The area along the Qingdi River is the city's famous scenic spot and commercial district. The entire street and the Qingdi River cross the city!
Busy and bustling!
It was early in the morning and it was still quite quiet. Zhan Mingyue and the little girl Xiaoyan held hands and walked slowly along the embankment streets along the Qingdi River!
On both sides of the street!
There are a dazzling array of inns, shops, wine shops, restaurants, calligraphy and painting shops, antique shops, jewelry stores, etc., all available!
Of course!
There is also the favorite place for dandies, poets and literati: brothels. On this street along the river embankment, there are actually five brothels with high-end facades!
Sleep in Yangzhou dream for ten years!
Win the reputation of a brothel!
Thanks to the long history of Hongluan City!
There are many treasures and antique shops in the shop. In the shop, there is a complete collection of ancient calligraphy works, King of Han and Zhou Ding, etc.!
At the entrance of an inn!
Its signboard says Yuelai Inn, which not only operates inn accommodation, but also provides catering services such as breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper!
A wretched-looking waiter!
Sitting at the door of the inn!
Seeing the Qingdi River rushing by not far away and scattered pedestrians passing by, his face was silent. All kinds of people have been coming and going in front of him over the past few years!
Already, no surprise!
At this moment, the waiter suddenly stood up from his seat and looked towards the distance of the street. He saw a young Taoist priest leading a ragged little girl!
Come slowly!
It should be, finally the wait is here!
Zhan Mingyue held Xiaoyan's little hand and walked together on the river bank and embankment streets, and approached an inn that served breakfast!
A burst of fragrance hits your nose!
The little girl Xiaoyan felt hungry in her belly!
Especially, coupled with the nodding and bowing of a wretched-looking waiter in front of the store, he enthusiastically attracted customers!
Ever since!
Xiaoyan took her uncle Zhan's hand and stepped into the store. At this time, Zhan Mingyue was still dressed as a young Taoist priest!
Dress neatly!
Perhaps because of this, although the waiter in the shop saw that Xiaoyan was dressed in a somewhat shabby and shabby way, he saw that she was followed by a young Taoist priest in brand new clothes!
Not only did he not say anything!
He also guided us into this Yuelai Inn with great enthusiasm!
Inn lobby!
Bright and spacious!
Entering the hall, Zhan Mingyue and Xiaoyan found an empty seat and sat down, leaning against the window and looking out!
Scenery outside the store!
Unobstructed view!
(two)
After a while, the waiter brought breakfast to the table, including rice porridge, side dishes and steamed rice. Xiaoyan lowered her head and started eating!
Right now!
One person enters the store!
Unkempt!
The waiter in the shop immediately looked disgusted. He saw that he was a wandering beggar, stealing food and drink. He looked at the visitor and smiled:
"Your Majesty, you'd better go somewhere else, we can't afford to pay for it in a small shop!"
That's quite polite!
However, the disdain on his face is clearly visible!
However, Zhan Mingyue noticed something unusual about this person, that is, although this person had an unkempt face, his eyes were sharp and he should be a highly skilled martial artist!
Knew it!
When he heard the waiter's disdainful words, the visitor glared and shouted: "You bastard, are you afraid that I won't be able to pay for the meal in the restaurant?"
After saying that, he slashed at the corner of the table in front of him with one palm!
Eat it!
Just like cutting through rot with a sharp blade, the corner of the table fell in the palm of my hand!
The waiter was shocked when he saw this!
He quickly apologized and led the unkempt beggar in front of him into the inn lobby, where he was treated well!
I can't afford it!
Zhan Mingyue noticed that this unkempt beggar was actually using the secret skill of the outer sect of Buddhism: the sword in the palm of his hand!
Turn your palm into a sword!
Luck with the knife!
Not to mention a wooden tabletop, even a steel knife can be directly sharpened. It is a unique Buddhist skill!
Zhan Mingyue remains calm!
However, when I checked this person's actions out of the corner of my eye, I saw this unkempt beggar sitting carelessly in a prominent position in the hall!
Take a hard shot of a piece of silver!
"I told the store owner to quickly cut three kilograms of fine roast beef, a plate of peanuts, and three kilograms of fine daughter's red wine for the old man. All the way to Hongluan City, the old man is exhausted. !”
cried the old beggar!
Loud voice!
Very energetic!
The above operation made the waiter's eyes wide open in shock. In today's world, even beggars are so arrogant?
After you come to your senses!
Quickly report your number to the inn: three pounds of roast beef, three pounds of daughter's red wine and a plate of peanuts!
Because the roast beef in the store is already cooked!
Wine is also available!
So, after a moment!
The waiter placed three kilograms of roast beef, a plate of peanuts and three kilograms of red wine on the wooden table in front of the elderly beggar!
(three)
At this time, since it was early in the morning, in the inn hall, even if Zhan Mingyue, Xiaoyan and the elderly beggar were added to the table!
There are only a few sporadic tables of five or six customers!
Braised beef, peanuts and wine are on the table!
The unkempt old beggar didn't care, ate meat, drank from a big bowl, and started to feast!
Xiaoyan saw an elderly beggar eating roast beef!
