North Continent, perennial snow.

Jiang Qingyu and their current location is the Huaishui of Beizhou, the junction of Beizhou and Yunjing.

The terrain here is gentle, there are few mountains and rivers, and the fertile fields are thousands of acres, which is full of vitality, which forms a strong contrast with the majestic snow-capped mountains in the distance.

"Fellow Daoists, please stay - it's forbidden for Edgeworth to fly ahead!"

As soon as he arrived in the sky outside Huaishui, a man in a gray robe caught up with Bai Xun and forcibly stopped the two who were about to enter the city.

Bai Xun controlled the demon snow to descend on the section of the road one mile away from Huaishui, and the gray man in the robe followed closely behind.

After the two sides stood still, Jiang Qingyu began to look at the Taoist priest who looked weak on the opposite side, it should be that Bai Xun's flying speed was too fast, and he suffered a little when he chased him, which made the man's face turn blue and white, obviously tired.

I rummaged through the savings bracelet, found a brand new cup filled with the herbal tea I brought when I left Yunjing, and handed it to him: "You still ...... All right? "It looks like it's about to die.

Jiang Qingyu didn't say the second half of the sentence, otherwise it would be very impolite.

"Ah...... Yes? Thank you, thank you! The Taoist priest was flattered, looked at the beautiful girl who was less than a meter away from him, his face turned red, he took it with both hands, and after stammering thanks, he took a small sip.

Seeing that the Taoist priest's face improved, Jiang Qingyu didn't say anything more, and retreated to Bai Xun's side to stand up.

"Xiaodao's surname is Li, his name is Hyun, the word is chess, thank you for the girl's gift of water!" He held the water, his sleeves were breezy, and he made a Taoist salute, and the embarrassment just now had eased, and he spoke modestly and politely.

"No thanks."

Li Xun smiled lightly and explained: "The reason why the two of them were stopped was because the lord of Huaishui City had an order that he was not allowed to enter the city, otherwise he would be detained according to the severity of the fine. ”

Jiang Qingyu has always been polite to polite people, and Bai Xun doesn't like to negotiate in front of outsiders, so Jiang Qingyu has to take care of these superficial words.

"It's the first time we've come to Huaishui, I don't know there are such rules, if it's not for Daoyou, your wallet will suffer, and I should thank you for it!"

"The two of you are going to the city, unfortunately, it's also down there, since you want to thank you, why don't you have a meal next?" Li Hyun is not outstanding in appearance, and he will not be conspicuous in the crowd, but he smiles, a pear vortex at the corner of his mouth, and his white skin, which looks clean and well-behaved.

After speaking, as if he was afraid of offense, the thin red that had just disappeared climbed up his cheeks again, and he added shyly: "I met a pair of disabled mothers and children begging on the road, and the master said that he wanted to help the weak, and now he is shy, and it is a ...... to be able to rub a meal."

……

In the downtown Huaishui market, a roadside stall selling noodle soup has a few diners sitting on the stall.

The air in Beizhou was filled with coldness, and Jiang Qingyu exhaled a breath of hot air, which instantly turned into a cloud of white mist.

The owner of the stall is a spicy-looking but enthusiastic lady, as soon as she saw the three people coming around, she immediately put down the kitchen knife in her hand and greeted: "What do you want to eat?" ”

"We first arrived in Beizhou, I don't know if you have a recommendation?" Jiang Qingyu gave the choice to Li Hyun.

"Hmm...... In this case, you might as well try the barley noodles, which are characteristic of Beizhou, and the taste is different from the usual pasta, but it is fragrant and refreshing. Li Xun thought for two seconds and said to Jiang Qingyu and Bai Xun.

"This Taoist is right! If you want to talk about the characteristics, our Beizhou is none other than this barley noodles! That's right, I guarantee you two~ I still want to eat after eating! ”

"Then I'll bother the proprietress to order us three bowls of barley noodles!"

"The little lady is polite, there are a total of thirty low-grade spirit stones!" The eldest lady quickly boiled the soup, mixed with water and noodles, and her movements were skillful, and she looked like a veteran who had been doing it for decades.

