Liver Progress From the Beginning

  Chapter 77 Great tonic, Qiyang Guiyuan soup!

   Huang Li's request made Zhong Chao frowned, and immediately understood the reason why she went to the meeting that day, but looked at him frequently.

   "Her shop doesn't have a channel to obtain special fish, and I want to contact Heiyu as a disciple of the owner of the shop, and ask him to distribute some."

   "It seems that special fish are more precious than I thought."

  Zhong Chao’s conjecture is correct, special fish are difficult to catch, but some precious prescriptions, meals and rouge products need to be made with these spiritual things.

  At the same time, people living in the inner city are either rich or expensive. What they buy is not the price, but the effect. There is no special thing as the treasure of the shop, those young masters and ladies are not even willing to enter the door.

   Without anyone, the store will naturally decline quickly, and eventually it will not be able to pay taxes.

  In this world, there are shops and taxes. It doesn’t mean that you don’t have to pay if you can’t sell something. The hearts of those officials are not so kind.

  So, Oriole is in a difficult situation now.

  Zhong Chao didn't know the specific situation, but he could perceive it.

   However, even if he understood, Zhong Chao still shook his head and refused her request:

   "I'm not familiar with black fish, so I can't help you with this. However, I'm going fishing these days. If I catch special fish, I can sell them here."

   Zhong Chao who said this was envious of the profit and craftsmanship of Lishang Rouge Shop.

   After all, he is going to go fishing in the sea. After catching fish, he can sell it to anyone, so it is better to sell it to the oriole who can share it.

   It's just that Zhong Chao thought of the beauty, but Huang Li didn't believe that Zhong Chao, who was only a martial artist, could supply the consumption of a rouge shop. Therefore, she showed a polite but awkward smile.

   Seeing this, Zhong Chao didn't make any excuses, but just shrugged and left.

   "If you misunderstand, let's misunderstand. In this big inner city, there is definitely more than one store that lacks fish."

   "However, looking for a store is a matter for the future. Now I will buy the fish oil ointment."

  …

   At other rouge shops in the inner city, Zhong Chao spent more money and bought ten bottles of silver light fish oil ointment.

   In this way, in an instant, one hundred and seventy taels were subtracted from his more than seven hundred taels of silver.

   This huge amount of money made Zhong Chao's heart twitch, but soon, he forced a smile and said: "It's okay, isn't it just over a hundred taels? Now I have money!"

   Clutching his chest, Zhong Chao forced himself to comfort himself.

   But soon, he ushered in another wave of critical attacks.

  After purchasing the fish oil ointment, Zhong Chao didn’t return to the martial arts gym, but came to Xi’s restaurant, ready to receive his bowl of Huoyun chili stewed meat.

   At the same time, he also made up his mind. After receiving the food, he would swim in Jinghu Lake, the inner lake of Jujiang City, and continue to practice fish and dragon swimming.

   But, when he entered Xi's Restaurant, something unexpected happened.

  The butler next to Xi Ya came down from upstairs and led him into a box.

   "What do you want me to do?"

   "Good thing."

   "Good thing... that lady has thought about the reward for me?"

  Zhong Chao hasn’t forgotten that he had a tacit agreement with Xi Ya’s mother—that person had promised that the harder he pushed Xi Ya, the more motivated she would be, the more rewards he would get.

"A few days ago, I threatened to marry Xi Ya, and said that after she married, I would treat her 'well'. With such a threat, Xi Ya was absolutely terrified, and would work hard not to get married. In this way, even if Xi Ya's mother's request is fulfilled, it is still 200%, and I don't know what kind of reward she will give me."

  Thinking of this, Zhong Chao looked forward to it.

   However, what he, who was full of joy, didn't notice was that Forber's expression was a little strange.

   "It can be said that the reward Madam gave you is indeed ready."

   After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands, and a group of maids walked in holding a golden jar.

  The outside of the jar has gold leaf and is dotted with precious stones and other things. It looks very precious.

   And this also made Zhong Chao's sense of anticipation stronger:

   "The value of this jar is at least a hundred taels. The Xi family probably wouldn't buy a box to return the pearls. So, the items contained in this jar must be more than a few hundred taels...Is such a precious thing given to me?"

   Out of surprise, Zhong Chao asked about the last sentence.

   In response, Forber nodded:

   "The Xi family has never been stingy with those who do things for us. However, although these things are good, whether we can take them all away depends on your ability."

"What's the meaning?"

  This time, Fu Bo did not answer directly, but put the golden jar on the table, and carefully lifted the lid of the altar.

   "Om..."

  As the lid was lifted, a gust of hot air emerged from the altar and quickly spread into the room.

  As soon as he smelled the heat, Zhong Chao felt a desire to swallow, and his saliva was constantly secreted.

   "Smells good!"

  As the heat dissipated, Zhong Chao found that the golden jar was filled with soup, and what made him stare wide-eyed was that the soup was shining with golden light just like the dishes in Xiaodang's home.

  At the same time, when Zhong Chao first smelled the aroma of the soup, he felt the aroma and his mouth watered.

  After a few breaths, the desire to devour in his heart not only did not stop, but even increased.

  In the end, Zhong Chao even felt his cells become active, sending out signals frantically to make himself swallow the meals.

   This scene also changed Zhong Chao's expression.

   "Gudong... what is this?"

   "... Qiyang Guiyuan Soup!"

   Not only Zhong Chao, Fu Bo was drooling and salivating after the lid of the golden altar was opened.

   Resisting the temptation, he introduced to Zhong Chao with a hint of pride.

"Qiyang Guiyuan Soup, this is the unique secret of my Xijia restaurant. To make it, you need to find seven kinds of yang-attribute spiritual materials as the main ingredients, and the seven kinds of yang-attributed main ingredients are divided into three static and four dynamic ingredients. , For example, the Yang and Sanjing in this jar are fire ganoderma, century-old ginseng, and red jade coral."

   "The four movements are third-order eel, abalone, sea cucumber, and black-bone chicken."

   "These seven materials are all yang attributes, which are great for the human body."

"In addition to the main material, the water used in the soup is also a spiritual spring. When making it, it is even more necessary to use phoenix trees as firewood and Yangyan as fire, and it has to be boiled for seven to forty-nine hours. The special spiritual technique brings together the nutrients in the material and makes it produce a polymerization reaction..."

  Fu Bo explained a lot. Under his explanation, Zhong Chao knew that the material cost of this altar of Guiyuan soup was more than one hundred taels of silver.

  Its production method is time-consuming and laborious, requiring dozens of people to be busy around. At the same time, the process of making this dish is not like cooking, but like refining elixir and making witch soup.

   But although this kind of production is cumbersome, the effect is really excellent.

  At this moment, just by smelling the fragrance, Zhong Chao's body cells were fully active. These activated cells even conveyed a feeling to Zhong Chao—drinking it will have great benefits for the body!
