When Lao Jiang came to the Dragon Gate Inn again, it was already the second month after nightfall. This time, Lao Jiang also brought a middle-aged man who was about the same age as him. The man's surname is Xing, and he is the sixth uncle of Xingyi Mountain.
Seeing the trembling crutches helping Cao Chen wipe the tables and chairs for free, Lao Jiang was surprised. "Oops! It's amazing. The meridians are broken, and they can be cured? Shopkeeper Cao, don't say that you are willing to give them 10,000 pieces of fat! ”
Wan Xu Fat is a special product of Feisha Lu, which is produced at the bottom of the sand sea and has the effect of healing the broken meridians. It's just that this 10,000 continuum fat is extremely difficult to find, and even if it is found, it is extremely difficult to refine, so the price is extremely expensive. Moreover, it is only rumored that it has the effect of healing the meridians, but the specific effect is not clear. At least no one has ever actually used Wan Xu Lipo to restore the meridians.
Cao Chen had come into contact with a lot of cultivators in the Dragon Gate Inn, and he naturally knew about some things in Feishalu. She smiled and said, "Old Jiang, don't look down on people, why am I reluctant?" ”
"Even if you can, you have to be able to afford it." Old Jiang laughed, he was not very familiar with Cao Chen, so naturally it was not easy to get to the bottom of it. He has been running business all the year round, and he can naturally see that although the meridians of the sword master and gratuitous are abolished, the temperament of the master cannot be hidden. Maybe the two of them had saved a lot of fat before, and I can't say for sure.
"Less nonsense, what to eat?"
"Let's start with four dishes." Lao Jiang said, and looked at Xingyi Mountain again, "Shaodong, it's been so long, you should go back." ”
"Humph!" Sixth Uncle Xing snorted coldly, and a pair of copper bell-like eyes glared at Xingyi Mountain.
Xing Yishan shuddered for a moment, and secretly glanced at the back of Cao Chen, who was walking towards the kitchen, before sighing, "Sixth uncle, I ......"
"Emotional matters, don't force it." Lao Jiang has read countless people, just looking at the expressions of Cao Chen and Xing Yishan, he knows how the progress of the two is. Afraid that Xing Lao Liu and Xing Yishan would quarrel, he said in a low voice, "We don't have a girl who wants more water, why do you fall in love with a vulgar rural village girl like Shopkeeper Cao?" She's good-looking, but she's really ......."
Xing Lao Liu looked at Xingyi Mountain with a disgusted face and said, "What a shame!" Isn't it just a woman? If you like it, just bring her back to the Chamber of Commerce. The young owner of the dignified Chamber of Commerce has been grinding for a woman here for so long, how will he inherit Baixing's family business in the future? ! ”
"I ......" Xing Yishan blushed, lowered his head, and said, "She doesn't like me." ”
"Hey, what bullshit likes and dislikes. Women, raw rice is cooked and ripe, and she can't help it. Xing Lao Liu smiled coldly, and took out a medicine bottle from the storage ring, the medicine bottle was only the size of a little finger, and on the bottle, there was a word "incense" written on it.
Xing Yishan was stunned as he looked at the medicine bottle. He understands the personality of his sixth uncle, and he naturally knows very well what is in this medicine bottle.
Xing Lao Liu stuffed the medicine bottle into Xing Yishan's hand, smiled, and said, "Jindan soft fragrance, I am reluctant to give it away." ”
Lao Jiang glanced at Xing Lao Liu, who had a lewd smile on his face, his brows twisted, and he sighed in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He is just a businessman, and in the Baixing Chamber of Commerce, his status is not much stronger than that of a helper, so he is naturally not qualified to say anything.
Back kitchen.
Smoke was rising from the oil pot, and the smell of incense overflowed. "Bigger fire!" Cao Chen yelled at the gratuitous one who was burning the fire, and then took out the dish and handed it to the sword master, "Be careful for me!" If you mess it up again, be careful that I beat you! ”
The sword master was on crutches, holding a plate, with a wry smile on his face, and said, "Got it." ”
Glancing at the sword master's trembling but steady back, Cao Chen exhaled. After staying up for so long, these two wastes can finally do some work, and Cao Chen is still very happy in his heart.
