Chapter 248: Sky-high price of spring noodles
Confused on the street for a while, Bian Ruoxuan still didn't figure out where she was now.
In the final analysis, it is a problem that she did not do a good job of preparation before going out, and she didn't have a map of Mingdu at all, and after coming to Mingdu, she found that this place was unexpectedly big, and Qin Wanli couldn't see the edge.
is accustomed to the kind of pocket-sized city of Wen Shaoyu, and suddenly came to Yiming Domain, Bian Ruoxuan is not used to it at all.
Moreover, the passers-by walking on this street seem to be in a hurry, and she has tried to ask people for directions several times, but as soon as her hand is stretched out, she has been flexibly dodged, and she has gained a lot of vigilant eyes.
Qin Wanli didn't dare to completely let go of observation, so that there were too many places for her to be vigilant at present, and she didn't dare to observe at all, for fear of being seen.
After checking all the buildings within the range that can be seen, Qin Wanli can only give Bian Ruoxuan a very regrettable news, there is no place in the area that is suspected of being able to sit on a public flying magic weapon.
It's unreliable to explore the road on your own, and it's unreliable to find passers-by, it seems that you still have to get some spirit stones.
"Linlin, is there a place to sell food within the range?"
Qin Wanli immediately understood: "It's a little far, I'm directing you over?"
Bian Ruoxuan nodded, and under Qin Wanli's command, she began to walk towards the nearest place where she could sell food.
After all, the time is not so urgent, Bian Ruoxuan is not walking fast, and from time to time on the road, looking around, observing the customs of Mingdu.
Ming is worthy of being a big city with a long heritage, and this cultural heritage can still be intuitively felt.
The surrounding architectural style is something she has never seen before, but it is quite in line with her aesthetics, the color is not completely solemn, and there are many bright colors embellished in it, which makes the whole architectural style playful.
In the roof, eaves, lintels and other places, there are a lot of distinctive small decorations, which seem to not only play a decorative role, but also seem to have some other special meanings.
She is now in the first place of commercial concentration in the city, and unlike Wen Shaoyu, who combines commercial land with residential land, Mingdu is completely separated in planning.
There does not seem to be a small courtyard behind the shop that can be used for human habitation, which also causes the density of nearby shops.
When she walked to the end of this street, Bian Ruoxuan intuitively felt the complexity of the nearby streets and alleys, this should be just a small intersection, there are actually six different directions, if it weren't for Qin Wanli to show her the way, as a person who is completely unfamiliar with Mingdu, she might have lost her way.
It's also quite dramatic, she's never worried about getting lost in the wild, but she's worried about it in a man-made city.
After walking through four or five intersections, Bian Ruoxuan finally saw a food shop, which can also see the characteristics of Mingdu people.
In Mingdu, the kitchen repair seems to be a little declining, the sellers of goods here do not seem to have a defined area, there is anything sold on a street, and I haven't seen anything to sell food on the streets I walked through before, so it can be concluded that there are not many food shops in this Mingdu.
Entering the store, Bian Ruoxuan frowned a little dishappily, why does this look like she has given up on herself?
Although there was a man guarding the counter, she could hear him snoring like thunder when she stood in the doorway, let alone run away.
"Linlin, besides this, are there any food shops closer?"
The answer Qin Wanli gave was not what Bian Ruoxuan wanted to hear: "Then you have to go far, at least for another half an hour." ”
After knocking on the table a few times, Bian Ruoxuan was about to try to wake up this person first: "Boss, boss, boss, are you still doing this business?"
When he was asleep, this person's temperament was quite harmless, and the aura of the moment when he was released made Bian Ruoxuan shudder.
The boss raised his eyes and looked at her, very impatient: "Look at what you want, don't bargain." ”
Bian Ruoxuan glanced at the menu that was almost thrown in her face, and regretted entering this black shop a little, the cheapest on the entire menu was 'a bowl of Yangchun noodles', asking for a price, a high-grade spirit stone.
What kind of noodles should be sold for the whole price, she might as well gnaw a high-grade spirit stone raw.
"Boss, can I ask, how big is this bowl of Yangchun noodles?"
The boss didn't open his eyes this time: "What's the use of asking, you can't finish eating." ”
Bian Ruoxuan originally planned to leave, but after hearing this, she immediately dispelled her thoughts, she wanted to see how big this bowl of Yangchun noodles was.
