Shangguan Haitang shook the folding fan lightly and said with a smile.

"Why do you assert that I am from the grassland?"

Zhao Min's eyes froze, and he turned to look at Shangguan Haitang.

"Originally, I was only three-point certain, but now seeing your reaction, I have seven-point certainty."

"According to Miss Zhao's appearance, dress, extraordinary temperament revealed by her manners, innate second-level cultivation, and that sword, it is not difficult to see that Miss Zhao must be from a famous family."

Speaking of this, Shangguan Haitang looked at Zhao Min.

Seeing that she did not refute, Shangguan Haitang smiled slightly.

"I know a thing or two about all the famous ladies in the world. I don't think there are many who fit Miss Zhao's characteristics."

"Combined with Ms. Zhao's straightforward character, her love of dressing up as men, and the pseudonym 'Zhao Ming', it reminds me of the daughter of Mengyuan Ruyang Palace. "

"So, Miss Zhao should be Princess Zhao Min, right?"

Shangguan Haitang patted her palm with a folding fan, stared into Zhao Min's eyes and asked.

Zhao Min did not avoid her eyes, and also stared directly at Shangguan Haitang, as if she wanted to see through her.

After a while.

Zhao Min clapped his hands, smiled and praised: "I admire, I admire."

"The intelligence network of Hulong Villa is indeed powerful, and the intelligence and intelligence of Xuanzihao's first secret agent is even more well-deserved."

Zhao Min said leisurely again.

"How did Miss Zhao find out my identity?"

When Shangguan Haitang heard this, a look of surprise flashed on his face.

"Using the way of the other, return it to the other. How you deduce my identity is how I deduce your identity. It's just that I didn't expect that the famous No. [-] secret agent of Xuan Zihao was actually a woman."

Zhao Min smiled.

"Shangguan's surname, extraordinary handsomeness, four-fold congenital realm, and extraordinary knowledge. Combining these conditions, there is only Shangguan Haitang in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhao Min continued.

"Ms. Zhao is smarter than I thought. Since that's the case, I'll be blunt. I don't know why Ms. Zhao stays away from Meng Yuan and lives in seclusion in my small town of Daming?"

Shangguan Haitang said seriously.

Meng Yuan and Daming are hostile countries, and important figures like Zhao Min are existences that Hulong Villa must pay attention to.

"Hehe, if I said that I just wanted to go out to relax because I was tired of the court disputes. Would you believe me?"

After Zhao Min finished speaking, he stared into Shangguan Haitang's eyes.

Shangguan Haitang didn't answer right away, but looked deeply into Zhao Min's eyes.

After a while.

"I trust you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be alone."

Shangguan Haitang smiled.

"But I still hope that Ms. Zhao can keep her own place and not violate my Ming laws. Otherwise, it will cause disputes between the two countries, and the matter will be serious."

she continued.

"Don't worry, I just want to stay away from disputes and live a normal life."

Zhao Min sighed lightly.

"That would be the best. I also want to ask Miss Zhao about someone. Who is the owner of this inn, Mr. Lin?"

Shangguan Haitang took a sip of tea and asked again.

"Lin Hainan? Isn't he just a rich man whose family has fallen? It's just that he didn't know where he got twelve taels of gold, and he met me again, so he reopened the inn."

Zhao Min replied casually.

"A down-and-out rich son? How could he have such a high level of martial arts?"

Shangguan Haitang didn't quite believe it.

"Lin Hainan is good at martial arts? You must have misunderstood the person. How can he know any martial arts? He is afraid of my sword."

"However, the cooking skills are really good."

Zhao Min smiled slightly.

"So, he deliberately hid his cultivation..."

Shangguan Haitang showed a thoughtful expression.

Seeing this, Zhao Min was surprised. Shangguan Haitang's ingenuity would not have made such a big oolong.

"Did I go wrong?"

Zhao Minxiu frowned slightly.

"Miss Shangguan, I still have things to do, so I will take my leave first."

She stood up and said goodbye.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, please go ahead."

