Chapter 39: Fireworks in the World
Daisy's hometown, in fact, is not particularly far from the secluded, about a day's drive away, the name of Blackwater Town comes from an ancient river in the town, the river is called Blackwater River. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jiuyue stood in front of the Heishui River that Daisy said suspiciously, she had always thought that the black water should be relatively turbid water before she came, but looking at the river in front of her, not only was it not turbid at all, on the contrary, this Heishui River could be said to be crystal clear and full of business.
"Xiao Chia, who gave the name of this river in your house? What a good river, why did you give such a strange name as the Black Water River?" Jiu Yue really couldn't associate the clear stream in front of him with its name.
"Well, that's a long story. Daisy looked ahead intently.
"The name of this river comes from a legend in Blackwater Town, since it is a legend, I don't know how much of it has been exaggerated by later generations, you ask me, I am stupid, and I can't say it clearly......" Daisy scratched her head a little embarrassed, for fear that she would not be able to tell the essence of the legend with her clumsy tongue, this story and legend in Blackwater Town, to talk about it, it is still worth listening to.
"Otherwise, I'll go home first, you guys go around the town casually, if you're tired, there is a teahouse called 'Green Lantern' in the town, you can know where it is by asking, there is a storyteller in the 'Green Lantern' called Bi Leng, Bo Gu Tong Jin, you know everything, you can go there to sit down, I will go there to find you in a while." ”
After Daisy finished speaking, she grinned at Jiuyue and Honglian, waved at them and left towards the side path, Jiuyue looked at Daisy's thin back and small body, and felt that it seemed that a gust of wind could blow Daisy away.
From coming to this other world to the present, Jiuyue has never really been free to go out once, and when she sees the lively street market at this moment, she feels strangely tight, and she has long forgotten to explore the mysterious legend of the Heishui River.
"Yue'er, I'm hungry, let's go eat something first. When Honglian got off the carriage, she began to hum and want to eat, at this time, Honglian didn't know how many times she complained that she was hungry, Jiuyue was actually a little hungry, fortunately she was prepared, the money in hand, and she didn't have to worry about food and clothing.
It's just that I don't know if this bit of entanglement on my body is enough for her and Honglian to consume, but it's okay if the money is spent, the worst thing is sleeping on the streets, but over the years, her archery skills have become more and more sophisticated, although she can't guarantee warmth, but she is absolutely full, anyway, as long as she doesn't starve to death, it's not a big problem.
Blackwater Town looks very lively, although the road is wide, but it is densely populated, and there is a lot of shouting, and I don't know what it is selling.
Walking along the road, you can see tea shops, wine shops, inns, butcher shops, medical halls, antique calligraphy and paintings, ironware shops, silk and satin, jewelry and spices, incense paper horses, rice, oil and salt, street vendors, all walks of life, and the crowd is endless, lively and extraordinary.
This kind of street market is simply a world of difference from what Jiu Yue saw when he was in Fengcheng, the border city of the blood clan, Fengcheng, is very deserted compared to this Heishui Town, and the types of shops are also very limited, not to mention some daily needs, and as soon as he enters Fengcheng, it gives people a sense of coldness and desolation, which is particularly bleak.
Even so, Jiuyue's impression of the market is quite good, but she never thought it would be so interesting.
It's good now, Jiuyue and Honglian are very excited because they haven't seen the world, they feel here and there, and they can't wait to buy everything.
In the end, because I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, I couldn't get enough of finding a family with a lot of shops to eat, the name of the store is Qingfeng Inn, it is a three-story wooden attic, there are many big red lanterns hanging on it, and the square tables and chairs are neatly placed in the living room, and the bowls, chopsticks, wine utensils, and tea sets on the table have been placed, just waiting for the guests to come to the door.
Because it was noon at this time, the business of the inn was very good, Jiuyue and Honglian randomly found a place where no one was and sat down, Jiuyue looked curiously at the small wooden board hanging on the side wall, on which many small characters were written crookedly, which should be the name of the dish.
"The sun and the moon shine, the evergreen, the fire alchemy body, the phoenix eyes and autumn waves, the green dragon lying in the snow......" Jiuyue muttered the name of the dish, the more she thought about it, the more melancholy she became, thinking that she didn't know what these messes were.
The guys in the store were quite quick with their hands and feet, thinking that what Jiuyue was talking about was what she ordered, but she said that the big customer had come, and the guy's heart was happy.
“…… Shangchun Deer Whip Soup: "Hey, it seems that there is finally a name for a dish that can be understood, at least this can be venison, right?" Jiu Yue thought uncertainly.
The guy who ran the hall remembered the name of the dish and remembered that he was happy, and suddenly heard Jiuyue ask for a spring deer whip soup, and he couldn't help it, but he laughed out loud, and the expression on his face was a little crying and laughing, and he looked at Jiuyue in a daze...... Are you sure you want this?"
Jiu Yue glanced at the guy strangely, what did he mean by this look? Don't you feel that she can't afford to eat? It was rare for her to understand the name of a dish.....
"Isn't this soup delicious?" Jiuyue asked with a raised eyebrow and a little unpleasantness.
The guy who ran the hall was stopped by Jiuyue's frank tone, and he didn't know how to answer, and he was afraid of upsetting the customer, so he had to reluctantly say to Jiuyue with a smiling face, "This soup...... It's a good soup...... That's right..... it's a good soup...... Big Supplement ......"
The man's strange attitude made Jiuyue scratch her head, thinking to herself, isn't it just a bowl of soup? What can be strange, if it's a big deal, don't drink it.
"That's right, the two of us are tired and need to make up, so we need this deer whip soup!" Jiuyue said without thinking.
Jiuyue's voice was actually not very loud, but it happened to be heard by a few brightly dressed men eating at the adjacent table, which caused several men to look sideways frequently, and they couldn't stop laughing.
Jiu Yue looked up at a few men at the table opposite for some reason, these men are really strange, just looking at what they are wearing, they know that they are living a good life, but for some reason, the eyes looking at her and Honglian always make Jiu Yue feel a little obscene.
“…… Girl...... It's really atmospheric...... I wonder what else the two girls need?" After all, the guy who ran the hall had seen the world, and after a while, he put on a smile on his face again, and asked very earnestly.
Jiuyue frowned, and didn't plan to continue looking at the name of the dish, so she said, "Give us some of your specialties here." ”
"Good Lat~ Two guest officers, please wait a while, just a while!" the guy walked away quite happily, making Jiuyue even more inexplicable.
"Can't the people here just choose the name of the dish?
Jiuyue turned around curiously, followed Honglian's gaze, and saw a young man in bamboo blue clothes sitting at the table behind them, in his twenties, handsome and handsome, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, but Honglian was fascinated by this man.
