stayed in Jiuxiao Mountain for two days, in addition to accompanying Qixing to the divination platform, because the altar master of the summoning altar had something to do and had not returned, he led Quan Xiaobai around the periphery of Jiuxiao Mountain.

Although there are only a few peaks in Jiuxiao Mountain, the place is still very large. In particular, there are some hidden corners in some places, and the scenery behind them is stunning.

In the morning of the next day, after the bell took the package that Qu Youyou packed, Qixing returned to the golden bell, and Quan Xiaobai also followed, and agreed with Qiu Tianhe to meet in the central square.

After gathering, they went down the mountain together and came to the largest restaurant in Jiuxiao City, Zhengqian Restaurant.

As soon as Song Yonghe, the shopkeeper, saw them coming, he hurriedly pulled the bell and a few people to the back room.

"Shopkeeper Song, let's talk about it, what do you want to do." The bell blinked, stared at Song Yonghe and asked.

"Actually...... Song Yonghe motioned for the bell to sit down, and then explained the cause and effect.

Two days ago, a person came, and this person was very generous, but he specified that he wanted to cook a dish in the dry restaurant. This dish is very ordinary, but the ingredients are the best ingredients that must be produced in the designated place.

Song Yonghe's Zhengqian Restaurant was already short of manpower, and he couldn't spare anyone to look for ingredients at this time, but this person was Liu Bancheng, a big family in a county not far from Jiuxiao City.

This Liu Bancheng is not called Liu Bancheng, but others describe this rich family as worth half of the city. This family's old man Liu, the house is said to be inlaid with gold and silver, I heard that Zhengqian Restaurant is the best restaurant in Jiuxiao City, the first city in the world, so I came here.

It's just that this old man Liu doesn't know if the taste is more special or what, when he arrives at the restaurant, he doesn't order these famous dishes, but he specifies a very ordinary dish.

This is a soup dish called pickled Du Xian, this soup dish tastes salty and fresh, the soup is white and juicy, the meat is crispy and fat, the clams are fat, the bamboo shoots are crispy and tender, and the tofu is refreshing and smooth. The main ingredients are bamboo shoots, salted ham, clams, and tofu, and it is a soup with a strong umami flavor that is boiled together.

This is a home-cooked dish in itself, which is very simple, but this Liu Bancheng named a few ingredients, all of which are the best and freshest ingredients from the origin, and gave enough money to make twenty tables of first-class banquets to order such a dish, be sure to ask Song Yonghe to make it authentic.

With such a large price, Song Yonghe naturally would not shirk, originally wanted to let someone in the store take the time to find the ingredients to come back, just in time for the bell to come back and owe the fee, Song Yonghe felt that let the bell run errands, although this job is not difficult, but it takes some effort, so Song Yonghe promised to make up for the money owed by the bell before and then invite her to eat three meals for free.

After listening to what Song Yonghe wanted to do by herself, the bell agreed, it turned out that she was just running errands, and this job must be no problem for herself, and she and Qiu Tianhe could go to find it separately.

Because the designated production area of salted ham is in the southwest direction, and the production area of bamboo shoots and clams is in the southeast direction, Lingdang and Qiu Tianhe decided to take the money and find it separately.

After taking the money for buying materials and the carriage and horse fees from Song Yonghe, Qiu Tianhe instructed Quan Xiaobai to take good care of the bell, and then said goodbye to the bell and Qixing before heading southwest.

And the bell also took Quan Xiaobai to the southeast.

This way is not slow, because the carriage and horses are abundant, the bell called a car, sat in the car in a daze for a long time and arrived at Qiuzhu Town.

The name of this hill bamboo town comes from the bamboo forest full of hills. The bamboo forests here are not only dense, but the bamboo shoots here are famous for their crispness, and the bamboo here is also what the people here depend on for their survival.

Bamboo can be cut down to build houses, frames, mats, this bamboo shoot can be eaten, and the fragrance of bamboo can also be used to make food such as bamboo rice, so every household in this Qiu Zhu Town can make this bamboo into various patterns.

It's just that after Bell and Quan Xiaobai came to Qiuzhu Town this time, they found that there was no more excitement here, and every household was covered with doors.

Because it is very close to Jiuxiao City, although the bell has not been far before, but here used to be here when Qu Youyou came out to buy bamboo weaving, and it used to be full of people here, and every household was selling while making it, and the bamboo strips that had been processed would become all kinds of practical supplies under their dexterous hands.

At that time, the bell was afraid of heat in summer, and specially bought a bamboo mat, which was cool on the bed in summer, but now when I look here, not only are there not so many merchants selling here, but even almost all of them have closed doors, as if they are empty.

"Brother Qixing, what's going on here? I've been here with Sister Yoyo before, and it's so lively here, why is it like this now? ”

"It's really weird." The Seven Stars replied in the golden bell of the bell.

"I'll ask." Bell walked a few steps to the door of a house, reached out and knocked on the door, and shouted as he knocked on the door, "Is anyone there?" Excuse me, anyone? Could someone please reply? ”

The person inside heard the voice of a little girl, and hurriedly replied, "Don't knock, let's go." ”

The bell wondered what was wrong with these people, so he continued to knock on the door, and shouted louder than just now: "Please open the door?" Why are you all closed here? I want to buy something. ”

Seeing that the bell was not leaving, the door was opened after a burst of sound from Suosuo.

The bell saw that it was an old man who opened the door, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Hello old man." ”

The old man's hair and beard were white, but his body looked quite tough, but he sighed listlessly: "Child, are you going to buy something?" No, there's nothing now! Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he urged the bell: "Child, you can't stay here, go back, get out of here quickly, it's dangerous here." ”

"Grandpa, what's going on here? I've been here before, and it used to be lively, but now how did it become like this? Don't you all want to do business? Instead of leaving, the bell asked.

When he saw the bell, it stopped at the door, and the old man had no choice but to say, "Child, you come in first, you can't stay outside, you will be seen." ”

"Seen? Seen by whom? ”

"Don't ask so much, come in first." The old man seemed to be in a hurry.

The bell heard Qixing whisper: "Bell, go in first, something is wrong, let's ask what is going on first." ”

Hearing what Seven Stars said to herself, Bell nodded and followed the old man into the house.

After arriving in the house, the old man quickly plugged in the latch, and then whispered: "Child, it's not that we don't want to do business anymore, but there are monsters here." ”
