Chapter 1504: Kui Ye blessed
There are a few hot soup shops that resemble restaurants, and from a distance, they are steaming, and some of them have signs hanging at the door, but they don't look as clean as the road.
Walking inside, there were gradually more people, and there were some small shops selling sundries on both sides of the road.
Most of them have no signboards, and they are covered with a black one, I don't know if it's animal skin or cloth.
Put all kinds of knick-knacks on top and start shouting.
It's not a rare thing, it's mainly some relatively ordinary cultivation resources, and none of them have reached the Shijie level spirit grass.
It doesn't matter, whether it's a hurry, or a caravan doing business, no one expects to meet heaven and earth here.
However, commonly used items that are easy to wear and tear, as well as dried food herbs, seem to be popular.
The sounds of selling and bargaining are intertwined, and the sound of horses ringing from time to time makes the whole nameless town extremely lively.
"Hot soup is coming......" Yichen and Piaoran casually found a hot soup shop and sat down, and before they could think about what to eat, Xiao Er served the hot broth.
"How do you know we're going to eat this?"
Looking at the black piece in the soup bowl, there was a bone in the middle, and he couldn't help frowning, and he didn't dare to put down the chopsticks.
"It's the first time I've come here to look at objectivity. ”
Xiao Er put a towel on his shoulder, smiled and replied, while taking the tray away from the table.
Then he took out a small bottle from his arms, opened the lid, and poured it gently against the two bowls of soup on the table, and a layer of yellow powdery substance appeared on the soup bowl.
"Where did you see that?"
Seeing that Xiao Er's movements were skillful, he seemed to be less disgusted with the hot soup in front of him.
In its place, curiosity arises.
Not long after he sat down, he didn't even say a word, Xiao Er could see that it was the first time he came, and he would definitely drink this bowl of soup.
"I often know that there is a kind of hot soup in our nameless town, and that is black badger soup......
Xiao Er grinned, revealing his snow-white and neat teeth.
Obviously, he had already answered the question raised by Piao countless times.
"There is only one, or ...... Badger soup?"
It suddenly dawned on me, and I thought that Xiao Er was smart, but it turned out to be like this.
But the name of the black badger sounds unappetizing, not to mention that it is still pitch black and cannot arouse your appetite.
"Yes, there is no second kind of livestock within a hundred miles of this, except for the horses of the guest officers, of course. ”
It's not too busy at the moment, so Xiao Er was patient and introduced it to Piao Ran and Yichen.
The nameless town is located in the south of the North Underworld, and there were no shops in this area, but the tired caravans and the martial cultivators who participated in the training stopped occasionally to rest.
Merchants who travel far away will prepare in advance, bring enough food items with them, and do not need to replenish them in the nameless town.
However, more than ten years ago, a bandit group set their sights on the nameless town, and when the merchants stopped to rest and relax their vigilance, they suddenly rode horses.
In order to prevent the merchants from entanglement, the robbers would often go on a killing spree and kill the rebellious merchants.
Sometimes, the robbers forcibly took all the dry food and snacks from the merchants, and left without the merchants crying for mercy.
In this way, the merchants who were robbed of all their belongings would starve to death in the nameless town, even if they were not killed.
There was a time when the nameless town was a place of death, and merchants had to pass through, but they did not dare to pass through it, for fear of being poisoned by bandits.
"That'...... How could there be a store open?" he tilted his head, puzzled.
Since they are targeted by the bandit group and come to loot from time to time, it is not easy for the merchants to survive, how can they have the heart to open a shop to make money.
"The earliest shops were opened by merchants who were lucky enough to survive......"
In the beginning, some merchants were unwilling to be starved to death, so they struggled to go out and find something to eat.
But when you look all over this area, you can only see a very small number of black badgers, which are only about a foot tall and weigh less than 20 catties.
Although the black badger looks ugly, even if it is cooked, it is black and not slippery, and the rough meat soup is difficult to swallow, but after all, it can satisfy hunger and keep out the cold, and it can save his life.
Slowly, some merchants, considering their own capital and goods, were looted, and it was difficult to explain when they went back.
had to reluctantly stay, relying on a bowl of hot soup to survive.
When you meet someone who has the same experience and is facing a desperate situation, you will also be given a bowl of hot soup to save a life.
As time went by, more and more people stayed, and the hot soup shop was formed.
"I see, but aren't they afraid of being robbed by bandits?"
Piao Ran finally figured out the origin of the hot soup shop, but a new problem arose.
"These people have nothing but a bowl of hot soup, and the bandits are afraid to avoid them, who wants to entangle with them......"
For a long time, hot soup shops were served free of charge, provided that they were only given to merchants who had been robbed.
