Xia Jin frowned slightly. Mu Baihao was the first chef of the Food God Hall. He followed her from Wangxi Town to the capital. He was the person who followed her the longest besides Zhang Ma and Si Ji.
Xia Jin had never doubted him. If it was Mu Baihao as Li Qiang said, then what was his purpose in staying with her!
"It's hard to tell anyone about this matter for the time being!" Xia Jin looked at Li Qiang and said seriously.
Li Qiang wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he nodded.
After Li Qiang walked out of the private room, Xia Jin sat at the window and looked at the diners below. During this time, there were many topics in the capital, but most of them revolved around Prime Minister Qu.
Feeling a gaze staring at her, Xia Jin turned her eyes and met Lu Yi's eyes.
With a slight forehead in green clothes, gentle eyes, and elegant manners, he is definitely a beautiful and eye-catching sight in the food hall.
There is no doubt that this smile caused another burst of screams from the girls.
In fact, there is one thing that Xia Jin has always been puzzled about, that is, she cannot hear Lu Yi's voice. After the third door is opened, the mind-reading door obtained can listen to other people's voices and read the truest thoughts.
In the entire food hall, only Lu Yi could not hear his voice at all.
Look at Mu Baihao, who is cooking in the open kitchen. He is shirtless, and his strong and powerful arms highlight the blood-stirring lines as he shakes the spoon.
If he had malicious intentions, Xia Jin would feel murderous intent, but she had never felt it in Mu Baihao.
Although Xia Jin doesn't like to open the mind-reading door on weekdays because it is too noisy and affects her rest, she sometimes opens it to explore information and occasionally hears Mu Baihao's voice.
When cooking, Mu Baihao would recite the steps silently in his mind, such as adding salt in a while, not too much, and the timing must be just right, otherwise the taste will be bitter and the meat will be tight and unpalatable.
In short, he is very serious when it comes to cooking!
It is precisely because of this that when Li Qiang said it was him, Xia Jin would react like that!
Who doesn't have a secret yet? Xia Jin ignores it for the time being. When he wants to tell her, she will naturally find him!
After all, Xia Jin will trust them to the end from the day she decides to use them!
She still believes in her own vision of people!
In the past few days, Lin Ziyi has been busy handling some follow-up work for Prime Minister Qu. The old lady is going to the temple to pray for blessings today.
Since she recovered from her illness, and with the presence of the spiritual jade bracelet, the body's positive energy has gathered and nourished her body, the old lady's spirit has improved a lot.
Xia Jin went to pack some honey cakes unique to the Food God Hall, and after explaining to Zhang Ma, she returned to the General's Mansion. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, she saw the old lady who had packed her things and was about to pray.
"Grandma!" Xia Jin walked over.
"Jin'er is finally here! Everything is ready, all that's left is you!" the old lady said with a smile.
Xia Jin carried the food box and got on the carriage. The carriage was very spacious and covered with soft blankets. There was a low table on which fragrant tea was cooked and incense was lit.
Xia Jin placed the food box on the small table and arranged the honey cake inside.
The old lady picked up a piece and took a bite. It was soft, fragrant and sweet.
"The snacks Jin'er brings are more delicious every time. Grandma loved the milk from last time!"
"Milk tea!" Xia Jin reminded.
"Yes, yes, it's milk tea! Did you bring it to grandma today?" The old lady's eyes lit up.
Xia Jin took out the milk tea cup hidden under the food box and handed it to the old lady, "Milk tea with less sugar, warm, no pearls, just pudding!"
The old lady took it and said angrily: "You little girl, you didn't take it out earlier!"
Xia Jin stuck out her tongue, "Old lady, where are we going to pray this time?" Xia Jin asked.
After Prime Minister Qu had his whole family executed, the old lady did not feel at ease. Instead, she was worried about Lin Ziyi's situation. She would always be remembered when seeking employment in the court.
This time there is missing Prime Minister Qu, will there be Prime Minister Li or Prime Minister Wang next time?
The old lady felt uneasy, so she decided to go to the temple to pray for Lin Ziyi.
The closest one to here is Tianming Temple in nearby Linqing Mountain. It takes about half a day to reach Linqing Mountain from the capital. Once you get there, you have to walk up the mountain in the afternoon, so you have to stay overnight in the mountain today.
We arrived at Tianming Temple in the afternoon and towards dusk. Under the leadership of the abbot, the old lady finished praying and it was already dusk.
The abbot arranged for them to stay in the Zen room of the temple. After having a fast meal and going into the night, Xia Jin sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes, and entered her supernatural space.
That day, Xia Jin discovered a flame that had the same aura as hers under the spring water in the Lincheng open-pit mine.
At this moment, this flame is hanging in the first door, in a room filled with flames.
The strange thing is that this fire does not merge with other flames, and seems to be an independent individual.
Less than half a month had passed, but it was still motionless. Xia Jin reached out to touch it, but the flames did not resist. She held it in her hand and entered the furnace in the second room.
"Little balls!" she shouted into the furnace.
Xiaowanzi rubbed his eyes, "The master is here!"
"This flame has been here for many days, and there is still nothing unusual about it," Xia Jin said.
It was Xiao Wanzi who sensed the flame at first, but now they didn't find anything unusual.
"Try changing rooms!" Xiaowanzi said.
Xia Jin looked at the third door, which was the door of mind reading.
"You mean, put it on the mind-reading door?"
Xiao Wanzi didn't speak, his eyes and nose disappeared, turned into ordinary flames, and entered a dormant state.
During this period, Xia Jin tried putting it in the furnace and in the pure Yang fire of the first door, but there was no change.
With the attitude of giving it a try, Xia Jin opened the mind-reading door and walked in holding the strange flame in her hand.
When she entered the mind-reading door, the flame in her hand suddenly disappeared, and in front of the door, a door appeared!
"This is the fourth door!"
Xia Jin took out the key transformed from the spirit stone she had obtained before and inserted it into the keyhole. When she was about to open it, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Jin opened her eyes.
"who?"
"Donor, abbot, please come over!"
Xia Jin got out of bed and opened the door to find a young novice monk. It was already midnight, was there a knock on the door at this time?
"Little master, what does the abbot want from me?" Xia Jin asked.
"You will know when the donor comes!"
The young novice monk turned around and led the way. Xia Jin felt weird, but she still followed.
Not long after, they stopped in front of a Zen room. The little novice monk made a gesture of invitation. Xia Jin opened the door and walked in.
The old abbot looked at Xia Jin. When he saw her face clearly, his eyes flashed with light, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly.
