Chapter 989: Chapter 989 Familiar Taste
"Feng Xiyue was inconsequential to Qin Yi, but as soon as the leader of the mysterious organization was mentioned, Qin Yi’s mind was immediately captivated."
"The mysterious organization seemed to be deeply hidden, yet they appeared to be omnipresent. To say they were superficial, for many years, Qin Yi had exhausted his brain cells over this group, but he never managed to find anything substantial."
"When Lord Feng chose the wrong side, it nearly led to the annihilation of the entire Feng Family. Only Feng Jiu and Feng Xiyue managed to escape, later controlled by the people from the mysterious organization, and by some stroke of fate came to our side and were sheltered by you and me. Is there a possibility that there’s a contingency plan at play here?"
As he turned to serious matters, Qin Yi’s face lost its playful expression.
After pondering for a moment, Su Pan’er shook her head, "It’s not something that can be explained with a simple explanation. Weren’t you planning to arrange for someone to investigate the old case of the Feng Family? It’s perfect, you can also secretly inquire about the sequence of events to see what role the mysterious organization played..."
Qin Yi nodded silently, slipping into deep thought.
If this mysterious organization posed no threat to him, it would be fine, but if it threatened the land and kingdom...
At that thought, a fierce glint flashed through his eyes!
The next day.
Before dawn, the city gates within the inner city of Shengjing slowly opened amidst a chorus of shouting.
As soon as the gates opened, people streamed into the city like a flood, swarming from the gate towards the streets and alleys.
Even in the early morning of midsummer, the air carried a dry heat that offered little relief from the warmth.
Su Pan’er was mixed in the midst of the crowd, tightly holding hands with Qin Yi as they moved with the flow, letting it take them to an unknown destination.
When they finally broke free from the flow, they appeared beside a bridge.
Behind them, officials like Eunuch An and Jiu Lan were also squeezed and struggling, wiping sweat from their bodies with handkerchiefs. Especially Eunuch An, who was panting, looked as though he would faint at any moment.
Su Pan’er seemed to be in high spirits, surveying the surroundings.
"This is by the Bian River Corner, right? If we go past here and turn two streets, isn’t that the Qin’s Mansion we used to go to? How did we end up here again!"
She might not be familiar with other parts of Shengjing, but she certainly knew Qin’s Mansion, which is now the Qin Family’s Mansion, very well.
"We’ve indeed come here."
Qin Yi pointed towards another direction, "Isn’t that the place we often frequented? I remember there’s a snack shop not far ahead, why don’t we go have a look?"
"That sounds good!"
Su Pan’er had no objection, and they cheerfully walked on together.
Passing through the quaint bridgehead, stepping on the stone steps, with the calls of the vendors in their ears, Su Pan’er felt a special sense of intimacy.
Although she had only been entering the palace for a month, it felt as if she had been away from the marketplace for a very long time.
The snack shop was still the same, quietly situated at the street corner. It was surrounded by a continuous stream of people, and a few horses were tethered to the trough in front of the shop, leisurely drinking from the water. Further ahead, two shop assistants were welcoming customers.
Seeing Su Pan’er and her companion glance at the snack shop, they hurriedly bowed and beckoned them over.
"Are the two honored guests here for breakfast? Our shop may be small, but it’s a genuine century-old brand. Guests can ask around; our shop prides itself on honesty and integrity, authentic and fairly priced. Please rest assured and enjoy your meal, we guarantee you’ll leave satisfied..."
The server babbled on and on with that familiar intonation, prompting a knowing smile from Su Pan’er!
"Server, we’ll have an elegant room."
"Right away! This way upstairs, esteemed guests!"
The server flung the cloth from his shoulder and led Su Pan’er’s party upstairs cheerfully.
These servers had an eye for detail. Noticing that though Qin Yi and his companion were dressed simply, they each were followed by attendants, moving with a trained grace uncommon in ordinary folk. Immediately, he showed them to a private room with the best light, placed by a window with a fine view.
"Take a look! This is our establishment’s ’Heavenly Room’. Are you pleased with it?"
Surveying the room, Su Pan’er noted the bright and clean windows, along with the simple yet elegant tables and chairs, and nodded slightly toward Qin Yi.
Qin Yi shifted his gaze from Su Pan’er and glanced over at Eunuch An.
Eunuch An stepped forward, drew a silver ingot from his robe, and lowered his voice deliberately, "We’ll take this room! Be quick and bring us the best food and drink, two of each kind. This silver is payment in advance for the meals. Any extra can be your tip. Make sure to prepare it with care, understand?"
Seeing the size and quality of the silver ingot, it was apparent it was genuine Snowflake Official Silver, which made the server’s eyes crinkle into a smile.
He promptly thumped his chest assuringly, "Rest assured, sir! I’ll make sure only the best is served to you."
After he said this, he left the room beaming.
As soon as the server was gone, Su Pan’er chuckled, "I don’t recognize this server, nor any of the others bustling about the place. Time truly does age people!"
"It doesn’t matter whether the servers have changed or not. What’s crucial is tasting the breakfast and seeing if the cook has changed," Qin Yi remarked.
Su Pan’er nodded in agreement.
It wasn’t long before the server brought up the breakfast. The table was laden with a full assortment of morning dishes.
Ah!
Unexpectedly, there were gold and silver strands rolls?
At the sight of gold and silver strands rolls nestled in the little bamboo steamers laid out by Jiu Lan, Su Pan’er found herself drifting into memory, her eyes narrowing involuntarily.
Jiu Lan, everobservant, picked one of each roll and placed them on a white jade plate before Su Pan’er.
Staring at the plate of gold and silver strands rolls, Su Pan’er hesitated to reach for her chopsticks, her mind wandering far away—she wondered how the Master and the Elders in that other world were doing now.
Qin Yi hadn’t had breakfast that morning and came in with an appetite, so he took a steamed dumpling and bit into it. Pleased with the taste, he ate another. Noticing Su Pan’er’s absence of movement, he hastily called out to her, "Pan’er, why aren’t you eating? These steamed dumplings are still as delicious as ever!" he exclaimed with sentiment.
"Really? I’ll give it a try."
Finally returning to the moment, Su Pan’er picked up her silver chopsticks, grabbed one of the golden-yellow rolls, and took a small bite.
Mmm, the texture was fine and tender, the flavor sweet and mellow, just as she remembered...
Perhaps it was the reminiscent look in her eyes that stirred Qin Yi’s own memories, as he too picked up a silver strand roll, "I... didn’t expect the breakfast here to still be this good. I still recall back in the day, if I left the court early, I would buy breakfast from this shop. Sometimes, Ye Han would join me..."
