After picking some Qianyou grass, Liu Qishou and Yun Qian wandered around the valley for a while, collecting dozens of herbs. Liu Qishou seems to have a book of medicine in his stomach, and he can say a lot of famous things about every kind of flowers and plants, Yun Qian has a big head when he listens to it, but he also has to admire. This Liu Qi's hands are serious, and he looks quite knowledgeable when he talks.

While talking and laughing, the two had already crossed most of the valley. Liu Qishou became a little silent, and his face seemed to tense. Yun Qian only said that he was a little tired, and he was happy to be quiet at the moment.

Half an hour later, a dazzling red appeared in the mist ahead. That's it, a patch of Manju Sawa. It also has a name, the flower of the other side, the legendary demon flower that blooms by the Yellow Spring.

Liu Qishou stopped, looking at the red-glow-like flower field from afar, thoughtfully.

"Let's go, go back." Liu Qishou said lightly.

"Why don't you go and have a look?" Yun Qian was a little yearning for that scenery.

"The more enchanting and dazzling the scenery, the more dangerous it is..."Liu Qishou whispered to himself.

"Could it be that there are poisonous snakes in this sea of flowers?" Yun shallow puzzled.

"It's more terrifying than a poisonous snake..."Liu Qishou smiled bitterly.

"Uh..."

"Let's go, if you don't go back, the proprietress should be in a hurry." Liu Qishou glanced at Yun Qian playfully, and then said solemnly: "If you come here alone in the future, don't try to cross that sea of flowers." ”

"Why..."Yun Qian was unconvinced.

"For your little life." Liu Qishou replied coldly.

Liu Qishou's mood became a little depressed, and on the way back, he occasionally exchanged a few words with Yun Qiandi. Of course, when watching Yun Qian climb back to the cliff in embarrassment, Liu Qishou couldn't help but laugh.

When I returned to Jinling City, it was already night. Walking on the streets of the Qinhuai River, silk and bamboo are tactful. In the distance, Yun Qian saw a graceful figure leaning lightly in front of the door of the Yanyu Building, looking this way. When the figure discovered the whereabouts of the two of them, he turned and went in.

"Boy, who do you think that~?" Liu Qishou squeezed his eyebrows at Yun Qian, and Yun glanced at him.

"Chef Liu, Brother Yun, you're back!" As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Youde greeted him flatteringly.

"The proprietress told me to tell you that it was too late, she was already asleep, and that if you were hungry, you should find something to eat in the kitchen. Don't miss tomorrow's morning. Zheng Youde didn't care about the embarrassment of the two, and excitedly acted as a herald.

After Yun Qian casually filled his stomach, he went upstairs and knocked lightly on Lijiu's door but did not respond. He returned to his room in a huff, and lay his head on the soft bed, his limbs aching, and he fell asleep as if he were falling apart, and soon began to snore a little.

"Young Master Yun, wake up..."Yun Qian was shaken awake, a little displeased, but he saw Xiao Tao, the maidservant girl in the building, looking at him with a smile and saying, "The boss lady ordered, let the young master freshen up, change into clean clothes and go to sleep again, don't stain the bedding." ”

Yun Qian looked at the big basin of steaming bath water in the room with sleepy eyes, happy like a child.

The next day, when Yun Qian woke up, the whole room was filled with warm sun, and he was feeling comfortable, but he heard a noisy voice outside the door. Not good, Yun Qian hurriedly got dressed and rushed downstairs, and found that it was already halfway through noon.

"It's not that I forgot to call you, it's the boss lady who won't let us bother you...!" Zheng Youde, who was fiercely caught by Yun Qian, replied truthfully.

In the kitchen, Liu Qishou, who was sweating profusely, saw Yun Qian, who sneaked in, and greeted: "Little brother Yun Qian, come and have a look!" ”

"I got up so late..."At this time, Li Jiu was standing next to Liu Qishou and glanced at Yun Qian lightly.

