With Chef Dabi's sign, the guards no longer obstructed, opened the small door on the city gate, and the four of them swaggered into Fudi City.

Walking through the tall city wall, Li Fei had the illusion that he had crossed again.

The buildings on both sides of the street imitate the Tang Dynasty, which is full of ancient charm. There is a spacious bluestone pavement in the middle, which is smooth and clean. All kinds of shops are lively, and the streets are crowded, not to mention the crowds, but also the bustling hustle and bustle.

The focus is on people, there are all kinds of clothes, some are very modern, some are retro and almost primitive, and there are countless strange costumes. Most of the tourists are humanoid, and a small number of them remain in the form of half-beasts, and the extreme ones are just walking around the streets in their original form.

Ding Yiqiu was not surprised, and when he saw that Li Fei had never seen the market, he introduced, "Those who wear long robes and narrow sleeves and short boots are from Datang, and in the entire Eastern Divine Continent, Datang is the most powerful country, and they are also the most generous." Most of those who wear simplified contemporary clothes come from small countries, just to have fun and not to spend much. ”

While speaking, a sturdy primitive man who only surrounded a piece of animal skin walked towards him, Ding Yiqiu pulled Li Fei to give way, and whispered, "People dressed like this, don't mess with them, they are barbarians, they are very fierce, or they don't do it, or they will kill them, if they miss and kill them, they will raise the strength of the whole clan to retaliate." But they don't get into trouble for no reason. ”

Li Fei looked at it strangely, looking left and right, seeing everything was fun, a few people wearing bright silver armor and white cloaks attracted his attention, these people obviously exuded the momentum of people refining qi, with them as the center of three or four meters to form a vacuum, ordinary people will automatically avoid when they pass by.

Ma Liu'er leaned over and said enviously, "See, that's the Heavenly Soldier, the Heavenly Army under the command of the Heavenly Court Government belongs to it, and it maintains the order of the entire Shenzhou Ancient Realm, not to mention us, even the Tang Dynasty is polite to them." ”

Li Fei nodded after hearing this, and his heart was alive, "Heavenly Army, the sworn enemy of the scripture learning team, it's really not simple, just a small soldier can have such a sense of energy, I just don't know how many I can do now?" ’

He took a closer look a few more times, and a celestial soldier with two gold stars on his shoulders turned his head keenly to look at Li Fei, his brows furrowed, and one hand was placed on the saber at his side.

Lao Wang happened to step forward and catch Li Fei and introduce him to the 'Warm Flower Building' on the street, Tianbing looked at it a few more times, and then turned around and relaxed.

"Little brother, I think you're still a chick, this 'warm flower building' is the best place in our whole country, here ......"

Halfway through the words, Ding Yiqiu gave him a look at the door, "Don't instill your dirty thoughts into children, don't forget the business of this trip to the city." ”

After walking all the way, I turned several streets, and after more than an hour, when I could look up and see the legendary Huaguo Mountain, a magnificent temple appeared on the side of the road.

A tall golden statue of the Monkey King stands in the middle of the temple, and most of its body can be seen through the outer wall. But when I saw him, he had a golden hoop stick in one hand and a fist in the other, looking up at the sky, and a pair of golden eyes seemed to see through the sky. The chain gold armor is shining with golden light, the phoenix wings are purple and gold, and the blood-red cloak is hunting.

Ding Yiqiu and the three of them bowed together, and Li Feixue also bowed, his heart surging, "When I saw this lord, I called into the Journey to the West world, but I don't know if I will be lucky enough to meet in the future, chattering or something." ’

"This is the Great Sage Temple, it used to be just a small temple, the last generation of the Monkey King spent a lot of money to expand the temple, and also found the best sculpture master in Shenzhou to sculpt this golden body, it is strange to say, after the Great Sage Golden Body, the country is becoming more and more prosperous, and there is an endless stream of tourists, all of whom say that it is the manifestation of the Great Sage. Coming and going, people from all over the Shenzhou who believe in the Great Sage will come to worship, make wishes, and restore, and they all say that it is very effective. Ding Yiqiu introduced excitedly, and his expression was the most pious.

Li Fei was also excited, but it was far from the point of faith, and he looked at the entry manual, "It should be here, the competition will start tomorrow in the area of Temple Street, but where is the registration office, you can also help find it." ”

Ding Yiqiu looked at him in surprise, "Are you really going to the competition?" ”

"Nonsense, the four of us came in in the name of the contestants, wouldn't it be suspicious if we didn't compete?"

The four of them searched around, and finally found the registration point at the office next to the Dasheng Temple, and got a competition schedule after some formalities.

[Lucky City year-end cooking competition, the competition is divided into five days and five games, the organizer provides the venue, and the contestants prepare their own ingredients and kitchenware.

The schedule of the competition is as follows.

On the first day, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., the top 20 will be determined by the public score.

The next day, the rules remain the same, and the top 10 will be determined.

On the third day, the rules remain the same, and the top five will be determined.

