Zuihuanlou
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. If you tell it, you will be struck by lightning."
Liu Zai Xi understood that this man was a charlatan.
I didn't intend to waste time with this charlatan, as that would only make me look more depressed. Just as I was about to turn around and leave, he stopped me again.
"Hey, hey, hey, you can't leave. I haven't told you how to break the deadlock yet."
"No, I'm busy. I'll leave first."
The old man walked up to Liu Zaixi and said, "That won't do. You gave me money, so I have to help you."
Liu Zai Xi bit her lip. This guy is too dedicated.
Liu Zai Xi became interested. It would be boring to walk aimlessly anyway, so he might as well listen to what the old man had to say.
"Then tell me how to break the deadlock."
The old man cleared his throat and spoke slowly, "Young lady, your two tribulations are interconnected. One leads to the other. As long as you break one, the other will also be broken without any attack."
Liu Zaixi nodded and motioned the old man to continue.
"Ahem, actually, the solution is very simple. Just follow your heart."
"?"
"You seemed to have said something, but you also said nothing." Liu Zai Xi was speechless. Why should she waste her time on this?
"The girl might think I'm talking nonsense, but she might also feel depressed and do impulsive things, but then feel uncomfortable all over again."
Liu Zai Xi thought about it carefully. It started from the second time. Every time Qiu Wuji kissed her, she couldn't help but respond. Then she began to regret it and felt that she was too impulsive.
The old man seemed to know something, and Liu Zaixi nodded.
"That's right, the girl doesn't know her own heart. Her body moves according to her heart, but she thinks it's just temporary."
"As long as you recognize your true feelings, you will be able to break this situation and everything will go smoothly from now on."
"Looking at your face, I can see that you are a blessed person, but you have been tripped up by this calamity. As long as you can overcome it, your future life will surely be envied by everyone."
Liu Zaixi probably knew what the old man was talking about. What he meant was that she liked Qiu Wuji. How could that be possible? She and Qiu Wuji only had a relationship of interest, nothing else. If it was just those impulses, it was probably because she hadn't touched a man for too long, and it wasn't her true intention. Anyway, the proud Liu Zaixi would never admit it.
"Girl, life is short. If you miss it, you will never get it again."
Hearing this, Liu Zai Xi looked up at the old man, but the old man had disappeared. He had just finished speaking when he disappeared, like a ghost that came and went without a trace. Liu Zai Xi shuddered, wondering if he had been possessed by an evil spirit.
Liu Zai Xi patted his face and continued walking forward.
Suddenly, a magnificent-looking building appeared in front of me. Its name was Zuihuanlou. Is it a place for drinking?
It was clearly daytime, but there were very few people, and all those who went in were women. Liu Zai Xi was extremely curious and stood outside the door looking around.
At this time, the madam of the shop noticed Liu Zaixi on the second floor and quickly came down with her chest exposed: "Why don't you come in and take a look, young lady? It's so boring just staying outside."
"Are you running a restaurant?" As soon as Liu Zai Xi finished speaking, the old madam laughed.
"It's obvious this is your first time here, isn't it?" the madam whispered into Liu Zaixi's ear, causing her to step back. This was a men's brothel, reserved for women's enjoyment.
The madam threw Liu Zaixi a coquettish glance and said: "If you are free, you can come in for a drink in the evening. We will definitely let you have sex." After that, she touched Liu Zaixi's hand and walked into the store with a smile.
Liu Zai Xi's hair stood on end. How did he end up in this place?
She turned around and tried to leave quickly, but stopped after only two steps. Isn't this Zuihuanlou the best way to prove whether she likes Qiu Wuji or not? As long as she comes here tonight, if she reacts to other men, it means she's been horny for too long and has nothing to do with Qiu Wuji. If she doesn't react, then maybe she has some feelings for him.
After getting the verifiable answer, Liu Zai Xi felt lighter, walked back to the store with cheerful steps.
Due to poor condition these days, the progress of Xinjiang fried rice noodles has been lagging behind. It’s time to move forward.
Back in the store, Pan Ji looked at Liu Zaixi with a smile on his face: "Boss, you've found the answer."
Liu Zaixi smiled and said, "Almost. It will be available soon."
Zhang Jude appeared at this time: "Boss, the dried chili peppers and green peppers you asked us to soak have been chopped up and are waiting for you to come back."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Several people walked towards the kitchen to prepare the sauce.
Liu Zaixi learned how to make this sauce from a master. He said that if you feel that the sauce bought online does not taste right, just add a few spoonfuls of this.
Prepare one spoon each of chopped green onion, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped celery, put them in a bowl, then add bean paste, the chopped pepper sauce left over from making chopped pepper fish head last time, a spoonful of oyster sauce, a spoonful of sugar, a little pepper powder and MSG, then add chicken essence and stir evenly with clean water. The sauce is now ready. The control over the quantity is quite strict. Liu Zai Xi carefully instructed everyone to be careful.
