Although he knew Zhou Jianlai looked miserable and shouldn't laugh, Zhang Xiaozu couldn't hold it back because the way Zhou Jianlai breathed fire looked like a street acrobat.
The other three people couldn't help but laugh.
"Bullshit."
Du Keyi glared at Zhou Jianlai.
But there was no anger in her eyes, instead they shone with surprise.
When Zhou Jianlai saw the look in Du Keyi's eyes, the corners of his eyes twitched hard.
Based on his understanding of Du Keyi, Du Keyi has discovered something interesting, and given her character, she definitely wants to try it herself.
"Haha...it doesn't feel that good either."
After Zhou Jianlai stopped coughing, he put down his teacup angrily and smiled.
"real?"
Qian Ruoyun asked curiously.
"Really!" Zhou Jianlai nodded affirmatively, "You might as well give it a try."
It was just the look in his eyes that was waiting for a good show that betrayed his true inner thoughts.
Qian Ruoyun noticed Zhou Jianlai's evil intentions and shook his head with a smile.
Then he put away the teapot.
There are too few tea leaves, and the taste will be weak if you brew it again.
He was reluctant to throw away the tea leaves in the teapot, and planned to make another pot for himself when he got home.
In the end, the tea leaves will not be thrown away, but will be dried in the sun. When you have nothing to do, take a piece and put it in your mouth to chew, and your mouth will still be filled with the fragrance of tea.
Qian Ruoyun took out another teapot and started brewing blue blood blue. At the same time, he asked Zhang Xiaozu and the four of them to drink some cold water and rinse their mouths in preparation for tasting the new tea.
There are also many things to pay attention to when brewing this green blood blue brew, but it is not as novel as Fengjianer.
The tea leaves are oval in shape and become crystal clear and as blue as jade when unfolded in water.
The red leaf veins are clearly visible, like blood vessels flowing through them.
As the water boils, blue juice slowly floats out from the leaves, and the red leaf veins also flow out red juice.
Weirdly, red and blue don't mix.
The red color is still like blood, meandering in the blue tea.
"please."
"Be careful of burning."
Qian Ruoyun put down the teapot, made an inviting gesture to Zhang Xiaozhu and the other two, and reminded them that this tea was different from Fengjian'er, so they didn't dare to drink it like before.
The four of them picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then they all looked at the tea in the cup and frowned, because a fishy-sweet smell spread out from the entrance of the tea, a bit like the taste of blood.
However, the sweet and fishy taste quickly dissipated, and a refreshing aroma of grass emerged in the mouth.
The fragrance is very light, but it gives people a very comfortable feeling.
It's like being in the wilderness in the warm spring season, with the breeze blowing and the fragrance of grass blowing on your body, making every pore in your body relax comfortably, and you can't help but feel relaxed and happy, and intoxicated.
In addition to the refreshing fragrance of tea, there is also a faint sense of the Great Law flowing in the mouth as the tea flows.
But the rules are fragmented and difficult for people to understand.
"How does it taste?" Qian Ruoyun asked.
"The fragrance is soft and gentle, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, with endless aftertaste, but the taste in the mouth is unpleasant at first," Zhang Xiaozhu gave his own evaluation.
Zhou Jianlai and the other three nodded in agreement.
Qian Ruoyun said: "It is said that this green blood blue grew in the cemetery of the ancient immortals and was born by absorbing the flesh and blood of the ancient immortals, so it smells like blood, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
Ye Mingyue frowned and said, "It sounds a bit disgusting."
Zhou Jianlai said: "It's not as delicious as Fengjian'er, but... the laws of the great path contained in this green blood blue tea, although extremely fragmented and messy, can obviously be felt to be stronger than Fengjian'er. I wonder if the laws in the high-grade green blood blue tea will be the same."
Will it be more complete?"
Qian Ruoyun's cheeks turned red, and he shook his head and replied: "I have never tasted the high-grade Blue Blood Tea, but I heard that the Dao Law in high-grade tea is far superior to that of low-grade tea, including Fengjian'er."
"Is there any way to get some? Price is not an issue." Zhang Xiaozu asked.
