Chapter 122: Shura Field
The meal was very windy, and Huang Xia didn't seem to have much appetite, so he asked Xiao Er for a pot of water, and while taking out the tea leaves he carried with him from his arms, he made tea by himself.
"Ah Dongdaoyou, since you have something to eat, why do you still drink that unpalatable Divine Rune Tea?" Nanshan chewed the strong meat tendons of the old braised elbow in his mouth and asked suspiciously.
Huang Xia sneered, thinking to himself that this is not a divine rune tea, but even if it is, it is to maintain the most basic "dignity" of a person who cultivates immortals - what kind of body does it become if he eats greasy at every turn?
However, Huang Xia smiled faintly on the surface: "When you just enter the realm of Yihua, you naturally have to consolidate your foundation for a while, hasn't Miss Anan experienced it before?" ”
"Huh?" Nanshan pointed at himself with a sauce-stained finger, shook his head, and said, "No." ”
"Impossible."
"Really. In my opinion, if cultivating immortals will make me lose the fun of being a human being, then what is the meaning......" Nanshan looked at his fingers, simply didn't take the chopsticks, and directly grabbed a pancake with his hand, carefully sandwiched the slices of the roast duck in the hanging oven into the cake, and gently rolled it up, while not forgetting to brush with a layer of sweet and spicy sweet and spicy sauce.
"It's really not like a cultivator who has forgotten his mind can say this......" Araxia shook his head and continued to drink tea.
Xiao Er was still serving all kinds of colorful dishes to the table one by one, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, although he saw that Nanshan was not very well-dressed at first, not to mention the tattered clothes on his body, and it was dirty, but when he saw the barren summer of his peers, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This temperament, this dress, and those Huanpei Yujue on his waist who almost blinded his eyes, if it weren't for the big wrong, he, the shopkeeper who had been running the hall for ten years, would be able to write his name upside down!
As for why a man dressed in white clothes and with elegant manners should bring an unkempt "little beggar" who is neither male nor female? Naturally, this shouldn't be a question that he should speculate on as a shopkeeper.
At this time, the surrounding diners turned their eyes to their table, after all, Nanshan and Huang Xia didn't look like foodies with big bellies and round waists, but they really ordered a large table of delicious food.
However, the chatter of the diners did not affect Nanshan's meal after all, but fortunately, many dishes in this restaurant are known for their exquisiteness, except for three meat dishes that seem to be full of portions, most of the others are only half the weight of Nanshan's palm.
The shopkeeper still accompanied the smiling face as always, asking Nanshan for suggestions on dishes, while nodding to Huang Xia from time to time, as if he was making some kind of hint.
Huang Xia saw it in his eyes, although there was no anxiety in his heart at this time, but he was also a little embarrassed, but his face was calm, and when he drank the last sip of tea in the cup, he finally spoke: "Xiao Er, settle the bill." ”
Xiao Er couldn't wait to clappe his hands when he heard this, and happily responded: "Okay, the two distinguished guests have a total of ninety-six taels." ”
Nanshan grinned, with both hands on the table, like a pug full of expectation, for the Adong friend in front of her who was in a hurry to "repay Miss Anan for saving her life", she naturally did not have any embarrassment, on the contrary, she felt that please eat a meal, and in a restaurant in such a port town, she did not dislike the tables, chairs and tableware, and did not dislike the simple and low-grade dishes...... This is already enough face, right?
It's just that what Nanshan didn't expect was that the opposite Daoist friend reached out to take out the money bag in his arms extremely slowly, which made her heart tighten.
"A Dongdaoyou?" Nanshan waved his five fingers in front of him, and then smiled greasy at the shopkeeper.
"Xiao Er, I think the pricing in your store is quite unreasonable."
Araxia's hand for the money paused, and finally pulled it out empty-handed.
The smile that the shopkeeper piled up froze on his face, and it took a long time for a sentence to come out: "What do you mean by this, distinguished guest?" ”
"For example, this anchovy stew was supposed to be whole anchovy deboned and skinned, poured with fresh soup, and served with green onions, ginger and vinegar saucer dipping sauce, but you only gave this egg a small piece of the size, not to mention that the quality is slightly inferior, just the texture of the fish...... It looks like it's a far cry from anchovy, Xiao Er, don't you want to be shoddy? Araxia raised his handsome and extraordinary face and asked in a deep voice.
