As the main city of the Dingbei Marquis's territory, Hongyuan City covers an area of more than 80 square kilometers, and because it is backed by the boundless vast mountains, the inexhaustible resources have attracted countless nobles and merchants. The superior location in the ground has made Hongyuan City unprecedentedly prosperous, and the mercenary industry is also very popular.

The mercenary management department of Hongyuan City is located in the north of the city, which has become the gathering place of all mercenary groups. Jiang Xingchen inquired all the way to come here, and it had been two months.

After arriving in the north of the city, there was no need for him to ask again, the people on the street were talking about the Bauhinia Mercenary Group, and many people also rushed there specifically, so he just followed behind.

"Bauhinia is worthy of being the first mercenary group, and it can even beat a top-level beast like the Sword Spine Pig! It seems that this time it is going to make a lot of money......

"Those foreign aristocratic merchants have already found it, and the sword-spine pigskin costs at least three thousand citrine coins, and the price of meat is estimated to be only high, plus the fangs and the sharp thorns on the pig's back are all materials for weapons...... This sword-spine pig can at least bring Bauhinia tens of thousands of citrine coins in income......"

"Captain Mo is even more powerful, and he even offered a reward of 300 citrine coins to cook the back meat of the sword spine pig. Yesterday I heard from a restaurant that it was the best ingredient, and it was not fresh to sell hundreds of citrine coins in a catty......"

"No one can take away the big money, since yesterday afternoon, there are still few chefs from the restaurant, and there is no ...... that satisfies Head Mo."

Listening to the discussion, it didn't take much time, Jiang Xingchen followed the people in front of him to the end of a street, Xiangyou turned around, and saw a large group of people forming a large semicircle, and the noisy discussion was buzzing like flies.

Being in the distance, Jiang Xingchen's gaze easily crossed the crowd and saw inside.

But when he saw it, his eyes shrank suddenly, his brain buzzed, and his breathing was a little tight.

The crowd surrounds a large courtyard, the courtyard wall is not more than five meters high, and the wide traces of blue bricks feel heavy at a glance. Next to the courtyard gate, there hangs a large beast.

Due to the crowd, the beast could only see the upper body, but even the upper body, at least more than two meters long, the thickness of a large water tank. The beast was dark brown in color, with a mane half a meter long, and dozens of brown spikes as sharp as arrows stood on its back. And its mouth has two white fangs half a meter long, the fangs are not round, but flat, and the edges are as sharp as knives, Jiang Xingchen can see a cold light in the distance.

"The upper body is more than two meters, and the whole body is not more than four meters, such a big body, I'm afraid it doesn't weigh twice! There are thorns on the back, fangs in the mouth, and I haven't seen a pig arch...... What kind of pig is this, lions can be killed on the earth......"

Through the understanding and analysis of the past two days, he has always believed that this shijie is similar to the ancient Shijie of his own, although there is vitality, it is just that the force value is higher. But at this moment, this intuitive visual impact made him deeply realize that this was another shijie, and there were many unknown things.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xingchen calmed down and slowly walked to the periphery of the crowd. But looking at the sword-spine pig up close, the visual pressure is even greater.

"Come out, come out!" The crowd in front of him shouted in unison, Jiang Xingchen stood on tiptoe to watch, only to see the courtyard door open, and two middle-aged people walked out with their heads slightly down.

"How is the shopkeeper Huang?" someone in the crowd in front of him asked.

"Hey!" The middle-aged man who walked in front sighed and shook his head: "I can't meet the requirements of Head Mo, and the meat made by our chef still smells fishy!"

When the middle-aged man in the back heard this, he smiled bitterly unnaturally, and lowered his head and walked forward silently.

Jiang Xingchen's mind finally took it back from the Sword Spine Pig and put it back on top of the three hundred citrine coins. Hearing the middle-aged man's words, his eyes lit up: "Do you want to get rid of the fishy smell in the meat?"

The crowd parted, and two middle-aged men walked out. Jiang Xingchen looked in along the gap where the crowd was separated, and saw two big men standing with their chests crossed next to the gate, looking at everyone with a proud expression.

After a deep groan, Jiang Xingchen turned around and left, he couldn't make a mistake like yesterday for a second time, he didn't forget the situation of being driven out by the guys in the restaurant yesterday. Now that you've figured out why, let's go back and get ready before we come back.

Almost trotting all the way back to the market on the outskirts of the civilian area, Jiang Xingchen rushed into it...... What he did at this time was like gambling, gambling this opportunity with all his net worth.

There are green onions, ginger and garlic in the market, and what excites him is that there is soy sauce, or clear sauce that is more suitable, and the taste is slightly lighter than that on earth, but it does not affect its use as a condiment.

Alcohol is a must-buy, and this is the key to getting rid of the smell of meat. Three taels of turbid inferior loose wine actually cost fifty copper coins. It made Jiang Xingchen feel a pain in his flesh.

Then, he searched the bazaar and bought star anise and cinnamon in the pharmacy, and only then did he really put his mind at ease.

However, it was a pity that he did not buy sugar, otherwise he would have been more sure.

During the purchase process, Jiang Xingchen once again intuitively realized that this shijie is different from the earth. It's almost winter, and there are seven or eight kinds of vegetables, and he doesn't know any of them. He had never heard of nearly ninety percent of the medicinal materials in the pharmacy, and there was such a mysterious name as 'Sancai Divine Flower', and one plant would cost hundreds of citrine coins......

A month later, it was already noon, and Jiang Xingchen returned to the blocked yard with the things he had bought haode.

