As for her guarantee, the Duke of Yue was very satisfied and said: "Im hungry."

  He Lean immediately responded to give him delicious food, but couldnt help but wonder: "Prince Yueguo, what about the waiters in the wine house, Xiong Shu, Cao Zhanggui, Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Qi and so on? You wont be..."

  "Ive bought out the wine shop, just the store, not the people. They took the money and left with a smile."

  "Is there still such an operation?"

  He Lean could only sigh and say, "Money can make a ghost grind, power can make people oppress others." She went to the back kitchen to cook, having just killed a fresh fish. The elegant King of Yue, dressed in a beautiful red dress, strolled in, leaning against the vegetable rack, gazing at her sideways. He Lean ignored him, slicing the fish meat with her slender fingers, her knife skills pure and skillful, making even this messy task look elegant and beautiful, like painting a picture.

  Suddenly, she said: "What is the best thing that Prince Yue has ever eaten?" Her tone was casual, as if it didnt matter whether he answered or not.

  "I dont have a special memory of the most delicious thing Ive ever eaten, but what left the deepest impression on me was tree bark, raw wild vegetables that werent even boiled, and sour to bitter wild fruits."

  When he heard this, He Lianan looked up at him in surprise. He smiled and said: "When I was a child, probably around 7 or 8 years old, I followed my father to the border to fight wars. At that time, the imperial court was unstable, the emperor was critically ill, the vassal kings were fighting for power, foreign enemies frequently invaded, and military supplies were intentionally cut off. Even so, the battle to protect our home had to be fought. Without food, there would be no strength, so my father could only resort to this inferior strategy."

  He Leans heart suddenly jumped in panic, she never thought that in her previous life, she had actually killed such a loyal and patriotic family. She was afraid he would notice something wrong, so she quickly lowered her head to continue cooking the fish meat, saying softly: "Speaking of flavor, I read a book about it, which introduced many seasonings that can make unpalatable things extremely delicious, its like turning trash into treasure. I remember theres one called Mi Nang Zi that can even make people addicted."

  "Adding it to rotten meat can also make the eater feel like they are eating the most delicious thing in the world. In the past, ancient tribes used it when going to war to prevent military food shortages, but overeating it is a chronic poison that makes people lose their nature and become violent and crazy."

  The real boss of Jili Wine House is not a local official in Fengzhou City who can be killed or stopped, she wants to save those innocent civilians, but can only borrow the hand of Yuanguo Wang, and also has to remind him without leaving any clues that this person is careful.

  "Its actually quite interesting."

  "Is that so? But this seasoning is not something ordinary people can easily get. The book says it grows in extremely harsh forest environments, and when the flowers bloom, the intense fragrance can cause people to die unknowingly in their sleep."

  "You sound like youre regretting something?"

  He Lean took out a jar of pickled vegetables specially made by Xiong Shu, and said while cutting them: "If theres an opportunity, Id like to meet him."

  She quickly made a delicious sour fish soup for him, and added the rice they had cooked in the daytime which was still hot, carrying the tray out to the hall. Looking at the Duke of Yue who was sitting lazily at the dinner table, she said: "There is both meat and vegetables, enough for you to eat alone, its getting late, Im going home, eat slowly."

  The king of Yue let her go quickly, watching her slender figure disappear from his sight bit by bit. He picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of fish meat, saying in a light tone: "Qingsen, go investigate what she said about rice bags."
