Seen Nothing Like This Chapter 10

Although he relied on his extraordinary will to get through it, Nai Hexiang still caused damage to his body, especially Julian Cui, who was already in poor health. This made it worse. When he got up the next day, he touched his forehead and knew that he had a fever again.

Slowly exhaling a hot breath, Julian Cui has long been accustomed to this feeling, but it does not mean that he will like or enjoy it.

No one wants to be in pain forever, but since there is no way to get rid of it, you can only get used to it.

There was a set of clean clothes and a thick cloak by the bedside. Cedric Pei should have asked someone to bring them over. Sterling Feng could not interfere with such a trivial matter. Julian Cui put them on without ceremony and wrapped himself tightly. Yan Shishi, after washing up with the water already prepared in the wing room, Shi Shiran stepped out of the bedroom.

Sterling Feng waited impatiently outside and asked Cedric Pei to come in to urge him.

Cedric Pei originally thought Julian Cui was too procrastinating, but when he saw that the other party's face was even paler than yesterday, and when he put his fist to his lips and coughed, he felt a little embarrassed, and his voice became a little gentler.

"Guanzhu Cui, are your clothes suitable?"

"Just right, thank you."

Cedric Pei said with a smile: "Today's breakfast is not served in the house. Lang Jun said, let us eat outside."

Julian Cui: "It's not easy. I wake up and finally look forward to a sumptuous meal."

Cedric Pei smiled awkwardly: "You just woke up yesterday, so you can't eat too much greasy food."

Cui Bugo took a look and knew that this man was not even half as shameless as Sterling Feng.

He nodded calmly and stopped embarrassing the other party.

When Sterling Feng saw the two of them finally coming out, she couldn't help but clicked her tongue: "Put on some clothes and wait like a young lady getting into a sedan chair!"

Others' faces turn red when they have a fever, but Julian Cui's face turns pale. Wrapped in a white cloak, he stands in the snow, so calm that he almost blends into one.

Julian Cui said calmly: "My master is mean. He poisoned me and refused to give me food. What can I do?"

Sterling Feng seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile: "Then you are in for a treat today. There is a new restaurant in the city, and Ms. Hong is the chef. You have lived in Liugong City for two months. You must have heard of it." It's her name."

Julian Cui: "Mrs. Hong from Hong's Pancakes?"

Sterling Feng: "Exactly."

This Hong's Pancake is a well-known pancake stall in the city. It is run by Hong's father and daughter. What is rare is that the father and daughter are very good at cooking. They have a sign for pancakes, but they make... The city is famous for its delicious food. It is said that even merchants from Qiemo City make a special trip to try it.

Julian Cui also ate there once, and it tasted really good. The noodle soup was made from bone broth. The noodles were as thin as silver threads. After they were taken out of the water, they were added to the broth, and then topped with a spoonful of Hong's special braised pork. Braised sauce, sprinkled with a layer of chopped green onion, and a bowl of silver braised pork noodles. Even in the cold weather, the whole body feels comfortable, no less than the chefs in the capital.

However, Hong's father passed away some time ago, leaving Mrs. Hong alone. Others were talking about it. They said that women are fragile and can't stand alone. I'm afraid that Hong's pancakes won't be able to continue. There is a high probability that Mrs. Hong will be taken as a Elise by a wealthy family. From then on, it was hard to taste this delicious food.

But to everyone's surprise, Mrs. Hong suddenly changed her mind. Instead of going back to the days when food came to eat, she was invited to be a chef.

Because of the Linlang Pavilion auction, people with swords and swords can be seen everywhere on the streets. Ordinary people avoid them for fear of being caught, but Sterling Feng turns a blind eye and takes Julian Cui and Cedric Pei through the streets to eat. Si walked away.

A chivalrous person uses force to break the law. Anyone with skills is often a little arrogant, and these people in the world are no exception. After all, there are very few high-minded people, and those who go out are more arrogant young people.

Some of these people are in groups. Although they do not have uniform clothes, the jade pendants on their waists and the scabbards on their backs are the same. They are usually from a famous sect; some people are alone, with indifferent expressions, or facial expressions. Those who are aggressive, generally do not have a good temper; there are also men and women walking together, talking and laughing, the woman has a cheerful and confident face, and walks briskly, these are generally the juniors who came from a certain martial arts family to experience.

Cui Buqi's gaze passed over them without leaving a trace. With just one glance, he could basically judge the origin and general temperament of each other.

"Don't forget why I brought you out, Guanzhu Cui, it's time for me to see what you can do."

Hearing Sterling Feng's words, Julian Cui couldn't help but want to roll his eyes again. "I haven't eaten breakfast yet, so I don't have the energy to speak."

Sterling Feng chuckled: "If you cooperate obediently, I will solve the case earlier and you will be freed earlier. Is it interesting to start a verbal war with me now?"

Julian Cui said coldly: "If I remember correctly, what you said yesterday was that if I was willing to cooperate, you would consider helping me detoxify, not that you would definitely help me detoxify. I suffered from the poison yesterday and was unable to refute. If it's so ambiguous, do you still want me to cooperate fully?"

Sterling Feng took out two finger-thick porcelain bottles from his sleeves and handed them to him.

"Give you a chance. One of these two bottles is empty, and the other contains an antidote. It will allow you to be free from Nai He Xiang for three days. It's up to you to choose right or wrong. But don't say I'm going to treat you again." You're not good."

Julian Cui now felt that his heart was burning, as if someone had lit a fire that was about to burn, and the dull pain was unbearable. Even the bone marrow was affected, as if there were thousands of invisible hands scratching and picking at him. It was numb and itchy, and he knew in his heart that it was the lingering poison that was raging. Although the lingering poison was not as uncomfortable as the poison, it was enough to make people restless.

