Chapter 227: Chen Jie: Killing Yelu is as easy as taking something out of a bag
The dragon-patterned pufferfish, as its name suggests, is the king of pufferfish.
The king in all aspects, whether it is the delicious taste or the strength of the toxin, it is the best.
Especially its meat quality, which is called dragon meat.
Some people say that there is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground, but if you really want to say what tastes closest to dragon meat, it must be the taste of this dragon-patterned puffer fish.
For this reason, countless gourmets and diners would rather risk being poisoned than not taste this exquisite delicacy.
Every year, many people are poisoned by the dragon-patterned pufferfish, but this cannot stop people's love for it.
Especially for those who prefer sashimi, some people even boast that if they cannot eat dragon-patterned puffer fish once in their lifetime, their life will be lived in vain!
It can be seen how difficult it is to get addicted to its delicious taste.
As a sashimi fanatic, Yelu has been searching for the dragon-patterned pufferfish, but this thing really depends on luck. If you don't have luck, you can't buy it even if you have money.
Chen Jie also used the intelligence system and searched for two months before he finally found the fish.
That's right, Chen Jie has been looking for the dragon-patterned pufferfish in order to deal with Yelu. At first, he was thinking about how to please Yelu, but later it slowly evolved into the killing game he was preparing to set up.
Si Xi asked someone to bring a bucket, opened it, and inside was a green puffer fish with yellow dragon patterns on its body.
It looks almost the same as a real pufferfish, except that it has dazzling dragon patterns on its body and a pair of small fleshy horns on its head, making it look like it is about to turn into a dragon.
Therefore, they are called "sons and grandsons of dragons" by gourmets.
"This thing is a dragon-patterned pufferfish."
Xiaohu lay beside the bucket, looking at the dragon-patterned pufferfish in the bucket curiously.
Zhou Chu was also squatting there watching, and Xiaohu curiously touched the dragon-patterned pufferfish with his hand.
“Is this stuff really that delicious?”
Xiaohu said as he touched, and at this time, the dragon-patterned pufferfish in the bucket saw that someone dared to touch it, and it suddenly swelled up and became a big balloon.
Everyone was suddenly surprised, and at this moment, Chen Jie said, "Okay, stop touching it."
Xiao Hu withdrew his gaze upon hearing this. Chen Jie looked at Si Xi and said, "According to the plan, pick two reliable ones."
Si Xi said, "Yes, don't worry, Gang Leader."
Si Xi went out quickly, and Xiao Hu looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Boss, what should we do next?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "According to our plan, you go and select the people who will go north with us. As for the others?"
Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "Just do what you need to do."
After hearing this, everyone immediately said, "Yes."
Watching everyone leave, Chen Jie turned around and returned to the backyard. At this time, the entire backyard was filled with a very sad mood.
Su Yunjin's injury is a blow to the entire rear house. Although Su Yunjin usually keeps a low profile, she is the backbone of the rear house's affairs.
When she was injured, the whole backyard fell into chaos.
The maids and old women all had worried looks on their faces and gathered in front of Su Yunjin's room. At this time, Chen Jie came back from the front yard and saw Ruirui, the little girl who was fearless in normal days.
This time she was crying with tears in her eyes and threw herself into Chen Jie's arms.
"Brother-in-law... wuwuwu..."
Chen Jie picked her up and said, "It's okay, it's okay, why are you crying?"
"Brother-in-law, will my sister die? Ruirui can't live without her!"
The Su sisters have a very deep relationship with each other, especially for Su Yunrui. The little guy has a bad fate. His mother died when he was born.
When I was four years old, my father was killed by bandits on the way to Mianshui County, leaving me alone and helpless.
It was her sister who raised her with great difficulty, so although she calls Su Yunjin sister, in her heart, Su Yunjin is her biological mother!
Now that Su Yunjin was carried back like this, the little guy was completely scared. He had been crying secretly on the side, but after seeing Chen Jie, he couldn't help but come to his brother-in-law to cry.
Because in her heart, if her sister is her mother, then her brother-in-law is her father.
Seeing Ruirui crying so sadly, Chen Jie comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, your sister is fine."
Chen Jie tried to comfort him, and Rui Rui looked up at Chen Jie and asked, "Really brother-in-law?"
