22. Win hearts and minds
The next day, Guo Furong was obsessed with it and asked for an extra two pennies, so she went to Yihong Restaurant to inquire about the news.
In the end, because he had no money, he couldn't afford to eat and could only drink tea, and he was ridiculed by his guys and smashed Yihong Restaurant angrily, which caused a big disaster.
Because of this, Tong Xiangyu had to agree to help Yi Red Restaurant entertain the difficult Hu Shi Niang.
That's right, it's the singer who sang the divine comedy "The Soup Under Shi Niang", Hu Shi Niang.
It is said that she is also the most famous singer in Yangzhou City.
Jiang Yi was also very curious about the level of this Hu Shi Niang as a famous singer, and went to the inn to listen to her sing her famous song.
"Lang Jun~ Are you hungry and panicked, hey, hey, if you want to be hungry, please tell Shi Niang, Shi Niang will make you noodle soup......"
After listening to it, I only felt that the magic sound was instilled in my brain.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but hurriedly fled back to his small courtyard, not daring to go to the inn to join in the fun.
After this Hu Shi Niang arrived at the Tongfu Inn, she fell in love with the handsome and dashing Bai Zhantang, and wanted to pull him to elope, but in the end the elopement failed, so she could only return to Yangzhou alone.
Because Hu Shi Niang left, Tong Xiangyu failed to complete the explanation of Yihong Restaurant. The shopkeeper of Yihong Restaurant, Sai Diao Chan, took the opportunity to make trouble and asked Guo Furong to sing in Yihong Restaurant instead of Hu Shiniang, and Tong Xiangyubai Zhantang and Big Mouth had to dance on the side.
She and the maid Xiaocui took the opportunity to steal the account book of the Tongfu Inn, and wanted to find evidence of Tong Xiangyu's tax evasion, but Bai Zhantang took the opportunity to drop the bag.
The strategy to steal the ledger failed, but Sai Diao Chan was still unwilling to give up and planned a conspiracy to bring down the Tongfu Inn.
There was a commotion in the inn, and Jiang Yi didn't care much, just took care of his own cultivation.
……
This afternoon.
Jiang Yi practiced sunflower point acumen in the backyard of the inn.
In front of him hung a one-foot-square white cloth with a few red dots painted on it.
Taking off the iron ring in his hand, Jiang Yi stood still, more than half a meter away from the white cloth, his eyes staring intently at a few red dots on the cloth.
At this moment, only himself and the white cloth in front of him were left in his world.
Suddenly, he moved, pinched the fingers of his sword in his hand, and shot like the wind.
Fingers are like arrows, piercing through the air.
A red dot on a white cloth in the center.
Then, without stopping, he put his hands out together, and pointed at the red dots hanging from the white cloth like a raging storm.
After this period of exercise, his hand speed has improved a lot, and with one point, he can already pierce more than a dozen pieces of paper, so he changed the cultivation props to a white cloth.
With each of his fingers, the hanging white cloth swayed high on the ground, and then fell.
According to Bai Zhantang, when he can pierce the hanging white cloth with one finger, his acupoint technique can be regarded as a small success.
It's just that this white cloth only fixes the edge of the upper edge, like an upside-down flag, and it is powerless in the air, and it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to pierce it with your hands.
In addition to the extremely fast speed, it also requires the cooperation of internal force, and it is possible to do it by bursting out with extremely strong finger force at the moment of attack.
Jiang Yi repeats the movements of the sunflower point acumen like a robot.
One, two, ten, hundred, thousand.
Poof, poof, poof.
The finger of the sword landed on the white cloth with a soft sound.
At some point, he was already drenched in sweat.
His arm was sore, as if he weighed a thousand pounds.
Jiang Yi seemed to be completely unaware, only the white cloth hanging on the other side in his eyes, and kept waving his hand and pointing his fingers until he exhausted all his strength, and then he stopped.
