GIM-LSF 121 How to escape the bondage of interests in life?
Clouds come and go to the big restaurants and halls.
Li Xiaoyao personally brought a plate of oil-cooked peanuts and delivered them to the table of Jiu Jianxian. The snow-white salt grains were evenly sprinkled on the peanuts.
Jiu Jianxian quickly pulled out a pair of chopsticks, picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth. After a few seconds, he praised, "Okay! Good! Good! It's worthy of peanuts worth 58 cents a serving! It's fragrant and crispy, like the fine sand and salt grains of white snow, without any bitterness. It's true that it's expensive!"
Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise!"
"It's a pity that I'm sorry." Jiu Jianxian sighed and continued to pick up peanuts.
Li Xiaoyao snapped his fingers, and a waiter in the shop held a plate of meat and placed it on the table of Jiujianxian.
Jiu Jianxian looked at Li Xiaoyao suspiciously, "Little brother, what does this mean?"
"I think the Taoist priest is a person who knows delicious food, so I ask the Taoist priest to taste the delicious food. Don't worry, Taoist priest, this dish is free in this restaurant." Li Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Jiu Jianxian was not a restrained person. He picked up a piece of rosy meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After a moment, Jiu Jianxian nodded vigorously and said, "The meat is delicate and there is no earthy smell. Is this beef?" Jiu Jianxian lowered his voice.
The emperor of the dynasty had regulations prohibiting slaughtering and plowing oxen. Violators would be imprisoned and would be exiled for thousands of miles.
Li Xiaoyao nodded openly, "Please rest assured that the beef used in this store is all bred and stocked by our store. Our store has obtained the approval of the government to sell beef."
Jiu Jianxian nodded again. No wonder he saw beef dishes on the menu just now.
"It's delicious!" Jiu Jianxian picked up a few chopsticks again. Although he was a native of the Immortal Realm, Jiu Jianxian was a wild and unruly person who was addicted to alcohol and liked food.
Li Xiaoyao sat down with the opportunity, "Master Taoist, I have a small test. If you answer correctly, our store will give you another delicious dish!"
Jiu Jianxian claimed to be a food expert. While swallowing beef, he nodded, "Little brother, please tell me!"
"Can the Taoist priest guess the cooking process of this beef?" Li Xiaoyao added with a smile, "Master, you only need to guess part of it right."
Jiu Jianxian put down his chopsticks, drank a glass of rice wine, and first praised, "Little brother, the rice wine in your store is also awesome. It is not only clear and transparent, but also has a natural rice fragrance."
Li Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
Jiu Jianxian continued, "As for the cooking process of this plate of beef, if I was not wrong, you should have used smoked techniques, right? You carefully selected the beef spine and added spices to massage. The time for the kneading is definitely no less than an hour. Then, you used fruit wood and slowly smoked beef, and finally made into smoked beef, right?"
Li Xiaoyao applauded, "Master, can you guess what kind of fruit wood it is? If you can guess, I will give you a bottle of thyme wine cellar!"
"Are you serious?" said the Jiu Jianxian with his eyes shining.
"This is what you said seriously!" Li Xiaoyao said with a smile, "I am the young owner of this inn, so I can take it seriously!"
"So good!" said the Jiu Jianxian quickly, "You used peach wood, right?"
Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment and finally nodded, "That's right! But Taoist priest, how did you guess it?"
Jiu Jianxian laughed happily, "Because, there is a peach wood fragrance in the beef!"
"Awesome!" Li Xiaoyao praised, "Come here! Send a bottle of thyme wine cellar over, and in addition, urge the kitchen."
The waiter hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, Brother Xiaoyao."
After a while, the waiter brought two large plates on a tray. In each plate was a bright red lobster. The lobster emitted a strong and fresh fragrance, which made other guests saliva sound.
Jiu Jianxian also looked at the big lobster. He was slightly surprised. When he just looked through the menu, he clearly remembered that the price of this big lobster was 68 taels of silver.
In this era, an ordinary free farmer’s annual income will not exceed 10 taels of silver!
"Little brother, this is too expensive, right?" Jiu Jianxian said tentatively.
Li Xiaoyao waved his hand and said, "Master, let's eat big lobster first. It will be no good if it is cold for a while!" After Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, he started to eat first.
Jiu Jianxian was polite, but in the end he did not resist the temptation of delicious food. He also started eating. While eating, he praised, "Not bad! Not bad! It's really delicious! It's really worth 68 taels of silver!"
Li Xiaoyao also responded, "Big lobsters are very precious. They come from a sea area with a depth of more than 16 meters. Catching big lobsters is very difficult and requires a lot of luck. Therefore, the price of purchasing big lobsters is also very high. After purchasing, we still need to make a lot of effort to ensure that the big lobsters can survive and thus lock in the freshness of big lobsters. Therefore, the cost price of each big lobster is also very high."
The Jiujianxian nodded repeatedly, "I have lived for more than 40 years. This big lobster is definitely the best thing I have eaten!"
Li Xiaoyao laughed, "Master, there are many delicious foods you have never eaten before! The next dish is definitely delicious!" Li Xiaoyao greeted the waiter to serve the dishes again.
