Peerless Young Master

On November 27th, the 18th year of Taikang, it is a good time to travel.

Today is a good day, the weather is clear and the sun makes people feel warm; similarly, this is also the first day of the hiking plan.

The plan of crossing the mountain is very good. If it can be completed, it will be equivalent to opening a road on Heilong Mountain directly leading to the county town at the foot of the mountain, and there will be no worries about the lack of food and daily necessities.

But theory is just theory. Without full practice, no one knows what accidents may occur in the process.

Therefore, Li Xuan got up early in the morning.

Fortunately, the temperature on the mountain is relatively low, and the solidified hot pot base is not so easy to deteriorate. He wrapped it with gauze and put a layer of cotton cloth on the outside to prevent it from being broken during the mountain road.

Xiao Yidao and the other two were also ready, with long swords tied around their waists, meaning they had already opened up a path to the foot of the mountain, but who could guarantee that they wouldn't encounter any emergencies?

With weapons in hand, you can feel at ease.

In order to successfully sell the hot pot base in exchange for food, the first shot of the plan to go mountaineering was fired.

Li Xuan specially thought of a lot of sales words and told them all to Xiao Yidao, asking him to first find a small restaurant of average size and sell the products to the owner.

Then take out a small piece of hot pot base and do an experiment on the spot. As long as the hot pot boils, the taste is absolutely addictive.

As for the price, he believed that Xiao Yidao could handle it flexibly, showing the extraordinary charm of the hot pot base in a measured way while leaving room for price negotiations.

After preparing everything, the three of them left, following the route they had chosen before, leaving Heilongshan and heading for the county town down the mountain.

Li Xuan waved his hand, and when he could no longer see the other person, he sighed.

He didn't know whether this trip down the mountain would be successful or whether he could bring back food. He could only pray for the help of Xiao Yidao, the old veteran.

Now that things have come to this, we can only leave it to fate.

…………

The mountain road is steep, like a giant dragon coiled on the Black Dragon Ridge, with bottomless valleys on both sides. Occasionally, a mountain breeze blows through, causing the branches and leaves in the forest to rustle, adding a bit of danger.

A group of people were walking along the steep mountain road. They had serious expressions on their faces, as if the place they were going to made them feel awe and fear.

After a stick of incense, two forks appeared on the road, and at the fork was a man in black holding a scimitar with a crow embroidered on his chest.

When the bandits saw this man, they all became very respectful and took out a wooden token from their pockets. On the front was the word "black" and on the back was a crow about to spread its wings and fly high.

"Go this way"

The man in black saw the token, held the other one in his hand, and spoke in a hoarse voice, just like a drake, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

These people walked along the right road again, and encountered three forks in the road and a mountain bridge. Every time at the fork in the road, there was a man in black showing the way.

An hour later, a tall building hidden on the top of the mountain, whose entire appearance could not be seen, appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, the bandits finally showed a smile on their faces.

Soon, these people walked in.

This is the famous Black Cliff in Heilongshan. There is everything in it, including food, quilts, groceries, alcohol, casinos, and even women.

It can be said that as long as you have money, Heiya can get you whatever you want.

Of course, the price is ridiculously high, but for these bandits, staying in the mountains, property is like stones. If they can eat, drink and have fun well, any amount of money is worth it.

Before winter comes, the powerful villages on Heilong Mountain will come here to buy supplies to survive the next three months when the mountain is blocked by heavy snow.

…………

county seat.

The streets were bustling with people; flags were flying from the surrounding shops, and there was a commotion coming from inside; there were servants standing at the door shouting loudly, and there were hawkers driving donkey carts hawking their wares along the street.

This was a very ordinary day in Shoushou City, and it was also a common living habit for these people.

But for Xiao Yidao and his group, it was the day they had always dreamed of.

Xiao Xuan's bright eyes kept looking around, and her mouth opened slightly from time to time, as if she saw something surprising and magical.

Every time she goes down the mountain, it is the happiest thing for her, as she can see many things that are not available on the mountain.

Suddenly, a red object appeared in her eyes. Looking at the candied haws, she subconsciously licked the corner of her lips, revealing a look of desire.

It's red and looks delicious.

A moment later, the three of them arrived at a restaurant.

Xiao Yidao looked at the restaurant, which had only two floors and was located on the outer street. It was rich but not very rich, so it was not afraid of being robbed by other cheaters and getting into trouble.

"That's it."

Then, he walked in first, and the two people behind him followed.

"Sir, you would like to have something to eat. Our new honey chicken is very good and very popular," the waiter greeted warmly.

