Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Kind?
Zhang Ning then stepped on a paper plane and flew away from Qingyun Mountain, not to Lihe Town, but to Shucheng in the southwest. He bought almost all the wine in Lihe Town, and he decided to buy it in another place. Of course, the main reason is that the Blood Demon is nowhere to be found, and it is possible that she will look for Yin Jiu or directly look for herself according to the clues, and Leng Mingyu will almost certainly take the "Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt Pearl" by herself, if she gets rid of the Blood Demon Demon, she will inevitably look for herself, so it can be seen that it is better not to go to Lihe Town again.
Shucheng used to be a barren environment, the environment was harsh and unsettled, and then it became a place of exile, and as more and more people were exiled here, a town was gradually formed, and the people were rough and strong. Most of the people in Shucheng are sinners, so they are also despised by the people of Lihe Town, who boast of being immortals and give wine. When Zhang Ning was working in Fushun Building, when he met people in Shucheng, the shopkeeper would ask him for a few more pennies - because the people in Shucheng were very arrogant and never bargained!
Zhang Ning bought a large amount of liquor in Shucheng, and bought a few jars of various flavors and prices, and there were no delicately brewed rice wines such as pear blossom brewing and Bizhu drunk, but mostly spirits such as first-line fire and small pieces of knives, which were very in line with the character characteristics of the locals.
Later, Zhang Ning walked to Feng's ready-to-wear shop, which is different from the style of Lihe Town, where the clothes are not wide robes and large sleeves, but mainly short brown, which is convenient for labor. As a rising star in the cultivation realm, Zhang Ning must pay attention to his own image, where does the clothes that can't wave his sleeves come from? So Zhang Ning glanced at it and was about to go out, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone he knewβLu Liang, the shopkeeper of Lu Ji's ready-to-wear shop in Lihe Town!
Zhang Ning stopped and turned back, but Lu Liang had already gone into the back of the store.
Zhang Ning is very vigilant, Lihe Town is his dangerous place, will the people of Lihe Town appear here for themselves?
It's impossible, it's a random decision to come here, and it's impossible for Lu Liang to know in advance that he came here to set up an ambush.
Zhang Ning shook his head and laughed in a low voice, he now felt a little like he was a soldier.
He came to the largest restaurant in Shucheng again, Ao Xuezhai. I don't know which literati gave the name to the restaurant, this style of Ao Xuezhai is not arrogant and lofty at all, it is very lively.
In the center of the hall on the first floor, there is a fire pit, surrounded by several circles of tables and chairs, and a few people are sitting on the ground. On the fire pit in the middle is a rock sheep roasting, fragrant. This aroma aroused Zhang Ning's appetite, and he had never tasted worldly food since he returned to Qingyun Mountain from Lihe Town last time.
Zhang Ning found a table near the roasted whole sheep and sat down, and said, "Little Er, one pound of lamb chops and lamb legs." β
The little second hurriedly ran over and said, "There is a charge for seats here, you sit here, and there will be a skilled cook to cut the meat for you to taste in a while!"
Zhang Ning didn't say anything anymore, after a cup of tea, sure enough, a cook came over with a leg of mutton and a thin scimitar, he came to Zhang Ning, and cut five or six thin slices of roast lamb leg meat on the big plate on Zhang Ning's table, and then he wanted to turn around and leave!
This Nima is a self-service barbecue routine?! Even the ancients learned it badly?
Zhang Ning got up, snatched the whole leg of mutton, and fiercely tore off a large piece of meat and chewed it fiercely, the skin was charred and tender, the fat was plump, and the mouth was full of fragrance. Zhang Ning's physical body is far from being comparable to an extraordinary person, and he ate up a sheep's hind leg in just a moment. He wiped his mouth and saw a row of wine jars on the table of the shopkeeper staring at him dumbfounded, Zhang Ning flew over and scooped up a jar, patted open the mud seal and drank half of the altar with a line of fire, and sure enough, he felt a line of fire burning from his mouth down his throat all the way to his stomach. Zhang Ning hiccuped and laughed: "It's cool to drink a lot of wine and eat meat!"
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with admiration, and then he arched his hand and said: "Guest officer, you must be new here, I don't know, cough cough ......" He looked at the door window, lowered his voice and continued: "Our Shucheng, after always being a sinner, has a bold name in the surrounding towns, and our Sixi Restaurant used to be a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine, but since ...... , the name of the store has also changed, the rules have also changed, there is no way to do it.
Zhang Ning asked him, "Oh, what is the matter? Who came up with such an anti-human way of eating?"
The shopkeeper was gone, Zhang Ning was also not interested, and he threw away a big ingot of silver to buy a whole roast sheep with a missing leg and floated away.
Zhang Ning went around Shucheng a few more times, and there was a sense of disobedience everywhere, a rough and bold town where most of the working people were working, but there was a place to rent books like "Shuge". Zhang Ning went to ask about the market, and sure enough, there were many doors, but he didn't dare to close the door. In addition, there is also a "newspaper office", yes, that is the place where the newspaper is distributed, which has been closed for a long time, probably because there are not many literate people, and no one buys newspapers.
Zhang Ning stopped and stopped, excited in his heart, could it be that he had met the same kind?
asked a lot of people to no avail, and finally at an old beggar's place, a piece of mutton in exchange for a piece of news: "The Taishou master of Shucheng has a son in his old age and regards it as a treasure, and the little young master is even more precocious, and often has some strange ideas, and the Taishou is also up to him, so these strange shops and customs appear." β
Zhang Ning's heart is racing, this is the same kind of life! But it seems that he is a soul piercing?
When the old beggar saw that Zhang Ning was stunned, he ate the mutton by himself, and his hands and face and beard were greasy.
Zhang Ning made up his mind, immediately went to see the same kind, and asked, "How old is Young Master Taishou now, where is Taishou Mansion?"
The old beggar licked the oil on his hand and said, "The little master died of illness before he became an adult." β
Zhang Ning exclaimed in surprise, "Dead?"
