Chapter Twenty-Nine: Selling Sweet Potatoes

In the dark space, an altar floated quietly, and a slight female voice sounded, ethereal and not like the sound of the world.

"The wolf of this life...... What kind of wind and waves will this world turn upside down? ”

Rumble!

Chen Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and was pushed out of the jade pendant by a powerful force. He hurriedly picked up the jade pendant and looked at it, and the faint purple qi inside had disappeared. It is the opposite of the vision that Yu Pei appeared when he first saw Shi Niang. He sighed, remembered the Qi Refining Realm Sword Technique stored in his heart, and then opened the small wooden box guarded by the pillow, and saw that there was nothing in it, only then did he be convinced that everything that happened just now was not a dream, and for a long time, he could not get the blessing of Shi Niang, and his biggest and biggest hole card disappeared.

You have to get stronger quickly. Only when this goal is achieved can we protect ourselves and deal with all kinds of troubles for a long, long time in the future, on that long, long road.

There are two ways for him to quickly improve his strength now, one is for his divine soul to sneak into the jade pendant to compete with the remnant consciousness of the Snake Emperor. However, he is not as brave and unparalleled as Wu Deyang when he was young, and he does not have the powerful soul power of Shi Niang, so he naturally does not dare to break in rashly. He remembered the glimpse he had just had in that dark space, and the majesty and fear that he felt in the form of the Snake Emperor's remnant consciousness were still vivid. Although he was surrendered by Shi Niang with a raised hand, the spirit bead is an existence that has been cultivated for countless years. If he goes into battle alone with the Snake Emperor, I'm afraid he will be killed in seconds when he meets.

He secretly complained, it was really as the master said, it was difficult to reach the sky...

Therefore, there is only one way in front of us at present, to comprehend the sword technique and improve the Qi Refining Realm.

Come to think of it, if you continue to raise your realm, and when the realm rises, your divine soul will naturally be enhanced to a certain extent, and then it will be much easier to go back and kill the big snake in the jade pendant.

Although he arranged it in his heart, once he remembered that he had a huge treasure on his body and he couldn't touch it and couldn't get it, he felt itchy in his heart, if there was any chance, he still wanted to try to fight with the big snake, although it was not that people died for money, birds died for food, but as a husband with strong blood, he must dare to do it, in order to do something.

I just thought about it, and when I came back to my senses and looked out the window, it was already evening when the twilight rose. Suddenly feeling empty in his stomach, Chen Fengcai showed a bitter face.

"Why didn't that girl Qingluan bring me food, this martial arts, after the business is negotiated, I won't do any superficial work, right? "However, I can't bear the hunger, so I have to go out and find something to eat.

He wanted to go to the kitchen of the Martial Mansion first, and if it was already past lunch time, he would go to the streets of Feiyun City to find something to eat.

Although this Feiyun City is not big, the traditional atmosphere in the city is quite strong, although all kinds of things are not available, but the food is still dazzling. The reason is probably that the residents of Feiyun City come from a wide range of places, and the hometowns of the veterans are all over the world, and after moving to Feiyun City to live, those who still remember the traditional food practices at home are difficult to control because of homesickness and hesitation to reproduce according to the taste in their memory, plus the memory is long and there are many deviations, and the taste of the local aborigines of Feiyun City is integrated, and it has become a wonderful taste of the border land.

Sauce Duck is one of the best, it is said that a lieutenant who was particularly fond of delving into food before joining the war introduced Feiyun Castle and then improved it, and even the world's most noble prince praised it, so you can imagine how delicious it is. But it is precisely because the recipe is widely spread, there is a saying in Feiyun City that "a thousand households have a thousand sauced ducks", although the ducks made by the skillful housewives of each family are generally similar, but what is the difference between those who like this bite and those who can eat it. There used to be a Central Plains gourmand from outside the city, specializing in duck eating, I have long heard that the sauce duck of Feiyun City is known all over the world, and specially came to taste the flavor from thousands of miles away, and after entering the city, he ate in various restaurants and even in every household, and only waved his hand when he went out of the city, "although they are all Feiyun sauce duck, but the taste is different, and it is difficult to distinguish between them." Later, he wrote a book for the famous dishes of Feiyun City, called "The Legend of a Thousand Ducks", which was widely circulated in the food world of Dachu, and "Feiyun Sauce Duck" was even more famous, and the number of people who came to visit it was countless, but it attracted a lot of business for the restaurants and taverns in Feiyun City.

