Chapter 377: Dinner
"That's what the third brother said. A small party between a few of us? Ah Niu's mouth couldn't be closed for a long time, looking at the situation in front of him, Ah Niu wondered if he was in the wrong place.
Between the two city walls of Fengxiang City is the new area of the main city after it was upgraded from a third-level town to a first-class city. Since the stone walls were still unfinished and could not yet provide normal security, the area between the two walls was not well opened and large tracts of land were left vacant.
These lands were used as temporary playgrounds by many Fengxiang villagers, and there was an endless stream of villagers who ran for a walk after dinner. As we all know, as the stone walls are nearing completion, this vacant land will soon be opened into houses or shops, so in recent days more and more villagers have come here to relax.
But today's number of people is still more than Ah Niu's prediction.
There are more than 10,000 villagers in the clearing, and within the sight of Ah Niu, the villagers who are coming to the open space on the street are still walking in a steady stream.
A certain city lord has already seen the master blacksmith Zhou Ting, the master breeder Uncle Kasan, the intermediate groom Niu Huang, and the senior businessman Wu Youcai...... And Gao Shun, who has always eaten and lived with the trapping camp and rarely comes out to hang out, also appeared in Ah Niu's sight.
"Why is everyone here, what day is today?" A certain city lord wondered.
"My lord, tonight is the day of the whole city's gathering." A man came out from behind a certain city lord, black and thin. Laughing very arrogantly, who else is there besides Pang Tong?
"Is there such a thing? How come I, the lord of the city, don't know? Ah Niu has now noticed that many of the villagers who arrived first have already started to build firewood piles in the open space, and more villagers are chatting excitedly.
"That's right. Lord, although you are the lord of Fengxiang, this gathering does not need to be paid for by the territory, all the food and consumption are borne by the villagers in the territory, and belong to the villagers' own activities; The content of the party is a barbecue party, and there is nothing unhealthy; In addition, the time of the party is in the evening, and it will not affect the normal production in the territory, so I calculated it with Sun Liang, and this matter was not publicized by the lord. ”
In any case, it is obviously wrong to not let the lord know in advance about such a "large-scale event" involving the whole territory, and it is okay to keep Ah Niu in the dark! But Pang Tong's words were so clear that Ah Niu couldn't find a reason to accuse them. Pang Tong grasped the "tolerant and benevolent" pulse of a certain city lord very accurately, and Ah Niu was not easy to do for a while.
Among the many villagers, Ah Niu even saw Hao Yin, the mayor of Dukang Town, and some chefs working in the brewery of Dukang Town, you must know that these people do not live in the main city of Fengxiang. Before Ah Niu could ask, Pang Tong had already said:
"Lord, there is always something to eat at the party, and of course there must be enough cooks for so many people to eat. In this gathering, representatives from all affiliated territories participated, but unfortunately we have a lot of people in Fengxiang and few places, so we can't let everyone participate. Pang Tong seemed to be quite depressed about this, and shook his head helplessly.
A certain city lord felt that if he said a few more words to Pang Tong, he might be angry to death, so Ah Niu hurriedly took the little fish and fled away. Along the way, villagers kept waving to the two, and Ah Niu only appeared now. Maintaining a smile for a long time is not an easy thing to do.
Fortunately, it didn't take long to see Wang Yue, Liu Xing and others, leading a group of dark flower martial artists to look at Ah Niu and Xiaoyu happily.
"Fourth brother, come quickly." Wang Yue beckoned.
Together with Xiaoyu, sit down next to Wang Yue. It didn't take long for Pang Tong, Sun Liang, Gao Shun, Lu Han and others to follow, and after a while, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai also arrived from Ship Town, and the last to join were Zhao Xue and Cai Wenji.
By the way, Xiaoxue is the commander of the Flying Wing Battalion, and this beauty is far more serious than Ah Niu expected in terms of training troops, but after all, Xiaoxue can't spend a good time in the barracks like Gao Shun and others, and the ten new transferred generals in the Flying Wing Battalion also have something to do, and Xiaoxue still has a lot of free time.
When Cai Yan first arrived in Fengxiang, Xiaoxue ran to Cai Yan's residence with great interest, although the two were literate and martial, and they didn't seem to have much intersection, but they were extremely close to each other. The two are of the same age, both are beautiful and elegant, and it didn't take long for the two to be as good as one person, and they came together to participate in the party this time.
In fact, Cai Yan didn't want to participate in this party, but he couldn't bear to sweep Xiaoxue's excitement, so he had to follow. Along the way, I don't know how many villagers were distracted, and there were no less than ten "traffic accidents", and finally came here, and was dragged by Zhao Xue to sit down on Wang Yue's left.
