Chapter 46 Meal Money
"Brother Bai, you are finally here."

As soon as Bai Yuan stepped through the back door of Wuweilou leading to the kitchen, Liu Qingshan ran up with an anxious look on his face.

Obviously, he had been waiting here for a long time.

"What happened?"

"Flying Eagle Fort, Iron Knife Gang, or the Liu family are here to cause trouble?"

Bai Yuan couldn't help but ask in confusion.

He is now an inner courtyard disciple of the Huwei Martial Arts School. When Wuwei Pavilion opened, Chu Yuan was there to support it. Apart from the three major forces, there is no reason for anyone else to dare to cause trouble in Wuwei Pavilion.

Liu Qingshan sighed softly.

"A strange customer came to the restaurant this morning. He was not satisfied with any dish that Chef Chen prepared."

"At first I thought he was looking for trouble, so I thought of sending two people to chase him away. But I didn't expect that the old man was so strong that I didn't even see how he attacked before the three strong men were knocked over."

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Although Liu Qingshan has left the martial arts hall, he is still a genuine outer courtyard disciple. Even he is so shocked, so the old man must be very powerful.

"Take me to see it."

Bai Yuan groaned for a moment, then walked into the restaurant with Liu Qingshan.

It was still the hour of Si, and there were not many customers in the restaurant, only six or seven tables.

One of them, an old man in gray sitting alone at a table, was particularly eye-catching. Although he looked quite old, he gave people a very young feeling, and his eyes were sharper than an eagle's.

Bai Yuan looked at it from afar and felt creepy, with his hair standing on end.

This person is very strong!

His tracking skills are now at the master level, and his perception of crisis is extremely sharp. The sense of danger this old man gives him is even greater than that of Old Man Xue.

This means that the old man sitting alone in the corner is at least a martial artist of the Qiangzang level!
Bai Yuan's eyebrows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river). He didn't remember that there was such a master in Qinghe County.

Although he had never seen the three powerful masters from the Iron Knife Gang, Flying Eagle Fort and Liu Family, he had seen their portraits and found that they were not the person in front of him.

"It should be a strong man from another county."

Bai Yuan pondered in his heart.

There is no way he can defeat him, not even his master, Old Man Xue, can do it.

However, since the other party has no intention of taking action for the time being, it proves that there is room for negotiation. This old man can be considered to have a rare "good temper" among the masters of Qiangzangguan.

"Old sir, I am the owner of this restaurant."

Bai Yuan walked forward and bowed politely to the old man.

"Are you the shopkeeper?"

The old man raised his head and glanced at Bai Yuan, then asked indifferently.

The closer Bai Yuan got to the old man, the more frightened he became. The old man in front of him might be even stronger than he imagined, so he didn't dare to neglect him.

"Exactly."

"It is said that the cooking skills of the owner of Wuwei Pavilion are the best in Qinghe, so I came here today to taste it."

Bai Yuan felt relieved.

As long as the other party is not really here to cause trouble, it's fine.

He is very confident in his cooking skills, even better than his martial arts skills.

"Does the old man have any dietary restrictions?"

"Nothing is forbidden."

As soon as Bai Yuan returned to the kitchen, Chef Chen, the most experienced chef in Wuweilou, came to greet him.

"Manager Bai, that person is clearly here to cause trouble for the restaurant."

Master Chen complained to Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan waved his hand: "Master Chen, what dishes did you serve him today?"

Although Chef Chen from Wuweilou is not as good as him in cooking, he is also an old hand who has been cooking for more than ten years and has 50% of his skills.

The old man was not even satisfied with Master Chen's craftsmanship, which showed that he must be a picky gourmet.

"Osmanthus fish, lotus leaf chicken, and stir-fried bamboo shoots." Bai Yuan frowned. These were all common dishes. The skills required were not too high. Master Chen's skills were enough.

"What did the guest say?"

“It’s hard to swallow.”

"."

Bai Yuan shook his head helplessly. Such diners have high standards and are the most difficult to entertain.

"Okay, help me out."

"The second shopkeeper wants to cook the food himself?"

Master Chen showed a surprised expression. Since the opening few days ago, the second manager of Wuweilou rarely cooked for outside guests. Today was an exception.

"Don't just stand there, go prepare the same three dishes, plus the herbs I wrote down for you."

As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, Bai Yuan seemed to have opened up his own absolute territory and his confidence increased.

Soon, the aroma wafted from the kitchen.

Many diners sitting in the front hall looked surprised.

The second shopkeeper of Wuweilou has taken action again?

Bai Yuan personally brought three plates of exquisite dishes to the wooden table in front of the old man.

"Old sir, please give me more advice."

The old man sniffed the fragrance, and the sharpness in his eyes eased a lot.

He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully. His brows unconsciously raised slightly. Then he picked up a piece of chicken, and then bamboo shoots. Finally, a smile appeared on his face, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were relaxed a lot.

Seeing the old man's look, Bai Yuan knew that today's crisis was resolved.

"You are quite capable in using herbs in cooking."

The old man rarely praises others. If his disciples saw it, they would be shocked.

As a warrior, the old man naturally knew the portion of this meal. This was not just a meal, it was clearly medicine. The benefits to a martial artist were self-evident.

The old man picked up his chopsticks faster and faster. In less than a moment, the three side dishes on the table were all cleared away.

"very nice."

He narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, then slowly stood up and pretended to leave, with no intention of paying the bill.

Facing an evil star who was at least strong enough to defend himself, Bai Yuan and Liu Qingshan had no intention of asking for money.

Just as the two were about to go forward to see him off——

The old man looked at Bai Yuan with a smile.

"You are actually practicing the Blood Tiger Blade, which is quite interesting. I never owe favors to anyone, so I will give you a few words as a meal payment."

"The Blood Tiger Knife's sword technique is pretty good. You can stay in the Bone Tempering for a while longer. It will definitely be of great benefit to temper your bones with evil spirit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man turned and left.

Bai Yuan's expression became solemn.

He didn't even make a move, but the old man could tell where he was coming from at a glance. His eyesight was truly terrifying.

Now that the Blood Tiger Knife has been discovered, what about the Tiger-Shaped Crane Style?
Bai Yuan didn't want to think about it any further. He just hoped that the old man would leave Qinghe County as soon as possible. At least he had no hostility towards him now.

锻骨
He thought back to what the old man had said.

This old man is extremely powerful, and what he said must have deep meaning. You can give it a try, and it might really have unexpected results.

Liu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old man's figure completely disappear.

"Junior Brother Bai, do you want to tell Master Xue about this?"

"Just pretend nothing happened."

Bai Yuan shook his head. Old Man Xue definitely couldn't beat the old man today. If Old Man Xue sent someone to investigate, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

A martial artist who is very likely to be stronger than an ordinary person has come to Qinghe County. Regardless of whether he is hostile or not, he will definitely cause a huge uproar in this small town.