He walked to the side and sat down, and began to close his eyes and breathe.
At this time, with a gust of fragrant wind coming, Sai Diao Chan, who was wearing a pink skirt, came over and offered a cup of fragrant tea: "Jiang Gongzi, you are tired, come and drink ginseng tea and rest." ”
"Thank you."
Jiang Yi opened his eyes and looked at her, and he was not polite, and happily took it.
Sai Diao Chan said with a smile: "Jiang Gongzi's cultivation is really hard, and he will definitely become a master of martial arts in time." By the way, I have a snowflake jade cream here, which has an excellent effect on eliminating physical fatigue, Jiang Gongzi can try it. ”
On the other hand, the maid Xiaocui took out a small box of ointment when she heard this, and began to apply it on Jiang Yi's hands.
After rubbing the ointment, he gently massaged Jiang Yi's hands: "Jiang Gongzi, I specially learned massage techniques from the master, what do you think?" ”
Jiang Yi felt that the sore and stiff muscles in his hands were indeed soothed a lot with the massage, and couldn't help but smile: "I feel much better, thank you two." ”
"Where, where, it's good to be able to help Jiang Gongzi. Since this ointment is useful, then this box of Yulu alabaster will be given to Jiang Gongzi, if Jiang Gongzi is tired of cultivation and needs a massage in the future, even if he comes to Xiaocui for help, don't be polite. Sai Diao Chan said that you are not welcome, and then said:
"By the way, I heard that Jiang Gongzi, you have only started practicing martial arts for a long time, and at your age, it is a bit late to practice martial arts now."
Jiang Yi nodded: "That's true, so my cultivation progress is very slow, and it has not been satisfactory." ”
In order to win over Jiang Yi, Sai Diao Chan was obviously prepared, and said: "I have news here, maybe it will help you Jiang Gongzi." ”
"Oh, I don't know what's going on?" Jiang Yi didn't care too much, just asked casually.
With a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, Sai Diao Chan slowly spoke: "As far as I know, there is a divine doctor in Guangyang Mansion who has developed a pair of perfect tonic soups, which can enhance internal strength after taking it, and can save a lot of time for penance and boiling. ”
Hearing that it can increase his strength, Jiang Yi suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Sai Diao Chan nodded: "I specifically asked someone, and there will be no mistake." ”
Then, she prescribed another condition: "However, as far as I know, the main medicine of this Ten Perfection Tonic Soup is a thousand-year-old ginseng, and the auxiliary medicines are also extremely precious and difficult to find elixirs, I am afraid that it will cost a huge amount of more than a thousand taels of silver, Jiang Gongzi, you should not have so much money, right?" ”
More than a thousand taels!
Jiang Yi's heart sank, and he calculated his net worth, and after touching the corpse several times, he had only accumulated more than 100 taels of silver until now.
As for the tea and egg business, it is just enough for his usual expenses, and he can't save much money.
Sai Diao Chan said again: "I know that Jiang Gongzi is a rare talent who knows a lot of overseas food practices.
As long as you join Yi Hong Restaurant and develop a few signature dishes for me, I will buy you a perfect tonic soup, what do you think? ”
During this time, Sai Diao Chan inquired about the details of everyone in the Tongfu Inn and knew Jiang Yi's title of "overseas gourmet".
I believe that with Jiang Yi's help, he will continue to launch a variety of overseas delicacies and attract customers, which will definitely make the business of Yihong Restaurant go to the next level, and even enter Zuojiazhuang, Shibalipu, and even Guangyang Mansion.
Therefore, she attaches great importance to Jiang Yi, and in order to win him over, she is not stingy and has opened a huge bargaining chip.
Jiang Yi's heart moved, and after pondering for a while, he didn't answer directly, but said: "This matter is very important, I need to think about it for a few days." ”
"This is natural, you think about it, when you think clearly, just come to Yihong Restaurant to find me."
Sai Diao Chan was not in a hurry and said.