Chen Jie said: "Can I still lie to you?"
Ruirui said: "Let's make a pinky promise. You promise that my sister will be fine."
Chen Jie said, "Okay, okay, let's make a promise and stick to it for a hundred years."
After doing all this, Ruirui stopped crying, and Chen Jie carried Ruirui into Su Yunjin's room.
He saw Huang Wan'er on the way and saw that she also looked worried. Chen Jie couldn't help but feel relieved that the relationship between the two women was still good.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie said to Huang Wan'er, "Wan'er, you are so pregnant, don't stand here anymore, go back and rest."
Huang Wan'er said: "Well, then I'll go back."
Huang Wan'er didn't say anything else, but left obediently. At this time, she knew that leaving was the best choice.
Chen Jie entered the room at this time and saw Bai Wenjing had just finished taking Su Yunjin's pulse. Although Su Yunjin had been detoxified, the poison was still harmful to her body. At this time, she was lying there with a very pale face.
By this time, he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Chen Jie knew that she should rest more at this time, so he asked Bai Wenjing: "Master, can the Tai Sui Pill be used?"
Bai Wenjing said: "Yes, but you have to use it slowly. Don't use strong medicine to attack it head on, as it will easily damage your vitality."
Chen Jie understood and took out a Tai Sui Pill and gave it to Bai Wenjing. Bai Wenjing took the Tai Sui Pill, thought about it, divided it into three parts, and then dissolved it into medicinal soup with hot water. It is best to drink it once every two hours.
Chen Jiefang let Ruirui go and came to Su Yunjin.
I saw my wife's face was pale, as if she had a nightmare, and she was shouting: "Husband, don't, don't touch my child, don't..."
Chen Jie held her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, my lady, you have your husband. Your husband will take care of everything..."
Su Yunjin felt the strength of Chen Jie's big hand, so she stopped struggling and her breathing became slower.
Chen Jie waved his hand and said, "Everyone go out first. I will stay alone with Madam for a while."
After hearing this, everyone in the room went out obediently, even Su Yunrui was taken out by Yin Hongmei.
Chen Jie just sat by the bed, quietly accompanying his wife, looking at the tears in the corners of her eyes and gently wiping them away with his hands.
My wife has suffered so much.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie couldn't help but think of the assassin. The female assassin who finally assassinated him should not have been sent by Yelu. If she was not sent by Yelu, who else could have sent her?
There are two reasons. The first is that this assassin is obviously not from the same wave as the first two assassins.
Apart from their special abilities, these two in the first batch are very different from professional killers.
This is what Chen Jie felt first, they were definitely not in the same group.
Secondly, Chen Jie recalled that when the third assassin appeared, Yelu's expression was also horrified. People's subconscious reactions will not lie. He was indeed surprised at the time, which means that he did not know the existence of the third assassin.
This way, Yelu's suspicion can be eliminated.
The two assassins in the first wave were sent by Yelu, but the female assassin in the second wave was definitely not sent by Yelu.
If it’s not Yelu, then who else could it be?
Who would want to kill himself?
Chen Jie frowned, couldn't figure it out?
Chen Jie thought hard, thinking about those who had grudges against him. After thinking about it, Chen Jie thought of Yu Maner.
Is it Yu Maner?
If she had these two skills, why did she have to go to Yong'an Prefecture Night Market to find a killer? What's even more ridiculous is that the killer she chose was tricked by the broker.
That’s right, the two people from the Tang Clan and the Five Poison Sect confessed everything about Yu Maner.
So Chen Jie couldn't understand how a woman who could be cheated even when looking for a killer could find an assassin with such professional qualities and reliability all of a sudden?
Today, she almost succeeded.
Who else could it be if not Yu Maner? Could it be the Prince Qi's Mansion behind Yu Maner?
But the news spread too quickly. In just over ten days, the news was able to spread from Hubei to the Prince of Qi's Mansion in Shaanxi, and then the Prince of Qi's Mansion could send people to kill him. The efficiency of the Prince of Qi's Mansion was too high.
But apart from the Prince of Qi's Mansion, Chen Jie really couldn't think of anyone else he had offended?
Chen Jie was confused and alert, thinking that there must be a dark hand targeting him.
