Zhong Wen is a little depressed these days.
I thought that after showing amazing cooking skills and conquering the stomachs of Piaohua Palace, I would be like the protagonist in the novel and be loved by beauties one after another.
Lin Zhiyun really fell in love with his cooking, and there was a hint of affection in her eyes when she looked at him.
However, as an old soul, he could easily tell that this good impression was not a feeling of admiration, but more like an elder's appreciation for a younger one.
I want to sleep with you, but you want to be my elder?
I can't bear it, I can't bear it.
So, when he saw Palace Master Lin sweeping the floor, he volunteered to rush forward and snatch the broom from the beauty's hand.
"I love sweeping the floor, sweeping the floor makes me happy!" he declared loudly.
Lin Zhiyun couldn't resist him. When she left, she looked at him with a strange look, and she couldn't tell what it was like.
The subtext is probably: After the child was injured, he may have lost not only part of his memory, but also some of his IQ...
How can I make her fall in love with me?
Zhong Wen was thinking hard while sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.
In fact, another reason why he snatched the broom was because he was particularly envious of the profession of "sweeping monk". He usually had no sense of existence, but at a critical moment, he would show off his power and slap an enemy BOSS to death with one palm. He was pretending to be so awesome.
Just thinking about it makes me feel happy.
Of course, not to mention the enemy BOSS, with his current level of cultivation at the third level of the Human Wheel, even in Piaohua Palace, there is no one he can kill easily.
Yesterday, when he was chatting with Lin Xiaodie, he accidentally mentioned that he knew that this little lolita who pestered him every day to tell stories was actually at the third level of the human chakra.
All in all, whether he is pursuing the goddess or becoming a sweeping monk, he still has a long way to go.
As he scanned, thinking about the long road ahead, he couldn't help but stop and look up at the sky, as if looking up at the bright moon in the hot summer day.
At this moment, two women came in at the door.
Looking at the visitor, Zhong Wen praised the world from the bottom of his heart.
Walking in the front is a woman in red, about twenty years old. She exudes the noble temperament of a wealthy daughter, and her appearance is extremely beautiful. Even compared to the goddess Lin Zhiyun, she is not much different, and what is more concerning is that
Yes, through the slit on the red skirt, you can see a pair of long, round and snow-white legs, wearing a pair of exquisite boots, sexy and playful.
These legs, I...some people can play with them for a year, this is Zhong Wen's inner monologue.
The one walking behind seemed a little older, and his face was covered by a gauze scarf, so he couldn't see clearly. However, his hot figure covered by a blue cloth could trigger endless reveries.
"Who are you two...?" Zhong Wen saw that there was no one around, so he volunteered to take on the reception task. After all, he was slightly curious about the visitors.
"Who is your Excellency? Isn't this the Piaohua Palace? How can there be a man?" Almost at the same time, the other party turned around and spit out a series of questions like a barrage of questions.
If the other person was Jin, Zhong Wen would have thrown the broom in his face and said it was none of your business.
However, facing the beautiful face of the woman in red, Zhong Wen's attitude was very gentle: "This girl, Piaohua Palace does not accept male disciples. I, Zhong Wen, am the chef and doctor here."
The position of "physician" was, of course, self-appointed by Zhong Wen, and Palace Master Lin knew nothing about it.
"It turns out to be Dr. Zhong." The woman in red said with a slightly gentler tone, "Sir, please tell Palace Master Minglin that Shangguan Mingyue of the 'Shengyu Trading Company' is here to visit and we have something important to discuss."
When he heard the words "Shengyu Trading Company", Zhong Wen was stunned for a moment and then realized what he said.
Liu Qiqi once said that he sold salt to a trading company. At that time, he had a hunch that the other party would take the initiative to contact him. After all, after eating the original food of this world, he firmly believed that no one could resist the charm of salt.
At the beginning, Liu Qiqi only had a small half bag of salt, but she got fifty spiritual crystals in exchange for it, which is the best proof.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Of course, he would not take the initiative to say that he was the one who made the salt. Instead, he ran in to report.
Lin Zhiyun and Shangguan Mingyue both met each other for the first time, but they were both shocked by each other's peerless elegance.
There is such a beautiful woman in the world!
The two of them thought in unison.
"Palace Master Lin, this time Shangguan Mingyue came uninvited because he has 'important matters' to discuss." As Shangguan Mingyue said this, she kept glancing at the "sweeping monk" Zhong Wen standing aside from the corner of her eyes.
I emphasized the word 'important matters' very seriously.
How could Zhong Wen not understand what she meant, so he left the room very consciously, and even took the initiative to close the door tightly.
Sweep the floor!
Sweeping the floor makes me happy!
After about a moment, Lin Zhiyun came out in person and invited him back again.
Looking at Shangguan Mingyue's slightly embarrassed eyes, Zhong Wen managed to hold back his laughter.