Shangguan Haitang smiled slightly.

As soon as Zhao Min opened the door, he caught sight of Lin Hainan's back hurriedly walking forward.

It turned out that Lin Hainan couldn't help his curiosity just now, and came to the door to eavesdrop on the movement inside.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Min came out before he could clearly hear the conversation between the two.

He had no choice but to pretend to be passing by, then quickly turned around and left.

"Boss Lin, what are you doing here sneakily?"

Zhao Min shouted.

Lin Hainan was startled, so he had to stop in embarrassment, and turned around slowly.

"Well, I'm just passing by, passing by."

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.

As soon as the words fell, he secretly scolded himself: "Now my martial arts are higher than him, what are you afraid of him?"

Thinking of this, he immediately straightened his back and coughed twice:

"Ahem, don't worry, I won't tell others about your affairs."

"Do you know who I am and Miss Shangguan?"

Zhao Min was taken aback.

Immediately, she thought that Lin Hainan must have been eavesdropping on their conversation just now.

"Well, in this regard, I am more open-minded than most people in the world."

In his previous life, he had heard a lot of such romantic things, and even had colleagues like this in the company.

So, he's no stranger to it.

"What about this and that?"

Zhao Min didn't understand.

"Hey, do I have to be explicit about this kind of thing? What I'm concerned about now is why my lunch hasn't come yet? I'm starving my eight-pack abs."

Lin Hainan suddenly remembered that he hadn't had lunch yet.

"Oh! I'm so busy today that I forgot about it. I'll ask Chen Er to send you some steamed buns right away."

Zhao Min patted his forehead, then hurriedly turned and went downstairs.

"Huh? Wowotou?"

Lin Hainan was speechless. When he became a boss, the food dropped to the level of the beggar gang.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew into his nostrils.

"Ah sneeze!"

Lin Hainan sneezed.

"The cold air is coming, no, I have to go to the kitchen to cook a warm dish."

Thinking of this, Lin Hainan hurried downstairs to the kitchen.

"Hey, boss, why are you here? I...I didn't steal it."

Aunt Li in the kitchen was at a loss when she saw him suddenly appear.

Lin Hainan had seen the oil stains on the corners of her mouth, but he didn't care at all.

Is there any cook in this world who doesn't steal food?

"Hehe, it's okay. I'm just hungry and want to make something to eat. You can do your work."

Lin Hainan waved his hand.

"Boss, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Aunt Li asked enthusiastically.

"I want to eat mapo tofu."

Lin Hainan said.

"Calling broken tofu? What kind of dish is this?"

Aunt Li was a little confused.

Chapter 10

"I almost forgot, this dish was only introduced in the Qing Dynasty. Forget it, let me do it myself."

Lin Hainan slapped his forehead and muttered to himself.

"Aunt Li, help me prepare a piece of tofu and cut it into cubes the size of your thumb."

"Prepare: garlic sprouts, beef mince, watercress, chili powder and pepper powder, soy sauce, sugar, starch."

He gave orders to Aunt Li.

"Okay, I'll be fine soon."

Aunt Li started to get busy.

After a while, these things were placed in front of Lin Hainan.

Lin Hainan rolled up his sleeves and started working.

Aunt Li watched curiously.

She was ready for a while to clean up the mess.

A delicate son like the boss can also cook?

But looking at it, she opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"Boss's skills are simply better than the chefs in Yihongyuan!"

She was shocked.

After a while, a strong fragrance wafted out of the pot.

Even Aunt Li felt her appetite whetted.

Lin Hainan took a deep sniff with satisfaction, and then put the pot of mapo tofu on the plate.

"Boss, that, can I have a sip?"

Aunt Li muttered.

Lin Hainan smiled slightly, picked up the spoon, and gave her two pieces of tofu.

Aunt Li blew expectantly, then put the tofu in her mouth.

In an instant, the spicy aroma, smooth texture, and umami flavor of minced beef all attacked Aunt Li's taste buds.