"I have something to talk to your boss about." Xiao Yidao glanced at the restaurant. There were still a few tables of people eating. It was already past mealtime, but some people were still eating. It seemed that their cooking skills were good.

"Who are you?" asked the servant.

"Call your boss here," Xiao Yidao waved his hand.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, but still turned around and went to the counter: "Boss, there are a few people there who say they are looking for you."

"Looking for me"?

Shopkeeper Bei looked in the direction the servant pointed and saw three men. They looked unfamiliar, but he still walked over and smiled when he was almost there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I don't know what the boss's name is," Xiao Yidao clasped his fists.

"My surname is Bei, which means North in the east, west, south and north."

"Hello, Shopkeeper Bei, we are here to visit the docks. We have some treasures and would like to ask if you want them."

The so-called "Chuang Wharf" means traveling around to do business.

"This is a restaurant. If you want to sell something, you should go to the pawnshop," said the shopkeeper Bei, puzzled.

“It’s a seasoning that’s delicious.”

As he spoke, Xiao Yidao opened the bundle, revealing the bright red hot pot base inside, and a faint spicy aroma gradually filled the air.

"What's this"?

"This thing is called hot pot. I brought it from the far north. It only needs to be heated. If it's convenient for you, Shopkeeper Bei, please let me try it. I will definitely satisfy you."

"Go, set up a pot"

Shopkeeper Bei was a little confused, but the fragrance brightened his eyes. Looking at the others, they didn't seem to have any mental problems.

I guess it's something rare that I've never seen before.

This kind of thing is very common.

After a while, the servant came over and the pot was already boiling.

Led by Shopkeeper Bei, Xiao Yidao and the other two went to the kitchen, cut off a small piece and threw it into the pot.

The hot steam in the pot curled up, the bright red soup swirled, and an extremely rich aroma continued to emanate;

Every drop of oil is jumping and shining with an attractive luster. The fragrant aroma is so addictive that you can't stop and swallow your saliva.

"This is"

Shopkeeper Bei's pupils shrank suddenly in shock, as if he was shocked by the red waves rolling in the pot. He took a step forward involuntarily, and his nose almost touched the steaming hot air.

He took a deep breath, and the mixed aroma of spicy and delicious flavor rushed into his head, making him feel like he was eating a feast.

This thing is so stunning.

If this is sold, the seats will be full and the restaurant will become famous.

As he spoke, his tone became urgent: "How much is it? I want as much as you have."

Seeing this, Xiao Yidao smiled. As expected, no one could resist the temptation of hot pot: "Five taels of silver for one piece. There are three pieces in total, fifteen taels of silver in total."

Fifteen taels of silver?

This is a lot, more than the restaurant's profit for more than a month.

Shopkeeper Bei hesitated and said: "Can it be cheaper? Fifteen taels of silver is too expensive. How about ten taels of silver?"

Xiao Yidao shook his head and said, "Boss, you have seen how powerful this thing is. If we have this, it will definitely make our restaurant famous and we will make a lot of money.

Besides, we paid a great price to bring this thing here."

Shopkeeper Bei was in a dilemma.

"Since Shopkeeper Bei is unwilling, then I won't bother you anymore. I believe there will always be someone who can afford this price. I hope Shopkeeper Bei won't regret it when the time comes."

Having said that, Xiao Yidao was about to leave.

"and many more"

Shopkeeper Bei called Xiao Yidao, his eyes fixed, and he sighed: "Fifteen taels of silver is fifteen taels, but I have a request. If you still have it in the future, give it to me. I guarantee you will be satisfied with the price."

"Okay, Shopkeeper Bei is indeed a quick-witted person."

Xiao Yidao smiled and gave Xiao Xuan a look, and the latter handed the bundle to Manager Bei.

After a cup of tea, the three left the restaurant.

"Dad and your Uncle Damao are going to the rice shop in front to buy some food. You go and play by yourself. Don't go too far. Yizhuoxiang will be waiting for us at the rice shop." Xiao Yidao took out a hundred coins and handed it to Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan's eyes lit up, her eyes curved into crescents, and she took the copper coin: "Thank you, Dad. I'll go then."

Xiao Yidao shook his head with a doting look on his face, then went to the rice shop to buy food and ingredients for making hot pot. This time he brought all the hot pot ingredients with him when he went down the mountain.

As the sun sets, the sky is dyed with a brilliant orange-red. Li Xuan stands at the gate of the village, waiting anxiously, just like a husband-waiting rock.

Fortunately, when the sun was about to set, three figures appeared in sight...
