The rest are various snack shops. I go in when I see a shop, and I always carry two paper bags when I come out. When I returned to the meeting place, two maids were waiting for me.
The three of us met and walked back to the house where Bai Mudan lived. The secret guard sent by Ou Yong followed me along the way and did not follow the other two maids.
After entering the house, they did not dare to follow him and stayed on the big tree outside the house.
Two maids helped me deliver my things to the guest room. I thanked them and then 'unpacked' them with Yun Zhou.
There are hundreds of snack shops in Yuancheng, found on every commercial street. The snacks here are much better than those in small towns and counties.
The key is to use enough ingredients and all the accessories. Fresh milk is used instead of water, and honey is used instead of sugar.
Ordinarily, Yunzhou hasn’t eaten anything good?
As long as he wants, there is no snack he can't eat.
But his current behavior would make people mistakenly think that he had been hungry every day and had never eaten good food since he was a child.
No one else was present, so he ate confidently and voraciously.
I tasted each piece one by one in order to remember the ingredients, and I also bought a bunch of books on pastry making. Selling and eating them every day is not a long-term solution. From now on, he will follow me in farming. How can he go to the city to buy snacks every day? It doesn’t look like he is going through life, so I plan to wait until things stabilize and make snacks for him at home, which is clean and hygienic and saves money.
Whether it's braised noodles, dried meat, or candied haws, I make them at home for him.
I know that the secret guards sent by Ou Yong will definitely go to the bookstore to find out what books I bought after I leave.
I have bought up all the wealth codes. They can't get the books, but they can find the same farming books and recipes.
When Ou Yong gets his reward, I wonder what secrets can be derived from it.
At noon the next day, Yunzhou was eating and drinking, and the guards Jia and Xin, whom he had forgotten about, were led in by Lu Youkang.
The two of them saw Yun Zhou as if they were relatives. Yun Zhou just subconsciously protected the rice bowl in front of him and quickly stuffed the piece of braised pork in the bowl into his mouth.
How could the two people who had lived with us for a few days not understand what Yunzhou meant. They waved their hands quickly and said, "No, no, please eat slowly, sir."
I observed their complexions and saw that they were strong and healthy, with no injuries or torture.
It seems that Ou Yong did not abuse them while we were gone.
Yunzhou only cared about his braised pork. Guards Jia and Xin felt relieved when they saw that their master could eat and drink and knew that he was fine.
Lu Youkang bowed his hand to me as a greeting. I never like to do these polite things, and the original person is not in the habit of doing so. I wanted her to only salute to her master, and other people would not be able to see her face at all, and those who have seen her face, generally It was her assassination target, and she had never failed...
"Hello." I decided to greet people in my usual way.
Lu Youkang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master is still so cold."
He escaped completely by his own ability from the house where the Golden Gu Society imprisoned him, but he called me an expert and wore a high hat for no reason. There must be a 'hole' waiting for me behind.
When Lu Youkang arrived, Bai Mudan got the news and immediately ran over from her yard. Her daughter's restraint was nowhere to be found in her.
He would hold Lu Youkang's hand as soon as he met him, and he had to hold hands when talking.
I immediately felt that the sweet and sour fish for lunch had too much sweet and sour sauce, which was so sweet that it hit my throat and my teeth were so sour.
The two people who were showing off their affection didn't realize anything was wrong. The hands they held seemed to be glued together, and they sat down to talk without letting go.
The two sang together and brought the topic to 'treatment'.
Because no matter what they do, I am just a listener, without commenting or participating.
Yun Zhou was dipping his steamed buns into the vegetable soup on his plate. He was eating without any fuss.
Lu Youkang said that he wanted to go to Yaoxian Valley to seek medicine, and Bai Mudan said that she would try her best to catch the poisoner.
However, the current progress of both of them is not going well. Lu Youkang asked the disciples of Yaoxian Valley that Yaoxian Valley also sent people to participate in this martial arts conference. Lu Youkang talked with them and found that the owner of the valley, Doctor Xue, went out to travel around the beginning of the year. There are no detoxification experts in the valley now.
Bai Mudan also sighed and mentioned her difficulties. She sent people to check all the people who could come into contact with Alliance Leader Lu, even those who met through the air.
However, they have not been contaminated by the strange poison poisoned by the alliance leader. The Lu family has systematically trained domestic dogs. Whether it is tracking people or distinguishing smells, they are professionals.
"If the person who poisoned the poison can do it remotely, the range would be too large. Tracking down the murderer would be like finding a needle in a haystack." Bai Mudan looked sad. Lu Youkang held her hand, exerted slight pressure, and held her hand with the other hand. On the back of their hands, the two people looked at each other, making eye contact.
"I can help, but I have to pay a fee." Since I have been involved in the chaos of the world, I can't do it for nothing, I have to get money to do it.
"You can set the price as you wish!" Bai Mudan and Lu Youkang said in unison.
"Is it reasonable to double the price of saving you two?" Leader Lu is their elder, so he is worth this price.
"Deal!" The two of them responded hastily, as if they were afraid that I would change my mind.
"You still have to take care of the food." I added.
Bai Mudan and Lu Youkang glanced at Yunzhou, who was scraping the plate, and nodded heavily: "It's a must!"
Compared with tracking down the murderer, it was more important to detoxify Alliance Leader Lu first. I prepared toys for Yunzhou, asked guards Jia and Xin to play with him, and arranged him properly. Then I followed Lu Youkang to Lu's house.
I only said that I would look for clues to the poisoning from Alliance Leader Lu, but I didn’t say that I would cure the disease and detoxify it.
Lu Youkang claimed to the outside world that I was a distant relative of the Lu family and came to the martial arts conference to join in the fun.
Others call me "big cousin" in front of others, and Bai Mudan also calls me "big cousin".
Even though I may have an appearance of three thousand miles, I am still a relative who can be beaten with eight sticks, servants of the Lu family, relatives and friends, and they will say hello politely when they see me.
I was carrying a 'gift' in my hand, and I couldn't come empty-handed when visiting relatives. I bought a sword on the way here, and I carried it on my back so that others would know what the gift was without having to guess.
Leader Lu's residence is guarded by special personnel, and no one is allowed to enter unless they have a token.
The news of his poisoning was sealed to the outside world, and the people guarding the yard were absolutely trustworthy people.
Lu Youkang explained that he suspected that there was a spy within the Wulin Alliance and even the Lu family, so it was not convenient to arrange manpower to investigate.
When one of their own has a problem, they can only turn to 'outsiders' for help first.
Someone who has nothing to do with the Wulin Alliance and the Lu family.
I am the best candidate in their minds. I have nothing to do with any martial arts sect, and I have no conflict of interest with the Wulin Alliance.
They are strangers to the Lu family, so if they can get money to do things, they will feel relieved. As long as money can solve the problem, it is not a problem for the Lu and Bai families.
I stepped into the courtyard with my big sword on my back. Lu Youkang led the way, but Bai Mudan did not follow.
The small courtyard where Leader Lu lives is secluded and elegant, with flowers, grass, small bridges and flowing water, and the smell of 'silver' is everywhere.