Wait a minute, my intelligence system has cooled down. There are still nine days left in the ten-day cooling-off period. Otherwise, Chen Jie will use the intelligence system to find out the assassin's background.
In this way, Chen Jie stayed with Su Yunjin until dark.
Su Yunjin slowly woke up and saw Chen Jie sitting on the bed holding her hand. A smile appeared on her face: "Husband."
"Madam, are you awake?"
Su Yunjin said: "Husband, you have been with me for a long time, your body must be numb."
Chen Jie stretched his body and said with a smile: "Haha, it's okay. By the way, come, drink this Tai Sui Dan potion. Master Bai said that after drinking this potion, you can recover in a day or two."
Su Yunjin said: "Okay."
Then, under Chen Jie's gaze, she drank all the potion, and then handed the empty bowl to Chen Jie and said, "Husband, I'm done. You can go back and rest. Just call Hongmei and the others."
Chen Jie said: "I'm not tired, I will accompany my wife today."
Chen Jie said, Su Yunjin smiled sweetly and said: "Husband, you have important things to do, and you can't delay it on this love affair."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "You are my most important thing. What is love? What is more important than my wife's safety?"
"Husband...you are saying such shameful things again."
After hearing what Chen Jie said, Su Yunjin's face immediately turned red, and she looked at Chen Jie shyly.
Chen Jie hugged Su Yunjin and said, "My dear, you have suffered."
Su Yunjin looked up at Chen Jie and said with a happy smile: "It's not bitter..."
……
There was no talking all night, and the next morning.
Chen Jie was eating breakfast in the living room. It was a light breakfast, just porridge with pickles.
Just then Si Xi came and saw Chen Jie and said, "Boss."
Chen Jie looked up at Si Xi and said, "Oh, Si Xi, have you had breakfast?"
Si Xi said, "It has been eaten, Boss. Our bait has been spread out."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Well, very good. How is Yelu Mansion today?"
Si Xi said, "The Yelu Mansion's purchases for today have already gone out and are heading straight to the dock."
The purchasing agents of the Yelu Mansion would go to the dock every day to buy the freshest fish and go back to make sashimi for Yelu, and today was no exception.
Chen Jie said: "Very good."
After saying "very good", Chen Jie continued to eat pickles. Everything was going according to his plan.
At this time, fishermen were arriving at Lijia Port, the nearest port to Limianshui County, one after another.
The purchasing agent of the Yelu Mansion is a fat man named Mu Lan. Although he is just a low-ranking servant in the Yelu Mansion, once he leaves the Yelu Mansion, he is the famous Tu Ye.
"Master Tu, you are here?"
At this time, on the dock, the manager of the fish market came up to them with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, the buyer pouted and said, "Haha, what kind of fish do you have today?"
"Uncle Tu, the fish are really good today. I think the fishermen are all having a good harvest. How about I accompany you to the fish market to take a look?"
The fish market is a small market built on the dock. Fishermen can sell the fish they catch directly in the fish market, which is very convenient. The major restaurants in the city, or wealthy homes, and merchants who want to eat fresh fish must come to the fish market to buy live fish first.
The buyer said, "Okay, let's go check out some good fish today. My family hasn't eaten much these past two days, and the fish we get at the fish market are too ordinary, nothing good to eat."
After hearing this, the manager said, "Yes, yes, there is nothing we can do. There are rare fish in the Mian River, but they are hard to catch!"
Upon hearing this, the purchasing manager said, "Well, forget it, this is the only way."
Thinking this way, the two of them walked straight into the fish market. At this time, the fishermen who were setting up stalls in the fish market saw them, looked at each other, and then said, "Here they come, here they come."
After hearing this, someone inside immediately said, "Oh, I know, I know."
"Do everything carefully, don't let anyone see any flaws."
"Don't worry, we have rehearsed it more than 20 times, so there won't be any mistakes."
"Okay, everyone, cheer up. If we do this well, it will be a great achievement. Everyone, where are all the glory and wealth? Don't waste it!"
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and immediately entered the performance state.
At this time, the purchasing manager of Yelu Mansion also came over.
At the moment when Tu Ye walked over, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the fish market: "Oh my God, this, this is a dragon-patterned pufferfish, boss, I want it, I'll pay one hundred taels!"
