Most of the immigrant communities are lined with low-slung bungalows, and most of them are inhabited by families mainly miners. There is a market not far from the residential area, and there are no mobile vendors in the community, and residents can only go to this market if they want to buy some food and clothing.

In ordinary people, the income of miners is definitely very high, but some people are staring at the little coins in their pockets. As long as you buy something at the market here, the price is not cheap at all.

Of course, there are no walls in this mining area, and those immigrants can also choose to leave here and go to other parts of the Ming capital to earn a living, but they will be ostracized in Mingdu, and second, they will not be able to find such good jobs elsewhere.

After thinking about it, it's better to stay here, as long as you endure it, things will be more expensive, save money, and you can still save a lot of money.

In the middle of the market is one of the most well-decorated restaurants, which naturally occupies the largest area, and there are many diners inside, most of whom are local miners and their families.

They sat at the dinner table in twos and threes, and there were only a few dishes on each table, and most of them were vegetarian dishes.

Only occasionally there are a few tables with children, and a small plate of meat dishes will be ordered on the table. The mother would be distressed to put the meat and vegetables into her husband's bowl, and the husband did not dare to eat more, so he also gave the meat to the child, and pulled the rice in the bowl vigorously.

Next to them sat another, younger miner, staring at the meat on their table and swallowing.

The tables and tables are extremely economical, but the air in the restaurant is filled with a rich smell of meat.

On one side of the lobby, there is a huge wooden barrel full of stewed beef, from which the rich aroma of braised meat emanates.

There were two big men sitting next to the barrel, and each took out a palm-sized piece of stewed beef, and while blowing hot air, he cut it into small pieces with a knife and put it in his mouth.

The tempting flavor of the beef does not take any teeth, and as soon as you enter the mouth, it is full of aroma and exhales from the mouth and down the nose, leaving a piece of the most comfortable enjoyment in the world.

"Hmmm......"

A big man snorted in satisfaction as he ate. There was another burst of feasting, and within a few bites, the palm-sized beef was all eaten by him.

He was still unsatisfied, fished out the second piece from the barrel and continued to gobble it up.

The other people in the dining hall saw him eating beef from a distance, and they couldn't help but sigh and wanted to take a bite, but they all held back.

While eating, another big man laughed and shouted into the dining hall: "The best sauce beef, sure enough, you have to eat it in a big gulp to be refreshing." ”

"The brothers have been tired from the underground for a day, but don't treat yourself badly by eating. Pick and search what you do, you can eat what you want. ”

As soon as he persuaded him, the young miner before had another bulge in his throat, apparently having the urge to serve a plate of sauced beef.

A middle-aged miner next to him hurriedly persuaded: "Young man, don't spend that unjust money." They're ruthless here, so you might as well save the money. ”

His dissuasion seemed to work, and the young miner just nodded, but his eyes remained on the barrel of beef.

The big man who was eating beef continued to shout leisurely: "If you don't bring life and death, what's the use of keeping so much money?" Only what you eat in your stomach is your own, and you can't even bear to eat the meat or are you not a man? ”

The young miner couldn't hold back any longer, and left his seat to walk that way.

The middle-aged miner no longer persuaded him, but just sighed. Of course, he also wanted to eat a mouthful of fragrant beef in sauce and drink it with a bottle of spirits.

After digging for a day, the physical fatigue urgently needs to be relieved by paying homage to the Five Organs Temple.

He had a lot of wages, but he still had a wife and children to support, and he couldn't treat himself to food and drink like the young miner, and there was a little envy in his eyes when he looked at each other.

Seeing the young miner walking towards him, the big man who was shouting couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

The young miner looked at the steaming wooden barrel and swallowed his saliva and asked, "How much is the sauce beef?" ”

The big man bared his teeth and said, "One two taels, one silver soul coin." ”

After hearing this price, the young miner couldn't help but be stunned and said, "One ...... A Silver Soul Coin? Why is it so expensive? ”

His current salary is not high, only about two Silver Soul Coins a day, obviously this one Silver Soul Coin's sauce beef is too expensive for him.

Hearing this, the other big man immediately snorted coldly and glared at the young miner.

"Why is it so expensive? It's expensive there, it's been this price for so many years. ”

The young miner was stunned by him, not daring to speak.

