Chapter 17: I really want to bring this cook home
Zhong Wen is a little depressed these days.
I thought that if I showed amazing cooking skills and conquered the stomachs of the Floating Flower Palace, I could be like the protagonist of the novel, and I was loved by the beauties.
Lin Zhiyun really fell in love with the food he cooked, and there was a hint of goodwill in the eyes that looked at him.
However, as an old soul, he could easily tell that this affection was not affection, but more like an elder's appreciation for a junior.
I want to sleep with you, but you want to be my elder?
I can't bear it, I can't bear it.
So, when he saw the palace master sweeping the floor, he volunteered to rush forward and snatch the broom from the beauty's hand.
"I love to sweep the floor, and sweeping the floor makes me happy!" he declared loudly.
Lin Zhiyun couldn't resist him, and when he left, he looked at him with strange eyes, and he couldn't tell what it tasted like.
The subtext is about: After this child is injured, he may not only lose part of his memory, but also a little bit of intelligence......
How can I get her to like me?
Zhong Wen swept the fallen leaves on the ground while thinking hard.
In fact, another reason for snatching the broom is because he is particularly envious of the profession of "sweeping monk", who usually has no sense of existence, and at the critical moment, he came out with great power and slapped an enemy boss to death, pretending to be forced to this point, and it feels cool and crooked when he thinks about it.
Of course, don't talk about the enemy boss, with his current cultivation of the third layer of the human wheel, even in the Floating Flower Palace, none of them can be easily shot to death.
When chatting with Lin Xiaodie yesterday, he accidentally mentioned it, and he learned that this little Lori who pestered him to tell stories every day was actually the third layer of the human wheel.
All in all, whether it is to pursue a goddess or to become a sweeping monk, there is still a long way to go for him.
Sweeping and sweeping, thinking of the long road ahead, he couldn't help but stop, looked up at the sky, and posed as if he was looking up at the bright moon in the hot summer daylight.
Just then, two women came in at the door.
Looking at the people who came, Zhong Wen praised the world from the bottom of his heart.
Walking in front is a woman in red about twenty years old, exuding a noble temperament of a rich daughter, with a beautiful appearance, even compared with the goddess Lin Zhiyun, it is not much worse, and what is more interesting is that through the open oblique mouth on the red skirt, you can see a pair of snow-white round long legs, pedaling a pair of delicate boots, sexy and playful.
These legs, I... Some people can play for a year, this is Zhong Wen's inner monologue.
The one who walked behind felt a little older, and his face was covered by a veil, so he couldn't see clearly, but the hot figure under the cover of the cyan cloth could trigger infinite reverie.
"Who are the two of you...?" Zhong Wen saw that there was no one around, so he volunteered to take on the task of receiving him, after all, he was a little curious about the visitors.
"Who is Your Excellency? Isn't this the Floating Flower Palace? How can there be a man?" Almost at the same time, the other party actually turned against the guest, and the cherry mouth spat out a series of questions.
If it was Jin Yuanwai on the other side, Zhong Wen would have thrown the broom in his face a long time ago, and said a word about your bird.
However, in the face of the beautiful appearance of the woman in red, Zhong Wen's attitude was very gentle: "This girl, the Floating Flower Palace does not accept male disciples, and the contemptible Zhong Wen is the chef and physician here." ”
The position of "Physician" was of course self-appointed by Zhong Wen, and the Lin Palace Lord knew nothing about it.
"It turned out to be Dr. Zhong. The woman in red said in a slightly softer tone, "Please also ask Mr. Minglin Palace Master, just say that Shangguan Mingyue of the 'Shengyu Commercial Bank' came to visit and have important matters to discuss." ”
Hearing the words "Shengyu Commercial Bank", Zhong Wen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
Liu Qiqi once said that he sold salt to a trading house, and at that time he had a hunch that the other party would take the initiative to come to contact, after all, after eating the original food of this world, he firmly believed that no one could resist the charm of salt.