"One hundred taels, you're just treating a beggar like that. I'll give you two hundred taels for this precious fish!"
"Two hundred taels, haha, a bunch of beggars, I'll give you five hundred taels, our Zhaozhou Chamber of Commerce will give you five hundred taels, is there anyone who wants it? If not, then I'll give it to you..."
……
The quarreling noises here immediately reached the ears of the buyer. He glared at the fish market manager and asked, "Dragon-patterned pufferfish? Are there any dragon-patterned pufferfish landing today?"
The manager said, "I don't know. I just got here too."
After hearing this, the buyer said, "Why don't you go and take a look!"
As he said this, he trotted over. He knew too much about dragon-patterned puffer fish. As a purchaser, how could he not know that the thing Lord Yelu wanted to eat most in his life was dragon-patterned puffer fish? When Commander Qimugege was alive, he once said that no matter who you are, as long as you see the dragon-patterned puffer fish, you must get the fish no matter how much it costs.
He still remembers it clearly now and must not forget that this dragon-patterned pufferfish is the real treasure!
Thinking of this, the buyer accelerated again. How could a man like him climb to a high position in the Yelu Mansion? It was nothing more than gaining the favor of his master.
As long as Lord Yelu likes him and honors him, he will become the new noble of the Yelu Mansion. The road to heaven is right before his eyes. How can he not cherish it and seize it? This dragon-patterned puffer fish is his road to heaven.
So we have to get it no matter what.
Thinking of this, he rushed into the crowd in a hurry. Behind the crowd, he saw a guy who looked like a foreign merchant saying, "Five hundred taels, five hundred taels, boss, sell it to me, sell it to me."
"I'll give you cash. I'll give you cash."
At this time, the fisherman was wondering why so many people were scrambling to buy his fish today. When he saw someone offering five hundred taels, he felt a little dizzy.
"One thousand taels!"
At this time, the buyer shouted loudly, and was afraid that others would not know, so he shouted directly: "I, Yelu Mansion, will buy this fish for one thousand taels!"
At this moment, the buyer's voice startled the people around him, "One thousand taels for a fish, this is too crazy."
Moreover, the Yelu Mansion was very famous in Mianshui County. At this time, they consciously made way for the buyer. The buyer walked over and said to the boss: "One thousand taels, I will pay one thousand taels for this fish."
The fisherman was also shocked, and at the same time recognized that the buyer was from Yelu Mansion.
The buyer also recognized the fisherman in front of him. He knew this fisherman and he often bought fish from him.
This fisherman looks very old, perhaps in his forties or fifties, but in fact he is only thirty. He has just aged quickly due to the wind and rain. The fisherman's name is Yang Laoshi, and he is an old local fisherman.
The buyer saw Yang Laoshi and said, "Yang Laoshi, you know me, right? This dragon-patterned pufferfish costs one thousand taels. I'll buy it."
As he spoke, the buyer looked at the puffer fish in the bucket. He saw that the puffer fish looked very special indeed. There were yellow dragon patterns on the green skin of the fish, and there were fleshy horns on its head, which looked like dragon horns.
The buyer looked at the dragon-patterned pufferfish with his eyes full of admiration. Yes, it was this dragon-patterned pufferfish.
Yelu once described this dragon-patterned puffer fish, because Yelu had eaten this dragon-patterned puffer fish once. It was at a very high-end banquet, and he was given a piece of this puffer fish meat. Just one bite was unforgettable for him.
Then I searched for so many years, but always couldn't find it.
Therefore, Yelu explained almost all the characteristics of the dragon-patterned pufferfish to make it easier for his subordinates to find the dragon-patterned pufferfish.
The buyer was trained and could tell at a glance that this was a dragon-patterned pufferfish. No problem.
The buyer said, "I want this pufferfish from the Yelu Mansion. It costs one thousand taels. Is there anyone who wants to grab it?"
After hearing this, everyone around was stunned. Who doesn't know that the people in Yelu Mansion are domineering?
After figuring this out, everyone gave up the idea of robbing, but the merchant from Zhaozhou seemed unconvinced and said, "Do you think the Yelu Mansion is so great?"
"Our Li family was the first to see this fish. Do you want to snatch it away?"
