Chapter 23 Consumption, Meals
Arrived at Penglai Island, which will always exist only in the legendary East China Sea, and the two people he came into contact with were surnamed Ouyang, which was also quite interesting.
I feel that this Ouyang is on Penglai Island, and it should be a big surname.
We all know that whether we can enter Penglai Island in the East China Sea this time, or stop here, it is estimated that it depends on the communication with the reception officer named Ouyang Jasmine.
Ah Le took a deep breath, then walked to the bow of the boat, and said to a woman in a white robe on the dock: "In Xia Yule, he is the closed disciple of Shang Zhengtong, the number one master of the national government, and my master has a reason with the former princess of the sea on Guidao, so I am specially ordered to come here to visit her old man." I have a letter here, please check ......"
The woman toe lightly, and the man flew like a big bird, and then landed on the bow deck in a dashing manner.
All of us appeared on deck to greet her, and I looked at the receptionist at the back of the crowd, and saw that the woman was about thirty years old, in her prime, not pretty, but with a peculiar temperament.
I don't know if it's because she's wearing an old-fashioned white robe, which feels very intellectual.
Ouyang Jasmine stepped forward, saw the letter in Ah Le's hand, nodded slightly, and said that it was Mr. Shang's senior apprentice, and Mr. Shang and Elder Feng had a deep friendship, so I naturally knew this, and welcomed everyone to Penglai Island in the East China Sea.
She took the letter, but she didn't check it, but looked around, and then said, "Although I'm sorry, I need to take this letter to Elder Feng, as for you, before you get the approval, you can't move around at will, you can only rest in the protocol hotel at the dock, I don't know if you can hear clearly?" ”
Ah Le nodded, saying that if you follow the local customs, you should be like this.
Ouyang Jasmine said again: "There will be people from the patrol battalion who will come to check in a while, if you have anything that needs to be reported, you can talk to me here first." ”
Ah Le hurriedly pulled the two tied guys forward, and then told her what we had encountered on the way.
Hearing Ah Le's words, Ouyang Jasmine first expressed regret to the deceased, and then said: "The people of the Maritime Silk Road have been reckless in the East China Sea recently, and they often use the banner of our Penglai Island, this thing is indeed hateful, but it is a pity that some people are always partial, and now that there are these two people, what do those people say?" ”
Someone favoritism?
I listened to it next to me, and I was shocked, Lin Xi said that even Penglai Island in the East China Sea recognized the strength of the Maritime Silk Road and reincarnation, I just heard it, but I didn't expect that there was such a thing.
I listened while Jasmine Ouyang invited us to disembark and head to the Concierge Hotel.
The boat docked, there was a boat board over, we stepped off the boat, Ouyang Jasmine beckoned to a team of strong men wearing scale armor nearby, these should be the patrol battalion of Penglai Island in the East China Sea. After the other party came over, she gave the leader a brief introduction to the situation here.
After hearing this, the young man in the lead raised his eyebrows, and his face couldn't help but show joy, saying that these puppies on the Maritime Silk Road have always been cunning and slippery, how did you catch people on the spot?
Ah Le got my communication before, and said in a low voice: "It all depends on the concerted efforts of everyone." ”
Ouyang Jasmine led us all the way to a high-rise building with a very Chinese style, and then said to us: "This is the Diaoyutai Hotel of the Concierge, I will take you to rest inside, and I will go to clarify the matter of the letter." ”
Diaoyutai?
A man wearing a white hat walked out in front of the tall building, saw us, greeted us, nodded politely to us, and said Welcome to Diaoyutai, I am the shopkeeper Wang.
Ouyang Jasmine said, Lao Wang, you take them to Ludong Courtyard to rest, and I will go to Biyou Palace first.
Lao Wang agreed with a smile, and Ouyang Jasmine glanced at Lin Xi, who was supported by feather marks and looked very weak, and said, "If you need it, you can ask a doctor to come and help you deal with it." ”
Lin Xi said that I am myself, but I just need some medicine......
Before she finished her words, Yu Zhen shouted in a low voice, "Sister Lin Xi......"
This sentence reminded Lin Xi of Feather Scar's father, Lao Penglai, and hurriedly changed his words and said: "It's okay, I'm tired, I just want to ask the doctor on Penglai Island, if there is a special way......
Lao Wang smiled and welcomed us into the tall building, while Ouyang Jasmine left with the envelope.
The shopkeeper led us, pointed to the tall building here and said: "This protocol building has six floors, it is the highest building in the entire port, and the usual meals and the like can be solved here, and behind the building are various small courtyards, everyone follow me to Ludong Courtyard."
The lobby of the concierge building is bustling, and there are quite a lot of diners, which is very lively.
As I passed by, I looked at the people and found that most of them were dressed in modern clothes, some in suits and leather shoes, some in casual clothes, and some in slippers and beach pants.
In addition to the clothes, I saw that these people were also very distinctive, even the blonde foreigners.
