Chapter 60 Customs and Customs
The sky in early summer has always been clear and clean, but in the huge Terran city, I don't know if it is due to the dense population or other reasons, the weather is particularly hot.
The location of the holy capital is the Central Plains. For thousands of years, this was the best location in Middle-earth, and this was one of the holy places that the demons wanted to fight for the most.
On that day, Lu Beichen passed through the stone chamber, and after falling into a certain space, he actually came to the Terran City between pitches. But what greeted him was not the picturesque scenery and kindness of the people as before, but a pair of surprised eyes.
"Where did he come from......?"
"I just saw that there was no one here, where did he come from. ”
I don't know why, but the first place he fell into turned out to be a lawn. Now he is like the stone monkey in a certain book, feeling so unnatural in those strange eyes, and there is an unprecedented strangeness.
There would never be so many people on Sun Moon Mountain, and Lu Beichen was naturally not used to being in this dense crowd. He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and under the reflection of the scorching sun, there was a feeling of almost suffocation.
When others see his pale appearance, you say a word, I say a word.
"It can't be a youkai...... I don't know whose guess it is, but it actually scared a large group of people.
"Look at his powerless appearance, even if it's a demon, we're not afraid. "I don't know who it is, but I said this.
"This little book grows so white, sister, this is the type I like. The two women were particularly noticeable in the crowd. And one of them half-hidden, shy voice was particularly prominent in the smoking and drinking voices of the group of rough men.
"Whoever he is, it's none of our business. Let's go. A man next to him looked at the woman, and then cast a disdainful look at Lu Beichen, urging them to leave.
Maybe it's because it's getting late, or maybe it's because it's too busy to see it, and many people listen to this and disperse.
Lu Beichen, who had not yet come to his senses, realized for a long time that he had come to the legendary concentration of the Terran elite, the Holy Capital. watched everyone gradually disperse, only then did I remember that I was not familiar with the path of life, "Don't go ...... you first"
But the onlookers returned to their places, selling paintings and eating, as if they hadn't heard him speak.
He stood up, dusted himself off, then walked over to a small stall selling toys and whispered, "Hello." ”
The little boss of the stall looked at him, then did not respond, and continued to go about his business.
Lu Beichen was a little puzzled, why the people here seemed to have no ears, but their tongues seemed to be smeared with oil, and they spoke in a squeaky manner, and the speed of speech was so fast that they couldn't keep up.
But in fact, the people here are nothing special. Lu Beichen has not been good at words since he was a child, and his stammering problem was only changed when he was studying in the academy, perhaps because he was used to the rhythm of Xiaoyan and Gu Yin's speech, and he rarely talked to strangers in the past, so he was a little unaccustomed to listening now.
"Boss, I want to ask ......"
"Oh, young man, don't stop me here, I'm going to work, go and play. The little boss didn't wait for Lu Beichen to finish speaking, so he told him to leave.
Lu Beichen followed the direction of his finger and saw the pile of children playing with mud in the distance.
"I'm not a child, how can I play?" he thought to himself, and looked at the little boss in bewilderment, wanting to say something but being embarrassed to stand there, so he left the stall with his hands in his hands.
On the Holy Capital Road, passers-by were in a hurry.
The sun is fading, and the twilight is approaching, just like the human mood, very heavy.
Lu Beichen asked many people along the street, and no one seemed to be willing to pay attention to him, and they all did the same action - first take a good look, then shook his head, and then didn't talk much.
Could it be that the world-famous holy capital city is so cold?
Why did they look at me and shake their heads? Why do they shake their heads?
This fifteen-year-old boy, when he first came to the Holy Capital, felt unprecedented strangeness and coldness. Even though it was summer, he couldn't help but feel that the cold air hovering around the dantian was faintly haunting, which made him feel cold.
The sun had long since gone down, and there was not even a single rainbow on the horizon, but it was dark without warning. There are no stars in the boundless sky, only a crescent moon.
He didn't like to see the moon the most, especially when the moon was full, and the night sky without stars made him feel lonely. And in this city, which is five or six times more densely populated than the mountains, he still doesn't feel a trace of warmth.
It was getting late, and he hadn't eaten yet, so he was ready to find a good restaurant and have a good meal.
Just because he's never been to the Holy Capital doesn't mean he doesn't know the layout here. Fortunately, before going down the mountain, he had already learned a lot from Gu Yin's mouth. Such as some good places to eat, such as some nice views.
Perhaps because of his poor health, he was a diet-conscious person from a very young age. Therefore, for eating, Lu Beichen will never treat himself badly, the three meals must be set regularly, the combination of meat and vegetables, and almost every meal will have meat, eggs, and vegetables to match the grains.
Only by eating well can he maintain a good condition.