"Zhaozhou, Li family, what kind of thing do you dare to snatch from my Yelu Mansion?" "Hey, okay, you Yelu Mansion is awesome, right? My Zhao family is not easy to bully. Nothing else, this fish is 1,200 taels, boss, sell it to me!"
Hearing this, the buyer burst out laughing, turned around and looked at the honest Yang Laoshi and said, "Yang Laoshi, he has 1,200 taels, and I only have 1,000 taels. Do you dare to sell it to him?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Laoshi's face suddenly turned livid and he said, "Tu, Master Tu, I'll sell it to you for one thousand taels."
After hearing this, an arrogant look emerged on the buyer's face. In this small piece of land of Mianshui, no one dared to be so arrogant as to not give face to the Yelu Mansion!
Today he wants to see who is brave enough to snatch things from the Yelu Mansion!
The buyer had an arrogant look on his face, and the people around him seemed to be afraid of him. Only the merchant from Zhaozhou said, "One thousand five hundred taels, boss, one thousand five hundred taels, I want to buy your puffer fish, will you sell it?"
Yang Laoshi said with a wronged look on his face: "Boss, please don't add any more. No matter how much you offer, I dare not sell it to you. This is Tu Ye from Yelu Mansion. Who in Mianshui County dares to offend Tu Ye?"
The people from the Zhaozhou Chamber of Commerce sneered and said, "What's so great about that, Boss? If you sell me the fish, I'll give you 1,800 taels. Take the money and follow me to Zhaozhou. I'll make sure you become a landlord and a wealthy man. Why do you need to be a fisherman in Mianshui County?"
"We still have to endure the oppression and humiliation of the government!"
After hearing this, Tu Ye sneered and said, "Humph, you say it lightly, do you believe it or not, I can keep you from leaving Mianshui with just one word?"
"Oh, Master Tu, Master Tu, please don't scare me. I'll sell you this fish. I'll sell it to you."
"My dear guest, please don't try to steal. Even if you offer me 10,000 taels, I can't sell you."
Yang Laoshi was completely frightened and waved his hands and said, "When the Zhaozhou merchant saw the Yelu Mansion forcibly purchasing and even began to threaten, he stomped his feet in anger and walked out of the street cursing."
"Heh, you're trying to steal something from our Yelu Mansion. What kind of thing?"
When Tu Ye saw that he had caught the puffer fish, he was immediately delighted. He looked at the Zhaozhou merchant who left with disdain, and then looked at Yang Lao Shi and asked, "When was this fish caught?"
Yang said honestly, "Last night."
"Well, it's not fresh. Fish should be caught and eaten right away. You've left it for a day and it's eight hundred taels."
"what?"
Yang Laoshi's voice trembled when he heard this. Tu Ye narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why, you don't accept it?"
Yang Laoshi said: "I accept, I accept, eight hundred taels is eight hundred taels."
At this time, Tu Ye reached into his purse, rummaged around, took out a purse, opened it and counted it.
"Yes, I'll take 500 taels today. You can go to Yelu Mansion to get the remaining 300 taels."
"what!"
Yang Laoshi was terrified. Who would dare to go to Yelu Mansion to ask for money? Is this a way to kill yourself?
But Tu Ye didn't care about that and said directly: "I'll take the fish."
After saying that, he left with the fish bucket, ignoring Yang Laoshi's expression. At the same time, he laughed secretly in his heart. He bought a dragon-patterned puffer fish for only five hundred taels. It was really a big profit.
If this fish market wasn't the area of influence of the fishing gang, he wouldn't even be willing to give the five hundred taels.
Just like that, he hurried back to the mansion with the fish in his arms. Now he had no intention of going to the fish market, but was determined to deliver the fish to Lord Yelu as soon as possible, then accept Lord Yelu's praise, and then be promoted.
Become the next celebrity in Yelu Mansion.
Tu Ye left in a hurry. Looking at his disappearing back, Yang Lao Shi put aside his honest appearance and said, "Haha, the bait has been taken. Send a letter to the gang."
After hearing this, a fishmonger nearby said, "Old Yang, well done, your performance was flawless."
Yang said honestly: "Haha, I was born a fisherman, so I can play a fisherman with ease."
A few people talked to each other, and soon the news was delivered to the fishing gang in the form of a carrier pigeon.
