Chapter 268: No. 1 in the World (4000)
It was really feng shui in turn, he originally looked down on Wang Baquan, but now it was his turn to fight with Wang Baquan.
Hearing Xu Mingyuan's footsteps, and gasping for a few breaths, Liu Yuan calmed down, stared at the soft-shelled turtle on the floor, and shook his head again to reveal a wry smile.
At first, he didn't think that this box should contain soft-shelled turtles, but this black shadow was so powerful, he didn't expect this thing to be soft-shelled turtles even if he wanted to break his head.
What kind of soft-shelled turtle has such ability?
Could it be that the king of the Dahe Gang was inspired by seeing this style of soft-shelled turtle, so he figured it out?
It's really feng shui in turns, at the beginning, he looked down on the Wang Baquan of the Dahe Gang, and now it was his turn to be beaten by a Wang Ba.
The more I thought about it, the more interesting I felt, and I couldn't help laughing alone, Liu Yuan exhaled, took a few steps forward, and stood beside the soft-shelled turtle and squatted down.
At this time, the soft-shelled turtle was motionless on all fours, as if it was dead, but Liu Yuan knew that it was still alive and well, after all, a pair of eyes on his head looked at him like this.
poked the belly of the soft-shelled turtle, and the latter's four legs shrank, and he was really alive.
"Strong!"
Liu Yuan sighed, after he tortured him like that, the soft-shelled turtle was still alive, and it was estimated that he was tired and was lying on the ground to rest.
Reaching out and turning it over, he looked at its eight shells, which had eight scales, as recorded in the booklet, surrounded by a lotus flower.
But now he was quiet and motionless, and he couldn't see the fierce appearance he had before.
Liu Yuan finally figured it out, the part he felt was very hard just now, and he kicked it on the hard shell, no wonder he grinned in pain.
I looked at this soft-shelled turtle a few more times, and found that it was much larger than the average soft-shelled turtle, and it was the size of his two palms.
There's even an extra layer of armor on the flesh, so it's no wonder why it's so resistant to beating.
Looking at this soft-shelled turtle, Liu Yuan's mind changed, his eyes lit up, and suddenly some other ideas came to him, such a hard and fierce soft-shelled turtle, after killing it, take its materials, shell armor and other things, and be able to smelt a good knife!
With his natural lack of this ability to refine knives, but now that the situation has changed, I believe that the day when Jianque Mountain Villa will be reopened is not far away, and when the time comes, he can bring materials to the door to ask for a treasure knife.
In this case, this soft-shelled turtle must not be used to make soup, so Liu Yuan threw it into the wooden box and closed the lid.
It was only after he opened the lid that the turtle rushed out to attack, thinking that after the box was closed, it couldn't escape.
However, just in case, Liu Yuan still asked the cabin, and after getting a positive answer, he didn't care about it.
Then his eyes fell on the box of 'ginger', such a strange thing, obviously unreliable, but he didn't dare to make it for those people outside, so naturally he couldn't use it.
It seems that this ginseng soup can only be replaced with the existing general materials, and with a sigh, Liu Yuan packed up all his things and walked out of the door.
Most of the people outside didn't come for dinner, or for fame or fortune, they were accompanied by the young master of the Zhou family, chatting about some business cooperation, and they didn't feel hungry.
But when the smell of rice in the kitchen wafted out, everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the kitchen.
The main dishes of several major scenes were cooked by Liu Yuan, and the rest of the side dishes were cooked by Xu Minglai.
The latter can open such an inn and be a shopkeeper and a man, and he is also a cook, so he is naturally good at cooking, and these days he has watched Liu Yuan make seven perfume boiled fish, and his cooking skills have also improved a lot.
The heat of some side dishes is more and more in place, three meat and two vegetables, cold and hot evenly, and it is handy to make.
If you talk about this fragrance, the guests in the lobby outside, the leading figures of Dade County, can still bear it, and when Liu Yuan's seven perfume boiled fish comes out of the pot, they all widen their eyes.
I didn't say anything because of my face, but there was already longing in my eyes, and I swallowed my saliva.
Quietly watching all this, Zhou Xiangwen didn't break it, but secretly laughed, although he was also cooing with hunger at the moment, few people could resist the temptation of boiling fish in seven fragrances.
The dishes were served one after another, and it was the dishes that Xu Ming made, and when they asked about the fragrance just now, several people couldn't wait to pick up the dishes after being polite to each other.
