Chapter 8: A Spoonful of Hatoyama
At night, Hao Zhao consolidated the law of space again, but he didn't dare to tear the space casually anymore, and now he also understands that if there are no spatial coordinates, if he tears the space casually, he may not know where it will be connected, the prison last time was lucky, if it was connected to the beast world or the chaotic space, Hao Zhao might die directly.
Then he used the aura of heaven and earth to wash his body and impact the second order of the conjoined period, which was strange to say, since Hao Zhao comprehended the law of space, he obviously felt that the fit with the aura of heaven and earth was much higher, which made him excited.
A large amount of majestic aura poured into his body, and the meridians in his body were instantly filled, no longer as before, little by little, but the pain caused by this instantaneous fullness was unimaginable, fortunately, Hao Zhao gritted his teeth and stiffened up, until the next morning, he was covered with mud, he knew that these were all impurities in his body.
"Wash, wash, bath!"
Hao Zhao was in a good mood and hummed all the way. As soon as the body moved, it was very flexible and relaxed, and the whole person wanted to lose a few pounds, and he couldn't help but float to the sky.
After Hao Zhao made a simple breakfast, he left Danzhou and Yuan'er's share, and after eating them all, he went to the largest farmers' market in Liehu City, the West Street Farmers' Market.
From East Street to West Street, you need to pass through the City Lord's Mansion, and when Hao Zhao was surprised, the City Lord's Mansion, which used to be very lively, is now very deserted, and the door really doesn't look like the center of a city.
There are a few white silk threads hanging along the wall of the city lord's mansion, and there are many incense paper money scattered around, as well as some old women wearing linen and filial piety. Hao Zhao heard passers-by say that the City Lord's Mansion suffered a disaster yesterday morning, and the whole family of more than 100 men, women, and children were not spared.
"My poor son, it's all bad for my father, forcing you to go to the city lord's mansion to seek an errand, I thought that I would achieve positive results, and I didn't want to suffer such a catastrophe, my poor son......"
The sound of crying was incessant, and the initiator of this incident could only bow his head in shame and walk briskly......
If he hadn't told the man in black about Danzhou's whereabouts that night, would this human tragedy have been avoided?
However, if time were turned back once, Hao Zhao believed that he would still make the same choice.
"Life, after all, is so fragile!"
Just when Hao Zhao was thinking wildly and was about to leave, he suddenly saw a few soldiers in fiery red armor, the first strong man wearing feathers on his head looked five big and three thick, it was Niu Yuanbo who escaped by luck, at this moment he commanded his soldiers majestically, cleaned up the white silk inside and outside the city lord's mansion, and dispersed the families of the deceased around, and did not find Hao Zhao mixed in the crowd.
"I'm also very sad that something like this happened in the City Lord's Mansion, but don't worry, His Majesty the Great Golden Emperor has already known about this, the new city lord will come soon, and he will be able to help everyone get justice at that time, everyone should disperse, let's not welcome the city lord with a few white silks."
The city defense general spoke, and everyone did not dare to object, and left the city lord's mansion with each other's support.
Among them, there were also some landlords and merchants dressed in brocade clothes who stayed, and they needed to "discuss" some things with the earth emperor of the Fierce Tiger City in front of them.
Seeing everyone leave, Niu Yuanbo frowned, just a moment, he saw a familiar figure, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared, he shook his head, the jealousy in his eyes flashed, thinking that this kind of thing should still give the new city lord a headache, if it wasn't for the trick left by Mr. Dongguo last night, he would have become a ghost long ago.
The West Street Farmers' Market is the largest trading venue in Fire City, crowded and lively.
Hao Zhao turned around a long time, and finally found a place to sell seafood, it was a simple wooden house full of fishy smell, the popularity was exceptionally deserted, in stark contrast to the lively market outside, the owner was a bearded, fishy uncle, sitting in the corner drowsy.
Hao Zhao found what he needed, so he pointed to a pot of fan-shaped objects in the corner and asked, "Uncle, how do you sell these things?" ”
The uncle drooped his eyelids, glanced at Hao Zhao, and waved his hand, "Where did the child come from?" Let's play! Don't get in the way of my business here, do you know what kind of treasure this is? ”
Hao Zhao has probably accepted the fact that he is a teenager, and he doesn't know if it is called this name in this world, he smiled bitterly, "Isn't it just scallops, I really want to buy them." ”
Uncle's eyes lit up, scallops are a rare thing, I didn't expect the young man in front of him to know him, and his eyes when he looked at Hao Zhao also changed, and then he found the sincerity in the eyes of the honest young man in front of him who was wearing the clothes of the shopkeeper.
However, the uncle is secretly happy in his heart, it hasn't opened for half a month, and if he doesn't make a fortune, I'm really sorry for myself!
