He Xiao immediately snapped his fingers twice.
After the snap of fingers, two guards slowly walked into the hall.
Both guards were wearing golden clothes, but the golden color was much lighter than He Xiao's golden color, more like the background color of He Xiao's dazzling golden color.
The right chest of the golden dress is embroidered with a golden phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly, with a white turban on its head.
After the two people walked into the hall, one stood respectfully behind He Xiao, and the other took out a golden wooden box from his arms.
When he opened the wooden box, he saw ten silver ingots inside, full and shining. .
One silver ingot is worth ten taels, and ten silver ingots are worth one hundred taels.
At the beginning, everyone heard the gold-wrapped man list such a menu, which they had never heard of before.
They immediately thought that this man was just here to ruin things.
Later, when they heard that Qin Zheng actually agreed to all the menus, they couldn't help but sigh that Chef Qin Zheng The art is brilliant, and the knowledge seems to be broad.
When they saw the golden-robed guard coming in again, they were all stunned by He Xiao.
You must know that what everyone sees every day is the mysterious-robed guard.
Where are there so many golden-robed guards?
Those who wear golden clothes and embroider golden phoenixes, that is The Phoenix City Lord's personal guardian.
When this person generously gave away another hundred taels of silver, some people even wondered whether such a generous gesture was really the ancestor in the city.
At this time, there were traveling merchants in the crowd.
A knowledgeable person suddenly had a flash of light in his head.
He remembered that the Lord of Phoenix City was indeed a man of gold.
This happened to be the one who had yelled and scolded He Xiao before.
He was sweating coldly and wanted to bury him. into the soup bowl so that He Xiao would never notice herself.
At this time, He Xiao didn't care about this.
He ordered the guard in gold to hand the silver ingot to Qin Zheng and said: "These silver are used to purchase ingredients, and the rest is the reward for shopkeeper Qin's hard work.
Please accept it." " Qin Zheng was not polite and reached out to take it.
Seeing this, He Xiao's smile grew thicker: "In three days, I will come to taste the dishes.
I will take my leave today."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Qin Zheng to say anything, and left swinging his folding fan.
He walked slowly and leisurely, and as he walked, the golden mountain and river pictures and various small ingots on the tail of his robe shone with his movements.
One of the two gold-clad guards thoughtfully helped He Xiao pick up the golden trousers he had put aside, while the other still followed He Xiao respectfully, still holding the golden wooden box when he came.
The good guy followed to the door and looked up at the carriage outside.
He couldn't help but exclaimed.
The carriage was also bright yellow, and the hood of the carriage was inlaid with gold wire.
That's all.
Even the horses pulling the carriage were made of gold.
The gold bridle, I don’t know if it is real gold or fake gold.
The God of Wealth in the sky is not as dazzling as this one, right?
After the gleaming He Xiao left, Qin Zheng and Lu Fang returned to the backyard, holding the ten silver ingots.
Lu Fang looked at Qin Zheng: "Are you really going to cook those dishes for him?"
Being born into a family like the Lu family, Lu Fang generally knows about these dishes, and may have eaten them at other people's family banquets, but after all, the Lu family is a family of military officers who have been generals for generations, and they never pay special attention to these dishes.
The sour things of men of letters.
For example, the hangover soup is just a hangover soup.
We don’t go out of our way to make anything vegetarian, meaty, agar-agar or crystal pickled.
He looked on coldly at He Xiao's behavior of coming here to ask for this or that.
Not to mention anything else, there was something wrong with the way he looked at Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng also felt that He Xiao was a little abnormal, but she didn't care.
There was money to be made and fame to be gained, so why not do it.

Besides, she had a strange intuition that He Xiao was the one who opened their new relationship.
The door to life.
Qin Zheng understood the current scene outside.
A young general who used to be bloodthirsty and invincible in killing enemies had been washing vegetables and cooking for her.
If this continued, she felt a little sorry for the dead people in Dayan.
At that moment, Qin Zheng took ninety taels of one hundred taels of silver and put them away.
He took the other ten taels and went out to buy ingredients for the dishes three days later.
Ever since Torre discovered that He Xiao was coming, he had been hiding aside and not daring to show his face, as if he were a thief.
Seeing this, Qin Zheng couldn't help but joked: "You are just a little Xuanyi guard.
People may not know you."
But Torre was still trembling, as if he had seen a ghost: "You can't see this person, he has very sharp eyes."
