Chapter 22: Someone in Distress

Day 2.

Yesterday in the inn, I heard that the Baixianglou here has launched a new wine called Jianlu, and there is no bad review from anyone who has drunk this wine, so Qin Wei has been thinking about tasting it.

"I heard that customers have to spend ten taels of silver in Baixianglou before they can order Jianlu. And the stock of Jianlu is limited, each table is limited to a small altar, but because of its reputation, more and more people go to taste Jianlu, it is said that the guests who go to Baixianglou have lined up for 50 meters long, fortunately, I let Mo Jie go to the queue early. ……”

Qin Wei said as he walked along the way, full of expectations for Jianlu. But she found that Lu Qianmo didn't react at all when she said all the way, and when she looked back, she saw that the other party was a foot away from her, and she kept staring at the small porcelain bottle in her hand thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Qin Wei walked back towards Lu Qianmo, pointed to the small porcelain bottle in the other party's hand and asked, "Mo'er, what are you thinking?" What is this, and why are you staring at it? ”

Lu Qianmo came back to her senses when she heard Qin Wei's voice, but saw the other party looking at her with a puzzled face. "Huh? What did you say? ”

Uh~ Qin Wei ...... "I mean, what are you thinking?" A thoughtful look. If we're separated, you don't know. ”

Lu Qianmo was a little sorry, "I'm just thinking about something, and I'm thinking about it." ”

Qin Wei looked at the small porcelain bottle in Lu Qianmo's hand and asked curiously, "What's in this?" ”

"Antidote."

Qin was slightly startled and asked anxiously, "Are you poisoned?" Why didn't you say it earlier! ”

Seeing Qin Wei's surprised and anxious appearance, Lu Qianmo couldn't help but smile and said, "No, it's not me." ”

"That's good, that's good." Qin Wei patted the frightened little heart, it turned out to be a false alarm. "Who's poisoned then?"

Lu Qianmo shook his head and said he didn't know.

Since it wasn't Mo'er who was poisoned, she didn't know who the poisoned person was, but she had an antidote, stumped? "Did you drug someone else?"

Lu Qianmo bowed slightly, indicating that the other party had guessed correctly.

"When you went to Wind Howling Sword Village?" Qin Wei continued to speculate. After coming to Shifang City, thinking about it, Mo'er was most likely to have drugged someone else when she went to Fengxiao Sword Village.

"Hmm."

"So are you wondering who the other party is?"

"Yes. It's a pity that I have no clue and can't guess. "Lu Qianmo is a little lost." However, I have asked Murong to pay attention to the situation of the major pharmacies in Shifang City recently, hoping to find some clues from them. ”

"That's all there is to it." After speaking, he took Lu Qianmo's hand and said as he walked: "Since you can't think of it, don't think about it for the time being, let's go quickly, lest Mo Jie wait for a long time." ”

Seeing Qin Wei's anxious appearance, Lu Qianmo smiled lightly, "It's you who are anxious and want to taste Jianlu." ”

"I know I don't want to go quickly."

……

"Wow~ Wouldn't this be too exaggerated." Lu Qianmo said in surprise. Because the two of them hadn't yet reached Baixiang Building, they found that the queue was endless.

"Yesterday I heard that the length of the team was 50 meters, but now it is more than 50 meters." Qin Wei looked at the neat team dumbfounded.

"Is this Jianlu really that delicious?" Lu Qianmo was puzzled.

"You'll know if you're gone, let's go."

The two walked all the way from the end of the team to the door of Baixiang Building and didn't see Mo Jie's figure, it was estimated that he was already in Baixiang Building, so the two wanted to go in directly to find someone. But as soon as the two wanted to step in, they were stopped by the shopkeeper.

"Two sons, the business of Baixianglou has been booming in the past two days, and the seats are full, if the two of you want to dine in Baixianglou, please wait in line like everyone." The shopkeeper blocked the way of the two, and his tone was very kind.

"Little Er, we know that if we want to enter Baixiang Building now, we need to queue up, and we will come in order. However, we have already had people line up first, and we should already be in the Baixiang Building at this moment. Qin Wei explained.

"If that's the case, the two sons can enter now. I just don't know, do the two sons know what floor your people are on? Which location? ”

"I don't know. But won't you lead us in and look for it? ”

"This~" The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, there are not a few people who have lied that there are seats in the past two days, and it will be bad if they refuse to come out after bringing people in.