Gradually, some merchants who have never encountered the bandit group also want to drink a bowl of hot soup to warm up their bodies in order to resist the invasion of cold wind, ice and snow.
As a result, hot soup shops have a saying that they charge fees, but most of them are only symbolic charges, or the merchants themselves are willing to give as much as they want, and there is no unified pricing.
With the addition of homeless merchants, there are more hot soup shops, some to do good deeds, and some to earn some money to go home.
The bandits did not look down on this negligible amount of money, and they only robbed the merchants who owned a large number of goods, but did not harass the 'boss' of the hot soup shop too much.
Not only that, but since the hot soup shop, the bandits' 'business' has also been much better.
Originally, during the robbery, the merchants fought with their lives, and there was no way to retreat, so they had to kill.
Although the bandit group is outnumbered, there will be casualties under the desperate resistance of the merchants.
However, the existence of hot soup shops has not only given merchants room to survive, but also made them lose their courage and motivation to work hard.
With as few casualties as possible, it was easier to get hold than before, and the bandits found it to be a good deal.
From then on, the bandit group was no longer hostile to the owners of the hot soup shops, and even supported them.
"Hehe, this is also coexistence...... Ahem!"
Yichen lowered his head and took a sip of black badger soup, but was choked with tears.
"** powder is added here, the cold is very good, and the entrance is very rushing. ”
Xiao Er saw a guest come in, and after explaining, Zhang Luo went.
"Floating, drinking, it's hot. ”
Although it is choking, a mouthful of hot soup can be swallowed, the whole body is smooth, and the cold in the body is forced out by ** powder and steaming black badger soup.
Yichen bit a piece of black badger meat, the meat is very coarse, the color is embarrassing, but there is no peculiar smell, it is still more delicious than dry food and the like.
"Well, it's not bad to look at, it's not bad. ”
When Yichen was halfway through eating, Piao Ran started to move.
I hadn't eaten a hot meal for several days, although I relied on my fire attribute physique, so that I wouldn't be hurt by the cold.
However, dry food is swallowed in the throat and you want to spit it out, how can it be as moisturizing as hot soup.
A bowl of hot black badger soup, in less than half a cup of tea, not a drop of it entered the stomach.
Yichen and Piaoran felt that the heat on their bodies had also risen, and they could recover their spirits after a short rest.
One after another, several groups of guests entered the hot soup shop, sitting around and chatting, while waiting for Xiao Er to come up.
"I saw just now that someone is recruiting, and the conditions are very attractive. ”
"Ignore him, warm up first and then talk about ......"
A few people chatted without a word, and they didn't urge Xiao Er to come over quickly.
"Little Er, hurry up, we're all going to freeze to death. ”
At this time, the curtain of the hot soup shop moved, and a black-faced man came in, with two attendants behind him.
"Master Zhang, wait a minute, this is coming. ”
Xiao Er was waiting for the front few people, and he couldn't pull away for the time being, so he hurriedly greeted the black-faced man.
"Okay...... By the way, Xiao Er, feed the horses outside, and then you will have to pull and hurry. ”
Zhang Ye gave a big command, then crossed Erlang's legs, and waited for the arrival of hot soup with the two entourages.
"Strange, isn't this a place where bandit groups haunt, how can there be such nonchalant merchants?"
After drinking the black badger soup, he looked around and found the carriage in the courtyard.
The two carriages, both piled with goods, were covered and could not see clearly what was inside.
But Piao Ran can still see that the weight of the cargo in this car is not light, and it is estimated to be worth a lot of money.
"This girl, don't you know, it's been more than a year, and there have basically been no bandit groups in the nameless town, and no matter how much cargo there is, it's safe. ”
The black-faced man who was called Zhang Ye by Xiao Er happened to look at this side, so he took the fluttering words and said.
"Didn't show up?" was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
Before leaving the palace, Master Li focused on the introduction, saying that the nameless town was a place where the bandit group haunted.
When I got to Zhang Ye, it wasn't even like that.
"What the girl said is that in the past, since the branch of the Kui Ye's volunteer regiment fought a few times with the bandit group in the nameless town, the bandit group has become less and less.
Especially this year, I walked three times, and each time it was safe, which is completely blessed by the king......
Speaking of this, Zhang Ye was interested, and he didn't care whether he wanted to listen to it or not, and his eyebrows fluttered.
Zhang Ye turned out to be with his friends, selling some furs, often passing through nameless towns, and was robbed by robbers.
Even if they united with other caravans and forced their way through the nameless town in a crowded, they were attacked by bandits.
Until the end of the year before last, the heroes of the Volunteer Corps Branch led by Kui Ye personally fought with the bandit group in the nameless town for several months, and finally repelled many bandits.
