Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

"Girl, come here! What new dishes did your shopkeeper come up with?" As soon as Lao Li sat down with his cane, he called Xiao Qing over.

"Stir-fried Yuanzi with wild mushrooms. The new dishes are 25% off today and only cost Wen. Do you want to eat them too?"

Xiao Qing didn't know Lao Li Tou, so Ma Xi called out his voice and came to the lobby.

"Old Li Tou, you are a rare visitor! Please take a seat."

Old Li Tou is no longer the beggar he used to beg. He is now setting up a stall in the ghost market for people to tell fortunes. Although his clothes are rough, he is neat.

He put his crutch on the table, looked at Mao Xi up and down, and stroked his beard with a smile on his face: "Girl Mao, you still recognize me as an old man, you have opened a restaurant now, things are really different from the past, hahaha... "

"Wherever I go, the diners are always there to cheer me up. Would you like rice, pancakes, and a jug of good wine, Old Li Tou?"

Lao Li shook his head and shook the gourd on his back: "I've brought my own wine, and I'll have two more pieces of pickled cabbage pancakes. I really miss the taste of your cooking... and the fried rice dumplings that the girl recommended just now." Discounted dishes?”

"Stir-fried scallop meat with mushrooms. You are the first customer. I only charge you 25 cents for half price."

Old Li Tou took out some coins from his pocket, counted them and put them on the table: "Is this enough money for food?"

"That's enough, just wait a minute!" Mao Xizhi collected 25 copper coins and gave the other copper coins to Old Li Tou, "Old man, I'll treat you to the pancakes!"

Xiao Qing served her freshly fried hot vegetables and two pieces of cake.

Lao Li drank the wine in the gourd and finished a piece of cake and a whole plate of fried yuanzi.

He wiped his mouth and was very satisfied. He put the remaining piece of cake into his arms, took the chopsticks and copper coins on the table, made a bunch of signs, and began to divine.

"Little girl, come here and I'll give you a hexagram for free."

"Old man, I only ask about business and peace. Is this hexagram good?"

Old Li rolled his eyes and muttered: "The wealth is prosperous, but be careful of the candle!"

Be careful with candles? No one has set off firecrackers recently, and the shop has two large water tanks.

Although Mao Xi was a little puzzled, he still thanked Old Li Tou. After all, his previous calculations were quite accurate.

Three days later, Mao Xi did not go to Shopkeeper Hu's rice noodle workshop to pick up the reserved rice noodles as agreed.

In order to dispel any doubts, shopkeeper Hu asked his wife to personally take the 20 kilograms of dried rice noodles ordered by Shu Xi to Haoweilou.

"Shopkeeper Liu, why didn't you come to pick up the dried rice noodles you ordered from my workshop? Look, I've shipped them all for you. You can count them."

Ma Xi came to the door to greet Mrs. Hu. She pretended to slap her head and said, "Oh, look at my head. I met a bad guy on the way home last time. I forgot about it. Look!" Ma Xi stretched out his hand. He picked up his bandaged right wrist and said, "I'm injured, and I haven't been cooking recently. I really need you to come and deliver the rice noodles in person!"

Mrs. Hu took the opportunity to loudly announce to the diners at Haoweilou: "If you still need rice noodles in the future, you can directly send someone to Qingxianglou to ask for it. I have all fresh rice noodles prepared there~"

"I was also in a hurry that day. Madam Hu, would you like to come in for tea?"

"No, I have something else to do, see you later~"

After returning from Qingxiang Building, Mrs. Hu immediately reported Shui Xi's condition to Shopkeeper Hu.

"Sir, shopkeeper Liu didn't have any doubts about our rice noodle workshop. He seemed to be frightened and his wrist was injured. He can't even use a spatula!"

Shopkeeper Hu and Peng Ying, the leader of the Goshawk Gang, were eating roasted beef. He raised his glass and toasted Peng Ying: "Gang Leader Peng, you still have a way, drink! Jiejiejiejie..."

