The shopkeeper didn't know if this Huo Zhongxi in front of him was the type of person who had real ability, or if he was just trying to attract attention.

Therefore, when he heard him identify the raw materials for the black vegetables, he was actually not very optimistic about it. Who knew if this person was real or fake?

Could it be that he was trying to gain the attention of the crowd by being unable to tell the difference at all?

All this is possible.

After all, this was something that the Demon Chef's successor had cooked!

"Hehe, other than Huo Zhongxi, I have also brought my personal doctor with me." Hearing that, He Jinlan laughed, then pointed at the person seated down and introduced.

After all, compared to Huo Ran, Liu Xinyue trusted him more.

If he could transfer the focus on Liu Xinyue to Huo Ran, that would be even better.

"I didn't expect Madam He to bring two doctors over at once. It seems that the auction is inevitable."

The shopkeeper glanced at him and said with a smile, since the man was already famous in the capital, there was no need for him to do any more introductions.

Seeing that the shopkeeper's words were not as he expected, the smile on He Jinlan's face froze for a moment, but quickly recovered and continued: "This time, I did come here for a few medicinal ingredients, and also decided to rely on bidding."

He Jinlan's words were somewhat subtle, he had actually planned to rely on the herbs, but since that was the case, why did he bring Liu Xinyue along?

What was the purpose of her bringing Liu Xinyue here? Was it just to bring him here to see the world?

Unable to help it, everyone looked at Liu Xinyue with a hint of schadenfreude and ridicule in their eyes, as if they were watching a joke.

"Uncle Fu, ask that Huo Zhongxi has anything to do with the black vegetables."

Behind a screen that no one could see, the white clothed man suddenly spoke to the shopkeeper's cold voice.

The shopkeeper was stunned at first, but then quickly replied, "Yes, boss."

Although he agreed very quickly, in his heart, he was constantly muttering, "Why did the boss suddenly open his mouth?" And the target was even doing it for that Huo Zhongxi?

The boss obviously said these words to help Huo Zhongxi. Could it be that the two of them already knew each other? Or had the boss taken a fancy to his ability?

"Then, Doctor Huo Zhongxi, I still have the same question as before. Can you really tell what the ingredients are?"

The shopkeeper quickly pulled the topic back from He Jinlan to Liu Xinyue.

"Yes, shopkeeper."

In fact, seeing He Jinlan's actions, Liu Xinyue was a little angry in her heart. Even if she really did plan to come here and take a look, to meet someone, there was no need to belittle someone else, right?

If the shopkeeper did not stand up to ask, then Liu Xinyue would not be able to speak, and could only allow He Jinlan to do so. But now that the shopkeeper had stood up, then she would have a reason to speak.

"Then, Dr. Huo, can you tell me the raw materials for the next dish?"

The shopkeeper nodded and continued to ask. After hearing the other party admit to it, he became more serious this time, no longer being perfunctory like before. After all, the storekeeper had personally spoken for this person.

This signified the degree of importance the boss placed on Liu Xinyue.

"Shopkeeper, we don't even need the Dr. Huo to tell us what the raw materials for the black vegetables are. Why don't we let him say it?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Xinyue still hadn't answered, but He Jinlan had answered first, and he had even answered with a sense of urgency.

Not to mention He Jinlan, even his face had a proud expression, and looking at him, it seemed like he was about to stand up and answer.

"Sure."

Just that, Liu Xinyue would not let Huo Ran have the chance to speak, she quickly stood up from her seat and answered.

This caused him, who had just gotten his butt out of the seat and was halfway to his feet, to suddenly freeze on the spot, as if he was petrified.

After that, he returned to the praying mat slowly with a dark expression.

, who was at the side, naturally also had a somewhat dissatisfied look on his face. However, seeing that Liu Xinyue had already stood up, she could only watch as countless plans flashed past her mind.

"I've just tasted this black dish and discovered that the raw material for this dish is actually not any kind of dish. Rather, it is formed from five different medicinal ingredients."

Liu Xinyue did not look at the expression on He Jinlan's and Huo Rulie's face as he said this to the shopkeeper slowly.

"And these five medicinal herbs are: Persimmon, Black Sunflower, Ginseng, Heaven Leaf Grass, and... Snake shaped grass. "

At the beginning, when the shopkeeper heard Liu Xinyue say that the raw materials for the Dark Vegetable were five Chinese medicinal herbs, his heart couldn't help but jump. Because these were the ingredients that he personally picked, he was very clear about the Black Vegetable.

But very quickly, the shopkeeper comforted himself, maybe Liu Xinyue was just lucky enough to meet a dead rat, maybe the five ingredients she mentioned were all wrong?

And then, when he heard about the five types of ingredients that Liu Xinyue had mentioned, at first, the shopkeeper thought that he was mistaken, but when he heard them one after another, he started to panic.

When all five ingredients were answered correctly, the shopkeeper was completely stunned.

There was actually someone who could distinguish the dishes cooked by the Demon Chef's successor?

"Is this for real …?" The manager couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Manager, I'm done." When Liu Xinyue saw the shopkeeper move his mouth, he thought the shopkeeper was talking about something and couldn't help but to remind him.

"Alright, mr howe, please take a seat."

The shopkeeper came back to reality and waved his hand to Liu Xinyue.

The people present did not expect Liu Xinyue to be able to distinguish between the black vegetables, and he said it so clearly and clearly. Furthermore, he even identified five different medicinal ingredients at once.

After all, even though he said that it was the end of his speech, he still sounded like the end of it. As for whether he was telling the truth, it was impossible for them to know.

"Shopkeeper, was what Dr. Huo said right? Can you give me a precise answer?"

The one who spoke was Chong De, because he couldn't bear to see He Jinlan, who clearly was a concubine, but considered himself to be a wife. Naturally, he didn't like the Liu Xinyue she brought over as well.

Therefore, he stood up to ask for confirmation from the shopkeeper because he wanted him to say that what Liu Xinyue said just now was wrong.