But after tasting each dish once, everyone all showed some disappointed looks, although these dishes were also good, but after smelling the previous fragrance, the expectations in their hearts were too high.
Looking around at the reactions of several people, Zhou Xiangwen was not in a hurry, and continued to talk about other things, he saved such a game, not only to accumulate fame for this small inn, but also for other purposes.
Now that Dade County is rebellious and self-reliant, it is only a matter of time before he faces the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, and the old man of his family, as the right-hand man of the county guard, has no way out.
At that time, once the court is successful, the Zhou family will only have the end of copying and beheading.
Therefore, the stronger the strength of the Zhou family, the better, and the one who can rely on and help them is still the prominent family that Dade County has been looking at for so many years.
Things can't all be put in one basket, it's useless to rely on the Xia family alone.
The nest of the Xia family in Xiling is still in the southwest road, and when Dade County falls, Xia Lingling patted her ass and left, and returned to the southwest road, what about them?
Thinking about it, today's Dade County is just a cave of the Xia family, a cave of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and it is not them who are sacrificed.
It seems that there are no four or six days a day, and Young Master Zhou, who is hanging a child, still has a lot of things in his heart.
He spared no effort to help Liu Yuan, firstly, because this person had a good temper, secondly, because he couldn't bear to be dusted by such a good dish, and thirdly, it was for himself.
The affairs of the inn complement each other to him, plus the previous ventilation and reporting matter, it is very good to sell Liu Yuan a favor.
Since it is the person Xia Lingling is looking for, it can't be too easy for Xia Lingling. With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, Zhou Xiangwen picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
After a while, Liu Yuan personally walked out with a large wooden tray, and there was a round bowl on the plate, which was very complete, and it was already the best bowl in the inn.
It's all here, these people are not picky about any utensils, and they are not as happy as Young Master Zhou uses.
Smiling at everyone, Liu Yuan's tray was put in the middle, and when everyone was unprepared, he suddenly opened the lid.
The steaming white smoke spread in all directions, accompanied by a full seven aromas, and as expected, this famous dish that spread throughout Harukawa did not disappoint a single person.
After watching these people taste a piece of fish fillet, their faces were full of exaggerated expressions, all kinds of rich, and Young Master Zhou's heart was so happy.
But it didn't take long for Zhou Xiangwen to quickly pick up the chopsticks, because after these people ate a piece, they couldn't hold back any longer, and quickly went to the big bowl again.
After that, Liu Yuan successively served smooth egg tofu and fresh fragrant stew, and talked about what business, these people couldn't stop eating at all, one chopstick after another.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes reached five flavors, and when they were in full swing, Liu Yuan brought the last highlight - ginseng soup.
This is the first time to make this thing, but Liu Yuan has already done it well with his comprehension of making so many dishes.
It is slightly inferior to his skill in boiling fish in seven perfumes, but at this time, everyone has eaten so much fish and meat, and it is this soup that is lacking.
After that mouthful of soup, I felt that my whole soul was going to be sublimated, from my throat to my stomach, and my whole body was warm, not to mention how comfortable it was in this winter.
Zheng Dahu, who has been engaged in groceries and farm tools all his life, has never eaten in any restaurant, but after this mouthful of soup today, he leaned back on the chair and let out a long breath.
Tilting his neck, looking at the second floor of the dilapidated inn, he let out a sigh that made Zhou Xiangwen laugh: "It's in vain, the first half of my life has been in vain." ”
The words sounded a bit exaggerated, but these people around them nodded thoughtfully, obviously agreeing with Zheng Dahu's words.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the four major enjoyments of life, in terms of clothing, housing and transportation, these people can no longer improve much, I thought that the word 'food' was like this.
Who knew that after growing up today, the food in the world could still be so delicious, and I couldn't help but be impressed by the inn, including Zhou Xiangwen.
Everyone ate happily, and Zhou Xiangwen, the person who invited the guests, also had light on his face, and he was a little happier in his heart.
Taking advantage of the excitement, Zhou Xiangwen mentioned the couplet. After that, the inn set off another wave of climax, and finally it was time for them to show off their individual literati and artists.
This matter is simple, and in the end, Zhou Xiangwen made a decision.
At the end of a banquet, Zhou Xiangwen promised that after that, the calligraphers in the city would personally write couplets and send them to the inn as gifts.
Standing at the door of the slightly narrow and dilapidated inn, everyone's mood before and after coming to the inn has completely changed.
Looking at the young man standing under the inn, it was as if he saw the rise of a wealthy businessman in Dade County.