It smells so good!
It was so greedy that Zhan Mingyue wanted to eat roast beef too!
"Waiter, please serve two pounds of roast beef, two pounds of red meat, and two pancakes for this table!"
Show the Way of the Moon!
His tone was calm, and he deliberately restrained all his martial arts aura!
"Okay, sir! Roast beef, cooking cakes, and daughter red. Please wait a moment, they will be served soon!"
The waiter responded!
After a while, a large plate of roast beef was brought to Xiaoyan, along with a large bucket of fine daughter's red wine and two pancakes!
"Thank you, Uncle Zhan, Xiaoyan, I haven't had roast beef for a long time!"
Xiaoyan said!
I was very excited and started eating roast beef and drinking tea with pancakes. Not to mention how comfortable I looked!
Zhan Mingyue smiled slightly!
Pour a bowl of daughter red!
Drinking slowly, occasionally picking up a piece of roast beef with chopsticks and chewing slowly, I felt that there was a strange atmosphere in the lobby of this inn!
However, Zhan Mingyue remained calm!
Take your time and observe!
Wait slowly!
This is because Zhan Mingyue, who has been in battle for a long time, knows that when facing an enemy in battle and fighting with masters, the most taboo thing is to be impetuous!
Victory or defeat is in an instant!
The loser is usually the one who loses his composure first!
Just when the atmosphere is weird!
Suddenly!
A little girl walked in from the door, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with tattered clothes!
But, it’s hard to hide her fair skin!
Although his face is covered with dirt, his eyes are extremely clear!
This little girl, thirteen or fourteen years old, is wearing a gray dress!
On its head!
Just use two tattered red ropes to tie the messy hair into two pigtails!
On his body, he carries a row of green bamboo tubes!
The body is hunched over!
Staggeringly, step into the inn lobby!
It seems that there is something heavy in the bamboo tube, and it must be water!
There is also a row of small bamboo tubes hanging on his waist!
it depends!
There must be more than a dozen small bamboo tubes around the waist, which make jingling bells and orange bangs whenever I walk!
Behind it!
What she was carrying were seven or eight large bamboo tubes, and she saw this little girl wandering into the store!
Scanned around!
He walked past the unkempt old beggar and walked slowly towards the table where Zhan Mingyue and Xiaoyan were sitting!
But!
Before this little girl in ragged clothes entered the inn lobby!
That wretched waiter!
Come at full speed "in time"!
"What day is it today? An old beggar just came, and then a little beggar came. Go, go, go, don't affect our business!"
Waiter Road!
Waving his hands, he drove the little girl away like a fly!
But!
Before he could hit the little girl with his wave, a peanut popped out from behind her!
Zhan Mingyue noticed!
It was shot by an old beggar with disheveled hair, and he used authentic Buddhist techniques!
Magical power at the snap of a finger!
Right in the middle of the back!
A big Maha fell to the ground, but this has greatly reduced the intensity!
"Please, if you can't speak, just shut up. You are an old beggar or a little beggar!"
A voice came coldly!
Sure enough, it came from the unkempt old beggar!
That little girl!
It seems that I have experienced too many such expulsion scenes!
So, don’t be surprised!
Calm look on his face!
Regardless of the scene just now, he still walked slowly to Zhan Mingyue!
"Brother, do you want a good sweet spring? It's very delicious. It was collected from the Sumeru Spring on Emperor Qing just early in the morning!"
the little girl asked!
Poor, a pair of eyes as clear as water looked at Zhan Mingyue!
"Let's go, let's go, we won't buy it, we also have mountain spring water ourselves, look!"
Before Zhan Mingyue could answer!
Xiaoyan rushed to shout!
While shouting, he took off a green bamboo tube from his waist, opened the lid, and took a special sip!
"Look, I didn't lie to you. Also, you call him brother and I call him uncle. Are you taking advantage of me?"
Xiaoyan said again!
Angrily, he placed the bamboo tube containing water heavily on the wooden table!
"Little sister, I'm sorry, it was my sister who said the wrong thing. Brother, no, uncle, please ask for some mountain spring water. It's nourishing. I climbed Qingdi Mountain early in the morning to collect it.
!”
The little girl said eagerly!
His eyes are even more pitiful!
"Little girl, don't worry. You just said that your mountain spring is collected from the Qingdi Mountain next to Hongluan City, right?"
Zhan Mingyue asked with a smile!
Cheerful!
"Yes, I climbed Qingdi Mountain early in the morning when it was still dark. Between the cliffs, I used bamboo tubes to collect the mountain spring water of Xumi Spring. People said that this Xumi Spring was still there thousands of years ago.
It was dug by an old immortal and has always been famous, and its spring water has always been delicious!"
said the little girl!
Explaining eagerly!
Next!
After thinking about it, as if afraid that Zhan Mingyue wouldn't believe it, he took off a small green bamboo tube from his waist!
Open the bamboo barrel lid!
Handing it to Zhan Mingyue, the little girl said:
"Uncle, please taste the fine mountain spring water from Xumi Spring in Qingdi Mountain. It's fresh and authentic. Uncle, the taste is free and there is no charge!"
