"Snake gall! The shopkeeper, the snake gall bladder was bought. Fang Bu screamed, gulping out cold air in the heavy snow.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and one of the jujube trees in the courtyard was crushed off.

The frightened Xu Yuan sat on the stone mill, curled up and also exhaled cold. Li Luo sent a cup of hot tea and handed it to Xu Yuan, who whispered "Thank you, Master".

The title was a little awkward, Li Luo smiled awkwardly and then went back to the house.

Snake gall is not easy to buy, it was already past noon when Fang Buyu came back, fortunately a heavy snow made the business not very good, otherwise I don't know how to deal with it.

Taking the snake gall, Xia Shang frowned: "That's it?" ”

Fang Buyu cried with a sad face: "Shopkeeper, you don't know that I have found a lot of Orions and Pharmacists for this bit of snake gall, and they are all fresh." ”

There are four snake gall bladders in total, a little less, but it's better than nothing.

Xia Shang crushed all the snake gall bladder and packed the bile into the bamboo tube prepared in advance. The bamboo tube contains wine and sugar, plus some minced musk.

The bile was mixed into it, and Xia Shang stirred it with chopsticks and sent it to Xu Yuan: "Rinse your mouth with it, and spit it out when you feel uncomfortable." ”

Xu Yuan nodded, took the bamboo tube, and before he drank it, Xia Shang added: "It's not to spit it out, it's to spit it back into the bamboo tube, once in the morning, noon and evening in the future." ”

"How long will it be?"

"This ...... It's hard to say. ”

The sorrow in Xu Yuan's eyes did not decrease, and he looked at the bamboo tube and took a sip first.

Xu Yuan didn't have any expression, Fang Buyu was very curious, and he dipped it a little and licked it on the tip of his tongue without paying attention, but his face turned blue in an instant, which was more terrifying than eating arsenic, and he began to vomit in the next second, one bite after another, feeling like he was going to die.

After a while, Fang Buyu eased up, squatting in the snow and spitting, looking at the calm Xu Yuan with pimples all over his body.

"I really don't understand, I've never tasted such a strange thing in my life, how can not react at all?"

No one paid attention to him, but the's expression became more serious.

After a while, the's eyelids trembled slightly, and Xia Shang nodded and motioned for her to spit it out.

"Remember to do this every day, and in the future, you can only eat white rice and drink water until you are fully recovered."

Xu Yuan sighed, nodded, and covered the bamboo tube.

Xia Shang shook her shoulder to show comfort: "Although I don't know what method the person who harmed you use, this method can deal with all the toxins that have lost their sense of taste. It's just that the effect is slower. Now let's talk about what's going on, right? ”

Xu Yuan wiped the snowflakes from her ears, shrunk her body tighter, and frowned even more. I was silent for a long time, but I shook my head: "I don't know, I don't know who wants to harm me, I went back yesterday and fell asleep, and after I woke up, I found that I couldn't taste it." ”

"So?" Xia Shang felt very strange, "It's definitely not the food problem at the wedding banquet yesterday, no one has a similar situation." The most likely thing to make you lose your sense of taste is the food, but you say you left here and never ate again, maybe someone did something to you after you fell asleep. Since there is no way to judge the murderer from the method of poisoning, it can only be judged from the motive of poisoning. Why do the people who hurt you only make you lose your sense of taste, and what do you think the people who hurt you want to gain from this? ”

"Motivation?"

Xu Yuan continued to think, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes: "Could it be a competition in three days?" ”

"Three days later?"

"The Great Dynasty Banquet Selection. Hosted by the Imperial Dining Room, all the chefs in Chang'an City can participate in the selection of dishes at next year's Imperial Dining Meeting, from which the best dishes are selected, and several of the best folk chefs will be selected to prepare for the banquet of the Imperial Dining Room together. I'm going to participate, will it be someone who gets the news......"

Xia Shang nodded, judging from the current situation, there is only one possibility of the Great Dynasty Banquet. No matter who it is, there must be someone who doesn't want Xu Yuan to play in the competition, so they use this method.

But knowing these has become troublesome again, there are so many people who participate in the election of the Great Dynasty Banquet, who can say who is absolutely suspicious?

Speculation alone will not yield results for a long time.

Perhaps because he was also a chef, Xia Shang was very angry about what happened to Xu Yuan, and coupled with the status of master and apprentice, he decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The murderer can't be speculated now, but the murderer must not want Xu Yuan to be too eye-catching in the competition, even so, then let Xu Yuan come out on top, the murderer did not get his wish, and he may show flaws in a hurry.

"Xu Yuan, the Great Dynasty Banquet chooses me as your deputy."

"Huh?" Xu Yuan was shocked.

"Since you can't taste it, use my tongue to see which beam-jumping clown can't help but fall."

Xia Shang's plan was very simple, and Xu Yuan immediately understood Xia Shang's intentions: "However, you are the master, I am the apprentice, I should be your deputy." ”

"Why should you care about those things? The key now is to find the murderer, and even if he can't find the murderer, he will be upset. ”

Xu Yuan didn't speak, but there was a faint excitement.

The Great Dynasty Banquet is a triennial culinary event, which can basically be regarded as the highest culinary competition in Datang, and the participating chefs not only include all the chefs in Chang'an who have confidence in themselves, but even the surrounding counties and neighboring states and counties in Chang'an, there will also be chefs to participate. But this is not only the whole story, there are also some wandering idlers, each with a good cooking skills, and some private chefs of large families, these are either former chefs or veterans who have been cooking all their lives.

It was an unprecedented level of competition, and it was very difficult to get your dishes on the menu of the Great Pilgrimage, and it was even more difficult to be selected as one of the chefs of the Pilgrimage. Xu Yuan participated in a court banquet, and the last time Qingshui silver carp was selected into the menu of the great court meeting, it made Qingshui silver carp Xu Yuan's signature and made Xu Yuan famous. But it was only selected for one dish, and Xu Yuan at that time didn't even touch the door of being selected as the chef of the Great Dynasty Meeting.

This time, Xu Yuan has been preparing for a long time, in order to be selected to become the chef of the Great Dynasty Club, which is the highest honor of a chef and the highest affirmation of a chef. As long as you are determined to be a good cook, there is no one who will not participate.

This little master has always been surrounded by mystery in her heart, and there are too many skills that she has never seen. In such an environment as the Great Dynasty Banquet, what kind of energy will the competition between the chefs and the pressure brought by the surroundings make this mysterious little master show? Will it show a more amazing side? Or has he already shown everything?

With infinite expectations, Xu Yuan agreed with Xia Shang's plan.

Xia Shang was very serious this time, and asked Xu Yuan to leave first, and then behave more normally for a period of time, and the plan should be carried out secretly, so that the murderer could feel taken by surprise and let him show his flaws.
