Liu Yunxi finally walked out of the room, breathed out gently, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. What Gui Jiulang said seemed to be very simple, but in fact, it was not easy at all to implement it.
, and this is the first time Liu Yunxi has used this method. Fortunately, she has unparalleled talent, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to do this.
When Ma Qiao saw Liu Yunxi coming out, he hurriedly walked over and asked, "How is the situation?"
Liu Yunxi said calmly: "It is considered stable, but this method can only extend her life for seven days."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Qi walked over quickly and said, "Shi Niang, thank you for your hard work. The food is ready and you can eat. I will cook it myself." After that, he chuckled and said:
"Yan Fu---How is Yan Fu?"
The last sentence is the key.
When Liu Yunxi saw Li Qi, it was like meeting enemies, and she was extremely jealous. She actually had great trust in Li Qi, otherwise she would not have brought Li Qi to find Wei Jiulang, but she was stabbed in the back by Li Qi.
This was unacceptable to her, so she snorted angrily and left.
Li Qi wiped his face helplessly. He was still very good at coaxing other women, but Liu Yunxi's character was so eccentric that it was really hard for people to understand.
Ma Qiao came over and whispered: "Bu Shuai, Shi Niang just told me that Miss Zhao's condition has stabilized, but she can only live for seven more days."
"Seven days."
Li Qi said angrily: "Is this charity?"
Ma Qiao said again: "Bu Shuai, don't be anxious. That blame Jiulang said earlier that he will treat Miss Zhao later."
"That's pretty much it."
Li Qi nodded and said: "You go to eat first, I'll go see Yan Fu." After saying that, he opened the door and walked in. When he came to the bed, he saw Zhao Jingyan lying on the bed, although she was still motionless.
.But his aura was much stronger than before, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He held Zhao Jingyan's hand and said, "Yan Fu, don't worry. No matter what, I will force that weird Jiulang to save you."
As he spoke, he used his hands to tidy up Zhao Jingyan's fallen hair.
After a while, the young man's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Uncle Li, my mother asked you to go to dinner."
Li Qi didn't have any appetite, so he replied: "You guys eat first."
"If you don't go, my mother won't allow us to use chopsticks."
Li Qi hesitated for a moment. I am here as a guest. The master is here to invite me, so I should go. He said: "Okay, I'll be here right away."
Then he covered Zhao Jingyan with the quilt and went out. Seeing that the young man was still waiting in front of the door, he smiled and said: "Xiao Wen, just go and eat first. There is no need to wait for me."
While cooking just now, Li Qi learned from the young man that his name was Shen Wen, and that the woman's name was difficult for Li Qi to find out, so he only knew that the woman's surname was Yin.
When the two came to the big house, they saw Gui Jiulang and his wife, Liu Yunxi, and Ma Qiao already sitting at the table. As for Huo Nanxi and Hu Beiqing, they were sitting at a low table next to them.
Although there was Yin around, it was unlikely that Kaijiulang would push the two of them aside. However, the dining table at Kaijiulang's house was only a little too big, and there was really no room for more people. Originally, Yin had planned to bring Shen Wenjia with him.
They went out to eat with food, but were stopped by Huo Nanxi and Hu Beiqing. They still wanted to live for a few more years. And they didn't want to sit with Wei Jiulang, even if they didn't eat this meal.
"Brother Li is here. Thank you for your hard work. Sit down quickly. Sit down quickly."
When Mrs. Yin saw Li Qi coming, she quickly stood up.
"Where, where? Madam-in-law is out of town."
After Li Qi sat next to Ma Qiao, Yin sat next to Gui Jiulang.
I saw a few four or five dishes on this square table that was not very big. Three of them were made by Yin, one meat and two vegetarian dishes. Among amateurs, they were considered to be above average, but compared to Li Qi's
Those few exquisite side dishes seemed a bit shabby.
Of course, the most attractive thing is the plate of chicken in the middle, which is golden in color and pleasing to the eye. This golden color is neither steamed nor baked, but a bit like smoked bacon. The chicken body is cut into five centimeters long and 3 centimeters long.
