第71章 尔虞我诈(1 / 2)

江鹤楼,位于西江郡临江镇的中部地带,倚江而建,掌柜亦是别出心裁,特地在楼边临江一面,围出一汪池塘,在其间栽上些许莲花,在夏日时分亭亭玉立、纷红绽放犹为令人瞩目,让人驻足欣赏的同时也可为酒楼招揽生意,然,此时乃是深秋,姜逸尘便无缘目睹那般盛景。

许是因为地理位置优越,或是因为掌柜的有心经营,江鹤楼虽非西江郡上最大的酒楼,却是西江郡上生意最好,也是菜色最为鲜美的酒楼。

诚如兰笙所言,江鹤楼上的菜味儿最为地道,然,他并未告知姜逸尘这酒楼中的花销可也不便宜,或许他便也是诚心地想敲一敲这稚嫩少年的竹杠。

此时的姜逸尘被门旁一个小乞丐伸出的手牢牢把住右腿,随而那小乞丐的身躯竟直接粘附在姜逸尘的腿上,令他一时无法动弹。

“这位公子,这位少侠,您可怜可怜我吧,我三天未曾吃饭了,肚中甚是饥饿,咕咕直响,要不给您听听。”小乞丐稍微松开姜逸尘的右腿眼巴巴地哀求道,见姜逸尘眉头一皱,便拉起衣襟,挺起肚子要让他听听胃里的嚎叫。

江鹤楼中人声鼎沸、热闹非凡,酒楼伙计亦是忙得不可开交,并无任何人前来将这拦挡着店里客人的乞丐撵走。

许是年纪相仿,又或许是姜逸尘见不得求上来的人间疾苦,踌躇片刻后,便应允了这小乞丐的请求,将之一同带入楼中。

四人一走到堂中,便有店小二从百忙之中抽出身来笑脸相迎。

“哟!兰大爷和舒大爷又来光顾我们江鹤楼呐。”店小二似是与兰笙和舒桐极为熟稔,热情地招呼着。

“欸,小二啊,可还有天字号独间?”兰笙道。

“有的,有的,四位爷来的正是时候,还剩有一处独间,且随我来。”小二视线绕过兰笙与舒桐,看向后头计算人数,见后方二人是一白衣少年和一褴褛乞丐也并未另眼相待。

跟着掌柜在这酒楼待久了,此处的小二早已通晓人不可貌相之理,为避免不必要的麻烦,穿着打扮再为不堪亦是一视同仁,更何况带路的可是经常来楼中光顾,出手阔绰的大爷,并未吃过一顿霸王餐,不管他们的钱财来自何方,反正就是有本事,信得过。

“那便快些招呼,也不必点菜了,后头这位姜少侠初至西江,店里有什么特色尽管上上来,好让他品赏品赏。我来带路,你抓紧去忙活吧。”兰笙一挥手招呼几人上楼,那气派颇有富商老板的模样。

“好咧!四位爷先请在天字七号房稍待,好酒好菜马上便为您奉上!”小二大声吆喝着,一甩布巾,便直朝后厨赶去报菜了。

这西江郡上最旺的酒楼自有它的能耐,不到一盏茶功夫,新鲜热腾的近二十道菜便已摆放至四人面前。

红烧大闸蟹、清蒸鲈鱼、酱爆鸡丁、葱香排骨……若非这硕大的圆桌已被摆放得满满当当,便是连姜逸尘也不会认为四个人吃这么多菜是否有些太过。毕竟自出岛后,他便也未曾享受过如此的美食盛宴,见着眼前一盘盘菜在那恣意挑逗着自己的味蕾,险些把持不住,直接不顾形象地狼吞虎咽。

兰笙与舒桐早已迫不及待地举起碗筷准备大战一场,然,在姜逸尘这大财主面前还是需要伪装出基本的客套,朝他微微一笑,眼神示意他应开口让大家享用了。

一旁的小乞丐倒是很守礼节,至少在姜逸尘还未表示前,并未触碰碗筷。

佛曰:能在大鱼大肉面前守住本心的方为上人。

显然,在这一标准下,此桌的四位客人都不简单。

“不知,这位兄弟该怎么称呼?”一听姜逸尘终于动口,兰笙和舒桐的筷子便已分别落入大鱼大肉之中,但当听得姜逸尘的话语后,却僵在空中。

“我……我?”小乞丐似也有一丝惊惶,没想到姜逸尘竟会如此不合时宜地向自己问话,缓了缓神后接道,“这位公子,我叫鸡蛋,鸡蛋的鸡,鸡蛋的蛋。”
