Chapter 0671 Rare Ingredients
As a chef, the four words "precious ingredients" are naturally attractive to Nie Ling'er.
Moreover, this is Tianhefang, and this statement is said from the shopkeeper of Tianhefang, and Nie Ling'er has no doubt that he is there!
Chuncha, who was standing beside him, frowned and attached himself to Nie Ling'er's ear and whispered: "Miss, it took us nearly a hundred taels of taels to buy this little thing. Wouldn't the expensive ingredients mentioned by the shopkeeper have to cost hundreds of taels?"
Unexpectedly, although the sound was small, it was heard by the shopkeeper Qian. The shopkeeper Qian was not annoyed, but instead said with a smile: "Scarce is precious, and since it is rare, it is naturally more expensive."
After the words came, Manager Qian couldn't help but look at Nie Ling'er: "What are you saying, Miss?"
Nie Ling'er had almost no thoughts. In Dazhao, she also saw many ingredients that she had never seen before, and thus developed many new dishes.
The shopkeeper was so confident that he thought that the ingredients he had never seen before.
But what Nie Ling'er is curious about...
"Why did the shopkeeper stop me just? I'm so sure I'll buy these expensive ingredients?" Nie Ling'er asked.
Manager Qian smiled and replied quietly: "I have observed it for a while before I dared to come forward and bother the girl!"
"Since the girl entered the store, I have been watching it. Although the guy in my store helped me to introduce it, I can see that the girl is very experienced in selecting ingredients and is very particular."
"The ordinary ingredients in my store are nearly 50% more expensive than those outside because of their high quality, so why are the expensive ingredients bought by girls?"
"Seeing that the girl paid the money without hesitation, I guessed that the girl must be a knowledgeable person, so I felt that the girl should have a destiny with these good things."
Manager Qian’s words are quite credible. No wonder he can do his business so vigorously with such eyesight.
Nie Ling'er raised her eyebrows lightly, and said without shyness, "Then I'll ask the shopkeeper Qian to take out these good things and show me. If they are really rare ingredients, I'll buy them!"
"The girl is indeed brave." Manager Qian smiled even more, but he lowered his head and said more mysteriously: "But please follow me to the inner room behind. The girl can see these things alone."
So mysterious? What exactly is it?
Nie Ling'er was even more suspicious, but she didn't think much about it and followed Manager Qian to the inner room behind.
After this man entered the inner room, the maid sent by Tong Zhiling could not go in. After thinking about it, he left first.
"Just just bought some ingredients?"
Tong Zhiling's face became slightly dark when she heard the maid's words.
The maid nodded: "Miss, this Tianhefang is a place to sell ingredients. The girl bought expensive ingredients, which is nearly a hundred taels."
Tong Zhiling sighed after thinking about it carefully, saying that after entering Tianhefang, he bought ingredients, so what else can he reveal?
"The girl behind was stopped by the shopkeeper. I listened carefully and said that there were more precious ingredients to sell to the girl. Then the girl followed the shopkeeper and the girl came out." The maid said again.
Tong Zhiling didn't guess what it was because the whole thing was very ordinary and there was nothing strange about it.
"Forget it, let's leave quickly, and waste my time in vain!" Tong Zhiling didn't want to think about it anymore, and urged her to set off quickly!
In the back room of Tianhefang, the shopkeeper closed the door before turning around and took out a few brocade boxes from the locked cabinet.
The few brocade boxes alone can tell that they are priceless, and Nie Ling'er couldn't help but be more curious about what was inside.
Manager Qian first looked at Nie Ling'er and showed a mysterious smile, and then opened the three brocade boxes one by one.
Nie Ling'er glanced and was stunned, because she really didn't recognize the things in the brocade box!
"This is……"
Nie Linger suddenly became interested. Perhaps because of her professional nature, she had a strong interest in fresh ingredients, and her favorite was to use new ingredients to develop new dishes.
"Girl, look at this box first!" Manager Qian pushed the brocade box on the left to Nie Ling'er.
The things in the brocade box were mountain delicacies that looked like ginseng, but there were at least dozens of ginseng ingredients that Nie Ling'er had seen, but she had never seen the one in front of her.
I heard from Manager Qian’s introduction: “This kind of food is produced in the thousand-year-old swamp jungle of the East Returning Kingdom. Does the girl look at it like ginseng growing underground?”
Nie Ling'er nodded slightly.
Manager Qian smiled and said, "In fact, this thing is not the case. This thing is grown in the mud underwater. It is a lotus root. Because it looks like ginseng, and ginseng is also known as immortality, so this ingredient also has a very atmospheric name, called [未分分分分分分]!"
Longevity lotus root?
It was the first time Nie Ling'er heard the name of this ingredient, and as a lotus root, this thing is too small.
"However, although it is a lotus root, the taste of the longevity lotus root is completely different from that of ordinary lotus roots. It has a unique aroma that other lotus roots do not have. Girls may as well smell it!"
Nie Ling'er was not polite either. She picked up one of them and put it in her breath and sniffed it gently. Sure enough, a refreshing fragrance poured into the tip of her nose with a sweet fragrance.
This immortal lotus root is sealed in the brocade box and is also a product of the country. Now it is not fresh in front of me, but it still has such a charming smell.
Seeing Nie Ling'er's slightly shocked reaction, Manager Qian knew that he had not found the wrong person.
A satisfied look was filled with his eyes and pushed the box in the middle to Nie Ling'er: "Miss, look at this again, the [Ziangbashi] of Fanyang Kingdom!"
It is said to be a flower, but it is actually a dried flower that has been dried. Due to excessive oxidation, the color is already very dark and looks ordinary.
"This is not from Dazhao either?" Nie Ling'er asked curiously.
Manager Qian chuckled: "If it were Dazhao's products, would Qian still boast about Haikou and say that it was hard to find other places?"
"This kind of food is born in the cracks of the cliffs of Fanyang Kingdom. People need to use tools to chisel the stone walls to remove the complete flowers, so they are named [Carrying Wall Flowers]."
This time Nie Ling'er picked it up and smelled it. The fragrance of flowers was everywhere, very clear, not as soft as the fragrance of ordinary flowers, like a snow lotus under the flames.
The smell of [Carrying Wall Flower] surprised Nie Ling'er even more. After all, she didn't expect that such a fragrance would be under such an ordinary appearance.
The last one is still a Gentile product, the [Deep Mountain Snow Fruit] from Fengxue Country, which is a green fruit all over the body.
"Shopkeeper, your three ingredients are interesting. The living environment is harsh and you have to risk your life to pick them."
This is a silt swamp, cliffs, and snowy place. The growth environment of this food alone can predict their expensiveness.
Manager Qian smiled and said, "That's why I said these are more precious and rare ingredients. In Dazhao, apart from my Tianhefang, the girl probably won't have the chance to see it!"
