Chapter 18: The Value of Donkey Meat
It is no wonder that these people drool when they smell the aroma of sauce meat, after all, this is a world where there is only barbecue, and the seasoning of barbecue is only coarse salt, not to mention its expensive price, even the innkeeper has only eaten two taels of barbecue in his life.
The innkeeper who was tempted by the smell of sauce and meat, and couldn't wait to poke his chopsticks into the jar to eat the meat.
Li Jing, who was standing next to the shopkeeper, saw the shopkeeper's greedy look, and was afraid that the shopkeeper would be too heavy and affect their spirit stone income.
So Li Jing, who was quick-eyed, grabbed the shopkeeper's chopsticks and smiled:
"Shopkeeper, I'll clip it for you, you can't clamp this good thing too hard, otherwise it will be broken. ”
The innkeeper wanted to eat a mouthful of chopsticks sauce donkey meat, but Li Jing's big hand grabbed the chopsticks, which made the innkeeper very unhappy, but thinking that this sauce of donkey meat is a rare thing in the world, he understood Li Jing's actions, and said with a smile:
"Brother was abrupt just now. ”
Li Jing unceremoniously snatched the shopkeeper's chopsticks, took out a piece of donkey meat the size of a fingernail from the jar full of meat, and carefully handed it to the innkeeper's mouth.
The innkeeper stretched out his tongue and carefully licked the sauce donkey meat the size of a fingernail, and after tasting the fragrance of the sauce donkey meat, he bit all the meat into his mouth, and then he didn't dare to bite it anymore, and used his tongue to fiddle with the sauce donkey meat the size of a fingernail in his mouth, savoring the taste on the sauce donkey meat, until the piece of sauce donkey meat turned into slag and was washed down by saliva.
After a long while, the innkeeper finally opened his eyes with his eyes closed and a look of enjoyment.
Then he was full of praise and said:
"This is so delicious, how can there be such delicious meat in the world!"
Li Jing closed the jar tightly and said:
"The shopkeeper has already tasted the taste, now you can help us sell it, right? Sell one or two meats, and the shopkeeper can get a pound of spirit stones!"
The shopkeeper took out a small silver abacus from his pocket, pulled it up, and said to himself:
"One or two pieces of meat earn a pound of spirit stones, you have at least nine to ten pounds in this jar, I can earn nearly a hundred pounds of spirit stones, it's a good deal!"
After settling the accounts, the innkeeper raised his head and asked Li Jing with stars in his eyes:
"Your Excellency's surname. ”
"Under the exemption, your surname is Li, and your name is Li Jing. ”
Li Jing said.
"Mr. Li is here to wait for a while, and I will go to find my master, he is the master of the Red Cloud Hall of the Xuanwu Sect, and he likes to eat meat the most. ”
The shopkeeper said and walked out of the room in a hurry.
Recommending such a delicacy to the owner can also win the favor of the owner and get the reward of the owner, which is also one of the reasons why the shopkeeper is excited.
Li Jing and the others waited for a cup of tea in the shopkeeper's bedroom, and the quiet inn immediately became lively, Li Jing walked out of the bedroom with a jar full of sauce and donkey meat, and saw a group of sect warriors in green clothes marching into the inn, a middle-aged man wearing a red robe with a tuanhua red robe, a Chinese face, and a big beard with a circle face walked into the inn under the embrace of the innkeeper and two tall warriors.
Although the man with the face of the country has a big belly, his body is far stronger than the warrior who follows, and he is obviously a strong warrior.
As soon as the innkeeper saw Li Jing, he said to the man with a Chinese face:
"Hall Master, this Mr. Li is the first servant under the Guardian Saint, and his jar is the world's first gourmet sauce donkey meat. ”
The bearded man glanced at Li Jing disdainfully and said:
"It's just a villager, short-sighted, what kind of food can it have?"
"Mr. Li, quickly open the jar and let the master of my house smell the fragrance. ”
The innkeeper was afraid that the transaction would not be successful, so he wanted to let the fragrance of the sauce donkey meat float out and leave the hall master of the Hongyun Hall of the Xuanwu Sect.
Li Jing naturally understood what the innkeeper meant, and hurriedly opened the ceramic lid.
The smell of meat in the jar immediately drifted out and slowly drifted into the nostrils of the hall master.
The hall master, who was disdainful of Li Jing, snorted, and his eyes suddenly lit up as if he had found some treasure, and then the hall master walked quickly towards Li Jing, and said politely to Li Jing:
"Mr. Li, why does the meat in this jar smell so fragrant, I'm afraid I can't smell such a fragrance in the whole world. ”
Li Jing relied on the fact that he was a disciple of the immortals and did not put the sect master in his eyes, even if he visually measured that the physical strength of this hall master was at least at the fifth rank of the Xuanwu Realm, Li Jing did not show a humble appearance.
So Li Jing said coldly:
"The contents of this jar are made by the ancient method of the immortals, called sauce donkey meat. ”
The hall master had already walked up to Li Jing, sniffed the fragrance escaping from the jar and said:
"Donkey meat is a very fishy ingredient, but it is roasted and seasoned with coarse salt, and the taste is extremely unpalatable, so donkey meat has never been selected as edible meat by the human race, and will only be given to the demon clan who drink blood and eat blood, and I am afraid that this fishy thing can become so delicious I am afraid that there is only the fairy family's magic method, but I didn't expect that this legendary fairy family magic method has a heritage. ”
The hall master of the Red Cloud Hall was about to put his finger into the jar as he spoke, and Li Jing knew that he couldn't stop the Xuanwu Realm Five-Rank Martial Artist, so he could only say loudly:
"The hall master is slow, my family's patron saint said that this sauce donkey meat has to be paid for before eating meat. ”
After listening to Li Jing's words, the hall master's old face turned red, and the fingers that reached into the jar retracted.
Just now he was aroused by the taste of donkey meat in sauce, and under the drive of strong appetite, he revealed an ugly eating appearance, hearing Li Jing say this, he was also embarrassed, took out a piece of gold paper and handed it to Li Jing and said:
"Sir, this is the golden ticket of Xuanwu Qianzhuang, which can be exchanged for a hundred catties of spirit stones, and I will exchange it for a catty of sauce donkey meat. ”
The innkeeper listened to the words of the hall master and immediately found the weighed knife, Li Jing accepted the golden ticket with a happy face, and then used chopsticks to take out a piece of red meat from the jar and put it on the scale handed over by the shopkeeper, the smell of spiced meat that escaped into the air was even stronger, and the warriors present couldn't control their saliva.
The shopkeeper weighed it and said:
"Mr. Li, it's almost, it's nine taels and five dollars. ”
Li Jing carefully used chopsticks to take out a small piece of meat from the jar and put it on the scale, which was exactly five coins in weight.
The warrior who followed the hall master held the red lacquer food box and solemnly put a pound of sauce donkey meat into the food box.
The hall master who bought the food couldn't wait to take his warriors home to enjoy it.
And Li Jing ordered Yang Jian and Zhu Gangguan to take the golden ticket to Qianzhuang to get the spirit stone, Li Jing and others from the village felt that the golden ticket was unreliable, and only by getting the spirit stone could they feel at ease.
Yang Jian and Zhu Gangguan quickly carried back a hundred catties of spirit stones, and the innkeeper also stood at the door of the inn waiting for the spirit stones, and after getting the ten catties of spirit stones that Li Jing gave him, he rushed out of the inn in a hurry, his enthusiasm was stimulated by the ten catties of spirit stones, and he was ready to pull the rich people in Wuzhou City who loved food to buy sauce and donkey meat.