At this time, Qin Zheng was going to buy ingredients, and Torre Baba wanted to follow him.
Qin Zheng had no choice but to see that noon was almost over and all the meals that should be cooked were on the table, so he had no choice but to take him there.
Along the way, Torre asked questions here and there, and asked what this dish was and what that dish was.
Qin Zheng had no choice but to explain one by one.
It turns out that this sobering ice has meat and vegetable ingredients.
The meat version is a common snack called crystal stew, which is made from red carp scales, washed and soaked in water overnight.
The next day, simmer it in a pot with new water.
When the juice is thickened, remove the scales and let it cool to freeze.
Cut it thinly, add various seasonings, and mix with vinegar.
Nowadays, this is often used to sober up.
It is also a popular snack in the market.
As for the sober-up ice, it is much more elegant.
It is made by soaking Qiongzhi vegetables in rice juice, exposing them to the sun for several days, and stirring them from time to time.
When they turn white, wash them, mash them, cook them over low heat, and then take them out and put them aside.
In an elegant utensil, put a dozen plum petals, freeze them into blocks, and then add some ginger and orange to taste.
Before Qin Zheng could continue to explain, Torre felt that one head was as big as two, and he couldn't help but murmured: "In our West Country, if you get drunk, just sleep on it and you will be fine the next day.
Where do you need anything?"
As for the hangover soup, I have never thought about it so much."
The next day happened to be the first day of the twelfth lunar month, so Qin Zheng closed his doors so that his few employees could take a rest.
Unexpectedly, early in the morning, I heard a knock on the door.
When I opened it, I saw the shining golden Shi Shiran standing by the door, shaking the golden bone fan in the cold weather.
There were no outsiders here.
Qin Zheng yawned and said with a cold face: "Sir, we are closed today.
Come back tomorrow.
If you want to eat your special dishes, come back in two days."
He was about to close the door.
He Xiao hurriedly stepped forward, moved the folding fan slightly, put a folding fan against the door to prevent it from closing, and said with a smile: "Don't call me guest, you are so cute, why don't you just call me Brother He."
Qin Zheng frowned and looked at the crow's feet at the corners of He Xiao's eyes: "Brother, forget it.
Since your surname is He, let's call him Master He."
He Xiao heard this and said very displeasedly: "No, no, Master He is still too raw.
Call me Mr.
He."
Qin Zheng felt a few black lines appear on her forehead.
Well, let's call him Mr.

He, although she didn't understand which one would look more indifferent between Mr.
He and Mr.
He.
The gleaming Mr.
He walked in, looked around in the small courtyard, and finally nodded and said, "It's very tidy."
When Qin Zheng heard the compliment, he asked expressionlessly: "Master He, may I ask why you came here today?"
Hearing Qin Zheng's emotionless voice, He Xiao looked at her and said with a half smile: "Young head of the Qin family, why are you talking without even a smile?
Yesterday I thought you were quite enthusiastic."
Qin Zheng was speechless and said in a cold voice: "Yesterday it was business, but today we are closed.
Besides," she said in a light tone, "there is no reason to entertain guests in the backyard."
He Xiao smiled and stared at her: "It's interesting that the young head of the Qin family can distinguish so clearly.
He is a guest from afar.
Could it be that when I, He, come, the young head of the Qin family can't entertain us?"
Qin Zheng nodded and stretched out his hand in a low-spirited manner: "Mr.
He, please sit down.
I'll make you some tea."
He Xiao waved the folding fan proudly: "This is quite reasonable."
Lu Fang got up early.
He always got up early.
Every morning he would go out to fetch water, go back and forth several times, fill up a large water tank in the kitchen, and then start feeding the horses. water.
Just as He Xiao and Qin Zheng were talking, the door was pushed open again, and Lu Fang came back carrying a pole.
When he saw He Xiaozai, he only glanced at it briefly, and then went straight to the kitchen.
Then he heard the sound of splashing, and two buckets of water were poured into the large water tank.
He Xiao shook his head and frowned: "The young head of the Qin family, you, this guy, don't understand etiquette too much."
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Really?
But it's ridiculous that all my men are like this."
Torre is not much better than Lu.
When He Xiao heard this, he chuckled, glanced sideways in the direction of the kitchen and said, "But this guy is very capable."
Qin Zheng said calmly: "That's natural."
He Xiao looked at Qin Zheng: "The young head of the Qin family is so lucky to have such a capable man."
Qin Zheng was speechless.
