Chapter 243: Crystal Elbow

The money shopkeeper praised the new dish of crystal elbow as unparalleled in the sky and on the earth, which is called a mouth spitting, not to mention, there are really several customers in line who were moved by what he said.

"And this crystal elbow, you only need two spirit crystals to eat, what are you still hesitating about, isn't it clear to everyone about the reputation of the Drunken Immortal Residence? ”

There are more customers who are excited to say this, although the food in the delicious shop is delicious, but the price is really expensive, compared to the price of the delicious shop, the two spirit crystals are really nothing, you can spend less money to eat the same delicious and effective food, why not?!

Moreover, the drunken immortal residence has been open for many years, and it is also a signature restaurant in Kyoto, so if you dare to say so, the dishes must not be much worse.

In addition, this line is so long, it is a question whether it can be lined up, so as soon as I thought about it, a person immediately walked into the Drunken Immortal Residence with the mentality of giving it a try.

The shopkeeper suddenly smiled and squinted, and commanded the shopkeeper on the side to greet customers, one and two, with someone taking the lead, a few people walked out of the team again and walked into the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence.

The shopkeeper also greeted him with a smile, what he said was the truth, Drunken Xianju did hire a three-star chef two days ago, but it was originally going to wait a few days for the emperor to enter the mausoleum, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, it would be grandly launched and hyped.

Now he was ahead of schedule, but he didn't feel a pity, he originally planned to rub the arrogance of the delicious shop with this, but yesterday after knowing that the shop actually had a ninth-order spirit beast, he gave up, and he knew that the other party had an eighth-order monk as a thug, and he was not afraid, because the shop offended Zhujiazhuang, but the ninth-order spirit beast, think about it, forget it, especially after the battle of Mouth Sweet, if it weren't for luck, the Drunken Immortal Residence would have been wiped out long ago.

He doesn't want to be able to win over the delicious shop, but he wants to be able to not be weaker than the delicious shop, this request is not too much??!

Soon, the news that 'Drunken Immortal Residence has hired a new three-star chef and launched a signature dish that only costs two spirit crystals, but can be comparable to the dishes of a delicious small shop' This news slowly spread from the tail of the team to the front of the team, and then into Qin Yudie's ears.

When Qin Yudie heard it, this news had already become unrecognizable after many people's mouths, and when it reached Qin Xiu's ears, it became 'Drunken Immortal Ju High-tech hired a three-star chef to fight with Boss Qin! ’

Qin Xiu heard the news from Qin Yudie's mouth, and then shrugged his shoulders, not paying attention to it at all.

"Boss Qin, why aren't you worried at all?" Qin Yudie asked curiously, in her heart she believed Boss Qin 100%, but she couldn't stop his curiosity.

"Why worry?" Qin Xiu said indifferently, the soldiers will block the water and flood the earth, if people are really more afraid than him, if they don't have this meaning, he won't come to the door because of a few rumors.

In the afternoon of the same day, when Qin Xiu was practicing his proficiency in dishes, at the gate of the city, the prime minister took the lead in leading hundreds of civil and military officials to welcome the four princes who returned to Beijing.

The Prime Minister's fanfare not only flattered the four princes, but also quietly changed the situation in Kyoto.

In the palace of the three princes, the three princes broke a teacup with a gloomy face, and the cold light in their eyes almost turned into substance.

"With the old thing, he was sincerely invited, he didn't even see the lonely side, and the fourth prince waited at the gate of the city with great fanfare before he returned to Beijing!" The voice of the third prince was full of anger that could not be hidden, and the chill on his body was a burst.

"Your Highness, in this way, the Prime Minister should be on the side of the Fourth Prince, our side is immediately weak, and we have not yet gotten rid of the suspicion of assassinating the Emperor, how can this be good?" Li Guang said with a bitter face, this is not good news for them.

"Suspicion, get rid of?" the third prince glanced at him coldly, "Stupid, it's not what we did, what do we need to get rid of?"

"But...... "We didn't do it, others don't believe it," Li Guang hesitated.

