277 “Sexy Pampering” Chapter 276

【Emperor Chapter 28】Shaobing Xishi

Yuncheng, located at the far west of Daye, is a veritable border city.

This is the only way to the Central Plains. Cloud City serves as a barrier to block all kinds of wolves who try to set foot in the Central Plains.

Although the terrain is remote, Yuncheng is not in a depression.There are many merchants who travel here and there. They use this place as a transit point, selling all kinds of foreign gadgets, and transporting silk and porcelain from the Central Plains to distant foreign lands.Most of the people living in the city are young, old, women and children, and there are very few adult men. Most of them have been drafted and stationed in the border camp not far from here.

It was late autumn, the city was a little desolate, passers-by were in a hurry, and everyone had a solemn expression on their face.

Because everyone knows that the war has reignited.

A few days ago, Manzi carried out the first wave of offensive. Fortunately, the Tianqi Army led by Weiyuan Hou held the Tianqi Pass fifteen miles away. Now Manzi’s army has temporarily retreated, but it will definitely come back after a short rest.

The number of merchants in the city gradually decreased, and everyone fled to safer places without wanting to stay any longer.

Despite this, the people of Yuncheng, who were accustomed to the ordinary nature of war, still lived their daily lives very calmly.

This is their home, their children and husbands are on the front lines protecting their home, and they will never leave.

“We sell sesame cakes, they are delicious and crispy!”

Beside the main road where people come and go, there are many small alleys.There are various businesses in every alley. Although some are closed, many are still open for business.

In one of the inconspicuous alleys, there is a small facade no more than a few feet square.Clear and crisp sounds continued to be heard, and what followed was a rich aroma mixed with the smell of meat.

“It smells so good!”

“What is so fragrant? Well, there are sesame seeds and peppercorns. The aroma of this oil is strong but not greasy. It’s amazing!”

“It seems like someone is selling sesame cakes?”

As soon as several merchants entered the city, they were salivated by the scent.They traveled thousands of miles across the desert to reach Yuncheng. They almost vomited from eating the dry food along the way, and their mouths were tasteless. When they smelled such a fragrant smell, they couldn’t walk.

“Hey, you don’t know yet, those are Xishi’s sesame cakes, they are delicious!”

“Yes, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and the pepper is crispy. Ouch, if you take one bite, your tongue will be bitten off!”

“And the boss lady is pretty!”

When several merchants heard that the locals were so complimentary, they looked at each other, clutched their growling stomachs, and hurried to the alley.

And when they waited in line for a long time to burn the incense sticks and finally ate the hot sesame cakes, they couldn’t help but sigh, it was indeed well-deserved!

The cake is crispy but not greasy, and seems to have thousands of layers when you bite it. The beef and minced celery are perfectly blended. When you bite it, the smooth and tender meat mixed with the puff pastry bursts out in your mouth. The peppercorns kneaded into the meat make people feel the spiciness and peppery aroma from the lips to the root of the tongue, which makes people hooked.

“I’m sorry everyone, today’s sesame cakes are sold out, please come early tomorrow.”

After selling the last piece of sesame seed cake in the box, a young woman wearing burlap clothes and a headscarf said apologetically to the people who were still queuing outside.

Although there was no wax applied, her facial features were enough to support an ordinary dress, but her face was a little sallow, which detracted from her original appearance.

“Why is it gone again?”

“That’s right, I’ve been waiting in line for most of the day!”

Some guests who had been waiting for a long time were somewhat dissatisfied and started to cheer loudly.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” the woman smiled good-naturedly, her eyebrows brightening, “There are also some steamed buns and shaomai here, which are also delicious. You can try them. But the ingredients for the steamed buns are gone. I really can’t make them. I’m sorry.”

When some people saw what the landlady said, they didn’t want to be embarrassed. They bought some other things and left. When they went back and tasted them, they found they were quite delicious.

There were a few remaining people who didn’t want to leave and continued to make noise.In fact, they are all hooligans. They heard about this newly opened Shaobing Xishi store in the past few days and came all the way from the east of the city to enjoy the autumn breeze.

Those who didn’t want to cause trouble walked away. In front of the small facade, only a few grown men and a woman were left confronting each other.

The gangsters looked at each other and walked towards the woman with evil smiles.

“Honey boss, my brothers have been hungry for a long time. We can’t eat sesame cakes today, so we don’t plan to leave!”

“Oh, really?”

The woman didn’t panic.

“Then there’s no need to leave.”

She bent down slightly and took out something from under the desk.

At the same time, outside Yuncheng.

“Captain Lieutenant, I heard from the brother next door that a new sesame seed cake shop has opened in this city. It’s delicious. Let’s finally go for a walk in the city and try it!” A young man in black and short clothes said to the man standing aside.

“That’s right, I almost vomited after eating a big pot of rice every day in the camp!” Another young man also agreed.

“We are here to take turns on duty, not to eat, drink and have fun.” The man who was obviously the leader said coldly. Under the sun, a mask with a green face and fangs made all passersby look at him.