Xiaohu caught the flying pigeon, untied the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, took a look, came to Chen Jie and said, "Brother Jiusi, the fish has taken the bait."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie's mouth curled up, he took a sip of tea, smiled without saying anything, the first step was successful.
Next comes the second step.
Chen Jie was thinking and drinking tea, very calm. He had a feeling of watching the enemy walk into a death trap little by little. This feeling of controlling the life and death of others was indeed very refreshing.
Tu Ye ran back to Yelu's mansion and then hurried to Yelu's room.
At this time, in Yelu's mansion, Yelu was listening to Ahetai's report.
"Master, our scouts report that the fishing gang has already started notifying their families to pack up, and they will definitely leave Mianshui County tomorrow."
"Hehe, as long as Chen Jiusi leaves Mianshui County, there will only be an empty shell of the fishing gang left, and we can control it at will."
Ahetai said with a smile.
Yelu heard this and said, "Haha, that's right. The Mian River is still mine after all. It's a pity that Chen Jiusi was not killed and he ran away. But it doesn't matter. He offended the King of Qi, and the King of Qi will deal with him sooner or later. His good days will not last long."
After hearing this, Ahetai said, "Your Excellency is right."
Yelu said: "Although I failed to kill Chen Jiusi with my own hands, it is also a great joy that Chen Jiusi will leave the Mian River tomorrow. It is worth celebrating."
Ahedai asked, "How about a banquet?"
Yelu said, "Have the puffer fish I ordered arrived? We'll have a sashimi feast tomorrow."
After hearing this, Ahetai said, "They have arrived, and we have also found the chef who will make the sashimi. He is a famous chef in Huangzhou Prefecture."
Yelu said: "Well, very good."
"It's a pity that such a delicacy can only be served with ordinary puffer fish. It would be so much more wonderful if there was a tiger-striped puffer fish or a dragon-striped puffer fish."
As Yelu was speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then the buyer Tu Ye ran in and said, "Master, master, great joy, great joy!"
Yelu frowned and said, "What happy event? Why are you soaked?"
The buyer said, "Sir, I, I bought a dragon-patterned pufferfish."
"what!"
Upon hearing this, Yelu sat up with a look of shock on his face.
"Where is the dragon, the dragon-patterned pufferfish?"
Yelu said excitedly at this time. Yelu’s current state is like a person who finally got the treasure he has been waiting for for a long time. This mentality is impatient!
"Right, right outside."
"Bring it in, bring it in."
Hearing this, Tu Ye immediately shouted: "Quick, bring the fish in."
After hearing this, someone immediately brought in the fish. Yelu went straight to the fish barrel and looked at the big fish in the barrel with his eyes wide open.
This beautiful pattern, this fascinating texture, and this pair of fleshy horns.
That’s right, it’s the dragon-patterned pufferfish, it’s the dragon-patterned pufferfish.
Thinking of Yelu, he said excitedly: "I have waited for ten years, and finally I have waited for you."
Yelu said: "Okay, okay!"
Thinking of this, Yelu looked up at Ahetai and said, "Tomorrow, when Chen Jiusi leaves Mianshui County, I will eat this fish to celebrate."
Ahedai heard this and said, "Master, fish is delicious, but it is also poisonous. It is dangerous to eat it!"
Yelu looked at Ahetai and said, "It's dangerous, but eating this fish is not dangerous. As long as it is cooked properly, it won't be dangerous. I ate it ten years ago, and I still miss it."
Ahetai turned to look at Tuye and asked, "Where did you get this fish?"
Tu Ye said, "I bought it from the fishermen at the fish market."
"The fish market, sir, is the territory of the fishing gang. I'm afraid Chen Jiusi will poison the fish!"
"We should be cautious!"
Yelu glanced at Ahetai and said, "It's okay. You don't understand the dragon-patterned pufferfish. The dragon-patterned pufferfish has very high requirements for water quality. If the water quality is not suitable, it will not survive, let alone poison. If even a drop of poison falls into this bucket, the fish will not be alive and kicking today!"
After hearing this, Ahetai frowned and said, "Master, do you really have to eat it?"
Yelu said: "If you don't eat dragon-patterned pig in your life, it would be useless even if you live a hundred years. This delicacy is a gift from heaven, how can you let it go to waste."