"That is, don't talk nonsense with your eyes open, and our beef sauce is not meant to be stewed casually. One copy is only one Silver Soul coin, how cost-effective. ”

The two big men sang and harmonized, relying on their own momentum to suppress the young miner and not dare to reply.

While he was stunned, the big man on the left had already fished out a large piece of sauced beef from the wooden barrel, put it on a plate, and threw it on the table.

He weighed it casually and said, "Less than a catty, just count your four Silver Soul Coins." ”

Only then did the young miner react, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's too expensive, I won't buy it." ”

Seeing that he was about to refuse, the big man on the left immediately changed his face and said coldly: "You asked the price and didn't buy it, are you entertaining us?" ”

He slammed the table with a loud bang.

The surrounding miners seemed to be accustomed to this, and they didn't dare to say anything at all, but lowered their heads and accelerated the speed of eating, intending to leave after eating silently as soon as possible.

"I ...... I really can't afford it, my salary is only two Silver Soul Coins a day......"

The young miner's voice began to tremble, and he kept begging the two big men.

"Hmph, it's only two Silver Soul Coins a day." The big man on the right snorted coldly and said, "Sometimes find your own reasons, okay, after so many years, has the salary risen, have you worked hard to go to the mine?" ”

"It's been so many years, it's all at this price, how can you not afford to work hard every day to go to the mine? It's your own problem that you can't afford it, I think you have to eat more beef to go to the mine to make more efforts. ”

He glanced to the side, and the other understood, and scooped up several pieces of beef from the bucket one after another.

"Don't fish, don't fish, enough, I'll buy it." The young miner hurriedly pleaded.

The big man on the right smiled and said, "Haha, okay, buy so much sauce beef at once, Lao Tzu will give you a small change, just give you a golden soul coin." ”

The young miner's face suddenly turned pale. There wasn't much left of his salary after deducting his daily food and clothing, and a gold soul coin was also a long savings for him.

The two big men smiled triumphantly at the same time.

Even if this whole vat of sauced beef is added up, the cost is only a few gold soul coins, and this small piece can be sold for one gold soul coin, which is already a huge profit.

They are not worried that the young miners will not be able to pay for it, they are very good at how much money they have in their pockets, and some of them have a way to empty their pockets. Don't look at them one by one, they are reluctant to eat and wear every day, but they are much richer than the vast majority of ordinary people.

The young miner hated the two of them in his heart, but he didn't dare to resist anything, after all, both of them were soul masters, and he didn't have any soul power.

In the face of the two aggressive men, he wanted to cry without tears, but he could only obediently dig into his pocket.

They can obviously rob openly, but they still have to send a few pieces of beef, which can be regarded as charity compared to the robbers.

Smack-

A sudden loud noise erupted from the entrance of the dining hall and attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Whether it was the miners who were eating silently with their heads bowed or the two big men, they couldn't help but look at the entrance.

I saw that the two doors at the entrance of the dining hall were kicked open and rudely slammed against the wall. Then a figure slowly walked into the dining hall.

The man had blue hair, looked very young, wore sunglasses, and looked disdainful.

The two big men frowned at the same time, and the other party directly kicked open the door, obviously not taking them seriously.

The big man on the left squinted at the intruder, and lowered his voice to the other person: "It shouldn't be from our mining area, it's from outside, it's just a great soul master who is so presumptuous, do you want to teach him a lesson?" ”

The other person said cautiously: "It's time to teach a lesson, but it's better to send someone to inform Brother Nan." ”

As he spoke, he summoned Xiao Er and gave an order, and the latter immediately went upstairs.

The intruder was naturally Huo Yuhao, he put his hands in his pockets, coldly glanced around the entire canteen, and said in a contemptuous and disappointed voice: "This is where the mining area eats?" ”

Before the two big men could respond, he immediately shouted, "Are there any who will be angry?" ”

"I'm here to smash the field." The big man on the left hurriedly glanced at him, and he met the man on the right.

Seeing that they didn't care about themselves, the young miner quickly dodged to the side, but did not flee, but waited in the distance, with the others, to see what happened next.

