Chapter 45 Four Five: What are you talking about, I don’t know
Foot soaking recipe: A night of fish and dragon dance.
The main ingredients are ichthyosaur, licorice, blood ginseng powder, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Lihuo salt, etc.
There were a few things that were relatively unfamiliar, so Li Sui'an looked up the information.
Lihuo salt is a kind of mineral in volcanoes and sea salt that has been squeezed and precipitated by high temperatures over the years and crystallized. It is orange-red in color and looks like a burning flame, so it is named after it.
This kind of salt mine exists in the southern area of Tianpeng Mountains. It is in the hands of a few forces and rarely flows out.
In addition, most other medicinal materials can also be found.
Only Ichthyosaurus... This is unique to the Death Abyss!
The abyss of death.
He thought again of the blood sprout rice seeds in his hand.
Sooner or later I have to go.
However, it may be impossible to collect these prescriptions in a short time. It seems that we will continue to use "Huoxue Yiqi Powder" to deal with it.
Fortunately, the foot soaking skill has been upgraded, and the skill effect of LV2 still exists.
The life-locking effect of LV2 is still the same.
But every day he soaked his feet, he felt like two days of his life were wasted.
It hurts.
…

"Master, Second Young Master Xu is here."
Fu Qingnian, who was preparing to expand the brewery, suddenly came in.
"Which Second Young Master Xu?"
"The second young master of the Xu family, president of the restaurant association."
"Does Uncle Fu know why he's here?"
Fu Qingnian shook his head and said, "Young master, please be careful. I heard recently that the Xu family boss is about to be promoted again. It doesn't feel like a good thing to come here at this time."
Li Sui'an nodded.
Although Xu Congrong is over forty, he still takes good care of himself. Just looking at his appearance, some would believe him even if he is said to be thirty years old.
If it weren't for Li Sui'an's small success in body training, which caused a drastic change in his temperament, his skin became white and rosy, his whole body was full of energy and energy, and he looked much younger, he would really be comparable to him.
Xu Congrong was born into a family, and was influenced by his family environment since he was a child. He carries with him the nobility and majesty of an aristocratic family.
What's rare is that this person is responsible for the family's business operations. Years of hard work in the business have allowed him to develop the habit of laughing when he opens his mouth. He rarely shows off his face in front of others. Even if there are conflicts, they will only be resolved behind the scenes.
He has such a life experience, but he is also cautious and cautious in dealing with others. He has learned a lot about the tact and kindness of businessmen.
When he is willing to put down his arrogance and interact with ordinary people, he will inadvertently make people feel flattered, and whatever they want to discuss or do business will naturally fall into place.
"Welcome, President Xu. Your visit really makes the shop shine."
"Hahaha, my nephew has met, just call me uncle. I remember when you were young, I hugged you. Oh, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you have grown up. Maybe I will
It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, but it’s still so stylish. I remember when I was still at the helm of the business. I was very nervous when I first took over the business. I often came to ask my opinion. We talked about everything, just like biological brothers. Now we have Sui’an Management
The business and the restaurant are also getting more and more prosperous. If you don’t lose, it’s my father.”
The voice is bold and bold, and a series of modal words is used when opening the mouth, which creates a close relationship and makes the conversation atmosphere instantly lively.
Anyone who looks at it can't help but sigh, the elders are harmonious and the younger generations are friendly.
Li Sui'an had a smile on his face and said in his heart, "President, thank you for your praise. Sui'an's success is acceptable, let alone pioneering and enterprising. He is far worse than his father."
Xu Congrong didn't care that he didn't call him uncle, and said with a smile: "Look, you are too humble."
"Ruyifang's Zui Chunfeng was selected as a tribute wine this time, which was both beyond my expectations and reasonable. After all, your Zui Chunfeng is also a first-class wine. This time it was officially selected as a tribute wine, and it has become a national wine.
The list of wines has also helped our Kunpeng Restaurant Association create a new national wine that will last forever, and my good nephew is indispensable."
Li Sui'an said, "I can get first place even if I'm lying down. If you don't live up to your expectations, there's nothing I can do about it."
"Excessive praise. It's rare for the president to come here, so he must give Sui'an a chance to entertain him well. It just so happened that the restaurant recently released some new dishes. The president will have to try them later. Please come in quickly.
.”
"Okay. Then I won't refuse."
They sat down one by one, and while the food and wine were still being prepared, Li Sui'an took out the exquisite tea set he had just received.
Start pouring tea.
Sure enough, Xu Congrong noticed it at a glance, "My wise nephew knows the tea ceremony?"
"Having a little knowledge is not worth mentioning."
Xu Congrong said: "I think your tea set is quite Runjing style, especially this set of jade cups, which are molded in one piece and beautifully carved. It's really rare. Hey, the teapot is also good. Why does it look like a series of stone carvings with nine orifices?
of?"
"President, you have good eyesight. I just got this tea set not long ago. The elder gave it to me, and I can't refuse even if I want to. As for the material of the teapot, I don't know."
"Oh? Who is so generous? If it is really a teapot carved from nine orifices, this set of tea sets will probably cost more than a thousand taels of silver."
"Is it so expensive?"
Li Sui'an's face was shocked and full of emotion. Then he bowed his hands in the direction of Lion Rock in an exaggerated manner, "Master Zhenfu, you are so kind to me. Such an expensive tea set can be given away as soon as you say it. In the next introduction
Merchants, how can they be so virtuous?"
"Um...who?"
"Master Yuan Chunfang, the governor of the Lantern Division."
Xu Congrong was stunned for a moment, "Oh, have you already met Mr. Yuan?"
