My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 366: The Magical MSG

Anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that this time around, the Gathering Treasure Pavilion is helping the Moonlit Pavilion restaurant become more famous.

The higher the price offered by the Drunken Immortal and the so-called MSG, the more famous the Moonlit Pavilion becomes.

But who would have expected the supposed competitor, Start Seizing Tower, to voluntarily offer a high price? Except for Qin Feng and his group, everyone’s minds were filled with such speculations.

The price of one hundred thousand taels exceeded the expectations of most of the people present. 

Naturally, Drunken Immortal and MSG fell into the hands of the old man.

After the last hammer fell, the old man glanced at Qin Feng, smiled faintly, and then left the auction.

‘He knows that I am the owner of the Moonlit Pavilion Restaurant in the capital. He is trying to express his goodwill to me on behalf of the behind-the-scenes manager of Star Seizing Tower.’ With this single glance, Qin Feng understood.

The auction had ended successfully. As she listened to the departing people discussing the upcoming New Year’s celebration, Ya’an turned her head to Qin Feng. 

“When can you produce the fireworks you mentioned earlier?”

Qin Feng thought for a moment. The Divine Workshop had already successfully developed the gunpowder, but it still needed time for testing and mass production. The matter of the fireworks would have to wait until after that.

“It will take some time. What’s the rush?”

“Before I present the fireworks to the emperor, I have to send someone to test them.” Ya’an frowned slightly. She had the feeling that the matter of the fireworks was not very reliable.

“Why the hurry? It’s still more than a month until the New Year. I will definitely bring you the fireworks before then.” Qin Feng replied casually.

Ya’an’s expression darkened. “A gift for the emperor cannot be taken lightly!”

“Uh…” Qin Feng suddenly realized. Indeed, giving a gift to the Emperor was not the same as giving a gift to a leader. If you messed up giving a gift to a leader, at most, you would face some inconvenience. But if you messed up giving a gift to the Emperor, you might have to move your entire residence.

“I understand. I will give you the actual product as soon as possible.”

With this answer, Ya’an’s expression improved slightly. “After this auction, the reputation of Moonlit Pavilion will also spread among the officials of Great Qian. With the help of Start Seizing Tower, once Moonlit Pavilion opens, many dignitaries will surely come eagerly. When do you plan to start the business?”

Qin Feng replied, “I have already sent people to spread the news about Moonlit Pavilion. Now, there is only one step left before the official opening.”

“What step is that?” Ya’an asked curiously.

Qin Feng smiled meaningfully, “Tomorrow, you will know.”

After maneuvering through the twists and turns of Imperial City, the old man who had purchased Drunken Immortal and MSG disappeared into an alley as if he had vanished into thin air.

On the other side, in the private room of a brothel, a man dressed in luxurious white sat with a smile on his face, looking at a piece of white paper in his hand. “Visiting a brothel for the second time, indulging yourself without regret, how lustful. I never thought that Brother Qin and I would be kindred spirits, no wonder you can write such enchanting poems.”

“But this evaluation is biased. A gentleman appreciates beauty, a common sentiment among people. How can it be described as lustful? That’s unjust.”

Saying this, the man lifted the chin of a nearby beauty.

At that moment, the old man appeared out of nowhere.

The man’s movements paused, then he gave a signal, and the shy girl reluctantly stepped back.

“Did you buy everything?”

“Yes, sir,” the old man replied respectfully, taking out the Drunken Immortal and the MSG can.

The lid of the wine jar was opened and the smell of wine filled the air.

After finishing a cup, the man couldn’t help but sigh, “People in Imperial City all say that Drunken Immortal can be compared to the Drunken Dream of the Start Seizing Tower, but in my opinion, the two are not comparable at all.

“This wine should only exist in heaven, and how rare it is for mortals to taste it. Brother Qin, who brewed this wine, is truly remarkable.”

“Hmm? What’s in this little jar?”

The old man replied, “According to the auctioneer, this thing is called MSG. It has a flavor-enhancing effect. Sprinkle some on any food and it will be incredibly delicious.”

“Did Brother Qin also invent this?” the man asked curiously.

“I’m not sure, but this item was indeed auctioned along with the Drunken Immortal under the name of Moonlit Pavilion.”

“Interesting. Lin Lao, go instruct the kitchen staff to prepare some dishes, all of which must be sprinkled with this thing.”

Lin Lao looked hesitant, “You’ve been out for too long. If you don’t go back soon, there might be trouble.”

“It’s okay. Eating a few dishes won’t take much time.”

“I understand,” Lin Lao said reluctantly.

Not long after, exquisite dishes were brought into the room.

The man picked up his chopsticks and widened his eyes.

This brothel belongs to him, and he has eaten these dishes countless times, but today the taste is completely different.

He excitedly grabbed the seasoning jar and said, “My mother has developed an aversion to food and finds everything tasteless. Even the Thunder Rabbit from before, she takes a bite and doesn’t eat any more. If the royal cook adds this thing to the meals, perhaps it can restore my mother’s appetite.”

“Master, is that thing really so magical?”

“Try it for yourself. In my opinion, this so-called MSG is more valuable than the Drunken Immortal.”

Lin Lao immediately picked up a chopstick and praised, “This is indeed better than any food I’ve ever had. Whoever owns this thing could probably become a great chef.”

Shaking the MSG in his hand with interest, the man asked, “When will Brother Qin’s Moonlit Pavilion open for business?”

The old man pondered for a moment before replying, “They’re using the auction of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion to build momentum for the Moonlit Pavilion. In my opinion, it should happen in the next few days.”

The man, deep in thought, replied, “I have to go to the Grand Literature Academy to study with the teacher in the next few days. It looks like Brother Qin’s restaurant will have to wait until after that.”

After leaving the auction, Qin Feng arrived at the Divine Workshop accompanied by Ningshuang.

Normally, the Divine Workshop was open to the public, but now it was closed to ordinary people.

Qin Feng understood that this was a precautionary measure taken by the old man to prevent information about gunpowder from leaking out.

The man guarding the Divine Workshop respectfully called him “Master Qin” and led him into the courtyard.

Nowadays, within the Divine Workshop, Qin Feng’s status was second only to the old man.

Moreover, whenever Qin Feng was about to start a class, the old man’s status would be slightly lowered.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they could feel the ground shaking continuously.

“Young master, it seems like an earthquake?” Lan Ningshuang shouted in surprise.

The man smiled and replied, “Miss Lan, don’t worry. This is Master Yuan testing the gunpowder that Master Qin invented earlier. The Divine Workshop has been like this for the past few days, and we’ve gotten used to it.”

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, “How far along is the production of gunpowder now?”

“The success rate of the explosions is now close to one hundred percent, and we have already begun mass production. As for the specific situation, Master Qin, you’ll know once you go inside,” the man explained.
