Chapter 388: Eating
At night, the Dragon Slayer City still maintains its original noise and prosperity, and on the spacious streets, there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and it has not weakened in the slightest because of the arrival of night.
The cries of the vendors were incessant, and although they were a little noisy, they easily dispelled the silence that should have existed under the twilight, without the slightest sense of disobedience.
The cold moonlight gradually released from the surface of the silver plate hanging high, sprinkled down, and shone into the vast city, causing a faint mysterious aura to derive from the darkness.
And the light of the lights that have been lingering on the streets for a long time adds a special charm to this mysterious atmosphere on its original foundation.
In the middle of the city, a brightly lit restaurant is filled with discerning diners, even if it costs a lot of money, to enjoy a great dinner.
Now, they are quietly staring at the back door leading to the kitchen with a pair of eyes full of expectation, as if waiting for a new dish to appear.
And the tempting aroma that gradually diffuses from the back kitchen is the first to stimulate everyone's taste buds, making them secrete a large amount of saliva one after another.
This kind of appearance is exactly what the shopkeeper of this restaurant is looking forward to, because now he can clearly feel the silver taels in their pockets through the appearance of each guest officer swallowing saliva.
This restaurant is one of the best restaurants in the Dragon Destroying City, and every first and fifteenth day of the new year, a tasting meeting of new dishes will be held in the restaurant.
Although it may sound unremarkable on the surface, for every food-loving diner, this session is a monthly activity that everyone must do.
However, to their disappointment, every time they were sent from the back kitchen, there was only a pitiful little bit of the tasting food.
So much so that before the diners could taste the delicious taste, all that was left was the juice that remained on the plate.
Stimulated by a large amount of saliva, they had to take out the silver taels from their pockets to buy the new dish.
Although they were well aware that this was a marketing method for the shopkeeper, they enjoyed the anticipation that this new dish brought them.
However, not everyone sitting in the restaurant was like all the diners, and there were four men with flat faces sitting in front of a remote table near the corner of the restaurant.
On the table in front of them are some of the previous dishes in the restaurant, although they are not as good as the new dishes that will be presented in front of everyone, but the taste is also very tempting.
"Seniors, look at their appearance, they are like hungry wolves who haven't eaten for several days, it's really ridiculous." Baihai held a porcelain bowl full of rice, and while eating the meal, his eyes were uncontrollably attracted by the expectant diners, and the words that gradually floated out of his mouth undoubtedly caused the unified gaze of all the diners present.
Although everyone's cheeks did not show the slightest indignation, the strange aura that gradually flowed out from their eyes made the four people sitting in the corner feel an inexplicable sense of depression.
After a long time, a diner sitting in the center snorted indifferently, and then joked in a low voice: "People whose tongues are numb, don't come here to make arrogant remarks, big heads and brainless." ”
Hearing this, Bai Hai's face immediately became a little surprised, his eyes stared directly at the diner who hadn't even turned his head not far away, but he didn't know how to refute it, and after a long time, Bai Hai looked at Elder Song Yan on the side with some grievances, as if he wanted to get a little comfort from Elder Song Yan: "Senior, he, he said that I have a big head and no brains." ”
"Don't worry too much about it." Taking advantage of the situation to send the food in front of him into his mouth, Elder Song Yan just glanced at Baihai's head casually, but he couldn't help but sneer, and after a long time, he responded to Baihai: "Besides, what people said is right, your head is indeed big enough, as for whether you have a brain, you have to ask yourself." ”
"Senior, you also say the same about me..."Today's Bai Hai seemed to feel a sense of self-shame, so that after expressing it lightly, Bai Hai slowly lowered his head and threw himself into the process of eating, and after seeing him like this, Elder Song Yan forcibly suppressed the smile in his heart, and then raised his hand and tapped on the table in front of him.
