Chapter Twenty-Eight: In Qingyuan Town
Xu is overworked, this night everyone is sleeping extra sweet, in the morning, the proprietress has prepared a little breakfast, buns, porridge with side dishes, although it is some coarse tea and light food, but also eat very refreshing, a few side dishes, pickled is also very delicious. After a night's rest, most of them recovered their spirits, except for the little chef, who was a bit like a beaten eggplant. Obviously, he was educated by Wang Wei last night, and finally stayed in the inn after being comforted by Wang Wei.
The chef trio, plus Wu Wei, Zhang Cheng, and Li Yi and Zhou Yi are naturally indispensable, and these eight people formed a team to go to Qingyuan Town.
Yan Xu and Cheng Wu also wanted to go, but after some summing, they still gave up for the time being, after all, this time they were just exploring a way to exchange the source currency, so they made an appointment to go again next time by them in turn.
Although Qingyuan Town is already in the field of vision, but it is still a lot of distance to go straight, all the way to see is a large area of fields exuding the smell of green soil, according to the proprietress said, this is the crop manor outside Qingyuan Town, and further, it is the scattered wooden houses, which live about the owner of these fields.
Between the meadows and the fields, there were many old farmers who ploughed the land, with a healthy bronze complexion formed by the sun's exposure, and the shepherd boy who drove the sheep, occasionally showing them a look at them, but they only stopped for a moment and turned back, focusing on their own affairs, and during this time, they must have seen a lot of people who went to Qingyuan Town like them.
"See!"
Li Yi let out a cheer of joy, seven or eight zhang high stone wall from the horizon in front of the head of the head, the closer you walk, the more you can feel his majestic appearance, the unknown black huge stone is neatly aligned, the high wall is like half of the copper wall, the edge of the stone wall, has been polished by the rain smooth and smooth, can not find a trace of gaps, revealing a sense of vicissitudes of time.
At the end of the road is the East Gate of Qingyuan Town, a huge wooden gate that opens wide on both sides, like a majestic giant beast, welcoming travelers and guests from all directions. The city wall is about more than ten meters high, and directly above the city gate is the place where the city tower is, which is also the guard house that the proprietress said, responsible for the registration office of outsiders who enter Qingyuan Town for the first time.
There are a total of 12 soldiers on both sides of the gate, who are tirelessly checking the identity cards of the entrants, if they do not have identity cards, they will be taken to the castle tower for registration and distribution, the initial issuance of identity cards is the shortest period of seven days, after the expiration of seven days, you need to go to the town center to replace, at that time there will be an appropriate fee according to the identity card handled. At the same time, as long as you are in Qingyuan Town, no matter where you spend, you must show your identity card.
Of course, the only thing that the castle tower of the guard does is to register and issue a seven-day identity card, and the identity card that exceeds seven days must be applied for at the town center, and it will not be accepted by an agent here.
The steps of registering and registering are not troublesome, and there are no other people except Wu Wei and his group, but it takes half an hour to wait for the completion of the identity card.
"Name, gender, where do you come from, where are you going, and what is the purpose?" said a goatee in one of the offices, brushing his long beard, and asking in a routine manner, recording what everyone said from time to time, the process was extremely simple, and there would be no detailed research, just a record of the people entering the city, but if something was done, these records would be used as the basis for investigation and comparison.
After registration, the next step is to make an identity badge.
"Eggplant. Wu Wei squeezed out a smile expressionlessly, responding to the other party's words.
Half an hour later, everyone got the freshly baked identity card in their hands.
The identity tag is a palm-sized piece of wood, with the portrait and name of the registrant on the front, and a series of letters and numbers below, arranged in the order of about three letters, the date and three letters, which will be retained as the unique number of the registrant, and the back is the address of the health office that issued the identity tag.
Everyone put away their identity cards and entered Qingyuan Town under the leadership of the soldiers.
Boisterous. This is the first impression of Qingyuan Town.
The bloated flow of people crowded everyone's eyes in an instant, and I have to say that the flow of people on this Qingyuan main street is not much better than the lively and bustling city pedestrian street. This small town that brings together the mortal world and the fairyland can't help but make everyone's eyes shine, the metal and plastic products of the mortal world can be seen here, and even in the streets and alleys, there are many children still playing games that were eliminated decades ago but can be named, in addition, there are also the cloth clothes and hairpins that can only be seen in costume dramas, just like daily clothes, worn on the bodies of walking passers-by.
This town, like a bridge, is very slow, but it is gradually integrating SCP and mortal technology, although it still feels out of place in the eyes of the current people.
When they first met, Wu Wei and the others were still a little unaccustomed to this rather strange feeling, but after walking hundreds of meters, the original feeling of discomfort was quickly dispelled.
Sure enough, people's adaptability is still very strong.
