Yangzhou, known as Guangling, Jiangdu, Weiyang in ancient times.

The history of the city can be traced back to 486 B.C., Yangzhou has a long history, brilliant culture and prosperous commerce.

Located in the middle of Jiangsu Province, at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the water system is developed, and the goods can go directly from Yangzhou to the east of the Yangtze River, and can go to sea to the Wa Kingdom, Ryukyu and Nanyang Places.

Therefore, Yangzhou has become one of the most important operating stations in the country, so 365 days a year, from the opening of the city gate to the closing of the city gate, the business farmers who enter and exit the city gate are endless.

At this time, there was a long queue outside the city gate, and there was a lot of noise for a while, which made Tang Chen, who had never seen this before, feel novel.

He traveled all the way to Yangzhou and rushed to Yangzhou, which had taken more than ten days.

Compared with when he crossed over, Tang Chen's clothes were no longer so smooth, his hair was messy, his face was full of tiredness, and he looked like a dusty man.

However, although he looked a little embarrassed at this time, his spirit and spirit had been greatly improved.

When his strength was restored, his breath was stable, but the whole person seemed a little confused, not knowing what to do next. And now, his eyes are bright, and the spirit of the whole person has been qualitatively improved.

Although his clothes were stained, they couldn't hide his dusty temperament. The light in his eyes, as well as the expensive robes on his body, made the soldiers in front of the city gate dare not slack off.

Therefore, he didn't even pay the tax to enter the city, and the soldiers guarding the city just said not to make trouble and let him in.

Looking at the bustling Yangzhou City, he doesn't want to do anything now, he just wants to take a hot bath and have a big meal.

He hadn't taken a good shower for more than ten days, and all he ate was charred and roasted meat by himself.

opened a room in the largest restaurant in Yangzhou, soaked in a wooden barrel full of hot water, Tang Chen was moved to tears!

Damn, who said that game is roasted deliciously? Doesn't everyone who crosses through the country have good cooking skills? Why is your own barbecue so bad?

Novels are all lies!

There are many demons in troubled times, and in the past few days, he has really had enough, he has been robbed more than ten times along the way, and the second-rate masters who can't usually be seen all year round are almost all over the street.

Every time he was robbed, he met a master, and even once he met a first-class master as a robber, what kind of world do you say this is?

Fortunately, the people were just handy, and when they saw that Tang Chen slipped away, they didn't chase and kill much, otherwise he might have to cross again.

After taking a bath, Tang Chen walked to the shop downstairs and occupied a better position in the lobby on the second floor, while looking at the scenery downstairs, while tasting the signature dishes of the restaurant.

As for how the money on the body came from, it was very simple, go to the store and take out the jade pendant that represents the Taoist heirs, and the clothes and room have hot water and everything.

That's right, this restaurant is the property of the children of Taoism, of course, it is a secret stronghold, and others don't know about it.

Although this stronghold has the purpose of providing convenience for Taoist disciples, it is very hidden, ostensibly, this is the industry under Li Valve, and thirty percent of the monthly income is to be handed over.

This is a good way to disguise, and many Taoist industries have taken root in the Central Plains in this way, forming a big net covering the world.

In the past, Ning Daoqi was in charge, but now it is the strength of Tang Chen's subordinates, although it is not possible to kill people and set fires, it is enough to provide information or something.

Moreover, the combined financial resources were so much that Tang Chen was dumbfounded, not to mention much, it was more than enough to support a warlord, and it was no wonder that Li Yuan would seek the support of Taoism.

Unconsciously, a table of dishes was finished, and after settling the bill, Tang Chen walked out. He was not an idle person, he was outside the city gate before, and he wanted to find a place to rest, but now as soon as he eats, he wants to go out for a walk.

It is said that it was here that Ssangyong began its journey.

He wanted to look around the city to see if he could meet Ssangyong, and he wanted to see what the world-famous Ssangyong would look like now.

To put it simply, he was curious, and he wanted to see what was so magical about the main character.

"What kind of position does the protagonist have in the virtual world?"

"Gaia, Gaia? Gaia, are you there? Squeak now! ”

In the past, Gaia came out from time to time to scare him, which made Tang Chen depressed, but now he is gone again when he needs it, what a pit, to be honest, Tang Chen used to feel noisy, but now Gaia doesn't speak, he feels unaccustomed to it, this person really has a tendency to be masochistic.

"Do I have masochistic tendencies?" Shaking his head fiercely, he threw out this terrible idea, Tang Chen resolutely would not admit it.

While thinking, he raised his feet and walked towards the south gate, it was only three o'clock, that is, around 10:45, the sun was starting to exert force again, and it was early summer, so it was warm and comfortable to bask on people.

While basking in the sun, Tang Chen walked towards the row of bun shops next to the south gate.

"Would you like a few buns?" Asking about the fragrance coming from the bun shop, Tang Chen was a little entangled.

From the time to the present, Tang Chen has really never eaten the buns in this world, and smelling the fragrance wafting from the row of steamed bun shops, Tang Chen, who has just eaten, can't help but be a little greedy, but he is a little hesitant when he touches his swollen belly.

The shopkeeper before looked at the jade pendant that Tang Chen took out to represent the Taoist leader, and was directly frightened, so he didn't neglect Tang Chen at all, and served him comfortably, the meals were all made by the chef with the best skills in the restaurant, plus Tang Chen hadn't eaten anything good for several days, so he ate it.

After thinking for a moment, the foodie side overwhelmed reason, he still walked forward, ready to buy one or two buns to taste, not that he didn't want to buy more, but he had eaten a little too much before.

When I got closer, I saw that this row of steamed bun shops was full of people, and the front of each house was full of people buying steamed buns. But most of them are ordinary traders.

It's also normal, those who have money will come here to buy things?