Put the chicken bones and shins into wide pieces on the bottom. Place the chicken pieces on the plate according to the original shape of the chicken. Put the chicken head in front and the chicken legs and feet on both sides. It looks like a complete chicken. There is a large vegetable leaf underneath.
Like emerald, it makes people salivate.
The dining table was dazzling and the aroma was fragrant, but the atmosphere around it was a bit weird. No one spoke. Speaking of which, except for Li Qi, a chatty person, no one else was the main speaker.
When Mrs. Yin saw that her husband was silent, she had to say on his behalf: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Eat quickly. The food won't taste good when it's cold." As she spoke, she lightly kicked Gui Jiulang.
Gui Jiulang glanced at his wife, then picked up his chopsticks and said, "Eat, eat, this dish cooked by the chef is not something ordinary people can eat."
Shen Wendao: "Dad, Uncle Li is really good at cooking. This is the first time I've seen someone smoke chicken with tea leaves. It smells delicious."
Uncle Li? Gui Jiulang just felt like he had a headache. Li Qi had taken advantage of all this. He was suffering from the fact that he said it himself, so he could only suffer the loss of being a mute, and said: "Really?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "The name of this dish is tea-smoked chicken. It uses smoked tea leaves to add flavor to the chicken. The difficulty of this dish only lies in the heat. The key is to have good chicken and good tea. I am just borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha."
.”
This invisibly shifted the credit back to Yin.
“Tea smoked chicken?”
Gui Jiulang nodded and smiled and said: "This name is quite interesting." His name was Gui Jiulang. In his eyes, he was very receptive to any strange things. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a chicken drumstick and put it in Shen Wen's bowl, saying:
"Wen'er, since you like it, then eat more."
"yes."
Shen Wen nodded happily, picked up the chicken leg and started eating it.
Gui Jiulang picked up another chicken leg and put it in his wife's bowl, saying, "You should try it too."
Ms. Yin felt that her husband didn't understand etiquette. The guests didn't eat, so he gave all the good things to their mother and son. But if he knew etiquette, could he still be called Wei Jiulang? Ms. Yin also knew that her husband's character was like this.
He just said to Li Qi and the others: "You can eat too."
Liu Yunxi nodded, but she only ate Yin's cooking, and really scorned Li Qi's cooking.
Gui Jiulang also picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, and was secretly surprised. Not to mention that the meat was delicious, but the key was that the chicken had a smoky flavor when it entered his mouth, a bit like bacon, but after chewing it carefully,
The gravy also has a hint of the fragrance of melon slices and tea leaves. These two seemingly difficult to blend flavors are put together, and the flavor is very unique. It is like a beauty wearing smoky makeup, but it gives people a fresh and refined feeling. It is really
It's delicious. I thought to myself, it seems that the Golden Knife Chef King is really well-deserved. After eating this chicken for so many years, this is the first time he tastes such delicious food. He nodded slightly and said, "This chicken is quite delicious."
It’s really good.”
Mrs. Yin said with a smile: "Yes. Brother Li's cooking skills are really nothing to say. I'm afraid that if you eat his food, you won't be able to eat my food."
"What are you talking about?" Gui Jiulang said with a straight face, "No matter what dish it is, as long as it is cooked by you, it is my favorite. When have you ever seen a dish you cooked without finishing it?"
Pass."
Li Qi was sweating profusely after hearing this. This weirdo Jiulang is really fierce, I bet we are all transparent people!
Yin's face turned red with embarrassment, and she whispered: "Okay, okay, I understand, there are outsiders here, please be careful what you say."
"What about outsiders?"
Kuai Kurang didn't accept this at all, and he was still confident in what he said.
Shen Wen was used to his father's temperament. He was enjoying himself secretly while chewing on the chicken legs.