At the beginning, Liu Qiqi only had a small half-packet of salt in his hand, but he got fifty spirit crystals, which is the best proof.
"Okay, wait a minute. Of course, he didn't take the initiative to say that he was the one who made the salt, but ran in and reported it.
Lin Zhiyun and Shangguan Mingyue both saw each other for the first time, but they were shocked by each other's peerless elegance.
There is such a beautiful woman in the world!
The two thought in unison.
"Palace Master Lin, this time Shangguan Mingyue came uninvited, and there is an 'important matter' to discuss. Shangguan Mingyue said as she kept glancing at Zhong Wen, the "sweeping monk" who was standing aside, out of the corner of her eyes, and specially bit the word 'important matter' very hard.
Zhong Wen didn't understand what she meant, and left the room very consciously, and took the initiative to close the door tightly.
Sweep the floor!
Sweeping makes me happy!
After about a moment, Lin Zhiyun came out in person and invited him back again.
Looking at Shangguan Mingyue's slightly embarrassed eyes, Zhong Wen couldn't help but laugh out loud easily.
"Doctor Zhong, I heard that 'Sai Shenxian' was developed by you?" After many years in business, her face is naturally not so thin, and she quickly adjusted her mentality and tone.
"Worthless gadgets, let Miss Shangguan laugh. ”
Lin Zhiyun was slightly surprised when she heard Shangguan Mingyue call him "Doctor Zhong", but she didn't ask any questions.
"Physician Zhong is too modest, but I am clumsy, and I have offended a lot, so I ask Physician Zhong to forgive me. Shangguan Mingyue looked at Zhong Wen sincerely with a pair of big smart eyes, and apologized directly like this, but it seemed to be down-to-earth and generous, and it was not offensive.
"It's easy to say, and those who don't know are not to blame. Zhong Wen continued to be gentle and perfunctory.
After chatting for a few words, Shangguan Mingyue saw that Zhong Wen didn't enter the oil and salt, so she went straight to the point and said, "I don't know if Doctor Zhong's 'Race Immortal' is for sale?"
"In the case of satisfying personal use, the surplus can naturally be sold, but the production of this thing is relatively small, and it may not be too much. Zhong Wen replied.
"Doctor Zhong, I'm talking about the formula of 'Sai Shen Xian'. Shangguan Mingyue approached step by step, "We, the 'Shengyu Commercial Bank', are willing to buy your formula at the price of a thousand spirit crystals. ”
Zhong Wen stared at Shangguan Mingyue's beautiful face for a long time.
This is a wise woman, he said to himself.
In his previous life, as an entrepreneur, he was also an out-and-out businessman, so he could naturally understand Shangguan Mingyue's shrewdness.
Is a thousand spirit crystals too much? a lot.
Is it enough to buy this formula? It's obviously not enough, after all, half a pack of salt sells fifty spirit crystals, so once the formula is obtained and can be mass-produced, how many fifty spirit crystals will the Shangguan family get? It's hard to calculate.
If Shangguan Mingyue's bid is successful, it will naturally make a lot of money, but it also gives Zhong Wen a lot of room for counteroffer.
At the same time, the number of one thousand spirit crystals is also a huge amount of money, and it will not appear to be insincere, leaving Zhong Wen with a bad impression of a profiteer.
Since entering the Floating Flower Palace, except for looking at Zhong Wen once, Shangguan Mingyue's every move seemed to be just right, which naturally left a good impression on Lin Zhiyun.
As for Zhong Wen, it can be ignored, and even a beautiful woman can gain his favor.
"Doctor Zhong, I am really sincere and want to buy this formula, please consider it carefully. Shangguan Mingyue's voice was very good, with a faint hint of charm.
"Miss Shangguan, Zhong Wen, you talk slowly, I'll go out first. Lin Zhiyun saw that it was none of her business, so she didn't want to listen to it anymore, and planned to avoid suspicion.