He immediately said with a smile on his face, "Young man has good eyesight, my scallop is a new product that has just arrived, and it is very fresh, and it only sells you a silver coin." What do you think? ”
"A silver coin?" Hao Zhao was taken aback.
You must know that in line with the principle of price measurement, ten copper coins can buy a bag of ten catties of rice, according to the price of Hao Zhao's world, one copper coin is equivalent to 2 yuan, and one silver coin can be equivalent to one hundred copper coins, that is, two hundred yuan, two hundred yuan to buy a scallop, the price is not ordinarily high.
"Uncle, don't bluff me, how can scallops be sold at such a high price, ten silver coins, I want your plate." Hao Zhao estimated the market price at that time, and said directly.
Uncle was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was silent, although these scallops are rare, but the market is not very good, because scallops are produced in the coast, there is little demand in the inland, and there are fewer people who can make scallop dishes, and these scallops are his accidental income, he can sell a silver coin, he is very happy, he didn't expect to be able to sell ten silver coins, he immediately packed up a pot of scallops, made a good bag, and was handing it to Hao Zhao, when he heard a delicate and arrogant voice coming from outside the store.
"I want these things!"
Hao Zhao stretched out his hand to take the scallops, frowned, looked back, and couldn't help but light up in front of him, only to see a man and a woman walking towards him, the girl was wearing a pink dress, willow eyebrows and beautiful eyes, the bridge of the nose was straight, the small mouth was ruddy like a cherry, and she was full of joy, her crisp breasts were raised high, the willow waist was less than a hand, and the upturned Xiaotun saw the scale for the first time, and the slender legs set off the infinite grace of the figure, like a newly blooming lotus flower, floating in the center of the clear water.
The man was about twenty-one or twelve years old, and I saw that he had a magnificent figure, a bronze complexion, and his facial features were well-defined and deep, like a Greek sculpture, and he wore a golden belt around his waist, which looked wild and unrestrained, and the only fly in the ointment was his flattering smile, which gave people a feeling of extreme hypocrisy.
The girl in the little deerskin boots pointed to the pack of scallops in Hao Zhao's hand and said, "Boss, I want his bag of scallops, no matter how much money he pays, I will pay him twice the price,"
The girl said to the big tree, not looking at Hao Zhao from beginning to end.
When the uncle heard this, his eyes lit up, but today he had taken a shit luck, and subconsciously said: "Really? ”
"Nonsense, our Miss Hatoyama from the Dragon Descending Restaurant will joke with you?" The * behind the girl came out, and her flattering face was a little more aggressive.
"Ah, it turned out to be Miss Hatoyama of the Dragon Descending Restaurant, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know Taishan, I'll give it to you, to you." The uncle stared at Hao Zhao with a pleading look, which means again, I can't afford to mess with these two people, and you can't afford to mess with them.
Hao Zhao didn't eat this set, not to mention Danzhou's extremely not simple identity background, that is, his current strength, and he was not afraid of any martial artist in his infancy.
"What if I don't agree?"
"Which green onion are you? Looking for a fight! The young man's hand touched his waist, and suddenly a soft sword made of crystal light and flashed with a sharp light appeared in his hand.
"Spirit Weapon?!"
Hao Zhao exclaimed, the aura fluctuations on the soft sword poured into Hao Zhao's eyes, and this name automatically flashed in his mind, this is the benefit of mastering the laws of space, although his strength has not improved, but in the realm, Hao Zhao is like a plug-in in this world, and he has far surpassed the cognition of ordinary people.
The young man thought that Hao Zhao was frightened, and was beaming with pride, intending to further expand the fruits of victory, when he was suddenly interrupted by a delicate voice,
"Stop!"
The willow eyebrows of the girl in the pink skirt bent into two crescents, "This son, I really need this bag of scallops, and I hope that the son can be an adult, I will compensate you five silver coins, what do you think?" ”
"A spoonful, looking at his humble appearance, you know that he is not a good person, you don't need to ...... this kind of person" The handsome man said hurriedly.
Hatoyama frowned and said unceremoniously, "Xin Ningtian, if you make trouble for me again, don't follow me." ”
It is indeed difficult for people to refuse the beautiful girl's well-behaved and polite appearance, but Hao Zhao is not an ordinary person, he can feel her contempt for himself from the depths of the girl's eyes and the aura around him, and suddenly said unceremoniously, "I'll give you ten silver coins, can you give it to me?" ”
"Okay!" To Hao Zhao's surprise, the girl's answer did not hesitate.
“……”
Hunting geese all day long, I don't want to be pecked by geese today.
"No, no, no, I obviously bought this first, how can I make this bet with you?" Hao Zhao reacted that he had fallen into the trap of the beautiful girl in front of him from the beginning.