In less than two minutes, the waiter brought two sea bowls. Each sea bowl was filled with brown and yellow marinade and a huge abalone, which was marinated abalone.
Li Xiaoyao continued to introduce, "This is a marinated abalone. The cooking process is very complicated. After the preliminary cooking, it will take three days and three nights to stew it over low heat to let the taste completely enter the inside. Taoist priest, do you try it?"
Jiu Jianxian glanced at the marinated abalone, which was another good product worth 68 taels of silver. He guessed that Li Xiaoyao should have something to ask for. Anyway, he had already eaten the big lobster. Jiu Jianxian had a thought of not worrying about having too much debt. Before he started eating, the thyme wine cellar was brought up.
Li Xiaoyao reminded, "Master, do you want to try the thyme wine cellar first?"
Jiujianxian is addicted to alcohol, so of course he has to try the Thyme Cellar. He wants to see what kind of wine is called "Thyme"!
When the Wine Sword Fairy saw the Thyme Cellar, a trace of hesitation flashed through his eyes.
Because, the Thyme Wine Cellar actually uses crystal clear glass bottles to hold wine. In this ancient world, how shocking it is to hold wine with crystal clear glass bottles?
"Glass Bottle?" The Jiu Jianxian looked at Li Xiaoyao. He was increasingly unable to see through Li Xiaoyao. If the other party had something to ask for, would the price be too high?
To be honest, Jiu Jianxian also helps to catch monsters. If the boss is a poor man, it is acceptable to give a bottle of homemade rice wine; if the boss is a rich man, it will be only dozens of taels of silver at most.
The Jiujianxian had never met someone like Li Xiaoyao. Before he made a request, he gave out hundreds of taels of silver. However, Li Xiaoyao only paid some raw materials, and their costs were not as expensive as the price.
Li Xiaoyao picked up the bottle of the thyme wine cellar, "Yes!" He answered, unscrewed the bottle cap and then placed the thyme wine cellar on the wooden table.
"Hu~Hu~Hu~Hu~" After the Wine Sword Fairy opened the Thyme Cellar, she kept inhaling. He closed his eyes and a look of intoxication appeared on his face. He was obviously satisfied with the smell of the Thyme Cellar.
"It's worthy of being called 'Thyme'. It's really too fragrant, full of mellow smell and a hint of sweetness! You're welcome!" The Jiu Jianxian grabbed the bottle and drank it into his mouth.
"Good wine!" said the Jiujianxian loudly, "Good wine!"
Li Xiaoyao reminded, "Master, although the wine is good, the delicious food cannot be disappointed." After saying that, Li Xiaoyao began to eat marinated abalone, and he had already eaten the big lobster.
Jiu Jianxian nodded, without any politeness, and also began to taste marinated abalone.
Nearly half an hour, Li Xiaoyao and Jiujianxian finished eating. They drank a bottle of 52-degree white wine, showing some intoxication. Li Xiaoyao snapped his fingers, and the two waiters came over immediately.
Li Xiaoyao ordered, "Send the Taoist priest to Ronghua courtyard to rest."
Ronghua Courtyard and Fugui Courtyard are two independent courtyards of Yunlai Yunqu Inn. These two independent courtyards adopt a three-bedroom, one living room and four bathroom design scheme. Each room has an independent bathroom. In the inner courtyard, there is also an independent swimming pool. Even in winter, the independent swimming pool has a water temperature heating design, so there is no need to worry about the water temperature.
Two waiters sent Jiu Jianxian to the master bedroom of Ronghua Courtyard. When the two waiters left, Jiu Jianxian, who was already drunk, suddenly recovered from sobering.
While looking at the surroundings, he said to himself, "What does this little brother mean?"
Jiu Jianxian found a large booklet similar to a menu in the master bedroom. He opened the booklet and immediately understood that the booklet was the check-in instructions for Ronghua Courtyard.
The check-in instructions include how to control the water temperature of the inner courtyard swimming pool, and also explain the concept of water temperature. At the same time, the check-in instructions introduce the functions of the entire Ronghua Courtyard, including remote call waiter, etc.
"Interesting! Interesting!" After reading the check-in instructions, Jiu Jianxian walked into the bathroom in the master bedroom. According to the check-in instructions, he turned on the bathroom lights, and the bathroom suddenly became as bright as daytime.
Jiu Jianxian was amazed again, and he tried to turn on the sprayer again. Within a few seconds, the sprayer sprayed out appropriate warm water, which made Jiu Jianxian sigh, but only sigh.
On the top floor of Yunlai Yunqu Inn, there are only three rooms on this floor, namely Li Xiaoyao's suite, Aunt Li's suite, and Ding Xianglan and Ding Xiulan's rooms.
Li Xiaoyao sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the sea. He had just enthusiastically won over the Jiujianxian. Even if Jiujianxian knew that he had something to ask for, so what?
The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit!
How can people escape the shackles of interests in this world?
Even if the Jiujianxian is so wild and unruly, he is addicted to alcohol. Li Xiaoyao provided him with a thyme wine cellar, how could he break free?