Qian Ruoyun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I am just a concubine in the family, and my cultivation qualifications are extremely ordinary, so I basically have no say in the family. For core materials such as top-grade Fengjian'er and Blue Blood Blue, I can't even
I don't even have the qualifications to ask." At the end of his sentence, his voice was extremely low, not only out of inferiority, but also because he was worried that Zhang Xiaozhu and the other four would despise him after knowing his identity as a concubine.
He dodged his eyes, not daring to look at Zhang Xiaozu and the other four, but while dodging, he was observing their expressions and reactions.
Zhang Xiaozhu smiled and said bluntly: "Don't worry, there is no distinction between concubine and concubine in our eyes, so we won't be prejudiced against you just because you are a concubine."
"Thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Ruoyun bowed gratefully to Zhang Xiaopeng and the other four.
He felt that he might really meet someone noble this time.
After calming down his excitement, Qian Ruoyun looked at Zhang Xiaozu and said, "I have a humble status and cannot get the top-grade Feng Jian'er and Bi Xue Lan, but you can, Mr. Zhang."
"Me?" Zhang Xiaozu was puzzled.
"If Mr. Zhang can get a good ranking in this competition, the Qian family will definitely take the initiative to make friends with him, not to mention offering him high-quality tea." Qian Ruoyun said firmly.
Zhang Xiaozu smiled and shook his head.
It's not that he doesn't have the confidence to get a good ranking, but he won't accept such a free gift, because if he accepts it, he will be in debt.
The most difficult thing in the world to repay is the word "favor".
Qian Ruoyun guessed what Zhang Xiaozhu was thinking, and felt even more that Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't see through it, and even the wealthy families in Paradise City looked down upon him.
After chatting with Qian Ruoyun for a while, they agreed to go to Qian's Tea House to buy tea at noon tomorrow, and the four of them got up and left.
Qian Ruoyun sent Zhang Xiaopeng and the others downstairs, watched the four figures go away, then hurriedly returned to the room and put some of the leftover food into the void space.
"They are all top-quality dishes. I wouldn't dare to order them on weekdays. I took them back for my mother to try."
“Although it’s leftover food, I can still taste it.”
"After I make a lot of money, I will treat my mother to a good meal and eat all the most expensive dishes in Paradise City. No, I will eat it until I don't want to eat it anymore."
Qian Ruoyun muttered to himself as he put away the leftovers.
A happy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He had identified Zhang Xiaopou as the destined noble man and felt that he was about to make a fortune.
"He is a filial son."
Zhang Xiaopou, who had not yet gone far, heard Qian Ruoyun's soliloquy in a subtle state of mind, and secretly praised him in his heart.
The four of them did not rush back to the inn, but walked slowly along the street.
"I went to the registration office and changed my name to Zhang Dayong to prevent Feng Sijun from finding out. In addition, I think we need to change our appearance a little bit..."
Zhang Xiaozu sent a message to Zhou Jianlai and the others about his worries.
"We were indeed careless."
"It's just that...if you change your appearance now, will it arouse Feng Sijun's suspicion?"
Zhou Jianlai frowned.
"There is a way." Du Keyi said, "On the way to Yueyang Tower, I saw a small stall on the side of the road that painted people's faces. Let's go and ask the stall owner to paint people's faces so that they can hide their appearance."
"This is a good idea." Zhang Xiaozu nodded.
Zhou Jianlai and Ye Mingyue also nodded in agreement.
The four of them were immediately led by Du Keyi and hurried away to the face-painting stall.
It was almost late at night, and they were afraid that the stall owner had already closed the stall.
Fortunately, not really.
The stall owner's business seems to be very good. It's already so late, and there are still three people waiting in line in front of the stall.
Zhang Xiaozhu knew why his business was so good after watching the stall owner paint a girl. The girl originally had small eyes, a flat nose, a face of freckles, and a very average appearance, or a bit ugly.
After retracing the drawings, it was like a new face, which looked ten times better than before.
"This is obviously the art of disguise." Zhang Xiaozhu muttered in his heart, "But I have to say, the skill is really good."
Half an hour later it was finally the four of them's turn. Zhou Jianlai walked over first and sat down.
"How do you want to draw, little brother?"
The stall owner asked while observing Zhou Jianlai's face.
"You can draw whatever you want, as long as you cover your face." Zhou Jianlai replied nonchalantly.
"Okay." The stall owner responded quickly.
He first stared at Zhou Jianlai's face for a while, then opened the tool box and took out several bottles and jars, poured a little bit of powder of various colors into several bowls, and then asked: "What do you want, brother?"