Lu Qianmo saw the shopkeeper's thoughts, and said, "If you are embarrassed, you can go and find it for us first, and it is not too late to take us in after confirming with that person." ”

Seeing that the other party was so reasonable, the shopkeeper readily agreed. "I wonder what the characteristics of that guest officer are?"

"His surname is Mo, and he is also a son, more than eight feet tall, dressed in dark green clothes, and has a black mole at the end of his left eye. You just said that Wei Gongzi was looking for him. ”

"The surname is Mo, more than eight feet tall, dressed in dark green clothes, and there is a black mole at the end of the left eye." The shopkeeper repeated the characteristics described by Lu Qianmo to make sure that he remembered it. "Please also ask the two sons to wait here, and the younger one will come back soon."

Soon, the shopkeeper returned enthusiastically and took the two to a corner on the second floor, where Mo Jie was waiting.

"Brother Mo." Lu Qianmo saw Mo Jie calling.

Although the Pavilion Master had called himself this way before, he still couldn't get used to it. "Wei Gongzi, Qin Gongzi, please take a seat." I remember that the shopkeeper came to report just now that Wei Gongzi was looking for him, so he called it that.

"What do the three guests want to eat?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Serve a few of your best dishes, a Jianlu, and a pot of tea and a pot of water."

"Okay!"

Lu Qianmo said with a smile: "With such a grand occasion, Murong shouldn't be happy over there." He didn't expect Jiang Yiyi to come prepared, according to the grievances between the two, how could he accept that he lost to the other party.

"I think the worst thing to do is Boss Yu." Qin Wei disagreed, Murong was unhappy, and others would be unlucky.

"That's right." Lu Qianmo agreed with Qin Wei's statement, Murong would definitely find an opportunity to find Yu Yang to vent his anger.

"But~" Mo Jie interrupted the conversation between the two, "When I first lined up, I heard a lot of people say that they want to go to the Taste Building. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qianmo's big eyes turned around twice, and said, "It seems that we missed something." ”

"I heard passers-by say that it seems that there is some kind of chef in the taste building. It is said that he just entered Shifang City this morning, and he was in charge of the restaurant at noon for five days. Mo Jie heard everything he heard, and if it weren't for his lack of skill, he would definitely go and see what was going on.

"Oh, I remember, there were people talking about it on the way here just now, but we were too anxious to come to Baixianglou and didn't pay attention." Qin Wei remembered that there were indeed many people on the street talking about the chef just now, and many people were going in the direction of the taste building.

Chef? New to Shifang? The chef who can make such a noise is ...... It's just that how could he be willing to be in charge of the taste building for five days? Don't......

"Oh, Mo'er, don't think about it. We'll have a look later, but let's enjoy a wine tasting with peace of mind. ”

"Okay." Anyway, this person has been traveling for half a year, and he hasn't eaten the dishes he made for half a year, and now he thinks that the people in the taste building may be him, and he has already begun to be greedy, but he is not happy today.

……

Soon, the shopkeeper brought the food up. Of course, there is also the sword lu that Qin Wei has in mind.

"Cumin lamb chops, bamboo beef brisket, osmanthus fish, stir-fried lotus pond, mixed sauce. These are the specialties of our store, and I hope the three guests like it. "The shopkeeper introduced the name of the dish one by one, and then placed a small stove, a jar of wine, and a brocade box on the table." There is also a new signature liquor of our store, Jianlu. Although it is summer, the warm Jianlu has the best taste, and the brocade box is the newly picked plum last winter, and it has another flavor when it is boiled in Jianlu. Of course, you can also choose to drink it directly. ”

"Wow, I said why there was a small stove on every table, which was originally used to warm wine." Qin Wei exclaimed after listening to the introduction of the shopkeeper.

"Guest officer, please use it slowly, and the small ones will retire first." The shop is small and two-way.

Lu Qianmo noticed that the size of the Jianlu wine jar used for each table was different, and the store provided the amount of wine according to the number of people to ensure that everyone could taste a certain amount of Jianlu. The amount of no more and no less, presumably in order to allow customers to taste the right amount of Jianlu, but also to maximize its supply to the most customers. For this practice, Lu Qianmo expressed his appreciation, as for the problem of customers making trouble because they want to taste more Jianlu, Baixianglou does not have to worry about it at all. Baixianglou is the industry of the Dark Pavilion, ordinary people don't dare to make trouble at all, and powerful people will not easily make enemies of the Dark Pavilion, let alone for a mere jar of wine, even if it is good, it is not worth facing the Dark Pavilion for it.

