The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Chapter 21 Tasting Dishes at Wangjiang Pavilion

Upon hearing that Mo Liuyun was leaving, Cui Shi tightened her grip on Mo Liuyun's hand. Seeing that both his father and grandmother looked reluctant to part with him, Mo Liuyun said, "After my eldest uncle returns to the manor, I will bring my mother and A Jin back for a short stay. Grandmother, you mustn't find us troublesome then!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi and Cui Shi both laughed and assured him that their maternal grandparents' family was their own. As they spoke, Xiao Jinhua had already counted the men and was preparing to leave the city in the courtyard. At the same time, Mo Liuyun also came out of the hall. Upon seeing Xiao Jinhua, he said, "Cousin, please wait a moment." He then took out a bottle from his medicine box, poured out about ten pills, wrapped them in paper, and handed them to Xiao Jinhua.

Xiao Jinhua took the medicine and asked, "Cousin, what is this?" Mo Liuyun beckoned Xiao Jinhua to come closer and whispered what she had heard. Xiao Jinhua's eyes lit up! She quickly said, "Thank you, cousin. This gives us an extra layer of protection!" Mo Liuyun then explained in detail how to use the spiritual spring and other pills before letting Xiao Jinhua leave.

Xiao Jinhua led twenty people out of the city in batches, agreeing to meet ten miles outside the city to avoid attracting too much attention and arousing suspicion. Mo Liuyun bid farewell to Cui Shi and the others who saw her off, and left the mansion alone to head back. Upon arriving in Beili City, Mo Liuyun went to the horse market again. Seeing Mo Liuyun go to the horse market again, Wushuang did not go in, assuming that the young lady was going to dispose of the horse. Sure enough, the young lady came out empty-handed in a short while. However, what Wushuang did not know was that Mo Liuyun had already stored the horse in her spatial storage. After being a little confused at first, the horse quickly adapted and was now leisurely grazing, looking extremely content!

Mo Liuyun did not linger after leaving the horse market. He turned and walked towards Wangjiang Pavilion. Seeing this, Wushuang went into a pawnshop by the roadside and came out a moment later. After Wushuang came out, a carrier pigeon flew out from the backyard of the pawnshop and flew in the direction of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion!

Mo Liuyun entered Wangjiang Pavilion again. The servant at the door had changed and came to greet him from afar, saying warmly, "Young master, how many of you are dining? Do you have a boarding pass?"

Seeing this, Mo Liuyun reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden token from his spatial storage. He waved it in front of the waiter, and the waiter's expression became noticeably more lively upon seeing the golden token. Unlike his previous professional fake smile, he was excited and felt like he had finally waited for him!

He respectfully said to Mo Liuyun, "So it's Young Master Li! Would you like to dine on the second floor or the third floor?" Mo Liuyun, not wanting to attract attention, replied, "The second floor."

He then asked, "Waiter, how did you know my surname is Li?" As he spoke, he started walking upstairs to the second floor. The waiter led Mo Liuyun up the stairs, answering as they went:

"Young master, you may not know this, but there are only three of these gold medals in total. The other two are regular customers, which is why they guessed your identity!"

In the lobby of the same building, during the lunch rush, some people saw the waiter leading a customer to the second floor but didn't pay much attention, as they were used to seeing customers on the second floor. Once on the second floor, the waiter opened a private room, and Mo Liuyun sat down. The waiter quickly poured Mo Liuyun a cup of tea and asked, "Young Master Li, what would you like to eat? Would you like me to name the dishes?"

Mo Liuyun placed the bundle on the stool next to him, thought for a moment, and said, "Bring four or five of your restaurant's signature dishes, we can talk about the rest later!"

Then he took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and tossed it to the waiter. The waiter hurriedly caught it, quickly stuffed it into his pocket, and grinned from ear to ear, cheerfully replying, "Alright, please wait a moment, I'll get it ready for you right away." After closing the door, Mo Liuyun chuckled: This time, the waiter's acting seemed to have improved a little bit!

After closing the door, Nineteen pulled out some silver from his pocket, patted his chest, and exclaimed, "That was close! That was close! Just as Twenty said, the girl liked to throw silver to test if he knew martial arts! I think my acting was alright. I didn't want to end up like Twenty, almost giving myself away and nearly getting sent to the Northwest to eat sand by the boss!!"

