Until he left the Shangque Mansion, Mu Fan's mood could not calm down. I thought that the market I found had been occupied by others, and goods such as lighters could be sold for up to 100 yuan. But I didn't expect that the price given by Shang Que was actually 10,000 yuan.

At this time, a series of data kept emerging in Mu Fan's mind, one fire machine is 10,000 yuan, ten fire engines are 100,000 yuan, and Lao Tzu has a hundred fire engines, isn't he a millionaire?

"What do you want?" Jiao Xiang, who was walking in front, turned his head to look at Mu Fan thoughtfully, and said: "The price given by the old merchant is not low, this time it should be regarded as spending money to buy a lesson, remember, the water of contraband is very deep, and it is not something that laymen like us can figure out." ”

In Jiao Xiang's mind, the lighter in Mu Fan's hand should have cost a lot of money, and he was depressed about the loss at this time. As the old saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, especially objects smuggled from other dynasties, which are basically unseen and have a high probability of being slaughtered.

"Well, I made a note of it. Mu Fan hurriedly nodded and followed Jiao Xiang back. However, Mu Fan was remembering the road along the way, and he would inevitably come to Shangque to ship in the future. However, Mu Fan didn't plan to tell Jiao Xiang about this matter, after all, this business involved illegality, so that he would know that Bacheng would stop him. And if the East Window incident happens, hiding Jiaoxiang is also a kind of protection for it.

If Mu Fan is afraid of breaking the law, then he must be afraid, but he is afraid that the head is in the world, not in the capital. Just kidding, with the teleportation map in hand, the average official wants to arrest him, which is simply a fool's dream.

Jiao Xiang took Mu Fan and did not return to his residence, but came directly to the taste building, and the steamed buns at noon today have not been prepared. The shopkeeper of the taste building was very happy to see Mu Fan coming, and greeted him very warmly, still wanting to win him over.

Mu Fan said a few perfunctory words, and came to the backyard with Jiao Xiang. After the master and apprentice put incense on Kong Mingxian's brand, they worked together and quickly steamed the steamed buns.

"Apprentice, didn't you say that there are two things to do this time?" Jiao Xiang wiped his hands, came to a gazebo and sat down, and asked, "What's the other thing?"

It was only at this time that Mu Fan remembered that his main task in coming to Shangqingfang this time was to learn the first vegetarian dish in the four dishes and one soup. The so-called four dishes and one soup are the most basic combinations in the world today, and they are also the standard for official meals. According to legend, it was created by Zhu Yuanzhang, the eldest brother, and as we all know, Lao Zhu is the emperor who punished corruption most severely in history.

According to the wild history, after Brother Zhu ascended to the throne, he encountered natural disasters and failed to harvest grain in various places. But the officials are very extravagant, eating big fish and meat every day, and drinking small wine and tea. Lao Zhu was very dissatisfied with this, so he took advantage of his mother-in-law's birthday to gather all the big guys.

It is said that at that time, Lao Zhu only ordered people to serve four side dishes and a clear soup, and preached the concept of saving food and refusing to waste. When the big guy saw it, the eldest mother-in-law was so diligent and thrifty on her birthday, and she didn't dare to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas after she went back.

After the research of many experts in later generations, it was found that the set meal of four dishes and one soup can fully provide the nutrients needed by the human body, and it is a very scientific dietary matching, so it has been continued.

The task given by the system should be two meat and two vegetables among the four dishes, and the soup also needs to be matched with meat and vegetables. If it was a newcomer before, Mu Fan would just find a green vegetable to learn. But now it's different, he has the big resource of the master by his side, and he has a way to make money, of course, he has to learn the best dishes. At least in terms of name and taste, it can't be too much worse than Jiao Xiang steamed buns, otherwise it will smash the signboard of his own Ding family's kitchen, if that's the case, it's better not to learn.

Thinking of this, Mu Fan said: "Master, another thing is actually simple, I want to learn a stir-fry." ”

"Learn to stir-fry?" Jiao Xiang nodded and asked, "With your understanding, this matter is simple. I don't know, what do you want to learn about stir-frying?"

"If you want to learn a vegetarian dish, it doesn't matter what kind of dish you have, but it must taste top-notch. Mu Fan replied, "There is one more point, it is best to learn it before midnight." "He has only been in the capital for twenty-four hours, and he cannot be delayed.

Jiao Xiang frowned and began to think, there were countless dishes he had eaten in his life, but he really had to think about the closest and top fried vegetarian dishes from here. After about a minute or two, Jiao Xiang's eyes lit up slightly, he stood up and waved his hand, "Follow me." ”

Mu Fan knew that Jiao Xiang already had the answer in his heart, and happily followed.

After the master and apprentice left the taste building, Jiao Xiang raised his hand and beckoned a carriage. This carriage is owned by the Taste Building, and is usually used to send those drunk customers home, and Jiao Xiang, as the chef of the Taste Building, also has the right to use it at will.

Taking Mu Fan into the car, Jiao said to the coachman: "Xihejian." ”

When the coachman heard this, he shook the reins, and the carriage went forward. This is Mu Fan's second time riding in a carriage, but this one is much more luxurious than the previous one. The car was spacious, with fine incense, soft cushions, and a small desk with a tea set in the middle. Although the carriage was moving, the carriage was so smooth that it didn't feel the slightest bump at all.

"Master, is Xihejian far away from us?" Mu Fan asked with some trepidation.

"Half an hour, there's the dish you want, and whether you can learn it before midnight depends on your own ability. Jiao Xiang took a sip of tea and closed his eyes, "Let's rest for a while, the coachman will call us when we arrive." ”

"Oh. Mu Fan answered, but did not rest, and sat in front of the window looking at the scenery outside. As the carriage made its way through several streets that were crowded with people, the speed began to increase. The houses on either side fell back quickly, and soon came to a small city gate. Not far after the carriage left the city gates, the surrounding scenery transformed into a country field, where plainly dressed peasants could be seen working in the fields, and children with pigtails playing and chasing butterflies. Above the grass hut not far away, there was curling smoke, and it was almost lunchtime.

After about an hour or so, the carriage stopped.

"Master Jiao, it's here. The coachman called softly.

Jiao Xiang next to him was already snoring like thunder, Mu Fan gently pushed his shoulder and said, "Master, we're here." ”

Jiao Xiang's body shook slightly, opened his sleepy eyes dimly, squinted his eyes and glanced out the window, wiped the saliva on the corner of his mouth and said, "Go, get out of the car." ”

As soon as Jiao Xiang's snoring stopped, Mu Fan faintly heard the cheerful sound of the stream. After lifting the curtain and stepping out of the car, Mu Fan found that there was indeed a small stream about ten meters wide in front of him, and a small wooden bridge that only allowed two people to pass side by side crossed it.

Next to the bridge, there is also a one-person-high wooden plaque with three big characters written on it, 'Xihejian'.