After paying, the three of them randomly picked a seat and sat down.

Huaishui can only be regarded as a county seat in Beizhou, and there is no comparison with the main city, but that is in the past, since the Yunjing Luo family developed their business to Huaishui, it has become a new atmosphere here.

In addition, Huaishui is the only way to go to the secluded world, coming and going, like a large post station, the Luo family is only a little traction in it, and the local economy is driven.

The barley of the barley noodles and the silk thread of the floating brocade are exported from here.

Huaishui is vast and sparsely populated, the most suitable for planting and breeding, merchants from all over the North Continent contract plots and industries, developed by the locals, they only need to sit at home, the goods will be packed by special people to sell the place.

Huaishui City can be seen at a glance, and the two streets lead directly to the north, south, east and west, forming a cross.

"Recently, there are fewer and fewer people coming to Huaishui, and it is not as lively as before." Li Xun saw that Jiang Qingyu had been looking around, and couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, there are fewer and fewer people entering the city, and business is getting worse and worse, if it goes on like this, sooner or later you will have to close the stalls......" Jiang Qingyu didn't reply, but the eldest lady who was below said a few words with a complaint.

Regarding Huaishui, it has been rumored to be boiling recently, and the floating brocade is still moldy, and the rotten skin is worn, and the howl that is famous for the floating light on the brocade has been wiped clean.

Nowadays, there is a problem with Fuguangjin, and as a raw material supply, it is naturally inseparable, and Huaishui's reputation has stinked for two miles.

After coming and going, the flow of people in Huaishui decreased, and merchants and hawkers had to suffer.

After a while, the eldest lady brought three bowls of barley noodles to the table one by one, there was no resentment and sadness on her face, and she took chopsticks and spoons for Jiang Qingyu with a smile, and did not forget to remind: "The best of this barley noodles is in this soup, you have to take advantage of it!" ”

"Okay!" Li Xun hurriedly got up, half-rolled up his sleeves, revealing a powerful arm, and helped to take it, and those who passed by couldn't help but praise a good five-good young man with good roots.

Jiang Qingyu's eyes couldn't stop at the place where Li Xun's arms and sleeves met for a while, and then crossed over, his eyes suddenly intersected with Li Xun, seeing him calmly put down his sleeves, the strange look in his eyes did not show half a point, his eyes smiled into two crescents, and he thanked the eldest lady crisply: "Thank you, aunt!" ”

"Thank you, auntie." Bai Xun maintains the formation.

The barley noodles are light, with two green cabbage leaves covered with noodles and a fried golden egg, but the smell is full of aroma.

Jiang Qingyu was very keen on food, and couldn't resist the temptation of gluttonous insects, so he took the first bite to taste, his eyes lit up, and he inhaled the storm without raising his head.

Don't look at this noodle, the clear soup is low in water, and you can't see a little meat, but it actually tastes unique.

"The land in Beizhou is cold, many crops can not be planted, the barley is cold-resistant, it is the main food here, a hundred years ago natural disasters, blizzards closed the continent, and many people live on barley."

Li Hyun picked up a chopstick of steaming noodles, blew off the hot air, put it into his mouth, took a bite of it, his eyes were in a trance, and he smiled wistfully: "Auntie's craftsmanship is the second best I have ever eaten barley noodles." ”

Jiang Qingyu and Bai Xun stopped eating noodles at the same time, looked up at the busy eldest lady, and turned their eyes to Li Xun who was talking.

He frowned slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was bitter, "The first is my sister, but unfortunately, I can't eat it anymore." ”

In Li Hyun's eyes, there was nothing, and across the bowl of noodles, Jiang Qingyu seemed to see a girl with a similar face to Li Hyun, wearing a pink dress and a skirt, smiling smartly.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xun had already collected his emotions, and said with a relieved smile: "Alas, that's it, what are you doing here, why don't you talk about what the two Taoist friends came to Beizhou to say?" ”