However, Chen Feng and Qingluan went to the street early in the morning, just in time for the residents of Feiyun City who were happy to join in the excitement and watch the fight, and went to the school to catch the crowd, so most of the shops selling food on the street were not open, and the small vendors were gone. Chen Feng heard Qingluan say that Feiyun Sauce Duck is a strange flower, too gorgeous, so that people only know this thing when they mention Feiyun City, but ignore the demeanor of other delicacies. Even if the food in Feiyun City is not as delicious as the sauce duck, it is definitely unique, and you must eat it before you leave.

Chen Feng was coveted by this little tour guide at that time, but it was a pity that he failed to do so that day. Thinking of this, he was about to go to the kitchen on tiptoe, striding towards the door, and his heart was overflowing with joy.

Out of the vermilion gate of Wufu, Chen Feng didn't know where to go was the most lively place in the Feiyun City Night Market, so he had to walk in one direction casually, following the bustling crowd flow, and finally going to the most lively sea of people, where his hungry stomach could be satisfied. Chen Feng thought so, and Mei Zizi looked left and right on the road.

Walking straight out of the Martial Mansion, Chen Feng suddenly realized two big problems.

I don't know the way.

Also, I don't have any money!!

He has been a law-abiding child of a good family since he was a child, and it is definitely not okay to eat and rob. He looked bitter, and he went back to the Wufu Mansion to get the money and then came out, I'm afraid that his heart will be so hungry that he will stick to his back.

Covering his face with his hands, feeling the sound of gurgling in his stomach, he wanted to cry without tears,

It is said that when cultivating to a certain level, one can reach the wonderful realm of Bigu, which is the great supernatural power of the body and soul sublimation to a certain extent. Flesh and blood no longer need the sporadic power in the food, and instead completely consume the aura, there is no need to eat the fireworks of the world. In fact, after the completion of qi refining, the amount of food required by the body will become smaller and smaller, and a strong man who has to eat one pound of rice at a meal, if the refining is completed, it will slowly decrease to eight taels, and then with the gradual improvement of the realm, it will gradually decrease. It's not that you don't want to eat it, but when the body no longer needs this kind of thing, the brain will naturally reduce its desire for this purpose. However, appetite does not decrease uniformly with the successive ascensions of the realm, the smaller the amount of food, the higher the realm, and the less it decreases with each ascension of the realm. Therefore, it was probably not until the middle and late stages of Ning Yuan that some kind of wonderful changes occurred in the cultivator's body, and the demand for food would slowly disappear, because everyone's demand for food was already high and low.

But what does that have to do with Chen Feng? Now he is really hungry! Does he eat a lot? The answer is yes, Chen Feng has been active since he was a child, and he either catches frogs in the pond or climbs trees to catch cicadas all day long, and his head is flustered, and he always walks in a hurry, and naturally consumes much more energy than ordinary children. This makes him have the amount of food for sixteen or seventeen-year-old children when he is nine or ten years old, which may be one of the reasons why he has grown so tall.

The heart was empty and felt hungry, and the body involuntarily drifted away with the smell of barbecue. There are fewer and fewer things to think about in my head, and in the end, all that is left is the fantasy of the sizzling barbecue. He was in a daze for a quarter of an hour, but was suddenly awakened by the sound of a quarrel.

"I don't have long eyes, do I, I want to sell sweet potatoes all night, and you just hit them all out of the stall, and roll around on this dirty ground, who wants to buy them?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Chen Feng followed the sound and walked over, and saw a group of people watching the excitement around, so he squeezed in on tiptoe, and finally squeezed into the circle with great effort.

The voice was arrogant, and it was a big man with a big scar on his face, and the first impression was that he was either a pawn or a bandit, but this person was a sweet potato seller? This made Chen Feng a little confused.

And the other person in the dispute, Chen Feng, actually knew.

Wang Sledgehammer!

He was secretly surprised in his heart, this Feiyun City was really small, and he could meet him when he wandered around.