With the Zhou family behind him, it won't be long before he is back.
Before leaving, a considerable number of people expressed their kindness to Liu Yuan, and promised to give gifts when Young Master Zhou came to send couplets, congratulating this small inn on its second spring.
Sending these guests away one by one with a smile, after the building was empty, Liu Yuan looked at the winding Hutong path and was stunned.
The inn has developed to this point, a few points faster than he expected, and many things he didn't expect in advance.
Naturally, there will be people in the city who will connect him with the ghost face because of that knife, and find traces of him and Liu Mang.
The greater the fame of the inn, which is a good thing, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, the easier it is for him to expose himself.
When today's matter spreads, sooner or later, it will attract the young master of the Du family to come over, or something else, someone who had seen his face in Sanhe Tower.
But the expansion of the inn is one thing he has to do, before and after, at this moment he is tantamount to walking on a single-plank bridge on a roller, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he will fall off the cliff.
The mood was a little heavy, of course, he still smiled with Xu Ming on his face, and he didn't want to be seen by the other party.
After returning to his hut alone, Liu Yuan groaned. One thing he needed to determine now was who was behind him.
Carefully recalling the person who had seen his knife in Sanhe Tower, Du Ji was the most suspicious, and after that, suddenly the figure of the woman named Lingling appeared in Liu Yuan's mind.
"Could it be her?" Liu Yuan couldn't help but mutter.
If Du Ji wants to retaliate, he will do it at that time or the next day, and this woman's suspicion is also quite big, if this woman is still in the city.
After thinking carefully about the time of a stick of incense, there was only one last way that Liu Yuan could think of, which was to kill.
As long as the people who saw him and the knife appear at the same time in Sanhe Building that day are dead, there is naturally no risk of exposure.
But then again, the other party doesn't necessarily want to look for him because he thinks of the ghost face, if it weren't for this purpose, killing these people would be too much.
It seems that he still needs to turn to Young Master Zhou's head for help, and Young Master Zhou may know what the other party's purpose is for looking for him.
Moreover, everyone else is good, the impact of Du Ji's death is too great, and it is not necessarily a good thing, and most of them will cause more trouble.
Thinking about it, it is still the most important thing to improve your strength, no matter when, this is the first priority, and you can cultivate again in the house at the moment.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Young Master Zhou sent calligraphy, and in the past few days, the matter of this small inn in Hutong Lane spread quickly like wings.
More and more people know about this inn, and a lot of people still come out of curiosity, but for some reasons, after getting Xu Ming's consent, Liu Yuan has hung up a wooden sign outside the inn for the past few days.
It wasn't until the agreed gift-giving day came that the sign was taken off, and Hutong Lane, which had been remote, became lively again.
That is, after hearing that on this day, Xie Erdong walked in the direction of Hutong Lane after leaving the garrison mansion.
The inn that I didn't like at the beginning has now been transformed into a place that is famous throughout Daede-gun.
"Shopkeeper Xu, congratulations. Zheng Dahu came early, and he clenched his fists outside the door and said, and sent someone forward to hand over the gift box.
"Good, thanksgiving. Xu Ming was almost unable to close his mouth when he smiled, and the insects also took Rhubarb to accompany him, full of joy
"Xu's shopkeeper's"
As the sun approached noon, more and more people came, and Hutong Lane was once again full.
"Zhou Xiangwen, the little master of the Zhou family, arrived, and sent a pair of handwritten couplets from calligraphy master Liu Shangqing!" The six sons who accompanied Young Master Zhou shouted from afar.
With a group of idlers under his hands, he realized the usefulness at this time, and Young Master Zhou was quite complacent.
ordered someone to hang up the couplet, but found that the original plaque was covered with a black cloth, and I didn't know what it was for, so I didn't bother to pay attention to it, but looked at Xu Ming and asked, "Why didn't you see Liu Yuan?"
"In the back room, waiting for Young Master Zhou. Xu Ming whispered.
Seeing Young Master Zhou enter the house, and the leading figures in Dade County were almost here, Xu Ming stepped out of the inn, turned around and looked up at the plaque wrapped in black cloth.
sighed lightly, pulled a rope in his hand and pulled hard, and the black cloth slipped and fell, revealing the true face of the plaque inside.
"The first inn in the world. I don't know who was the first to exclaim, and a series of exclamations rang out, and the head was a little bigger.
What Liu Yuan thought at the beginning was to hang the plaque of his first inn in the world at the most beautiful time, and it was realized