But Ma Qiao felt that what Gui Jiulang said was very reasonable, and couldn't help saying: "Well said! The love between these two people is neither harmful to nature nor morally corrupt. Why hide it? A man should love naturally.
An aboveboard person."
This really wasn't his intention to show off, it was just what he did, and he never concealed his love for Lu Meimei.
Huo Nanxi, Hu Beiqing, and Li Qi all almost burst into tears. This is really a mountain as high as a mountain.
But these words were very appealing to Kaijiulang, and he laughed and said: "That's a wonderful thing to say. Come on, let's have a drink."
Ma Qiao glanced at the wine glass and frowned slightly.
Gui Jiulang saw this and asked curiously: "Brother Ma, do you dislike my wine?"
"I'm a very casual person, so wine is fine, but the wine glass is a bit too small, so I won't be able to drink enough."
Gui Jiulang burst out laughing and said, "I will never meet an opponent when it comes to drinking in my life. I will definitely drink to my heart's content today." As he said that, he raised his head towards Yin.
Mrs. Yin immediately got up and went outside to bring two large bowls and a jar of wine.
Li Qi saw that Mr. Yin seemed to be used to it at all, and knew that this strange Jiulang's drinking capacity was not bad at all, but he was definitely no match for Ma Qiao. That guy couldn't get drunk at all. He whispered: "You drink less, I still have to drink."
Please ask him to help Yan Fu cure his illness."
When Ma Qiao heard this, he couldn't be vague about this, and he gave an unprecedented hum.
Gui Jiulang didn't pay attention. He filled up the wine and drank it with Ma Qiao immediately. He felt very happy. He drank two more bowls with Ma Qiao. Seeing that Ma Qiao had a calm expression on his face, he seemed to be drinking water. He knew that Ma Qiao
Qiao's drinking capacity must be very good, and his heart is even more joyful.
Li Qi saw that the strange Jiulang and Ma Qiao were very opportunistic, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. If an alcoholic saw this scene, he would have to cry and faint in the latrine.
After Shen Wen finished chewing the chicken legs, he suddenly said: "Dad, I want to learn cooking from Uncle Li."
Mrs. Yin said: "Children are talking nonsense, your Uncle Li is a very busy man, how can he have time to teach you how to cook?"
"Don't talk too much yet."
Gui Jiulang waved his hand and asked his son very seriously: "Why do you want to learn cooking? Isn't it a good idea to study medicine with dad?"
Shen Wendao: "I think it's useless to study medicine. If you learn to cook, you can at least eat a lot of delicious food by yourself."
Mrs. Yin frowned and said, "Wen'er, studying medicine is of great benefit. You will understand it from now on."
Liu Yunxi couldn't help but interjected: "Junior brother, most people can cook, there is something strange about it."
Shen Wendao: "But senior sister, it has to be delicious."
Liu Yunxi was still about to say something, but Gui Jiulang waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, what Wen'er said makes sense. If it were me, I would think the same way."
"this---!"
Liu Yunxi had nothing to say, but she was not surprised because Gui Jiulang always did things that were weird and hard to understand.
Sweat! What kind of truth is this! Li Qi really can't understand this strange Jiulang, but he is willing to exchange his cooking skills for strange Jiulang's medical skills. In that case, he can save Zhao Jingyan, he thought, please beg me
Ah. If you beg me, I will promise you.
Shen Wen said happily: "Dad, you agreed."
Wei Jiulang stroked his beard, glanced at Li Qi, suddenly laughed, looked at his son lovingly and said, "We'll talk about this later."
"oh."
Shen Wen seemed to respect his father very much and said nothing more.
Li Qi looked at the father and son. He was a little confused and didn't know what Gui Jiulang had in mind.
After having enough food and wine, all the dishes on the table were eaten. This strange Jiulang really kept his word and ate everything Yin Shi had cooked without leaving anything behind. He ate almost all of it by himself.
, because Shen Wen was preoccupied with eating the tea-smoked chicken. Although Liu Yunxi did not eat Li Qi's food, she only had so much food. The key was that Li Qi was full from the previous meal.