The smile on Hatoyama's face slowly receded, he glanced at Hao Zhao in disgust, and said domineeringly, "Xin Ningtian, the rest will be handed over to you." ”
When the young man named Xin Ningtian heard this, it was like being injected with chicken blood, and he was extremely excited, and the short sword in his hand flashed sharply in the sun.
"This sword is called the Golden Axe......"
As soon as he was in a pose, Xin Ningtian's words were interrupted again.
"Oh, two young ladies and gentlemen, I can't afford to toss you so much." The uncle knelt down between Hao Zhao and Xin Ningtian like lightning, and begged with a bitter face.
Then he patiently said to the boy who didn't know the height of the sky: "I said this little brother, it's not that we can't afford to provoke the Dragon Restaurant, you just take a soft one, don't harm my old man, okay?" ”
"What if I say no?" Hao Zhao was completely annoyed this time, the world always bullies the soft and fears the hard, I want you to see if I am the soft persimmon that others can handle.
Hao Zhao closed his eyes and began to concentrate, that wonderful feeling, that magical law, there was a burst of swelling pain in his head, Hao Zhao knew that this was because his mental power had not fully recovered, but now he just wanted to teach these two people a lesson, so he endured the swelling pain and tried to communicate that wonderful feeling, and after a while, a trace of enlightenment came to his heart.
The Golden Tiger is a low-level spiritual weapon, it was a gift from a distant relative with an incomparably noble status when Xin Ningtian passed the twenty-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, but Xin Ningtian himself only had the strength of the second order of the refining period, so this spiritual weapon was more of a symbol of noble status for him.
Xin Ning Tian was triumphant, and when he planned to further expand the victory gains, he suddenly felt like he was stuck in the quagmire, unable to move, the golden tiger in his hand let out a wail, and suddenly it was like a deflated thing, from the angry dragon in the sky to a soft earthworm, drooping his head, no matter how Xin Ningtian wielded it, he couldn't stand up.
It was the first time Xin Ningtian encountered this situation, but he knew that it must be the ugly kid on the other side who was secretly making a plan, and he yelled at Hao Zhao, "Stinky boy, what did you do to me?" ”
Hao Zhao slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, his hands were spread out, and he acted innocently, "I didn't do anything." ”
"Humph!" Hatoyama's eyes lit up, although the young man in front of him who seemed to be younger than himself was not good-looking and average-looking, but the whole person exuded a kind of king aura that shocked the world, and there was a dissolute smile on his face, Hatoyama trembled in his heart and snorted coldly, "Let's go." ”
Xin Ningtian regained his freedom, and after hurriedly taking a few steps, he turned his head and glared at Hao Zhao viciously, "I remember you, you wait for me." ”
As soon as Xin Ningtian walked out of the seafood market, the strange feeling disappeared, and the golden tiger regained his strength, Xin Ningtian scolded him, "Grandma's, I lost the chain at a critical moment, causing me to lose such a big face in front of a spoonful, and I will return you to the furnace to rebuild it when I go back, and it will be useless at all." ”
The "urn~" software made a burst of sounds, like protest, like pleading.
In the end, the scallops still fell into Hao Zhao's hands, he counted them carefully, there were as many as 30, and he was also very happy in his heart, and this unpleasant episode was left behind by him. The rest of the ingredients were easy to buy, Hao Zhao only took less than half an hour to get them together, and now he wants to go back to make this big dish - steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli.
When he returned to Jishang Pavilion and saw the empty rice bowls in the kitchen, Hao Zhao smiled.
This is the warmth of home, but what wind and rain have been experienced outside, as long as there is a harbor where you can dock, it is a happy captain.
"I still remember the castle in my hometown, the songs when I was a child, the eternal dependence, the slight smile, the dream when I was a child, I know ......"
Hao Zhao sang while cleaning up the scallops, and suddenly looked back and found a petite figure leaning against the door,
"Why are you here, Kite?" Hao Zhao asked.
Kite didn't answer Hao Zhao's question, but her eyes were full of stars, "Brother Zhao, what kind of song did you just hum, listen to it!" ”
Hao Zhao smiled knowingly, and the golden wheat wave appeared in front of him again, "That's the song of my hometown." ”
"Oh, where is your hometown? I've never heard of you. The little kite said curiously.
"It's a very distant place." Hao Zhao looked up at the sky, wondering if there would be anyone on the other side of the cloud sky who was also thinking about him?
Kite felt the sadness in Hao Zhao's eyes, and thought that he must have unspeakable memories, so she took light steps, sat down beside Hao Zhao, pulled her sleeves up to her lotus-like arms, and said with a smile, "I'll help you, Brother Zhao." ”
"Hmm!"
