After breakfast, my brother and his friends went to school. Today was the day when Zuixianlou came to pick up vegetables. The waiter brought a few thugs to move the vegetables onto the ox cart. Seeing that the owner of their restaurant was also in the Xu family, he immediately came over to pay his respects.

Qibao asked, "How's the restaurant business lately?"

"The restaurant business is as good as ever, but something interesting happened yesterday!" said the waiter with a smile.

Qibao actually understood it in his heart, but he pretended not to know and deliberately asked, "What's interesting? Tell me about it?" Everyone in the Xu family also became interested.

The waiter began to narrate with great joy, "An interesting thing happened at Yipinxian yesterday. Yesterday at noon, a customer had a stomachache while eating at Yipinxian. We thought that customer was sick, but unexpectedly, other customers all had stomachaches and diarrhea one after another. Yipinxian's toilets were not enough, and the smell made people who passed by cover their noses and run away. Those customers accused Yipinxian of having problems with the food. The owner of Yipinxian had no choice but to find a doctor. The doctor diagnosed that it was indeed caused by eating Yipinxian's food, but could not find out the cause. Fortunately, those customers were not seriously injured. However, this incident caused a lot of uproar, and the whole town knew about it. Yipinxian not only lost money, but also lost its reputation. Last night, Yipinxian was deserted. The customers all came to my Zuixianlou. Haha, I'm so happy!"

Qibao smiled upon hearing this, thinking it was well deserved. The medicine she had given him wouldn't harm anyone, and would actually help detoxify them. The Xu family applauded, and Wang said, "This is truly heartening! Isn't Yipinxian arrogant? Let's see how he behaves in the future!" Wang still harbored a grudge against Yipinxian for sending someone to injure her son.

After listening to what the waiter said, Jing Chen was sure that the person he saw that day was Qibao. It turned out that he had a grudge against Qibao, so he ran to Yipinxian to drug her in the middle of the night. He was going to take revenge. What a vengeful girl.

After the guy left, Qibao took Jingchen and Su Chenyu with him and prepared to go to Daqingshan. Before leaving, Wang packed some dry food for Qibao to take with him on the road.

Qibao led them to the edge of the deep mountains in one breath and said, "I took this road to enter the mountain last time, and didn't find any trace of ginseng. Let's take another road, maybe we can still find it." Anyway, this road had been cleared by her, and there would be no big gains if they took this road again.

Su Chenyu said, "Thank you very much, Miss Xu."

Qibao said, "Don't call me girl all the time. It sounds awkward. My family calls me Qibao, so you should call me that too!"

Su Chenyu said, "Since you are not polite, Qibao, I won't bother with all this. Just call me by my name." Qibao nodded, looked at Jingchen again, and said nothing.

The two words "Jingchen" came out of his mouth lightly.

Qibao was stunned for a moment. She thought this stern-faced man couldn't speak, but then she understood what he meant and nodded without saying anything.

The group walked for an hour, encountering many wild animals and some medicinal herbs, but they were all common ones. When it was almost noon, Su Chenyu said, "Let's take a break. I'm a little hungry. Let's have some rabbit meat."

Qibao nodded and said, "I'm hungry too. Let's rest here."

The secret guards took the pheasants and rabbits to the nearby river to wash them. Qibao put her hands into the cloth bag she had prepared in the morning and took out a few small bottles containing some seasonings she had prepared.

Su Chenyu asked, "Qibao, what's in your bottle?"

Qibao said, "You'll know later. This is the seasoning I developed for barbecue."

After the secret guards brought back the prepared pheasants and rabbits, they skewered them on tree branches and started a fire to grill them. After about an incense stick of time, the pheasants and rabbits began to sizzle with oil. After turning them over several times, Qibao saw that they were almost done and sprinkled the prepared seasonings on the meat. Within moments, a unique aroma filled the air, making one's mouth water.

Su Chenyu swallowed and said, "Qibao, what seasoning did you bring? Why does it taste different from the barbecue we're used to having? This smells so good. When can we eat it?" Even the secret guards behind him kept scanning the meat on the shelf.

Qibao said, "This is called cumin, and there's another one made from chili powder. It's a pity I didn't bring any honey. If I brushed it with a layer of honey, it would be absolutely amazing!"

When all the meat was roasted, each person got one. Qibao grabbed a rabbit leg and started eating it. Su Chenyu beside him couldn't wait to start chewing it, praising it as he ate. "This meat is so delicious!" they said. "The barbecue they had eaten before was just sprinkled with salt. Today, they saw that barbecue could be so delicious."

Jing Chen didn't say anything, but seeing that he was eating the barbecue at a fairly fast pace, although he didn't chew it very slowly, one could tell that he was eating very elegantly, which seemed to be a result of his education since childhood.

Not to mention the secret guards, who were eating so much that their mouths were greasy. But if you think about it, you can understand that these secret guards have always been following their masters. Once the master has an order, the secret guards have to complete it without stopping. Sometimes they have to travel for a whole day and don’t even have time to eat a bite of food.

After eating the barbecue, Su Chenyu had an idea and said, "Qibao, have you ever thought about opening a barbecue restaurant? If you use these seasonings, there will definitely be a lot of people who like it."

Qibao had planned to open his own shop before, so opening a barbecue restaurant was not out of the question. So he said, "I have plans to open a shop myself, and it's not impossible to open a barbecue restaurant. But I have to put it on hold for now. I want to stabilize the greenhouse vegetable planting first. There's no rush now. But, aren't you afraid that if I open a barbecue restaurant in town, it will take away your Zuixianlou's business?"

Su Chenyu said, "Let's not talk about the fact that our main businesses are different, and there is no conflict. Customers always want to change their tastes. Besides, if you open a barbecue restaurant, I want to invest in it. I will give the labor to the shop, and you only need to have the seasoning recipe."

Jing Chen suddenly said, "Count me in too. I'll pay for it."

Qibao was surprised for a moment and said, "Let's talk about cooperation when we get back. We are still on the mountain! Finding ginseng is the most important thing." After they had a good rest, they continued on their journey.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they did find a ginseng, but it was not of the required age. Qibao still planned to dig it out. As they were carefully digging the ginseng, they suddenly heard a voice saying "Be careful!" and Qibao's body was suddenly pushed.

In fact, Qibao had already noticed the movement before the man opened his mouth. Just as he was about to take action, he was pushed away by Jingchen. Qibao got up and looked carefully. It turned out that he was attacked by a leopard. He saw Jingchen holding a bloody dagger in his hand, and there were several bloody marks on his arm. Several secret guards immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee, asking for punishment.

Su Chenyu said, "Cousin, are you okay? This is an adult leopard. Although it's large, it's very light on its feet and very fast. If you're not careful, you'll be attacked by it. It's very lethal."