Ma Qiao didn't care about so much. He ate whatever was delicious and couldn't wrong himself. He didn't pay much attention to this. As for Li Qi, he ate a little casually. Zhao Jingyan had a bad day. He was stuck here, where could he?
I can still eat.
The wine was all gone, but Gui Jiulang didn't go to get any more wine. He drank as much as Yin took. But he brewed the wine himself, and he knew the alcohol content well. Seeing Ma Qiao drink so much
There was no reaction at all, no blush on the face, the food tasted better than anyone else, and he felt a little hot in his body. He knew that he was no match for Ma Qiao when it came to drinking.
After eating, Ms. Yin very virtuously removed the dishes and chopsticks, and Shen Wen also ran to help his mother wash the dishes.
Li Qi had been holding it in all morning and couldn't bear it anymore. He said: "Kuai Jiulang, I wonder when you are going to help---help my wife treat her illness."
It was just now that Jiu Lang called Zhao Jingyan his wife. He had already determined that Zhao Jingyan was his wife anyway, so he didn't change the title.
Kaijiulang said seriously: "There is no problem in helping your wife treat her illness, but I have a condition."
Li Qi said very frankly: "I know your rules, but even if I give you all my property, you still can't swallow it. You'd better just tell me the amount."
His business is huge, and it involves many people, including Emperor Zhao Kai. How dare he blame Jiulang?
Gui Jiulang laughed and said: "I live here, there is no difference between having money and having no money."
Li Qi frowned and said, "What are your conditions?"
"We'll talk about this later. I just want you to know this and don't say that I'll raise the price temporarily."
"But my wife can't wait, so you'd better say it now."
Wei Jiulang shook his head and said, "I can help your wife heal first."
"Then I have no problem."
Gui Jiulang smiled and said: "You are lucky. If you had killed me eight years ago, I would not have been able to cure your wife's disease. The poison that seals the throat with blood is very powerful."
, I have worked hard to find an antidote to this toxin, and that was the only time I went out of the valley in the past fifteen years, but I finally found the antidote."
Li Qi was ecstatic when he heard this, but did not show it on his face. He asked, "I wonder what the antidote is?"
Gui Jiulang said: "Have you ever heard of this saying, wherever poison grows, there must be an antidote around it."
Li Qidao: "These words sound strangely familiar."
Ma Qiao said: "Isn't this very similar to something Hong Qigong said?"
"Yeah."
Gui Jiulang asked curiously: "Who is Hong Qigong?"
"That's just a character in a story. It's not important. It's not important." Li Qi had no time to explain who Hong Qigong was, and then asked: "Is this true or false?"
"You are really stupid. Of course this is a lie. If it were true, there would be no poison in the world." Gui Jiulang snorted.
"Well...!"
Li Qi was speechless for a while, damn, wasn't that what you said?
Gui Jiulang said again: "But since there is such a saying, it must have its truth, at least for this blood-seal-throat tree."
Liu Yunxi immediately said: "Master means that the antidote grows around the trees that see blood seal their throats."
Wei Jiulang nodded and said: "That's right. This is the only tree in the world that can cure the poison of blood-sealed throat. There is usually a kind of tree growing around the blood-sealed throat tree. This tree is shaped like a scissor and the plant is slender.
, very easy to recognize.”
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Then do you know where this tree is?"
Gui Jiulang said: "There is a deep mountain forest a hundred miles south of this valley. I once found this kind of tree in it. You just need to cut off some branches and come back."
Li Qi stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go now."
Gui Jiulang said: "Do you know medical skills? Are you sure you can find that tree? Your wife only has seven days to live. If you can't come back in seven days, the gods can't save her."
What he said makes sense, but I was too reckless. Li Qi asked: "What do you mean?"
Gui Jiulang thought about it for a while and said: "Let's do this, Shiniang, you go with him. You should have seen the blood-sealable throat tree. As long as you find the blood-sealable throat tree, you can find the antidote."
