The hangover Li Yunji woke up again at noon on the second day, he patted his groggy head, staggered to his feet, smelled the wine on his body, and frowned.

Dragging tired steps out of the Zuiyue Building, Li Yunji came to the door of an inn in Xishi that was on the verge of closure.

Liuxian Pavilion.

The inn is in a good location and well decorated, but the drunken moon building not far away is too eye-catching, and the business is all robbed, and there is something urgent in the boss's family, so the inn has to be sold.

Li Yunji fell in love with this shop yesterday, and went to the drunken moon building to inquire about the dietary preferences of high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and his wishful thinking in his heart was to do a business in the capital and open an inn.

Everyone in the capital knows that whether it is food or a famous prostitute, Zuiyue Lou is definitely a well-deserved first, and even the boss is persuading Li Yunji to find another way.

But Li Yunji said indifferently: "Don't get in the way, I have my own plans." ”

The reason why Li Yunji dared to compete with Zuiyuelou was only because he still had a killer weapon in his hand.

I saw him wave his hand and take down Liuxian Pavilion at a high price of twenty taels of silver, the boss left, but the chef Lao Xie was left by Li Yunji.

As soon as he finished the shop, Li Yunji couldn't wait to pull the chef to the back kitchen, took down a piece of fine mutton, cut it into small pieces, and skewered it on the bamboo skewers he brought.

While stringing, he said to Lao Xie: "Why are you stunned? Hurry up! ”

Lao Xie on the side was a little puzzled when he saw this, so he asked, "What is the owner going to do?" ”

"You'll find out later!" Li Yunji said mysteriously.

Lao Xie, who didn't know why, also started to do the same.

In a few moments, the two of them turned the whole piece of lamb into dozens of skewers of lamb.

Li Yunji took the bucket, poured in the large and small fennel, cloves, cinnamon, peppercorns, plus some dried dogwood, and smashed it with a stone pestle.

Then take some oil and spirits, and pour them into the bowl of lamb to marinate with the spices you have just mashed.

After doing all this, Li Yunji nodded contentedly, while Lao Xie on the side was dumbfounded, looking at the mutton in the basin, his brows furrowed.

In Lao Xie's eyes, Li Yunji was wasting these good mutton, but because of his boss's identity, Lao Xie didn't dare to say anything.

After marinating the mutton, Li Yunji told Lao Xie to buy some charcoal, and then clean the manger in the backyard, and then went to the street alone.

Now that the shop has been settled, it's time to find a place to stay.

On Anren Street, not far from Liuxian Pavilion, Li Yunji came to a house that was being sold.

The house is not big, but it is elegant, the former owner was a showman, and after winning the Jinshi last month, he moved to a bigger house, and the house was empty.

In addition, it was also close to Liuxian Pavilion, so Li Yunji bought it without thinking too much.

When it was time to sign the house deed, Li Yunji simply packed up and returned to Liuxian Pavilion.

Lao Xie had been waiting here for a long time, and he was still following Li Yunji for some unknown reason.

The two worked together to move the manger to the gate, and Li Yunji sat on the stone steps in front of the door, introduced charcoal into it, lit it, and then placed the marinated mutton on the manger to roast.

After a while, the aroma of barbecue comes to your nose.

"Owner, how can this be so fragrant?!" After Lao Xie smelled the fragrance, he pointed to the mutton skewers in Li Yunji's hand and asked with an incredulous expression.

Li Yunji smiled proudly and said, "This is called a skewer, with this thing, you won't be afraid of that drunken moon building!" ”

"Kebabs?" Lao Xie nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Come and have a taste?" Li Yunji said, handing the meat skewer in his hand to Lao Xie.

Lao Xie couldn't wait for a long time, and after saying thank you, he took the meat skewer in Li Yunji's hand, swallowed his saliva fiercely, and then ate it in a big gulp.

Li Yunji looked at Lao Xie expectantly and asked, "How is it?" ”

Lao Xie closed his eyes tightly, savored the barbecue in his mouth, and unconsciously showed a happy expression on his face, and it took a while to slowly open his eyes, and in the corner of his eyes, a tear actually slid down his cheek.

Seeing that Lao Xie didn't speak for a long time, Li Yunji asked anxiously, "What the hell is going on?!" ”

"Delicious! It's so delicious!! I, Xie Zhongyu, have lived for more than 40 years, and I have never eaten anything so delicious! Owner, I have no regrets in my life..."

After hearing this, Li Yunji pretended to be calm and said, "Is it so serious? I have no regrets in this life. ”

And an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

The aroma of barbecue soon spread to the streets and alleys, and the passing crowd all stopped, and within a moment, the front of Liuxian Pavilion was surrounded by water.

"What is it that smells so good?"

"That's right! Why is it so fragrant? ”

"Shopkeeper, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, Li Yunji got up with the skewers and introduced.

"Everyone, listen to me! It's called a skewer! It is the characteristic of our Liuxian Pavilion, pickled in a secret way, the flavor is excellent, and it is the only one in the capital! Each string is only 10 cents! Don't miss it! ”

"Give me a bunch!"

"I want it too!"

"I want five skewers!"

After a while, the skewers were sold out, and when the crowd dispersed, Li Yunji sat down satisfied.

Lao Xie witnessed this grand occasion with his own eyes, and praised repeatedly: "The owner! You're such a god that you can make such delicious dishes, and I was upset about those lambs at first! Now it seems that I was overthinking..."