"Xiaoxue, is today a festival unique to Fengxiang?" Cai Yan had never seen so many civilians get together, and asked curiously.
"Holidays? Sort of! You'll find out what's going on later. Zhao Xue smiled mysteriously and said a few words in Cai Yan's ear, as if inadvertently gesturing to Wang Yue's right and the direction where Ah Niu was.
Cai Yan's face suddenly became strange.
Before the party started, Ah Niu and Xiaoyu had been chatting. Even Wang Yue and the others didn't pay much attention. Thinking about it, the whole territory knows that there will be a party tonight, and the lord of Ah Niu alone does not know the truth, and a feeling of being tricked arises spontaneously. The most frustrating thing is that no one even gave him any hints from his sworn brothers and loyal subordinates.
"What else do you say, don't you understand that everyone wants to surprise you?" Xiao Yu's faint words made Ah Niu suddenly understand.
Such a big thing, only hiding it from Ah Niu alone, except that he wants to surprise this guy, can there be any other explanation? Ah Niu's feelings suddenly became high, but he didn't think through it for a while: why do the villagers suddenly need at least a gimmick to hold this party, why?
While pondering, there were already a few more people behind him, and it was only under Xiaoyu's gentle reminder that Ah Niu reacted. Master tailor Zhao Jiang and others were standing there with a smile.
"Lord of the city, I heard that the little fish girl is back, so I made a set of clothes and wanted to give them to the little fish as a gift." Zhao Jiang was holding a piece of fiery red equipment in his hand, although he couldn't see the direct effect yet, but the gorgeous appearance, noble style, and faintly emerging red light were enough to make people look forward to it.
Although Xiao Yu was a little caught off guard by this, he still thanked Zhao Jiang very politely, and when Ah Niu saw the attributes of the equipment, he immediately gasped.
Phoenix Flame Armor: An armor made in the form of a flaming phoenix, extremely luxurious and graceful, with a minimum equipment level of 35, which can be equipped by women. Defense 2o, Physique +4, Reaction +1o, Slash, Thorn, Smash, Shoot, Water, Fire, Demon, and Immortal Defense +5% each, Armor Weight 8.
This is the attribute of the Phoenix Flame Armor, the attribute of the bull fork to the extreme!
Feng Xiang's current hot-selling 4O level equipment Nanban Armor's main stats: Defense 4O, Physique +6. +6 Reflex, +5 each for Slash, Stab, Shot, and Water Defense, and 25 for Weight.
In addition to its high defense and physique, the other attributes of the Nanban Armor cannot be compared to the Phoenix Flame Armor at all! The minimum level requirements, reactions, attribute defense values, and weight are all beyond the reach of the Nanban Armor.
In particular, the feature of +5% defense for all 8 attributes makes the Phoenix Flame Armor have immeasurable value. Nowadays, almost everyone knows the importance of attribute defense, which is far above physical defense. Armor usually only has 2 to 4 types of stat defense, and even players have almost already guessed that it is impossible to have more than 4 types of attribute defense on the same piece of armor.
Now Ah Niu knows that this conjecture has been completely helled over!
The value of the Phoenix Flame Armor is self-evident!
The only regret is that the Phoenix Flame Armor can only be equipped by women, and the majority of male compatriots can only watch with their eyes, how cruel this is.
If this kind of armor can be mass-produced, it will inevitably bring a lot of money to Feng Xiang, you must know that although there are more men and fewer women in the game, the total number of female players is still very high. Like the Phoenix Flame Armor, with its gorgeous appearance and strong attribute defense, it will definitely become a favorite of female players.
As we all know, a woman's money is the best to earn......
It's a pity that Ah Niu didn't plan to mass-produce the Phoenix Flame Armor, and even a certain city lord instructed Zhao Jiang on the spot not to produce a second Phoenix Flame Armor unless he got his consent. Zhao Jiangshi paused for a moment, and then agreed with a smile, Zhao Jiangshi must have seen that Ah Niu didn't want this armor to appear on other players.
The phoenix flame armor that Zhao Jiang gave to Xiaoyu, how could Ah Niu use it as a tool to make money? A simple idea prompted a certain city lord to make a big abnormal decision.
"This is a new type of peony flower that we have just cultivated in Baicao Town, called Drunken Beauty. It was specially given to the little fish girl. ”
"And the only elixir that I used countless elixirs and spent a lot of effort to refine...... "The Great Returning Pill refined by the Danfang, after the player uses it, he can increase a little free ability points, which is equivalent to a level of promotion in plain white, but the refining of the Great Returning Pill is very difficult, and each player is only effective when taking the first pill."
"And ......"
After a while, Xiaoyu received a lot of gifts.
