Chapter 511 Absolutely not【Ask for a monthly pass! 】

   After looking around to see the general situation, Chu Liang left first. Jiang Yuebai and the others were still waiting for him outside. Since the knife couldn't be found for a while, the meal must be out of reach, and he didn't need to stay here to cause trouble.

   Before leaving, Chen Yinguan pulled Chu Liang and told him: "Chef Xue just said that he has some concerns. I hope that the loss of a famous knife will not be spread."

  He roughly explained that Xue Yipin was worried that the knife would never be found, which would affect the business of famous chefs all over the world.

  Even if there is no treasure knife, the dishes still have to be done.

But this knife is more or less a signboard of famous chefs in the world. It is like this in many cases. If you don’t say that the knife has been changed, many people will not feel that the dishes have changed; Some people will feel that the dishes have changed.

   What Ming Chef Xue meant was that the Jian Guo Mansion would naturally try its best to find it, but if they couldn’t find it, they could just let the knife be quietly thrown away.

  Chu Liang nodded to express his understanding, and then walked out the door.

   The Shushan people waiting downstairs naturally asked what happened, Chu Liang just sighed: "There is a conspiracy, we have to go to another place to eat."

  Jiang Yuebai was a little disappointed, but fortunately, there were many alternatives in the small book, so they went straight to the inner city and traveled all the way to the root of the imperial city.

  There is a two-story building here that is not very eye-catching. The facade and plaque are not big, but the words on it are very grand: "Huangcheng Restaurant".

  The restaurant here is a place where the royal chefs in the palace earn extra money. There are always more than a dozen royal chefs on duty in the imperial city on weekdays, ready for orders at any time. But when there is no banquet in the royal family, two chefs are enough to buy a table of dishes, and most of the rest are idle.

  The big guys discussed opening a restaurant outside the imperial city, and the chefs who had spare time came out to practice their skills. It is also close to here, if there is a sudden banquet in the palace, there is still time to rush back.

  Because of the reputation of the imperial chef, the business of this Imperial City restaurant is still full day by day. The imperial chefs are too busy, so they have to raise the price repeatedly, which stops most of the guests from filling the door. When the emperor knew about it, he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, not caring about the behavior of the cooks making extra money in private.

  They came at the time of meal time, and they had to wait for a while before the room became vacant.

  The wing room here is simple and elegant, looking quite plain. But when the menu is opened, it is not simple at all.

  Ling Ao remained silent, Xu Ziyang also frowned, and Jiang Yuebai said lightly: "It's so expensive."

   "It's rare to come here once, just order casually." Chu Liang smiled.

  He looked at the high-quality dishes above, and randomly selected seven or eight that looked good. Naturally, there is no such a good enjoyment on Shushan Mountain. It is not a big deal to come out once, and it doesn't matter if you are extravagant.

  Ling Ao said with emotion: "The price of this meal is too exaggerated..."

   "Don't worry, I'll pay the bill." Chu Liang smiled.

   "You are getting richer and richer." Ling Ao said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to make friends with you after a while."

  Chu Liang replied with a smile: "I never make friends based on whether I have money..."

   This luxurious dinner, of course, is very happy to eat. The four tasted these famous palace dishes one by one, and the taste was really amazing.

  During the dinner, Xu Ziyang suddenly said: "Master should also come. My master is usually simple and frugal. He saved all the resources to support his brothers. He must have never eaten these."

  Chu Liang looked at this good apprentice who was always thinking about his master, and suddenly thought of Emperor Feng.

   Fortunately, she doesn't have to worry about it herself.

  Master has always been extravagant, and wished to spend all the resources of Quanfeng's next life on a feast. These must have been enjoyed.

  He waved his hand, and called the servant again, "Make another serving of these dishes, and let's take back a copy for Mr. Wang."

   "This..." Xu Ziyang seemed to want to say something.

  Chu Liang directly cast a reassuring look.

  With his current net worth, he can eat and drink endlessly. As long as he doesn't mess around with investment, he can't even talk about squandering.

  Satisfied with food and drink, the four of them prepared to go out of the city contentedly and return to Diqiu's residence.

  Chu Liang glanced back, and suddenly said: "You guys go back first, I'll go to that Junior Brother Liu during the day, and ask him something."

   "Ask what?" Jiang Yuebai asked curiously.

   "Let's talk later." Chu Liang smiled mysteriously.

  The other three were a little strange, but seeing Chu Liang's reluctance to elaborate, they also left first.

  …

  Just now in the knife box of the famous chef in the world, Chu Liang smelled a faint aroma of powder and felt quite familiar. Thinking about it for a while, it was clearly the kind that I smelled on Liu Yunzheng during the day.

   The taste is a bit unique, and it should not be seen everywhere.

   We talked during the day, Liu Yunzheng's father was a general who patrolled the city, so he lived not far from the imperial city, so he found it after a little inquiring. He immediately went to the door and reported his name.

   Not long after, Liu Yunzheng came out in a hurry.

   "Senior Brother Chu!" He came out of the mansion quickly, took Chu Liang in personally, and at the same time told the concierge at home: "Senior Brother Chu can come in directly next time, there is no need to notify."

   "Junior Brother Liu, you are being polite." Chu Liang smiled.