"Do you think Gonggong Chen is a fool? This is such an obvious frame-up drama, do you think he will believe it? Don't ask why he still spies on Gu if he doesn't believe it, it's just that he would rather kill by mistake than let go. ”

The third prince sneered, "Gonggong Chen, as the most loyal lackey of his father, will definitely blame himself for his father's mysterious death, blame himself for not properly escorting him, and will definitely do his best to find out the murderer behind him, no matter who it is, as long as there is a little suspicion, he will not let it go, since Gu is suspected, he will naturally not let go of Gu easily, the same, my good fourth brother is the same object of suspicion." ”

"Your Highness is wise, sure enough, everything is in the hands of Your Highness, and Your Highness is the best candidate for the throne. Li Guang said happily.

In this regard, the third prince smiled proudly.

And Li Guang saw that the third prince was in a good mood, and boldly said his guess: "If you want me to say, the fourth prince is the biggest suspect." ”

"What do you mean by that?" the Third Prince asked.

"Your Royal Highness, you see, the four princes inexplicably petitioned to go to the battlefield during the establishment of the crown prince, which can be said to be a voluntary abandonment of the crown prince in disguise, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like what the four princes would do. Li Guang said and looked at the three princes, and continued under the signal of the three princes, "Not long after the four princes left, the emperor had an accident, and as soon as the emperor had an accident, the four princes came back again, how to look at it, and during the time he went to southern Xinjiang, he may have attracted many fierce generals to work hard for him." ”

The more the third prince listened, the more ugly his face became, and he slapped a palm on the high table, made a palm print on the high table, and gritted his teeth and said, "What a fourth, it's really cunning." ”

"That's right, Your Highness, we should be prepared as soon as possible. Li Guang said solemnly.

"You're right, what do you think?" the third prince calmed down and asked.

"The subordinates feel that they can let Gonggong Chen focus his suspicious eyes on the four princes, no matter what, the suspicion of the four princes is greater than that of His Royal Highness......" Li Guang gushed his opinions.

The third prince nodded from time to time, and the two discussed it.

The two of them were in the main hall at this time, and without the two of them noticing, a white insect like a moth waved its wings and slowly flew out of the gate.

Today's weather is still very gloomy, with dark clouds rolling and a sense of depression that is about to come with a storm.

The light rain fell on the heavens and the earth, it was obviously July, and it should have been extremely hot, but at this time, it was like November, and people couldn't help but wear an extra piece of clothing.

All the people in Kyoto put on white linen clothes and spontaneously came to stand on both sides of the street of Taiyi Street, and even though it was raining, they waited silently with umbrellas.

Today is the day when the emperor enters the mausoleum, and when the time comes, the emperor's coffin will depart from the palace, pass by Taiyi Street, and move into the imperial mausoleum.

And they are standing here at this time, just to see off the emperor, to see the emperor off for the last time.

There are still many customers at the delicious shop, but unlike in the past, those who bought the pancakes did not leave immediately, but stayed in the shop, preferring to eat standing rather than stepping out of the door.

As soon as the end time of business arrived, Qin Xiu walked out of the kitchen, looking at the scene in the hall, a little curious, because the pancake fruit can be taken out, people who come to buy pancake fruit will choose to take it out, but now these people are actually eating in the small shop, and they don't walk out of the small store until they finish eating, which is a bit strange.

"Yo, Boss Qin, you're busy, do you want to go to Taiyi Street together?" Ai Ziyu chewed the three no-sticks in his mouth, saw Qin Xiu passing by, tugged at his sleeve and asked.

Qin Xiu suddenly realized, so it was, in the morning, Qin Yudie told him that today was the day of the emperor's burial, and asked her if she wanted to go with her, but he refused.

Hearing Ai Ziyu ask this question at this time, he immediately understood the behavior of these people, the emperor's burial is a very sad and serious matter, but the pancakes are so fragrant, and on such a solemn day, such a strong fragrance wafts out, which provokes the anger of the public in minutes and becomes the target of the public.

Tut-tut, sure enough, it is really worthy of the food I made, Qin Xiu thought happily, and rejected Ai Ziyu's proposal, he didn't plan to see off the emperor, compared to this, he had a very troublesome thing to solve recently.