"Drink! Then tomorrow, I will ask Hei Lan to deliver Xiaoyao Powder to your rice noodle workshop, hahaha!"

Lou Lan'er, who was hiding outside the house and eavesdropping, brought the news to Yi Zhili, who was disguised as a bearded man and said: "Brother Li Bing, I will go back and report it to Brother Mu. You should be more careful."

"I will continue to lurk in the Goshawk Gang. When the time comes, I will cooperate with you both inside and outside, and we will catch them all in one fell swoop."

That night, Haoweilou was preparing to close.

Mao Xi and Xiao Qing were cleaning the stove together when Lou Lan'er's voice came to their ears.

"It's just past Haishi, why did you close so early today? How's the business lately?"

Lou Lan'er had already taken off her formal attire and put on casual clothes.

Ajiao saw Lou Lan'er whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She rushed over first, hugged Lou Lan'er's calf and said, "Sister Ajiao, long time no see. Sister Ajiao said you went to your hometown, did you bring delicious apricots?" Fuck me!”

"I accidentally finished eating on the way, maybe next time~" Lou Laner picked up Ajiao and came to Shui Xi.

"Ajiao, come down quickly. I want to take a good look at Sister Lan'er."

Ah Jiao jumped from Lou Lan'er's arms to the ground. Lou Lan'er went up and hugged Shu Xi: "Ah Shu, I'm back."

"Sister Lan'er, you've been here for almost a month and you've lost weight~"

"Forget it, the dance band in Qingxiang House has little food and poor food. They still sleep in a wing room, and the bed is not as soft as at home..."

Ajiao pulled Lou Lan'er's trouser leg: "Sister Lan'er, do you look like me in the painting?"

Lou Lan'er picked up the ink painting painted by A Jiao. It turned out to be her disguised and dancing in Hu costume.

"Ajiao likes painting. I recently sent her to Qi Rui's Yaji Painting Academy to learn painting from him. I didn't expect this little guy to imitate Qi Rui and paint you."

"You told Brother Qi that I was going to Qingxiang Tower?"

"No, maybe when he was thinking about you, he painted you like the goddess in the mural. I'll give you a day off tomorrow and go find him."

"Where's Brother Mu? I still have business to see him about."

"I guess they're still at the teahouse. I'll go with you."

Mao Xi took Lou Lan'er to the teahouse next to the rice noodle workshop.

The people inside and outside the teahouse have long been replaced by the palace's entourage and a few government servants.

Zhang Captou and Mu Zhiyuan were on the second floor watching every move in and out of the workshop.

Lou Lan'er brought the news to Mu Zhiyuan, reminding him that Xiaoyao Powder might be delivered to the rice noodle workshop from tomorrow.

"Your Highness, when shall we take action?" Zhang Captou asked for instructions.

"Is a branch of pear still in there?" Mu Zhiyuan took a sip of tea, "If you do something now, you might be able to frighten the enemy!"

"He's disguised as a member of the Goshawk Gang. He's a big bearded man."

"Captain Zhang, Mrs. Hu went to Haowei Building to find Shopkeeper Liu today. As long as they eliminate their suspicions about Ma Xi, they will probably start shipping goods tonight."

"My subordinates will send more manpower and arrest people tonight!"

Mu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said: "No, we must wait until the black ghost-faced man shows up and confirms that Xiaoyao Powder has been transported from the workshop before we can take action. Yi Zhili will follow the carriage in question and send out a code. Don't worry yet. .”

The next day, there was no news from Yi Zhili.

During the day on the third day, more and more carriages were coming in and out of the rice noodle workshop, but Yi Zhili still had no news.

"Your Majesty, has Li Bing been discovered?"

"Zhang Captou, calm down!"

It was not until late at night on the third day that Li Bing, disguised as a bearded man, finally followed the cargo carriage out and made a signal gesture in the direction of the teahouse.

"Now!" Mu Zhiyuan led Zhang Baotou and his lurking entourage and government officials to intercept.
