Early the next morning, Liu Yi finished tidying up and said hello to Cheng Chongdou, then walked to the Zhongjiang Medical Center in the west of the city. The medical center was not open yet. Ruan Xing must have been resting too. Liu Yi suddenly felt hungry, so he thought

Have breakfast first, and then go visit Ruan Xing.

Just when he was thinking about what to eat, he smelled a burst of aroma coming from the street corner behind the medical center. It smelled like meat buns but not exactly. He followed the smell like a hungry wolf looking for food and walked over.

, before reaching the corner of the street, I could hear the faint sound of people. It seems that there are many early eaters not only in later generations, but also in the Ming Dynasty. Foodies are indeed a species that exists in every dynasty and every generation.

I took a few hurried steps and turned around. Wow! There was a mist steaming in front of me, and there was a long queue looming in the mist. When I took a closer look, I saw a room as soon as I entered, with three or four long tables in it, with people sitting on both sides of the long table.

It was full of diners, and there were still many people waiting in line at the entrance of the store. The boss set up a shed outside the store and set up a simple stove with firewood in it.

The fire is still crackling. There is a large pot on top, and most of the water in the pot has been boiled. There is a three-hole iron plate on top, with five small steamers placed on each hole. The white steam mixed with the fragrance makes people salivate.

.Looking up, there was a plaque on the shop with a few big characters written in a flying phoenix, "Gourmet soup dumplings", and the signature was "Huizhou Merchants Association".

Liu Yi looked at it and saw that it turned out to be Xiao Long Bao. Although he was not from Jiangnan in later generations, he had been to Kaifeng and had tasted the Xiao Long Bao in Kaifeng. Since this shop was named after the Huizhou Merchants Association, it has a rich and strong flavor.

, it must be pretty good.

Looking at the price on the sign at the door of the store, he could buy a basket for only fifteen cents. After queuing for a while, he paid for two baskets of steamed buns. There was vinegar on the table, so he poured some into the vinegar dish.

Then I opened the lid, and the hot steam hit my face. I saw that the steamed buns were crystal clear, with thin skin and large fillings. The thick soup inside could be seen through the skin.

He picked one up with chopsticks, bit it in one bite, and grinned because it was so hot. A middle-aged man in his thirties next to him saw his appearance and laughed and said, "I'm afraid I'm a foreigner, little brother."

"Brother, I am indeed not from Wuhu."

"Well, I can tell from the accent. He must be from the North. He must have been burned by the soup. The Xiaolongbao in Wuhu is about opening the window first and then drinking the soup. Look." As he spoke, he started to demonstrate, gently.

Take a small bite along the edge of the bun skin, then blow into the hole to dissipate some of the heat from the soup inside, and blow it into your mouth

Make a swipe sound to suck up the soup inside, then put the buns in a vinegar dish and dip them in the vinegar juice. Some vinegar will be left inside the buns along the cracks, so that the stuffing of the buns will be slightly cooled down, and then you can eat the buns in one bite.

Put it in your mouth, chew it for a while, and swallow it with satisfaction. "How is it, little brother, have you learned it?"

"Thanks for the advice, brother." Liu Yi followed his example and drank the smooth soup into his mouth. The taste was delicious. After dipping it in vinegar and eating it in one bite, it left a fragrant aroma on the lips and teeth, leaving endless aftertaste.

The middle-aged man looked at Liu Yi's intoxicated look and laughed: "It seems that this is the first time for me to taste the soup dumplings from Wuhu. There are three words for Wuhu's soup dumplings: sweet, salty and fresh. You can feel the slightly sweet soup in your mouth."

It tastes bad, but it’s due to the addition of rock sugar to the soup of pork rind jelly. Eat the bun

I feel a bit salty, but it is the taste of the meat filling made from carefully selected pork leg meat. After swallowing it, I will have an endless aftertaste. My mouth is full of delicious flavor, but it is made of fine flour.

It's because the bun skin locks the delicious food inside." The middle-aged man explained in detail.

After listening to this, Liu Yi suddenly realized that making delicious food is also a careful process. Such delicious Xiaolongbao is so delicious that he never gets tired of it. He will come back to eat it tomorrow morning. Thinking like this, he swept away the two steamed buns.

.

Because of Liu Yi's favor, this steamed stuffed bun shop became the largest Xiaolong Tangbao restaurant in the Jiangnan area many years later. Liu Yi changed its name to Lai Yinong, which means you'll want to come again after eating it. Of course, this will happen in the future.

After finishing the buns, it was getting late. Ruan Xing rushed to the hospital after paying the money. He happened to see Wang Chumin standing at the door. Liu Yi saluted him and asked: "Mr. Wang, how is Ruan Xing doing now.

