In the tent in the back kitchen, Liu Dahua taught Mrs. Li how to make noodles, and in order to achieve the same taste as the recipe, they reprocessed it again according to the steps on the recipe.

Suddenly, Liu Dahua seemed to smell the smell of burning, and she followed the smell of burnt to the outside of the tent.

When she came to the outside of the tent, she saw the fire outside the tent, and she screamed a few times and hurriedly went back to ask for the bucket to fill the water to extinguish the fire.

When she panicked to fill the water, she found that the barrel had a big hole, and she picked up the other barrels and looked at them several times, and found that they were still damaged.

Aunt Li looked back at her frightened eyes suspiciously, only to find that the tent was on fire all around.

The flames had spread into the tent, and she ran out in a panic with Liu Dahua.

"Run, Big Flower."

Liu Dahua's head was blank in a hurry, and she followed Aunt Li out of the tent quickly.

The two went outside the tent and shouted for nearby villagers to come and put out the fire, but no one responded to the shouting.

"What's wrong? Everyone went out into the fields. Liu Mazi came in a hurry.

Liu Guoqing followed Liu Mazi and looked at the back kitchen, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Oh my God, put out the fire." ”

"Oops, such a fire." Liu Mazi and Liu Guoqing glanced at each other, poured the wooden bucket filled with water on the flames, and then covered their mouths and noses and entered the tent.

The two of them groped in the fog, and when they saw the manual on the stove, they happily stepped forward to put it in their arms, and took a few fish before going out to hide their eyes.

The two men ran from the tent in the dark with the fish in their hands, coughing and holding the fish.

"It was so choking in there, we only took a few fish out." Liu Guoqing bent down and gasped for breath, while holding the fish in front of Liu Dahua and Aunt Li.

Liu Dahua and Aunt Li looked at each other, snatched the fish without mistake, and lifted the wooden barrel beside them.

The villagers who were working in the fields all returned to the camp to check the situation when they saw the smoke, and everyone looked around suspiciously when they saw the back kitchen still sparkling.

Liu Mazi took advantage of the situation and said loudly, "You guys are really, you can catch fire when you cook well, it's true." ”

"No, the fire is clearly burning outside."

The villagers gathered around the back kitchen to inspect, and everyone looked at the black tree trunks with white smoke in front of them and talked in confusion.

Liu Mazi and Liu Guoqing wanted everyone to praise their heroic deeds, but after seeing the villagers studying the pile of charred branches, the two of them secretly left the back kitchen without even washing their faces, and ran towards the trail.

Liu Dahua, who was fetching water from the well, tilted her head and looked at the two who disappeared on the path, she put down the bucket, leaned over and muttered a few words to Aunt Li.

Aunt Li stared at her eyes in surprise and nodded again and again, "You watch here, I'll report the news." ”

With that, she took off her bib and trotted down the path.

In the Qiaoliju store, Shopkeeper Wang covered his nose in disgust and stayed away from Liu Mazi and Liu Guoqing.

"You two go wash first."

Liu Mazi and Liu Guoqing didn't look at each other, and neither of them wanted to leave, for fear that the other party would swallow the one thousand taels of silver privately.

"Later, you give me the money, and we will naturally wash it." Liu Mazi smiled and put the recipe on the table.

Shopkeeper Wang walked away from the two of them in disgust, looked at the recipe on the table, he flipped through the recipe with a cigarette stick in his hand, and looked on tiptoe.

Then he waved his hand impatiently to signal the guards around him to bring the recipe closer.

The guards erected the recipe and flipped through a few pages in front of the king's shopkeeper.

"Looking at the notes above, it should be a recipe for clever living." The shopkeeper waved his hand to signal the guards to put down.

Liu Mazi and Liu Guoqing hugged each other excitedly when they heard this, rubbing their hands and waiting for the shopkeeper Wang to hand over the one thousand taels of silver.

Shopkeeper Wang walked in front of the two of them in two steps, knocked on the table and said, "It seems to be, but we also need to make a few dishes and try the taste to be sure." ”

"How long will that take?" Liu Mazi made a vigilant face when he heard this, and reached out to pull the recipe back in front of him.

Seeing this, Liu Guoqing closed the recipe and put it on his waist.

Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but laugh when he watched the movements of the two, "What? Reluctant to sell? If you don't want to, forget it, I dare say that no one in the entire city of Xin'an would dare to buy this cookbook. ”

After saying that, he made a gesture to get up and leave, his eyes shining brightly.

