Qiao Chen has no other skills and opened a small restaurant next to the official road to provide passers-by with hot tea and hot meals.

The restaurant is located in a remote place, with mountains everywhere, but because it is close to the official road and there are many passers-by, so it is not worried about not having business.

It was raining heavily, there were sporadic pedestrians on the road, and there were no customers in the store. Qiao Chen leaned against the door and was napping.

Suddenly, three thin men came in outside the door.

"Shopkeeper, come twenty kilograms of cooked meat and six kilograms of good wine!"

"Okay! Come now!" Qiao Chen hurriedly agreed.

When the customer came to the door, Qiao Chen was happy and turned around and asked, "Three guests, are you going to take it away?"

"What are you taking it away? Just eat it here!"

Qiao Chen was surprised. The three of them actually wanted to eat twenty kilograms of cooked meat. Is the belly made of a big jar?

Then, in a confused look, he went to the kitchen to instruct the chef to cook the meat.

After a while, Qiao Chen brought a large pot of cooked meat to the table and brought another jar of good wine.

"Please use it slowly for three people. Please greet me if you have anything to do!"

He sat aside, looking at the three of them from time to time, wanting to know how the three of them finished twenty kilograms of cooked meat.

Unexpectedly, the three of them picked up the cooked meat and chewed it, eating and drinking, and soon they ate it clean.

Qiao Chen was stunned, rubbing his eyes unbelievable, and muttering in his heart:

"Mom, if anyone who came to me to eat like you, I would have become rich long ago!"

When he was surprised, one of the men touched his stomach and said, "I've eaten half full."

"What! I'm only half full!" Qiao Chen had nothing to say.

"It's already an adventure to go down the mountain this time. It's going to be late, so it's time to leave."

"That's right."

"Let's go."

three of them put a ingot of silver on the table, and they didn't ask for money, so they got up and went out.

Qiao Chen hurriedly picked up the silver to check it out. It was more than three taels and said happily: "These three are generous!"

After an hour, it was still raining outside, and suddenly another old man came in.

"Shopkeeper, two plates of side dishes, a pot of good wine!"

"Okay! Wait!"

wait for the wine and dishes to be served, and the old Taoist asked Qiao Chen while eating.

"Shopkeeper, you have any strange people coming and going to visit every day?"

"Strange people? This is hard to say..."

Then he suddenly thought of three people a hour ago and said, "That's right, three strange people came not long ago."

Old Taoist raised his eyebrows: "Three people? Tell me quickly, how strange?"

"The three people looked thin, but they had a lot of appetite and alcohol. After eating twenty kilograms of cooked meat and six kilograms of wine, they even said they were half full. Are you surprised?"

Old Taoist immediately came to his heart and asked, "Where are they going?"

"It seems that they went into the mountain when they left the door. Maybe it was a villager from a mountain village." Qiao Chen guessed.

Old congratulations and thought for a moment: "Shopkeeper, I have a secret recipe for stewing mutton here. I won from the retired chef in my early years."

Although Qiao Chen doesn't take care of the spoon, he is still very proficient in cooking. When he is interested, he asks: "What is unique about this secret recipe?"

"Hehe, this secret recipe is called 'Shili Xiang'. When stewing mutton, the fragrance spreads ten miles. I want to pass this recipe to you."

Qiao Chen asked in surprise: "Master, you and I have never lived forever, why do you want to hand over this secret recipe to me?"

Old teachings He smiled and said, "First, I can see that you have always been kind to others and want to help you. Second, I want to ask you to do a little favor."

"What's the matter?"

"You launch this dish, I guarantee that you will have a lot of customers and make money every day. But if you meet those three people in the restaurant for dinner, you must give him the spices for stewed lamb and ask him to go home and stew it yourself."

Jiao Chen and the second monk were confused and asked, "Why?"

The old Taoist looked mysterious and said, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."

Qiao Chen thought, and had nodded and agreed, "Okay Taoist priest, I remember it.""

Then the old man took out a piece of paper, which was densely filled with dozens of spices, and there were usages and dosages below.

Qiao Chen also saw that it was not simple and was eager to try: "I'll try it now! "

After saying that, he ran to the kitchen to count it, and asked the old Taoist to sit down and go out to buy spices.

Not long after, Qiao Chen came back and followed the steps above the secret recipe to stew mutton step by step. After two hours, the mutton soup was released. It was indeed extremely fragrant and delicious.

Qiao Chen was excited: "Oh! It tastes so good! Taoist priest, you really didn't lie to me! "

" The monks don't tell lies. This mutton soup is enough to make your small restaurant famous, so you can make use of it very well. I have recently lived in Yunkelai Inn, Qingfeng Town, twenty miles away. If those three people come and leave the spices, please tell me immediately, don’t break your trust! "

" I understand! Taoist priest. "

The next day, Qiao Chen's restaurant launched a new dish - stewed mutton with Shilixiang. Passersby were attracted by the fragrance and praised it.