"Dr. Zhong, I heard that you developed the 'Sai Shen Xian'?" She has been in business for many years, so her face is naturally not so thin, and she quickly adjusted her mentality and tone.
"This trivial gadget made Miss Shangguan laugh."
Lin Zhiyun was slightly surprised when Shangguan Mingyue called him "Doctor Zhong", but she didn't ask any questions.
"Dr. Zhong is being too modest. It's just my poor eyesight that offends me. Please forgive me, Dr. Zhong." Shangguan Mingyue looked at Zhong Wen sincerely with her big, smart eyes, and apologized directly like this. On the contrary, she seemed generous and did not let him go.
People are disgusted.
"Easy to say, easy to say, don't blame those who don't know." Zhong Wen continued to deal with it gently.
After chatting for a while, Shangguan Mingyue saw that Zhong Wen was not interested in anything, so she went straight to the topic and said, "I wonder if Dr. Zhong's 'Sai Shen Xian' is for sale?"
"As long as it is for personal use, the excess can naturally be sold, but the output of this thing is relatively small, so there may not be much more." Zhong Wen replied.
"Doctor Zhong, what I'm talking about is the formula of 'Sai Shenxian'." Shangguan Mingyue approached step by step, "We at 'Shengyu Trading Company' are willing to buy your formula for a thousand spiritual crystals."
Zhong Wen stared at Shangguan Mingyue's beautiful face for a long time.
This is a smart woman, he commented in his mind.
As an entrepreneur in his previous life, he was also an out-and-out businessman, so he could naturally understand Shangguan Mingyue's shrewdness.
Is a thousand spiritual crystals a lot? A lot.
Is it enough to buy this formula? It's obviously not enough. After all, half a packet of salt was sold for fifty spirit crystals. So once the formula is obtained and mass production can be carried out, how many fifty spirit crystals will the Shangguan family get? It is simply difficult to calculate.
If Shangguan Mingyue's bid is successful, he will naturally make a lot of money, but it will also give Zhong Wen a lot of room for counter-offering.
At the same time, the amount of one thousand spiritual crystals is also a huge amount of money, so it will not appear to be a lack of sincerity and leave a bad impression on Zhong Wen as a profiteer.
Ever since entering Piaohua Palace, except for one misguided look at Zhong Wen, every move Shangguan Mingyue made seemed just right, which naturally left a good impression on Lin Zhiyun.
As for Zhong Wen, it can be ignored. Even a beautiful woman can gain his favor.
"Dr. Zhong, I am really sincere and want to buy this formula. Please give it some serious consideration." Shangguan Mingyue's voice was pleasant, with a hint of charm.
"Miss Shangguan, Zhong Wen, you guys chat slowly, I'll go out first." Lin Zhiyun saw that the matter had nothing to do with her, so she was unwilling to listen any more and planned to avoid suspicion.
"No, Palace Master Lin." Zhong Wen quickly went up to hold Lin Zhiyun's hand and said, "What if the talks break down and they want to take action? I'm not good at fighting."
Lin Zhiyun: "..."
Shangguan Mingyue: "..."
Shangguan Junyi: "..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Miss Shangguan do such gangster behavior?" Although Lin Zhiyun regarded Zhong Wen as a junior, she had been keeping herself clean for so many years, but she still felt very uncomfortable when a man suddenly grabbed her arm.
His right arm quietly slipped out of Zhong Wen's hand.
However, she stayed in the end.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. Such a good cook cannot really have an accident.
"I'm sorry, Miss Shangguan, I'm more afraid of death, please forgive me." Zhong Wen felt a little happy when he saw Lin Zhiyun staying, and said with a smile.
"It's a good thing to be cautious." Shangguan Mingyue said politely, but her smile was a little forced.
She discovered that the young man in front of her was not only shrewd, but also a bit mean.
"Since Miss Shangguan is so sensible, I will speak frankly. The price of one thousand spiritual crystals is cheap." Zhong Wen suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously.
"What price does Dr. Zhong think is more appropriate?" Shangguan Mingyue asked.
"Palace Master Lin, it's rare for Miss Shangguan to come to Qingfeng Mountain. Would you like to entertain the guests for a meal first?" Zhong Wen did not answer, but suddenly started talking to Lin Zhiyun.
Although Lin Zhiyun was kind-hearted, she was not stupid. She quickly understood Zhong Wen's intention: "Of course, it's almost noon. If Miss Shangguan doesn't mind, you might as well have a meal in Piaohua Palace. What's the matter?
It’s not too late to talk after lunch.”
Shangguan Mingyue had a delicate heart, and instantly understood that Zhong Wen wanted to let her taste the taste of "Sai Shen Xian" again, shake her mind, and increase her bargaining chips.
Although she lamented that Zhong Wen was cunning, she did not refuse.
