The queen must start from the head

Chapter 235
When Mu Lian and Li Mei came out of the teleportation formation of Wantongbao Pavilion again, this place was already in Tianji District.

The two teleported for five days in a row. After landing at this moment, Mu Lian only felt a little uncomfortable, but Li Mei's complexion turned pale, and she seemed to be a little nauseous.

"Are you okay? Shall we find a place to rest first?"

After hearing the words of her head, Li Mei nodded.

When the two of them came out of the teleportation formation, there was no one in the branch of Wantongbaoge to talk to them.

Mu Lian took a look at this branch, and its size was at least three times that of the branch in Wushuang City.

There are as many as a hundred days of waiters in the shop just waiting for customers.

It was the busy time in the shop, and the shop was crowded with people, no wonder no one came to receive the two customers who came here by long-distance teleportation.

Mu Lian withdrew her gaze, and said to Li Mei, "Let's go first."

Anyway, the two of them didn't intend to buy anything for the time being, so they left the shop of Wantongbao Pavilion first.

Once outside, it was really a scene full of people and voices everywhere.

Mu Lian thought about it for a while, this city is only the eighth largest city in Tianji District, with a total population of over one million.

Looking at the tall buildings all around, row upon row, they are far from the ordinary three-story pavilions in Wushuang City.

After Li Mei came out of the branch of Wantongbao Pavilion, her complexion improved slightly.

After she stepped on the ground, the nausea in her heart gradually receded.

At this moment, she was also looking around at this strange and novel city.

Most of the people who come and go along the way are practitioners who pass by in a hurry with long swords on their backs.

On both sides of the street, there are medicine shops, weapons shops, taverns, and teahouses everywhere, and they are indeed much more prosperous than Wushuang City.

After walking for a while, the two of them randomly found a roadside restaurant and planned to try the food here.

The waiter in the waiting hall welcomed the two female guests to the window seat on the second floor and ordered the menu.

When it comes to food, Li Mei is an expert.

She picked out a few seasonal vegetables and a few meat dishes from the menu with a sharp eye.

After she finished ordering, Xiaoer confirmed the menu with her, and couldn't help but raised her thumb and said, "This girl really knows how to order! The menu you ordered is from our restaurant. The old tie who come here often will order the dishes. I have confirmed the dishes with you here, and I will leave it to the back kitchen to cook later, please wait a moment!"

Li Mei nodded and thanked Xiao Er.

She picked up the tea on the table, washed the cups for herself and the boss first, then took two clean teacups and poured two cups of clear and translucent tea.

While drinking tea and talking, the two looked at the lively street scene outside the window.

Mu Lian thought for a while and said, "How is your research on the "Food Classic" I gave you earlier?"

"Basically, I've eaten through it all."

Although Li Mei didn't say that she had mastered that book, Mu Lian knew that this disciple of hers had achieved ten points in everything, and would only say that she had achieved eight points.

Since she said that she has basically understood it, she should be sure.

Because of this disciple of her own family, Mu Lian also learned something about catering and food cultivation.

She found that the way of food is not so easy to practice.

First of all, a qualified chef needs to understand the composition, medicinal value and nutritional value of each ingredient; secondly, he must learn how to perfectly match different ingredients; The sublimation of fragrance and aura content.

In these three steps, the requirements of each step are very high.

Moreover, even if the chef cooks food that is complete in color, flavor and taste, if the chef himself has not poured his heart and soul into it, and has not gained any understanding of the Tao from it, then this dish is not a perfect dish in the true sense.

After the two talked for a while, Xiao Er came up with dishes.

"Second guests, the dishes you ordered are here. Emerald white jade, assorted agate, stuffed tofu, please eat slowly!"

Xiao Er said and set out three plates of seasonal vegetables.

Mu Lian looked at the three dishes with interest.

I saw that the emerald and white jade was actually a stir-fried vegetable with intersecting green and white.

When Xiao Er put down the vegetables, he picked up a small cup of chicken soup boiled until fragrant and poured it from the top of the emerald green vegetables.

In an instant, this complete green vegetable slowly opened petal after petal like a flower blooming.

The light dishes are combined with the soft and mellow chicken soup, which is very tempting.

The second dish, assorted agate, was cut into ball-bead radishes the size of a thumb.