But he didn't pick the two bottles, didn't even look at them, just pursed his lips and continued walking forward.

Sterling Feng groaned: "Why is this person so stubborn? His good intentions are regarded as nothing!"

Julian Cui sneered and said nothing.

If he didn't detoxify completely, the temporary relief would be to drink poison to quench his thirst. Sterling Feng had no good intentions, she clearly wanted to wait for him to become unbearable before talking to him again.

Seeing that the other party refused to be fooled, Sterling Feng shrugged and put the bottle back.

Sure enough, there is a new restaurant not far away. Wangzi has written the word "Five Flavors" on it. There are people in front of the door, and it seems to be quite lively.

Cedric Pei had already reserved a seat. When he went there, he reported his name and didn't have to queue like others. A waiter immediately welcomed them into the inner seating area.

The place doesn't look big from the outside, but it's a wonder inside. Cedric Pei and the others followed the waiter through the winding corridor, only to realize that the restaurant had purchased several surrounding rooms and opened them up, dividing them into two parts: the lobby and the private rooms. The elegant room suddenly became much quieter, and the surrounding flowers and trees were very interesting.

"The owner of this restaurant has a good background, and he spends a lot of money here. Is it the work of the Boling Cui family or the Longxi Li family?" Cedric Pei clicked his tongue in surprise.

Liugong City was originally a small border town. No matter how prosperous it was, it could not compare to the capital city. Most of the merchants who came and went stopped for a few days, exchanged supplies, then turned around and went their separate ways. If it hadn't been for this year's Linlang Pavilion auction, it would definitely not be so lively. It would be like this here. In Cedric Pei's opinion, large restaurants will probably lose money.

The waiter turned around and said with a smile, "Then you guessed wrong. It's not the Li family or the Cui family. Our boss is a local. He has been busy for most of his life and has only one mouthful of food in his life. He specially invited Mrs. Hong here. Master, you guys are in for a treat today. I heard that Mrs. Hong has tried a lot of new dishes!"

He introduced the three of them into the private room. There were four tables in the hall. A pair of well-dressed young men and women were sitting at one of the tables, with maids and servants standing behind them.

Although we didn't have the entire hall to ourselves, the four tables were not right next to each other and there was a wide distance between them, so it didn't feel cramped.

Sterling Feng ordered the dishes, but within a moment, the dishes were served one after another. Although there was definitely more than just Mrs. Hong in the kitchen, her fast and neat style was evident.

"Silver braised noodles, hoof flower soup, hibiscus vegetable soup, Hong's pancakes, you can choose what you can eat. Don't say I'm being mean to you, am I good enough to you this time?" He I ordered the dishes with chopsticks and ordered three bowls of lotus seed soup.

Now is not the season for lotus seeds, and Liugong City is not a place rich in lotus seeds. These lotus seeds are transported thousands of miles from the south, dried and preserved for the entire winter. The value of these three bowls of lotus seed soup is probably more than this meal. All meals combined are expensive.

For the sake of this bowl of lotus seed soup, Julian Cui finally said: "The girl's surname is Lu. She was born into a wealthy local family. It is said that her ancestors were related to the Lu family of Fan Yang, but they have no contact with each other long ago. The name of Lu's father is Lu Ti, whose main business is an antique pawn shop, is said to have opened a branch in Jiangnan. He is the richest man in Liugong City and has great business skills. "

His voice was neither high nor low, just enough for Sterling Feng and Cedric Pei to hear, but it couldn't reach there.

Sterling Feng was very satisfied with his knowledge. It was rare that the two of them did not argue with each other in a tense manner, but talked calmly.

"What about that man? He's also from the Lu family?"

Julian Cui shook his head: "The man's surname is Su, and his single name is Xing. He is Lu's cousin. His parents died a few years ago and his family fell into decline. He came to join his cousin's family. Lu Ti funded his studies and is said to be interested in recruiting him." As a son-in-law, if nothing happens, the two will get married in the next two years. Lu Ti has no children, and the one who will inherit the family business in the future will be Su Xing. "

Sterling Feng: "Then this Five Flavors Restaurant is also opened by Lu Ti?"

Julian Cui said calmly: "That's not clear. After all, I was detained for several days. During this period, I may have missed a lot of news."

When he got the chance, he stabbed the other person. The latter pretended not to notice, picked up a piece of scone, broke off a small piece with his hand and put it into his mouth. While eating, he said: "This cake tastes really good, but it's just too chewy for your teeth." Okay, people who are just recovering from a serious illness and are poisoned can't eat it even if they want to. Why don't you come and try some?"

Julian Cui:...

Cedric Pei almost laughed out loud and quickly turned his head to the side.

Then he saw the young man at the next table pick up a piece of plain goose, put it into the bowl of the girl next to him, and said softly: "Miao Miao, don't you like this dish? Come on, eat more."

"Thank you, cousin." The girl's voice did not hide her joy.

Nowadays, the folk customs are quite open, especially in the north. If unmarried men and women are accompanied by family members and in public, even if they are intimate, there is nothing to criticize. Just as Cedric Pei was about to turn his eyes, he heard Sterling Feng talking to Cui Don't speak loudly.

"Go, don't you like this dish? Come on, eat more!"

Cedric Pei almost spit out the pancake before he could swallow it.

But the one who suffered more than him was Julian Cui. The latter's hand that had just raised the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables suddenly stopped, and the corners of his mouth twisted and twitched, causing his pale and handsome face to look hideous.

The young man at the next table naturally heard that Sterling Feng was deliberately imitating him, and an angry look appeared on his face.

"You and I are strangers to each other. Why are you deliberately provocative?"
