In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, Li Chuanzhi took Zhuo Yifan and Li Yuxuan to push a cart of silver to the family in the night, and under the personal inventory of Li Shiyuan, the family account, 10,000 taels of silver were stored. The grand scene alarmed the patriarch Li Shiwen to bring a few elders to rush over, watching the torches shine under the boxes full of silver, with a smile on his face, pulling Li Chuanzhi to the side corner, and Li Yuxuan also followed.

Li Shiwen said with a smile: "Li Chuanzhixian's nephew, the dishes in your store are so delicious, how much can you earn in a month in this store now?" ”

Li Yuxuan took over and said, "I've seen the patriarch, at present, Wanfu Restaurant has an income of more than 10,000 yuan a month, and after the income is handed over to the family, there is not much left." ”

An elder next to him jumped out under Li Shiwen's gaze and scolded angrily: "You doll, you are too open-mouthed, not to mention the number of people who eat at Wanfu Restaurant every day?" Just the fresh fish and live chickens pulled into Wanfu Restaurant every day are dozens of cars, and the transfer announcement outside the door, we are not blind to see it, how can Wanfu Restaurant's monthly income be only more than 10,000? ”

Li Yuxuan glanced at the elder with disdain, and said to the patriarch Li Shiwen: "How many officials often come to the imperial court in Wanfu Restaurant, do you know how to deal with it?" Why didn't Wanfu Restaurant have these exquisite dishes before? Wanfu Restaurant is so prosperous, why didn't there be a peer to dismantle the stage and make a black hand? Have you ever wondered why? When Li Shiwen and the elders heard this, they stared at each other wide-eyed, and they didn't know how to match each other.

Li Yuxuan continued: "How much do these court officials need to do? Have the patriarchs and elders thought about it? Which restaurant in Youzhou City is worth 3,000 taels of silver? The family is in trouble, and we, as clansmen, naturally help out, and we have invited a hidden master, who has taught you all these dishes, and what price do you think the skills of these dishes can be worth?

In order to avoid plundering the share of other restaurants because of the booming business of our Wanfu Restaurant, we consulted the opinion of the hidden master, and adopted the method of transferring the cooking technology of the three dishes to balance the income of the surrounding restaurants and avoid any small means because of the red eyes.

The transfer fee of the three-course cooking technology all belongs to the hidden master, and sixty percent of the income of our Wanfu Restaurant belongs to the hidden master, and then deducts the cost of the ingredients, and the remaining is only more than 10,000 yuan. There was nothing else, the 10,000 pieces of silver we had handed over had been put into storage, and we went back to rest. ”

The speechless patriarch Li Shiwen and the elders watched Li Chuanzhi take Li Yuxuan and Zhuo Yifan to leave with the empty car, looked at each other, raised their heads and sighed to the sky, shook their heads, frowned and dispersed back to the room to rest.

Li Chuanzhi and his entourage returned to Wanfu Restaurant, in the lobby on the first floor, everyone was waiting eagerly, after everyone sat down, Zhuo Yifan described to everyone how Li Yuxuan fought the elder's deeds, everyone looked at Li Yuxuan and gave a thumbs up.

Li Yuxuan stood up, held the table with both hands, looked around at everyone, and said: "Tonight, I will teach the Buddha jumping over the wall and the dragon and tiger fighting two dishes, the staple food will increase spring rolls, and tomorrow will post a notice of new dishes, and the day after tomorrow will be officially included in the menu, but when customers order, remember that the Buddha jumping over the wall is a dish, the sick and the weak and the pregnant cannot eat it, so please discourage it!" Early tomorrow morning, Zeng Yiyang followed me into the Crouching Tiger Mountains to explore the way, nothing else, and asked Uncle Sun and his mother to follow me to the back kitchen and wear copper wire gloves. ”

Li Yuxuan first showed Sun Yidao, Zhao Ling'er, Yu'er, Zeng Yiyang, how to deal with the ingredients, put on copper wire gloves and grabbed the three inches of a king snake, and with his right hand, the snake's bone joints were disjointed, grabbed scissors, pried open the snake's mouth, picked up and removed the snake's teeth, and cut the snake's belly with a knife, and swiped the snake's head with a knife, easily peeled off the snake's skin, and removed the snake's gallbladder and other internal organs.

Li Yuxuan said calmly: "When dealing with snakes, you must be at least two people present together, it is important to pay attention to the snake head after the landing, two days and two nights can still bite people, be careful when dealing with it, many snakes are highly poisonous and fatal, there is no corresponding antidote to be bitten is very dangerous, once bitten, tighten the wound with a rope near the heart, cut the wound with a sharp blade after flame disinfection, and bleed, and the friends who cooperate immediately take the snake's corpse to the pharmacy to dispense the corresponding snake medicine, and there can be no time delay!" When everyone heard this, they subconsciously moved away from the snake cage and took a step back.