At this time, the weak Wang Dazhui only apologized, and the strong man was condescending, his eyes were arrogant and unreasonable, giving people the illusion of "you must obey me".

This Wang Sledgehammer gave Chen Feng a bad feeling before, at this moment he didn't want to stand up immediately, ready to wait and see the changes first, if this Wang Sledgehammer encountered a danger to his life and was to be broken by this big man, it would not be too late for him to stop it.

Thinking like this, he took a step back from the crowd, most of the residents of Feiyun City were present when he beat Li Changgeng a few days ago, he didn't want to be recognized on the street, and some trouble was born out of thin air.

But the good thing is that people are paying attention to the development of events in the field, and no one is exclaiming at the moment, "Yo, this is not the eldest son-in-law of the Martial Mansion". He has always liked to be quiet, and of course it is better that such things do not happen.

He took a step back, allowing his body to be blocked by the two tall melon-eating crowds in front of him, bowing his head slightly to bury his facial features in the shadows, and his eyes were also carefully staring at the two people with exaggerated body differences.

Wang Dazhui just apologized, and he came out tonight to encounter this incident, because the chili peppers in the back kitchen were eaten, and he wanted to come out to buy chili peppers, plus Sister Zhou, a maid in her thirties, asked him to go out a few days ago to help him bring some rouge gouache when he came out to purchase goods, and he didn't have time, so he came out tonight and did it together. Unexpectedly, I didn't buy chili peppers, nor did I buy rouge gouache, but I bumped into this big man first, and almost didn't knock my body bones apart. When he came back to his senses in a daze, he was instantly dumbfounded when he saw the bearded man standing in front of him like a god.

"It's over tonight"

There is only this one sentence in his heart, one is that he can't beat him - he doesn't seem to be able to beat anyone, and if he can't keep it, he will be picked up and beaten by this big man. This is actually okay, you can apply with the steward later, at most you can stuff some money and let him record his work injury, not only to reimburse the cost of soup and medicine, but also to rest for a few days during the recuperation period. But the most terrible thing is that if this big man wants to make himself lose money, relying on his own reasoning, he probably wants the lion to open his mouth, and his meager salary plans to save some food for Qingluan to buy some food or beautiful small objects to please her, so there will be no fun.

Moreover, I didn't bring extra money when I came out today, and the account room was all calculated with the chili silver allocated to herself, and Sister Zhou was even more careful in her calculations, and she was naturally familiar with the price of rouge gouache she commonly used, and she would not give herself more than a copper plate.

Therefore, once a piece of meat is bitten off by this man, he will not be able to complete his private affairs, and he will return to the house to designate no good fruit to eat.

He wept and looked at the man's arms, which were much thicker than his thighs.

"That's it!" the man spoke, his voice as rough as his size, "I, Xu Gang, am not an unreasonable character, after all, I have been a stormtrooper in the barracks for a few years, so I naturally abide by military law and military discipline, one sweet potato, twenty copper plates, today's affairs, the past is not to blame!"

"Twenty ......"

The crowd whispered, the market price of this sweet potato is up to five copper plates, or buy that kind of extremely sweet sweet potato, this man opened his mouth to twenty, and there is no doubt that it is a lion's big mouth.

Wang Dazhui also knew the things that the crowd was talking about, and his face became even more ugly.

"Can you... Less, you have a large number of adults, and the small ones are just miscellaneous slaves, and their monthly wages only happen to be enough to spend, and there is really no money to spare. ”

"Hmph! I see that you are better dressed than me, and you dare to cry poor here, and you are much richer than us ordinary people in a big family, but no matter what kind of big family you are, it hurts my business, I want money for granted, and no one can overturn this reason, but since you are so good at talking, then I will give you a little less......"

"Thirty!"

The crowd sighed, and they were quite disdainful of this man's shamelessness. However, since this man dares to speak, he is naturally not afraid of people's white eyes and is aggressive.

"That's... That little one will be given to you another day, I have something important to do today, and I really don't have any extra money on me......"

"That's not good, it's up to you to take the money or not if you leave, you were caught by me here today, it's me who has the final say, hurry up, give the money!"

"Eh, you say you don't have any money, so what are you covering?"