She was too lazy to deal with such polite words.
He Xiao looked at Qin Zheng carefully: "By the way, the young head of the Qin family, I heard that you have been in the capital of Dayan for more than ten years."
Qin Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Master He, you can call me Shopkeeper Qin, or you can call me by my name."
He Xiao followed the good advice and said: "Shopkeeper Qin, then, you have been working in Dayan for more than ten years."
Qin Zheng nodded: "Yes, we depend on each other for life."
He Xiao let out a long "Oh" and asked again: "Where is the mother-in-law?"
Qin Zheng lowered his eyes: "My mother left when I was just one month old."
When He Xiao heard this, his smile slowly faded: "Leave" Qin Zheng said: "I left for some reason and there is no trace of him yet."
He Xiao shook his head and sighed: "It's really pitiful."
Qin Zheng nodded: "My father and I have been trying to find my mother, but unfortunately, there has been no news for so many years."
He Xiao nodded understandingly: "Shopkeeper Qin's filial piety in looking for his biological mother is really disappointing.
If there is anyone who needs He's help, please ask."
After hearing this, Qin Zheng cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Mr.
He."

It would be great if He Xiao could help him find his mother.
What kind of power does the city lord of Phoenix City have?
In the territory of Phoenix City, finding someone would not take a moment.
However, a businessman cannot afford to be too early if he has no profit.
To put it bluntly, He Xiao is the number one businessman in the world.
If he really helps him find someone, he must have a purpose.
The two of them chatted again, but He Xiao asked casually, and Qin Zheng answered a few words quietly.
After a while, Tuo Lei got up.
Hearing voices from Qin Zheng's side, he came over.
When he opened the door and saw He Xiao, he was really startled.
He Xiao stared at Torre for a moment and said, "Why, this guy looks familiar."
Qin Zheng immediately ordered Tuo Lei to pour tea and said casually: "He is just a rough guy who cannot read or write.
Mr.
He has never seen him before."
Seeing this, Torre deliberately said loudly in a thick local accent: "Master, I know, I'm going to light a fire and make tea."
This Nishino accent is indeed a bit unfamiliar.
He Xiao didn't mention Torre anymore.
After chatting for a while, He Xiao asked questions.
After taking a final sip of the tea handed over by Torre, he finally patted his butt and left like a golden flower.
After He Xiao left, Torre breathed a sigh of relief: "I felt uncomfortable when I saw him, and felt uncomfortable all over."
Lu Fang was silent for a moment, and finally said to Qin Zheng, "Brother Zheng, be careful."
Qin Zheng nodded: "Let's go and see."
Soon on the third day, Qin Zheng had prepared all the dishes and ingredients that He Xiao wanted.
Before noon, most of the store was full, except for the table reserved by He Xiao.
Everyone has guessed that this glittering gentleman is the one from Phoenix City.
I heard that he came in a golden carriage with golden guards.
He lives in the most luxurious Penglai Inn in Shilipu. in every room.
The news spread quickly, and everyone said anything.
However, everyone speculated that it must be the fame of Qin Zheng's Lujia cuisine that alerted the Lord of the City, which made the Lord of the City come in person.
Everyone speculated that maybe the city lord wanted to invite Qin Zheng to be his exclusive chef.
Some said, "Oh, that would be a pity.
If Qin Zheng becomes the chef, wouldn't we be able to eat such delicious food?"
.
Of course, more people wanted to watch the excitement.
They knew that Qin Zheng was going to present the dishes to the Lord of the City at noon today.
They didn’t know whether Qin Zheng could cook them and whether the Lord of the City would be satisfied.
Because they were curious about this, a group of people from ten miles away People who have nothing to do include A small number of merchants who stayed for two days specifically for this matter went to the one-person restaurant in the morning to get a seat.
Many people did not get a seat, which was a pity, so they claimed to be helpful by claiming to be familiar with Qin Zheng.
After washing vegetables, I ran to the backyard and peeked in the window.
Among the people here, there are naturally familiar ones, such as the little girl Cui'er.
Since the Xia Mingyue incident, Cui'er has been to the Renren Restaurant, but she has been turned away.
Now that she heard about it, she wanted to come and have a look.
At noon, the sun was shining into the restaurant, and He Xiao, still dressed in gold, was seen waddling in.
Today he changed into a white turban, which was still embroidered with gold thread.
The pattern on the black robe was no longer a picture of mountains and rivers, but a picture of flowers and birds.