Li Yuxuan led everyone to the kitchen, demonstrating in detail the cooking steps of Buddha jumping over the wall and dragon and tiger fighting and the details of handling ingredients, Zhao Linger drew a simple diagram directly on the side, and marked the text for remarks, the operation steps of these two dishes are as high as more than 100 steps. Followed by the production of spring rolls, the same steps are extremely cumbersome, and the control requirements in the heat are also more demanding, everyone watched Li Yuxuan skillfully wrap the long strips of spring rolls, steam, and when they got started, it was not like that, either the stuffing was stuffed unevenly, or the skin was broken with too much force.

Li Yuxuan gave hand-in-hand guidance one by one, busy until the early hours of the morning, everyone laughed and cleaned up the kitchen, washed neatly, and went back to the room to rest, Li Yuxuan sorted out his bags, prepared flints, salt, and quivers, took out a hard bow and a big knife and checked it carefully, and then went to bed and took a nap.

As soon as the sky dawned, Li Yuxuan and Zeng Yiyang, carrying bags, hard bows and quivers, and big knives hanging from their waists, strode out of Youzhou City side by side and headed for the Crouching Tiger Mountains outside the city.

The Crouching Tiger Mountains are located between Youzhou and Qingzhou, the mountains are undulating, the green trees are stacked and green, there are many vegetation and beasts in the mountains, there is no lack of fierce wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, the official road located in the middle of the Crouching Tiger Mountains is also often roaming and hunting beasts, in the depths of the Crouching Tiger Mountains are suspected of having a beast of adulthood, whoever enters the depths of the Crouching Tiger Mountain Range, there is no one who comes back alive, so that those robber cottages are near the official road, even so, they are often washed by the blood of fierce beasts, and there have been three beast tide siege events in history, It all ends with the city of soldiers and civilians being devoured.

As soon as they stepped into the edge of the Crouching Tiger Mountain Range, Li Yuxuan and Zeng Yiyang took out their big knives, looked around, and cautiously walked towards the nearby mountains step by step.

Zeng Yiyang looked at the dense forest around him, and said in a low voice: "Lord, the Crouching Tiger Mountain Range is full of fierce beasts, and even the main city has been slaughtered by blood, can we build a cottage here to gain a firm foothold?" ”

Li Yuxuan glanced into the distance and said leisurely: "The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive." This was originally the living space of wild beasts, human beings built cities here, wanton hunting and felling, has threatened the survival of these beasts, in this Crouching Tiger Mountain Range there is already a beast king, infinitely approaching the immortal level, and some arrogant people who do not know life and death, what did they do to offend the beast king, there is no human master of the same strength to fight, triggering the revenge of the slaughtered city is the inevitable result. ”

Seeing a team of ragged robbers rushing towards them with spears and mountain axes, Li Yuxuan motioned to Zeng Yiyang to wait in place, and his body flew up to meet him, his body flashed, avoiding the stabbing spear and the chopped mountain axe, the big knife in his hand flew over, touched the handle of the spear and the mountain axe, and easily knocked their spears and mountain axes, one by one the blades that had fallen into disrepair were either broken or flew out of their hands, the team of robbers shouted in horror, turned their heads and ran.

Li Yuxuan pierced the big knife in the dirt beside him, took off the hard bow, put on the arrow, pulled the bowstring, and shouted: "Stand still for me, dare to take another step, I will shoot you through one by one!" ”

The group of robbers stood still, not daring to move, Li Yuxuan took a few steps forward and said, "Come back to me, which of you is the leader?" Come forward and speak! As he spoke, he put away his bow and arrows, put the hard bow on his back, put the arrows away, and drew his broadsword.

A thin guy turned around and said cautiously: "This uncle, the villain is Xiao Yang, the third leader of Qingfeng Village, I am ignorant and offended the uncle, and I also ask the uncle to have a large number of them, let me wait for a way out." ”

Li Yuxuan glanced at the guy who called himself Xiao Yang had a thick callus on his hands, and a scar on his face that crossed his left eye and right cheek, and said calmly: "You have been a soldier before?" Ever been on the battlefield? Why is the grass falling into the grass? ”

Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, took a step back nervously, and carefully looked at the child in front of him, and said in surprise: "Yes, I used to be the head of a hundred people under General Heng Tianba, after General Heng Tianba was killed by Zhu Lian, we were chased and killed by the imperial court, and I had to fall into the grass, I swear to the sky, I Qingfeng Village for the heavens, rob the rich and help the poor, and have never killed any innocent people, these brothers are the oppressed of the poor and can't survive, so they gather here to fight wild beasts and corrupt officials and corrupt officials to make a living." ”

Zeng Yiyang took a few steps forward, looked at Xiao Yang carefully, and said tremblingly: "I wonder if Heng Jiu'er, the son of General Heng Tianba, was spared?" ”

Xiao Yang clenched his fists and asked respectfully: "Please also ask this little brother to forgive his sins, I am clumsy, I don't know who you are?" ”

Zeng Yiyang's tangled mood eased, and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Heng Jiu'er is still alive, please inform him, just say that there is a small visit!" ”

Xiao Yang was stunned again, pointed to a thin man, and ordered: "Li San, go back immediately, please come to the master of the big village and the master of the second village, there are distinguished guests arriving." The thin man turned and ran towards the cottage.

