Chapter 56: Cai Ji Buns
The polder is not far from the sect. The people within a radius of 100 miles depend on the Qingshan Sect to live. Over time, the polder became a bustling town. In addition to the fifteenth day of the new year, these two days are lively. On the tenth day of the first day of each month, the outer disciples of the Qingshan Sect receive the moon to receive offerings, and the atmosphere of the polder is not pressed to rush to the market.
Spirit stones are precious, and a spirit stone can also be exchanged for five hundred taels of worldly silver and a thousand spirit beads. Eat wine and food without aura, ten taels of silver and two spiritual beads for a table. The Qi refining disciples who couldn't open the valley entered the town with a spirit stone in their arms, and they all held their heads high and their chests were like thousands of pieces around their waists.
There are also Qi refining disciples who take advantage of the popularity to set up stalls and exchange various materials needed for cultivation.
Burning Sky followed Yi Zhiyu into the town, and the screams in his face plugged his ears. Her eyes lit up, and she stuck in front of the stone archway at the entrance of the market.
A small flat wooden box was nailed with a layer of black flannel cloth, and it was filled with all kinds of shiny silver jewelry. When he heard that one spirit bead could buy five branches, Burning Sky smiled happily. Her hair was braided and braided into a double bun, bare. She wanted to insert two silver hairpins, and she took a fancy to two strings of flower-shaped ornaments. Immediately, I thought that I hadn't pierced my ears yet, and I went to look at all kinds of earrings.
Who in the cultivation can look down on such worthless and useless silver jewelry? There are also many female disciples of Qi refining in the outer door. Even if you like jewelry, you will make jewelry with a stick on your head. Yi Zhiyu wondered, this girl came out of a desolate and uninhabited ravine, right? Could it be that Lin Xiaotian was really just an ordinary Qi refining disciple with shallow knowledge?
Wrong.
She didn't look like an ordinary person when she threatened him. It wasn't even more like the time to seduce him. It is true that the cultivation is only at the third level of qi refining. But with that blow qi blade, it was obvious that the understanding and control of the true qi had reached the point of perfection.
The eyes of the burning sky who chose jewelry were shining, not like pretending. The unusual appearance made Yi Zhiyu even more puzzled. I feel more and more that Lin Xiaotian is like a mountain hidden behind the clouds and mist, and he can't see through it.
There is no hurry. Living next to each other, he will always see through her time.
Simply threw two spirit beads to the boss, and Yi Zhiyu quickly took a few more and stuffed them into Burning Sky's hand: "I've sent it to you." It's late today, it's getting dark. Do you want to have dinner? ”
"Yes. I'm sure I'm going to eat well for free. Let's go. Burning Sky hung two strings of Yingluo on the bun, and praised this polder city, "I didn't expect the polder to be so fun." ”
It's just a pile of worthless jewelry bought in front of a small stall.
Yi Zhiyu smiled: "Before you came to Qingshan Sect, you devoted yourself to cultivation and didn't go to the Fang Market to buy anything, right?" ”
Burning Sky smiled: "The Fang Market I went to last time is different from here. ”
The war is imminent, and most of the Fang markets in the Xuanmen camp are pills, magic weapons, talismans, and the like. Liu Caicai accompanied her to hurriedly buy a few clothes and some items needed for cooking, but she didn't calm down to play.
This is the second time Burning Sky has visited the market.
There are also many such bazaars in the Red City of the Sanctuary. She has seen countless thrilling fights. Know the location of every street in the Red City. I know that the owner of the first shop in the East Side Market has a bean-sized mole on the right side of his face. She had even seen how the reddest Lingzhi girl in Qianhe Tower seduced men. The sound and images reflected in the water mirror made her immersive, but it could not satisfy her curiosity to see it with her own eyes.
At the age of seven, she seized the opportunity to sneak out of the house for the first time to wander around, and was taken back not far from Locke's house. She looked at the two handmaidens who served her, and willingly committed suicide to apologize. All eight people who had seen her were taken back and executed in front of her. The gray-haired old man knelt in front of her, and he was in tears...... She was never willful again.
Life away from the Sanctuary is wonderful. She can now go shopping and eat at any time, make friends at will, and travel outside the sect to take on missions. The burning sky couldn't hide his joy, and he wouldn't say anything: "In the past, I didn't go out with my aunt to cultivate in the barren mountains. I haven't seen the world. Senior Brother Yi need not be surprised. ”
She knew he was surprised.
