Chapter 287 Benzoin

"No need to send it far away!"

When he arrived at the door, Li Mu said goodbye to Liu Shenwei who was sent out. Liu Shenwei bowed slightly and saluted, watched Li Mu get on the carriage, turned around and returned to Sun Simiao's study. Sun Simiao was still looking at the medicine list brought by Li Mu, his eyes were in abrupt, as if he was thinking.

Liu Shenwei took off the teacup, brewed a pot of new tea, and whispered: "Master, the disciple listened at the door. I thought about it and had to remind the master. The disciple felt that what Zhulu Hou said was probably not all true."

Sun Simiao put down the dan prescription, looked at his apprentice, smiled slightly, and said, "Such a lie with all kinds of loopholes cannot be hidden from your eyes. How can I hide it from my eyes? I often say that I am not capable of anything. I just live a little longer and have seen more people and things. Do you think I am humble? In fact, that's the case! In my life, I have seen so many people. What kind of temper and character does this person have? No matter what kind of temper, nature, you can guess it without any confrontation."

"You're welcome. No matter how scheming, no matter how scheming is, it's hard to lie in front of me. If I don't see it, I know that he is lying. But the medicine list he took out is true-" Sun Simiao looked at his apprentice and said, "What do you think of this matter?"

Liu Shenwei remained silent for a while and said, "The disciple felt that there might not be any down-and-out man at all. The pills and prescriptions were all from Li Mu. I just didn't know where he got them, but it was hard to ask, so it was really difficult to deal with."

"That's right!" Sun Simiao nodded and said, "It's not in vain that you have this experience for so many years. I can feel much more at ease when you and I separated from each other by the master and the apprentice this time."

Liu Shenwei was shocked and stepped forward to hold Sun Simiao's sleeve, knelt in front of him, and said, "Master! Are you going to drive your disciple away? What did the disciple do wrong? Please tell me, beg your master not to drive your disciple away, the disciple should follow your master—"

Sun Simiao patted Liu Shenwei's hand, pulled him up, and said, "You don't need to say these words. How can I not know your nature for so many years? It's just that there is no banquet that will last forever. Life is long, and you still have to walk your own path. If you are by my side, you will never be able to walk your own path. This is something that my teacher doesn't want to see."

"I don't know how many people have taught me in my life, and I feel at will. I feel destined to do so, so I will give you some advice..." Sun Simiao paused and said with a smile: "Talking about guidance is a bit stingy, just help, just help. I don't care about the name of master and apprentice, nor do I care about what the disciple can bring to me. Just like Yuan Tiangang, he has my help, and he is his fate. People who practice Taoism say the word "destiny".

"You and I can have a relationship between master and disciple. It is the fate between you and me. There must be an end. I will enter the palace to meet the queen tomorrow, and then I will not come back and go south to find medicine. Don't follow me, and don't be sad. Master doesn't hide it from you. A few days ago, I secretly told you a fortune. Your future will still be in this Chang'an City. Just stay here, and I will leave all the money given by Li Mu to you, and you will use it on the people, even if you are worthy of your master."

Liu Shenwei was still about to speak, but Sun Simiao waved his hand to stop him and said, "If you don't believe in your master's words, you can do it. But you are not allowed to leave Chang'an until a thousand taels of gold is used up. That's all the requirements of your master."

Seeing that Sun Simiao had made up his mind, Liu Shenwei knew that he could not change it, and shed tears silently.

Sun Simiao patted his shoulder and said, "Your qualifications are not excellent, but you have the kindness of a doctor. And unlike me, in my heart, cultivating immortals and attaining enlightenment is always the most important thing, and you are focused on it. I will leave you the letters from these years and think more about it. One day, your medical skills will surpass me, and that is the time when Master is most pleased."

Liu Shenwei cried and said, "Master, my disciple has no such ability. My disciple only hopes to follow my master and be in front of him and be in front of him and be at ease!"

"This is why Master wants to separate from you!"

Sun Simiao sighed again, waved his hand, and said, "Go, I want to meditate and rest for a while."

Liu Shenwei left with a thrust, Sun Simiao sighed, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

...