After successfully attracting the attention of everyone sitting around the table, Elder Song Yan then poured a faint seriousness on his cheeks, and then whispered: "No kidding, let's get down to business, now we have successfully left from the immortal ruins with the spirit treasure, so let's go to the Wanbao Pavilion auction house in Dragon Slaying City early tomorrow morning to see if we can sell the spirit treasure you two obtained, because only in this way can you have enough money to bury the two brothers who died, as for our share, Let's not want them all, let's take it as a tribute to the two brothers. ”
"As for the matter of Wang Sangun, although this guy has formed a bond with us, but as long as he is not stupid, I believe that he will never hide in his own house, I won't explain too much about this, you should also be very clear, and the only place where we can find his whereabouts at present is Wanbao Pavilion." Although Elder Song Yan's words were constantly being expressed to the outside world, the action of chewing the food in his mouth was still not affected in the slightest by this, which showed that the dry food he had eaten in the immortal ruins during this time was about to collapse Elder Song Yan's taste senses, and the tongue that was specially used for tasting fine wine was not as picky as before.
But anything that smelled of alcohol could easily stimulate the long-lost expression of enjoyment on Elder Song Yan's cheeks, but on the other hand, the two of the Bai Clans did not ease the tension in their hearts because of the expression on Elder Song Yan's cheeks, after all, the identity and status of the two of them belonged to the lower class, once they got out of Elder Song Yan's protection, I believe they would immediately become the main target of Wang Sangun's attack.
Therefore, as long as Wang Sangun is not brought to justice for a day, they will not be at peace for a day, and where is the Wanbao Pavilion that floated out of Elder Song Yan's mouth before, the two of them are naturally very clear as soul diggers, but why Wanbao Pavilion can be linked to Wang Sangun's whereabouts makes them very puzzled, therefore, after thinking for a while, Baihai smiled bitterly, tilted his head awkwardly, and asked in a low voice: "Senior, what does this Wanbao Pavilion have to do with Wang Sangun?" ”
Hearing this, the expression of enjoyment on Elder Song Yan's cheeks immediately disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a faint disappointment, as if what appeared in front of him was not a living person, but a piece of mud that could not be pasted on the wall: "I said Baihai, people say that you are brainless, and there is really no mistake at all." ”
After that, Elder Song Yan glanced at Sun Wukong on the side, and then stopped saying too much, and hurriedly devoted himself to the process of eating the meal in front of him.
And Sun Wukong, who felt what Elder Song Yan was trying to express, now slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, patted Baihai beside him on the shoulder, and explained in a low voice: "Didn't Wang Sangun get a lot of spiritual treasures from the immortal ruins? Then think about it, if he runs all over the street with Lingbao, wouldn't it be too eye-catching? Therefore, he must send the spirit treasures to the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion in Dragon Slaying City first, and exchange them for portable silver tickets, wouldn't it be convenient to run away? The silver tickets of Wanbao Pavilion have special seals, and the specific location can be found in Wanbao Pavilion, so as long as Wang Sangun sells Lingbao to Wanbao Pavilion, then his whereabouts will inevitably be within our grasp. ”
"Oh? It's amazing! In the past, the treasures we sold to Wanbao Pavilion were things that couldn't be put on the table, so not to mention silver tickets, there were few silver ingots, and now listening to you say this, it was really an eye-opener, but the status of Wanbao Pavilion is high, and it is as simple as we can take out Wang Sangun's whereabouts from people's pockets just by talking about it? Baihai's eyes now revealed a deep look of surprise because of Sun Wukong's explanatory words, but it didn't last long, and it was gradually replaced by a vague worry, although the problem that Baihai was worried about before was a thing worth thinking about in the eyes of a person like him with a low status and status.
But for Elder Song Yan and Sun Wukong, who were born in the Dragon Slaying Gang, it was not too difficult.
After all, compared to Wanbao Pavilion, the Dragon Slaying Gang is also one of the top famous factions in the Tang Dynasty, so it makes sense that they Wanbao Pavilion will give Elder Song Yan some face.
"Okay, when you're full, let's go back to our rooms to rest." Patting his round belly, Elder Song Yan burped with great satisfaction, and after drinking the last sip of wine in the pot, he explained to the people in front of him in a low voice, and after hearing the other party's words, everyone also put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands in turn, obviously, this hearty meal has made everyone very satisfied.
And just as everyone was about to turn around and leave, Elder Song Yan patted the brocade bag on his waist at Sun Wukong, as if he was signaling something.
After seeing Elder Song Yan's actions, Sun Wukong immediately understood what Elder Song Yan wanted to express - the purple gold box.
