Chapter 14: Delicious Dishes
Xiang Qingxi, who said goodbye to Li Qingzhao and returned to his room, couldn't hold back his excitement, and shouted loudly, "Ah!" and shook his fist into the air.
"What's the matter, Qingxi, are you in the room?" Liu Shengnan, who had just entered the villa, heard Xiang Qingxi shouting in the room, so he knocked on the door and asked.
Xiang Qingxi opened the door and asked Liu Shengnan with a smile, "Do you like to read Li Qingzhao's poems?"
"I like it, I like her most about the dotted lips, lonely and deep boudoir, lonely and deep boudoir, and a thousand strands of tenderness. Cherish the spring and go. A few points to urge the rain of flowers. But does this have anything to do with your nonsense?" It seems that Li Qingzhao, a talented woman, is the idol of many people.
"Hehe, I dreamed just now, I dreamed of her. Katsuo, it's Thursday today, and I'll go to work next week. Is it okay?" Xiang Qingxi walked out of the room and asked Liu Shengnan about work, he just asked for leave as soon as he went to work, and he couldn't say where to put it, because there was something tomorrow, so he had to open his mouth again to ask for leave.
"I didn't go out to do errands and still want to ask for leave? Liu Shengnan pretended to be angry.
"Ahh Xiang Qingxi lowered his body by half and smiled, making his expression even more cute.
Liu Shengnan covered his mouth and laughed. "Hehe, tease you, but tonight you have to make a meal as delicious as yesterday, and I'll grant you leave!"
"Order, please!" Xiang Qingxi ran into the kitchen and began his career as a chef tonight.
Early the next morning, Xiang Qingxi got up at five o'clock on time and finished washing. I walked into the courtyard and started to play Tai Chi, and the surrounding air was driven as if there was a substance in Tai Chi, and it was very comfortable to fight. It's a stinky sweat again, this Tai Chi is getting easier and easier, although I don't know what the ultimate of Tai Chi looks like, but if you continue to fight like this, there should be no problem with prolonging life.
This morning, the main goal of Xiang Qingxi's plan is to go to the Chinese medicine wholesale market to see what other seeds there are, which Yutu specially explained, as long as it is a medicinal material, it can be planted in the medicine garden. Therefore, Xiang Qingxi set the target for this morning at the Chinese medicine wholesale market.
As soon as you enter the wholesale market, the strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine comes to your nose, this market not only wholesales Chinese herbal medicine, but also processes and boils Chinese medicine on behalf of others, so the market is full of Chinese medicine flavor, you can see the white vapor of boiling Chinese medicine wafting out from a few shops, sweet, bitter, sour, astringent various flavors are mixed together, as if entering the Chinese medicine sanna bath, inhaling can also make people refreshed. Xiang Qingxi walked along the shop one by one, and really let him collect a lot of seeds of Chinese herbal medicine.
In fact, Xiang Qingxi also wanted to see if it was planted on the rootless soil, and then irrigated by the sourceless water, would there be wonderful changes, in case of accident, as the Jade Rabbit said, all the fruits of the level may become the spirit level, if these herbs grow into even if they are heaven-level, Xuan-level, it is also a rare treasure on the earth.
According to Yutu, the thousand-year-old ginseng is the lower grade of the Xuan-level, and it is a treasure that can hang his life, except for the ginseng that grows in the divine beads, and the ginseng grows in the divine beads for a thousand years, and the Jade Rabbit does not dare to say what quality it is.
Xiang Qingxi came with hope, like Sanqi, Angelica, and other common ones have been collected, and some other unpopular ones, such as snakeberry, He Shou Wu, Dilong, etc., have also collected some, but because there is little money left in his pocket, Xiang Qingxi, who has become completely poor, went home.
The tossing in the morning did not make Xiang Qingxi feel a little tired, but hunger came as scheduled, and Manager Zhou also needed to prepare beef in the afternoon, so he was ready to enter Zhenyuan Prefecture through the time and space gate again. After Xiang Qingxi locked the door in the room and entered the Shenzhu, he saw that in the field where the cabbage was planted, good guy, each of these cabbages was so perfect, white as jade stems, dark green as green leaves, and every cabbage was like carved out of jade, growing there, like a work of art.
"Jade Rabbit, Jade Rabbit, what level does this cabbage count if it is according to the grade?" Xiang Qingxi asked intently as he looked at the cabbage he had just plucked.
"It's not a good thing, at most it's a mid-grade earth-level, that radish can grow into a heaven-level lower grade, and it was a delicious thing when I didn't ascend to the heavenly realm, and now I'm too lazy to look at it, can you get some good things? This is a holy soil irrigated with sourceless water, don't you think it's a waste if you get these garbage to grow them? These things are like weeds in my eyes now." You can get something like ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and the like, and there is still a little growth value, at least there is room for growth, where is the limit of these cabbage radishes, what is the use of planting them?" Yutu said complainingly, pointing to the small piece of ginseng that was worth growing ginseng.
"Can that ginseng grow to the holy level?" Xiang Qingxi hurriedly asked.
"Holy level? What are you being a holy level, is there garbage everywhere? The ginseng that has grown here for 10,000 years should be the limit if it can reach the top grade of the spirit level. The little jade rabbit glanced at Xiang Qingxi cutely, and jumped to the side to get its flowers and plants.
"Tutu, what do you think of these things?" As he spoke, Xiang Qingxi took out the seeds he had bought at the Chinese herbal medicine market in the morning.
"Huh?" the little jade rabbit swooped and returned to Xiang Qingxi's side. "Well, these are so-so, although the value of ginseng is not as high, but the growth period is not so long, and it can barely be used to make Xuan-level pills after maturity. Not bad. The little jade rabbit jumped away with the seed in her arms.