Li Mu didn't feel disappointed even though he had not been able to make a living. In addition to their master and apprentice, there was only one servant. No one seemed to cook, so there was anything good to eat. Why not come to the West Market, where there were all kinds of food. There were dozens of snacks alone. Not to mention one belly, ten belly was filled.

Speaking of which, there were days when I didn’t come to the West Market to eat. It was still early today, so Li Mu asked Dugu Jiu to drive to the West Market. The two brothers sent the carriage at the entrance of the city and walked into the West Market. They planned to take a walk and have some snacks, when will they be full and when will they go back?

While Li Mu was thinking about something to eat, a scent suddenly came. Li Mu followed the fragrance and passed three shops to a barbecue stall. The whole lamb was roasting here. The stall owner was two Hu people, with a ferocious look. Therefore, although the sheep were grilled with oil and looked very appetizing, no one came to visit them.

The two Hu people were a little anxious and wanted to reach out to attract customers. But neither of them could speak Chinese. They said it loudly in the room, and with their appearance, they seemed to be robbing, which scared people so far away that they dared not come close.

Li Mu is indeed not afraid, not because of his identity as a third-rank military marquis. But because Dugu Jiu, with Dugu Jiu by his side, not to mention these two Hu people, no matter how many more, he is not his opponent. Moreover, Li Mu can understand a few words of Hu people, but he just doesn't understand it thoroughly.

The two Hu people finally waited for the two guests who were not afraid of them, and were very happy. They were very enthusiastic. They said it in the room and gave them to the table. The table was very rough, and it was obvious that it was the work of an apprentice. Any carpenter could not put out a stool with four legs.

However, there are not so many places to choose between the market. Li Mu didn’t care about these people. He would come here to eat barbecue because he smelled the familiar smell. He traveled to the Tang Dynasty for so long that he finally saw cumin!

He couldn't understand the language, so he had to make a gesture. Li Mu pointed to the roasted whole sheep and made a gesture, meaning that I wanted all the sheep. But the two Hu people didn't understand, or they didn't dare to believe it. They were stunned for a long time and gestured for a long time before finally confirming that they had met a big customer, and they were laughing so hard that they kept bowing. However, they were Hu people and were very uncomfortable with the etiquette of the Han people. They were quite tempted to be like dogs, which made people laugh around them.

Li Mu hurriedly stopped them and signaled Dugu Jiu. Dugu Jiu took out a silver ingot from his arms, which was 10 taels and handed it to the Hu man who was the leader.

Now in Chang'an, the price of a sheep is about five stakes or more. If you pay ten stakes to buy a roasted sheep, it will be only a lot more or less even if you add labor costs. The two Hu people thanked each other for a jar of wine, and the other took out an exquisite machete, brushed it a few bits, and cut off the mutton like snowflakes and brought it to Li Mu and Dugu Jiu.

Li Mu was not in a hurry to eat it. He stared at the remaining cumin grains on the meat slices and frowned slightly.

This thing smells like cumin, but it looks a little different from cumin. Li Mu dared to make up this point. In his previous life, he would pass by a corner without street lights on the way home from the company. There would often be a "caravan" parked here to sell midnight snacks, including skewers and beer, as well as cold noodles. Passers-by often would visit the business.

Li Mu is a "kebab beer pie". He sneered at the cold noodles and never ate them. Every time he came home, he would encounter ten skewers of skewers and ten belly slices per bottle of beer. After getting familiar with the boss's wife, he would occasionally give him a big waist. When he saw him far away, he would shout, "Here's my brother...", which was very warm and friendly.

Because of his frequent eating, Li Mu is very knowledgeable about cumin. The thing in front of him tastes like cumin, but it is definitely not a variety he has seen.

Li Mu tried to eat two slices of meat, and the taste was not wrong, and it was more intense than the cumin he had eaten in his previous life! He was instantly excited. People who had not traveled through time would not understand this feeling. People were strangers in a foreign land, and missed their relatives more during festivals... He came to the Tang Dynasty and everything was fine, especially with his wife, which made him, a single dog in his previous life, so he was so uncomfortable with eating it here. He couldn't get used to the taste of the Tang Dynasty!

But with cumin, what are you worried about? With fine salt and cumin, you just need to say "I'm here, brother." I feel familiarly back! Oh, by the way, there are chili! I probably won't be able to eat this little thing originating from across the ocean in my life!