To the east of the holy capital, there is a road called "Nine Streets", where there is a lot of traffic, people come and go, Gu Yin said that it is the most lively place in the whole holy capital, and there is a teahouse called "Guangzhilou", specializing in refreshments.
"Where the crowds are the most lively, there will definitely be news to be known. ”
I heard that the cooks inside are all girls, and every refreshment is from the hands of these little chefs. The refreshments in the jade hand, listening to the precious, smelling the fragrance, looking exquisite, eating and enjoying, can naturally attract countless men to come and enjoy.
But in addition, there are many women who come here, because the production is really worth the money.
A little tea, each piece is fresh, and the supply exceeds demand every day.
The big shopkeeper of Guangzhilou is surnamed Zhang, and everyone calls him Zhang, but over time he has forgotten his real name.
This shopkeeper is not a master of the Tao, but because he is well versed in the way of business, he has developed a small teahouse into the largest and most famous teahouse in the holy capital. can rely on business to make a fortune in the holy capital, except for the medicine hall in the west, it is estimated that he is the only one.
Lu Beichen had a strong sense of direction, and with the flow of the crowd, he quickly found this place.
The reason why Hironolou is called a pavilion is because it has not only one floor, but five floors. The lower two floors are for eating, while the upper two floors are for the inn. The middle floor is where the shopkeeper lives.
As Lu Beichen imagined, Guangzhilou is really not an ordinary restaurant and inn, and the design inside gives people an unimaginable sense of nobility.
Inside, as he imagined, it was brightly lit and neatly furnished, and a table and chair exuded a clean atmosphere.
There are a few young girls who are busy at the front desk, wiping the table, picking up the food, serving the food, looking only thirteen or fourteen years old, but the movements are very quick, as if they have been deliberately trained, and it seems to be a habitual work.
Lu Beichen looked at their smooth coordination movements, and couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart, how many years of tacit understanding has this been cultivated?
He had heard Gu Yin talk about these little chefs. These little cooks were all adopted by the shopkeeper, and the oldest was only seven years old, but they began to take on the burden of life at a young age. At that time, he was actually quite envious of this group of children, even if they were lonely, at least they had someone to accompany them.
However, when Gu Yin came to the Holy Capital, he was still a child, and the little chefs who were about the same age as Gu Yin have now grown into delicate girls. And in terms of quantity, it seems that there are more girls.
Some of these girls have been following the shopkeeper Zhang, and they are also the ones Gu Yin saw back then, while the other part is the helpers invited in recent years, with different ages and different dresses, but it definitely does not affect the visual effect of them standing together.
In this way, there are naturally very few people who come here to eat, some may be for food, some may be for feelings, and some are for those beautiful girls.
Lu Beichen casually found a table, sat down, and then looked around. He was not familiar with the customs and customs here, and he had already suffered a little bit just now, so he was a little cautious, first to see what others ordered, and then choose by himself, so as not to make any jokes.
Not long after watching it, a girl came up and asked, "This little boy, what do you want to eat?"
Lu Beichen raised his head, his expression was a little restrained, not because of how beautiful this girl was, but just because he was a little afraid of embarrassment. Out of fear, his gaze began to dodge, and then he landed very cleverly on a table in the distance.
"I want that. He pointed into the distance and whispered.
On that table, there were three or two teenagers, probably about the same age as Lu Beichen. An intact roast chicken on the table is particularly noticeable.
The girl looked at the table that was far away, and wondered how this man had seen so far away.
It's just a little unreasonable, and the girl's doubts only lasted for a second before disappearing, and then she jumped to the front desk to place an order.
I don't know why, Lu Beichen's voice was obviously very small, and the table was very far away from him, but a gaze on that table turned around as Lu Beichen's voice fell.
Lu Beichen didn't see what the man looked like, so he lowered his head. Because he also noticed that gaze, and then he thought that it was not a good habit to point fingers at others, and he was a little ashamed.
His breath was a little short, for fear that he might get into trouble. After all, he came to a strange place, he was unfamiliar with life, if he caused any trouble and offended someone, there was no one who could help him, and he didn't want anything to happen again, affecting the progress of his letter delivery.
But thankfully, that gaze wasn't the calm that preceded the storm. The person sitting at that table did not come over, and then scolded as Lu Beichen thought.
"Maybe it's because I'm too nervous, I actually spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. After a voice passed in his heart, Lu Beichen didn't think about anything anymore, because the roast chicken also came up.
(I wrote this and found a lot of pictures, in fact, Guangzhilou is a bit like the Canton Tower, and each floor is like an Internet celebrity store that integrates Guangzhou's local characteristics, with particularly pure refreshments and unique design.) In the past, I loved to write about 2500, but today I stopped at 3000, which is more beautiful. )