"Wang Chumin also admired Liu Yi very much. He had never encountered such a strange thing for many years of practicing medicine, so he treated Liu Yi as "Little Master Liu". When Liu Yi asked

He also raised his hands and replied: "Yesterday, Ruan Xing was restored by Master Xiao Liu. After some treatment by me last night, he has improved greatly. I have asked him to take the prepared elixir this morning. This medicine contains a variety of

The precious herbs, combined with a Liaodong mountain ginseng treasured in the store, have the effect of strengthening the body and replenishing qi, relaxing the meridians and activating the meridians. Taking it for a few days will definitely restore you to your original state."

"That's good, can I go in and have a look?" Liu Yi asked. "Of course, please come in." Wang Chumin made an inviting gesture.

Liu Yi came to the inner room, opened the door, and saw Ruan Xing with a towel on his head, lying upright on the bed, his eyes closed. Liu Yi walked to the bed and shouted: "Stop pretending to be dead, get up quickly."

Ruan Xing blinked when he heard this, jumped up from the bed and said with a smile: "Haha, Mr. Wang said yesterday that you would come this morning. Didn't I want to scare you?"

Liu Yi said angrily: "I can save you. Of course I know that your heart and Qi meridians are just blocked by the river water. You will be fine after being rescued and nursed back to health in a few days. So of course what you did just now is pretending to be dead."

"Hahahaha, it's Brother Liu who knows me." Ruan Xing said as he got up.

Liu Yi walked to the table and just sat down to take a sip of tea, but Ruan Xing strode up to Liu Yi, straightened his clothes in a serious manner, then saluted Liu Yi and said: "Brother Liu's life-saving grace is like reincarnation.

Mr. Ruan is unforgettable, and if there is any use for Mr. Ruan in the future, I will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire without hesitation."

Seeing that he was so serious and didn't get up, Liu Yi suddenly had an idea in his mind and asked Ruan Xing: "Ruan Xing, I'm asking you seriously, if I want to do something big in the future, and you inherit your father's family business,

, if I need your help, would you be willing to lend me a helping hand?"

"May I ask what the big deal is?" Ruan Xing asked tentatively. "Don't worry, it must be a good thing that benefits the country and the people. It will definitely not be something sneaky and illegal." Liu Yi replied affirmatively.

Ruan Xing said without hesitation: "In this case, I, Ruan Xing, swear to God that if one day Liu Yi needs my help, I will definitely provide money and strength. There will be no words, if I violate this oath, the sky will strike like thunder."

!”

"Okay, as long as you say this. In addition, I asked your father for something last night." He then told Ruan Xing what he told Ruan Hui last night about buying shares, and then said: "I have two

I've pledged all the ten thousand taels to your family. When you become the proprietor, you have to help me take care of it. If I lose money, I'll ask you to have a heart-to-heart talk with my big gun."

"Don't worry, I won't lose you even if I pay for it out of my own pocket. How can you be so money-obsessed when you are younger than me?" "You don't know a damn thing!" Liu Yi scolded.

After visiting Ruan Xing, Liu Yi immediately rushed back to the martial arts arena, where Cheng Chongdou was waiting for him. After talking to him for a while, Cheng Chongdou looked at the sky and said to Liu Yi: "Let's go to the teacher's house in the suburbs.

Well, you haven’t graduated yet

, but with your talent, the ten years estimated at the beginning to become a teacher will probably be greatly shortened. As long as you practice diligently, you will be able to master your current level in three to five years. By then, you will have fulfilled your wish to become a teacher.

You can retire and return home."

Cheng Chongdou looked a little sad, but Liu Yi said: "Why did the master say these depressing words? The master will always be strong. Don't you hear that the old man is ambitious for a thousand miles? In the Warring States Period, there was a story about how an honest man could still make a living. How can the master be discouraged?

I have prepared a gift for the master and asked the master to see it." Then he took Cheng Chongdou to the stable.

There were two young men standing at the door of the stable. One was leading out Liu Yi's flying dragon colt, and the other was holding the reins and leading a black horse. The master had told Dongzhu Ruan to give it away last night when his disciple borrowed the opportunity to borrow the hut.

The master has a good horse to travel with. No, Dongzhu Ruan promised to send a newly acquired war horse to the master. "I already received a heavy gift last night, why..."

"It doesn't matter, master, just accept it. The benefits I can give to Ruan Dongzhu from now on are beyond what a horse can equal." Liu Yi said carelessly. It became increasingly difficult for him to see clearly that this apprentice was Cheng Chongdou. He had magical powers.

There are too many places, it doesn’t look like one at all

An eleven or twelve-year-old child, I don’t know what kind of deal he had with Ruan Hui in private, but after what happened last night, Cheng Chongdou didn’t bother to ask. His disciple is also quite talented in managing finances, regardless of his

If you have any deal with Ruan Hui, just let him go.
