"Be careful. This big city is like a maze. Remember the name of the hotel. I don't want to post a missing person notice."
After leaving the crowd, Zhang Wei's face and body gradually changed.
He became more and more proficient in the art of transformation.
Take out the package, there are a lot of metal coins inside.
The brass-colored one is larger and the production is rougher.
It has '1' written on the front and the word Bailey on the back. It weighs about 20 grams.
The silver ones are more delicate and come in a variety of denominations and weights, such as 5, 10, 20, etc.
Xuanhua Street corresponds to the commercial street of the previous life, with various standardized stalls on the roadside and countless pedestrians and tourists.
"Boss, here are 20 squid."
"Okay, thanks for your patronage, I'll charge you 1 pele."
Zhang Wei didn't buy it at all: "It's a bit expensive."
The street stall owner raised his voice and immediately argued: "It's more expensive, but my squid is authentic. If it's not delicious, you smash my sign!"
"Okay, okay, fixed price, 30 skewers."
"25!"
"make a deal."
Money and goods are cleared.
It’s been so long since I’ve been out for a walk, even bargaining has become so fun.
Zhang Wei suspected that he was holding back his injuries.
Teppanyaki squid is just an ordinary ingredient and does not have a catch level, but it is very popular in Mocheng because of its affordable price.
“The taste is indeed okay, the squid is very fresh, the condiments are spread evenly, and there are some flaws in the control of the heat...”
"Practice makes perfect. The street stall owner probably hasn't studied it in detail. It's really good to be like this."
As the capital of the North, Mocheng is relatively expensive.
1/2 Baileys for a bowl of fried noodles.
400 grams of braised beef in soy sauce, 1 Bailey.
300 grams of fried silkworm pupae, 1 Bailey.
As for restaurants with stores, if you go in and order anything, you will have to spend 3 Baileys.
Some more exquisite stores will sell delicacies with capture levels, mostly level 1 or 2.
The price of the ingredients themselves is not low, and including the processing fee, a meal costs at least 10 beli or more.
"There are hard prizes for throwing darts, but you can win all kinds of big prizes..."
"Rings, rings. Twenty rings for one pele."
"Guest, come in and have a drink. There will be Pipa music to listen to."
“Fresh fruits and vegetables on sale! There are discounts for large quantities.”
After leaving the hustle and bustle of Xuanhua Street, Zhang Wei still has a lot of serious things to do.
Desert Bookstore.
A very large-scale building, the overall decoration style is very elegant, but it cannot conceal the sense of grandeur.
Most of the pedestrians coming and going are polite and neatly dressed.
"Hello sir, membership is still a ticket."
There are more than a dozen bookboys in the entrance area, responsible for ticket checking, shopping guide and other tasks.
Zhang Weidao: "This is my first time here. I want to buy some books to fill the library. I will use a lot."
The bookboy looked happy and explained: "If you can come to Desert Bookstore, you must be a genuine reader who respects originality. Let me introduce you to what you want to read."
"good."
Desert Bookstore is divided into several parts.
The browsing area provides lending services and part-time sales.
Backup books are stored in the warehouse.
It independently operates a printing factory, paper factory, and color ink factory, which are located in the backyard together with the warehouse.
The core area is the rare book area, most of which are unique and unique copies, as well as manuscripts by some masters.
The bookstore also holds painting exhibitions, clay sculptures, sculptures, etc. It can be said to be a comprehensive collection of art.
In addition, there are newspapers, periodicals and other businesses, and the income is higher than selling books.
“Which book has the highest sales volume?”
"Biographies, serial novels, illustrated magazines, naked body atlas..."
"And the naked body album?"
"Of course, they are all works by well-known painters, and they are quite high-quality! What kind of painting do you like, mature, intellectual, seductive, catwalk or full fruit?"
"Ahem, I'm not interested in these."
It seems that no matter which world, LSP is an important new force.
It has provided great help to revitalize the economy.
"There are people coming and going in Shuge. Business is good."
The book boy sighed: "Genuine books are not easy to sell. Bookstore will return part of the profits to the authors. In addition, there are venue fees, personnel expenses, etc., making the books more expensive. Few people are willing to spend money to support them. No.
The young author is so poor that he can hardly afford to eat."
"But pirated books don't require space or personnel, and can be produced using cheap paper and a printing press. The price is only one-tenth of the original."
Shuge's products are exquisitely bound, the paper is thick, and the quality is indeed very good.
Some albums are brightly colored, and the inks used should be high-end.
Zhang Wei plunged into the ocean of knowledge, and his main goal was to introduce various rare ingredients, as well as their geographical origins, etc.
The price of knowledge related to food skills and martial arts is very high, and Zhang Wei is not stingy at all.
"A general guide to ingredients for special cuisine?"
This is not the first time Zhang Wei has come across this word.
Not all ingredients can be easily consumed.
The more high-end ingredients are, the more magical properties they will have. These extraordinary properties make them unable to be eaten normally.
Take the Grimace Mushroom that Zhang Wei first came into contact with as an example. His whole body was covered with poisonous spores, and he could lose his life if he was not careful.
There was also Gallon tiger meat, which was sour and hard to swallow. Zhang Wei thought about it for a long time before he found the correct cooking method.
The most difficult one is the ice dragon. Its blood exceeds 1500 degrees. How should meat that can withstand this temperature be cooked?
For half a month, Zhang Wei thought hard and couldn't find the answer.
"Is this the only book about special cooking ingredients?"
The bookboy looked at it and said, "It's a very unpopular book. It doesn't sell a few copies all year round. Let me check the book catalog."
"Well, get me a copy of all this category."
"Want everything?"
"Um."
The book boy was overjoyed, this is a big deal!
Zhang Wei stayed where he was and continued shopping. These books can be stored in the space of the collection hall and read slowly when he is bored.
It can be said that it is one of Zhang Wei's few entertainment methods.
It is also the most convenient way to understand the world.
One after another, soon the books selected by Zhang Wei piled up into a small mountain.
At first glance, there are at least more than two thousand copies.
Several shopping guides followed behind with trolleys, which seemed to be more difficult.
"That's it. It's enough to watch for a while."
With the time flow speed bonus in the Collection Hall, Zhang Wei has a lot of reading time.
When I arrived at the bar, I was greeted personally by the bookstore manager.
Seeing Zhang Wei's purchase quantity, he immediately said: "Sir, do you want to decorate the study room? If you want to decorate the facade, there are actually more cost-effective options."
In the eyes of ordinary people, these books are enough to read for at least twenty years, or even a lifetime.
No matter how much you crave knowledge, you won’t need so much.
"No need, I'm more interested in these."
The manager stopped talking nonsense, and the four shopping guides took out their abacus and started calculating according to the price.
"Chenghui, a total of 3758 Baileys."
"I'll give you a discount. Just pay 3,500. This is our store's book list. It can be delivered to your door next time."
Zhang Wei touched his money bag and his expression suddenly became awkward.
Wow, genuine books are so expensive!
"Ahem...I feel like I may not be able to see so much."
