Chapter Twenty-Nine: Chu Ting
Ji Ying naturally rejected Huang Ying's request, but told her that if Lu Shu lost her hair halfway, everything that fell would belong to her.
"But would you like to go back?" Ji Ying looked at Huang Ying who was thinking about it, "It's only about two thousand miles from here, half a day is enough for you." Then we can meet directly in Rongtian tomorrow night, or I will pick you up in Chuting again. ”
Huang Ying finally shook her head.
Ji Ying and Huang Ying didn't need horses, plus the land area they had to walk in was mainly mountains and jungles, and the horses couldn't run too fast, so the two horses were separated from Ji Xiaoran and Zhou Xian, and they would take a little guy to at least move forward.
Although they are just ordinary horses in the realm of mountains and seas. But due to the influence of the aura in the realm, although he can't travel thousands of miles a day, there is no problem with traveling 800 a day.
After all, riding a horse is much easier than walking on two legs. Under the oppression of Ji Cheng, everyone worked hard all the way but was safe, and finally arrived at Chuting City before the sun went down.
Before he arrived at the city of Chuting, Ji Cheng saw a person standing on the side of the road who was haloed by the orange light of the setting sun. Ji Cheng suddenly smiled, and walked directly in front of the man with a quick step, "Are you here to greet me?" ”
The man looked to be about the same age as Ji Cheng, wearing a gray robe, and a black belt embroidered with the dark pattern of the dragon was tied around his waist. ”
The arm was raised, and the edge of the robe was pulled up a bit, and a pair of scaly claws flashed before everyone's eyes.
"It's rare that I haven't seen you show your prototype in the mountain and sea realm."
"There's a group of people with you, don't scare them." Ji Ying introduced the men one by one to the people who were standing behind him and were full of curiosity, "Huang Ying, bean sprouts and edamame, my daughter Ji Xiaoran." When it came to Zhou Xian, Ji Cheng paused, "My apprentice, Zhou Xian." ”
Then, Ji Ying pointed to the man again, "This one, Chu Ting." ”
The man waved at them with a faint smile on his face.
"Isn't that the land god here?" Huang Ying tilted her head and looked at it.
Chu Ting is not only the name of this city, but also the name of the land on which it sits.
Hearing Huang Ying's surprise, Chu Tingwei smiled slightly, raised his hand and gestured a small ball, "The last time I saw you was when you hatched out of the egg three hundred years ago. At that time, he was such a little guy who didn't have any hair at all, and now he has become a beautiful big girl. ”
Suddenly mentioned when she was young, Huang Yingqiao blushed and turned her head away.
Chu Ting's originally smiling eyes, but when he saw Ji Xiaoran's neck, he restrained his smile, and he looked back at Ji Ying, "What's wrong with the little girl's neck?" ”
"It's a long story." Ji Cheng smiled bitterly, "Lead us in first, we didn't have a good meal at noon, but we have to eat a good meal in the evening." ”
The city wall of Chuting City looks like it is twenty meters high, but for the people in the city, the city wall has lost its military defense function, so there are no people guarding the city gate to check the people entering the city as expected.
Before entering the city, Ji Cheng covered the patterns on Lu Shu's body with a wide blanket, making it look like an ordinary white horse.
As soon as you enter the city gate, you will see a prosperous scene. Chuting City not only has a white market, but also a night market. When night falls, it's time for the night market to begin. On the side of the street, there are vendors holding goods and shouting, women accompanying them, and there are people on the street corners who are juggling, so it is not lively.
Huang Ying is accustomed to this kind of scene, but Ji Xiaoran and the two little ones looked around in surprise, and even Zhou Xian, who seemed to be calm, had a bright light in his eyes.
In addition to those who looked similar to them, there were also people whose earlobes were almost shoulder-length, but the long earlobes resembled tassels on the earrings.
"That's the one who left the ear." Huang Ying whispered that the other party saw someone looking at her, so she nodded and smiled at them, which was very good.
"Boss Chu hasn't seen you for a long time."
From time to time, a stall owner recognized Chu Ting and greeted him with a smile, and Ji Xiaoran also took advantage of the heat, and tried all kinds of gadgets on many stalls selling small snacks without money.
"Xiao Ran, do you want to have dinner later?" Ji Cheng looked at him helplessly, not only stuffing red fruits with frosting in his mouth, but also handing them to Zhou Xian's daughter, "Uncle Chu runs a restaurant." ”
"Don't let her call me uncle, don't dare to be." Chu Ting smiled and waved his hand, then pointed ahead, "It's almost there, I'll invite you to a big meal in a while." ”
Ji Xiaoran looked in the direction he signaled, nodded immediately, and then put away the fruit that had not been eaten.
It was the first thing everyone saw when they entered the city, a full six floors, and at the moment the red-orange light was reflected like half of a handicraft made of rubies.
Everyone is still half a mile away from the restaurant, but they can clearly see the scene of the city.
"Chu Lou" two big characters dragon flying phoenix dance inscribed on the plaque.
The six-story restaurant has its own functions at every level. The first floor is like a normal restaurant lobby, but there are square tables, and the seats are usually a couple or a few families. The second floor is more like a mezzanine, with a ceiling shared with the first floor, with round tables for more people to sit and eat. The third and fourth floors are booths and private rooms respectively. On the fifth floor, the Ben Si Sutra is a space reserved for the gods to eat, distinguishing it from ordinary creatures in the realm of mountains and seas. The sixth floor was Chu Ting's place for private entertainment, as well as his room.
When he went upstairs, Ji Xiaoran found that there was still a hidden Qiankun behind the restaurant. The three-story low room forms a hollow shape with the restaurant in front of it, which is a room for guests to stay.
The group of people went directly to the sixth floor. Due to the retraction of the layers, the final range of dining is not large, and the eight-seater mahogany round table is actually placed directly on a large terrace, so that diners can enjoy the scenery of Chuting City while tasting the food.
Seven people were seated, and there was just a vacant seat for the waiter to serve.
Ji Ying and Chu Ting were still sitting next to each other, and Huang Ying's eyes lit up when she saw a small jar of wine that she had moved in first, so she sat down next to Chu Ting. Ji Xiaoran and Zhou Xian sat on Ji Ying's side, and Bean Sprouts and Edamame sat on Huangying's side.
The two little ones each took a seat, but because they were too small, they had to take off their shoes and stand on the chairs. Fortunately, Chu Ting only smiled when he saw it.
The dishes were ordered by Chu Ting before he went upstairs, and after a moment of sitting down, dishes came up one after another.
Steamed lobster with garlic, crispy duck, raw porridge, abalone and chicken feet, crystal bun...... A dish is more delicate than the other, and the fragrance lingers on the table, but Ji Xiaoran is a little disappointed: This is no different from Cantonese cuisine.
Probably seeing through her thoughts, Chu Ting smiled, "The dishes may not be much different, but the ingredients are still different." ”
