Feng Qing was lying on her bench in the sun.

She had been in a good mood these past few days. She had gained a lot of weight from eating and sleeping, forcing her to take a walk on the street after dinner.

The reason why Feng Qing was in a good mood was because she felt a sense of accomplishment. She turned her head and looked at the small stage next to her. The more she looked at it, the more comfortable she felt.

This was a new stage built in their inn, specially for the beauty to perform.

Before, she saw storytelling in the tavern opposite every day, and then a group of people went in to eat and drink. Feng Qing felt a little jealous when she saw it. She also wanted to do something similar in her own store. Unexpectedly, this wish would actually come true one day.

And what is this called? This is called a hero saving a beauty!

Feng Qing put her hand on her chest. Whenever she thought of this, her heart was very excited.

It's worthy of me.

Today, I did another great thing.

In the sunlight, Feng Qing's body was filled with the light of righteousness.

...

Chu Changzui looked upstairs.

He didn't know why, but his shopkeeper always showed that weird smile in the past two days, which always made him feel that the shopkeeper seemed to have secretly done something to subvert the world.

He looked outside the inn again.

I don't know what story is behind the clothes that the shopkeeper took out that day, but Chu Changzui still feels that the hidden story behind this dress is not ordinary serious, but the shopkeeper seems to have reached some kind of hidden tacit understanding with Hua Chao.

The two avoided talking about the dress, and the shopkeeper did not reveal the origin of the dress. In return, Hua Chaodu agreed to perform in the inn twice a month.

But Hua Chaodu had a request.

He did not want to be recognized by others.

Even so, this was a humiliating decision for the Dongchang Supervisor in a sense.

Chu Changzui sighed slightly. He could feel that when Hua Chaodu agreed to this, his eyes were full of murderous intent when he looked at the shopkeeper.

It seems that the days ahead will not be peaceful in the short term.

Chu Changzui sighed.

Although...

what does this have to do with a child like him?

He lowered his head to look at the book in front of him, and his expression instantly became serious.

It is known that A runs 100 miles per hour with Qinggong, and B runs 30 miles per stick of incense with Qinggong.

B starts chasing after A one hour after he runs away. How long will it take for B to catch up with A?

Look, it is indeed a secret book compiled by the shopkeeper himself.

Just looking at the speed of A and B, they are almost comparable to the "thief king" who is one of the best Qinggong in the world.

This kind of thing should be written by the shopkeeper using her common sense. In her eyes, this may be a "normal" speed, but sometimes the shopkeeper does not realize how terrible her common sense is.

Chu Changzui shook his head. While writing, he secretly sighed in his heart that he accidentally knew another trump card of the shopkeeper today.

So many people are still guessing how the shopkeeper could get to the Forbidden City, and now, Chu Changzui has actually mastered the shopkeeper's level of Qinggong.

As the saying goes, people often accidentally reveal something without realizing it, and a smart person like the shopkeeper is sometimes not immune to accidents.

Learn, it's too deep, learning is endless.

Li Qi looked at the drizzle outside the window, and was also thinking about what happened in the past two days.

The people outside the Jianghu may not know what happened in the inn, but they must know that the court and the shopkeeper have reached a tacit understanding, so they have fallen into collective silence in the past few days.

In the minds of the Jianghu people, this is probably the first time that the court has reached a tacit understanding with a Jianghu person.

You know, the young emperor of the dynasty was not a weak person. He had been extremely brutal to those who were too arrogant and conceited, and forcibly suppressed the lawless people of the Jianghu during the reign of the old emperor.

And this time, the court actually compromised in disguise.

This shows that this shopkeeper from the Western Regions... may have terrible strength and power that ordinary people can't imagine.

After all, the Jianghu people may not have seen other things, but it is true that the shopkeeper brought back a big package that day.

If the Jianghu people were angry about the shopkeeper killing the Huashan Sect shopkeeper and "Chu Changzui" last time, then this time, the Jianghu was dead and quiet.

Of course, sometimes silence doesn't necessarily mean something good, because it often means that a bigger storm is brewing behind the scenes.

There must be many sects in the martial arts world who regard the shopkeeper as a thorn in their side, and this must include the most powerful sects in the martial arts world.

Li Qi closed the window to block out the wind and rain outside.

Feng Qing used to joke that he was doing a malatang business in the store, but later Feng Qing found that this idea was not very reliable.

The reason is very simple. In ancient times, materials were too scarce, and it was a bit of a loss to make malatang.

However, the business in the store has always been good. At least there are many diners. Several gourmets nearby like to come here to eat, and each of them praises the food in the store.

Li Qi is quite good at his cooking skills. He spent the first twenty years of his life killing people. Even though his cooking skills are good, they are far from being that amazing.

The main reason is that the shopkeeper doesn't care much about the cost and only pursues not losing money. Therefore, Li Qi uses more ingredients. The same price can buy a chicken in Feng Qing's store, but in other stores, you may only buy half a chicken.

There is another point... Li Qi found that the shopkeeper is also one of the best masters in the use of medicine.

In fact, few people in the world can realize this, because in their minds, the shopkeeper is probably just a martial artist.

But Li Qi has discovered this secret.

