Chapter 9: The Cyclamen
"Not anymore. Wang Xi touched his round belly and said, "About a month ago, not long after you last came to buy something.
The city lord of Murong successfully broke through the bottleneck of the Yuan Infant Stage and became a great monk of the Transformation Stage.
Then the city lord of Murong informed his friends from all parties that in a month's time, that is, today, he was going to hold a promotion celebration, so our entire Blackwater City was very crowded today.
In addition to some cultivators who had come to congratulate the city lord, there were also many vendors from outside the city who also came to join in the fun.
Zichen, it's rare for you to catch up with this kind of day, or stay in the city tonight, I heard that there is a temple fair night market tonight, it seems that there is an acrobatic team of immortal cultivators, and there will be a performance at night. ”
"And Wang Xi said with a mysterious expression, "Maybe you can meet a few cute and beautiful girls at night." ”
The last sentence, Wang Xi said it in Bai Zichen's ear, but judging from the fact that he almost deafened Bai Zichen's ears, it didn't look like a whisper.
However, after listening to Wang Xi's words, Bai Zichen did have plans to stay in the city at night.
This is not because of what Wang Xi said about a beautiful girl at the end, the main thing is that it is already afternoon now, and when he leaves the city, it is estimated that it will be dark, and if he goes back, he will have to walk in the bamboo forest for an hour.
Anyone who lives near the forest knows that the woods during the day are different from the woods at night, and even people who are extremely familiar with the woods can get lost, and the bamboo forest is no different.
In addition, Bai Zichen is now at the age when he likes to be lively, I heard that there are temple fairs and performances, how can there be any reason not to watch it.
As for the pretty girls, it's even better if they have!
But looking at the sky, Bai Zichen couldn't help but say: "It sounds quite fun, but there are so many people in the city today, it is estimated that the hotel is already full at this time." ”
Wang Xi laughed: "Don't worry, your Uncle Wang and I have been in this Heishui City for more than ten years, and I also know several owners who are in the restaurant business, let me help you ask to see if they still have any vacant rooms." ”
Bai Zichen's eyes lit up: "Then it's troublesome Uncle Wang." ”
Wang Xi waved his hand again and again: "It's okay to say this, your family has been taking care of my business for so many years, and I have known Brother Bai for many years, this little thing is nothing."
So, I'll ask them to get something for you, and then I'll go and ask my old friends, and you'll wait here. ”
Bai Zichen hurriedly agreed, Wang Xi handed Bai Zichen's list to a guy, and asked Bai Zichen to serve some tea and pastries, and then turned around and went out.
Wang Xi's work efficiency is very fast, but after a cup of tea, he came back from outside.
Bai Zichen hurriedly greeted him: "Uncle Wang, you are back so soon!"
Wang Xi looked at Xiao Bai, who was blazing on a plate of white pastries on the table next to him, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid that if I don't come back soon, this little guy will eat everything I can eat in the store." ”
When Bai Zichen heard this, he couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment, grabbed Xiaobai's neck, and lifted it up.
When he felt that he was being grabbed by Bai Zichen, Xiao Bai hurriedly used his hands and feet again, and stuffed all the remaining pastries on the plate into his mouth.
Looking at Xiaobai, who stuffed himself like a hamster, Bai Zichen couldn't help but cry out in shame, and quickly changed the topic: "Uncle Wang, how is it, is there still an empty room?" ”
Wang Xi said: "Don't worry, I just found a friend who does restaurant business, he also has an upper room, but the price is a bit high, you need five silver coins to live a day, but for my sake, he promised to only accept you three silver coins." ”
You must know that in Blackwater City, the cost of an ordinary family of three for a month may be four or five silver coins, and a night in a hotel costs five silver coins, which is obviously very high.
However, Bai Zichen didn't care very much, although Bai Han left only seven spirit stones for Bai Zichen, there were really a lot of gold and silver coins.
"Thank you Uncle Wang, let's live here. ”
Just when Wang Xi went out to run errands, the guy had already prepared the things Bai Zichen bought, and after settling the accounts with Wang Xi and letting Xiaobai receive the things to the space bell, Wang Xi took Bai Zichen to the restaurant.
The restaurant is not far from Wang's old store, and after turning two streets, a richly decorated building appears in front of you.
'Cyclamen'
The largest restaurant in Blackwater.
Bai Zichen was slightly stunned: "Uncle Wang, the restaurant you are talking about can't be this cyclamen." ”
Wang Xi laughed: "How about it, it's worthy of the identity of the little white boy." ”
Wang Xi's words were obviously said to Bai Zichen, but as soon as Xiao Bai, who was lying on Bai Zichen's shoulder, heard the words of Xiao Bai Gongzi, he immediately stood up, raised his fluffy little brain, and nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at Xiaobai's funny appearance, Bai Zichen couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
"Uncle Wang, I've heard that this cyclamen is the most luxurious restaurant in Blackwater City, how can you get ten silver coins for one night, these three silver coins...... Is there a mistake?"