"Yes. Yesterday, Mr. Yuan personally summoned me and gave me a badge, so that I can go to him at any time if I have any difficulties."
Xu Congrong's eyebrows skipped a beat and he smiled and said: "My nephew is so lucky. I have long heard that the governor is easy-going and dedicated to serving the people. Today I got another proof from you."
"In this way, I feel more comfortable leaving my niece to you."
Meow meow...
(￢_￢)
"Hahaha, nephew, don't be surprised, this is a good thing. Our two families used to be very close, but in recent years, your father passed away, so we neglected to move around. My father has been transferred from the Ministry of Household Affairs and will soon be appointed as the North District Sixth Road of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
He will be taking up the post of doctor in the Consul General's Department in the near future. After he learned that you were not married yet, he intended to betroth his cousin to you. In this way, our two families can be considered to be closer to each other. "
Li Sui'an's expression was wonderful, "Mr. Xu is going to be the doctor of the Sixth-level Commander-in-Chief Affairs Office of Beidi. He will be a senior officer of the fourth rank. Congratulations, the Xu family has taken another step forward. But this matter..."
What the hell, he insists on sending a girl to his door.
What kind of weird trick is this?
It's true that I can't fix it.
Xu Congrong interrupted: "Don't worry, good nephew, my niece is gentle and considerate, as beautiful as a flower. She has been well-known in the family since she was a child, and her father personally acts as a matchmaker. From now on, we will be a family, and we will never treat her badly.
about you."
Li Sui'an understood now.
What a good idea, we all became a family.
If he has another problem, the old Li family will become the old Xu family.
"I beg your pardon that Sui'an cannot agree..."
"Nephew, you don't have to make a decision in a hurry. There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having an heir. At your age, it's time to get married and consider continuing the family inheritance. Your father passed away early, and as an uncle, I have to do it with reluctance.
It’s also okay to do the marriage for you.”
Li Sui'an said sternly: "I'm afraid I will disappoint the president's good intentions. I am still young and have no plans to get married yet."
Xu Congrong twitched his fingers and said with a smile: "Although my father is elegant and easy-going, he is not as easy to talk to as I am. Once his idea is given, it is difficult to take it back. My nephew, please think about it carefully."
"I respect Mr. Xu. But even if my father is alive, it would be difficult to shake my determination to get me married. I can only ask Mr. Lao to withdraw his kindness."
When my predecessor, my father, was still alive, I couldn't persuade this unfilial son who was a "celibate hedonist". Who do you think he is?
At this time, there was a faint noise outside.
The soundproofing effect in the tea room is good, and only shallow sounds can be heard.
Xu Congrong still had a smile on his face, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"What does my good nephew have to hide? I am here on my father's orders to marry the two families. If my good nephew resists like this, it will be difficult for me to go back and resume my life."
Li Sui'an's mind was racing rapidly.
This was a threat from a fourth-rank household official. The household doctor was already a senior official in the local area, and he was not comparable to a small official like Xu Kun.
The "close the door and intimidate" technique is fine for dealing with the police, after all, he has a lot of money.
But what to do now?
Regardless of his past life or this life, he lacks experience in dealing with officialdom.
A look of embarrassment appeared on his face, "I'll tell you the truth..."
"Where's Li Sui'an? Ask him to come out and see me quickly."
A woman's scolding came from outside the door, but it didn't sound very real.
Li Sui'an frowned slightly, "I'll tell you the truth. I already have a sweetheart, and I won't marry anyone but her in this life."
Xu Congrong had a ridiculous expression on his face.
You thought about it for a long time and just came up with such a reason?
The smile disappeared from his face, "My good nephew wouldn't just make up a random reason to send me away."
"I don't know which girl made you feel attracted to me so early, why didn't you marry me back home? I came to propose marriage sincerely, but my nephew is so ignorant, hesitant, and talks nonsense to fool me. If my nephew
If you don't give a clear answer, let alone my father, even I will get angry."
"boom!"
As he said that, he placed the tea cup heavily, leaving a deep mark on the table, showing his good cultivation.
Li Sui'an's head tightened, "President, calm down, everything I said is true."
"Then tell me, who made your heart belong to you?"
"yes……"
Bang~
The tea room door was violently pushed open.
Li Sui'an looked surprised as he looked at the woman with a hood, a large cloak, a silver-thread flying fish suit and a sign of great misfortune, who rushed in with an angry look.
"See my lord."
Xu Congrong also stood up slowly, bowed his hands, and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out it's Si Baihu, and Xu is being polite."
The person who came in was none other than Siye, the lantern-carrying envoy from one hundred households in Jiazi Camp of the Land Department of the Lantern-carrying Department.
Si also had a look of displeasure on his face, "It turns out that President Xu is here. I've been shouting for a long time, but no one came out to see me."
Xu Congrong said: "Master Baihu, are you looking for my nephew? Then Xu will leave first and see you another day." After saying that, he turned to Li Sui'an with a smile and said: "My nephew, please think about this matter carefully.
, I hope there will be a good result before my father takes office. Good news from Xu Moujing."
"President, walk slowly. The person I'm talking about is none other than Mr. Si."
"What?"
Xu Congrong looked shocked.
Look at him, then at the violent woman with a frosty face, and then at him.
It's almost like "The toad wants to eat swan meat" is clearly written on his face.
Si Ye also had a question mark on his face, "What are you talking about, I don't know."
"really?"
Li Sui'an bowed deeply and said with determination, "It's absolutely true!"
After a while, he said, "Hahaha, my nephew is so courageous and courageous, so I wish you all your wishes will come true."
