Guide to the Empress becoming a God

Chapter 1266 Meat is expensive
Although the hand that opened the door made Ji Mei miss it, there was something good about it.

That is, it is easy to hunt wild goods recently.

Since she was 15 years old, she learned pit hunting skills from an old hunter in Jinyun Village for a period of time.

But because she is a girl after all, she is not as strong as a boy, so she can't use big hunting traps. Even if she traps big wild animals, she can't subdue them, so she only shoots a few small hunting traps to trap some small prey.

But small prey are usually more sensitive and not easy to catch.So she put those traps basically just to try her luck, and she didn't take this as a real business.

In the past month, it was considered lucky to be able to hunt three or four times, and most of the things hunted were wild rabbits, big lynx and other small things.

Now it can be hunted every now and then, and there are often good wild products such as Huan pig and roe deer.

Although such unexpected gains are gratifying, Ji Mei still has some doubts in her heart.

In previous years, larger wild animals such as pigs and roe deer would usually not come down halfway up the mountain at night, unless they were frightened by monsters or large beasts.

Ji Mei was afraid of big beasts, so she didn't dare to go to the depths of the mountain to go down to the beast pit, so her luck had never been so good in previous years.

It was also because of this that even though Jinyun Changsheng charged more rent, Ji Mei was not in short supply because of hunting a few more wild animals.

As usual, she sent the mountain goods to Miaoji Dumpling Restaurant, and the shopkeeper Miao ordered the waiter to carry them to the back kitchen and weigh them. When she settled the money for Ji Mei, she took out two other things.

The same is a few old clothes, and the other is an oiled paper bag.

Shopkeeper Miao smiled and pushed the two things in front of Ji Mei: "These are two old shirts that your second cousin used to wear, and the material of the clothes is not bad. Now that he has grown up, he can't wear them. Press The bottom of the box is a pity, I asked your aunt to wash it out and you wear it, it is just right."

Knowing that Shopkeeper Miao tore the sleeves of his clothes when he saw her coming back, Ji Mei took it to heart.

With a warm heart, Ji Mei thanked her repeatedly, and accepted a few neatly washed old clothes.

Shopkeeper Miao put the oiled paper bag in front of Ji Mei again, and said with a smile: "The custodian has never eaten this one, so I will take it home to taste it, and cook it thoroughly with water, without adding any salt, it is delicious! "

Ji Mei thought it was the freshly stewed yellow beef from the chef in Shopkeeper Miao's shop, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Miao, I often hunt wild products recently, and I have to eat meat."

Shopkeeper Miao smiled mysteriously: "How can your mountain goods be as delicious as this food? It is a real delicacy in the world, and it must be held in banquets in those wealthy and noble houses in Canglang City!"

"Shopkeeper, don't just gossip, the plate of bacon I called hot is ready!"

Shopkeeper Miao was talking, when some diners shouted loudly.

Shopkeeper Miao hurriedly ordered his staff to go to the back kitchen to urge him.

After a few breaths, Ji Mei saw a waiter holding a wooden tray, inside which was a plate of deep crimson, oily, shiny, fat and thin, white and red meat coming out.

The guy respectfully placed the plate of special-colored sliced ​​meat on the table of the diner who made the noise just now.

Ji Mei was careful, she heard the diner say the word "bacon" just now.

She had never heard of such a meat name, and of course she had never seen such a beautiful piece of meat. She couldn't help asking curiously: "What kind of meat is bacon?"

She thought it was animal meat.

Shopkeeper Miao waved his hands with a smile: "This is not something that is born on the back of a beast."

I bought a pass first, and waited until Ji Mei looked over with wide-eyed curiosity, and shopkeeper Miao explained to her carefully.

"Bacon is meat brought by a caravan that recently arrived in Canglang City, that is, the Yan family caravan. You must have heard of the Yan family caravan, right?"

"It's the suzerain of the White Mist Palace, the big caravan under the name of Yan suzerain, the one known as the 'Plastic Queen'..."

Ji Meibian originally listened carefully to the history of the bacon, but when she heard "White Mist Palace", her eyes started to wander.

What the shopkeeper Miao said later, Ji Mei basically didn't hear it.

All that remained before her eyes was that rainy night, the bowl of fragrant broth in Yemiaozi.

There is also the one that is still on the square table in her house, which she has never used since then, the cloth bag that was cleaned and folded in a square shape.

The young man, who finally responded to her words when they parted at the gate of the city, was "White Mist Palace".

Shopkeeper Miao was full of praise for the deliciousness of bacon, and he himself bought some plastic pots and jars.

The durability and beauty of these fresh containers made him very satisfied, and they also had a good reputation with the Yan family caravan.

By introducing bacon, shopkeeper Miao told all the legendary stories about the Yan family caravan that he had heard.

In fact, these stories have long been spread in the market, which is not uncommon.

But Ji Mei didn't live in the city, and lived alone in the Jinyun ancestral hall. Shopkeeper Miao told her very carefully, because the talk was so exciting that shopkeeper Miao didn't notice that Ji Mei was distracted from time to time.

After hearing all the stories, Ji Mei thanked shopkeeper Miao repeatedly, carefully put away the bacon, and walked back along Dongyeshi Street.

In the past, she seldom accepted food from shopkeeper Miao, and at most she accepted a few steamed dumplings, especially after her mother passed away.

But today, she happily accepted the bacon from Shopkeeper Miao.

When she heard that this novel meat was related to the White Mist Palace, she became interested in bacon.

In other words, she is interested in everything related to the White Mist Palace.

This does not mean that Ji Mei is particularly concerned about the young monk who is still clothed in pockets, but her life track is too monotonous, and it is rare for such a dazzling light to shine in.

A more appropriate description than "interested" should be "cherished".

Just like a child who is locked in the same room all day long, even if he sees a stray cat passing by the window sill, he will cherish it very much.

With that piece of bacon with a very different meaning in his arms, Ji Meibian walked to the gate of Luomei Temple unknowingly.

She entered the city early today, and there was no one at the gate of Luomei Temple, which seemed a little deserted.

Only a snack seller pushing a delicate chicken cart stood guard beside the chicken cart.

A middle-aged man dressed outside the staff was bargaining with the shopkeeper.

The food they were bargaining for was a piece of raw bacon.

"Seven taels of silver? Thanks to you daring to shout it out, why don't you go grab it!"

The member's eyes widened, and he pointed at the salesman's nose and yelled, obviously shocked by the price of bacon.

Ji Meibian who passed by on the roadside was also taken aback.

She stopped, subconsciously touched her arms.

She didn't expect bacon to be so expensive.

The whole paw badger she sold to the dumpling restaurant in the morning was only worth 12 taels of silver.

The peddler likes to answer: "I think it's expensive here, you can go to the main street and inquire. If it's less than ten taels of silver, I'll give it away for free!"

When the salesman and the staff were discussing the price of meat, the double doors of Luomei Temple were quietly opened halfway, and a very handsome young lady came out.