"Don't, Palace Master. Zhong Wen hurriedly went up and grabbed Lin Zhiyun's hand and said, "What if the talks break down and they want to do something?" ”
Lin Zhiyun: "......"
Shangguan Mingyue: "......"
Shangguan Junyi: "......"
"What nonsense, what kind of identity does Miss Shangguan have, how did she do such a robber act. Although Lin Zhiyun regards Zhong Wen as a junior, she has been clean and self-conscious for so many years, and she still feels very unaccustomed to being pulled by a man's arm, and her right arm quietly detached from Zhong Wen's palm.
Still, she stayed.
I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, such a good chef can't really have an accident.
"I'm sorry, Miss Shangguan, I'm more afraid of death, forgive me. Zhong Wen was a little happy when he saw Lin Zhiyun staying, and said with a smile.
"It's good to be cautious. Shangguan Mingyue was polite, but her smile was a little reluctant.
She found that the young man in front of her was not only shrewd, but also a little cheap.
"Since Miss Shangguan is so reasonable, I will also be blunt, the price of a thousand spirit crystals is cheaper. Zhong Wen suddenly put away his smile and said seriously.
"Then what kind of price does Doctor Zhong think is more appropriate?" Shangguan Mingyue asked rhetorically.
"Palace Master Lin, it's rare for Miss Shangguan to come to Qingfeng Mountain, do you want to entertain the guests for a meal first?" Zhong Wen didn't answer, but suddenly talked to Lin Zhiyun.
Although Lin Zhiyun was kind-hearted, she was not stupid, and quickly understood Zhong Wen's intentions: "Of course, it's almost noon, if Miss Shangguan doesn't dislike it, she might as well have dinner in the Floating Flower Palace, if there is anything, it's not too late to talk about it after lunch." ”
Shangguan Mingyue gave birth to a seven-trick exquisite heart, and instantly understood that Zhong Wen wanted her to taste the taste of "Race Immortal" again, shaking her mind, so as to increase her bargaining chips.
sighed that Zhong Wen was cunning, but she did not refuse.
In addition to being a businessman, she is also a real foodie.
Her resistance to gastronomic temptation tends to be close to zero.
"I'm going to get lunch ready. Zhong Wen left the room with a grin, leaving the three beauties chatting in the room.
Since Zhong Wen became the "chef", the original tradition of eating separately in the Floating Flower Palace has been completely broken, and every day when the meal arrives, from the palace master to the little Lori, they will appear at the dinner table on time, and they can't move.
Without him, this cook is extremely willful, he has to put all the meals in the lobby, resolutely refuses to deliver the food to the door, and completely ignores his temperament as a courier little brother.
The girls tried to resist, but in the end they succumbed to the chef's obscenity.
No way, the food tastes so good nowadays that every time the meal is approaching, the stomach begins to cry uncontrollably, and the mouth will unconsciously secrete saliva.
Shangguan Mingyue, who came to the lobby, first saw the three disciples of the Floating Flower Palace, his eyes lit up, and he felt that each of them was slim and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament, in line with the character of a businessman who made good connections, he was about to step forward to make friends, Zhong Wen had already come over with a plate to serve the food.
Seeing the dishes on the table, Shangguan Mingyue couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.
It's so beautiful!
It was the first time she had used the word "pretty" to describe her lunch.
In order to entertain the guests, Zhong Wen took a lot of effort to prepare eight dishes and a soup, with meat and vegetables, red and green, and he had not tasted the taste, and the temptation of "color" and "fragrance" had already come to his face.
"Miss Shangguan, the conditions in the mountains and wilderness are not good, some coarse tea and light rice, please ask the two generals to take a look. Lin Zhiyun said politely, and beckoned everyone to start the meal.
Out of courtesy, Shangguan Junyi also took off his brimmed hat.
