10. Chapter 10
Although he survived it by relying on his extraordinary intentions, Nahexiang still caused damage to his body. Especially Cui Buqu’s health was not bad, which made it even worse. When he got up the next day, he knew that he was getting fever again.
Slowly exhaling a hot breath, Cui Buqu has long been used to this feeling, but it does not mean that he will like or enjoy it.
No one wants to be suffering from illness forever, but since he can't get rid of it, he can only get used to it.
There was a set of clean clothes and a thick cloak at the head of the bed, which was probably brought by Pei Jingzhe. Feng Xiao could not ask about such a small matter. Cui Buqu changed it without hesitation, wrapped himself tightly, washed it with the water already prepared in the wing room, and then he walked out of the bedroom.
Feng Xiao was impatient when he was waiting outside and asked Pei Jingzhe to come in and urge him.
Pei Jingzhe originally thought that Cui Buqu was too slow, but when he saw that the other party was paler than yesterday, he clenched his fists and coughed with his lips, he felt a little embarrassed and his voice became a little more harmonious.
"Master Cui Guan, your clothes are still suitable, right?"
"Just, thank you."
Pei Jingzhe smiled and said, "Today's breakfast is not used in the mansion. The husband said, "I'm going to eat outside."
Cui Bugu: "It's really not easy. I woke up and finally waited for a sumptuous meal."
Pei Jingzhe smiled awkwardly: "You just woke up yesterday and you can't eat too much greasy food."
When Cui didn't go and saw that this man was so scheming, he was not as 20% of Feng Xiao's face.
He nodded slightly without hesitation, no longer making things difficult for the other party.
Seeing that the two of them finally came out, Feng Xiao couldn't help but tickled: "Wear clothes and rub as hard as the little lady in a sedan chair!"
Others had a fever and their face turned red, but Cui Buqu’s face turned pale, wrapped in a white cloak, standing in the snow, so light that it almost blended into one.
Cui Buqu said lightly: "The master is mean and he doesn't give him food after he poisons. What's the solution?"
Feng Xiao looked in a good mood and said with a smile: "Then you have a good time today. There is a new restaurant in the city. I'm invited Mrs. Hong to take care of you. You have lived in Liugong City for two months. You may not have heard of her name."
Cui Buqu: "Miss Hong from Hong's scones?"
Feng Xiao: "That's right."
This Hong's baking pancake was originally a famous baking pancake stall in the city. It was run by the Hong's father and daughter. What was rare is that the father and daughter were very good at playing spoons. They were hung with the signature baking pancakes, but they made a good dish. They were well-known in the city. It is said that even merchants from Qiemo City made special trips to try it out.
Cui Buqu has also eaten it once. It tastes really good. The noodle soup is made of bones. The noodles are as thin as silver shreds. After being taken out of the water, add the soup, pour a spoonful of Hong's special braised pork sauce, sprinkle a layer of chopped chopped chopped chopped green onion, and a bowl of braised pork noodles. Even if it is cold, it will be comfortable all over, not inferior to the chefs in Beijing.
However, some time ago, Hong's father passed away, and the rest of Miss Hong was the only one. Others talked about it. They all said that women were so delicate that they could not support themselves. The Hong's bakery was probably not open. Miss Hong would probably be taken as a concubine by a wealthy family. From then on, this delicious food was hard to taste again.
But to everyone's surprise, Miss Hong transformed herself into a transformation and did not live the life of having a meal, but was instead invited to be a chef.
Due to the Linlang Pavilion auction, people from the world carrying swords and swords could be seen everywhere on the street. Ordinary people were afraid of it, but Fengxiao ignored it and took Cui Bulu and Pei Jingzhe through the street and walked towards the restaurant.
Heroes violate the ban with martial arts. Anyone with all their abilities is often a bit arrogant. These people in the world are no exception. After all, there are very few masters who are humble. More of those who come out to walk are arrogant young people.
Some of these people are in groups of three or five. Although they do not have uniform clothing, the jade pendant on their waists is the same as the sword sheath on their backs. They are usually from a famous sect; some are alone, with a cold expression or a resentful face, which is not very good-tempered; some are men and women, talking and laughing, and women have cheerful and confident faces and brisk steps. These are usually young generations who come out of a certain aristocratic family to train.
Cui Buqu’s eyes flashed through them without a trace. With just one glance, he could basically tell the other’s respective origin and general temperament.
"Don't forget why I brought you out, Master Cui Guan, it's time for me to see your ability."
Hearing Feng Xiao’s words, Cui Buqu can’t help but want to roll his eyes again. “I haven’t eaten breakfast yet and have no energy to speak.”
Feng Xiao chuckled: "You cooperate well, I will solve the case earlier, and you can get rid of it one day. Is it interesting to have a fight with me now?"
Cui Bulu said coldly: "If I remember correctly, what you said yesterday was that if I was willing to cooperate, I would consider helping me detoxify, instead of definitely helping me detoxify. I was suffering from the incense poison yesterday and couldn't refute it. Do you still want me to cooperate with such ambiguous words?"
Feng Xiao took out two porcelain bottles as thick as fingers from his sleeve and handed them to him.
"I'll give you a chance. One of these two bottles is empty and the other has antidotes inside, which can prevent you from being trapped by Naihexiang within three days. You can choose both right and wrong. Don't say that I'll treat you well."
Cui Buqun felt his heart burning now, as if someone lit a fire, which was about to burn before it was burned, and the hidden pain was unbearable, and even the bone marrow was affected. If millions of invisible hands were scratched, it was both numb and itchy. He knew in his heart that this was the raging poison. Although the poison was not harsh when it was not poisonous, it was enough to make people restless.