Yun Qian snorted and hid on the other side of the fat man. Liu Qishou was babbling nonsense with his mouth broken at this time, while carefully regulating the fire with the cyclone formed in his palm.

"Little Brother Yunqian, guess what this is..."Liu Qi's hand towards the exquisite porcelain pot Nunu in front of him.

"This can't be the medicinal food you made..."Yun Qian's eyes lit up, and he reached out to remove the lid of the pot, but was slapped open by Liu Qi's hand.

"Don't move, it's not alright!"

Yun Qian pursed his mouth, and he Li Jiu stood quietly on the side and watched Liu Qishou start the fire. The flames at the bottom of the pot were sometimes crowded together, sometimes scattered, and finally turned into two fire dragons circling the porcelain pot and spinning.

With a "Teng" sound, Liu Qi's hand turned into a fist, and the fire was extinguished instantly.

"That's it!" Liu Qi wiped the sweat on his head with his hand, looking proud.

"I'll lift the lid." Yun Qian volunteered to pick up the blue and white porcelain cover before Liu Qi's hand.

A handful of white mist poured out, instantly turning the entire back kitchen into a sea of fog. This cloud is extremely warm, brushing people's skin, and the touch is like silk. Between the clouds and mist, the clouds are more fragrant. When I first smell it, it is like Ning Yi Qingfang of green grass after rain; Smell it again, and there is the rich fragrance of pollendel; Eventually, all the fragrance dissipates into a strange fragrance that captivates the soul. For a while, everyone in the back kitchen became distracted.

"Lao Liu, this thing you made, I'm afraid it's not ecstasy!" , Yun Qian, who came to his senses, smiled and scolded.

"Come, two guest officers have a taste." Liu Qishou put the medicinal food into a small bowl and sprinkled some fresh peach petals on the surface.

In a small jade bowl, the soup is crystal white and white. This is made by Liu Qishou with the best wild black goat backbone, supplemented by dozens of flowers and plants, carefully boiled all morning. Looking at this rich and refreshing soup, Yun Qian and Lijiu's index fingers moved. The rest of the people in the back kitchen also gathered around at this time, looking greedy.

Lijiu gently scraped the soup noodles with a small spoon, then brought it to his mouth and took a sip. The mellow aroma of mutton and the elegance of herbs bloom on every taste bud on the tip of the tongue in just one moment. Lijiu feels as if he is swimming among the sea of flowers and walking through the smoke and clouds at this time. A faint flush appeared on her fair cheeks.

Yun Qian on the side is not as delicate as this, and after taking a sip, he only feels like death. If it's just an ordinary herb meal, although it can also fill the room with fragrance, it can't do such a soul-hooking experience. The most striking touch of this delicacy is still the thousand grasses. According to the description of "The Ghost of a Hundred Grasses", the stems of a thousand hidden grasses are abnormally aromatic and can be mildly hallucinated.

The aroma of medicinal food gradually spread, through the corridor, through the vestibule, and even into the street outside the smoke and rain building. The dine-in guests were in a commotion, eager to find the source of the aroma.

"Are you two satisfied?" Liu Qishou asked happily.

"It was definitely the most delicious thing I've ever tasted in my life. Thank you for your hard work, Lao Liu. Li Jiu, who had been tense for the past few days, was also rarely brilliant at this time. Yun Qian even gave Liu Qishou a thumbs up and was full of praise.

"Such a wonderful dish needs to be given a nice name. Lao Liu, what do you think it's called? Yun Qian asked with a grin.

Liu Qishou tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "It's better to call it Wuyuhua." ”

"Misty Flower." Lijiu's eyes lit up, "The first time I saw the mist, I didn't speak, and the flowers were lush." ”

"The proprietress is dea." Liu Qishou did not forget to pat his ass.

"With such a good thing, it will definitely not be a problem for us to sell thousands of bowls a day." Yun Qianmei said with a smile.

Liu Qishou and Li Jiu came out together when they heard this, glaring at him.