Wang Xi touched his big belly and said proudly: "Don't worry, the boss here is my friend for many years, and it's nothing to give you a cost price." ”
After speaking, Wang Xi walked towards the gate of the cyclamen, and Bai Zichen had to follow when he saw this.
Cyclamen is known as the largest restaurant in the entire Blackwater City, with a nine-story building and the tallest building in Blackwater City except for the City Lord's Mansion.
The whole body is dominated by red and gold, and there are four beautiful girls in palace costumes standing at the door, who are cute, luxurious, gentle, and cold and glamorous, but without exception, they are all immortal powerhouses in the foundation building period.
After seeing Wang Xi and Bai Zichen, one of the girls with a gentle and touching temperament hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Shopkeeper Wang, you are here, Shopkeeper Li is waiting for you in the lobby." ”
The woman's voice was like a spring breeze, which made people feel very comfortable to listen to, and after speaking, she also gave Bai Zichen a slight salute, and did not despise Bai Zichen because he was only a cultivator in the refining period.
Wang Xi laughed, answered, and then walked towards the restaurant with Bai Zichen.
The interior decoration of the restaurant can be described by the word luxury, the hall on the first floor is eight meters high, and four red columns stand in the four directions of the main hall, and the columns have the reliefs of the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the four holy beasts of Xuanwu.
Especially the white tiger relief, Bai Zichen felt that it was very similar to the image of the tiger on his white jade plate, but the white tiger on this cylinder had no wings.
As soon as the two of them entered the hall, they were greeted by a long-faced middle-aged man with a thin figure and a long black robe.
"Yo, Wang Fatzi, you're quite fast, this is the little brother you said?"
Bai Zichen saw the tall and thin man looking at him, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Junior Bai Zichen, trouble Shopkeeper Li." ”
Before coming in, Wang Xi had already told Bai Zichen that the shopkeeper of this cyclamen was named Li Bei, and he had been his friend for many years.
Li Bei immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be so restrained, I heard Wang Fatzi say that you have known each other for many years, and you have always called him Uncle Wang, I am a very good brother with Wang Fatzi, and his descendants are also my descendants, so you will call me Uncle Li in the future." ”
Li Bei patted Bai Zichen's shoulder, smiled, and said what he just said to Bai Zichen in a kind tone, but his obviously friendly expression was matched with that big long face and a pair of invisible beanie eyes, how did Bai Zichen look at it and feel weird.
However, Wang Xi was obviously surprised by Li Bei's expression for a long time: "That's Zichen, don't be polite to him, Li Changmian, is the room ready." ”
Li Bei was not annoyed when he heard Wang Xi call him Li Chang's face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've been ready for a long time, come up with me." ”
After speaking, Li Bei turned around and walked towards the stairs, and Wang Xi and Bai Zichen also hurriedly followed.
There are a total of nine floors of cyclamen, the higher the floor, the fewer the number of rooms, and the higher the price, for this point, Bai Zichen has only heard about it briefly, and he doesn't know much about it.
But even so, when Li Bei took the two of them to the ninth layer, Bai Zichen was still shocked enough
"Uncle Li, are you sure this is three silver coins a night?" Bai Zichen asked with some uncertainty, thinking that these two goods could not be wronged.
Li Bei laughed: "Don't worry, Zichen, I won't use this cyclamen to pit you as a child with the signboard of the first restaurant in Blackwater City."
I'm originally a fat man, so I don't need money, anyway, this room has been empty and no one lives in it recently.
But Wang Fatzi said that if I don't charge you money, I guess you won't be able to live, so I'll charge you a cost price, three silver coins. ”
Bai Zichen hurriedly said: "That's Uncle Li, I can't let you lose money if I come to trouble you, these are three silver coins, for you." ”
As he spoke, Bai Zichen took out three silver coins from his arms and handed them to Li Bei.
However, Bai Zichen didn't see that when the three of them talked about the house price, the eyes of the two beautiful waitresses who followed behind them were so wide that their eyeballs were about to fall out.
Li Bei took the silver coin, and then took Bai Zichen to push open the door of a room with a wooden sign with the words "Xiansan" hanging at the door, and led Bai Zichen into the room.
At the same time, near a flower bed not far from the back door of the cyclamen, there was a young man dressed in a fine costume, who looked like the rich son of the family.
But at this time, this person was squatting on the top of the flower bed with tears in his eyes, looking at the cyclamen not far away, and thought aggrievedly: "Why don't you let this fairy No. 3 room live." ”
This is an old man with a red armband on his arm, who waved his hand and said in a pure Blackwater City dialect: "Borrowing from someone's doll, is that Tan Sang like a squatting place?
