Chapter 22: Overcrowding
The investment in buying a house was beyond Qin Lu's imagination, and before the first dividend of the wine shop arrived, his plan to open a store could only be temporarily put on hold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo, after confirming the purchase deal with He Shuhai, Qin Lu returned to the inn.
The work of the winery is on the right track, and so far, Qin Lu only has two issues to consider.
The first is to make money as soon as possible. Buying this mansion took almost all of Qin Lu's cash. If she wants to spend this month comfortably, Qin Lu must earn enough funds for her activities.
The second is the matter of recruiting new people from the fifteen sects, and Qin Lu still has no clue about it after coming to Chang'an for so long, neither knowing when it will be held, nor knowing the specific process, and he is very confused.
However, considering the existence of Cheng Susu and Xiao Shao, Qin Lu is not very worried about the second question, for him, the top priority is to find a way to make money as soon as possible.
On the way back, Qin Lu encountered some unexpected events.
Similar to the imperial examination competition held in Jianye City, on the eve of the fifteen sect recruitment conference, a large number of people began to gather in Chang'an City. Some time ago, it was still one after another, but in the past two days, it has been obvious that the regular convoy can be seen in the city.
"That's the people from the Ao Lai Country...... Fu Xian Xian pointed to a train not far away, and said in a low voice: "I stayed there for a while before, their clothes are very distinctive, very recognizable!" ”
"Is this column all there?"
Qin Lu was a little surprised. The size of the convoy was beyond his imagination, and at a rough count, there were at least twenty carriages, and even if there were ten people in one car, there were more than two hundred Aolai competitors.
However, this does not mean that all the contestants, among the people who came to Chang'an City, a considerable number of them came alone. These carriages, except for some large families that went out collectively, were basically small teams that gathered spontaneously, and they were still a very small part of the entire participating group.
Thinking about it like this, Qin Lu suddenly felt that the plan he had made before was a little too idealistic. If he wants to stand out in a team with a base of more than tens of thousands, relying on his current physical strength, it is actually no less than a fool's dream.
Fortunately, I have hugged my thighs, and it doesn't matter if I can succeed or not!
Because of the pressure generated by the huge team of contestants, it was relieved on Cheng Yanjin's side. Qin Lu is now very glad that Cheng Susu chose to go to Jianye City. Otherwise, his plan would never have gone so smoothly.
The phenomenon of a large number of contestants gathering has also been proven elsewhere, and the number of residents in the inn where Qin Lu is located has also increased significantly, just in the few days that Qin Lu worked in the winery, all the rooms were sold out, and they were full of young warriors from all over the world.
This is especially evident in the lobby on the first floor, which is filled with young people dressed up for a meal. There are demons with loud voices and heroic demeanors, and there are also immortal people with fluttering clothes and outstanding temperament. gave Qin Lu the feeling that he had experienced a new imperial examination competition, but this time, he changed from a spectator to a participant.
……
"Whew!"
The next morning, Qin Lu was awakened by a roar of beasts, and in the backyard of the inn, a group of demons were carrying wooden barrels to feed their summoned beasts. Palm-sized pieces of meat were thrown to the ground at random, and more than a dozen beasts gathered around, competing for food on the ground.
"Tigers, black bears, wild boars...... These people really like to use wild beasts as summoning beasts......"
Qin Lu couldn't help but sigh, and when he returned to the cage, he didn't want to sleep anymore, if nothing else, this group of demon people would go back to the first floor to fight for wine in a while, and then it would be a ghost crying wolf howl!
"Woo~ Don't make noise, people are sleeping!"
In the bedroom, Fu Xianxian still looked sleepy, sat up and glanced out the window, and then fell on the bed in a daze. For her, who is used to living in a noisy place like the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, a little noise can't discourage her desire to sleep at all.
Even though there was a man in the room, Fu Xian Xian didn't mean to be defensive at all, she was only wearing a thin pajamas that Qin Lu bought for her, and her delicate body was completely exposed to his gaze.
Qin Lu's first impression was her white and dazzling skin. Fu Xian Xian deserves to have the blood of the Hibiscus Fairy, and her skin is also like a flower, extremely delicate, under the light of the sun, Qin Lu can almost see the tiny fluff on her smooth calves. It's like a baby, and it's hard to put it down.
"What a snooze girl, I can't wake up!"
Rao is Qin Lu has long been accustomed to her appearance of begonia spring sleep, and she still blushes when she looks at it. Gently pulling out the blanket and covering Fu Xianxian's body, Qin Lu opened the door alone and went downstairs.
Although it was still early, the seats in the hall on the first floor were already sitting, and the demon men who had been feeding the summoned beasts in the courtyard sat down at the table in twos and threes, shouting at Xiao Er for breakfast.
"Xiao Langjun, it's not morning yet, why do you get up so early?"
The innkeeper was standing at the counter, fiddling with the abacus in his hand, and when he saw Qin Lu coming down from upstairs, he greeted him with a smile.
For Qin Lu, the innkeeper has always treated him with awe.
Because of the construction of the winery, people often come to the inn to find Qin Lu. Among these people, some of them were known to the innkeeper, and some of them were not known to him. But it was obvious that they were all dressed in a very human way, especially the two young women, who were not only quite generous, but also occasionally followed by a few guards, who at first glance knew that they were quite high-ranking people.
Under the influence of various factors, the innkeeper regarded Qin Lu as a hidden big man. He served with all his heart, and did not dare to neglect in the slightest.
"The yard was noisy, I couldn't sleep, so I got up!"
Qin Lu didn't know that he had become a big boss-level character in the innkeeper's heart, so he just waved his hand when he heard this, and said helplessly: "I don't know how to pretend to be so many people in Chang'an, it's like going to the market when you go out, and you're almost annoyed!" ”
The innkeeper said with a smile: "Hehe, the recruitment of new people by the fifteen sects is a big deal, there are not 100,000 people who participate in the conference every year, but also 80,000. ”
"Datang border?" Qin Lu became interested, "How do you say this?" ”
"Xiao Langjun doesn't know? There is a special camping area on the side of the West City Gate, and those who come late are arranged there, and those who enter the city are actually only a part. ”
Although his own shop was full, the innkeeper still had some regret when he said this, as if he didn't make any money from these people, which made him feel very pity.