Shrewd, perceptive, but unworldly. What a strange little girl.
Yi Zhiyu had a flattering look on his face: "I heard Senior Brother Liu say that you and Yu Zhenren have a sect where Sang Daojun arrived together." Yu Zhenren personally asked him to take care of you. Senior Sister Xiaotian, don't forget to bring your senior brother if there are any benefits in the future. ”
It turned out that Yi Zhiyu was close to her because of this. Burning Sky sighed and said, "My aunt died in the Red Sea. Yu Zhenren saved my life. When he saw that I was helpless, he took me into the Qingshan Sect. My qualifications are not good, and I only have a third-level cultivation of qi refining. Yu Zhenren still wants to recommend me to Jiufeng. I'm self-aware. If you go to Jiufeng, you will inevitably be despised. So I became an outer disciple. ”
It is a great favor to save a little girl casually and recommend her to enter the sect. If there is no other reason, how could a real person who cultivated in the later stage of Jindan still go to the outer door to find her in person? Qin Yousang wouldn't secretly observe her in the middle of the night. Either Lin Xiaotian has another background, or ...... Yi Zhiyu inexplicably gushed out a wave of anger. Yu Jiansheng, you old man who has lived for more than 200 years, don't cultivate! Relying on the grace of saving his life, he actually wanted to touch a little girl! What a fucking shame! But he said pity: "It's a pity that I have the opportunity to enter the inner gate Jiufeng directly." But it's fine. When you cultivate to a high level in the future, you will enter the dragon gate in a martial arts competition. The waist board can be a little straighter. ”
"Senior Brother Yi is very right." Burning Sky straightened his back and was high-spirited, "I, Lin Xiaotian, will definitely use my own strength to jump into the Dragon Gate and enter Jiufeng!" ”
It's like the truth. In these years, there is a way not to talk about ambition and leap into the dragon gate? It's too cute to pretend to be stupid. But if it's really to hide from the sound of the sword, that bad old man, he supports it! Yi Zhiyu laughed: "Let's go, eat enough to cultivate!" There is a long queue waiting for the buns to come out of the pot is Cai Kee Bun Shop. I bought buns and went to the restaurant to eat. ”
Yi Zhiyu lined up. Burning Sky stood in front curiously and watched.
The face of the bun shop is not big. There is a crooked Cai Kee bun plaque hanging on it. There is a small door on one side for people to enter and exit. The shop door panel was removed and stood aside, and a long board took up most of it. Against the wall is the stove. There are five steamers in a large iron pot. White water vapor spreads everywhere.
There was only one old man in the shop, hunched over.
Lao Cai's hair is white, and he is at least in his early 100s. His face was covered with folds and tawny age spots, and his eyes were still refreshed. His hands were surprisingly slender and white, and his nails were cleanly trimmed.
Just in time for the buns to come out of the cage. When the cage lid was lifted, a stream of wheat noodles came to my face.
The people in line threw spiritual beads into the bamboo baskets hanging outside. One can buy two buns. Lao Caitou quickly picked up two buns, wrapped them in washed mulberry leaves, and handed them over. The action is swift and fast.
There is a steamer lid and water vapor blocking, and Burning Sky can't see what the steamed buns look like.
The five-cage buns were sold out in a blink of an eye. Yi Zhiyu happened to be at the front of the line: "Hey, I can only wait for another two quarters of an hour." Wrap buns in a quarter of an hour, and steam them in a quarter of an hour. That pot was specially made by the talisman master in the sect. ”
Lao Caitou began to make steamed buns. He casually pulled a lump of dough from the dough. I didn't roll it into a dough, flattened it on the board and put it in the palm of my hand, scooped a spoonful of filling, put it together on the side, and put it into the bamboo steamer next to it. Otherwise, press a hole in the dough with your thumb, fill it with the filling, and pinch it with your five fingers to wrap it.
In the blink of an eye, four or five buns have been made in the steamer. All of them come in different shapes and sizes. The only thing that is the same is that none of them are like buns.
Qin Yousang said: "There is a Cai Ji steamed bun shop in the polder outside the Qingshan Sect. The buns made by Lao Caitou are sometimes as ugly as this. It tastes good though. Dao Ye was tired of eating. ”
It's a little smaller, it's so ugly?! Burning the weather turned white.