"There are so many people eating here, don't you have eyes?" The big man on the left said coldly, "You scared everyone away, can you afford this loss?" ”

"It's a place to eat, that's right." Huo Yuhao snorted coldly, "Grandpa, I want to eat beef." ”

The big man on the left leaned forward: "The tone is not small." Beef we have is. ”

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, these two people also had Xingluo accents.

"How many of you have?"

"We have as much as you eat."

"I eat as much as I have grandpa."

The two big men glanced at each other, and they were even more sure that Huo Yuhao had come to find fault on purpose.

The big man on the left took a step forward and moved his muscles: "I'm afraid you won't be able to give that price." ”

"How much?"

"One Golden Soul Coin is a catty." Facing Huo Yuhao, Dahan doubled the price again.

Huo Yuhao sneered: "Is your beef an iron-backed cow or a black-hoofed cow, dare to sell it for a pound of gold soul coins?" ”

These two are cattle soul beasts, and the price of meat can be sold for dozens or hundreds of gold soul coins, but the price of ordinary beef is only a few copper soul coins a catty.

The big man twisted his wrist, and his joints made a soft clicking sound: "I want to eat those big restaurants that go to Mingdu." ”

"Grandpa, I have to eat beef today." Huo Yuhao ignored him and said to himself, "Three copper soul coins for a pot of rice, and three copper soul coins for a plate of vegetarian dishes." In the end, it is a mining area, but it is different, do you add gold or silver to your meals, and dare to sell it so expensive? ”

"I don't think the prices in Xingluo City and Mingdu are half as high as yours, right?"

The big man scolded: "Eat it, eat it, and if you don't eat it, get out." ”

"Dare to spread wild on our Nange's territory, I think you are tired of it."

He let out a loud shout, and two soul rings, one white and one yellow, appeared behind him, and there was a long rod in the shape of a stick in his hand.

The miners who were watching from a distance suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure and were out of breath. As ordinary people, they can't even resist the momentum of the Great Soul Master.

Huo Yuhao indifferently looked at the two-ringed man in front of him, the latter holding a stick in his hand and weighing it maliciously, and slowly moved forward.

However, just when the two were still more than ten meters apart, the big man seemed to encounter a huge force, flew backwards and crashed against the wall.

The others had no idea what was happening, but a flying shadow flashed, and the big man with the long stick was already lying on the wall, bleeding from his mouth and nose, unconscious.

The other big man had his mouth half-open, not knowing what was happening, he had already lost his center of gravity and was grabbed by Huo Yuhao and lifted him in the air.

He wanted to release the martial soul to resist, but found that his whole body could not even invoke the most basic soul power, and the other party could not move just by relying on coercion.

Only then did he realize that the intruder in front of him was not the Great Soul Master cultivation he had shown before.

Dahan swallowed his saliva hard and said, "My lord, we are operating in the mining area, and we are all allowed by Mingdu, I don't know where to provoke you, and I hope that the adults will not care about the villain." ”

"I'm just doing things under Brother Nan's orders, and I'm just cultivating the two rings, and I'm just a minion."

"Hmph, it's only two rings." Hearing his words, Huo Yuhao sneered, "Sometimes find your own reasons, okay, after so many years, has your cultivation risen or not, have you worked hard to cultivate?" ”

"It's been so many years, and you've only been cultivating this way, if you had worked hard to cultivate at the beginning, wouldn't it be Brother Nan who is doing things under your orders now?"

"It's not that you don't work hard."

Dahan only felt that his mind was blank.

He was all too familiar with that, wasn't that what he had said to the young miner earlier?

He stubbornly continued to plead: "My lord, I hope that you will raise your noble hand regardless of the villain. ”

"That doesn't seem to work, you've provoked me." Huo Yuhao said indifferently.

Dahan's heart chuckled, and his tone trembled: "My lord, I didn't want to do anything to you at all, I don't know where to provoke you." ”

"Oh......" Huo Yuhao thought silently for a moment, and said lightly, "I don't eat beef." ”

As he spoke, he exerted his right arm, and the big man also lay down by the wall like the previous one, fainting.

Before the big man passed out, he didn't understand why Huo Yuhao's refusal to eat beef could become the reason for provoking him, wasn't it that he had been yelling to eat beef before?