Unfortunately, the embroidered flowers and birds were not holding elegant things such as pandan.
But little golden beads.
The glittering He Xiao entered the small restaurant, and the people in the restaurant were immediately dazzled.
Qin Zheng had been waiting for a long time, and then he ordered Tuo Lei to serve the dishes, and the dishes were put out one after another.
The first dish is the sober-up ice.
The translucent gelatin is fresh and full of color.
When the plate is moved, the gelatin trembles slightly, full and beautiful.
However, there are several plum blossoms in the gelatin, which are beautiful and red, blooming charmingly in the agar.
In the middle, I cried and complained.
As soon as this dish was served, everyone smelled a faint fragrance, including the fragrance of plum blossoms and the elegance of agar.
Finally I almost couldn't help but swallowed.
I didn't know what such a beautiful food would taste like in my mouth.
Is it clear and thirst-quenching, or refreshing?
Everyone was drooling while staring at the so-called vegetarian sobering ice, and suddenly they saw a second dish on the road.
The so-called Bo Xia Gong turned out to be sliced rabbit meat, rinsed in a hot pot, and served with A small bowl of seasoning.
The focus of this dish is the delicious flavor of rabbit meat and the combination of seasonings.
From the color, everyone could not tell the reason.
They could only smell the alluring fragrance of the rabbit meat, which made people feel as if their stomachs were about to move, craving for that bit of rabbit meat.
I’ve also eaten rabbit meat before.
Why haven’t I smelled it so fragrant?
Maybe they should try it again when they go back.
At this time, the third dish of crab stuffed with orange was served, and finally the staple food was crispy green leaves and cocklebur rice.
Each dish has a unique and fresh taste that makes people want to pounce on it and take a bite.
Finally swallowing his saliva, he ate the food on his plate with the smell coming from over there.
Oh, actually the food on his plate was also very delicious, but these were all things he had eaten before, and there was no food on the plate of the City Lord.
Elegant and fresh He Xiao fanned the golden bone fan that had never left his hand for thousands of years, and smiled as he watched the dishes being served.
It can be seen that the dishes are cooked well, and the plates are specially bought to match these dishes.
Qin Zheng really put his heart into it.
When the dishes were all served, the golden guard on the side handed him a silver chopstick.
He first tasted a mouthful of plain sober ice.
After chewing it slowly, a thicker smile appeared in his eyes.
He looked at Qin Zheng, who was not far away, nodded and said: "Excellent, excellent."
Throughout the meal, the golden He Xiao didn't speak any more, and just ate slowly with a smile.
He ate very carefully and gracefully.
After finishing the meal, there was no trace left on the corner of his mouth, and the plate did not feel messy at all, but was very neat and clean.
Throughout the whole meal, people around him didn't dare to talk or play, and they all just lowered their heads and ate in silence.
Finally, the Lord of He Xiao City ate up all the food, and there was no food left at all.
The guard in gold clothes on the side handed over a handkerchief, and everyone was almost speechless.
It turned out that the handkerchief was also yellow with gold embroidery.
City Lord He Xiao wiped his hands and mouth with a yellow handkerchief dyed with tulips and trimmed with gold, then stood up leisurely and said: "Let's go."
After saying this, he led the gold-clad guards and left without saying a word to Qin Zheng.
Torre murmured from behind: "This man's temperament is quite strange."
Qin Zheng didn't find it strange.
There were many weirdos in the world.
He Xiao, the city lord, was able to secure his throne as the city lord of Phoenix City in these troubled times and manage Phoenix City prosperously.

It was always a bit strange to think about it.
Be different.
After two or three days like this, Mr.
He Xiao still didn't leave.
He still stayed at the Penglai Inn, but he didn't even have any trouble with the one-person restaurant.
Torre felt uncomfortable.
He felt that there must be some conspiracy.
But on this day, it happened to be the sixth day of the lunar month, and snow was falling all over the sky.
A guard in golden clothes rode a tall horse to the restaurant and took out a gilded invitation from his arms.
When he opened it, he found that it was an invitation for Qin Zheng to go out to the city to walk in the snow and look for plum blossoms.
It also says, "I heard from afar that wintersweet is in full bloom outside the city, and there is a beautiful lady in the plum blossom alley.
Can shopkeeper Qin take a look at it, and come with me to walk in the snow to look for plum blossoms, and look for traces of their fragrance everywhere." gd1806102:
