Traveling through time and space to become the richest woman and falling in love with the young mast
Chapter 44 Hard to swallow
After listening to this, Shopkeeper Gao's eyes lit up more and more, and he seemed extremely excited. He thanked Dongfang Qingmo repeatedly, "Thank you for your guidance, Second Young Master. It really opened my eyes!"
"Boss Gao, barbecue doesn't require a lot of technical skills, so other restaurants are likely to imitate us. All we can do is build a good reputation. As long as the ingredients are fresh, it will taste good no matter how you cook it." Dongfang Qingmo was worried that if other restaurants imitated Zui Xiang Lou, he would lose his composure. "If there's any emergency, send me a pigeon."
Shopkeeper Gao silently took note and said, "Okay, thank you, Second Young Master."
"You're welcome. It's good for all of us if Zui Xiang Lou can get better and better." Dongfang Qingmo replied with a smile.
After all, this is a win-win situation.
Afterwards, Dongfang Qingmo chatted with Manager Gao for a while before seeing Qian Shuishui coming out with the other girls.
Soon after, they brought the food to the room where Huangfu Yi was.
Huangfu Yi looked at the food in front of him, frowning slightly, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in his tone: "Is that all?"
There was a braised pig's trotter, a roast chicken and a bowl of porridge on the table.
It wasn't that he was being deliberately difficult or picky, it was just that the food looked very greasy and was not suitable for an injured person to eat.
He even began to suspect that the two women were taking the opportunity to take revenge on him.
Dongfang Qingmo showed a hint of helplessness on his face and explained, "Due to time constraints, we can only prepare these relatively simple dishes. Please forgive me, Young Master Huangfu."
Actually, these are bought on the street...
After hearing this, Huangfu Yi laughed in his heart and thought: If I hadn't just heard your conversation with my own ears, I would probably really believe what you said.
He took a bite with his chopsticks, swallowed it with difficulty, and said with a bit of difficulty, "It tastes a bit greasy..."
Qian Shuishui, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but mutter, "How picky!"
After all, these are her favorite foods.
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Yi looked at Qian Shuishui sharply.
"Shall I do some more?" Dongfang Qingmo stood in front of Qian Shuishui calmly.
This is really greasy and not suitable for eating.
She hadn't considered it carefully.
Huangfu Yi lowered his eyes and said, "No need." Then he finished the porridge slowly and leisurely.
Dongfang Qingmo found it pleasing to the eye.
It is also a scenic spot.
Huangfu Yi finished eating and put down his bowl. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Dongfang Qingmo, "So many people outside the door?"
Dongfang Qingmo: "They are all my men..."
Huangfu Yi frowned, "You brought so many people?"
Dongfang Qingmo hesitated for a moment, but still responded: "Is it not possible?"
"..."
He says what he wants to say.
"No."
"What's wrong with bringing a few more people?!" Qian Shuishui rolled up her sleeves and wanted to fight him.
Huangfu Yi said coldly, "How about I write a letter to Sect Leader Qian?"
Qian Shuishui trembled all over and quickly lowered her head, not daring to say another word.
She was threatened!!!
She doesn't want to go back, so she should just be humble.
It was strange. He was lying on the bed, but Qian Shuishui always felt that something was staring at her hungrily.
Dongfang Qingmo quickly stepped out to smooth things over, "What about Young Master Huangfu's words?"
She secretly decided that when no one was around, she would have to talk to Shui Shui properly and tell her not to go against Huangfu Yi again. After all, she was still thinking about the Chaos Root and Marrow Cleansing Pill in his hands!
If they really make him angry, all their hard work will be in vain.
Huangfu Yi said firmly, "Two at most."
Dongfang Qingmo gritted his teeth, feeling helpless, but he could only agree: "Two is two."
This directly cut down three quarters of her staff, which was really cruel.
But she could only choose to be patient, and at worst she could just ask others to stay away from her.
Huangfu Yi was very satisfied with the result and nodded slightly: "Go down. If there is anything I need, I will call you."
Qian Shuishui ran out quickly.
Dongfang Qingmo hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Young Master Huangfu, I have another question..."
"explain."
"When do we leave?"
"Where to go?"
"Of course we're going to the grassland?!"
Wasn't that what he had said before? Did he change his mind now?
Huangfu Yi frowned and said in a serious tone: "This young master needs to heal his injuries first, and we are currently missing an important herb."
He thought to himself that maybe he could ask Dongfang Qingmo to send someone to look for this herb.
After all, the Dongfang family has enormous power and resources, so sending more people to search should not be a problem.
In this way, he can make full use of the power of the Dongfang family to help himself recover from his injuries as soon as possible.
Dongfang Qingmo nodded slightly, expressing his understanding, and then asked, "What kind of herb is that?"
Her eyes were fixed on Huangfu Yi, waiting for his answer.
Huangfu Yi whispered, "Nine Yang Grass."
Dongfang Qingmo thought for a moment. She seemed to have never heard of the name of this herb.
So, she asked curiously: "Where can I find it?"
Huangfu Yi answered without hesitation: "Wu Lin."
"What?!!" Dongfang Qingmo's mouth opened slightly in surprise, revealing an expression of disbelief.
She just heard about Wulin yesterday, and today she's being asked to go there to pick herbs?!
Were they going to let an inexperienced newbie like her go into the misty forest and die?!
Huangfu Yi raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a playful smile: "Yes, it is the mist forest you are thinking of."
"Can I refuse?" Dongfang Qingmo asked with a bitter face.
God has bestowed a great responsibility on this person!
Huangfu Yi shook his head, "No."
"Why me?" Dongfang Qingmo pointed at himself. "I don't know anything about the mist forest, and I have no experience picking herbs."
"Then let's go to the grassland a few days later." Huangfu Yi said as a matter of course.
"What day was that?"
"At least ten days or half a month, at most a year or two..."
"so long?"
"Nine Sun Grass only grows deep in the mist forest, in a place with the most sunlight."
"But..." Dongfang Qingmo wanted to say something else.
Huangfu Yi interrupted her: "As a bargaining chip, I'll give you the Chaos Root."
Dongfang Qingmo gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go."
What a fatal temptation.
"Where is the fog forest?"
"grassland."
"Ahem..." Dongfang Qingmo rolled his eyes, "Let us go first?"
Back and forth?!
Dongfang Qingshui didn't know how many times he had done that.
Although Second Uncle has already set out, who knows if he can be found in time? One more person means more strength.
"go together."
"Then when do we set off?" Dongfang Qingmo breathed a sigh of relief and secretly felt lucky that he had him traveling with him. This way, he would be safe.
"Tomorrow morning." Huangfu Yi answered concisely, "Now go and prepare some necessary equipment and supplies."
"Okay, what do you need?" Dongfang Qingmo asked hurriedly.
Huangfu Yi said slowly: "Coarse salt, dog blood, glutinous rice, peach wood sword... these are all necessary items."
Hearing this, Dongfang Qingmo couldn't help swallowing, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Oh my god, what kind of monster is in this foggy forest? It actually needs these things!
Could it be the zombies on TV?
Thinking of this, Dongfang Qingmo couldn't help but shudder: "What on earth is in the mist forest?!"
Huangfu Yi's lips curled slightly, "Afraid?"
He actually didn't know what was in the foggy forest, but seeing how nervous she was, he made up a few things wizards used to exorcise ghosts.
Dongfang Qingmo nodded obediently like a chick pecking at rice.
Are you kidding me? She's unarmed and knows nothing about this world, how could she not be afraid?!
Huangfu Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you can send someone to look for it."
Dongfang Qingmo rolled his eyes. "Isn't that just letting others walk into the tiger's mouth?"
Huangfu Yi said with a half-smile: "Then go find it."
Dongfang Qingmo's mouth twitched, "Then I'm also a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth."
Huangfu Yi thought for a moment and said, "Then wait for ten days or half a month."
Dongfang Qingmo hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'd better send someone to look for it..."
This way, Huangfu Yi would not be able to drive Yunmei and the others away.
Take it to the grassland with good reason.
"It's up to you." Huangfu Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he found it very interesting to tease Dongfang Qingmo.
Dongfang Qingmo smiled immediately upon hearing this, and then asked cautiously, "Then, when will you give me the Chaos Root?!"
Huangfu Yi crossed his arms and replied leisurely, "On the desk." After that, his eyes swept towards the desk not far away.
This thing is not of much use to him, so it doesn't matter if he gives it to Dongfang Qingmo.
After getting the answer, Dongfang Qingmo walked quickly towards the desk excitedly.