Shangguan Junyi is in her thirties this year, but she only looks like twenty-seven or eighteen, in terms of appearance alone, she may not be as dazzling as Shangguan Mingyue, but she is very delicate, and her temperament is quiet and tranquil, like a gentle big sister next door, a big sister with a hot body.
However, the skin on the big sister's face was a little too pale, and there was a faint gray aura at the center of her eyebrows.
The eldest lady Shangguan Mingyue was still forcibly reserved when she first served the table, and when she took a few bites of food, she entered a state of selfless foodie, and she no longer cared about any etiquette, and a pair of chopsticks were dazzling to wield.
Halfway through the meal, she suddenly came back to her senses, realized her gaffe, and looked up around a little embarrassed, only to find that no one noticed her at all, and everyone was immersed in the beautiful dining experience.
So the eldest lady put her mind at ease and continued to wave her chopsticks to bury her head and eat.
Even Shangguan Junyi, who has always eaten less, ate an extra bowl of rice for the first time
After the meal, Zhong Wen brought another pot of tea, which was soaked in tea that had been fried with a special method, and there was a unique fragrance.
Just smelling the fragrance of tea, Shangguan Mingyue felt that her bulging stomach was much more comfortable.
I took a sip of the teacup, and the fragrance of the tea overflowed between my lips and teeth, and the aftertaste was endless.
Hey, how can you negotiate now!
If you can't talk about it, won't you never be able to eat such a delicacy again?
I really want to take this cook home!
At this time, Shangguan Mingyue only had Zhong Wen's cooking skills in her mind, and the matter of the "Race Immortal" recipe was temporarily left behind by her.
Shangguan Junyi on the side still didn't understand that although her niece was blue-hearted and intelligent, she was an out-and-out foodie and had no resistance to real food.
Zhong Wen's cooking skills are difficult to resist even a monster like himself who has cut off his desires, not to mention Shangguan Mingyue, the eldest lady has already been hit in the soft underbelly.
In the next negotiations, this girl shouldn't sell the Shangguan family, right?
Shangguan Junyi was a little worried.
"Lin Palace Master, Cangyun City's 'Qingfeng Pavilion' is the property of the Floating Flower Palace, right?" With an idea, Shangguan Mingyue shifted the topic to Lin Zhiyun.
"Yes, 'Qingfeng Pavilion' is just a small business, I didn't expect Miss Shangguan to have heard of it. Speaking of the elixir shop, Lin Zhiyun's face showed a trace of worry.
"For a businessman, what is more important than intelligence?" Shangguan Mingyue covered her mouth and smiled, "What's more, the little sister only came out of Cangyun City two days ago, and your elixir shop seems to have been in some trouble recently?"
Lin Zhiyun didn't understand Shangguan Mingyue's intentions and didn't understand.
"'Divine Medicine Hall' is the property of the Tantai family. Shangguan Mingyue revealed an important piece of information.
"The Tantai family?" Lin Zhiyun was stunned, "Why do they do such things that harm others and themselves?"
"Originally, I didn't find out the reason, but after a trip to Qingfeng Mountain and seeing the spiritual power environment here, I can probably guess that the land here is simply a natural elixir plantation. Shangguan Mingyue said slowly, "The eldest young master of the Shantai family, Shantai Jin, has done everything in order to curry favor with the Xiao family in recent years, and the Xiao family's ally, the 'Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce', has come here to buy medicine fields for more than a year, in an attempt to dominate the elixir market. ”
"I see. ”
Thinking of Jin Yuanwai and Wang's sister-in-law's behavior, Lin Zhiyun knew that Shangguan Mingyue had not guessed wrong, and this piece of real estate in her own house was definitely targeted by the Tantai family.
"What kind of 'Tantai family' is this, very powerful?" Zhong Wen suddenly asked.
