Chapter 15: The Strange City

Ao Suo gently held the chin of the beard with one hand, and said seriously: "I guess that there is a force that copied the entire Shang Capital before the collective migration of the people of Xinan, so that the people here can live in this world and in the past. However, when the people of the West were migrating, they only saw the storm reef, but they did not pass through this ancient merchant capital, and there must have been something else that we cannot know. ”

"If you can live a normal life here as you said, then it doesn't matter, where you live or not?"

"But the question is, this place itself is not normal, can it really live normally? If we can't survive, this city will block our way to the real Yuanding Continent, and we may really have to go back to squeeze Huludao with the people of the West. ”

Yuan Qinqin was stirred up by his analysis. Hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "In this way, listen to me, since we can still eat here for the time being, let's eat a full meal, first go to rent a house, find a job, and then find out what is going on here, it is better than going back to Huludao and returning to the sea to eat fish." ”

Yuan Qinqin: I can handle such a complicated situation so easily, I'm so calm!

Ao Suo: It's stupid, but it's a good idea.

After communicating for a long time, Yuan Qinqin learned that in Ao Suo's eyes, it turned out that the reaction of people here to external things was more or less sluggish or simply very tolerant, so they could try to let Maomao enter the city, and it was estimated that it would not cause any panic.

************

Open the door, the fresh air outside the window made Yuan Qinqin feel so comfortable that she had goosebumps, packed up Xiaodouding, and hurried to Maomao's room to see Maomao, Maomao's "room" has no door, not even the wall of the door, it doesn't like the feeling of being in the house, and occupied the original stable, Yuan Qinqin and Ao Suo had to clean up and give it a room, Maomao lived very well, and happily asked for a few quilts to grind his paws to play.

Afraid that it would stink at home, Yuan Qinqin told it that she would accompany it to the field outside the city every morning and evening, although Maomao was dissatisfied, she still agreed.

Relying on that big bag of money, Yuan Qinqin quickly took a fancy to this simple little yard, bought it, and spent a lot.

These days, after visiting the whole city, no one is willing to rent a house, but fortunately there is enough money and the house price is cheap.

A few people settled down in this strange ancient city in this way, Yuan Qinqin slipped Maomao, told it to play by itself, and after coming back for dinner at noon, he began to look for a job. But this time, Shangdu City did not show her the beauty of the beginning.

The shops all over the street were asked, and after the West Market asked the East Market, the courtyards of the big men also knocked on the doors one by one.

There is no full position, and she dislikes her for being old and has to take care of her children, these reasons are normal and bearable, but who can tell her what the teacher card of Zhutianshan is? Also, why do you even need the master card of Zhutianshan to be a shopkeeper??

Originally, after she turned around to no avail, she finally wanted to go to the Shixiang Pavilion to try, maybe she could move the boss, and it was the best choice to ensure the food of Xiaodouding here. But when she entered the door and saw the boss for the second time, the boss helplessly asked her to turn her head and look at the full-time junior who was running around in the lobby, and said that she would know if she looked at it.

I saw that he was not idle for a moment, greeting guests, reporting the name of the dish, cleaning up, being able to remember the needs of the guests in the hall without a pen, and also being able to do all the brain-consuming things at the same time to collect several tables of leftover dishes, and walk steadily without smashing, the guests in the whole hall are done, this is just like hanging up!

I came in before and just ate it, but now I see it not in surprise but in horror.

The boss beckoned to call Ah San, who had opened the hanging, over: "Show this the master card of your Heavenly Gate." ”

Xiao Er smiled innocently, stretched out his hand, and a sign decorated with a murderous and sassy bag appeared out of thin air, and the brand itself was very plain, pale moon white, exuding a shining light.

Just showed it for two seconds, this open Ah San, the soles of his feet were walking quickly with footwork that might be some kind of martial arts, and quickly turned to the battle, looking at his work carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was smooth, very smooth, and he was simply a master in the people.

Yuan Qinqin couldn't imagine that this was still in the ancient merchant capital five hundred years ago, seeing this, could she really have the confidence to go to the current Yuanding Continent to beg for a living? Suddenly, I felt that eating fish in the sea of resentment might be the most suitable way for them to survive.

"It's really not that I don't accept you, but you see, I really don't need to recruit people for the time being," he pointed upstairs, "I have a good business here, and the merchants and local folks like to come, and I will be short of people, so I want to expand the second floor." But even if I want to recruit people, I have to recruit children like him, who came out of the Gate of Heavens, and if one day you can be like him, let me spend the least money and do the most things, I will also recruit you. ”

After the boss finished speaking, seeing that she didn't move, he thought that she was still trying to convince herself, and politely suggested: "Otherwise, I will take you to see the kitchen and the clean bowl room?" ”

*****************

The house is cold and cold, and the candle is not lit, which is completely decadent. Yuan Qinqin was lying on the table weakly, Mao Mao and Xiao Douding were rolling in the yard, playing dirty.

Ao Suo, who went out to investigate, came back and saw this picture, when he entered the door, Xiao Douding was still drooling, and he opened his little mouth with few teeth to bite Maomao, the hairy child was obviously not in pain, and he teased Xiaodouding with a dead expression, and the child giggled.

took out a few roast chickens on her body and put them in Maomao's room, grabbed Xiaodouding from Da Maomao's body, looked at the defeated rooster-like woman, Da Ma Jindao sat opposite her, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" It was fine when I went out in the morning. ”

"Ignore me, I want to be alone."

