Chapter 16 Up to three
The Moulin Rouge is very popular in the Thousand Curtain Cliff and is famous for its food. Seven or eight meters wide bluestone pavement, colorful flags on both sides of the road, brightly lit, all kinds of restaurants.
In the snowy weather, it still can't stop people's enthusiasm, and the tavern is full of guests. The cold wind walked in the streets and alleys, releasing his senses and searching for the location of Sanqi.
"So it's here. He stopped in front of a restaurant called Fuyuan Restaurant, shook off the residual snow on his body, and walked straight in.
In the restaurant, the lights are colorful, the lights are bright, and you can see at a glance that this is a place of high consumption. Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, I came to the private room on the second floor.
Sanqi really didn't disappoint him, he ordered a table full of dishes, and a jar of Huadiao wine was placed in the center of the table.
"You're finally here, the dishes are all ready, just waiting for you, look, I called you your favorite sheep scorpion, haha." Sanqi was full of joy, picked up a red roast duck leg, and tore it.
Sheep scorpion, brown sugar roast plate duck, slow-cooked sheep scorpion, red oil fat sausage, stir-fried lotus root tip, sauce beef, Sixi meatballs, white sugar purple potato, and a West Lake beef soup, a full eight dishes and one soup. There is also a jar of good Huadiao wine, and the price is not low.
Han Feng was helpless: "Sanqi, how can you get three or five silver coins at this table, but my salary for half a year, the territory of the Moulin Rouge, everything is expensive." ”
Unable to bear the hunger, he grabbed another red duck leg and took a big bite, his mouth was full of fragrant, fragrant and sweet, and it felt great.
Sanqi's mouth was full of oil, and he laughed out loud: "Well, in total, it is less than five silver coins, a total of 4 silver coins and 50 copper coins." That jar of flower carving wine costs two silver coins, which is very expensive. ”
"Isn't there a cheaper liquor here?"
"According to the shopkeeper, this is already the cheapest. There are even more expensive ones, which cost ten silver coins for one jar. Sanqi said.
In the Kutani Dojo, alcohol was not allowed to be private, and only the Senshogunate was qualified to operate alcohol, so the price of alcohol remained high, and ordinary people could not afford it, so they could only brew some multigrain wine at home.
When the cold wind heard it, a jar of wine cost ten silver coins, and he felt that it was unacceptable, and he muttered two sentences: "This is selling wine, it is obviously a robbery of money, a jar of old wine costs ten silver coins, I am on the edge of Tianjing Lake, and I have worked hard for a year to earn ten silver coins." It's an exaggeration, Sanqi, we still don't come to this Moulin Rouge in the future. ”
"Well, I think so too, this time I'm full of food and drink, and I won't come in the future. Sanqi drank a small bowl of beef soup, washed it with oil, and said: "You didn't come just now, the shopkeeper Xiao Er and I chatted for a long time, and recommended me to buy a jar of the most expensive wine, saying that what kind of golden cicada medicinal wine has the effect of nourishing bones and tendons, and prolonging life, so I was not fooled." ”
"What kind of golden cicada medicinal wine, what is golden cicada?"
"It is said to be a novel wild insect, which is extremely difficult to catch, and the market price of a piece is a silver coin, which is very expensive. ”
The cold wind pondered for a while, and always felt that this golden cicada was a bit famous, as long as a silver coin, it was just an insect, in the hollow valley dojo, birds and beasts were rare, flying insects and wild seeds, and in the spring season, it could be seen everywhere.
"What are you thinking, you look preoccupied, do you think I ordered too many dishes and broke the cost?" Sanqi looked at him and asked.
Han Feng shook his head and smiled knowingly: "How can there be, it's rare to come to the Thousand Curtain Cliff once, eat something good, drink something good, it's not a big deal." I'm wondering what the golden cicada looks like and why it's so expensive. Here in the Moulin Rouge, there is still a reputation, could it be said that the golden cicada is really a rare thing?"
"If you're really curious, you can order a plate of dried golden cicadas and see what is going on. Sanqi stared at him.
"Stir-fried golden cicadas, and this dish?"