"The Tantai family is known as the head of the four major families in Cangyun City, and its strength should not be underestimated. Shangguan Mingyue patiently explained, "However, the most terrifying thing is the Xiao family behind the Taijin, except for the holy land and the royal family, the Xiao family can almost be regarded as the first family of the Great Qian Empire." ”
Lin Zhiyun frowned, obviously she didn't expect the opponent's power to be so huge, as the third largest force in the Great Qian Empire, the Xiao family will definitely not lack masters of the Tianlun realm, and even there is more than one old monster on the Tianlun, she suddenly has some confidence in guarding the mountain inherited by her master.
"Miss Shangguan, I'm afraid that the 'Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce' and your 'Shengyu Commercial Bank' are not very friendly, right?" Zhong Wen suddenly thought.
"We are all businessmen, and competition is inevitable. Shangguan Mingyue did not deny it.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so aren't you and I natural allies?" Zhong Wen showed an intriguing smile on his face.
"That's right, our firm has also been suppressed badly by the 'Silver Ring' recently, for the sake of the face of the ally, is Doctor Zhong's 'Race Immortal' formula ......" Shangguan Mingyue's face had a pitiful expression, "I'm willing to bid five thousand spirit crystals, how about it?"
"Miss Shangguan, do you know what I was thinking?" Zhong Wen suddenly put away his smile and said with a serious expression, "I originally only planned to let you be my sales agent, and for every one sold, I would take a twenty percent of the profit. ”
"Unexpectedly, Dr. Zhong is also well versed in the way of business. Shangguan Mingyue was taken aback, as the daughter of a businessman, she naturally knew that a long stream of water was the real way to get rich, and she couldn't help but glance at Zhong Wen.
"But the news you brought this time is very valuable, and we have a common enemy, so we are more or less our own. Zhong Wen said bluntly, "Ten thousand spirit crystals, the formula belongs to you, I don't want any commission, and I also give an additive, how about it?"
Ten thousand spirit crystals is not a small amount, although Shangguan Mingyue is optimistic about this business, but it also takes time to return to the capital, and he hesitated a little: "What is the addition?"
Zhong Wen: "I can cure the illness of this sister next to you." ”
Shangguan Mingyue's face instantly sank: "Who are you, how can you know about my aunt's illness?"
"Is this your aunt? so young? I thought you were sisters. Zhong Wen smiled and threw a sycophant at Shangguan Junyi.
Shangguan Mingyue's eyes became more and more cold, and her body exuded a cultivator's unique momentum.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiyun also had to release a trace of momentum, for fear that Zhong Wen would be slapped to death by Shangguan Mingyue.
"Yue'er, don't be rude. Shangguan Junyi, who had been silent, suddenly waved his hand, and the tension in the air seemed to have been driven away, and it disappeared without a trace.
Master of the Heavenly Wheel!
Lin Zhiyun was shocked in her heart, just now the other party lightly waved away her momentum, and she was afraid that she was still above herself.
"Doctor Zhong, do you know my illness?" Shangguan Junyi's voice was as gentle as water.
"This sister, you have called me Doctor Zhong, if I can't see this symptom, isn't it disqualified by the doctor?" Zhong Wen's expression was relaxed, "Sister's cultivation is only afraid that it will be difficult to go further, right?"
"I didn't expect Dr. Zhong's medical skills to be so good. Shangguan Junyi said calmly, "In order to deal with the crisis, Junyi practiced a special exercise, although the power is endless, but it is not complete, I am afraid that it will be difficult to step on the heavenly wheel in this life, and then my brother even visited the master in the Wendao School Palace for me, but he did not find a solution, so I didn't bother with Doctor Zhong." ”
When Zhong Wen heard this, he suddenly approached Shangguan Junyi and whispered: "Sister Shangguan, if I can't be cured by the Daoxue Palace, it doesn't mean that I can't do it, I can not only completely heal your injuries, but also let you regain the feeling of being a woman." ”
"You ......" Shangguan Junyi's calm and tranquil face showed a surprised expression for the first time.