After a short time, a young man in white with a spear in his backhand and an old man with a knife in both hands rushed over, and two teams of minions ran to follow. The white-clothed young man handed the spear to the two minions behind him, and he quickly stepped forward and hugged Zeng Yiyang, with tears in his eyes, and the surrounding minions and the second village master with two knives put away their weapons and stood respectfully.

The two made love for a while, wiping away their tears in the cold wind, Zeng Yiyang pulled the white-clothed young general to Li Yuxuan, and said: "Lord, this is Heng Jiu'er, the son of my grandfather's fierce general Heng Tianba. Brother Heng Jiu'er, this is my lord Li Yuxuan! ”

Heng Jiu'er was stunned, and said in a low voice: "Lord? You are the grandson of the Marquis of the Barbarians, is he the legendary man of destiny? ”

Heng Jiu'er immediately knelt down in front of Li Yuxuan, and said respectfully: "Subordinate Heng Jiu'er, knock on the Lord!" The owner and minions behind him also knelt down.

Li Yuxuan helped Heng Jiu'er up and said loudly: "Everyone, please get up, it's cold outside, let's go into the cottage to talk in detail." ”

After Heng Jiu'er got up, with a wave of his hand, there were immediately minions leading the way in front, along the way, Li Yuxuan carefully looked at the layout of the cottage, although it was simple, but the rolling wood and stones, the horse rejection pile, the stumbling rope, and the traps were all complete, and they could also resist the small-scale attacks of the officers and soldiers. Surrounded by minions, everyone entered the cottage Juyi Hall.

Heng Jiu'er pulled the old man with a double knife on his back and said: "This is my father's old guard Gu Changfeng, and he is also the military advisor of Qingfeng Village, I was able to escape from the round-up of officers and soldiers, all thanks to Uncle Gu and Xiao Yang, after their desperate resistance was broken, many of my father's old subordinates died in battle." As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes again.

Li Yuxuan asked Heng Jiu'er and the two village owners and Zeng Yiyang to stay, and the others shielded and exited the Juyi Hall, and after closing the door, Li Yuxuan said in a low voice: "Since your brothers and seniors are willing to follow me, I will live up to your high expectations, let me first say, my first step in the planning of the Crouching Tiger Mountains, the situation of all the cottages in the Crouching Tiger Mountains is to find out, whether it is a cottage composed of Jiangyang thieves and rogues, or a cottage composed of poor people for Tianxingdao." Persuade the rebels to surrender, merge and reorganize or expel them, and for the rogues, I will personally destroy them, so that you do not take action, so as not to damage your brothers. We want to monopolize the Crouching Tiger Mountains.

Brother Zeng Yiyang and I continued to go deep into the Crouching Tiger Mountains to visit the beast king here, the strength of this beast king is close to the immortal level, you don't follow, once the words are discordant, it will hurt you by mistake, after I negotiate the beast queen, our base camp will be built in the depths of the Crouching Tiger Mountains, and fortifications and foreign trade places will be established on the periphery, and these cottages on the edge will be changed into post stations, so that it is convenient for friends who enter the Crouching Tiger Mountains trade area to enter and exit for rest. Are there any unclear about each of your tasks? ”

Gu Changfeng said in a bright voice: "Lord, you are somewhat sure of taking this beast king, I guessed correctly, once you make a move against the beast king and fail to defeat it, the two important towns of Youzhou and Qingzhou will be leveled by the beast king, and hundreds of thousands of people will be slaughtered, please think twice!" ”

Li Yuxuan nodded, and said approvingly: "Uncle Gu's analysis is very correct, the previous beast tide was indeed initiated by this beast king, but now the situation is different, the beast king is facing a catastrophe, and I am the only person who can help him survive the catastrophe, the beast king is different from human beings, they are simple by nature, and the friends they identify have no regrets for life, and they can deliver their lives." ”

Gu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "This, you have to go through the Heavenly Tribulation to advance to the Immortal Rank?" Since the Lord is also a cultivator, he is old and stupid, I wish the Lord success in subduing the Beast King, and we will definitely do a good job in the investigation of the cottages, and subdue the righteous army to serve the Lord, please rest assured. ”