On the fourth day, starting at 9 o'clock in the morning, the top three will be judged by well-known food groups in Shenzhou.

Day 5, Battle of the Champions.

The competition is organized by Shuitian Restaurant, Dongyi Restaurant, Guyue Restaurant, and Chang'an Restaurant...... More than 10 top restaurants will jointly organize, and the above restaurants will select chef candidates from the top 20 contestants.

The top three in this competition will be rewarded by the king of Huaguoshan himself!

Above! 】

Li Fei looked at the announcement of the competition and sighed at the good intentions of this cooking competition.

Open-air competitions, self-care ingredients, and free for tourists, no wonder the number of tourists skyrockets during the cooking competition.

What, the participating chefs are not happy?

This is the ability of the old monkey king, with more than a dozen top restaurants in the continent to select talents, I am afraid that your chef will not come?

The registration office at the East Gate is charged, 1 gold medal for a qualification card, in official words, the most important thing for a chef is self-confidence, if you don't have confidence in yourself, then it's better to go home and practice for seventeen or eighteen years as soon as possible.

Having said more, Li Fei naturally didn't have any interest in these things, so he booked his own competition booth with the staff, and put this matter down first.

It was almost noon when the four of them found a small restaurant that provided a simple meal, ten copper coins per person, three vegetarian and one salted fish, and the clear soup and rice were full. The four of them took the food to a corner near the window and discussed the next action.

Ding Yiqiu was quite familiar with the city, and lowered his voice, "Do you see that something is wrong in the city?" ”

"Is there one?" Not only Li Fei, but even Lao Wang and Ma Liu are a little inexplicable.

"Most of these shopkeepers and guys who came all the way are fresh faces, don't you think that in Fudi City, we natives look like outsiders?"

Listening to what he said, Lao Wang Ma Liu thought about it carefully, and his expression changed.

Lao Wang poked the salted fish and frowned: "According to what you say, it is indeed a little, I haven't been in the city for more than half a year, except for the warm flower building, the surrounding shops seem to be very unfamiliar." ”

Li Fei naturally didn't feel anything unusual when he hadn't been here, in comparison, he was more eager to enter the Cave Heaven Mansion to find out, "I want to enter the Cave Heaven Mansion, I don't know if Brother Ding has a way?" ”

Ding Yiqiu shook his head, "Little brother, don't be impatient, let's go find an inn first and then go out separately to find out the news, and then meet at night to discuss, I think things may be more serious than we think." ”

There was nothing more to say about the simple meal of forty copper plates, and the four of them had eaten a full meal, found a nearby inn, and within a few minutes, they returned to the street.

Ding Yiqiu rolled up a cigarette and took a puff, looked at the three guys in front of him with their heads down, and said angrily: "Li Fei is a child, forget it, why do you two come out with one or two silver coins, can you still do things?" ”

The cheapest single room in that inn is 2 gold a night, the disparity between the consumption in the city and outside the city is too great, a gold coin in the town can be used to eat and drink for two months, Ding Yiqiu's teahouse income in January can be seen, and he brought ten gold coins on this trip, which is all the private money that he has saved for so many years.

Ma Liu explained pitifully: "Don't you know my lioness? ”

Lao Wang sighed: "Don't you know about my she-bear?" ”

Ding Yiqiu lamented: "Forget it, you don't know about my family Xiuchun, don't mention it, let's look for it again, for the sake of state affairs, how can you take too much care of this yellow and white thing." ”

After walking around for another four or five streets, I came to a remote street that was not very popular, and found a humble inn with the words 'Hourly Room'.

A meatball-like proprietress at the front desk was holding a novel and reading it with relish, and the four of them didn't look up when they walked up, pointing to the sign.

'10 silver per clock, 50 silver for night, pay attention to hygiene, control the volume. ’

Li Fei was in a trance for a while, could this be the legendary ......

Ding Yiqiu coughed lightly, "One single room, three days, can you get a discount?" ”

The proprietress reluctantly put down the novel and glanced at the four people of different heights, "The old and the young, four, one room, it's crazy enough." ”

Ding Yiqiu's old face turned red, and he hurriedly explained, "Well, we are here to participate in the cooking competition, and the funds are limited, so please give a discount." ”

The proprietress smacked her lips, "You people, you are so ambitious, you want to soar into the sky, forget it, I will treat it as a good deed, let's accept you two gold first." ”

The four thanked them again and again, paid the money, and took the key.

When he was about to go upstairs, Li Fei glanced at the cover of the novel, "The Taste of the First Love of the Xuanling Fairy", and sighed in his heart, sure enough, books are the key to the soul.

Going up the narrow staircase, through the equally narrow aisle, the four of them squeezed into a room occupied by a large bed, and the four sighed in unison, agreed on the time, and returned to the street.

Lao Wang took 1 gold and said that he was going to Nuanhua Xiaolou to inquire about information.

Ma Liu took 50 silver and went to Dongcheng to have a look.

Ding Yiqiu went to the Beicheng brothers' house to find out.

Li Fei went to the most prosperous Xicheng by himself.