As soon as Hao Zhao's words fell, he heard an exclamation from the kite, like a ghost, and ran to the door with a little face, his little face turned pale with fright, pointed to the scallops in front of Hao Zhao, and said in a trembling voice, "What is this?" It's disgusting! ”
Hao Zhaowan smiled, "This is scallops, a delicacy with high nutritional value. ”
Kite looked at the small lumps of flesh that were still wriggling, her heart was numb for a while, she pinned her face to the side, and said suspiciously, "I don't believe you, Brother Zhao, can you eat this thing?" ”
Hao Zhao asked a little funny, "Have you never eaten this before?" ”
Kite shook her head again and again without hesitation, "No, no, I definitely haven't eaten it." ”
"Okay, I'll give you a taste of it that night."
"People don't want to eat such disgusting things!" After saying that, the kite left the kitchen as if she had fled.
At the same time, in a luxurious room in the City Lord's Mansion.
A young man's face turned pale, and his voice trembled a little and asked, "You, did you really see him walk into the Extreme Pavilion?" ”
On the ground kneeling a little man in a plain domestic servant's uniform with gold edges, he said with certainty: "Small, 100% sure, and, and..."
"And what?" The boy asked, standing up.
"And the little one also saw the boss of the Jishang Pavilion come out in person and joke with him." The little guy had also heard about the tragedy that happened in the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago, and before he had time to feel the beauty of the chicken dog ascending to heaven, the young master in front of him asked himself to follow the fierce god.
"It's over, it's over." The young man sat on the chair and said weakly, no longer arrogant.
Then, as if he remembered something, he said viciously to the little servant: "I must not let my father know about this, otherwise I will make your death ugly." ”
The little guy kowtowed again and again, "Young master, don't worry, Xiao Wu won't remember anything when he leaves this door." ”
The young man nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand to let the little girl retreat, and then took out a statue of a god from the drawer, kowtowed to him three times, and said something in his mouth: "Great creator god, please forgive me for my reckless actions and bless my family with safety!" ”
Early the next morning.
"Ah sneeze~" Hao Zhao blew his nose and thought to himself, who is talking about himself.
Early in the morning, Hao Zhao and Danzhou took the remaining 20 steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli and went to the capital of the White Tiger Empire, White Tiger City.
Fierce Tiger City is located in the easternmost part of the White Tiger Empire, so it is very far away from White Tiger City, but for the Celestial Wildebeest who travels thousands of miles in a day, it is only a day's journey.
The Celestial Horn Horse has a pointed head on its head, its four hooves are wide and huge, it is a first-class magical beast, but it has no attack power, and it has a gentle temperament, it is the darling of the wind element, it runs like a gust of wind, travels thousands of miles a day, and is the most common means of transportation in this world.
Hao Zhao had also seen this kind of Heavenly Wildebeest when he was in Qinglong City before, there were as many as sixteen horses, which was the car of His Majesty the Emperor of the Qinglong Empire.
Hao Zhao and Danzhou sat in the carriage, his eyes couldn't help but drift to the stunner beauty opposite, tall and concave figure, when she put on a slightly tight purple dress, she showed her graceful and delicate body to the fullest plump willow waist, and the bumps of the carriage moved forward, driving her arms and hips to shake slightly from side to side.
Hao Zhao couldn't stand it in his heart, so he had to change the topic and said, "The shelf life of these steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli is very short, and when I arrive in White Tiger City, I'm just afraid of ......."
Danzhou Liu eyebrows and beautiful eyes, with a shallow smile, wearing a purple short-sleeved cheongsam, with a bumpy figure, sat on the other side of the carriage, and said: "Don't worry, I have been prepared, look at this." ”
I saw her take out a small boxy wooden box from under the carriage, and there was an opening three inches long and wide on the box, Danzhou smiled and said, "Reach in and take a look." ”
Hao Zhao put his hand into it suspiciously, and a cold meaning suddenly passed along his arm, and his face showed a look of surprise, "This is a refrigerator, it's amazing!" ”
Danzhou smiled slightly, "This is the storage cabinet, we make a restaurant, and we can't use it indispensably, isn't it magical?" ”
Hao Zhao nodded, carefully put the steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli inside, and then studied it with interest, this kind of mobile refrigerator is really magical, but where does its energy come from?
Hao Zhao pondered repeatedly, and finally found a blue gem at the bottom of the box, and just as he was about to buckle it down and study it carefully, a beautiful and soft slap slapped on his hand.
"You want to die, don't you? With this low-grade crystal stone, the refrigerator will not be able to use. ”
Hao Zhao had no choice but to laugh twice, he was not stupid, he naturally understood that the energy source of this refrigerator was this low-grade crystal stone, thinking that no matter what era it was, human wisdom was endless.
"Oops!"
Suddenly, the carriage was bumpy, and Danzhou was unsteady on his feet, and directly pounced on Hao Zhao's body, burying Hao Zhao's head in the middle of his chest*.
The carriage suddenly became extremely charming, and just when the beautiful woman didn't know how to face it, Hao Zhao's heart moved, and his face changed instantly, "Not good!" ”