Do you want it to stay on longer, or can it be washed off easily?”
"Leave it on longer and it's not easy to wash off." Zhou Jianlai said.
The stall owner nodded, took out a bottle filled with transparent liquid from the toolbox, uncorked the bottle and dropped a few drops into several bowls, then mixed it with a little water and mixed it thoroughly to turn it into paints of various colors.
Finally, I picked up the paintbrush and started painting on Zhou Jianlai's face.
He drew a sharp sword on the left side of Zhou Jianlai's face.
The black scabbard, dark red hilt, and silver sword body were slightly exposed, reflecting a cold light.
This is a sword about to be unsheathed, and the cold light highlights the sharpness of the sword.
He drew a wine gourd on the right side of Zhou Jianlai's face.
The mouth of the gourd was tilted slightly, and crystal wine flowed out from it, falling right into the right corner of Zhou Jianlai's mouth.
"Not bad, the painting is really good!"
"I like."
After Zhou Jianlai looked at the bronze mirror, he nodded with satisfaction.
"As long as you like it, brother," the stall owner said with a smile.
Zhou Jianlai stood up and walked away, saying: "I will draw it for my companion first, and we will settle the accounts together later."
The stall owner nodded, looked at Zhang Xiaozu who was walking over and asked, "How would you like to draw this little brother?"
"The requirements are the same as his." Zhang Xiaozu replied, "You can draw whatever you like."
The stall owner also stared at Zhang Xiaopou's face for a while, then mixed the paint, and then started writing.
He drew a tiger with black and yellow stripes on Zhang Xiaopou's left cheek.
The tiger was lying on the ground, looking to the right. There was a young tiger playing on the right. The tiger's eyes were full of love, making the tiger less ferocious and more gentle and tender.
Zhang Xiaozhu was shocked when he saw the stall owner's masterpiece. He wondered if the stall owner had seen through his heart. Otherwise, how could the painting be so in line with his wishes?
However, the stall owner's aura was weak, and he was clearly an ordinary person with no cultivation.
Seeing Zhang Xiaozu frowning, the stall owner thought he was dissatisfied, and quickly explained: "I felt a kingly aura from my little brother, and I immediately thought of the King of Beasts, but this little brother has a kind face and is not as ferocious as the tiger."
It matched, so I drew another tiger cub, depicting the kindness of the little brother with the affectionate licking of the calf."
"Awesome!" After listening to the stall owner's explanation, Zhang Xiaozu gave him a thumbs up sincerely.
The stall owner waved his hands and said: "It's just a small trick."
Then he painted the faces of Ye Mingyue and Du Keyi.
He drew Ye Mingyue's face as a Hua Dan, and at Du Keyi's request, he drew her a scary ghostly green face.
All four of them were very satisfied.
"How much is the total?" Zhou Jianlai asked.
"Ten coins per person, forty coins in total," the stall owner replied.
"It's really cheap." Zhou Jianlai took out a ten-tael silver ingot and threw it over, saying, "No need to look for it."
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"Guys, please go ahead and come here more often. The little one can draw anything."
The stall owner was so happy that he wanted to turn these four generous Gods of Wealth into repeat customers.
The four of them left the stall and continued walking towards the inn.
On the way, Zhang Xiaozu told about the encounter with the Holy Beast of Blackpool. Zhou Jianlai and the others were very surprised to learn that the Holy Beast of Blackpool had also come to Paradise City.
It was already late at night when we returned to the inn.
In order to prevent further prying eyes from Feng Sijun, Zhang Xiaozu placed a powerful restriction in each of the halls on both sides, specifically to block the detection of spiritual consciousness.
But he secretly unfolded his mind and peeked into the yard next to Zhou Jianlai, because he guessed that Qi Jinyao was most likely to be assigned to live in this hall.
The result was exactly as he expected.
Qi Jinyao was already asleep on the big soft bed in the master bedroom.
The Holy Beast of Kurosawa was lying in front of the bed.
"Xiao Hei, it's me, Zhang Xiaopou."
"How are you?"
There was no isolation restriction in the room, so Zhang Xiaopou's voice passed through without any hindrance and rang in the ears of the Holy Beast of Blackpool.
The Holy Beast of Kurosawa opened his eyes in shock.