In addition to being a businesswoman, she is also a real foodie.
Her resistance to food temptations is close to zero.
"I'm going to prepare lunch." Zhong Wen left the room with a smile, leaving the three beauties chatting in the room.
Ever since Zhong Wen became the "chef", the original tradition of having separate meals in Piaohua Palace has been completely broken. Every day when the meal comes, everyone from the palace master to the little Loli will appear at the dinner table on time, unshakable.
.
Without him, this cook is so willful that he insists on placing all the meals in the lobby and refuses to deliver them to his doorstep, completely ignoring his aura of a courier boy.
The girls wanted to resist, but finally succumbed to the chef's power.
There is no way, the food nowadays tastes so good that every time when meal time is approaching, my stomach starts to growl unsatisfactorily and my mouth will secrete saliva unconsciously.
When Shangguan Mingyue came to the lobby, he first saw the three disciples from Piaohua Palace. His eyes lit up, and he realized that each of them was tall and graceful, with extraordinary temperament. In line with the businessman's nature of making good friends, he was about to go forward and make friends. Zhong
Wen has already come over with plates to serve the food.
When Shangguan Mingyue saw the dishes on the table, she couldn't take her eyes away anymore.
So beautiful!
This was the first time she used "beautiful" to describe lunch.
In order to entertain the guests, Zhong Wen spent a lot of effort to prepare eight dishes and one soup, with meat and vegetables, red and green. Before he even tasted the taste, the temptation of "color" and "smell" was already coming to his face.
"Miss Shangguan, the conditions in the mountains and fields are not good, and we have some simple food, so I would like to ask you two to take care of it." Lin Zhiyun said politely, and then greeted everyone to start eating.
Out of etiquette, Shangguan Junyi also took off his hat.
Shangguan Junyi is in her thirties this year, but she looks only in her mid-twenties. In terms of appearance alone, she may not be as dazzling as Shangguan Mingyue, but she is very delicate and has a quiet and calm temperament, just like a
The gentle sister next door, a big sister with a hot body.
However, the skin on this eldest sister's face is a bit too pale, and there is a faint aura of gray between her eyebrows.
The eldest lady, Shangguan Mingyue, could still be reserved when the food was first served, but after a few mouthfuls of food, she entered a completely selfless foodie state, no longer caring about etiquette, and waving a pair of chopsticks was dazzling.
In the middle of eating, she suddenly came back to her senses and realized her gaffe. She looked up and looked around with some embarrassment, but found that no one noticed her at all. Everyone was immersed in the wonderful dining experience.
So the eldest lady felt relieved and continued to eat with her chopsticks.
Even Shangguan Junyi, who never eats much, ate an extra bowl of rice for the first time
After finishing the meal, Zhong Wen brought over a pot of tea, which was filled with tea leaves fried using a special technique, giving off a unique fragrance.
Just smelling the aroma of tea, Shangguan Mingyue felt that her bulging stomach felt much better.
I picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The aroma of tea filled my lips and teeth with endless aftertaste.
Hey, how can we negotiate now?
If we can't reach an agreement, won't we never be able to eat such delicacies again?
I really want to take this chef home!
At this time, all Shangguan Mingyue could think about was Zhong Wen's cooking skills, and the matter of the "Sai Shen Xian" formula was temporarily forgotten by her.
Shangguan Junyi on the side still didn't understand that although her niece was very sweet and intelligent, she was an out-and-out foodie and had no resistance to real delicacies.
Zhong Wen's cooking skills are difficult for even a monster like himself who has cut off his desire to resist, let alone Shangguan Mingyue, the eldest lady has already been hit in her weak spot.
In the next negotiation, will this girl sell Shangguan's house?
Shangguan Junyi was a little worried.
"Palace Master Lin, the 'Qingfeng Pavilion' in Cangyun City is the property of Piaohua Palace, right?" With an idea, Shangguan Mingyue changed the topic to Lin Zhiyun.
"Yes, 'Qingfeng Pavilion' is just a small business. I didn't expect Miss Shangguan to have heard of it." When mentioning the elixir shop, Lin Zhiyun showed a trace of worry on her face.
"For a businessman, what is more important than intelligence?" Shangguan Mingyue covered her mouth and smiled, "Besides, my little sister just came out of Cangyun City two days ago. Your elixir shop seems to have encountered some trouble recently?"
Lin Zhiyun did not understand Shangguan Mingyue's intention and did not respond.
"The 'Divine Medicine Hall' is the property of the Tantai family." Shangguan Mingyue revealed an important piece of information.
"Tantai family?" Lin Zhiyun was stunned, "Why do they do such a thing that harms others but does not benefit themselves?"
"Originally I didn't find out the reason, but after a trip to Qingfeng Mountain and seeing the spiritual environment here, I can probably guess that the land here is simply a natural elixir cultivation ground." Shangguan Mingyue.
