Fairyland Grocery

Chapter 49

Xu Qiuqian was overjoyed after roughly counting the spirit stones obtained in this auction.

She said to Yun Yi: "Go, I'll take you to eat delicious food!"

Yun Yi was infected by her joy and laughed too.

"Okay." He nodded obediently.

"I'm going too!" Chen Wei said hastily.

"Go, let's go together, I'll treat you to some delicious food too!" If it wasn't for Chen Wei, she wouldn't have gotten so many spirit stones in this auction!

If these spirit stones were converted into points, tens of thousands would be worth it.

"Patriarch Chen, are you going?"

Chen Zhuo smiled and shook his head: "I won't go, I still have something to do, you go."

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

It was the restaurant where Yin Shizhen invited Xu Qiuqian to dinner last time.

Since the last time I went there, Xu Qiuqian has been thinking about it, this time I have money, so I plan to treat myself well.

When he came outside the building, Chen Wei was surprised.

"This one?"

"What, do you know each other?"

Chen Wei nodded: "This is opened by the Zhao family. The food made by Zhao's Tao Lingwan is one of the most delicious in Youling City. There are a lot of monks coming and going every day. I heard that all the delicacies in this Tao Lingwan are made by one person."

Xu Qiuqian was curious: "Who?"

"I don't know, but since this cook became Tao Juwan's cook, Tao Juwan has become more and more famous in the past 20 years. The reason why Zhaojiafu's shop can be opened so large is the restaurant's credit. .”

"I see."

Since it's the Zhao family, forget it.

I didn't know her last time, what if someone from the Zhao family recognizes her this time?
Still be careful.

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

As soon as the words were finished, something was thrown over, and Xu Qiuqian and the others hurriedly stepped aside.

The loud "bang" sound, accompanied by the screams of ouch, turned out to be a man.

The man had a beard, looked like forty or fifty, dressed richly, screaming like hell.

This movement naturally attracted the attention of the people in the hall, and when someone saw it, they were immediately amused.

"Hey! Isn't this Tao Juwan's treasurer? How could he still be beaten?!"

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

"Maybe he has offended Lady Li again." Someone guessed.

Chen Wei explained: "Miss Li is Tao Lingwan's cook."

At this time, a woman came over aggressively from the backstage. She was holding a spatula in one hand, wearing dark clothes, a white apron in front of her body, and her other hand was on her hip, her eyes were round.

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

Zhao Mingcheng was embarrassed: "Aren't I doing this for your own good? You keep repeating those dishes, and the guests are getting tired of eating them. It's time to research new dishes..."

"Should I study when it's none of your business?!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more."

Only then did Lady Li snort coldly, then turned and entered the back kitchen.

Zhao Mingcheng nodded and bowed to everyone: "I'm really sorry, all the guests, for interrupting your meal, everyone, go on, go on."

After speaking, he also entered the back kitchen in a desperate manner.

Seeing that there was no fun to watch, everyone dispersed, but the discussion did not.

Xu Qiuqian heard a monk who was close shook his head and said: "Miss Li has indeed not studied new dishes for a long time. The last time a new dish was released seems to be 15 years ago, right?"

"Yes, I'm tired of eating these dishes, and I see that there are fewer and fewer people coming to Tao Lingwan recently."

"It can't be her fault..." Someone suddenly said.

When the others saw that he seemed to know something inside, they were immediately curious.

"How to say?"

The man sighed, and then said: "Do you know that Lady Li has a Taoist companion, and her Taoist companion was seriously injured after entering a secret realm 20 years ago, and needs many rare spirit herbs and pills to continue his life?" , but Mrs. Li and her Taoist companions are casual cultivators, and there are not so many spirit stones to buy.

At that time, Mrs. Li begged people from several big families, but they ignored her. Only the Zhao family asked her to sign a [-]-year contract of selling herself after knowing that she could cook. "

"A contract of sale?!"

Everyone was surprised, and Xu Qiuqian who hadn't left was also a little surprised.

Monks generally do not sign the deed of sale.

"Yes, the deed of sale. After Miss Li signed the deed of sale, the situation of Mrs. Li's Taoist companion improved. During that time, Mrs. Li also worked very hard for the Zhao family, but her Taoist companion died after only five years. Since then, Lady Li has never researched any new dishes."

"I see."

Many showed sympathy.

For the sake of the Taoist couple, they are willing to sign a [-]-year contract of selling themselves, which is enough to show how much their relationship is behind them.

But the Taoist companion only lived for five years.

This tragic ending makes people feel sad.

"However, the Zhao family has a conscience. After all, although Madam Li signed the deed of selling herself, the Zhao family only let her cook and cook, and she doesn't care about the rest. Even the storekeeper, a Zhao family, is not willing to fight back when she beats her. "

"Nonsense, don't look at how many spirit stones Tao Lingwan has exchanged for the Zhao family in the past 20 years. If there is a cook like Mrs. Li in my shop, she must be offered as well!"

"It's not that I'm reluctant, but that I don't dare." Yun Yi suddenly said.

Xu Qiuqian looked at Yun Yi after hearing the words: "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 scary."

Xu Qiuqian was thoughtful.

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

But these have nothing to do with her.

"Come on, let's go eat somewhere else."

Finally, under Chen Wei's suggestion, I chose another restaurant, but I don't know if it was a psychological effect, Xu Qiuqian felt that the food this time was not as good as Li Niangzi's.

After dinner, the sky tends to darken.

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

Outside the store, Chen Wu was sitting there, seeing Xu Qiuqian and the other, he quickly stood up.

"Go ahead and talk about it."

into the store.

"Very well done!" Xu Qiuqian praised Chen Wu, if Chen Wu hadn't disclosed the auction items to several big families as she requested, her auction plan might not have been so successful, "By the way, I didn't let How many families have found it?"

Chen Wu proudly said: "No, I have bribed the people in the City Lord's Mansion, so the people from the big families will definitely not have any doubts."

With that said, he took out a middle-grade spirit stone and 32 low-grade spirit stones from the storage bag.

"This is the remaining spirit stone. The person who bought the city lord's mansion spent 700 yuan of spirit stone."

"Take it, it's hard work."

"Hey, I'll accept it then, thank you Manager Xu! If Manager Xu has anything else, just tell me!"

Xu Qiuqian thought for a while.

"Then can you help me find out about Mrs. Tao Ling Wanli?"

"No problem, store manager Xu, don't worry, I will let you know as soon as I find out."

Chen Wu left.

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