"Okay, okay, Lao Xie, don't slap my ass! I'll give you the recipe later, and you'll do it later. ”

After hearing this, Lao Xie couldn't believe his ears, as a chef, he knew the importance of the recipe.

Just having a dish that can be used to get a foothold in Shangjing can gain a foothold in Shangjing, so the chef attaches great importance to the recipe of his own unique craftsmanship, and it is impossible to reveal it easily.

But Li Yunji wants to teach him the formula, isn't it crazy?

"Owner, the recipe can't be revealed casually! This is the treasure of your town store! ”

Li Yunji smiled disdainfully and said, "That's it? The treasure of the town? Lao Xie, I will have a lot of dishes, and I will teach you slowly in the future. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Yunji brushed his sleeves and left.

And Lao Xie looked at Li Yunji with a look of adoration and said in a low voice: "What a god." ”

Since Li Yunji taught Lao Xie the recipe for grilled skewers, Liuxian Pavilion's business has improved, and many people have heard the news, Li Yunji has recruited a few hands for Lao Xie, and he has become a shopkeeper, and rarely goes to the store again.

On this day, Su Ling was about to go to Qin Mansion to find Qin Xi'er, and happened to pass by Liuxian Pavilion, seeing that its business was so hot, Su Ling also wanted to try it, so he told Xiaokui to buy a few bunches.

Su Ling came to Qin's mansion with a skewer and couldn't wait to share it with Qin Xi'er.

"Sure enough!" Qin Xi'er praised after taking a bite.

"The skewers don't look great, but they taste delicious!" Su Ling echoed.

"I didn't think there was such a delicacy in Shangjing, why hadn't I heard of it before!"

"Xi'er, don't talk about you, I've eaten all over the capital, but I didn't know that there were such delicacies at my doorstep."

Qin Xi'er smiled and asked, "Then does Her Royal Highness the princess know who created this skewer?" ”

"According to Xiaokui, he is a forty or fifty-year-old chef."

Qin Xi'er nodded suspiciously, because she always felt that where had she seen the bamboo skewers of this skewer...

"By the way, Xi'er, have you seen Li Yunji's stunned man in recent days?"

Qin Xi'er shook her head and said, "As soon as I talk about him, I get angry." ”

Then he told Su Ling everything that happened in the Drunken Moon Tower that day.

After hearing this, Su Ling slapped the table and shouted, "This bastard! I sent someone to kill him! ”

Qin Xi'er, who was startled, hurriedly grabbed Su Ling and comforted: "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't be angry!" I wanted to kill him more than you did, but if I did, my father would have forced me to marry Zhao Li. ”

Su Ling calmed down after hearing this, and said with a distressed face: "Zhao Li? It's better than Li Yunji's fool..."

After hearing this, Qin Xi'er was a little lonely, she didn't expect that her original emergency action would now bring so much trouble to herself, it was really providential.

Su Ling saw that Qin Xi'er was a little depressed, and said anxiously: "Xi'er, it's not a way to go on like this!" If you really have a sweetheart, then it's okay, I'll go and intercede with my father and give you a marriage. ”

"But don't talk about your sweetheart now, you don't even have a catch-eye."

Speaking of this, Su Ling saw that Qin Xi'er's expression had changed a little, it was her best friend, Su Ling immediately noticed that there must be something strange in it, so she asked, "You won't, you have a sweetheart, right?" ”

Facing Su Ling's questioning, Qin Xi'er said helplessly: "What do you want, Your Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"People don't know you, don't I know you yet? You're not going to hide it from me, are you? ”

Seeing Su Ling's relentless pursuit, Qin Xi'er said thoughtfully: "I'm just a little curious about what kind of person he is. ”

When Su Ling heard Qin Xi'er say this, he asked in surprise, "Who is the son?" Can I be curious? ”

"All I know is that his name is my aunt."

"Sister-in-law? There is no surname Gu among the rich children in Shangjing, how do you know about him? ”

Qin Xi'er glanced at Su Ling and said, "The case of the destruction of the door of the He Mansion last time was actually solved by my sister-in-law!" According to Jiang Kui, Gu Gongzi is his former colleague, and that's all I know. ”

"No wonder even you can remember him, this person is not simple."

"Check! Check it out for me right away! I want to see where this aunt is sacred, and he can make the dignified Dali Temple Shaoqing hang on his lips?! ”

"Your Royal Highness, don't make fun of me! I've said it all, I'm just curious how he solved that unsolved case! ”

Su Ling was a little disappointed after hearing this, thinking that Qin Xi'er had finally found the person she liked, but she didn't expect it to be for the case.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, in Qin Xi'er's eyes, the love of children will only become a stumbling block on her road to investigating the case.

So Su Ling put away his smiling face, and said a little seriously: "Let's talk about business, you and that second stunned man are like this, or just give him a letter of resignation?" ”

"I said Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can it be so easy, my marriage to Li Yunji has made my father unable to raise his head, and now I have divorced him, isn't this another joke for others to see?"

"Besides, my father is old, and I don't want to make him angry anymore."

"Yo! The Iron Lady is still soft-hearted after all, I think you are reluctant to be a fool of Li Yunji, right? After all, although others are stupid, they are quite handsome. ”

"Your Highness the Princess!"
