Chapter 43: A Book of Benefits
"Zhongcheng Realm can be regarded as squeezing into the ranks of the masters of the rivers and lakes, and the white treasure can also be said to be a treasure that contains the internal strength of an internal cultivation master?" Liu Qing sneered, "There is really no way to compare with the Imperial City here. ”
When did a poor man in coarse cloth rob her of her scenery, and she, as the lord of the county, became a spectator on the sidelines?
The embarrassment that Bi Shanggang had just receded came back to his face, and he couldn't say a word.
The reason why he was able to get acquainted with Xing'an Hou was introduced by his junior brother in the Imperial City, who was a few years younger than him, but he was already a middle-level refiner and could refine Huang Bao, and his qualifications were obviously mediocre, which made him feel ashamed in his heart.
"May I ask Master Bi, I want to find three high-grade medicinal materials, I don't know if Bi Haige has them?" Xiang Yue thanked him for his explanation, and immediately relieved him.
On the first floor, in addition to the treasures, there are all kinds of jade jewelry, as a woman, she is born with little resistance to these jewelry, but she has not forgotten the purpose of this trip.
"The second floor is full of medicinal herbs and pills, Xiang girl can go up and have a look. Bi Shang's good impression of her has increased greatly, if it weren't for Xing'an Hou by his side, he would definitely welcome her upstairs in person.
"Let's go, go up and have a look. ”
Liu Yibin was not a little impatient, the attached treasures and various jade jewelry on the first floor could indeed not be compared with the imperial city, the grade and fineness were too poor, and he didn't think that there would be an eye-catching pill on the second floor, but he was very interested in Xiang Yue.
At this moment, the light in the pavilion is bright, it turns out that the sky is close to evening, and it is time to hold the lamp, but Bihai Pavilion is not an oil lamp, but a night pearl the size of a thumbnail, the gentle light and the treasures on the first floor reflect brightly, bright and a little strange, the visual effect is very beautiful.
The first time I saw the moon illuminated by the night pearl, I was secretly speechless, this grade ...... Tianxing Restaurant can't compare.
"I'm not going up, so I'll ask. ”
It is estimated that all the ordered goods should be delivered to the store, and she has to go back to work, not to mention that she only has copper coins on hand, and she will definitely not be able to buy high-grade medicinal materials.
Bi Shang immediately waved his arm and beckoned a service staff: "This girl Xiang is our guest of Bi Haige, whatever medicinal materials she needs, you can find them for her, and the price will be calculated according to the minimum standard." ”
"Yes, Master Bi. The waiter asked Xiang Yue respectfully, "May I ask what herbs does Miss Xiang need?"
"Wrong fire bells, plum flowers, star dras. Xiang Yue reported the three main medicines for refining Dahua Dan.
The waiter looked terrified and said, "I'm really sorry, these three are all top-grade medicinal materials, we only have one wrong fire bell here, I don't know if Miss Xiang wants it now?"
"How many silver taels?"
I heard that there was only the wrong fire bell, Xiang Yue was slightly disappointed, Bi Haige is the best in the entire county, there is no here, where can I find it, is it so difficult to find high-grade medicinal materials?
"The original price of the wrong fire bell is thirty-five silver taels, and you only need to pay twenty-eight silver taels to the girl. ”
When she heard that she wanted twenty-eight silver taels, Xiang Yue almost screamed out in a lost voice, sure enough, the medicinal materials were extremely expensive, and she couldn't afford them now.
"Miss Xiang didn't bring silver taels, Ben Hou has this. Liu Yibin was about to reach out and take the silver taels.
Xiang Yue hurriedly stopped, this kind of favor is still better not to owe: "Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, I need three kinds of medicinal materials, just one is useless, so I don't want it." ”
"It's better to go to the Imperial City with Ben Hou, high-grade medicinal materials are still relatively common in the Imperial City, even if you don't, Ben Hou will definitely find them for you." Liu Yibin smiled.
Liu Qing lightly bumped into Jiang at this time, with a playful face, undoubtedly saying that the position of Mrs. Hou that you peeped at seems to be about to fall on this girl.
Jiang's brow furrowed inadvertently.
