Fantasy: I Become A Saint By Burning Corpses

"It turns out to be shopkeeper Chen. I'm Li Bai. This is my brother Zhou Bao. I'm glad to meet you."

Li Ye said with cupped hands.

Zhou Bao then greeted the shopkeeper.

"It turns out it's Brother Li and Brother Zhou. It's their first time here at Hongbin Tower. I wonder if the food here is to your liking?"

said the shopkeeper.

The reason why I asked this was because the shopkeeper noticed that the food on the table between them had not been touched.

Zhou Bao's dissatisfied tears were about to flow from the corners of his mouth. He was about to say something when Li Ye stopped him.

Li Ye slowly raised his chopsticks and said calmly: "You won't know until you eat it whether it suits your appetite."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of beef with soy sauce and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly.

The head shopkeeper of Hongbin Tower appeared in front of two people who looked like beggars. The guests dining in Hongbin Tower cast curious glances.

"how?"

The shopkeeper asked, the confidence on his face was palpable.

This soy sauce beef is the specialty of their Hongbin Restaurant. It has a radius of eighty miles. He said it was second, but no one dared to say it was first.

puff!

Suddenly, Li Ye vomited all over the shopkeeper and spit out all the beef he had taken into his mouth.

"you......"

The latter was furious.

"Shopkeeper, why is your sauced beef so fishy? How can people eat it?"

Li Ye questioned.

Zhou Bao was also eating, and he felt that this beef was simply the most delicious thing in the world. He couldn't help but beam with joy, but when he saw Li Ye vomiting it out, he also vomited it.

Don't know why though.

"Yes, let people eat it how they want."

Zhou Bao said.

The shopkeeper was confused.

fishy?

No one makes this soy sauce beef better than their Hong Bin Restaurant.

If this is all fishy, ​​other restaurants can only describe it as smelly.

"Haha, we can't be two freeloaders, right?"

"Boy, look at you two, have you ever eaten soy beef in your life?"

"It seems that the shopkeeper made a mistake this time."

Hongbin Tower suddenly resounded with sarcastic voices.

The diners who didn't speak crossed their arms and looked like they were watching a good show.

The shopkeeper's face turned green and red, and he pointed at Li Ye and Li Ye: "My soy sauce beef is fishy? Have you ever tasted better soy sauce beef than this?"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame Chen for being ruthless."

The shopkeeper's voice fell, and a group of burly men rushed out of the back hall of the restaurant. They did not approach, but their fierce expressions were very scary.

Zhou Bao looked back, almost frightened out of his wits by the battle.

Damn it, I can't leave even if I jump out of the window.

Little brother Li Bai is too impulsive.

"Of course! If I haven't tasted better, how could I find this beef unpalatable?"

Li Ye responded calmly.

The shopkeeper's face looked ferocious: "You are telling lies with open eyes. The taste of beef is strong. My Hongbinlou is already the best at handling it."

"The Belvedere has a radius of eighty miles. Chen said he was second, but no one dared to say he was first. You actually said you have eaten better sauce beef than my Hongbin Restaurant?"

Li Ye waved his hand:

"I don't care how you handle it, but I ask you, did you wash it before cooking?"

"Of course, the blood stains on the surface have been washed away. You don't need to remind me."

"Then can you soak it in water overnight?"

"Wha...what?"

"Beef smells fishy because of its blood. If you don't soak the blood, how can you avoid it? Let me ask you again, can you add laurel leaves when cooking meat?"

"..."

"Have you added cinnamon?"

"Added..."

Can laurel leaves, cinnamon bark, and other things be used as condiments?

The shopkeeper hesitated and was speechless when asked by Li Ye.

The leaves of the laurel tree, that is, the fragrant leaves and cinnamon bark of the previous life, were all seasonings used in every household in the previous life.

But it seems that people in this world haven't taken advantage of it yet.