Liu Mazi's eyes rolled, and he felt that what the shopkeeper Wang said was right, the whole Xin'an City where the world could pay 1,000 taels of silver to buy this recipe had no one else except the shopkeeper Wang.

Although the shopkeeper Huang of Yanji Tavern is a food and drinker, he has a great relationship with Xu Xiaoxiao, and if he gives it to him, he is afraid that it will be a dead end.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out the recipe from Liu Guoqing's waist and put it on the table, and pushed it in front of the shopkeeper Wang.

"Shopkeeper Wang, children are not sensible, don't be surprised, just sit casually, we can afford to wait."

After speaking, he pulled Liu Guoqing to sit on the chair, showing his black teeth with a smile.

Shopkeeper Wang spat out white smoke, picked up the recipe and threw it to the chef next to him, "Take a look, and then make a few dishes casually." ”

Chef Wu took the recipe and flipped through a few pages with a serious expression, then leaned over and left.

After about half a cup of tea, Chef Wu took two plates of hot dishes and put them in front of the shopkeeper.

The drowsy Liu Mazi and Liu Guoqing immediately became energetic when they smelled the vegetables, and the two looked at the celery fried beef and braised pork ribs in front of them with bright eyes.

The shopkeeper squinted and leaned over to pick up the chopsticks and flipped over the beef in front of him, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, the beef melted in his mouth, and the fragrant juice wrapped the original taste of the meat.

Liu Mazi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, looked at the shopkeeper Wang and chewed intoxicated, his throat was dry instantly, he had to pick up the tea beside him and drink water while watching the dishes on the plate to satisfy his hunger.

Liu Guoqing was also glowing with scarlet light, staring dryly at the dishes on the table, and he muttered quietly, "Dad, I'm so hungry." ”

"Don't worry, wait for a thousand taels to arrive, and you can eat whatever you want." Liu Mazi licked the corners of his mouth, and the more he thought about it, the more excited/excited he said.

In less than a moment, the shopkeeper Wang swept away the two dishes on the table, he touched his stomach unsatisfied, and looked at Liu Mazi and Liu Guoqing, who originally wanted to let Chef Wu fry two more portions.

He hiccuped and pulled out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom, he licked his fingers, carefully counted the silver tickets in his hand, and then pushed them in front of the two of them when he counted to ten.

"Count them."

Liu Mazi and Liu Guoqing were excited when they heard this, and they counted several times one after another, and after confirming that it was correct, they hurriedly got up and bowed to the shopkeeper Wang.

"Shopkeeper Wang, if there is anything you need our help with in the future, just say."

The shopkeeper Wang held a cigarette gun in his hand, spat out white smoke, waved his hand disdainfully, and got up impatiently and walked to the second floor.

Liu Mazi and Liu Guoqing flattened their mouths after looking at each other, and spat disdainfully at the back of the shopkeeper Wang, and then the two walked away excitedly.

Shopkeeper Wang went up to the second floor and walked into the private room, and saw that Shopkeeper Wu was making tea on the tea party, he sat on the opposite side, picked up a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.

Shopkeeper Wu elegantly held the palm-sized teacup of the king shopkeeper and poured the tea, "Why are you so angry?" ”

"You're hiding here and drinking tea, but I'm going to face those two lowly refugees outside." When the shopkeeper Wang thought of Liu Mazi, the two felt acid reflux in their stomachs, and they took another sip of tea irritably.

Shopkeeper Wu chuckled a few times, "The people who arranged it have already laid an ambush, and they will help you out." ”

The shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but feel a little less bored at the thought of the lost silver taels, and no one in this Xin'an city could easily take the silver taels from him.

"By the way, did the master explain anything?" He suddenly remembered the letter sent from the capital some time ago.

Shopkeeper Wu put down the teapot and elegantly took the teacup and drank it lightly, "Now the capital is in turmoil, and the court is clamoring to disagree with the abolition of the prince, and the master asked us to go to Beijing to help as soon as possible." ”

"The prince, to put it bluntly, is a puppet of the royal family, why don't you abolish it." Shopkeeper Wu sneered a few times and shook his head again and again.

They have experienced several court times, and they have long been accustomed to the affairs of the court, if it weren't for the master's ambition to be the emperor, this world would have been the master's long time ago.

It was the emperor's turn to be rampant, not to mention that Chu Qing, if Chu Qing knew their real age, he would have called them grandfather.