"I know you're worried. Please go to the kitchen and ask the master to come over. I want to ask him for advice in person."
Yelu said to Ahetai, who immediately said, "Yes."
Immediately afterwards, Ahetai went to the kitchen and invited the sashimi chef who was hired by the Yelu Mansion at a high price.
The master walked into the room, greeted Yelu and said, "Greetings, Master Yelu."
Yelu glanced at the fish sashimi master and said, "Take a look at this fish. Is there any way to cook it?"
After hearing this, Master Yusheng stepped forward to take a look and immediately said, "Dragon-patterned pufferfish, it's actually a dragon-patterned pufferfish!"
The sashimi chef was very excited. In their sashimi world, the highest achievement was to have the opportunity to make a high-end dragon-patterned puffer fish dish in this lifetime.
This is the greatest honor in the life of sashimi masters.
Seeing the sashimi master so excited, Yelu looked at him and asked, "Do you have any way to cook this fish?"
Upon hearing this, the sashimi master said, "Your Excellency, I am confident that I can cook any ordinary pufferfish, but I have never cooked this dragon-patterned pufferfish before, and this fish is very different from ordinary pufferfish."
"When cooking puffer fish, you need extremely sophisticated techniques and a deep understanding of the fish. When you start cutting, you need to finish it in a split second. You have to make sure that the fish meat comes off but the fish is still alive."
"If you are a little slower, the toxin may spread to the fish meat, so this kind of dragon-patterned pufferfish is the lifelong pursuit of our fish master."
"Anyone who can successfully cook a dragon-patterned pufferfish is a god in our sashimi world."
The sashimi master said this very seriously, and Yelu listened attentively. Finally, he asked, "So, can you cook this fish?"
The sashimi master said, "I can't cook it. My skills are not good enough. If you give me another five years, I will be able to cook this fish."
After hearing this, Yelu was quite disappointed. Five years? I can’t wait for you for five years. I want to eat this fish tomorrow.
"but."
Just when Yelu was quite disappointed, Master Yusheng suddenly changed the subject and said, "But if Master Yelu really wants to eat it, my master can cook it."
"Your master?"
Yelu was stunned and looked at Master Yusheng and asked, "Who is your master?"
Yelu said, "My master was once the apprentice of the best chef in Hubei. He specialized in sashimi and once cooked sashimi for the imperial envoy. In addition, my master was the chef when the sashimi banquet was held in the Ruyang Palace."
"Sashimi feast at Ruyang Palace."
Yelu's eyes lit up, because he had eaten sashimi at Ruyang Palace ten years ago. He didn't expect that the chef was his master.
Moreover, the fact that Prince Ruyang's Palace could invite his master to be the head chef must have something unique about it.
Sure enough, the sashimi master spoke: "Well, the reason why my master was invited to the palace is that my master's knife skills are amazing, and he is a master at dealing with pufferfish. In addition, my master has a unique skill. When my master was learning his craft, he accidentally met a master who taught my master a secret recipe for the antidote for dragon-patterned pufferfish."
"With this antidote, even if you are really poisoned by the dragon-patterned pufferfish, you can detoxify as long as you drink the antidote in time."
"Oh, there is such a magical antidote?"
Yelu said in surprise. Master Yusheng said, "The former prefect of Huangzhou Prefecture also ate dragon-patterned pufferfish. At that time, he invited a master from another place, but he was poisoned after eating it. My master happened to be among the guests at that time and took out the antidote to save the former prefect."
"Many people knew about this at the time. If you don't believe me, you can check it out."
After hearing this, Yelu said, "I know now that it was your master."
"I wonder where your master is now. Can you ask him to come and cook this fish for me?"
After hearing this, Yelu felt relieved. With an antidote, the puffer fish wouldn't be so scary to eat. At least it could be used to detoxify.
However, Ahetai on the side frowned. What a coincidence! When the adults wanted to eat dragon-patterned puffer fish, a master chef who cooked dragon-patterned puffer fish came. Could it be that someone was trying to make a fuss about this?
Ahetai frowned, his mind was in a turmoil, he always felt that something was wrong!
Thinking of this, Master Yu Sheng said: "Master Yelu, what a coincidence! My master lives in Lin County. If you need me, I can write a letter and it should arrive tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Yelu said, "Okay, quickly revise the book and ask the master to come."