Senior blacksmith Zhou Ting sighed beside him, and when Sun Liang asked puzzled, the master blacksmith said in annoyance: "The tailor can send clothes, the medicine farmer can send flowers, what can we blacksmiths send?" I have no ability, but the problem is that I can't give the little fish girl a weapon. ”
Sun Liang couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
A certain city lord's face was cloudy, Xiao Yu only came back today, and the current situation, it is obvious that these NPCs have long foreseen that Xiao Yu will return. And the corresponding preparations have been made, which can be said to have been planned for a long time. Pulling Pang Tong, who was still snickering, aside, and after some severe torture and questioning, Ah Niu finally understood at this time.
This matter also started when Ah Niu accompanied Lu Zhi and Cai Yan back to Fengxiang.
Di Yun only stayed in Fengxiang City for one night that time, and the next day he set out on the journey to Liangzhou again, but that night was enough for Di Yun to do something.
Di Yun is also the old man of Feng Xiang, and after a long absence, a group of military generals with Lu Han as the group of transferred generals drank with Di Yun that night. And Liu Xing is also an idle person, Feng Xiang's transferred generals were all his disciples, and they were also very familiar with Di Yun, so Liu Xing also participated in the party that night.
Di Yun, who had only come back once in a long time, became the object of course for everyone to drink that night, and in less than an hour, Di Yun was already drunk eighty percent. Like Li Qi, Di Yun, who is drunk, will also say things that he usually doesn't say or dare to say.
"You know what? Our mistress is coming back soon! It's a pity that I'm leaving tomorrow, but it's a pity that ......."
Such news, of course, attracted everyone's attention, especially Liu Xing. The housemother in Di Yun's mouth is Liu Xing's younger brother and sister, it seems that Ah Niu has not reported this matter to his brothers!
In order to let Di Yun, who was a little drunk, explain things clearly, Liu Xing directly asked someone to bring a bucket of cold water to make Di Yun sober up. As a result, what Li Qi accidentally revealed fell into the ears of these people.
When the interrogation was over, the crowd dispersed.
"The fourth brother is going to get married? No, I don't know at all! ”
Wang Yue was confused, and Liu Xing had to explain patiently. In fact, Wang Yue has never seen Xiaoyu, when Xiaoyu arrived at Fengxiang, the hero was already looking for talents for Fengxiang outside, and when Wang Yue came back, Xiaoyu was almost never on the line. Fortunately, Liu Xing has still seen Xiaoyu, and has a good impression of the gentle and quiet Xiaoyu.
"The second brother and the fourth brother actually teamed up to hide from us, it's too unusual! Be sure to give them some color! Liu Xing was angry and wanted to "take revenge".
"That's right. The fourth brother is now a five-grade official of the imperial court, Fengxiang is also the first city in the world, our territory can be said to be full of strong soldiers and talents, Fengxiang, it is time to have a mastermother. I'm a little worried, with the fourth brother's emotional mune, what if this kid is still so tepid after Xiaoyu comes back, and he makes people angry again? Daxia Wang Yue thought about it and said seriously.
This time, even Liu Xing didn't mention the matter of "revenge", and the two of them calculated how to help a certain city lord uncover the layer of window paper. That night, the two brothers went their separate ways.
Wang Yue found Pang Tong and Sun Liang, and in his opinion, it was better for the literati to solve such "nerve-wracking" things as emotionally.
When Pang Tong heard Wang Yue's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately made a plan: when Xiaoyu came back, he would invite the two to a party together, and find a way to promote good things in the process. There should be fewer people at the party, and it must have a good relationship with Ah Niu, of course, Xiaoxue must be present, and when there are girls present, Xiaoyu is not so easy to be nervous.
Liu Xing found the master tailor Zhao Jiang overnight and asked her to personally customize a set of clothes for Xiaoyu, which was the Phoenix Flame Armor that Xiaoyu received.
If things had continued on such a trajectory, there would not have been a grand occasion where so many people gathered today, and there was a little accident......
When Liu Xing asked Zhao Jiang to make a set of clothes for girls, Zhao Jiang thought that this hero had a sweetheart, so he made a joke. Unexpectedly, this made Liu Xing call out to hit the sky, this hero seems to be an authentic virgin for more than 30 years, in order to correct his name, he accidentally told the truth of the matter. Liu Xing, who had saved his senses, couldn't wait to give himself two slaps, but the matter had come to this point, so he had to beg Zhao Jiang's family to keep it a secret, but fortunately, the master also agreed very cooperatively, and when he knew that it was a gift to the future "master mother", Zhao Jiang's was even more energetic, and he waved a very high level to make a satisfactory work like the Phoenix Flame Armor.