"Boy, do you think it's cabbage soup. It took me a whole morning, old man, to make such a small pot. To ensure that the soup tastes the best, the heat must be controlled at all times. Liu Qishou said.

Li Jiu also said at this time: "Not to mention the complexity of the production of this fog flower and the preciousness of the consumables, just in terms of doing business, it is important to pay attention to the rarity of a thing." If you sell it casually like this, even the best things will soon lose their value. I have decided that we will only provide one copy per day of this fog and rain building, and we only accept reservations. The price is 99 taels per pot. ”

Profiteer, I only have five taels of silver a month, and Yun Qian secretly slandered himself on the side.

As soon as the fog flower was launched, it became a hot spot in Jinling City. Those who have smelled a little bit of the aroma alone blow it to the godsend. In just three days, Yanyulou has received dozens of orders, including many of the princes and nobles who have booked them at higher prices. In this Jinling City, there is no shortage of rich people. Yun Qian had to admire Li Jiu's treacherous and old man's vision and judgment in the business road.

In the past few days, Liu Qishou gradually handed over the work of boiling the fog flower to Yun Qian. After Yun Qian fried the pot a few times, he slowly began to master some skills, and his control of internal breath naturally became more and more stable. During the day, he controlled the fire and cut vegetables, and secretly practiced light skills at night, and Yun Qian lived a tiring and fulfilling life. For him, being able to feel his progress is something that brings great joy.

It's been another busy morning. A beautifully decorated carriage stopped at the door of the Smoke and Rain Building. Zheng Youde is a discerning little guy, and hurriedly greeted him. A middle-aged man dressed in a fancy costume got out of the carriage. He glanced at this respectful little guy with some satisfaction, and said, "Little Er, go and invite your shopkeeper here." ”

"I wonder what this distinguished guest is doing with our shopkeeper?" Zheng Youde is also a very protective person.

"There's a big business. Just go and call her. The middle-aged man frowned, and naturally handed over a silver ingot in Zheng Youde's hand.

This weighing, how can there be five taels, Zheng Youde smiled, and ran to find the proprietress in a hurry.

In the private room on the third floor of the Yanyu Building, Li Jiu gently twisted his graceful waist and walked in slowly. After she bowed lightly, she said, "The little woman has seen the guest officer in Lijiu, I don't know what the guest officer commands?" ”

"You're the shopkeeper here?" The middle-aged man raised his eyes and glanced at Lijiu and asked.

"Exactly."

"In Xia Su Ting, he is the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion. My young lady wants to hold a banquet in your building in three days, I wonder if it is convenient? The middle-aged man's words revealed a bit of arrogance.

"I've seen Butler Su. If the lord of Sixia can come, it will be an honor for the contempt building. The best private room in the building is reserved for His Royal Highness the county lord. Li Jiu said respectfully.

"Hmph." Su Ting raised his eyebrows in displeasure and said, "My young lady is a noble person, since she has a banquet here, she naturally wants to charter this building." “

"This..."Lijiu was a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, the benefits are indispensable to you. This is a deposit, and two more will be paid to you after the banquet. Su Ting said, took out a gold ingot, and put it on the table.

Fortune can't stop it, and Lijiu's heart is happy. One ingot of gold is one thousand taels of silver, and three ingots of gold, which is the income of Yanyulou for nearly half a month.

"Then the contemptible building will be cleaned up and arranged, and your Royal Highness the county lord will be welcomed!"

"Remember to have the Fog Flower." Su Ting instructed.

"Wuyuhua can only make one pot a day, and it's all booked..."Lijiu knows that as a businessman, it is important to stick to principles.

"So, is that enough?" Su Ting took out three more ingots of gold and put them on the table.

"Fog Whisper Flower, no problem." Lijiu has never been too principled. After all, for a businessman, a person like Su Ting, who can bully people, but wants to humiliate your guests with real money, can be said to be a bit cute.