The golden box was just lying there casually on the desk, covered with a piece of cloth.
Dongfang Qingmo couldn't wait to reach out and peel off the cloth. Suddenly, a dazzling golden light made it almost impossible for her to open her eyes.
Wow, so beautiful!
Will you give her this box as well?!
If that's the case, then she really made a profit!
"Young Master Huangfu, can I take it?" Dongfang Qingmo looked at the golden box with shining eyes and asked impatiently.
Huangfu Yi saw through her greedy eyes, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then said in a calm tone: "Leave the box."
"Ah..." Dongfang Qingmo widened his eyes, a hint of disappointment appearing on his face.
Huangfu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Why? The silver bills on the gambling table can't fill your pockets?"
"How did you know?!" Dongfang Qingmo was shocked. She didn't say anything nonsense, unless...
"Did you set up the gambling table?!" Dongfang Qingmo suddenly realized and pointed at Huangfu Yi.
Huangfu Yi didn't say anything, but his expression seemed to indicate agreement.
Yes, it was indeed him. Not only did he know that Dongfang Qingmo had sent people to bet on him and Qian Shuishui, he even knew their odds clearly.
So, he deliberately let Chi Ye's body land first to ensure that Qian Shuishui could get second place.
Dongfang Qingmo opened his mouth in surprise, "It's really you! So you deliberately let Shui Shui come in second?!"
Huangfu Yi did not answer, but remained silent.
Dongfang Qingmo secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that he has fallen in love with her? !
So she began to observe Huangfu Yi's expression carefully, trying to find some clues from it.
However, after examining him, she couldn't help but shake her head and said to herself, "It's impossible. His eyes are deep and clear, and there is no sign of love at all."
Huangfu Yi still did not explain, but just waved his hand casually, then closed his eyes and dozed off.
For him, his goal had been achieved.
Dongfang Qingmo shrugged, opened the golden box and took out the Chaos Root.
Huangfu Yi suddenly opened his eyes and spoke again, "The Chaos Root cannot be stored after it leaves the golden box."
Dongfang Qingmo's hand paused slightly, "Then..."
“Just eat it directly.”
"Oh......"
She originally thought she needed to take it back and cook it.
Dongfang Qingmo picked up the Chaos Root and ate it slowly, bite by bite.
The taste of chaos root is a bit like peanut skin, with a hint of astringency. The taste is not very good and it is hard to bite, similar to an old vegetable stalk.
The more he ate, the worse his face looked.
hard to swallow.
It's very uncomfortable when it's stuck in my throat.
"Ugh~~"
I almost vomited several times.
When I thought about how precious it was, I forced myself to swallow it.
Dongfang Qingmo took great effort to swallow the Chaos Root, then said with a bitter face, "This thing is too disgusting."
While complaining, she picked up the tea on the table and took a big gulp.
Huangfu Yi chuckled upon seeing this and said, "If you think it tastes bad, don't eat it."
"How can that be possible!" Dongfang Qingmo quickly shook his head, "This is a rare treasure. Maybe eating it will greatly increase my power."
Huangfu Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He naturally understood the effect of the Chaos Root, but he found Dongfang Qingmo's idea a little cute.
"Okay, you go back first. Remember to prepare the things you need for tomorrow." Huangfu Yi ordered him to leave.
Dongfang Qingmo nodded, turned and left the room.
She was still thinking about Wu Lin and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
But when she thought of the Chaos Root, she felt more confident.
Go back and practice your skills immediately!
"Qingmo, you finally came out!" Qian Shuishui came forward.
Dongfang Qingmo looked at his stomach, which was now worth a fortune. "I just ate the Chaos Root in it."
"Ah! Have you eaten?" Qian Shuishui also stared at her belly.
Yunmei and the others also looked over.
The fiery gaze made her feel a little embarrassed.
"Well, let's get a room first."
Qian Shuishui asked curiously, "Okay, Qingmo, do you feel anything now?"
Dongfang Qingmo touched his stomach and said, "I don't feel anything for now, but I can feel a strong force flowing through my body."
"Really? That's great! Maybe this Chaos Root can really help you improve your physical condition!" Qian Shuishui said excitedly.
After the group arrived at the wing room and closed the door, Qian Shuishui couldn't wait to ask, "Qingmo, tell us quickly, how does the Chaos Root taste? How do you feel now?"
