470 Shocking Secret (3)
They had already obtained one of the four herbs. Next was the snow toad.
At dawn, Yu Wan went to Xixia Garden and said to the old man ditating under the porch, “Grandma? Where’s the snow toad?”
The old man slowly opened his eyes.
The old man did not expect the Red Lingzhi to co so easily. The progress he had imagined was more than twice as fast. Speaking of which, luck accounted for most of it. Thinking about how this girl could even obtain the holy artifact of Nanzhao in a daze, it did not seem strange for her to have another Lingzhi.
Luck was sothing that others could not envy.
“In the Imperial Capital too.” The old man answered Yu Wan’s question. “The last ti I heard news of the snow toad was a few years ago. At that ti, it was consecrated in a Gu Temple. I don’t rember which Gu Temple it was. I have to ask around.”
“The Gu Temple.” Yu Wan touched her chin. During this period of ti, she had co and gone in Nanzhao and understood a lot of the customs and norms of the Capital. She naturally knew what this Gu Temple was. It was similar to the temples in the Central Plains. The difference was that the temples in the Central Plains worshiped Bodhisattva, but the Gu Temple in Nanzhao worshiped the Gu God.
Well, she had lived for two lifetis but had never been to the Gu Temple.
“Then should we still go to Juxian Restaurant to ask for information?” Yu Wan asked the old man.
The old man nodded.
The reason why they did not investigate at once was because it was easy to guess that the two herbs were going to detoxify the poison of the Fragrance of Hundred Miles. Not everyone had this kind of poison. If they were not careful, it would be easy to find out that it was Yan Jiuchao.
Yu Wan’s lips curled up slightly. “Then I’ll go call Qing Yan and Jiang Hai.”
Yue Gou walked out with a dark expression. He expressed that he wanted to go too. They had always left him in the manor. He was almost bored out of his wits.
Yu Wan could choose to bring Yan Jiuchao along. This way, no one would have to stay in the manor. However, Yan Jiuchao had slept late last night. Yu Wan did not want to wake him up, so after so thought, she left Qing Yan behind.
Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qing Yan. Haha.
Yu Wan said to Jiang Hai, “You stay too.”
Jiang Hai : “…”
Yu Wan changed into n’s clothes and went out with Yue Gou. Yue Gou did not talk much and went out with her.
They arrived at Juxian Restaurant. As it was not ti for dinner, there were not many custors in the building. Yu Wan asked for a seat in the hall and ordered a table of his favorite thin bean noodles for Yue Gou.
Yu Wan only found out about such a snack when she ca to Nanzhao. The diluted bean powder was made of peas. First, soak the peas for eight to ten hours before making it into a pulp. The first ti it was ground, it was called the first pulp. Separate the head pulp two hours later and ground it for the second ti. What was obtained was the clear pulp. The clear pulp was added to clear water and vegetable oil. Stir and boil it with a wooden stick until a thread is made. A bowl of delicious diluted bean noodles was fresh out of the oven.
The thin bean noodles were mostly salty. They could be accompanied by green onions and special pickled vegetables. The taste was first-rate.
Yue Gou was strong. At first glance, Yu Wan thought that he liked to drink in big bowls and eat at in big mouthfuls. Later on, she realized that he did not drink at all and was a vegetarian.
Yue Gou started eating. Yu Wan was not used to thin bean noodles, so she asked for a few plates of vegetables and snacks. The waiter who was entertaining them today was not the original one, but it was fine. There was an endless stream of custors in Juxian Restaurant, so the waiter might not rember them.
“Sir, the dishes have been served. Do you want anything else?” The waiter placed the cold dishes and snacks on the table.
Yu Wan’s gaze landed on the bowls and plates. “I didn’t order so much, right?”
The waiter smiled and said, “Soone’s treat.”
This was strange. They had just entered the Capital and did not have a single friend. However, they had a lot of grudges. Who would treat them to a al? Yu Wan looked in the direction the waiter was pointing and saw a girl in purple and a purple veil standing at the railing on the second floor. Who else could it be but Dong Xian’er?
Dong Xian’er looked at Yu Wan with interest and gave her an incomparable wink. Yu Wan did not dare to underestimate her again. After all, how could soone who could decorate a box with a hundred Gu beads in one go be an ordinary person?
The courtesan of a brothel? It was probably just a cover. However, since they had t, it would be unreasonable not to greet her.
Yu Wan said, “Yue Gou, let’s go upstairs.”
Yue Gou did not waste anything. He drained the thin bean noodles in his bowl in one go, wiped his mouth, and went upstairs with Yu Wan.
Yu Wan was not so delusional as to think that Dong Xian’er was following her. The truth was indeed so. Dong Xian’er was waiting for an old friend in Juxian Restaurant. Unexpectedly, she t Yu Wan instead.
“Young Master, we et again.” Dong Xian’er bowed slowly.