Twenty first went to the kitchen to order food for Mo Liuyun, then turned around and went downstairs to look for the manager. The manager wasn't there, and she wondered if he was in the storeroom in the backyard. Nineteen went to the backyard and found the manager there. She went up to him and told him that Mo Liuyun was on the second floor. The manager said, "Take good care of him. The master will be here soon." Nineteen nodded, turned around and went downstairs to tell someone, then went upstairs.

About the time it takes to drink two cups of tea, a knock came from the backyard, and an inconspicuous black carriage slowly drove in. The innkeeper came over and lifted the curtain. An Yi lifted his master out of the carriage and placed him in a wheelchair, then pushed him into the room. Soon they were on the third floor!

The 20th floor staff stood at the door of the private room. Seeing the innkeeper carrying a tray towards them, they quickly stepped forward and took the tray. The innkeeper knocked on the door. "Come in!" Mo Liuyun replied.

"Young Master Li, it's an honor to have you here! I'm so sorry for not welcoming you sooner!" Mo Liuyun turned around and saw that it was Manager Wang. He quickly stood up and said, "Manager, you're too kind. I left in a hurry last time, but I came here today specifically to discuss something with you." Mo Liuyun directly stated his purpose.

"Oh, young master, please sit down and have your meal. There's no rush," said Manager Li. While the two were talking, Twenty had already placed the dishes on the table! Hearing this, he went out and closed the door from the outside, standing guard at the entrance.

The two sat down on either side of the table. Mo Liuyun glanced at the dishes on the table and said:

"Could the manager please introduce these dishes? What makes them special, and what makes them considered signature dishes?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang was puzzled. Could they be here to cause trouble? But he didn't show it on his face and said:

"Young master, please look, this is steamed sea bass. The meat is tender and melts in your mouth."

Mo Liuyun took a bite and said, "The meat is tender, but it has a strong fishy smell and is bland!"

Wang Zhang then recommended, "This braised pork is tender and delicious, with a perfect balance of lean and fat!"

"The braised pork is barely acceptable. Shouldn't braised pork be a bright red color? Upon closer inspection, didn't you notice a slight porky smell?" Mo Liuyun retorted.

"There shouldn't be any problem with this chicken soup, right? The color is vibrant, and the broth is rich!" Manager Wang said, still determined.

Mo Liuyun glanced at it without moving and said calmly, "Don't you think the oil on this chicken soup is enough to scoop out and use for cooking? How can you drink it with so much oil?"

"The last dish is stir-fried salted pork with winter bamboo shoots. The salted pork is dry and fragrant, and the winter bamboo shoots are tender and smooth!" the shopkeeper said, not giving up.

Mo Liuyun picked up a piece of winter bamboo shoot, took a bite, and said, "Shopkeeper, didn't you notice that this bamboo shoot is slightly astringent?"

Twenty, who was outside the door, almost burst out laughing when he heard the conversation inside. It had been a long time since he had heard the shopkeeper being roasted speechless. Only in front of his master could the shopkeeper be roasted to the point of being speechless! Usually, he would roast them without any mercy. Today was truly a cause for celebration. Good things come in pairs. In addition to his master, another Miss Mo had arrived. It was really worth celebrating. He immediately decided to have a drink with Nineteen that night, vent his frustrations, and make him happy too.

Inside the private room, Mo Liuyun poured a cup of tea for both Manager Wang and himself. Manager Wang tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp, his usual gentle and refined demeanor completely gone. He said, both amused and annoyed, "Young master came today saying he had something to discuss, but he's not very satisfied with the dishes. Could it be related to the food?!"

Mo Liuyun said, "How about this, give me an hour and a stove. I'll bring some things and cook a few dishes for you to try first. Then we can talk about cooperation. Even if we don't reach an agreement, I'll adjust the dishes you mentioned above and guarantee to upgrade them to a higher level! Would you be willing to give it a try, shopkeeper?"

Shopkeeper Wang thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, so he waved his hand and led Mo Liuyun to the backyard. There was a small kitchen in the backyard, which was originally used by the old women to cook for the workers when the main kitchen was too busy. Now that it was peak season, it was quiet here. Mo Liuyun first went to the main kitchen and selected a piece of lean meat, some leafy greens, two eggs, a grass carp, and some pickled cabbage. Then he instructed Twenty to start a fire. Mo Liuyun took out the seasonings, scallions, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch that he had brought with him today, and then began to quickly clean the fish.

The innkeeper went up to the third floor and recounted what had just happened and what Mo Liuyun had said to Nangong Li. Nangong Li glanced at the open window, saw the wisps of smoke rising from the backyard, and said:

"Bring up a portion of everything she made later!"