   Liu Yunzheng's complexion looks much better now, and with the help of the healing medicine, all the damage to the meridians has been filled. In this way, tomorrow's competition should not be affected much.

  So he is also full of gratitude to Chu Liang.

"I came to see Junior Brother Liu because I wanted to inquire about something." Chu Liang asked, "I smelled a rather unique fragrance on you during the day, and I was a little curious. I wanted to ask, but I got it from the Baihua Building. ?”

"Aroma?" Liu Yunzheng had finished grooming at this moment, so the smell naturally disappeared from his body. He recalled for a while before saying, "It's probably Yunshang's unique scent of powder. I haven't paid much attention to it, so let's talk about the scent on her body." Really unique…”

   "Is it unique to Miss Yunshang?" Chu Liang asked again.

   "Anyway, I haven't smelled it anywhere else." Liu Yunzheng was also a little puzzled why a big man in Chuliang was curious about the smell of incense powder.

   "Then besides you, will anyone else be contaminated?" Chu Liang asked again.

  Liu Yunzheng's expression was slightly serious, and he said: "Brother Chu, although Yunshang is a brothel girl, she has always kept herself clean, and she is only close to me."

   "I see." Chu Liang nodded.

   "She didn't want to become prostitutes, but her father was convicted and died when she was young, her mother was seriously ill, and now her younger brother still has to study..." Liu Yunzheng sighed.

   "It's really touching." Chu Liang agreed.

  Liu Yunzheng said again: "So if you, Senior Brother Chu, want to make an idea of ​​Yun Shang, you can give up this idea. The two of us have made an oath to each other, and it is absolutely impossible for her to agree to anyone else except me."

   "Don't worry about that, absolutely not." Chu Liang shook his head hastily.

  After chatting for a few more words, he got up and said goodbye, "Then don't disturb Junior Brother Liu's rest, you should keep your spirits up and strive for victory tomorrow."

   "Borrowing brother Chu's auspicious words." Liu Yunzheng sent him all the way out of the house before stopping.

  …

  Leaving the Liu Mansion, Chu Liang came to the Baihualou. Yudu City is brightly lit at night, and the long streets are like a river of stars. One of the buildings surrounded by flowers is extraordinarily magnificent.

   It is one of the famous brothels in the city, Baihualou.

  Across the building is a shop selling rouge and gouache, and there are many people queuing outside the door. This kind of shop is located opposite the brothel, and it is also the right place to find.

As soon as Chu Liangfu stepped in, he saw the singing and dancing in the hall. Immediately, an old bustard greeted him, "Hey, this young man is a stranger. It's the first time to visit my house? What kind of girl do you like? Let me introduce you to two girls." indivual?"

   "I'm here to find Miss Yunshang." Chu Liang said bluntly.

   "Yunshang?" The old bustard smiled, "She's one of the top names in our store, so it's easy not to..."

  Chu Liang raised his hand and threw a bag over as a reward.

  The bustard took it in his hand, opened it, and found that it was filled with Lingshi coins, which are much more valuable than gold and silver, and it is not difficult to exchange them in Yudu City.

  Her smile was as bright as a wild chrysanthemum: "Miss Yunshang is idle now, I will take you there."

  Send Chu Liang to a room on the third floor all the way, she went in and muttered for a while, and then came out with a smile on her face, "Miss Yunshang is waiting for you inside, please come in quickly, my lord."

  Chu Liang walked into the room, and saw a weak and gentle woman sitting at the table in front of the screen, indeed she had a rather pitiful appearance.

   "I heard that the young master is here for the first time, how do you know the name of the slave's family?" Yun Shang asked softly.

   "A friend's introduction." Chu Liang didn't talk nonsense, and sat down directly, ready to start the topic.

   This answer made Yun Shang's expression puzzled.

   Then Chu Liang asked again: "The fragrance on the girl is very unique, where did you buy the powder?"

   "Master's nose is so good." Yun Shang smiled and said, "This incense powder is specially made by the master of the incense powder at Xirenfang opposite to the slave family. Only the slave family has this smell."

   "Is that so..." Chu Liang glanced at the direction across the street, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "The cost is not low."

   "We did this just to please the young master, so naturally we have to decorate ourselves carefully." Yun Shang said leisurely.

   "The girl Yunshang is doing this, how many friends do you have now?" Chu Liang asked suddenly.

   "Huh?" Yun Chang was taken aback, then turned to smile again, "Master, you are joking, we and the guests are just chatting elegantly, why are we so good..."

  Chu Liang directly put a heavy bag on the table.

  Yun Chang opened it and took a look. The change in expression was exactly the same as that of the bustard just now, and the eyes that looked at Chu Liang were immediately friendly.

"There are only three slaves in total." Yun Shang replied: "The first one is young and ignorant, a little ignorant, and was deceived by others; the second one is passionate, but after all, the personality is inconsistent, and the third...is you, son. , I hope it is..."

Okay.

  Memorized the standard answer, right?

  Chu Liang didn't say much, and handed out another bag, "Please tell the truth, girl."

  Yun Shang looked at it, fell silent for a while, and quickly replied: "Seventeen."

   "Then who came to your place last night?" Chu Liang handed out another bag.

  Three bags of heavy Lingshi coins were placed on the table, which completely convinced Miss Yunshang of this good friend.

  She immediately replied: "Last night there was only Zhao Tietou from Zhujianmen."