Mei'er wasn't at home, Jiang Xingchen didn't care, the little girl had already said in the morning that she was going to Uncle Huang.

Entering the kitchen, Jiang Xingchen put away all the things he bought, salt, soy sauce, green onions, ginger and garlic, star anise, cinnamon, two catties of pork ribs, as well as three taels of wine and a small pottery jar, these things cost him all the two citrine coins and sixty copper coins on his body.

"Success or failure is here!" Jiang Xingchen stood in front of the pot and took a deep breath and began to move. Soak the ribs in cold water to remove the remaining blood from the meat, then start processing the onions, ginger and garlic, then light the stove, and then go to the courtyard wall to build a simple stove with waste bricks, and dig a vent underneath. The stove in the kitchen can be simmered on low heat, but it is not possible to boil on high heat...

In the afternoon, the sun gradually turned west, and there were still many people watching outside the compound where the Bauhinia mercenary group was stationed. Some people came to see the Sword Spine Pig and were going to trade with the mercenary group, and there were also many people from various restaurants who wanted to see if anyone could take the three hundred citrine coins.

The door opened, and two more people walked out dejectedly, and they knew that Captain Mo was not satisfied without asking. The onlookers couldn't help but sigh: "Cuiyuan Building didn't succeed!"

"Furong Zhai didn't succeed, and of course Cuiyuan Lou didn't work...... It seems that unless someone from the imperial capital comes, it will be difficult to satisfy Commander Mo!"

"Furong Zhai and Cuiyuan Lou are the most haode restaurants in Hongyuan City, I often go to these two restaurants, and I don't think the meat they make smells fish......y!

"I heard that Head Mo is going to entertain an important friend, and that person can't smell a little fishy, so the top ingredient of sword spine pig back will be rewarded for inviting someone to make ......"

"The two most haode restaurants in Hongyuan City are not good, and it is estimated that there will be no other restaurants in the future......

The two of them walked out, and except for those who were staring at the Sword Spine Pig and preparing to do business with the Bauhinia Mercenary Group, the people from the other major restaurants felt that there was nothing to see, and they were ready to leave, and the crowd suddenly loosened up a lot.

At this moment, Jiang Xingchen, dressed in shabby linen clothes, carrying a small jar in his hand, and a pottery bowl covered with the jar, walked through the crowd and walked towards the door of the Bauhinia Mercenary Group.

All the onlookers walked out, only he walked inside, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Civilians, what are civilians doing here?" everyone had this thought, and at the same time stopped and looked back at Jiang Xingchen.

"Does he also want to receive the bounty of the three hundred citrine coins?" someone wondered. But then he was refuted by others: "The major restaurants can't do it, how can he, a civilian, satisfy Commander Mo!"

"It's hard to say, maybe he really has the ability!"

"Don't talk about it, he's a civilian, have you ever seen meat...... I don't know if Regiment Leader Mo will be so angry that he will kill him when he sees a civilian coming in after a while!"

"I still want to see Captain Mo, it's good if he can enter the gate......"

Soon, everyone turned around, with mocking smiles on their lips and expressions of good fun.

The two shopkeepers in the crowd frowned slightly, and asked the guy next to him, "Do you think he is a little familiar?"

"Shopkeeper, isn't this the liar who went to our restaurant yesterday!" the guy said, his face surprised: "This kid is so bold, he actually deceived the Bauhinia mercenary group, don't die......"

When everyone was talking, Jiang Xingchen had already arrived at the door, and two strong men took a step across and blocked in front of him, their gloomy faces full of anger.

The two had already paid attention to Jiang Xingchen, and they had the same thoughts as the onlookers. And the other party's behavior like this is simply teasing the Bauhinia mercenary group, which makes them extremely angry in their hearts.

"Boy, you'd better get out of here, otherwise you'll ......" The two stretched out their hands to stop Jiang Xingchen and said viciously. Both of them had seen blood, and this anger had a ferocious momentum.

The onlookers behind all laughed, waiting to see how Jiang Xingchen was scared.

However, Jiang Xingchen didn't even raise his head, and he didn't look at the two people who stopped him at all. Although the other party is aggressive, his mental quality is very good, as long as he does not look at the two of them, he will not be affected. More importantly, he believed that the stewed pork ribs he had carefully prepared would definitely satisfy Captain Mo.

Before the two of them finished speaking, Jiang Xingchen had already reached out and grabbed the pottery bowl on the jar and gently opened it.

A rich aroma of meat wafted out and quickly spread outward.

The two big men stopped abruptly halfway through their words, sniffled, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stared straight at the jar in Jiang Xingchen's hand.

For a moment, there was silence around them, and the smiles of those onlookers all turned into surprise, and while greedily inhaling the aroma, they involuntarily secretly said: "What kind of meat is this, why is it so fragrant?"

Many of the chefs present were chefs of the restaurant, and they knew it was meat as soon as they smelled it, but such a strong aroma was something they had never encountered before.

"It's a pity that it's been too long all the way, and the aroma is not as strong as when it first came out of the pot!" Jiang Xingchen said secretly in his heart, and also swallowed his saliva, and he was hungry for several days after eating bread.

Raising his head, Jiang Xingchen smiled slightly at the two people who were still staring at the altar with good eyes, and asked, "Two big brothers, can I go in?"

"Ahh......h

"Xiexie!" Jiang Xingchen bowed slightly, and was just about to raise his legs to walk in, when he felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, and a red shadow rushed out in his eyes.