Even if they want to eat, they will be done by their subordinates, and they will not walk with these "inferior people".

Tang Chen came to the most crowded Feng Ji bun shop.

Although all the steamed bun shops are doing well, they are much worse than this one, and he has seen the reason.

"Sister-in-law, come with six vegetable buns, I want cabbage filling!"

"Okay, thank you for your patronage, two baht!"

"Sister-in-law,......"

"Hey, it's okay right away, don't worry, come one by one!"

It turned out that the people who sold the steamed buns were different, and the others were all men or old women, but this one was a young and beautiful woman selling steamed buns.

For the traders who buy steamed buns outside, where to buy steamed buns is not to buy.

The taste of this row of steamed bun shops is about the same, and the people in this service are more beautiful, so they are naturally the first choice, and only if they are in a hurry or are not interested in it, they will buy it next to it.

Therefore, it will cause the business of this steamed bun shop to be several times more than that.

This is my sister-in-law? So Ssangyong is also nearby?

It's just that after staying by the side for a while, he didn't see Shuanglong appear, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Young man, it's your first time in Yangzhou!"

Tang Chen accosted an old man with a basket on his back, wrinkles on his smiling face, bronzed skin, bulging arm muscles, a whitewashed short coat, and shoes covered with patches, all of which showed that this old man was a farmer who did manual labor all year round.

Looking at the few chickens tied up in the back basket, Tang Chen's face flashed with a look of surprise, nine out of ten farmers who lived outside the city came to the city to sell chickens to subsidize their families.

"Uh-huh, yes, uncle!" Tang Chen lived in the countryside when he was a child, and he didn't leave the countryside until he was in high school, so he had a natural sense of intimacy with the farmers, so he couldn't help but buy a few steamed buns and chat with the old farmers.

"Childe, now there are very few people like you who don't care about their identity, if it is an ordinary childe, looking at the old farmer, he must cover his mouth in disgust and walk away,"

"Hehe, how can it be, the current so-called nobles, aren't their ancestors also farming?"

"Hahahaha, Childe's words are reasonable!"

Unconsciously, the two chatted from farming to the court, and from the court to the people's livelihood, and time passed like this, until the three chickens in the old man's back basket were sold out, and Tang Chen found that most of the time had passed.

"Okay, the old man is going back, there are still some things at home, I'll leave first! Take care, Childe! ”

"You always go slowly!"

Looking at the back of the old man leaving, Tang Chen was silent, from the old man's words and deeds, he saw that this old man was not an ordinary person, and ordinary people could know so much.

In this era, knowledge is always in the hands of a few, and although it is the world of novels, it is only the increase in force value, and the social structure has not changed much.

Moreover, Tang Chen's keen perception told him that this old man was not simple, and his cultivation was not inferior to him.

However, such a first-class master who can crisscross the rivers and lakes is willing to work in the fields, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and it can be seen that even if he is very poor, he still feels very happy.

Let him think deeply, what will he be like in the future?

In this way, Tang Chen lowered his head and thought about things, so he planned to go back to the restaurant.

"Bang!"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! This son, the little one didn't mean it, the little one damned it, get your clothes dirty, I'll take a picture of you! As he spoke, he was about to get up and pat Tang Chen's dust.

It turned out that Tang Chen was walking while thinking deeply, and he didn't pay attention, so he let a little beggar in front of him bump into him, but what kind of cultivation was he?

This time, not only did he not feel anything at all, but the beggar was still under the automatic defense of the true qi on his body, and he was violently bounced away and fell into the sky.

The beggar was dressed in tattered clothes, and the black face could not hide the bruises underneath, and it could be seen that this little beggar was not doing well in Yangzhou.

Seeing that the beggar was about to pat his clothes with his black dirty hands, Tang Chen hurriedly dodged away, "No need, no need, little brother, you're not hurt, are you?" ”

"Childe, I'm fine, I'm really sorry, I accidentally bumped into you, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about the small ones!" As he spoke, he lowered his head, and only dared to look at Tang Chen standing in front of him with his spare eyes, the scared look, as if he had made a mistake when he was a child and was caught by the teacher in the office to lecture him, which made Tang Chen speechless for a while.

"Am I the kind of person who is stingy?" Thinking like this, Tang Chen hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay, you go, be careful when you walk next time!" ”

The beggar walked away with a thousand thanks, and the pedestrians who had just fenced it around saw that there was no bustle to see, and they also walked away.

Tang Chen felt amused, but also felt a little pity for the beggar, seeing that he was also seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as himself, but he was reduced to the point of begging.

This is all the fault of the times, even if China enters the federal era more than a thousand years later, aren't there these beggars on the streets? He wanted to do something, but he didn't have a clue for a while, scratched his scalp, and had to walk towards the restaurant.

"No, my purse!"

When he arrived at the gate, Tang Chen subconsciously touched his waist, which was empty, and the money bag hanging there was gone.

Tang Chen subconsciously thought of the beggar, and when he was angry, he had the heart to go back to look for it, but after thinking about the beggar's condition and touching his stomach, he still retracted his steps and sighed, "Alas, it's not easy!" ”

There are no important things in it, just a few taels of silver, and it hasn't changed his habit of dividing the whole change and opening it, so he doesn't care much about it, and wiped the bag on his chest, and it's still there.

The idea of going back to the boy was extinguished.

Now, he wanted to fill his stomach even more, and it was only an hour before he felt hungry again.

Since cultivating the Immortal Technique, his digestion ability has improved many times, and after he has eaten enough, he will soon be hungry, which is why he was so embarrassed during the few days when he was in a hurry.

That's hungry!

It's just a meal, go back and have a big meal, it's worthy of a big restaurant, the taste is really not covered! Thinking of this, Tang Chen hurriedly went upstairs-
