance. In fact, there were knife marks under the tablecloth.And also pointed out that this inn is a black shop, although it is difficult to walk at night, but don't delay the trip.

Although I don't see anything great about this old man, it can be seen from this that he is an old man, and he is quite enthusiastic. He just doesn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he gives the roasted sheep to himself.It can only be said that this is useless hypocrisy. If the mutton is really poisonous, it will be useless even if he reminds it. Everyone is poisoned now, and eating less will be a dead end.

Zong Xin could tell that the old man didn't want to cause trouble, otherwise he could have put the first roast lamb on his table and they didn't have to eat it.Then remind others not to eat indiscriminately, this is absolutely safe.

An old Jiang Hu who doesn't want to cause trouble, brings a little girl and three strong men waiting for someone in a dark shop?What kind of business is this?
Zong Xin cupped his hands and said, "Thank you senior for reminding me, the roast mutton is here again, please stay with me, take care."

Zong Xin didn't want to say anything more to this group of people, if he really gave up the mutton out of kindness, of course he should be more polite.If he just suspected that there was something wrong with the mutton, then there was no need to be too polite. Anyway, he didn't like talking to the old man, especially because his accent sounded awkward.

Zong Xin immediately returned to the table, and used a small knife to cut several pieces of meat from different parts of the sheep to taste first.After eating a few pieces, Zong Xin's expression changed a little, and then he winked and told the others that there was something wrong with the mutton. As expected, the first sheep was used to paralyze the enemy, and they drugged the second roasted sheep.

Zongxin said softly: "Yaoyao, I can only taste that there is something wrong, but I don't know what kind of medicine it is. Can you taste it carefully?"

Zongxin picked up a small piece of mutton with his chopsticks and fed it to Yaoyao. For Yaoyao to eat such a sweet moment, even if it was poison, he had to eat it... Of course, what he ate this time was originally poison.

Yaoyao tasted it carefully and said: "Menghan medicine is a very common variety. With this dosage, four or five men will fall down, but...for people with a slightly higher internal strength, this kind of common medicine The perspiration medicine is useless at all, I think that except for Ning An, other people will not feel sleepy even if they eat all the medicine powder on the whole sheep."

"Hmph~ Is my skill so low? At my age, is it possible that my little brother's skill is higher than mine?" Ning An was a little unhappy, because although Yaoyao is powerful, she also insulted her long-term efforts too much. Alright.

Yaoyao looked at Ning An in amazement and said: "Are you...do you want to be shameless? Don't say it's you, you ask the first, second, third, and fourth, if the combined skill of the four of them is as high as the world. Khitan people Respecting martial arts, if Tian Ya is not stronger than them, why should everyone call you young master with a smile all day long?"

Ning An thought about it carefully, and it was true that the Youyun Eighteen Riders had never been polite to anyone except Zong Xin and Tian Ya.In the past, Ning An always thought that Tian Ya was Zong Xin's apprentice, so You Yun Shibaqi was very polite to him.But thinking about it now, Youyun Shibaqi has never been so polite to Yaoyao.So Youyun Eighteen Riders believed that Tianya was their young master. As for the reason... Maybe Tianya's martial arts is really high.

Dugu Xingyue lightly smiled and said: "Ning An, you can think that way. After all, he is Xianggong's apprentice. After he becomes a teacher, there are not many people in the world who can defeat him. You have not practiced martial arts for as long as Tianya, and Tianya is the best time to practice martial arts, and it is normal for him to have a high level of skill. Besides, how long have you been with your husband? After drinking the unicorn blood, your skill has improved a lot, hasn't it? You only have this chance once, and Tianya will follow After so many years, Xianggong, he has more opportunities."