"Boss, I want a bowl of Yangchun noodles. ”
"Check out first, serve later. ”
Okay, okay, Bian Ruoxuan took a spirit stone and put it on the counter.
Seeing the spirit stone, the boss's attitude was not much better, so he grabbed the spirit stone and threw it at the counter, and went into the back kitchen to make noodles: "Find a seat for yourself to sit." ”
The light inside the store is really a little bad, and I don't know what kind of design it is, why can't the light from the outside penetrate it?
Bian Ruoxuan rummaged through her bracelet, took out a lamp, lit it and placed it on the table.
After putting on the lamp, she could see the material of the table in front of her, and instantly understood the reason why the price on the owner's menu was so high.
This thing was used to make a table, and it is estimated that many cultivators wanted to hit people when they saw it, and it was a good refining material.
Not only does the wood of the refining tool have other functions, but this kind of wood is also mentioned in the mechanism she has seen, and in a particularly complex mechanism wood figure at first glance, the bearing in the core part seems to be used like this.
It's a pity that the senior who left the jade slip didn't seem to have used this kind of material himself, and the description in it was not exhaustive, so she couldn't be sure if this was the one mentioned by the senior.
This bowl of Yangchun noodles made by this store is extraordinarily long, at least in terms of time value, a high-grade spirit stone is worth it.
Normally, a bowl of Yangchun noodles in the store broke through the sky and a stick of incense, but she had been waiting for half an hour, and there was no movement in it.
This is very embarrassing, Bian Ruoxuan can't help but remember what the boss was doing before she came in, he wouldn't have fallen asleep in the back kitchen, right?
But she didn't seem to hear any strange smell like the pot after the noodles were boiled dry, and she felt that her conjecture would not come true.
Maybe this is such a style, and it's no wonder that this store looks like no one has been patronizing for a long time, it takes half an hour to eat noodles, and it may not take so long to grind Lingmai.
The wait was too difficult, Bian Ruoxuan couldn't help but take out the stock in her storage bag, she didn't eat a bite, and suddenly there was another person in front of her.
"We can't bring your own food. ”
This rule is really, there is nothing to say.
The person in front of him was too unfathomable, Bian Ruoxuan honestly collected his things: "Boss, how long will it take for me to meet?"
The boss didn't mean to explain to her at all, and disappeared in front of her again in an instant.
Bored and hungry, Bian Ruoxuan couldn't help but think about the possibility that she lost the spirit stone, the problem is, she is not such a wasteful person, she can't take this step.
Then let's wait, who let her enter this door without checking for a while.
It was too boring to wait, Bian Ruoxuan took out a array plate and a carving knife from the bracelet and began to carve the array plate.
It's not that she doesn't want to draw talismans, there are too many things to put in the talismans, so it's better to be neat and tidy.
What she had engraved now was a kind of spirit gathering array that was more commonly used in the Bilan Realm, and there was a certain similarity in principle with the talisman she had obtained after she first unsealed her memory.
Coming to Shaodu is also related to that talisman, she got a certain amount of inspiration in the process of carving the spirit gathering array, and she is ready to change the talisman a little, but this inspiration is still not clear enough.
Although the rune path and the array path can be traced back to the beginning, it can be said that they come from the same source, but in the process of development, the two have evolved into two different minor paths, and she has not found the common ground of this essence so easily.
came to the exchange meeting, because she had heard her aunt say that the formation path could give a lot of inspiration to the rune dao, and from the tone of the aunt, she could hear that this should not be her discovery alone, it should be the consensus of the rune cultivation in the Bilan realm.
What she wanted was to see how others had come up with inspiration from the formation, and to see if this way of using it could be used by herself.
Originally, it would have been the best candidate to ask the aunt, but the problem was that according to the results of her recent inquiry with the uncle, as soon as the aunt went back, she immediately went into retreat.
This retreat is not a breakthrough, but a recovery, after all, she escaped from there, and her cultivation has fallen off the ranks.
I don't know how long it will take to recultivate, but when she reaches the level of her aunt, she comes out of retreat, and Bian Ruoxuan may be Jindan, so she still has to find a way.
Bian Ruoxuan's style of carving the array plate is the same as the style of her drawing talismans, unless there is a big problem in the middle, or the spiritual power really can't support it, otherwise it has always been a knife to the end, and there is never a pause in the middle.
She doesn't know whether this kind of engraving is good or bad, she hasn't asked others, the quality of the finished product is still okay, and her main mind is not on this, so she didn't study it too much.