"Shopkeeper Cao's!" A voice rang out outside.
Cao Chen walked out of the back kitchen and saw a big man with a frosty face at a glance. "Oh, isn't this Third Brother Zhang?" glanced at Zhang San's somewhat embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but say again, "What's wrong?" ”
"Ahem, don't mention it." Zhang San said, "Hurry up and bring me a pot of wine for my brother, and warm up my body first." ”
Cao Chen cleaned up a table, asked Zhang San to sit down, poured wine, and then said, "Third brother, didn't you just go to Shahai for a few days?" How...... It looks like I've suffered a loss. ”
Zhang San drank wine with a bang, and a pot of wine went directly to most of it. After that, he exhaled a cold breath and said, "Sister of the Cao family, third brother, I was unlucky this time, I encountered a large group of smoothie beasts as soon as I entered the sand sea, if I didn't run fast, I would have to give an account for my life." Hey, it's not strange for you to say it, this Smoothie Beast likes to stay in the depths of the Sand Sea the most, on the periphery, but it is rare to see this kind of swarm of Smoothie Beasts, why did it suddenly ...... Well, it's weird. ”
"Weird, you slowly think about how weird, I'll fry two hard dishes for you." Cao Chen said with a smile.
"No, just soft ones. Your hard dish, I've learned it, it's too hard to bite. Zhang Sandao.
"Hey, I think it's okay."
"Cough, girl, I didn't say you, your cooking skills are much better than Lao Chen'er, but compared with the big restaurant, it's still too bad."
"Don't be funny, what people make is spiritual food, and I am just ordinary food, I can't compare." Cao Chen said, and went into the back kitchen to get busy.
Xing Lao Liu glanced at Cao Chen's back, then looked at the Zhang San, looked at Lao Jiang, and transmitted the voice into the secret passage, "This Zhang San, could it be the Three Musketeers?" ”
Lao Jiang nodded and replied, "Although the Smoothie Beast is not fierce in this flying sand land, it dares to go to the Sand Sea alone, and the master who can escape with his whole body when he encounters a group of Smoothie Beasts is amazing, and he is worthy of the name of the Three Musketeers." ”
The two of them were a means of transmitting sound into the secret, Xing Yishan couldn't hear it, but he couldn't help but use the sound transmission to enter the secret and ask Lao Jiang, "Uncle Jiang, is this guy the Three Musketeers?" Seeing Lao Jiang nodding, he asked again, "Why are you called the Three Musketeers?" He's alone. ”
"He has three swords. One in the hand, one in the heart, one in heaven and earth. Old Jiang said, "Although he only cultivates as a golden pill, he has killed two smart masters at the same time. ”
Since Zhang San arrived, there have been several cultivators who have returned from the Sand Sea one after another, and many of them have been injured. One of them, as soon as he stepped into the Dragon Gate Inn, died with a whimper.
Cao Chen listened to the voice of the deceased's companion shouting for the sky and grabbing the ground, although he was pitiful, he also felt unlucky. However, over the years, Cao Chen has also been accustomed to seeing these cultivators who came back from the sea of sand or died or injured, but he is also used to it.
"It's weird!" A cultivator with an injured arm glanced at his frozen arm and sighed, "What's wrong with this year's Smoothie Beast?" They all ran to the periphery. Could it be that something has happened in the sea of sand? ”
Everyone talked about it for a while, and there were always various speculations about the changes in the sand sea, but there was no credible statement. Many cultivators who originally planned to go to the Sand Sea or hunt sand beasts or experience training also hesitated, and most of them stayed in the Dragon Gate Inn.
Cao Chen has been busy all day, and his waist is almost tired.
After settling in the last guest, Cao Chen returned to his room, didn't even bother to do the daily inherent cultivation, and lay down directly on the bed, and fell asleep.
in the hallway.
Xingyishan listened to the snoring sound coming from the room, one hand clenched tightly, and trembled.
