Chapter Twenty-Five—A Shocking Change

Due to the remote terrain of Yicheng, coupled with the fact that the Holy Emperor has repeatedly mobilized materials from Yicheng and Shengcheng, as well as Dream City in the north and south, to Zhongcheng in the past three years. In addition, the terrain of a city is rugged, and it is difficult to transport the necessities of life such as money, grain, salt and iron to Yicheng, and it is precisely because of these reasons that although Yicheng also has twenty-three county seats, it occupies the vast mountains in the northwest of the feudal country. But in fact, the number of people living in Yicheng and the county towns under its jurisdiction is actually very small, and the number is less than one-third of the population of Zhongcheng and the 37 county towns under its jurisdiction. For the entire structure of the feudal state, in fact, Yicheng is indeed a relatively remote area. If it were a normal time, it would be really rare for people and merchants to come to Yicheng.

Of course, except for the current season in Yicheng, there are very few people and businessmen who come to Yicheng at other times. At this time, because Yicheng iced tea is very famous in the Closed Kingdom and even on the Demon Spirit Continent. Many people and traveling merchants will come to Yicheng at this time, and even travel thousands of miles to Yicheng, just to buy such a cup of iced tea that has been precipitated for thousands of years. In addition, the usual temperature in Yicheng is much cooler than in other places, for ordinary people and even officials who are worth enjoying life, serving a cup of cold tea every summer day, sitting in the mountains of Yicheng to enjoy the cool, every summer day here is tantamount to the most comfortable.

Today, Yicheng is close to noon at this moment, Yicheng is a state after all, although its prosperity is not as good as many feudal towns, and even the prosperity of several county towns on the edge of Zhongcheng, the capital of the feudal country, cannot be compared. But at least now, because of the very distinctive specialties in Yicheng, there are quite a lot of people and merchants coming and going on the streets. However, no matter what the reason is for coming to the street, these people walking on the streets of Yicheng invariably hold such a cup of Yicheng's specialty herbal tea in their hands, with expressions of enjoyment on their faces.

There are no too luxurious buildings in Yicheng City, whether it is a restaurant or an inn, and even the mansion of the Yicheng Guard's Mansion only looks to be slightly larger. There is only one building in Yicheng City that is more than three floors, and that is the most luxurious restaurant in Yicheng, the "Food for Immortals" restaurant. And this restaurant is also the leading restaurant in Yicheng to produce iced tea, relying on the tea business that is in full swing in the current season, it is really a good profit, and now it has only entered the summer not long ago, and the people and merchants and even officials who came to visit are about to break the threshold of their restaurant. The restaurant has also reaped very rich returns, and their profit during this period of time is basically equal to the profit of their restaurant for three months.

Some ordinary people or officials and businessmen who know how to taste wine are more interested in new things than old things. As a result, this "food for immortals" is keenly aware of this potentially huge business opportunity. As a result, every summer they make a big deal about the new tea that is hot this season. For example, last year's chilled wine with peach and bayberry is not only ingenious, but even bold. However, the response has been very good. After just one summer last year, this "food for immortals" almost captured the largest profit of the entire Yicheng in the quarter. It is precisely for this reason that the "Food for Immortals" restaurant not only did not go out of business because of profit and loss, but thrived step by step. Even, in the past two years, Shi Weixian has opened a second and third restaurants in Anseong and Dream City. The prospects for development are bright.

At this moment, the second floor of Yicheng's "Food for Immortals" restaurant is now overcrowded early. Compared to the "Chilled Tea and Fruit Wine" that is the signature of "Food for Immortals", other well-cooked dishes have become secondary. The people of Yicheng have developed a habit of eating over the years, which is different from any place on the Demon Spirit Continent. Only the people of Yicheng and the surrounding counties will drink a cup of tea or sake before eating each day, which is the best iced drink in the hot summer months, and in the winter, it is a warm treasure to soothe the body and mind. This is also the most distinctive point of Yicheng.

In Yicheng, there are not many people who come and go, but once the occasional foreigner who comes here stops here, it is difficult to forget this place after drinking the unique tea here twice. Especially for those businessmen who travel from south to north and rarely settle down for a few days a year, this evocative taste is really very attractive to attention. Even the previous feudal monarch Guangwujun was very fond of this kind of tea and wine, and even thought about classifying this rare drink as a royal drink. It's just that later, because the people's enthusiasm for this was too high, Guangwujun did it.

In recent times, the large and small restaurants in Yicheng are overcrowded every day, and it is even necessary to wait for more than an hour to wait for a seat. Among them, food is also the most. Although there are three floors of "Food for Immortals", the third layer is reserved by some businessmen or wealthy families and used as their predetermined location. Ordinary people or people who are not willing to pay a high deposit can only choose to either come early or have the patience to wait for the spot. It's noon now, and it's not surprising that it's overcrowded, and of course, there is also a long queue at the door of the "Food for Immortals" restaurant, with no less than 50 people or businessmen. They gaze at the sunlight clinging overhead in the distance, and the vast sky behind it. Happily waiting outside.

