Chapter 49 Mrs. Li

After roughly counting the spiritual stones obtained in this auction, Xu Qiuqian was extremely happy.

She said to Yunyi: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat delicious food!"

Yunyi was infected by her joy and laughed too.

"Okay." He nodded obediently.

“I want to go too!” Chen Wei said quickly.

"Go, let's go together, I'll treat you to some delicious food!" If it weren't for Chen Wei, she wouldn't have been able to get so many spiritual stones in this auction!

If these spirit stones could be converted into points, they would be worth tens of thousands.

"Clan Chief Chen, are you going?"

Chen Zhuozheng smiled and shook his head: "I won't go. I have something else to do, so you can go."

After saying goodbye to Chen Zhuozheng, Yun Yi and Chen Wei followed Xu Qiuqian to a restaurant called Tao Linwan.

It was the restaurant where Yin Shijie went to the last time he invited Xu Qiuqian to dinner.

Since the last time she went there, Xu Qiuqian has been thinking that she has money this time, so she plans to treat herself to a good meal.

Arriving outside the building, Chen Wei was surprised.

"Is this one?"

"What, do you know it?"

Chen Wei nodded: "This is opened by the Zhao family, Tao Linwan of the Zhao family The food prepared is one of the best in Youling City. There is an endless stream of monks coming and going every day. I heard that all the delicacies in Taolingwan are made by one person."

Xu Qiuqian was curious: " Who?”

“I don’t know either, but since this cook became Taojuwan’s cook, Taojuwan has become more and more famous in the past twenty years. The scale of Zhaojiafu’s shop The reason why the restaurant can be so big is that the restaurant accounts for more than half of the credit."

"I see."

Since it is the Zhao family, forget it.

She didn’t recognize her last time. What if someone from the Zhao family recognizes her this time?

It’s better to be careful.

"Then let's go to another restaurant to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, something was thrown over, and Xu Qiuqian and others quickly got out of the way.

There was a loud "bang" sound, accompanied by endless screams, and it turned out to be a man.

The man had a beard, looked to be in his forties or fifties, was dressed in rich clothes, and screamed endlessly.

This movement naturally attracted the attention of people in the hall. When some people saw it, they immediately became happy.

　"Hey! Isn't this the shopkeeper Tao Juwan? Why is he still being beaten?!"

The man got up from the ground, waved his hands and smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it."

"I guess I've annoyed Madam Li again." Someone speculated.

Chen Wei explained: "Ms. Li is the cook Tao Lingyuan."

At this time, a woman came over from the backstage aggressively, holding a spatula in one hand. Wearing dark clothes and a white apron in front of her body, she has her other hand on her waist and her beautiful eyes are round.

"I tell you Zhao Mingcheng, if you dare to pick and choose from my dishes again, it won't be that simple next time!"

Zhao Mingcheng is embarrassed He kept saying: "I'm doing this for you, okay? The guests are tired of the same dishes you keep over and over again. It's time to study new dishes..."

　"I want to It’s none of your business to study when you don’t want to study?!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll never say it again.”

Mrs. Li snorted coldly. , turned around and entered the kitchen.

Zhao Mingcheng nodded and bowed to everyone: "I'm sorry for interrupting your dinner, please continue, continue."

After saying this, he also entered the kitchen in despair. .

When everyone saw that there was no fun to watch, they dispersed, but the discussion did not disperse.

Xu Qiuqian heard a monk nearby shaking his head and saying: "Ms. Li has indeed not studied new dishes for a long time. The last time she introduced new dishes was fifteen years ago. Before?"

"Yes, I am tired of eating these dishes. I see that fewer and fewer people come to Taolingwan recently."

"You can't blame her..." Someone suddenly said.

Others were immediately curious when they saw that he seemed to know something.

"How to say?"

The man sighed, and then said: "Do you know that Mrs. Li has a Taoist companion? Her Taoist companion Twenty years ago, she was seriously injured after entering the secret realm and needed many rare spiritual herbs and elixirs to survive. However, Mrs. Li and her companions were casual practitioners and did not have that many spiritual stones to buy.

Ms. Li begged people from several big families, but they all ignored her. Only the Zhao family asked her to sign a hundred-year-old prostitution contract after knowing that she could cook."

“A contract to sell oneself?!”

Everyone was surprised, and Xu Qiuqian, who had not left yet, was also a little surprised.

Monks generally do not sign a deed of betrayal.

　“Yes, the contract of betrayal. After Madam Li signed the contract of betrayal, the situation of Madam Li’s Taoist companion improved. Madam Li also worked very hard for the Zhao family during that time, but her Taoist companion only lived for five years before he died. , since then, Mrs. Li has never developed new dishes. "

"That's it. ”

Many people showed sympathy.

For the Taoist couple to sign a hundred-year contract of betrayal, it is enough to see that their relationship has many consequences.
< br />But the Taoist couple only lived for five years.

This tragic ending makes people wonder.

"But the Zhao family has a conscience. After all, although Mrs. Li signed a contract of prostitution, but the Zhao family only let her cook and cook, and she was not responsible for anything else. Even the shop owner, a member of the Zhao family, was not willing to fight back when she beat her up. "

"Nonsense, don't look at how many spiritual stones Tao Lingyuan has exchanged for the Zhao family in the past twenty years. If the store I open has a cook like Lady Li, I will definitely have to offer her up. ah! ”

“It’s not that I’m reluctant, but that I don’t dare. "Yun Yi suddenly spoke up.

Xu Qiuqian looked at Yun Yi after hearing this: "Xiao Yi, what did you see? "

Yun Yi nodded.

"When Zhao Mingcheng got up from the ground just now, I could just see his face. The expression on his face was very scary. ”

Xu Qiuqian was thoughtful.

He didn’t dare to do something to Mrs. Li. If anything happened to Mrs. Li and she couldn’t cook, he would definitely Being held accountable by the Zhao family.

But these have nothing to do with her.

“Let’s go, let’s eat somewhere else. ”

In the end, she chose another restaurant at Chen Wei’s suggestion, but she didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but Xu Qiuqian felt that the food she ate this time was not as good as Mrs. Li’s.
< br />After dinner, the sky was getting darker.

After Chen Wei said goodbye to Xu Qiuqian, Xu Qiuqian took Yun Yi back to the store.

Store Outside, Chen Wu was sitting there. When he saw Xu Qiuqian, he quickly stood up.

"Go in first and talk later. ”

Entered the store.

“Very well done! "Xu Qiuqian praised Chen Wu. If Chen Wu hadn't revealed the auction items to several big families as she requested, her auction plan might not have been so successful. "By the way, the big families didn't find out about it, right? ? "

Chen Wu said proudly: "No, I bribed the people in the City Lord's Mansion, so people from several major families will definitely not be suspicious. ”

said, fromHe took out a middle-grade spiritual stone and thirty-two low-grade spiritual stones from the storage bag.

"This is the remaining spirit stone. It cost 700 spirit stones to bribe the people in the city lord's palace."

"Take it, thank you for your hard work."< br />
"Hey, I'll accept it then, thank you, Store Manager Xu! If Store Manager Xu has anything else, just ask me!"

Xu Qiuqian thought for a moment.

“Then can you help me find out about Mrs. Tao Lingwanli?”

“No problem, don’t worry, Manager Xu, I will do it as soon as possible if you find out. Let me tell you."

Chen Wu left.

Xu Qiuqian went up to the second floor and began to excitedly count the spiritual stones obtained from this auction.
