052*American Chamber of Commerce*
Both girls often wear white clothes, which gives people a refreshing and clean feeling. The princess Bai Ruoxi smiled lightly, and she was always soft-spoken, whether it was to the emperor or the servants. The female officer Ah Shui is lively and active, loves to talk and laugh, and often gives some small gifts to the guards and servants.
It didn't take long for everyone in the palace to like them very much. The first step is to get the good feeling, and the next step is to find out the news you want to know.
The chef was standing at the back door of the palace, and the two men were carrying the pork to the big kitchen, and the man who delivered the meat trotted a few steps closely: "Chef, wait." ”
Chef looks back with question marks on his face?
"Chef, aren't you looking to open a *Appreciation Chamber of Commerce*? Let me tell you, the price of meat will definitely rise in a few days, so you should save more while it hasn't risen. Isn't there an ice cellar in this palace! It can be kept for a month! Look, I'll send you two portions tomorrow!" the guy who delivered the meat smiled with a smile on his face.
"Come on! You can do anything to increase the price of meat, the red flame (fire) drought, the price of meat rises, Yongcang (wood) Liu Qingche's son celebrates his birthday, the price of meat rises, and even Lingrui (Jin) has a new space bracelet, and the price of meat has risen. Hey, you go back and go up slowly!" the chef obviously didn't buy it, and turned around and left.
The guy followed two steps and grabbed the chef's arm: "Chef, listen to me, this time is different...... Really, what's new in the Central Plains, I'm not the first to tell you first~"
"Hey, it's not me who blows, just this bit of in the Central Plains, at least eight people come to tell me every day, and they all let me keep double copies. "There's still work in the kitchen!" the chef wants to leave.
The guy had a hippie smile: "Chef, chef, don't go~!"
"Okay, okay, I'll send two copies tomorrow. The chef waved his hand, not bothering to reply.
Neither the man nor the chef saw a little girl standing behind a tree next to him.
After lunch, the bouncing Ah Shui came to the big kitchen and sat down on a small bench: "Chef, when we were on a desert island, we were often exposed to rain and couldn't fire. Some people are greedy, so they peel and remove the bones of the raw fish, cut it into thin slices and marinate it with condiments to eat, but it is fresh!"
The chef opened his eyes: "Eat it raw, isn't that Ru Mao drinking blood? Besides, the fish is fishy, and it can't be delicious at all." ”
Ah Shui pursed his lips: "No, no, I don't believe I'll make something for you to taste?" I haven't eaten it with the princess for a long time, so I think about it tightly!"
Chef shook his head, "If you like it, you can do it yourself! ”
Jumping up to the chef with a grin: "Then can you help me kill the fish? I don't dare, I'm afraid." ”
Pick up a big fish alive, kill it in a few snaps, remove the skin and bones and clean it up. The chef raised his eyes and looked at Ah Shui, who was blindfolded by the frightened fish: "Don't be blinded, it's all cleaned up, come, take it." ”
"Okay, I'll give you a taste of my craft today. Ah Shui jumped up like a rabbit.
Pick up a knife, pick up the knife and drop the knife to "brush and brush" a few times, a pile of snow-white fish fillets as thin as cicada wings are piled on the board, drag a basin into it, twist up several spices and sprinkle them on it, and grab it with small hands.
I first twisted a piece and tasted "woo" delicious, and jumped up and down to the chef: "Chef, you try it." ”
"Don't eat, don't eat. ”
"Oh, Chef, you can taste it! It's delicious, a small slice is good. Ah Shui twisted it up and fed it to his mouth.
The chef had to open his mouth to continue, but it smelled quite fresh. Chew carefully "Wow" This tender and fresh fragrance is incomparable to any cooked food, and I really can't imagine that this fish still has this way to eat.
After eating a small piece of aftertaste, the chef took the initiative to ask: "Ah Shui, another slice." ”
The little hand covered the basin, and the small mouth pouted high: "Don't give it, who made you just say that this is Ru Mao drinking blood~~"
The chef's obsession is delicious, and once this appetite is caught, he can do anything. You look at it, and immediately softened: "Ah Shui, the chef is wrong, can you give me another piece!"
The pouting little face twisted to the other side, not looking at the chef. The chef circled around her for half a circle: "Ah Shui, the chef is really wrong, you let me eat a piece, are you teaching how to do it well?"
The pouting little face twisted to the other side, and the chef circled back: "Then you say, how do you punish the chef!"
The playful little girl rolled her eyes and looked at the roof, "Hmm~~~mm!!" and then grinned: "Then punish the chef to tell me an interesting story." ”
Chef Shunshun's pounding heart: "That's it! Okay, just say what you want to hear." ”
Ah Shui held the basin in front of him with both hands: "Come, chef, you eat first." ”
The chef picks up a slice, puts it in his mouth, closes his eyes and savors it.
Wash the fish several times with water to wash away the rustic smell and fishy smell, and then ...... the chef's "chirp" sound, Ah Shui spoke in detail about the knife work in a brisk tone.