"Imperial City, I'll go there in a while, so I won't bother Master Hou. ”
It is certain to go to the imperial city, Xiang Yue wants to go to the princess's mansion, find Princess Mingyu, ask about her life experience, and investigate who played witchcraft on her when she was born, killing her mother, which indirectly caused the master to pay for it with his life.
It's just that before going to the Imperial City, she must stabilize the Tianxing Gate, the Tianxing Gate is the master's hard work, and must not fall into the hands of the wicked, she feels that she can't repay the master's kindness, and she can only use her heart on the Tianxing Gate to comfort the master's spirit in the sky.
"Master Hou, Master Bi, I have to say goodbye in advance. ”
"Miss Xiang, I don't know where you live?" Liu Yibin hurriedly asked when he saw her say to leave.
"I work in the Tianxing Restaurant in the northwest of the city, if you don't dislike it, please come to the store to eat. ”
After speaking, Xiang Yue's figure had already run out of Bihai Pavilion, but she sneaked out and was discovered by Yinpo, and she was inevitably killed.
Bi Shang was stunned on the spot, and when she had some extraordinary background, she didn't expect that she was working in a small shop in the slum in the northwest of the city.
After dinner, Xiang Yue leisurely made seasonings, at this time the store was still a little business, and she didn't want Jia Chunhu to do it.
The spices, Chinese medicine, and various materials have been boiled, and five large buckets of spices have been made, and they have been busy until nearly midnight, and the store is generally closed at the time of the day.
Although Yinpo and the others didn't show her a good face, they still got started, and there were many people who did things quickly, and all sixty washed ducks were soaked in the seasoning.
The day was a normal one, and the people in the city didn't seem to be aware of the murder in the store last night.
If something happens to such a small store in a big county, no one will pay attention to it. What's more, in this troubled world, a few people have disappeared, and it is not unprecedented.
Some of the guests who often come to patronize are good about the replacement of the girls in the hall, because Jia Chunling and the others are young and have a bit of appearance, obviously this is Zi Youlan's intention to choose these young women.
The next day, Xiang Yue got up early in the morning and lit a fire in a rectangular stove, but he didn't light the fire several times, and his face was black and gray, and he coughed with tears and snot.
Yin Po and the others passed by several times, and they all showed a look of ridicule and schadenfreude, and no one went over to help.
Xiang Yue didn't bother to pay attention to them, sister, I used to use a gas stove, as long as I twisted the switch, the fire would come by itself, how could I be so backward like you.
Later, she could only go to the stove room, borrow a fire, ignite the firewood, and use the internal force in the palm of her hand to move the burning wood over, and the stove can finally be used.
Take out the five ducks soaked in the seasoning, insert small iron hooks, hang them on the iron bars that have been placed on the stove, and start baking.
Under the roasting of the fire, the skin of the duck began to slowly change color, the duck fat dripped into the fire, and the flames sparked in the sound of "snort", and the fire increased, almost burning to the duck, so quickly adjust the height.
After several adjustments, it was adjusted to the best position.
As the skin slowly changed color, Xiang Yue turned the small iron hook in time, the surface color of the duck gradually darkened, and the aroma of meat gradually floated out, the more and more it floated out, the more it floated stronger, the more fragrant it became, Yinpo and others came to the backyard to see, and even the people nearby smelled it, and they smelled it and looked for it.
When the skin became golden brown, Xiang Yue knew that the time had come, so he took out all five ducks, cut a duck with a knife and tried it, and sure enough, the skin was crispy and the meat was tender, and it was too delicious.
Seeing that Yinpo and the others looked greedy and suspicious, she generously gave the duck to them to eat together.
"Delicious!"
"Ah, Xiang Yue, your skills are really good, it's the first time I've eaten such a delicious duck. Jia Chunhu, Ye Xiaoling, Lu Huilian and Hong Yin didn't feel hot after taking a bite, and they couldn't stop praising them repeatedly.
Although Yinpo almost swallowed her fingers as duck meat, she looked like she was still unsatisfied, but her face was gloomy and terrible, such a delicious duck would definitely be able to attract business, so three days later, wouldn't she listen to the call of a little girl?
Naturally, once the "gluttonous duck" was sold, it was sold out.