Red, yellow, white, green, all kinds of beads are intertwined together, and there is a crystal clear layer of sweet juice dripping on them.

It looks really colorful and beautiful, as if it is indeed a plate of pearls and agates.

The third dish looked like six pieces of ordinary tofu, with some ruddy tender meat stuffing on it, and a few pieces of green onion on top.

Mu Lian raised her hand to pick up the chopsticks, took a piece of tofu, and put it in the bowl in front of her.

When she picked up the tofu and bit it down lightly, the unique smooth taste of tofu erupted from the tip of her tongue in an instant.

There is no beany smell in the tofu, and it is replaced by a soft and smooth taste like milk. With the rich braised gravy on the top, the tasteless tofu is actually brewed into an unspeakable deliciousness.

By the time Mu Lian put down the chopsticks in her hand, the big piece of tofu had been wiped out by her before she knew it.

Then she reached out for a piece of emerald white jade and some assorted agates, and found that the quality of these two dishes was quite good.

But in general, these dishes are still a little bit worse than Li Mei's dishes.

After all, Mu Lian is still a layman in this field. Although she can judge the quality of different dishes with her own keen perception, if she is asked to carefully distinguish the quality of the dishes, she will say not come out.

Li Mei, who was sitting opposite her, was thinking about something while tasting the dishes.

Sometimes she frowned and sometimes smiled, it seemed that she had gained something.

Not long after, the first meat dish was served.

This is a steamed river eel dish.

When Xiaoer was serving the dishes, he was still enthusiastically introducing them.

"Guest officers, outside our Linhe city, there is a clear Heng River passing by, where the green-skinned river eels are the most famous. The river eels in our restaurant are all fresh eels from the Heng River. Once a customer orders this For a dish, it must be slaughtered and steamed now. This river eel is delicious! Use it slowly, both of you!"

Mu Lian looked at the clear-colored river eel with its head and tail on the plate on the table, and saw the exquisite flower knife cut out of its body, revealing the extremely white and tender meat inside, and she felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart.

When she lowered her chopsticks, she picked up a piece of eel meat and put it in her mouth.

In an instant, an indescribably fresh, smooth, refreshing taste filled her lips and teeth.

This river eel meat is so soft and smooth that it melts in your mouth, it is really tender!
Mu Lian took off her chopsticks repeatedly, and Li Mei across from her was also very interested in this dish.

Not long after, the two of them ate the whole river eel together.

Even after eating all the eels, Mu Lian only felt that the umami taste of river freshness was still in her mouth and it was difficult to dissipate.

Li Mei, who was on the side, wiped her mouth and said, "Master, this eel has been freshened at least five times from slaughter to steaming. Every time the freshness is raised, the freshness and smoothness of the fish has been raised to a higher level. .Combined with the high quality of the ingredients and the proper mix of seasonings, this fish can be said to use the simplest ingredients to achieve the ultimate delicacy!"

After she finished speaking, before Mu Lian could answer, a sudden burst of applause came from behind the two of them.

Mu Lian followed the prestige, but saw a middle-aged man in a blue robe walking towards the two of them while applauding.

The person who came had a pair of squinted eyes, and looked very easy-going with a smile, as if humans and animals were harmless.

He came to the two of them, saluted with Mu Lian, and then got up and told the reason for his visit.

"I'm sorry to bother you two just now. Master Mu, my master knows that you are here for the first time, and wants to invite you to be a guest at the house. I don't know what you want?"

"May I ask your Excellency who is your master?"

"The eldest son of Diming Sect."

Di Mingzong?
Isn't this the sect of the sixth-rank sect who visited Wushuang City when the spiritual tide broke out in the Yaoguang District a few years ago?
Why did the eldest son of the Underworld Sect know his whereabouts?Can you still send someone to find your current foothold?

Thinking of this, Mu Lian turned her eyes to go downstairs, but saw a peddler on the corner of the street who was collecting stalls quickly glanced at her, and then immediately retracted his head.

Mu Lian sneered in her heart, it turned out that she was already being targeted when she first came to Linhe City!

The Underworld Sect is one of the super powers in Tianji District, and it can be regarded as the local snake here.

Since the other party has already invited her to the door, how can she have no reason to do so?

Therefore, she replied flatly, "No hurry, I will go to your house after the two of us finish this meal."

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Then I'll wait for you two downstairs first."