The shopkeeper was stunned by his question, but he was afraid of the momentum of the deserted summer, so he didn't rashly attack, but only bowed patiently and said: "What did the guest officer say, although our Ningjiang Town is small, but our store is also a time-honored brand in the town, how can it be shoddy?" As for this anchovy stew, the guest officer doesn't know, now is not the season for anchovy, and all those who can get this one are worshiped by the dragon king...... It's just a little smaller, so after deboning and peeling, there is only so much tender meat. ”
Shopkeeper pointed to the empty plate that had been licked clean by Nanshan, and stood up straight, if someone was careful to observe, he would find that although Xiao Er's words just now were respectful, his tone was unquestionable, and he had changed the previous title of "distinguished guest" to "guest officer".
"Oh?" Araxia looked calm, "Didn't you hear me clearly?" I don't care about the size of the fish, but you don't use anchovy at all, right? ”
"This ...... How is this possible. Xiao Er's hands were rubbing on the trouser tubes, and the smile on his face was a little reluctant.
"And your pricing, it must also depend on people to serve the food, right?" Huang Xia chuckled, squinted at the wooden signs behind the counter, and said, "All the dishes on the table are added together, but they are only twenty-five taels of silver, and your little two will cost ninety-six taels when you open your mouth, isn't it a black shop?" ”
"You, you guest officer is so unreasonable!" The shopkeeper's face changed suddenly, and he naturally wouldn't reveal that he was actually "instructed" by the shopkeeper in the back kitchen just now, and he deliberately doubled the price of all the dishes on this table in Nanshan several times.
Thinking about it, this "wronged boss" who is dressed in white and hasn't even moved his chopsticks since he entered the door should be a very good blackmail character......
Xiao Er felt that he was at a loss, but he didn't want to show his cowardice in front of other diners, let alone confirm the reputation of their "black shop" restaurant.
"Shopkeeper! There are people here who want to pay their bills! The shopkeeper shouted at the counter with his head held high, looking like a proud rooster.
With a few shouts from the shopkeeper who was louder than Xiao Er, six big men rushed in from the back kitchen and backyard, two of them should be cooks, holding kitchen knives in their hands, and one should be chopping wood in the backyard, directly carrying an axe in their hands.
And Nanshan's expression was very subtle, she patted her somewhat full belly, and laughed, as if all this happening now had nothing to do with her.
Huang Xia frowned, he stood up slowly, his face was full of disgust and helplessness, could it be that he was forced to be a cultivator who was only half a step away from the immortal body, and used spells to deal with it in order to get out of trouble?
His thumb gently pinched the joints on his hands, and he used to go out with a few guards every time, and they took care of all the big and small affairs, so he didn't have to worry about it at all. Now these big men are menacing, but it makes him feel embarrassed, this is like a few ants climbing on their boots, you don't want to use a bright sword to dismantle them, right?
But the awkward moment didn't last long, and just as the axe-wielding handyman was about to step forward first, there was a burst of loud laughter outside the window.
Several big men who were eager to try stiffened, and suddenly felt as if they were bound by some invisible rope, and they couldn't move.
Immediately afterwards, their hands and feet trembled, and those with axes shook off the axes in their hands, and those with kitchen knives immediately lost their grip on the handles, and even almost cut off the forepaws of their feet by the falling blades......
A gorgeously dressed noble son sat on the windowsill, the shopkeeper who had already been standing in place twisted his stiff neck to look over, Leng Buding that noble son raised his hand, a golden arc crossed in mid-air, the shopkeeper subconsciously held his palms upward, and when he looked down, there was already a gold ingot in his palm.
"Well, ten taels of gold to watch a group of Han dancers, it's worth it! It's worth it! The noble prince smiled and clapped his hands, and the movements of the big men became bigger and bigger, and several of them shook uncontrollably, showing a bitter look on their faces.
Huang Xia's face at this time seemed to be overshadowed, his eyes were solemn, and he silently moved his gaze to the face of the noble son, and it just so happened that the noble son also seemed to glance at it casually-
The four eyes collided, and a fierce killing intent was born in an instant, and the entire restaurant, and even the most prosperous street in Ningjiang Town, seemed to shake at this moment.
The huge energy spread out like ripples of water, and everyone in the restaurant felt a feeling of discomfort that made them feel suffocated, but they couldn't escape, and even an exclamation was stuck in the bottom of their throats and couldn't be released.
However, at this critical moment, Nanshan was trying to curl up and carefully hide himself under the table.
"Shura Field, Shura Field...... I ask the gods and Buddhas to bless him, he didn't see me, he didn't see me......" Nanshan hugged his head and whispered to himself.