Although the shopkeeper tried his best, the food cooked was still not satisfactory to Li Ye, a person from the 21st century.

The other guests looked at each other.

Laurel leaves, cinnamon bark?

Are they just those weeds and trees outside the city?

Isn't this guy trying to trick the shopkeeper like a monkey?

The shopkeeper also felt this way, and his face gradually became distorted: "The clear water and blood method means that Mr. Chen approves you, but..."

Li Ye secretly thought something was wrong. This old boy didn't approve of his formula and wanted to use force.

He secretly thought that he had made a miscalculation. Although he was not afraid, he did not want to make things worse.

Just at this time, a lady wearing red clothes and exquisite makeup came down from upstairs.

"Well, if you don't believe it, you can ask this lady."

Li Ye came to the lady before she could react and told her his recipe.

"This young master is right. The leaves of the laurel tree, the bark of the laurel tree, and the wild star anise are indeed essential condiments for cooking."

"It's often used in my house, shopkeeper Chen. It's because you are so ignorant that you almost wronged a good person."

The lady raised her white and pointed chin and said to the shopkeeper.

Seeing this person speaking, the scene suddenly burst into uproar.

Because this woman's identity is unusual, she is the wife of the commander-in-chief of Belvedere.

Who dares not to believe her words?

But how did this boy know that these condiments would be used in the cooking of the General Military Mansion?

People have doubts in their minds.

Be as good as your word: Women believe whatever you say.

...

"It was Chen who had little knowledge and almost wronged the two heroes. Please forgive me."

The commander-in-chief’s wife has proven it, so the shopkeeper can’t help but believe it.

So he immediately surrendered and apologized to Li Ye.

Li Ye frowned, then pointed at the thug in front of him with a half-smile and said, "Haha, I kindly told you my unique recipe, but you, the shopkeeper, want to slap us with sticks."

"Is this how Hongbin Tower treats guests?"

The shopkeeper's expression stiffened, and he waved the thugs away. After thinking about it, he said, "It's Chen's fault. This meal is my apology. I don't know what you think."

This...is this free meal?

Zhou Bao, who was sitting in his seat, was dumbfounded and his brain was already a little exhausted.

At that moment, I admired Li Ye so much.

Li Ye did not respond to the shopkeeper's words, but said to the lady in front of him: "Thank you, madam. Madam, please go back first. We will pretend that we have never seen each other today."

While speaking, his mouth glowed with an imperceptible golden light.

The general's wife naturally obeyed: "Young master is right, I have not seen you today, so I have to take my leave."

So just like that, the general's wife, accompanied by several maids behind her, left Hongbin Tower.

Li Ye returned to his seat, picked up his chopsticks, plucked the whole roast chicken in front of him twice, and said to himself: "Shopkeeper, do you want to add a signature dish to your restaurant?"

The shopkeeper Chen Hong's eyes lit up: "...what kind of dish."

Li Ye responded: "Have you ever heard of Babao Chicken?"

Babao chicken?

For a moment, the shopkeeper almost remembered everything from his previous life, but he couldn't find the memory of Babao Chicken.

"Come here and get one hundred taels of silver!"

"No, two hundred taels."

"Five hundred taels..."

The shopkeeper told the waiter that he found Li Ye busy working on the rice. It wasn't until he said five hundred taels that Li Ye put down his chopsticks.

Five hundred taels of silver is too much, too heavy, and inconvenient to carry. So, the clerk took out the banknote.

The shopkeeper handed it to Li Ye in a flattering manner.

In this era, five hundred taels is an astronomical sum for people at the bottom.

With Li Ye's previous guidance, the shopkeeper felt that if he got the secret recipe of Babao Chicken, he might make Hongbin Tower the No. 1 restaurant in Belvedere.

It's only five hundred taels of silver, and it's just a few tables of food, which is nothing compared to the recipe of Babao Chicken.

"Brother Chen is interested, let it go."

"Bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Li Ye said.