He said slowly, "Tantai Jin, the eldest young master of the Tantai family, has done everything possible to please the Xiao family in recent years, and the Xiao family's ally, the Yinhuan Chamber of Commerce, has been acquiring medicine fields everywhere in an attempt to dominate the spiritual world.
In the medicine market, Tantai Jin probably wants to seize this land by suppressing the economic strength of Piaohua Palace."
"I see."
Thinking of the actions of Yuan Wai Jin and Sister Wang, Lin Zhiyun knew that Shangguan Mingyue had guessed correctly. This piece of property was definitely being targeted by the Tantai family.
"What is this 'Tantai Family', so powerful?" Zhong Wen suddenly asked.
"The Tantai family is known as the head of the four major families in Cangyun City, and its strength cannot be underestimated." Shangguan Mingyue explained patiently, "However, the most terrifying thing is the Xiao family behind Tantai Jin. Excluding the Holy Land and the royal family, the Xiao family is almost This is the first family in the Daqian Empire."
Lin Zhiyun frowned, obviously not expecting that the opponent's power was so huge. As the third largest force in the Daqian Empire, the Xiao family would definitely not lack masters in the Heavenly Wheel realm, and there were even more than one old monster above the Heavenly Wheel. position, she suddenly felt a little less confident about guarding the mountain passed down by her master.
"Miss Shangguan, I'm afraid the relationship between the 'Yinhuan Chamber of Commerce' and your 'Shengyu Commercial Bank' isn't very friendly, right?" Zhong Wen suddenly thought.
"We are all businessmen, so competition is inevitable." Shangguan Mingyue did not deny it.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. In that case, aren't your two families natural allies?" Zhong Wen had an intriguing smile on his face.
"That's right. Our trading company has been severely suppressed by the 'Silver Ring' recently. For the sake of our allies, is Dr. Zhong's 'Sai Shenxian' formula acceptable..." The expression on Shangguan Mingyue's face was pitiful. " I'm willing to bid five thousand spiritual crystals, how about it?"
"Miss Shangguan, do you know what I originally thought?" Zhong Wen suddenly stopped smiling and said with a serious expression, "I originally only planned to let you be my sales agent. Every time you sell a copy, you have to give me a draw. 20% profit."
"I didn't expect Dr. Zhong to be well versed in business." Shangguan Mingyue was surprised. As the daughter of a businessman, she naturally knew that long-term success was the real way to get rich, and she couldn't help but take a high look at Zhong Wen.
"But the news you brought this time is very valuable, and we have a common enemy, so we are more or less one of our own." Zhong Wen said straightforwardly, "Ten thousand spiritual crystals, the formula belongs to you, I don't want any commission, and there is also a bonus How about a gift as a gift?"
Ten thousand spirit crystals is not a small amount. Although Shangguan Mingyue is optimistic about this business, it will take time to repay the money. She hesitated and said: "What extra money?"
Zhong Wen: "I can cure the disease of the sister next to you."
Shangguan Mingyue's face suddenly darkened: "Who are you, and how did you know about my aunt's illness?"
"Is this your aunt? So young? I thought you were sisters." Zhong Wen smiled and threw a flattery at Shangguan Junyi.
Shangguan Mingyue's eyes became colder and colder, and her body exuded the unique aura of a cultivator.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiyun had to release a bit of momentum, fearing that Zhong Wen would be slapped to death by Shangguan Mingyue.
"Yue'er, don't be rude." Shangguan Junyi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly waved his hand, and the tension in the air seemed to be driven away and disappeared without a trace.
Heaven wheel master!
Lin Zhiyun was shocked in her heart. The other party had just dissipated her momentum in an understatement, and her cultivation level was probably still higher than hers.
"Doctor Zhong, do you know my disease?" Shangguan Junyi's voice was as gentle as water.
"Sister, you've already called me Dr. Zhong. If I can't see any of these symptoms, wouldn't that mean I'm disqualified as a doctor?" Zhong Wen looked relaxed, "I'm afraid it's hard for my sister's cultivation to go any further, right?"
"I didn't expect Dr. Zhong's medical skills to be so good." Shangguan Junyi said calmly, "In order to cope with the crisis, Junyi practiced a special technique. Although it is extremely powerful, it is not complete. I am afraid that it will never happen again in this life.
After stepping onto the Heavenly Wheel, my brother even visited the masters at the Wen Dao Academy for my sake, but he couldn't find a solution, so I didn't bother Dr. Zhong."
Hearing this, Zhong Wen suddenly came up to Shangguan Junyi and whispered: "Sister Shangguan, just because Wen Dao Academy can't cure it, it doesn't mean that I can't do it. Not only can I completely cure your injuries, but I can also help you regain your sense of being a woman."
Feel."
"You..." Shangguan Junyi's calm and calm face showed an expression of surprise for the first time.
