Chapter 45: City Lord Nangong Ling
As soon as he arrived at Guilinju, Mo Nan ran to the small kitchen. Chef Zhao was resting, drinking a bowl of things.
"Uncle Zhao, what are you drinking?" Little Pretty sniffed a little rose.
Chef Zhao was taken aback, and hurriedly put the bowl that almost fell on the table, "You, you're naughty again, this is rose wine." Then he took a bowl from the cupboard and poured it for her to taste. After all, it was wine, so I didn't pour too much.
She looked at the wine in the bowl, the color was clear and transparent, and it smelled rose-scented. I took a small bite of it, it was sweet and soft and delicious. However, the alcohol content may be relatively high, and after a while, she felt that her little face was hot.
A slight flush appeared on Mo Nan's cheeks, but he was still awake. "Wow, this wine is so fragrant, it's a bit high."
"It's a good wine, I've only drunk the rice fruit wine of the village chief's house over the years, and it's rare to have other wine." Chef Zhao took another sip of wine with enjoyment.
"Uh-huh, where did this come from?" She hadn't seen her in Heijo.
He patted his stomach with some regret. "It was bought by Lao Qian and the wandering merchant, and there are only two jars. Old Qian asked me to see if I could use it in the dish, but if I sold it as wine, this amount would definitely not be enough. β
"Merchant? Last time, Xiaoyun bought chili seeds from him. I want to see if there's anything else, where is that guy now?" The wandering merchant appears at a different time every month, she doesn't live in the village, and she hasn't met it yet.
"It's gone."
"Ahh She sat down disappointed.
After a while, she remembered the purpose of her visit, and stood up again and took out the lamb that had been processed from her belt. "This is the jumping sheep I hit today, how can I make it delicious?"
Chef Zhao took the mutton and put it on the cutting board, "This is as tender as lamb, and it is very suitable for slicing and making antique soup." β
"Antique soup?" I've never heard of this.
I saw Chef Zhao's hand falling with a knife, and at a glance, a jumping sheep was divided into meat, bones and four legs of mutton.
He explains: "It is a clay pot with dashi on a small stove where the soup is burned, and when the soup boils, the meat is put in it to cook. Because the food will "coo" when it is placed, it is called antique soup. β
Ah, isn't it just hot pot?
During the conversation, Chef Zhao prepared the things. Although it wasn't too long before lunch, they still feasted on it in the name of tasting.
The mutton was soaked in a clay pot with the taste of broth, and it was dipped in Chef Zhao's special sauce, so delicious that she couldn't speak.
She was thinking that if Chef Zhao's dishes also had attribute bonuses, every dish must be excellent.
"Uncle Zhao, I still have a lot of jumping sheep here, give them all to you." Anyway, she will continue to fight later, so leave these to Chef Zhao to play.
"You let the old money pay for this, and bring anything new in the future. Uncle can't do anything else, this cooking skill is still passable. He patted his belly proudly and laughed.
"Well, then I'll go find the money shopkeeper."
"Go ahead." Chef Zhao lowered his head and took the leg of lamb there to consider what method to bake it.
Mo Nan walked to the counter of Guilinju and saw that although the meal had passed, there were still many customers eating. "Money shopkeeper, I hit a lot of jumping sheep, Uncle Zhao asked you to pay for it."
"Okay, I'm thinking that everyone seems to be tired of eating the Cunning Beast now, and your Jumping Sheep came just in time." The money shopkeeper put down the abacus in his hand and looked at her with a smile.
Using the transfer function of storage equipment, Mo Nan and the money shopkeeper completed an under-the-table transaction in broad daylight.
She remembered that there was a communication between the gold shopkeeper and the money shopkeeper in Pingcheng before, and she wondered what happened to those who disappeared? She hasn't eaten Heijo's famous dishes yet.
"Those people still haven't been found, but the Nangong City Lord has strong martial arts, so he should only be trapped for a while. The Imperial City has sent a representative city lord to manage the castle and be responsible for finding the missing people. Speaking of this money shopkeeper, it is rare to have a worried expression.
"Nangong City Lord?"
"Yes, this Nangong Ling City Lord is the only female city lord in the top ten main cities, and she is a heroine among women who don't let her eyebrows."
"It's a female city lord?!" She admires the capable lady the most, and it seems that there is a story to hear. Hurriedly took out a pot of mint tea and two cups from his belt, poured a cup for the money shopkeeper, and poured a cup for himself.
"Speaking of which, this Nangong City Lord is also a legendary figure. The Nangong family is a very low-key family, even if they are a veteran family that has been passed down for thousands of years. When the lord of Nangong City was born, it was said that there was a vision in the sky, and everyone said that this woman must be a person with a background. But when she was young, she was weak and sickly, and later the head of the Nangong family gritted her teeth and sent her to the mountains to practice martial arts. doesn't want to learn how powerful martial arts she is, I just hope that she can grow up healthily without illness and pain. β
The shopkeeper took a sip of tea and continued: "This is the wish of being a parent, but the situation is indeed as the head of the Nangong family wishes. Nangong Ling met Yun Qing, the daughter of the medical saint, in the sect, and after years of conditioning, her body is getting better and better day by day. In the end, he fully recovered, and he also learned a strong martial arts. She has done a lot of things that people talk about since she joined the WTO. β
Hearing the money shopkeeper pause, he smiled and squinted his eyes without continuing. She remembered that in previous novels, some storytellers would deliberately pause and let everyone respond with a cheer before moving on.
"Then what has this female city lord done?" She immediately asked cheerfully and helped him refill the tea.
Sure enough, the money shopkeeper continued with a smile: "She has done a lot of things, so I won't talk about them one by one, but I will pick a few to tell you about them." For example, the most admired by the girls in the world, the war of picking flowers and stealing poinsettias. This was the first major thing that the Nangong City Lord did after entering the WTO. β
"What's the story?" Mo Nan immediately practiced the skills of the court.
"At that time, there was a flower thief named Poinsettia in the imperial city, who went to the homes of large families to pick flowers and steal willows. The ladies of the big families in the imperial city are worried every day, and they can't stop worrying all day. However, this big thief has outstanding light skills and strong martial arts, even if they are discovered by the family guard, they are not opponents at all, and they have no way at all. That guy was so bold that he broke into the palace and picked up the people in the harem. β
"Wow, wow, this villain is so powerful, how did he end up in the hands of the Nangong City Lord?"
"The emperor is furious, and he has limited Jin Wu to catch poinsettia within a month. But there is no way to do it, so he can only continue to strengthen the patrol. Seeing that the deadline is getting closer and closer, poinsettia is still free to enter and exit the backyard of large households. Because Zhi Jinwu and the head of the Nangong family have been friends for many years, they finally had to ask him for help. It happened that Nangong Ling came back from the sect to visit his parents, so he took over the matter. β
Although the head of the Nangong family was also worried about his baby daughter, he still supported her approach and handed over all the family manpower to her to arrange. Nangong Ling carefully studied the various acts and routes of Poinsettia's crimes. Finally found some clues, stopped Poinsettia before he entered the harem, and fought him alone for three hundred rounds, and finally took Poinsettia down. Poinsettia was sentenced to be beheaded, and Nangong Ling also became a guest in the imperial city and even in the palace. Of course, these are all rumors, I haven't seen them with my own eyes, I have heard about them. β
