Chapter 393: Buying a Cookbook
When Li Mu joined the armed petition team of Quan Bingwei and his entourage, in a mansion in Dagen, several people were also discussing something.
"It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, you have to crush all those who stand up against it." A fat man with a paper fan stood in the center of the room and said, kneeling on either side of several samurai with long swords at their waists.
Suddenly, a ninja dressed in blue ran in from outside and knelt in front of the fat man.
"What's wrong, what's going on?" The fat man said unhappily.
The ninja leaned into the fat man's ear and whispered softly.
"What? Those untouchables actually want to skip the level and petition? These untouchables will play these little tricks. The fat man tilted his head disdainfully and then continued to say to the people below, "The financial plans I have planned must be completed as planned, and I must not let these pariahs make me lose face." These untouchables who have committed rebellion will be handed over to you to deal with, and you must get rid of them quietly, without leaving any trouble, and if you don't have enough manpower, go to those ronins, and you must get rid of these untouchables completely. β
"Yes." Several samurai bowed their heads in response.
While the people of Εne were secretly discussing how to eradicate the rebels who were armed and petitioning such as Gonbei, Li Mu and the others also embarked on the journey to Edo. When he had just walked to the entrance of the village, Li Mu suddenly saw a merchant carrying a flat burden walking towards everyone. So he stepped forward and said, "Hey, what do you have here?" β
The merchant put down his burden, wiped his sweat, and said, "I have all kinds of ingredients and cooking books here, do you need anything?" It's all very fresh, and a lot of it was just picked up this morning. β
The merchant saw that Li Mu was well-dressed and looked like a rich man, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said.
"Well, take it out and show me." Li Mu said to the merchant.
"Okay, wait a minute." The merchant opened the box he was carrying, and most of the boxes in front of him contained various cookbooks. Li Mu then picked up a copy, and then silently let the system identify it.

Li Mu nodded, one of the purposes of his coming to this world was to collect these cooking books. With the methods recorded in these cooking books, even ordinary ingredients can be used to make foods that increase attributes, so wouldn't it be possible to increase even more if they are made with ingredients rich in aura that he specially cultivated, so that his accumulated advantages will become greater and greater, and the growth of physical fitness will also leave those gamers far behind.
Li Mu rummaged through the merchant's box and found that they were all such books, so he decisively said to the merchant, "I want all these books of yours." β
"Ah, really?" The merchant was very excited when he heard this, if he sold all these books, then he would be able to make a lot of money, and the usual big families were not so generous, they all bought one or two copies, and the people who bought them all at once were probably only those rich merchants or daimyo with a lot of money could do it.
"Guest, do you want to take a look at the ingredients here, they are all very fresh, and if you buy a cooking book, it will definitely be a great addition to these ingredients." I have hand-picked these ingredients, and I will never discredit these cookbooks. The merchant opened another box, and sure enough, it contained some fresh vegetables and all kinds of dried goods.
Li Mu carefully selected it, and found that the merchant was indeed true, these ingredients were very clean and tidy, and they also contained a faint aura, although they were not as good as those he planted, but they were also rare.
Li Mu nodded, and said to the merchant, "Okay, I want all these things, you can calculate the whole price, and give me the other two boxes, and I will save on finding things to pack." β
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll do the math." The merchant thought about it carefully and then quoted a price.
Li Mu naturally didn't have the currency of this world, but he directly took out a handful of gold coins from his money bag and threw them into the merchant's hand, "This money should be enough for the price, and the extra will be considered a reward for you." β
"Thank you, Guest." The merchant smiled and put the gold coin into his arms, then picked up the flat shoulder and ran away, as if he was afraid that Li Mu would regret it. These gold coins were more than twice the original price, and he was afraid that Li Mu would regret asking for the money back, so he resolutely slipped away.
Li Mu didn't care about this, anyway, for him, gold coins were the most worthless thing, and giving a little more would make other people's lives better. He put the two boxes in his bag, then clapped his hands and returned to the group, "Sorry, I bought a little food, I guess you didn't bring much food with you when you went out, these things should be used as dry food on the way." β
"Well, how did that happen...... Are you a god? Quan Bingwei asked in disbelief as he saw the two large boxes disappear in Li Mu's hands.
"Oh, you said this," a large box appeared in Li Mu's hand, and then disappeared, "It's just a little Dao, there's no fuss, if you can't understand it, it's okay to treat me as an onmyoji." Li Mu said lightly.
"Oh, it turns out that it's still an Onmyoji-sama, it's really disrespectful." Gonbei saluted again, Japan is a rather superstitious country, claiming to have eight million gods, in their eyes, these onmyoji who can communicate with gods and ghosts are much more powerful than ordinary chivalrous samurai, and their status is also much higher.
"It's nothing, let's hurry up and get on the road, it's important to get down to business." Li Mu waved his hand.
"Yes, sir." The guards became more and more respectful, so they led everyone towards the mountain.
The mountains and forests here are still different from those tropical rainforests in the Caribbean, the deciduous and coniferous forests here, the trees are not as dense as the rainforests, and the humidity is not so great, although there are still many poisonous snakes and jackals, but I don't know how much better than the rainforests full of poisonous insects.
Moreover, looking at the weather at this time, it is already autumn, and walking on the forest path full of leaves really has a feeling of autumn air.
However, Quan Bingwei and his party did not appreciate the autumn colors of Yaxing in the forest, firstly, they lived in this neighborhood all the year round and were already a little tired of seeing it, and secondly, they were in the duty of armed petitioning at this time, and they were not in the mood to enjoy the surrounding scenery at all.
The group walked silently on the mountain road in the woods. Not long after entering the mountain, suddenly a shuriken shot out from the depths of the dense forest, shooting straight towards the front door of the right guard.