The place he discovered is actually... in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, there are always a few small jars, which look nothing special. If an outsider comes in, he might miss them.

But Li Qi knows that the secret of his cooking lies in these jars.

High-end swordsmen often only need the simplest cooking skills. Among these jars, Li Qi's favorite is a small jar with simple yellow granules.

The shopkeeper once patiently explained to him how to make these seemingly ordinary yellow granules.

- Use hundreds of chickens, boil them for a day and a night, get chicken soup, then add some mysterious herbs to blend, and then get such a small jar of yellow granules from the chicken soup.

The thing made in this extravagant and exaggerated way is called "chicken essence".

When Li Qi heard this explanation, his hands trembled slightly, and he almost spilled half a jar of salt into the pot.

From then on, Li Qi was very careful when adding the yellow granules, but the shopkeeper was very indifferent to this kind of thing.

When Li Qi was about to add chicken essence by the number of granules, she directly carried a large bag over, and then filled the jar with it, saying as she added: "Why is this chicken essence used up so slowly? It will expire if it is not used up. Add more."

In short, this incident shocked Li Qi deeply.

He later became a little numb, and started to use chicken essence recklessly, as well as a series of strange seasonings in the kitchen.

Perhaps because the shock brought by the chicken essence was too strong, Li Qi never dared to ask how the remaining seasonings were made.

But this incident gave Li Qi a lot of inspiration.

He began to think that the shopkeeper might not only be highly skilled in martial arts, but also have deep insights in medicine.

Why did Li Qi think so?

Because whether it was the "Six Spirits" that he had accidentally discovered in the inn, or the "Chicken Essence", they were more or less more like things that only some doctors would invent, although the former was poison and the latter was food, but since ancient times, medicine and poison have been inseparable, and medicine and food have also been inseparable.

But Li Qi was not very clear about the depth of the shopkeeper's knowledge in medicine.

He actually... wanted to find an opportunity to see.

Feng Qing drank a sip of Coke upstairs. She was not without worries when she came back this time.

Her mother, a square dance god who is addicted to Douyin and Kuaishou, has been urging Feng Qing to shoot some short videos for her recently, on the grounds that Feng Qing works in Hengdian, which is simply a perfect place to shoot short videos.

Feng Qing was embarrassed to say that she almost never used Douyin and Kuaishou, and was addicted to reading novels, browsing forums, and watching old TV series from 800 years ago every day, but she couldn't refuse her mother's request, so she bought a selfie stick, downloaded Douyin, and prepared to find out how to use this thing first.

She accidentally pressed the selfie button, and was shocked by herself on the screen.

Oh my god, it is worthy of the legendary Douyin filter.

This pointed chin, this high nose, these big eyes, and this skin smoothing.

Feng Qing, a native turtle who discovered the new continent for the first time, stared at the screen for a long time with great pleasure, and then slowly put down her phone.

No, wait a minute, no wonder people say that if you watch Douyin too much, you will really think that there are beauties everywhere on the street. It is easy to have some misunderstanding about your true appearance if you watch this thing too much.

Feng Qing looked around the house. Where can she find a good place?

The middle of the lobby seems to be a good place. When all the guests leave one day, she will set up the selfie stick, and then put the tables and chairs in place, and start to twist around in the middle, taking a random photo to get by.

So where should I set up the selfie stick?

Feng Qing looked around and found a perfect place.

- In front of a small window.

This small window is usually in a corner, and is one of the few that will never be opened. The area in front of it is even more of a life-or-death corner, but who knew it would actually play a role today.

Feng Qing suddenly realized that this place was quite suitable for a selfie stick. So

she set up the selfie stick there.

Okay, I'll do it when I'm in the mood. Feng Qing clapped her hands, feeling that she had accomplished a big task.

And as everyone knows, for someone like Feng Qing, what she calls "being in the mood" is likely to be a long time in the future.

She clapped her hands, and when she was about to go upstairs to eat something, she suddenly heard Li Qi coming over.

"Shopkeeper." Li Qi hesitated, holding a bag of things in his hand.

"I found this when I was cleaning the kitchen today."

Feng Qing glanced at the thing in Li Qi's hand, and her expression suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

"Ah, why is this thing here..."

Li Qi was holding a red and white bag in his hand. This thing had a resounding name - Maltesers.

Feng Qing took the bag and looked at the production date. It was still two months away from the expiration date.

Fortunately, fortunately.

She casually poured a piece from it and threw it into her mouth, chewed it, and then casually poured two more out of it and stuffed them into Li Qi's mouth without saying anything.

Seeing Li Qi's surprised expression, Feng Qing smiled and said, "Is it delicious?"

Li Qi's eyes widened. Feng Qing thought he was frightened by her sudden attack. After all, Li Qi didn't look like someone who liked sweets. Her sneak attack was indeed a bit scary.

But Feng Qing thought that Li Qi was quite cute with her eyes wide open and cheeks puffed out.

While Feng Qing was chewing the Maltesers, she wondered how on earth did this thing end up in the kitchen?

Ah...

Feng Qing remembered.

She clenched her left fist and knocked on her right hand.

Isn't this the bag of Maltesers that the crew had asked her to buy halfway through filming?

No wonder this thing was thrown in the kitchen.