After hearing this, the Yusheng master said, "Okay, I'll go and ask my master right away."
Yelu said: "Ahetai, you go there in person and invite the master chef back to cook this fish for me."
After hearing this, Ahetai thought to himself, OK, let me go and kill this old guy on the way, and then I'll see how he prepares the fish for his master.
But at this moment, Yelu frowned and said, "Well, don't, don't go, that..."
Yelu turned his gaze towards the purchaser Tu Ye.
Tu Ye said, "Little Tut."
"Yes, yes, it's you. You bought the fish, and you should go and invite the guests. Remember, if you fail to invite the guests, or if something unexpected happens, you don't have to come back."
"Yes, little one understands."
Tutt agreed immediately, and the sashimi master on the other side had already written the letter. Tutt took the letter and went to invite the master with his guards.
Soon the news reached Chen Jie. Upon hearing this, Chen Jie placed a chess piece, which turned into five pieces in a row. He smiled and said to Chen Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, you lose."
Chen Xiaohu said: "Brother Jiu Si, why can't I beat you every time?"
Chen Jie said: "You, when playing chess, you can't just focus on the piece you put down, you also have to consider how to arrange the next few moves."
Chen Xiaohu said: "Brother Jiusi, Yelu has gone to find the old master now, what should we do?"
Chen Jie said: "Let's move north!"
Chen Jie pointed to the north. That’s right, he was going north to Huangzhou Prefecture.
If Chen Jie doesn't leave, Yelu probably won't enjoy the meal very much.
Thinking like this, another day passed. The next day, Chen Jie brought a large group of people to find Zhao Ya. Zhao Ya was already waiting for Chen Jie. Looking at the large cart and small carriage behind Chen Jie, she asked, "Is there enough space for so many people to stay in Huangzhou?"
Chen Jie said, "Don't worry, Princess. I bought a house in Huangzhou Prefecture a long time ago. The whole family can live there comfortably."
Zhao Ya said: "Haha, you really plan ahead. Let's go. According to this journey, we can reach Huangzhou Prefecture in two days."
Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Yes, let's go."
In this way, Chen Jie and Zhao Ya set out on the journey to Huangzhou Prefecture.
At this time, on the city wall of the Mianshui River, Yelu watched Zhao Ya and Chen Jie and his party leave Huangzhou Prefecture, his face full of joy. This damn bastard finally left the Mianshui River. Now he can do whatever he wants. Today is really a day worth celebrating.
Yelu was thinking, and then he saw Tut quickly walk up and said, "Master, I'm back."
Yelu looked at Tut and said, "Master Yusheng is here?"
Tutt said, "Quick Knife Wu, Master Wu has been invited. Master, would you like to meet him?"
Yelu heard this and said, "Haha, then we have to meet in person."
After hearing this, an old man with white hair came up quickly, bowed to Yelu and said, "Greetings, Lord Yelu."
Yelu looked at the sharp knife master Wu and said, "Master Wu, right? I heard your apprentice say that you can make fish sashimi like a god with a sharp knife."
"It's all thanks to the big guys."
Quick Knife Wu said immediately. After hearing this, Yelu said, "Master Wu is really modest."
"I have a dragon-patterned pig in my hand, and I need Master Wu to cook it. I wonder if Master Wu is confident in cooking it?"
Master Wu smiled and said, "Master Yelu, I am sure I can cook this fish, but Master Yelu, I still want to remind you."
"Master Wu, please speak."
"This dragon-patterned porpoise is not an ordinary fish. It is very poisonous. If you are not careful, it will be contaminated with toxins. So even if I cook it, there are risks. If Lord Yelu listens to me, then don't eat it?"
Yelu heard this and said, "I can't not eat it. With such delicious food in front of me, not eating it would be more painful than killing me."
"As for the poison, I heard that Master Wu has an antidote. Could it be that the antidote is a hoax?"
Upon hearing this, Master Wu said, "Haha, Master Yelu must be joking. How could I cheat people with fake medicine? I was just kindly reminding you."
Yelu said: "Thank you very much, but I must eat this fish, please ask Master Wu to cook it!"
Yelu made a gesture of invitation!