"Yes, you're not very curious, the golden cicada in the golden cicada medicinal wine is estimated to have been drunk, and the hair can't be seen. In this cold winter season, the live golden cicadas are not visible. ”
"Alright then, let's take a look. The cold wind rushed to the outside of the room and called: "Shopkeeper, come here, I want to add a dish." ”
Soon, a lean shopkeeper, Xiao Er, ran over in a hurry and smiled: "Guest officer, what dish do you want to add, our most famous dish here, dry fried golden cicadas, do you want to have one, many guests who come to us are here for the golden cicadas." What we have here is a real golden cicada, one silver coin each, and six on a plate. ”
"Okay, let's have a taste and see what the new thing is, it's a silver coin each, and the price is a little more expensive. The cold wind was ruthless, and he was determined to take a look.
The shopkeeper Xiao Er laughed and explained: "This guest officer, scarcity is expensive, and the entire Moulin Rouge is the only one we can sell." If you go to another store, you won't be able to eat for more money. ”
"Then can you tell us where this golden cicada came from, we live in the Wind Realm and have never heard of this species?"
The shopkeeper lowered his voice, leaned closer, and muttered: "We don't know where it came from, only our proprietress knows, rumors say that the golden cicada was captured by the proprietress." ”
Hanfeng nodded and smiled: "Okay, it seems that you really don't know, so I have a chance to ask your boss lady for advice." “
After a while, a plate of golden dried golden cicadas was served, with a special fragrance, extremely attractive, and a refreshing feeling. The golden cicada, after oiling, has a golden yellow color like gold, and the size of a bee chrysalis.
Sanqi was taken aback: "What is this, I've really never seen it, but it smells pretty delicious." ”
"Don't rush to eat yet, let me observe. The cold wind hurriedly stopped it and held down Sanqi's raised chopsticks.
The body shape and size are similar to the bee chrysalis, and the appearance is a bit like the common spring and autumn cicadas, and the golden color is indeed unusual. The dried golden cicada is still intact, with two small claws in front, four pairs of thin feet in the back, and a pair of elytra, which are also translucent gold.
Hanfeng picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up one, put it in the mouth, instantly full of fragrant, chewing crunchy, the taste is very special, different from the greasy feeling of general pig, beef and mutton, the aroma is a bit similar to the fragrance of flowers, flowers and fruits.
"How does it taste?" Sanqi looked at it with a blank eye and swallowed several mouthfuls of water.
"It tastes okay, I seem to have eaten something. The cold wind concentrated and pondered.
Sanqi was quick-eyed, took the opportunity to pick up a golden cicada, took it in his mouth, chewed it with a rattle, and sighed: "It's really delicious, it's sweet and sweet, it's just a little smaller, and it's not strong enough to eat." ”
Han Feng's eyes were stunned, and he exclaimed: "This thing is actually a spirit worm, and there is actually a refined gold element in the body, it is really unusual, it is too strange." ”
Spirit insects and Gu insects are two completely different insects, spirit insects have spirits and can refine elements, and Gu insects are poisonous and can give birth to highly poisonous things. Gu worms and spirit insects are in a mutually reinforcing relationship. Generally speaking, where there are spirit worms, there must be Gu worms.
"What is a spirit worm?"
"Spirit insects are also rare in the cultivation realm. Han Feng explained: "The cultivators of the cultivation realm have the true yuan, and the true yuan is composed of the heavenly element, the yuan vein, and the earth element. Tian Yuan controls the elements, controls the Earth Element, and the Earth Yuan refines the elements. Spirit insects have neither a Tian Yuan nor an Earth Yuan, but they can refine the elements through a special body structure, making the elements a part of their body structure. ”
"Then what's the benefit of eating spirit worms?" said Sanqi, stumbling, picking up a golden cicada, stuffing it into his mouth, chewing it and swallowing it slowly.
"Spirit insects are excellent nutrients, and cultivators can quickly replenish their physical strength by eating spirit insects when their bodies are injured and their true yuan is in deficit. The effect is equivalent to that of high-energy protein consumed by ordinary people. If ordinary people eat spirit insects, it is also very beneficial, strengthening muscles and bones, and prolonging life. It's just that you can't eat more. “
"You can't eat more, so how many can you eat to be considered not too much?" Sanqi was neither humble nor arrogant, and picked up another one.
Hanfeng glanced at Sanqi coldly, picked up a golden cicada, and muttered in his mouth: "At most, three of them, you have already eaten three." “
Sanqi rattled and chewed, slowly, savored, glanced at the only one left on the plate, and smiled: "Can you only eat three, can't you eat more than one, why?"
"Because there are only six of them, and I bought them. The cold wind did not smile, and his face was serious.
