Chapter 102: Mu Tang: I rely on my talent to eat, not on my face
"The town is on the island, the island is in the water", this is one of the unique scenery of the "fishing port town". The town's buildings are not clustered together, but scattered on one island after another. There is a water viaduct between the islands, and vehicles are unimpeded. If you're not in a hurry, you can also take a boat ride on the lake, which is also a special experience.
West Lake is the westernmost lake of the "Fishing Port Town", and next to the West Lake is the 13th district, which is the thirteenth island of the town. "West Lake Inn" is located in the southwest corner of District 13, facing the West Lake, backed by the cliff, located in the middle of the mountain, quite remote.
The four-storey building made of gray stone bricks, the front yard is full of all kinds of dried aquatic products, and the cold wind blows from the West Lake, faintly bringing the sound of water waves hitting the shore, which is very "local characteristics".
It's the peak tourist season in the "fishing port town". The hotels and hostels on the shore, or near the shore, are full, and only the remote shops in the remote island area, such as the "West Lake Inn", still have rooms. Guests are less likely to stay in these rooms.
Not safe after all! Although the government has cleared out the dangerous aquatic monsters around the island area, and there are 24-hour marine police patrols, the probability of being attacked by monsters in the outer island area is obviously much higher than that in the inner island area.
"Wow, what a beautiful view!"
Tong Xiangyu got out of the car, just to see the scene of the sun sinking into the West Lake, the sunset is infinitely good, and the West Lake is dyed with glow, which is indeed very pleasing to the eye.
She took out her phone and lamented while taking pictures: "Alas, I knew I would have prepared a camera." The pixels of the phone are too scummy. I can't take pictures of such a beautiful scenery, it's really sad! ”
Click, click!!
The continuous shutter sounded, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but turn her head to look, and suddenly screamed "ah", pointed to the cliff edge in the distance and shouted: "Qin ...... Qin Qin Water Lotus!? ”
Mu Tang heard her scream, and thought that something was wrong with her, and heard her shout "Qin Shuilian", so he looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a woman standing on the edge of the cliff taking pictures, or standing or squatting, or bending over and cocking her buttocks, or even lying down directly, changing various postures and shooting.
Tong Xiangyu's scream also attracted her attention, she turned her head to look over here, and was immediately surprised, and ran directly over here, "It's you?" Why are you here? Ah, could it be that the hotel you booked is also this 'West Lake Inn'? ”
"yes, yes." Tong Xiangyu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, very surprised.
Qin Shuilian said: "What a wonderful coincidence. This must be the arrangement of the Almighty 'Madonna', hey! ”
Tong Xiangyu said: "Hehe, the 'Holy Mother' must have heard my prayers, so she sent your camera to me." Hurry up, lend me the camera, and the sun will go down soon. ”
Mu Tang was speechless, "I said you......"
Qin Shuilian generously lent the camera to Tong Xiangyu, Tong Xiangyu grabbed it and clicked at the sunset, and shouted for Mu Tang to stand over and take a picture of him, but Mu Tang couldn't resist her, so he obeyed the command and became a model for her for free.
Tong Xiangyu was not satisfied with Mu Tang after filming, so she stuffed the camera back into Qin Shuilian and asked her to take a group photo of herself and Mu Tang. Due to the height problem, Tong Xiangyu stood on tiptoe vigorously, and shouted in her mouth, "Charcoal, why are you getting taller and taller recently, I haven't found it yet."
Of course, Mu Tang has grown taller. Under the effect of "Sacred Realm Stem Cells", the vitality is rising, what is it to grow taller? In just two months, he has grown to 1.8 meters away.
Tong Xiangyu hadn't paid attention to it before, but now when she took a group photo, she found out, wow, the charcoal has grown so tall, so she is stepping on her tiptoes and jumping again. Mu Tang couldn't stand it, so he came behind Tong Xiangyu and pillowed his hands on her shoulders, "Bouncing, are you a rabbit?" ”
"You're the rabbit, who told you to grow so tall all of a sudden......"