"Have you eaten dinner?" Seeing that she shook her head, he said, "Let's go to the Shixiang Pavilion to eat, don't be hungry for Xiao Douding, I haven't eaten yet." ”

When she heard the words "Ten Fragrance Pavilion", she thought of the kitchen where Ah Sanhe had no courage to enter in the end, and felt an arrow in her heart.

"I'm not going, you can take Xiaodouding with you."

"You give me the little bean cube? You don't have to worry about me, I don't worry about him, he won't buy my account, and he won't eat what I feed. ”

"That's right. So what to do. "I went out for a walk today, and the streets were full of shame, and now there is probably no shopkeeper on the street who doesn't know her. Although she just wants to be quiet at this time, but the child wants to eat when he is hungry, and four meals a day are indispensable, how can she be willing to starve him.

"Why don't you go out with the small tripod at home, come back with a tripod of porridge, and eat together."

"It's fine." Ao Suo somehow, seeing her frustrated expression, actually put away his thoughts of teasing her for the first time, and decisively agreed to go out the door.

Yuan Qinqin changed her face and continued to put it on the table depressed: this situation is too similar to the situation when she just graduated, and she was rejected for a job in modern times, but it was okay at that time, and she couldn't even apply for the position of a shopkeeper.

At that time, she worked hard in the restaurant for a few years, and she was a little anxious, and a few years later, she became a lobby manager, and learned to speculate in stocks, and finally saved a small supermarket for herself when she was almost thirty years old.

In terms of self-reliance, she can be regarded as a tyrant among her peers, really, in addition to the size and appearance of men, she really has self-confident capital, but this ancient merchant capital gave her a very realistic blow, that is, because of the so-called power of gods and demons, the people here are all in a state of openness, and she can't even find a job in this era of openness. If only I could open a supermarket here......

That's it......!

Yes, she can't do anything else, but she once ran a small supermarket alone, and she still has entrepreneurial experience! Finally having the goal of breaking through the clouds, Yuan Qinqin cheered up a lot, and drove the Qinhui supermarket to the ancient continent of a different time and space, oops, how can this idea have a style!

Thinking about it, the more reliable she feels, accumulate more original funds, even if this ancient merchant is gone in the future, back to the Yuanding Continent, she and Xiaodou Ding Maomao will also have a guarantee of survival, Yuan Qinqin, you are too reliable!

Thinking about it, he hugged Xiaodouding and happily counted the rest of his money.

At this time, it was already dark, and Ao Suo, who was going out, walked on the street, always feeling very lonely, what was wrong? Even if people don't like to go out in the evening, there is no sound of chickens and dogs crowing, there are many wind lamps hanging on the roadside, and the originally lively shops next to them are quiet as if they have been abandoned for many years.

Coming to the street where the Shixiang Pavilion is located, it is even more surprising, it stands to reason that it is not too late at this time, they are looking for a house here, looking for a job, tossing for more than ten days, and there are also nights when they don't cook, when they go out to eat, just yesterday, this street is still bustling and lively, and the nightlife of the ancient merchants is also very rich. It's like this today, what's going on?

When he was exploring here, he found that the people in this ancient merchant capital basically did not go out of the city gate, and the so-called merchants who wanted to go far away would actually turn back by themselves if they couldn't go far, so everyone thought that they were still living in the most central position of the Yuanding Continent, but they didn't know that the periphery of this city was completely surrounded by sea water.

No one thought it was strange, and no one knew how long they had lived in this state.

Today, however, this should be the case. I touched the things that had accumulated a thick layer on the ground, and it was strange that there was no strong wind today, but the ground was full of sea sand.

Suddenly, a red figure flashed out in this uninhabited place, and in the darkness of the night, went straight to a certain place.

Slowly people began to be on the street, and the popularity became more and more popular, and he knew this street, which was near the city lord's mansion.

The red figure stopped on the roof of a room, and only stopped. She did nothing but quietly remove a green tile from the roof, under which the yellow candlelight of the room shone out, and she glanced into the hole, and sat down beside the hole, letting the night breeze blow her hair, motionless, like a statue growing on the roof.

Ao Suo thought to herself: This Hongling girl really likes this city lord, she was actually said by the stupid melon, such a good assassination opportunity, but she didn't do anything, just sat quietly and lonely in the cold wind. Surrounded by him every day but not letting him find out, Baba is waiting for this person to think of himself, what an incomprehensible love!

However, no, she had just suddenly appeared from an area where no one was apparently occupied, and the streets that came here were very abnormal, but she didn't squint all the way, thinking that she must know something.

A flash of light seemed to flash in Ao Suo's eyes, and he couldn't tell that the opportunity of this ancient merchant capital was on this Hongling girl!

Ao Suo, who bought food on this street where there were people, was so surprised that he put the porridge on the table and searched for it several times in the entire dark courtyard, and a fact made his back break out in a cold sweat: Yuan Qinqin, Xiaodouding, and even Maomao were gone!