"The lord of the castle's sweetheart is coming...... You know for yourselves, and don't sue anyone! Zhao Jiang couldn't help but sue the sisters of the tailor shop in the primary equipment center.
I have to admit that since he is a master-level talent, he is not necessarily so reliable, especially when this master-level talent is still a woman...... Ahem, don't expect anything more.
After the more than a dozen female NPCs of the tailor shop found out, of course, they also solemnly swore that they would never leak secrets, but unfortunately, for some reason, the news of "the mother of the house is about to appear" still spread to all corners of the territory with an astonishing degree.
In fact, it is not only Zhao Jiang's who leaked the secret, but also the generals who have turned to the military to express their interest in when the lord will be able to handle the matter of the "master mother". It is said that there have been some people who have nothing to do and have opened a handicap. Since there is a handicap, of course, the more people who want to bet, the better, so the spread of the news will be faster.
Except for some old people in Fengxiang, most of the villagers have never seen Xiaoyu, and more villagers are extremely interested in Xiaoyu himself. For this legendary girl who was able to "capture the heart of the city lord", everyone is waiting to see.
"The lord of the castle has been busy with the affairs of the territory, and his happiness has been delayed. No, we have to do something. When many villagers say this, they will never admit that their curiosity is at work.
"Is the little fish here?" This sentence has almost become a mantra when the villagers of Fengxiang meet recently.
Under such circumstances, the "low-key" gathering that Wang Yue and others originally wanted has become the current festival, the whole city. Fengxiang villagers, who have always enjoyed high salaries and benefits, do not feel that organizing such activities at their own expense is a burden at all, but a rare pastime.
In the past few days before Xiaoyu appeared, the villagers of Fengxiang had been waiting silently, completing all the preparations, and even Ah Niu didn't notice it for a long time!
As soon as Xiaoyu appeared in the tavern, He Huanting's business immediately exploded; Although tonight's gathering was decided in the afternoon, the villagers had already made preparations.
Fengxiang people's support for himself once again moved Ah Niu.
"Lord, Master Zhao's craftsmanship is not covered, if the master of Xiaoyu is ...... The little fish girl should look even better when she wears that phoenix flame armor. Pang Tong approached with a smile, looking very flat.
Originally, Xiao Yu felt a little overwhelmed, but now when he heard the word "master mother", his face turned red all of a sudden.
Ah Niu also stood there crying and laughing, and then Wang Yue got up and came over, patted a certain city lord on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Fourth brother, it's not the eldest brother who said you, how could you have left Xiaoyu girl out in the cold before, what a good girl, it won't be like that in the future!" If you dare to bully your younger siblings in the future, be careful that your brother kills his relatives and eliminates harm for the people! ”
Xiaoyu longed for a crack in the ground to be able to get into, and now she thought that this scene was deliberately arranged by Ah Niu, although she was very happy and very moved, but her face was still a little unbearable. glared at Ah Niu fiercely, and then quickly buried his head and remained silent.
Ah Niu was not intimidated by Wang Yue's "threat", but he was slightly distracted when he was glared at.
Just when a certain city lord was stunned, Xiaoxue had already run to Xiaoyu's side, and a sister called Zhenghuan, which also resolved Xiaoyu's embarrassment.
The dinner began.
There are still many villagers who come to give gifts to Xiaoyu, which is piled up into a small mountain bag, and Xiaoxue is very envious.
"Alas, why are so many people giving gifts, but none of them are for me?" A certain city lord was still moaning there without illness, and Pang Tong had already heard it, and muttered in a low voice: "Giving it to Xiaoyu's mother, doesn't it mean giving it to you?" ”
The villagers of Fengxiang gave gifts, of course, for the reason of Ah Niu.
Although no matter how much you drink and how much you eat in the game, you won't be able to hold it up, but there are constantly enthusiastic villagers who come to give gifts, at least a few polite words, Xiaoyu has just gone through a long journey, and looks a little tired. It didn't take long for Ah Niu and Xiao Yu to retire, and as for the gifts, naturally Sun Liang and others were responsible for moving back to Ah Niu's city lord's office.
The departure of a certain city lord is not early, but there is one earlier than him and Xiaoyu: Cai Yan.
Cai Yan had just arrived in Fengxiang, and Cai's family education was very strict, so he didn't want to participate in such a party. If it weren't for Zhao Xue's excitement this time, Cai Wenji would not have been able to come out at all.
The scene of more than 20,000 people eating and drinking together was certainly fun, but Cai Yan still felt uncomfortable, and after eating something hastily, he hurriedly retired.
On the way back, Cai Yan's face was extremely lonely. (To be continued)