At this moment, from the outside of Yicheng side by side walked in six unfamiliar figures, because the location of "food for immortals" is close to the direction of the east gate of Yicheng City, so the idle people standing at the door waiting suddenly saw the six unfamiliar figures that walked in from outside Yicheng City. Moreover, the people who observed carefully also found that these people who came into Yicheng seemed to be very young, and none of them looked like they were more than twenty years old. They are all young and young like teenagers.

At this moment, it was naturally no one else who walked into Yicheng, but Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Gao Hanyue, Shi Lanbo, Nangong Yun and Yu Fei. In fact, according to their light skills and walking speed, they should have come to Yicheng a month ago. It's just that the six of them not only hovered in that mountain range for a long time, but even after walking out of the mountain range, they stopped and stopped all the way to enjoy the rare spring time. So, they walked for nearly a month to arrive in Yicheng, and the weather was gradually approaching summer.

Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Gao Hanyue, Shi Lanbo, Nangong Yun and Yu Fei also learned about the story of Yicheng's very distinctive iced tea on the road, but they all had a look of apprehension and even excitement. Nangong Yun and Yu Fei also wanted to meet the rumored father and mother of Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, and the master and mother of Gao Hanyue and Shi Lanbo.

Among them, the most excited are naturally Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan. They and Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing hadn't met for so many years. Since they entered the Qi Kingdom Royal Academy and left the bamboo forest where they grew up, they have never seen their parents again.

According to Shi Lanbo, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing should also be in Yicheng now, so as soon as they walked into the city gate of Yicheng, their mood became nervous and excited, and they didn't notice the eyes of the people standing at the gate of "Food for Immortals".

When Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Gao Hanyue, Shi Lanbo, Nangong Yun and Yu Fei walked past the "Food as Immortals", they found that the people standing at the door were looking at the six of them with strange eyes. Shi Rambo quietly explained: "The people of Yicheng are hospitable, especially for outsiders like us. That restaurant just now is the most outstanding place for Yicheng iced tea."

"I see" Gao Hanyue nodded deeply, and continued with a smile: "Then in that case, when we find the master and the master, let's take them to line up together."

Gao Hanyue's words had not yet finished, but a figure that was extremely familiar to them appeared on the third floor of the "Food for Immortals" restaurant that they passed by from their brother behind them. This figure stared at the backs of Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Gao Hanyue, Shi Lanbo, Nangong Yun and Yu Fei, and suddenly shouted: "Chong'er, Shan'er, Yue'er is you?"

This clear voice made Feng Yuchong, Gao Yueyue and Feng Shanshan shocked, and they couldn't help but turn around slowly, and when they saw Shi Lanbo next to them, they smiled slightly. A very comfortable smile slowly appeared on his face.

The source of the voice was none other than Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan's mother, Xia Qing, who was thinking about it day and night. Xia Qing came down from the second floor of the "Food for Immortals" restaurant like a gust of wind, squeezed through the figures of the many people waiting outside the door, and hugged his children tightly in his arms, tears of joy flowed from his eyes.

Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan also shed tears of joy, cheering "Mother" and threw themselves into Xia Qing's warm embrace, this feeling of being able to be relied on has not been experienced for too long, too long.

When their minds calmed down a bit, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan looked carefully at the mother in front of them who they hadn't seen for many years, and found that their mother was thin and her face was red and beautiful. Xia Qing was wearing a plain robe, and at this time, the most comfortable smile appeared on her face that was already wet with tears.

"Yue'er, these two are Lan Bo" Xia Qing's mood gradually calmed down, and her eyes also noticed Gao Hanyue and Shi Lanbo standing not far away, as well as Yu Fei and Nangong Yun standing next to the two of them, Xia Qing was a little curious, although she had already guessed that this was probably her own children and apprentices' classmates, but out of politeness, Xia Qing still asked.

Gao Hanyue's mind is a little complicated now, especially after talking to Yu Fei, she is a little confused about her future. However, Gao Hanyue still has great respect for Xia Qing, she said with a smile: "Master, these two are our classmates and good friends Yu Fei and Nangong Yun."

Yu Fei and Nangong Yun stepped forward quickly, gave Xia Qing a deep salute, and said respectfully: "Yu Fei (Nangong Yun), I've seen my aunt!"

Xia Qing smiled lightly, staring at the mature and stable children in front of her, the corners of her mouth flushed with the most comfortable red, she slowly let go of a pair of children in her arms, and said with a light smile: "Come on, let's go upstairs first, your father is still waiting for you there, don't tell you that the dishes and drinks here are indeed extraordinary."