Entering the remote corner of Zhenyuan Prefecture through the space-time gate again, he went straight to Changqing Building, the most popular restaurant in Zhenyuan Prefecture, with cabbage in his arms, but unfortunately this hottest restaurant is not in vain, and this meal is really overcrowded at noon, and there is no seat. It seems that this popular hotel is not only in the modern waiting position, but also full in ancient times.
Xiang Qingxi didn't wait stupidly in Changqing Building, and went straight to the Tingfeng Tavern where he had dinner last time, but on the way, he saw a thin young man carrying a package and walking in a hurry. "Li Qingzhao?" Xiang Qingxi shouted, only to see that the guy looked up, isn't this Li Qingzhao, but the black ash on his face and hands is gone, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
"What, are you leaving here?" asked Xiang Qingxi.
"Yes, why are you here?" Li Qingzhao said when he saw that it was Xiang Qingxi.
Xiang Qingxi knew that he had scared her yesterday, so he had to explain again, "I really wasn't sent by your father. If it were, I wouldn't have let you go yesterday. Isn't it?"
"Really?" Li Qingzhao still looked at Xiang Qingxi in disbelief.
"What's the good of lying to you? Don't you have to eat yet, even if you're in a hurry, right?" So, in order to make amends, I invite you to eat something delicious, how about it?" Xiang Qingxi shook the cabbage in his hand and said.
Li Qingzhao was right when he heard it, and he had to eat in a hurry, but after seeing the delicate cabbage in Xiang Qingxi's hand, he didn't leave anymore and said, "Oh, that's fine, then I'll accompany the little brother to have some wine and dinner." "Walk with Xiang Qingxi to listen to the wind.
In this way, the two walked into the Tingfeng Tavern again, the long thin shop guy was a lovely person, and his memory was quite good, maybe it was because Xiang Qingxi gave enough tips yesterday, so as soon as Xiang Qingxi entered the Tingfeng Tavern today, the skinny shop guy hurriedly ran over, took the cabbage in Xiang Qingxi's hand and asked, "Uncle, you are here again, what are you two doing today?"
"Okay beef and mutton, you can go up, the Baifen wine in your store will give me four corners, and help me make this cabbage, just slip the vinegar for a while." Xiang Qingxi pointed to the cabbage in the man's hand.
"Okay, you two sit down first, come right away!" said the skinny fellow and walked away with the cabbage.
After a while, beef and mutton and other dishes were brought together, along with a pot of Fenjiu. Xiang Qingxi poured a glass for Li Qingzhao, filled a glass himself, put down the wine jug, picked up the wine glass and said to Li Qingzhao, "Li ...... Brother, you may not know your achievements in the future, but in a few years, you will be famous all over the country...... So, I'd like to toast you. Come on, do it!" Xiang Qingxi paused when talking about his brother, although he knew that Li Qingzhao was his daughter, he didn't break it.
Li Qingzhao shook his head and said with a smile, "Little brother is really ......!" Li Qingzhao, who grew up in SD since childhood, is a daughter, but she is also very bold by nature. Seeing Xiang Qingxi toasting to him, he didn't twist it, so he raised his glass and took a sip.
"You escaped from home?" said Xiang Qingxi, putting down his wine glass.
"Yes, my father is going to marry me off to a half-old man. Li Qingzhao's face suddenly darkened.
"Oh, I'm half old, I can't get married. So where have you stayed all the way?" Xiang Qingxi remembered her shabby appearance when he first saw Li Qingzhao.
"Well, at first I had some silver taels, but I had never traveled far away, and I didn't know how to make a living, and now I have almost no money. Li Qingzhao lowered his head and played with the wine glass in his hand.
At this moment, an incomparable fragrance wafted in, and in a short time it spread throughout the tavern.
"What's so good?" said the other diners in the tavern.
"Yes, boss, what kind of dish is this? It's so fragrant, isn't it?" someone couldn't help but cry out.
Li Qingzhao couldn't help but turn his head to find the source of the smell when he smelled the aroma of the vegetables, "Yes, it smells so fragrant." ”
"Hehe, I told you to eat something delicious. Xiang Qingxi said with a smile.
At this moment, the thin man lifted the curtain of the kitchen and came out with a plate of vinegared cabbage. As the guy moved, the fragrance that couldn't be resisted immediately spread around. The diners in the tavern all stared at the dish in the man's hand until it was placed on Xiang Qingxi's table.
"Boss, don't you have no vegetable supply? Why do they have, can't we afford to give money?" a hot-tempered diner slapped the table, and was not happy at the time.
"Yes, yes, isn't our silver silver?" This hot-tempered question resonated with everyone, and they all followed suit.
The chubby shopkeeper saw this posture, asked the reason, and hurriedly ran forward, raised his hand, and said loudly, "Everyone, everyone, I'm sorry, there is really no vegetable supply in this store, this cabbage was brought by this guest officer himself, and it was processed by us." ”
"Then are there any leftover dishes? Give me a plate too, and I'll give you a tael of silver, uncle." A martial arts person in a strong suit drank.
"yes, it tastes so good, I'll have a copy too. I'll make two taels of silver. Someone started it, and immediately someone screamed.
"We want it, and we want it. Silver is not a thing. "There was a commotion in the tavern again.
The shopkeeper had never encountered such a situation, but it did not affect him to make a quick decision, and said loudly again, "Everyone, be quiet, I'll ask this brother and give you an answer!" After speaking, he ignored others and came directly to Xiang Qingxi's table.