Pour oil into the wok and, when it's hot, prepare the hot pot base. Luckily, Liu Zaixi also has it, otherwise it would be a hassle to make it from scratch. Liu Zaixi pours in the green and red chilies she's prepared and sautés them until fragrant, then pours in the prepared sauce.
"The temperature is very important and must be controlled well," said Liu Zaixi.
The three of them watched carefully, not daring to be careless.
Turn to medium-low heat and simmer for about five minutes.
The sauce for fried rice noodles is now ready.
Liu Zai Xi's serious look fell into Liu Mubai's eyes. Every move, frown and smile were so touching. Liu Mubai liked this moment very much. There was no outsider to disturb him. At this time, Liu Zai Xi belonged to them.
Jealousy is a very scary thing. Once it falls into the soil, it begins to take root and sprout, growing deeper and deeper little by little. Its roots are everywhere, and it is impossible to pull it out. And that seed has now fallen into Liu Mubai's heart.
Time flies when you're truly invested in something. My Xinjiang fried rice noodles started to pick up speed, and the finished product was quite good, with a vibrant color and aroma. Each strand of rice noodle was generously coated in the sauce, a vibrant red that looked incredibly appetizing. Liu Zaixi's version was the spiciest, nearly bringing Xiaozhu, who couldn't handle spicy food, to tears. Even after drinking a full pot of water, Xiaozhu couldn't recover from the spiciness.
Liu Zaixi looked at Xiaozhu who was crying because of the spicy food, and suddenly thought, if Qiu Wuji ate this Xinjiang fried rice noodles, would he cry because of the spiciness?
Few people have ever seen Qiu Wuji crying. After all, he was such a proud person in front of outsiders. This was very similar to Liu Zaixi. Liu Zaixi suddenly thought of the first time he met Qiu Wuji. He looked so high and mighty. Every movement was so noble that he didn't even want to give others a glance. Liu Zaixi curled his lips and smiled. There are many people like him.
In the evening, the three returned to the palace.
On her way back to Yinqiu Pavilion, Liu Zaixi suddenly remembered that every time she returned to the palace, she always spent the most time with Qiu Wuji, never having time to spend with Xiaozhu and the others. This was mainly because Qiu Wuji always did something unexpected, so she didn't dare to be with him in front of Xiaozhu and the others, while Qiu Wuji always clung to her. After verifying this, it seemed that she would have to make more time to spend with them.
When he arrived at the door of Yinqiuxie, the lights were off. Liu Zaixi himself did not even notice the disappointment in his heart.
A maid happened to pass by the door, and Liu Zaixi stopped her and said, "Do you know where the prince is?"
Maid: "The prince seems to have gone to the palace. It looks like he won't be back tonight. He will probably be back tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Liu Zai Xi didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.
However, I can sneak out of the house tonight.
Everyone went to bed and nothing was left at night.
Liu Zai Xi, wearing a cloak, tiptoed towards the back door of the palace like a thief.
The road was smooth and unobstructed. Liu Zai Xi walked through the alleys and came to the brightly lit street. The night was as bright as day. Liu Zai Xi walked forward and soon came to Zuihuanlou. It must be said that this place was even more lively than during the day.
The madam soliciting customers at the door spotted Liu Zaixi at a glance and greeted her warmly: "Isn't this the girl from the daytime? Please come in."
Several men in scantily clad clothes supported Liu Zai Xi as she walked forward. Liu Zai Xi had no chance to resist and entered Zuihuanlou.
After entering, Liu Zai Xi discovered that there were many women here, and they all looked very rich. Liu Zai Xi guessed that some of them might know him, so he booked a private room.
Inside the private room, the madam came in and asked, "Would you like to add something to your wine, young lady?"
Since it was Liu Zaixi's first time here, he naturally didn't understand what "adding ingredients" meant. He just thought it meant adding something to the wine, so he nodded in agreement. The madam smiled shyly and gave instructions.
"What kind does the girl want?"
Liu Zaixi didn't know what he liked, but he was rich and willful: "I want the best."
The madam immediately smiled happily. He was right. Liu Zai Xi was a big client. He got up and went outside to find someone for Liu Zai Xi.
At this time, Liu Zaixi's wine came up. The man who served the wine had seductive eyes and wanted to stick to Liu Zaixi immediately. Liu Zaixi sighed that the men here are really... proactive.
The madam wanted to make a fortune from Liu Zaixi, so she brought seven prostitutes to him at once, with different styles and body shapes, to ensure his enjoyment.
Liu Zaixi looked at the men who were about to pounce on her and swallowed her saliva. She wondered if they were too presumptuous. It felt like she was cheating on her husband.
Some of the men are cold and some are passionate. The cold one is quietly playing the piano in the distance, while the passionate one is already in Liu Zai Xi's arms.
The wine that was just served was poured by a man who looked young to Liu Zaixi. The aroma of the wine was indeed mellower and sweeter than usual. It was a wine suitable for women, probably because of the "ingredients" added.