The chef said, scooping up a fish...... When she finished, she was done. Pick up a piece and make it yourself, oops! It's so delicious, it's so satisfying.
Ah Shui rubbed a pair of small hands and looked at the chef expectantly. The taste buds were satisfied, the chef was very happy, and when he looked at Ah Shui again, he remembered it!
Chef smiled, "Say, what do you want to hear?"
Ah Shui smiled: "I want to listen, why does the queen mother love to chant and pray so much!"
Nodded with his hand, Chef: "You are asking the right person, most people really don't know." When the queen was young, she had an illness, and the abbot made a wish in the temple: if the divine beast Xuanwu could bless the eldest daughter to recover, let her come to chant and pray for blessings for three months every year...... The queen can go for six months every year, and she is a bodhisattva of Nagasawa (water) with a kind heart......"
"Wow, you know so much! Are the queen's brothers and sisters like this?" Ah Shui clapped his hands and praised the chef for knowing more, and asked a new question.
As if she had little knowledge, the chef said: "The queen is the eldest daughter, how can there be brothers and sisters! Only younger brothers and sisters, Shen Meng knows! It is the queen's younger brother." ”
"Shen Meng?" Ah Shui stared at his big round eyes, and said a long "Uh-huh~~~", and shook his head at the same time to indicate that he didn't know.
Think about this girl going to a desert island at the age of ten, and she didn't come back until she was fifteen. It's no wonder that she doesn't know anything, tell her about it!" thought Chef.
The Shen family has been in business for generations, and Shen Meng is the youngest son of the Shen family. When Shen Meng was very young, Master Shen discovered that he had a strong talent for connoisseurship.
For example, Shen Meng is one and a half years old, and he can see that the painting is good and the painting is not good. The little baby cried and brought a good picture. He stopped crying immediately, walked over crookedly, and kissed two mouthfuls with saliva.
The businessman pays the most attention to cultivation, and Master Shen also hopes that he can produce a master of cultivating immortals, so that he does not have to rely on others, and can take the lead by himself.
One wants something beautiful in his father's hands, and the other wants his son to cultivate well. The two sides want each other, and naturally they form a sale. When Shen Meng was four years old, he began to make this kind of deal with his father, and if you give me a quarter of an hour of beauty, I will cultivate for an hour. If you give me something I like, then I'll practice hard for a month.
When Shen Meng was seven or eight years old, he joined the Chamber of Commerce with Master Shen and fell in love with a sword. This sword is the heirloom of the master of Lingrui (Jin) Guoyi, and people just take it out to show off and not sell it.
After going back, Shen Meng became demented, didn't think about tea and dinner, and was full of thoughts about the sword. Master Shen loved his son, and went to buy it in person several times, and in the end, he spent almost half of his family money to buy this sword.
The caster master also said: "Cut, if it weren't for the sake of this sword and Ling Lang's fate, you would have given me Changze (water), and I wouldn't have sold it." ”
Master Shen worked so hard to get something that could not be cheapened Shen Meng, and after talking for several days, the father and son made a deal. Shen Meng had to rely on his own ability to pass the bottleneck before the age of eighteen before Master Shen could give him the sword.
Cultivating immortals also costs money, such as buying elixirs to strengthen the body, such as collecting spirit stones to set up array gains...... These are all necessary for cultivating immortals. Shen Meng is leading the servants to do business while cultivating diligently.
He is not a Xuanwu bloodline, and it is impossible to pass the bottleneck at the age of eighteen according to common sense, but Shen Meng did it for the sake of the Ice Sword. At that time, Shen Meng was already well-known in Changze (water).
Later, Shen Meng's eldest sister married into the royal family. Shen Meng's business is getting bigger and bigger, and his cultivation is getting higher and higher. Later, Shen Meng's brother-in-law became the emperor, and Shen Meng was also in charge of all the commerce of Changze (water.....
In another month, Shen Meng will hold a large-scale *Appreciation of the United States Chamber of Commerce* in our Changze (water), and the Central Plains will gather large and small caravans, which will definitely be very lively.
After the chef finished speaking, Ah Shui was still immersed in his story! After a long time, he came to his senses: "Wow, Shen Meng is so powerful, is he the most powerful person in the Central Plains!"
Chef shook his head affirmatively, "Of course not." ”
"Ah, who is more powerful than Shen Meng?" The innocent and cute question showed that Ah Shui was a little kid who didn't understand anything.
The chef incarnated as a know-it-all in the Central Plains: "Which aspect do you want to look at! More famous than Shen Meng, there are Princess Qilin of Xiangrui (earth) and Lingrui (golden)...... I don't know if I haven't fought for cultivation, but it is rumored that Liu Qingche of Yongcang (wood) is the first to cultivate to perfection, and there are ....... However, I haven't heard of anyone more powerful than Shen Meng in terms of appreciating beauty, and even the Bishui Niang under him has never been compared......"
Shen Meng's obsession is to love beauty, and obsession with this thing has always been very strange, and it is often impossible to become possible, all because of obsession.
Ah Shui really likes to listen to stories, and took the chef's hand and shook it: "Chef, chef, can you tell me their stories~~"