There are even two black buddies from Africa.
Isn't Penglai Island very mysterious, we also took Shang Zhengtong's way, and it took a lot of hard work to arrive, and how did these people get here?
I was puzzled, but when I saw Lin Xi, I was relieved when I thought of the agent who brought her here.
In fact, each circle has its own relationship territory, and those who are not in it feel very mysterious, but if you join it, it is not so unusual.
For example, when I was before, I didn't go deep into it, and I felt that these cultivators, monks and Taoists seemed to be on the edge of the sky, and they would never meet each other in my life, but after the incident in Xia Xi, I found out that even my cousin was a person in the rivers and lakes.
Not only that, but also famous.
Came to Ludong Courtyard, it is a very exquisite courtyard, whether it is the shape of the house or the furniture inside, it is very beautiful, there is a strong Chinese style.
It seems to have returned to the Tang and Song dynasties.
But what's it called? The Diaoyutai has a wood, and the name of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in our country is exactly the same as that of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse where foreign guests are received.
I don't know exactly who imitated whom, but I think it's pretty powerful when I hear it.
After Lao Wang took us to visit the room, he took out six bamboo chips from his pocket and said to us: "The visitor is a guest, everyone takes these six bamboo chips, and within three days, everyone can rely on this bamboo chip to dine in the welcome building, and Ludong Courtyard also gives everyone three days for free." I'm right on the counter, and if there's anything you need to deal with, you can come to me, or just talk to our guys......"
Uh, three days?
When I heard this, I immediately wondered, what will happen after three days?
Could it be that it has driven us out?
This question is hidden in my heart, and I am embarrassed to ask, after sending away the shopkeeper Wang, I just said it, Ah Le was a little surprised on the side, and said that your business, can't it be done in three days?
I said just what if.
Ah Le listened to Shang Lao's explanation and told us that the currency of Penglai Island seems to be a special colored shell, which needs to be exchanged for shells, and then used for consumption, whether it is clothing, food, housing and transportation, or other transactions, all need to use colored shells, and other things will not circulate here.
I said how do you get these shells? Is it okay to use our stuff?
Ah Le nodded, and said Yes, if you take your sword to the market and sell it, you may be able to sell it for one hundred and eighty shells.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes and say that it was made by my girlfriend and nothing was changed.
Ah Le was anxious and said everyone, no matter what you come to do, try to finish it in these three days, and then we will leave.
I ignored him, but went back to the room assigned to us with Qu Fatsan, and as soon as the door closed, Qu Fatsan whispered: "Let's go out for a walk, what's going on?" ”
I hurriedly waved my hand and said don't, what if someone catches me and drives me out?
Qu Fatsan looked contemptuous and said that you are so afraid?
I said that the most important thing for me now is to find the bugs, and don't risk them.
Qu Fatsan said that what if the princess of the sea felt that Shang Zhengtong was ruthless and unhappy with him, and then blew us away? Haven't you come for nothing?
I said you are a little broken child, can you not speak so dirty?
Qu Fatsan stretched his waist and said that he was stupid on the boat, so let's go out for a walk.
I said let's go to the Concierge Building, we're hungry and see what we have to eat here.
Qu Fatsan was happy as long as he went out, nodded hurriedly, and said to leave.
We got out of the room, I knocked on the door one by one, asked if I wanted to go out to eat, Ah Le came all the way, nervous, at the moment to the ground, relaxed, I wanted to sleep, and Yu Zhen wanted to take care of Lin Xi, Lao Peng was reluctant to leave his daughter's sight in this strange environment, so he refused to go.
They didn't leave, so Qu Fatsan and I went back to the concierge building.
Entering the hall on the first floor, Qu Fatsan pulled a little two and said Big brother, where can I eat, is it to order food or what?
The shopkeeper saw that it was a little kid talking to him, squatted down, and said with a smile: "Are you coming here for consumption, or for a regular meal?" ”
Qu Fatsan said what is consumption and what is a typical meal?
The shopkeeper said that if you have a colorful shellfish in your pocket, you can order food, if there are free bamboo chips, then go there, there is a special package.
He resisted the bamboo chip, saying this?
The smile on the shopkeeper's face was still there, but his eyes were a little unenthusiastic, and he pointed to an area on the left and said, let's go by ourselves.
We walked to the bamboo chip dining area and found a pile of large steamed buns, as well as some leftovers from soup and water.
The master chef was a little embarrassed, and said I'm sorry, the meal has just passed, and that's all......
Qu Fatsan lost his temper and said Damn, can we order food?
The master shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't order food without Caibei.
A group of cooks next to him pouted and whispered: "How can you be so particular about eating white food?" ”
Qu Fatsan raised his eyebrows, and was about to get angry, when someone suddenly said: "If the two of you haven't eaten, it's better for me to be the east, I don't know if the two of you are willing to appreciate your face?" ”