No! Li Mu suddenly woke up and almost there was a lucky bag! Since the lucky bag can be produced, it can produce peppers. Next month, I bet on the lucky bag and I won’t ask for anything. I’ll be satisfied with a chili!

When Dugu Jiu was eating, he would push the mask on his forehead and reveal his mouth. But even if he only showed half of his face, he was still a little beauty who was shy about the moon when he looked at him. Those who passed by were curious about seeing him. This beauty was interesting. She wore a mask and sat on the street to eat barbecue... The slutty young master wanted to come up and tease him, but before he could even walk in front of him, he saw Li Mu sitting opposite the little beauty. He was so scared that his face looked like a mortal. He didn't dare to take a look at him anymore and ran away in shame.

Nowadays, no one in Chang'an City who does not recognize Li Mu. His story has long been spread throughout the streets and alleys through the Datang Daily and many newspaper readers. His appearance is also known because he never conceals his whereabouts.

Has reputation been good overall? Because Li Mu's money was thrown into money, no, it won him a lot of favor. And he has one thing: if others don't provoke him, he will not bully others. In this alone, his character will exceed 90% of the playboys in Chang'an City. Not to mention, he has real skills. This is not bad, and all the things he invents are talked about.

In addition to reputation, everyone's common impression of him is the word "can't afford to offend". Needless to say, ordinary people, Li Mu is a third-rank military marquis and has a deep holy family, so he naturally cannot afford to offend him. However, those with status, nobles and family members, also consciously cannot afford to offend him. The reason is that in addition to the holy family, there is the involvement of the Tang Dynasty's salt industry and the Tang Dynasty mining industry. Most of their families have invested in shares. Hundreds of thousands of coins of money are still stored in the ice cellar of the Ministry of Works. How dare they provoke him?

Those Shandong gentry who claimed to be noble did not dare to provoke him. Although Wei Zheng was promoted to Li Mu and dismissed from office in that round of battle, the Shandong gentry's power in the court was almost completely damaged. Li Mu's subsequent methods also caused them to suffer a lot, so that Wei Zheng now has to take advantage of the road construction matter to come to the door for help. How dare they provoke him?

Therefore, several major forces in Chang'an City have mentioned more or less to their children. Don't provoke Li Mu if you provoke anyone, otherwise he will be so arrogant that he will not be killed. A fierce beating is inevitable. If you beat him, it will be useless. Do you dare to fight back?

As for the rogues in Chang'an City, they are almost incorporated by Bai Naoer and Ergou. Relying on Li Mu's power and money in hand, it's not like to incorporate some rogues. Some of those who are not convinced have moved their families under Baqiao and flow down the Ba River. I don't know where they have already reached.

Li Mu didn't know about these things. Bai Naoer and Ergou had never mentioned them. People have ambitions. Although Bai Naoer and Ergou are not real men, they also have their own ambitions. Taking Jingdong Ji as the foundation and unifying the "gangster" of Chang'an is their ambition. They would rather be careful and sneaky than do it.

Dugu Jiuyu was stunned when he looked at Li Mu staring at the seasoning on the meat slices, but he didn't take a few bites, and was confused. He glanced at the left and right, and then he said, "Brother, why don't you eat it?"

Without the help of the 'voice-changing mask', Dugu Jiu's voice returned to the girl's appearance. Li Mu hadn't heard his original voice for a long time. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "I'm thinking, what is this seasoning? I've never seen it before."

"Oh, this one." Dugu Jiu smiled. Although he could only see his mouth from Li Mu's perspective, he couldn't help but be shocked. This kid looks so evil. He is obviously a man, but he doesn't have an Adam's apple. If he lived in his previous life, wearing a female costume to dress as a fake girl, he would not know how many 2D boys who didn't know the truth would be bent...

Li Mu imagined the scene and suddenly got goosebumps.

"This is Anxi Fennel, which is abundant in the Western Regions, and is relatively small in the Central Plains."

"Enjoint?" Li Mu had never heard of this name and frowned: "Who got the name? How come he is so unlucky? Why, will he die after eating it?"

Dugu Jiu smiled and Li Mu quickly turned his head away. No, I can't stand it.