It's a big deal, let's ask for advice when I see my master.
The array plates in his hand have been changed to three, and the back kitchen has a little noise, and it sounds like the people inside are coming out.
Bian Ruoxuan took the array of dishes, washed her hands, and looked forward to this bowl of sky-high Yangchun noodles.
She had already decided that no matter how unpalatable the bowl of noodles was, she would have to eat them all, and there would be no bite of soup left.
This is a high-grade spirit stone, what she eats is not an ordinary bowl of noodles, but a bowl of noodles made of a spirit stone.
The boss did not come to her in a flash, as just now, but held the bowl in both hands, walked normally and put the noodles on her table, then handed her a pair of chopsticks, and put a spoon in the bowl.
"The noodles are a little hot, slow to use, and you can pack them if you can't finish eating. ”
Bian Ruoxuan took a serious look at the noodle bowl in front of her, and her experience told her that this bowl was not the same as the basin she used to grow elixir before, it had the function of being retractable, it was a bowl with a diameter of one foot, five inches high, and the noodle soup was three and a half inches high.
She seems to have such a small appetite that she can't finish such a few noodles?
She's not aimed at anyone, the unit of measurement she usually eats is not described by the small unit of measurement such as the bowl at all, she uses the heap to measure, okay?
In addition to the amount of noodles, this bowl of noodles is of a good level, and it is a better bowl of Yangchun noodles she has seen, and there is no little green onion in the bowl as a garnish like other homes.
However, at the moment when the boss said that the spoon was put into the bowl, I could smell a faint fragrance of green onions, which should be the scallion oil used.
The noodles were so well drawn that they looked like freshly pulled noodles, and they were all noodles from the end, so she could understand that the boss had spent so much time in them.
Picked up the noodles and blew a few breaths, and took a bite of it, and it was really hot as the boss said, but fortunately she didn't take the boss's words as a deaf ear.
Then she didn't have the heart to taste it, the aura contained in this noodle was a bit terrifying, she was also stained with the light of her aunt, and she ate a lot of good things, but she didn't have such an intuitive feeling as this bowl of noodles.
The spiritual power contained in the noodles was gentle, but the amount was huge, and it entered her limbs and bones in one go, and it became more and more thorough as she chewed.
If she was just an ordinary Qi cultivator, then what she should do was to put down her chopsticks and breathe to absorb spiritual power.
However, she was not an ordinary Qi cultivator, this gentle spiritual power was originally aimed at her dantian, but halfway through the journey, she was suddenly attracted and went to her seal.
Knowing that this was the case, Bian Ruoxuan quickly ate the second bite of noodles in the look of the shopkeeper who wanted to speak and stopped, and then finished the noodles under his gaze, picked up the spoon and began to drink the soup.
Probably the spoon affected Bian Ruoxuan's performance, she simply gave up the spoon, picked up the bowl directly, and drank the soup in the bowl as if she were drinking water.
If you have to ask her to say something to evaluate this bowl of noodles, it's probably a value word.
The taste is good, it can be seen that this person should be a very powerful chef, in addition to the simple taste is good or the spiritual power contained is rich, this bowl of back-to-basics noodles should have a little effect on the cultivation of the state of mind, and she tasted a little emotion in it.
However, she didn't eat very carefully, and she didn't go out of her way to taste it, so she didn't eat what this emotion was.
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks and wiping her mouth, Bian Ruoxuan looked at the boss who looked a little inexplicable.
"How did you feel after eating?"
Bian Ruoxuan guessed that he should have wanted to ask about the emotions in this face, but the problem was that she didn't eat what it was, so she still pretended not to understand.
"Ah, the feeling is that it is delicious, and it is also very nutritious, and it is worth eating a high-grade spirit stone, thank you boss." Can I order anything else?"
"Didn't you eat anything other than the taste?"
Sure enough, the one who asked was what she hadn't eaten.
Bian Ruoxuan really wanted to answer, but the problem was that she really didn't realize it and couldn't answer.
Therefore, she could only shake her head earnestly: "I can't eat what it is." ”
The boss seemed to be a little hit, and instantly adjusted himself again: "That's right, you're funny at your age, and it's normal if you don't understand it." You can order anything else, or you can have anything on the menu. ”
Bian Ruoxuan glanced around the menu and ordered something that was a little scary on this menu at a price: "That's it." ”