After the customers in the store left, Qin Xiu asked Qin Yudie to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and let her leave, and when there was no one in the store, he went into the kitchen and began to practice knife work and carving.

Today his main purpose is to carver, but he is not in a hurry, and before that he has started to practice knife work.

The progress of the knife work is not slow, the proficiency has been practiced to 40 percent, don't look at only 40 percent, he has only practiced for more than a month, this level is already very good, after all, it is the boutique version of the knife work, not at all the basic version can be compared, just this 40 percent, so that his knife work is not inferior to those chefs who have practiced for more than ten years.

Qin Xiu shook the kitchen knife in his hand, as soon as the kitchen knife was held in his hand, the yuan force in his body stopped flowing, stagnated in place, and stood still, and the dantian was directly sealed, and not the slightest yuan force could flow out of it. At this time, he was completely an ordinary person without any yuan power.

Although he was a little unaccustomed, he was not at all surprised by this situation, and the kitchen knife turned in a circle in his hand, and in one hand, he held a long barrel-shaped wooden bar on the table in the other.

This is real wood, not ingredients that look like wood, and after returning from the Arabei, that is, after his knife proficiency reached 40 percent, his knife practice method is no longer to cut all kinds of ingredients into various shapes, but to cut wood!

These woods are black birch, roughly cylindrical, one meter long and ten centimeters in diameter, from the Kingsnake Mountains of the Ten Dead Lands, black birch is taken from the black birch tree, which is the hardest wood in the world, harder than steel, and is often regarded as a substitute for metal.

All Qin Xiu had to do was to cut the black birch into thin pieces of wood, a thousand per day, still without using Yuan Force.

Now the black birch used for practice is only taken from the first level of black birch, according to the system, there will be second level black birch, third grade black birch, and fourth grade in the future...... Until the ninth level, when he thought of the legendary ninth-level black birch, he felt that it was pitch black in front of him, and the prospect was bleak, and the ninth-level black birch, that was the existence of the legendary hardness that crushed all the trees!

It's okay, it's okay, isn't it just cutting wood!Qin Xiu took a deep breath, comforted himself silently, picked up the kitchen knife and began to cut wood.

His speed is unhurried, he does not deliberately catch up with time, but has a certain rhythm, his eyes are unblinking, staring closely at the moment when the knife falls and cuts into the wood, he must control the size of the wood chips, and only when the wood chips are cut into thin cicada wings can be considered successful.

For a moment, there was only the chopping sound of kitchen knives hitting wooden boards in the kitchen.

By the time Qin Xiu had cut all the wood into thin slices, more than two hours had quietly passed, and a hill of wood chips had been piled up on the side, most of these wood chips were as thin as cicada wings, but some of them were of different thicknesses and flaws.

Qin Xiu put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and the yuan force in his body began to flow again, and a yuan force ran out in the dantian, surging towards the soreness of his right hand, and after a while, the soreness of his right hand was eliminated.

"Next is the carver!" Qin Xiu shook his hand and said to himself, thinking of the carver, he had a headache, the double-flavored golden basket he carved flawlessly, but the system was not in place, and he was not qualified.

He sighed, and all the things on the table that were originally practicing knife work disappeared, including those wooden chips, and after a while, there were a bunch of golden melons and fruits on the table, and the whole yard was Qin Qin.

He rubbed his wrist, the wood used in the practice of knife work just now was very hard, he not only needed precise control but also strong strength, but the golden gourd used to practice carving was very tender and crisp, and a little force would appear notched, so he needed to control the strength.

Qin Xiu skillfully picked up a golden melon, picked up a knife, and began to carve very skillfully, his attitude was very serious, and the carving action was very skillful, and soon, a lifelike golden basket appeared in his hand.

This golden basket is exquisite, with smooth lines, without the slightest flaw, and it looks perfect, with no dead ends at 360 degrees.

But the system says there's one important thing missing.

Qin Xiu put the golden basket on the board and picked up a golden gourd to carve again, but it was still wrong.

He frowned and looked at the two golden baskets carefully, and muttered, "What is missing, does it mean that my work is not perfect enough?"