But he didn't pick the two bottles, and didn't even look at them. He just pursed his lips and continued to walk forward.
Feng Xiao yelled: "Why is this man so stubborn? His kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs!"
Cui Bugu sneered and said nothing.
If it is not completely detoxified, temporary relief will only be a poison to quench thirst. Feng Xiao is not kind-hearted, and he clearly wants to wait until he is unbearable to the poison before he will make a cliché.
Seeing that the other party refused to be fooled, Feng Xiao shrugged and put the bottle back.
There was indeed a new restaurant not far away. I hoped that I would write the word "Five Flavors" in front of the door, and people were surging, and it seemed quite lively.
Pei Jingzhe had already booked a seat. When he went there, he would report his name and there was no need to queue up like others. A friend immediately welcomed them into the inner seat.
This room looks not big outside, but there is a unique world inside. Pei Jingzhe and his friends followed him through the curved corridor, and found that the restaurant had bought and opened up several rooms around, divided into two parts: the lobby and the private room. Once they entered the private room, they were suddenly much quieter, with the surrounding flowers and trees, which was very interesting.
"This restaurant owner is quite a big deal, and he spent a lot of money here. Was it the work of the Cui family in Boling or the Li family in Longxi?" Pei Jingzhe was amazed.
Liugong City is a small border town, and no matter how prosperous it is, it cannot compare to the capital. Most of the merchants who come and go to their own things for a few days, exchange supplies, and turn around and go their separate ways. If it weren't for the Linlang Pavilion auction this year, it would definitely not be so lively. In Pei Jingzhe's opinion, opening such a large restaurant here would probably lose money.
The guy turned around and smiled when he heard the voice, "You guessed it wrong. It's not Li or Cui. Our boss is a local. He has been busy for most of his life and has been eating in one bite. He specially invited Mrs. Hong to take care of him. You guys are so lucky today. I heard that Mrs. Hong has tried many new dishes!"
He led the three into the private room, where there were four tables in one of them. One of them was already a pair of well-dressed young men and women sitting, with maids and servants standing behind them.
Although they were unable to occupy a living room, the four tables were not close together, and they left a spacious distance between them, which was not cramped.
Fengxiao ordered the dishes, but in a moment, the dishes were served one by one. Although there must be more than one lady Hong under the kitchen, her flamboyant and neat style can be seen.
"Silver-silk marinated noodles, hoof flower soup, hibiscus fresh vegetable soup, Hong's scones, pick up what you can eat, don't say I'm mean to you, I'm good to you this time, right?" He ticked the dishes with chopsticks, and asked for three more bowls of lotus seed soup.
Now is not the season for lotus seeds, and Liugong City is not a place where lotus seeds are abundant. These lotus seeds are transported from the south from thousands of miles away and have been dried and preserved for the whole winter. The value of these three bowls of lotus seed soup is probably more expensive than all the dishes added up to this meal.
For the sake of this bowl of lotus seed soup, Cui Buqu finally spoke: "The girl's surname is Lu, and she was born in a local wealthy family. It is said that her ancestors had some relatives with the Lu family in Fanyang, but she had long since disappeared. Lu's father was named Luti, and his main business was antique pawnshop. The semicolon was said to have been opened in Jiangnan. She was the richest man in Liugong City and had a great business skills."
His voice was neither high nor low, which was just enough for Fengxiao and Pei Jingzhe to hear it, but it couldn't be heard there.
Feng Xiao was very satisfied with his tactfulness. It was rare that the two of them did not argue tensely, but were talking calmly.
"Where is that guy, too, a member of the Lu family?"
Cui Buqu shook his head: "The man's surname is Su, and his name is Xing. He is considered to be the cousin of Lu. A few years ago, his parents died and his family fell into trouble. He came to join his cousin's family. Luti sponsored him to study and was said to have intended to recruit him as his son-in-law. If there is no accident, the two should get married in the past two years. Luti has no children and will be awakened in the future."
Feng Xiao: "Then was this Wuwei Restaurant opened by Luti?"
Cui Buqu said lightly: "It's not clear. After all, I've been locked up for several days, and maybe I missed a lot of news during this period."
He took the opportunity to stab the other party. The latter pretended not to smell it, picked up a piece of scone, broke off a small piece with his hands and put it into his mouth. While eating it, he said: "This cake tastes really good, but the teeth are good enough. Usually, people who have just recovered from a serious illness and have been infected with the poison can't eat it even if they want to. If you don't go, come and try it together?"
Cui Bu Go:...
Pei Jingzhe almost laughed out loud and quickly turned his head aside.
Then he saw the young man at the next table, picked up a piece of vegetarian goose, put it into the bowl of the girl beside him, and said softly: "Miaomiao, don't you like this dish? Come and eat more."
"Thank you cousin." The girl's voice did not hide her joy.
The customs of the people are quite open nowadays, especially in the north. If unmarried men and women are accompanied by their families and are in public, they will describe them as being closer and there is nothing to criticize. Pei Jingzhe was about to turn his gaze when he heard Fengxiao talking loudly to Cui Bulu.
"Go away, don't you like this dish? Come on, eat more!"
Pei Jingzhe almost sprayed out before he could swallow his baking cake.
But what was even more uncomfortable than him was that Cui Bugui, who had just raised his chopsticks to pick up food, stopped his hand, twisted and twitched, and his pale and handsome face became ferocious.
The young man at the table next door naturally heard that Feng Xiao was intentionally imitating himself, and anger appeared on his face.