Qin Shuilian, who was the photographer over there, immediately said, "OK! In this position, keep not moving. ”
Click!
Click!
Click!
Qin Shuilian took three photos of her face and said with a smile: "Perfect! It must be perfect when the photos are washed out. ”
Tong Xiangyu said: "Qin Shuilian, let me take a few pictures for you." ”
Qin Shuilian shook her head and said: "Don't, no, I'm not on camera, the shooting is ugly, so I usually only do a photographer to discover and record beauty, hey!" ”
"Oh well. Murong Yan, do you want to take a few photos too? ”
Tong Xiangyu and Mu Tang jumped out of the car and didn't care about anything, but Murong Yan moved the salute out of the car, and then paid for the car, she felt that she had become a miscellaneous worker, and she was not happy in her heart, so she was still in the mood to take pictures, so she politely refused.
Tong Xiangyu didn't care, turned her head and faced Mu Tang again.
Mu Tang said speechlessly: "Hey, don't let other people's films, people are going to use them to shoot food." ”
Qin Shuilian smiled and said, "It's okay, I brought enough film." And your temperament is very photogenic, I think I can send your photos to men's magazines, it will be very popular, hee. ”
Tong Xiangyu asked: "Is that a lot of remuneration available?" ”
"Almost, the more popular you are, the more you will be paid."
Mu Tang was speechless, "No need." I eat by talent, not by face. ”
Hearing this, Qin Shuilian giggled, her voice was very good, and Tong Xiangyu said disgustedly, "Sorry, it's really shameless."
After this short period of joyful interlude, the sun on the west side of the West Lake also completely sank into the lake, leaving only a ray of glow. The wind from the lake is getting stronger and colder. Under the leadership of Qin Shuilian, the three of Mu Tang walked into the "West Lake Inn" and checked in at the front desk. Considering the uncertainty of the mission time, Mu Tang directly booked a twenty-day stay.
The owners of the "West Lake Inn" are a couple and there is no one else but them. The proprietress is warm and thoughtful, so that Mu Tang and others feel at home, and feel that although this place is partial, it is not bad.
Dare to open an inn in such a remote and even high-risk place, the two bosses are obviously not ordinary people, and they don't hide it privately, they directly told Mu Tang and the others, saying that they are retired hunters who are tired of "hunter work", and they came here to open an inn, one to enjoy the ordinary days of retirement, and the other to prepare for the birth of the next generation.
"Would you like to make dinner for you?" My wife's craftsmanship is not bad. The chef may not be able to compare, but it is absolutely delicious, which is what I have experienced in the past year. I think I was also a handsome guy loved by everyone back then. Look at me now, I'm almost fat into a pig, hahaha. ”
Seeing the boss patting his big belly, he compared himself to a pig, Tong Xiangyu was embarrassed to refuse, but he still said without blushing and heartbeat, "Don't be too expensive, we are all children of poor families." ”
The boss said that the two were relieved, saying that they were all home-cooked food, and that they would not cost a few dollars, and the aquatic products here were very cheap, and they could not spend a few dollars to die, so they went to the proprietress and asked her to prepare dinner.
Mu Tang and the others each entered their own rooms. I did the train for five days, and I was uncomfortable all over. Especially girls, the most important thing to do now is to take a comfortable hot shower and change into clean clothes.
In addition, the "West Lake Inn" has sufficient guest rooms, and the benefits of "men and women sharing a room" can not be enjoyed.
Mu Tang pushed the window open, and the night breeze blew in his face, which made him feel excited. took a shower, changed out of the "Jinghua school uniform", and put on a casual suit. Around the same time, the boss came knocking on the door, but dinner was ready.
The three of Mu Tang, including Qin Shuilian, came to the restaurant together. It is worthy of the food of the people by the water, a table is full of aquatic products, what fish head soup, sweet and sour fish, braised soft-shelled turtle, water snake soup, steamed crab, etc.