After some discussion, the three of them decided to try each way to drink it, and what was the difference between tasting and tasting it. Qin Wei lifted the lid, and a faint aroma of wine came to his nose. Qin Wei's eyes were slightly closed, feeling the elegant aroma of Jianlu, and the aroma of wine was around the nose, refreshing people's hearts. The entrance of Jianlu is slightly sweet, such as drinking nectar, and the six gods send coolness. Jianlu is warm and drinkable, but it is soft and sweet, plump and mellow. Add plum to boil, the plum fragrance penetrates, and the fragrance of Jianlu itself fuses to form a unique fragrance, just like the plum blossom in the bamboo leaf green, which is wonderful. And the most beautiful thing about Jianlu is that whether it is refreshing, soft, or mellow, it seems to have reached the best, giving wine tasters the most extreme experience, presumably this is the reason why he is really popular.

"It's really good wine." Qin Wei raised his glass to comment. "But I always feel like it could be better."

Mo Jie played with the wine glass in his hand and muttered, "Well, I feel this way when I drink, although it is more than ten times better than the wine I have drunk before. ”

"Maybe it did get taken out early." Lu Qianmo guessed. "It seems a little out of place to do something as elegant as plum blossom boiled sake in a restaurant." Perhaps the original intention of the winemakers was not to buy and sell.

"Mo'er has a point. But whatever, it's a great blessing to be able to taste the best of the wine today. If it hadn't been opened and sold in advance, maybe we wouldn't have tasted the best of the sword. ”

"Well, that makes sense." Mo Jie agreed with Qin Wei's opinion, it also depends on luck to be able to taste Jianlu, for example, Mo Yan doesn't have this opportunity, and when he comes back from southern Xinjiang, he will definitely envy him.

"Okay, don't just worry about Jianlu, these are Baixianglou's specialty dishes, they must taste good, eat them." Cumin lamb chops, I can't help but swallow saliva when I look at it.

"Didn't you say that there was a chef in the Taste Building? After eating so much, how will you go to the taste building to eat? "When I tasted Jianlu, Qin Wei still wanted to go to the taste building, so I didn't order so much if I knew it.

"Don't think about it today, if it's really as everyone said, we will have to wait in line for a long time now, it's a waste of time, you can rest assured that you will eat and drink here to your heart's content." Lu Qianmo interrupted Qin Wei's thoughts. Gave the other party a piece of lamb chop and continued: "Besides, if you guess correctly, we have eaten a lot of this chef's dishes. ”

Have we eaten? Not a lot? "You mean......" Qin Wei was very surprised, could it be ......

Lu Qianmo bowed his head and said that the other party guessed correctly.

"How is it possible, how can he be willing to be in charge of the Taste Building for five days?" It's incredible, it's so unlike his person.

Lu Qianmo shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know, as if he had no intention of teasing: "Who knows what secret there is between him and Murong." ”

Qin Wei secretly thought that she also wanted to know the secret that could make Fang Bihua succumb, so that she could also use it to blackmail the other party to cook for herself, haha~ You must find a way to find out the secret from Murong, so that you can save a lot of money.

Seeing Qin Wei's evil smile, Lu Qianmo and Mo Jie didn't have to think about it to know what she was thinking, although they didn't say it directly, but they expressed absolute support for Qin Wei's idea in their hearts. Lu Qianmo just deliberately said that sentence that seemed to be unintentionally ridiculous, and now the goal has been achieved.

Half an hour later, after the three of them came out of the Baixiang Building, Mo Jie said goodbye to the two on the street, but in fact, he resumed his identity as a secret guard and disappeared in the shadows.

Taste Building and Baixiang Building are separated by two streets, and Lu Qianmo and Qin Wei walked to their destination at the speed of a walk after dinner. Standing at the door of the Taste Building to see the queue has no end in sight, this formation is on par with Baixiang Building, but it is said that the stock of Jianlu is limited, and I don't know if it can hold against the Taste Building for five days.

Seeing the notice posted in front of the Taste Building, it turned out that Fang Bihua was really here. The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, Fang Bihua was going to be tired today. No, it should be that they are going to be tired for five days, but how can they feel a little gloating? Hahahaha~

A sweaty chef who was busy in the back kitchen of the Taste Building suddenly had his eyelids beating constantly. The chef frowned, his heart was not good, this wouldn't be some kind of bad luck, right? God, it's sad enough to sell coolies for Murong Ze's kid for five days for free, don't let me touch my head again! Don't!