In less than a few days, Qiao Chen's restaurant was full of customers and had a reputation. Many people even heard that they came to taste it specially. There were long queues outside the door.

In the middle of the night, Qiao Chen had closed the door and counted the money in the room. The chef was his nephew, so he was quite trustworthy.

The two were counting happily and heard someone outside slapping the door: "Shopkeeper! Open the door quickly! Business is coming! "

Qiao Chen said a little unhappy: "Callant, I'm sorry! The shop is closed, please come again tomorrow! "

" The three of us made a special trip down the mountain to eat mutton! It’s not easy to take a trip, so we can ask the shopkeeper for peace of mind. We will pay ten times more! "

When Qiao Chen heard the price ten times, he immediately changed into a smile and ran to open the door.

The three people who entered the door were no one else, but the three tall and thin men who ate twenty kilograms of cooked meat last time.

" It turns out they were you three! Please inside! "Qiao Chen asked the three of them to sit down.

" Three people, how many pounds of mutton are there? "

" I heard that you have recently launched a new dish that tastes delicious, and we have long been greedy! This time, we will have sixty kilograms of mutton and another ten kilograms of good wine! "

" OK! However, there are ready-made raw mutton, but it only needs to be cooked freshly. Please wait for more than an hour and use some fried peanuts first. "

Qiao Chen and his nephew rushed to the kitchen to work, put the ingredients into the pot and cooked meat. After more than an hour, they carried two large basins on the table.

"Wow! It smells so good! "The three of them were salivating, and regardless of the hot soup, they picked up the chopsticks and spoon and started eating.

The three of them ate and drank, and they actually ate sixty kilograms of meat, soup and water! Qiao Chen was so scared that he bit his finger and said, "I have a big appetite! Too big appetite! "

After eating, the three of them patted their belly, looking satisfied: "It's so delicious! Unfortunately, I can't go down the mountain to eat often! Why not bring some to your home? "

Qiao Chen remembered the old Taoist's instructions and hurriedly said, "The three of you took care of my business several times. I am very grateful. If I want to eat it frequently but can't go down the mountain, I have a way. What is the solution to "

"? "

" I will make the spices, and you three will take them back. Just add water and spices to make mutton by yourself at home. Although it is not as good as the mutton I have carefully cooked step by step, it is always no less. "

" is a great idea! "

The three of them were overjoyed and immediately took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to Qiao Chen, asking him to prepare a large bag of spices, and went out happily.

Qiao Chen saw the three of them walking away, and hurriedly said to his nephew: "I'll go to Qingfeng Town, you can guard the store!" "

He hurried to Yunkelai Inn in Qingfeng Town, found the old Taoist, and told the three of them that they had taken the spice bag away.

The old Taoist slapped his thigh: "Okay! You can chase the old nest now and catch them together! "

Qiao Chen was puzzled when he heard this: "Master, what should I catch? "

" You don't know about this, so I'll leave first! "

The old Taoist did not answer, and went out to ride a horse and rushed to the deep mountains, leaving Qiao Chen with a puzzled look.

Three days later, the old Taoist drove a carriage to pass by Qiao Chen's door, stopped the carriage and entered, and ordered a few side dishes.

Qiao Chen said gratefully: "Thanks to your secret recipe for Taoist Master, you see my place all day long, I am so happy."

The old Taoist was proud and whispered: "I want to thank you too for helping me catch those monsters!"

"Monster? What monsters?"

The old Taoist said with his ears: "The six wolf demons in the mountains! They have cultivated into human form and are cunning in nature. I have been tracked several times by them. Fortunately, you have finally caught them this time!"

Qiao Chen became more and more confused: "I haven't helped me!"

"The three thin men are male wolf. changes, they secretly went down the mountain to eat wine and meat, I found the traces, and I passed on your secret recipe again, attracting them down the mountain again, you gave them spices, and after they returned to their nest, they really made mutton by themselves. "

Qiao Chen was shocked, and the old Taoist whispered, "My nose is famous for being a spirit! I searched in the mountains for two days and two nights, and finally smelled the unique secret recipe mutton soup. Following this smell, I found their nest, and I caught them all! Hahaha!"

Qiao Chen suddenly realized: "So that's it..."

After saying that, the old Taoist stood up and left.乔辰看着老道沉重的马车，这才知道，里面关押着六只狼妖，心中一时滋味万千，颇为同情。

“唉！总归他三人是我的顾客，也不曾害我，倒是我害了他们，惭愧啊……”