Not to mention, as soon as you move the chopsticks, everyone is full of praise. If you don't have a professional taste to evaluate, Mu Tang also thinks it's not bad. Everyone was hungry and ate fresh, so the table of dishes was quickly wiped out.
The amount of food that the Soul Qi Warrior eats is terrifying. At most, this dinner is a taste of the first and appetizer. After eating, when she returned to the room, Tong Xiangyu immediately came to Mu Tang to ask for "black moon cakes" to eat. Although she didn't like the taste of the cake, she might just have to eat it to her heart's content.
Mu Tang gave her two more pieces and asked her to send them to Murong Yan, and then said, "I'll go out for a while, you will stay in the inn, if you are bored, go to Qin Shuilian to play chess, or ask the boss if he has a game console." ”
Tong Xiangyu asked, "What are you going to do?" If you have fun, don't you take your brother there, right? ”
Mu Tang poked her head, "You know how to play." I'm here to get down to business. We've just arrived here, and our eyes are black, and if we don't find out, where are you going to catch fish? Or do you want to come with me, okay......"
Tong Xiangyu jumped back, "Brother won't go to this kind of boring thing." When you fight, you look for your brother again, this brother is good at it. Hey. After saying that, he slipped away like a thief.
Mu Tang didn't bother to take care of her. simply packed up and went out empty-handed. Murong Yan was already waiting outside the door. It turned out that she heard Tong Xiangyu say that Mu Tang was going to inquire about intelligence, so she wanted to go with Mu Tang, so she deliberately waited outside.
Mu Tang declined her accompaniment, let her rest well, recuperate, and found the innkeeper and rented a car from him. The boss is very cheerful, and he doesn't want his rent, just let him fill the "Soul Crystal Energy Bottle" when he comes back.
Mu Tang thanked him, and then asked, "Boss Li, have you ever heard of the 'Overlord Crystal Puffer Fish'?" ”
The boss's surname is Li, his name is Li Guoli, although he claims to be a handsome guy before, but he is indeed a fat uncle now, when he heard Mu Tang mention the "Overlord Crystal Puffer Fish Beast", his face full of stubble showed surprise, "Are you also here for it" Fishing Port Town "?" ”
Although he is no longer in the hunter circle, his friends in the circle are still in contact, because it is related to "Fishing Port Town", he naturally listened to it and knew the existence of the hunting list that captured the "Overlord Crystal Puffer Fish".
Mu Tang doesn't hide it, and there is nothing to hide, "Well, yes." ”
Boss Li glanced at Mu Tang, "You young people, you are really bold enough, and you dare to take any order." Not to mention the 'Overlord Crystal Puffermon', it's not easy to catch ordinary puffermon. Moreover, it is said that there is a 'Overlord Crystal Puffer Fish' here, but it has always been a legend, and no one has ever really seen it, let alone heard of who successfully captured it. It is not known who originally spread this rumor. ”
Mu Tang smiled: "Try it, if you can catch it, you can catch it, if you can't catch it, forget it." This 'Overlord Crystal Pufferfish' is to be used in the 'Mother's Grace Feast', and if it can be successful, it will be considered a great merit. Thank you Boss Li for telling me, I'll go first. Come back before about 12 o'clock in the evening. ”
Boss Li said, "Okay." Be careful on your way. If there is a flare in the car, it will be fired immediately if there is danger. ”
"Okay!"
Bidding farewell to Boss Li, Mu Tang started the car and went along the road.
Boss Li looked at the butt of the car and sighed: "It's good to be young." ”
……
……
More than two hours later.
Island 3, Red Carp Street.
Mu Tang parked the car on the side of the road, jumped out of the car, put on a jacket, took out a hat and put it on his head like magic, and then walked along the street with his pocket in his pocket.
This is the central area of the "fishing port town", and it is the peak tourist season, so even if it is more than 9 o'clock in the evening and nearly 10 o'clock, it is very lively here, tourists are rubbing shoulders, merchants are hot to pick up customers, and it is a scene of a city that never sleeps.
Mu Tang blended into the crowd, like a drop of water into the sea, and disappeared after a while......