"This guest officer, you came quite early, wait for two days, I'm afraid that fifty yuan coins won't even be able to live in the Chase Shop, once the selection of Shanmen disciples begins, this person will come overwhelmingly, I'm afraid that the price will increase several times." β
Everyone walked along the road, and met a lot of shopkeepers along the way, and these people who were dressed like the young guys in ancient costumes sharpened their heads and came to everyone's side.
"How much does it cost for you to stay here? Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes, the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.
A man who looked quite old secretly approached Zhang Cheng and his party, and whispered in a voice as if he was afraid of being heard by others, "Fifty yuan coins a day in the standard room, the lowest price in the town, Tong Su is not bullied, five-star service, who lives who knows." β
Zhang Cheng looked at the inn behind the guy, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the leaky wall, and said that one star could be regarded as lifting him.
"As far as your decoration is concerned, you are not afraid of this guest complaining. Zhou Yi grinned.
Along the way, the group didn't know how many shopkeepers coveted them, and they didn't know if everyone's clothes were too unusual or if the word to be slaughtered was written on everyone's faces.
"Don't be afraid, our boss said, this iron grinding plate flowing customers, this guest is not a repeat customer, can slaughter one is one, I will give you a quotation of fifty yuan coins, which is already the reserve price of this piece, alas, don't leave the guest, don't regret if you leave." β
Everyone sped up a few steps, and finally left the little two behind. After some pulling, everyone was disheveled and smiled at each other, which couldn't help but remind Wu Wei and Zhang Cheng of their previous experience of living in a black shop at the train station.
Their current location is Qingyuan Ancient Street, which is the most open road in Qingyuan Town, which can accommodate four carriages side by side, and is also the most prosperous road in Qingyuan Town. Li Yi and Zhou Yi were very interested in their costumes, and they discussed while looking at them, and from time to time they ushered in all kinds of contemptuous glances.
However, they also knew that the first target today was Qian Zhuang, and they finally pressed the impulse in their hearts and followed in the footsteps of everyone.
"Is this here?" Zhang Cheng opened the map in his hand, the map was a tourist version of the map sold by the proprietress of the proprietor, a copy of five yuan coins, but of course it was bookkeeping, "Qingyuan Qianzhuang" such a large gold lacquer word, naturally there was no other semicolon, only this one. In terms of conspicuousness, Qingyuan Qianzhuang in Qingyuan Town said second, and no one said first. Below the signboard is the golden-colored gate, and two stone-carved Pixiu arched left and right, staring at everyone condescendingly.
As if noticing that everyone was standing in front, the door of the money bank opened automatically.
"Automatic door?" Li Yi scratched his head, and as Wu Wei and Zhang Cheng stepped in, the little guy on the side smiled politely at them.
There are not many people in the bank, there are about four or five people scattered around, which is much better than the passenger flow of the current bank, which takes half a day. There are four windows inside, except for two that are written "dang" and "loan", the remaining two can be exchanged.
"Do you need any guests?" A middle-aged man with tortoiseshell glasses raised his glasses, as if inadvertently glancing at Wu Wei, for people in this industry, eyesight is very important, but obviously these people can't attract his attention.
"Redeem. Wu Wei remained silent and handed over the blood source crystal hidden in his pocket.
As soon as the blood source crystal was in his hands, the middle-aged man's eyelids suddenly jumped, although most of the time they handled blood crystals in their Qian Village, there were not a few blood source crystals that had been accumulated, so he naturally would not be surprised, but what surprised him was the purity of this blood source crystal.
The difference between the blood crystal and the blood crystal lies in the degree of the printed power, with 90% of the content as the boundary, below 90 is called blood crystal, more than 90 is called blood crystal, its preciousness mainly lies in whether it can supply the cultivator to practice or not, and the blood source crystal is subdivided, according to 95 percent, 98 percent divided into three grades, the main difference is the absorption rate of the printing force, below 95 percent is called ordinary quality, 95 to 98 percent is high-quality, and more than 98 can be called the bestγ Among them, the best is naturally very rare.
With years of experience, the purity of this blood source crystal is naturally more than ninety-five percent, and the value of ninety-five and ninety-eight is even worse by more than half, which is naturally not what he, the teller, has done.
"Guests wait. The middle-aged man made a gesture, handed back the blood source crystal to Wu Wei, and slightly quickened his pace, and entered the inner hall.
After a while, the inner curtain of the inner hall was lifted, and a middle-aged man of a similar age walked out with the middle-aged man, the man was slightly rich, and he was holding a pair of walnuts in his left hand, and his eyes stayed in the air for a while, and then fell on the blood source crystal in Wu Wei's hand through the baffle.
This slightly chubby man with sharp eyes is Qian Chaofeng of Qingyuan Qianzhuang, surnamed Qian, and noble. The word Qian Gui, vulgar means elegant, but it is also very suitable for Qian Chaofeng's character.