When Dahan saw Wang Dazhui covering the burden behind him, he was about to make a move, and Wang Dazhui shouted.

If the big man came to break his own hands, he might break the bones and cripple himself in one fell swoop.

"Ah!!h

He doesn't want to be crippled, and after being crippled, isn't it even more impossible for Qingluan to like himself......

"Wait!" Chen Feng was about to make a move, but he heard this shout. Stopped and looked towards where the voice was coming from.

The crowd was also silenced by this voice, and they all looked for who dared to touch the moldy head of this "street fighter" so desperately.

The man who shouted this seemed to be about to squeeze in from outside the bustling crowd, so the people parted ways for him, and a man who was about as thin as Wang Dazhui was slammed by the people, and his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell into the field.

Chen Feng's eyes widened and he couldn't speak.

"That'..... The Taoist of that day?" he exclaimed in his heart.

The emaciated man was dressed in an extremely wide robe, and his hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, but it still looked unkempt. At this time, he held a wine gourd in his hand, the stopper opened, and it gurgled to the ground after he fell.

It turns out that it's not that the center of gravity is unstable, but that I'm drunk...

Chen Feng was a little embarrassed.

The Taoist priest realized that he had spilled the wine, and his groggy head seemed to sober up a lot, and he hurriedly plugged his wine gourd stopper, and even wanted to stretch out his mouth to suck the wine on the ground. But although he was drunk, he still knew some shame, and there were too many people around him to do that.

His small movements were seen by Chen Feng, a little helpless, and he immediately did not doubt at all, if there was no one around, this person would definitely inhale all the wine on the ground into his mouth without leaking.

"Drunkard Taoist, it's a bit interesting, what's the matter, you want to help him pay for my sweet potatoes?" the man sneered, with some displeasure in his eyes.

"No, no, no," the Taoist priest wanted to hang the wine gourd on his waist, but after a few tries, he didn't hang it up, it seemed that he was really a little drunk, he rubbed his eyebrows, "I want to reason for him." ”

The man rushed to the Taoist priest in one step, and lifted him up by the collar of the Taoist priest, as easily as lifting a chicken.

"Dead Taoist, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, keep your good body and drink more wine!" the man gritted his teeth.

"When encountering injustices, Xiaodao naturally has to take care of it, can the strong man let Xiaodao come down first and let Xiaodao sort out the matter for the two. He burped, which made the man frown, and because of the eyes of the people around him, the man put him down.

"If my business is broken, I will lose money, just like paying off debts, what is there to say. ”

The Taoist priest smiled slightly:

"First, the two of you collided accidentally, and there is no suspicion of deliberately touching porcelain, right?"

The Taoist priest looked at the two.

Wang Dazhui nodded hurriedly, where did he dare to touch the porcelain of this fierce god.

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes! So what's the matter?" ”

"Then according to your Dachu law, you should each compensate each other for your losses, then this little brother will tell me, how much will your medical expenses cost. ”

Wang Da Hammer hesitated: "A few days ago, Xiao Zhang, who was watching the stable, was kicked by a horse and injured, and it took more than 500 yuan to find a doctor before and after, plus the cost of decoction and medicine. ”

"This little brother was hit by you and couldn't stand up, compared to the horse's kick injury, it is only serious, even if he spends 500 yuan for medical expenses, and your precious sweet potato is 30 yuan, a total of 12 fell to the ground, that is, 360 yuan, counting, you have to compensate this little brother 140 yuan. The Taoist priest looked at the man with a smile in his eyes.

Chen Fengdao was shocked by the cleverness of this Taoist priest and smiled slightly.

"I'm wrong, my sweet potato is... It's a hundred wen a piece!"

There was a louder sigh from the crowd.

"It's not a man's demeanor to sit on the ground and raise the price, let alone a person like you who was born in the army?" the Taoist priest laughed, "Your sweet potato is also quite big, and it sells for five cents at most, everyone says yes!" he asked the crowd around him.

"Yes!"

"That's it!"

The crowd was noisy, and everyone was originally biased towards the weak Wang Da Hammer, which made the man's face quite unbearable. But he still yelled with a red face: "I don't care, I can't sell it, you have to pay me money!"

Chen Feng laughed and walked out of the crowd.

"I'll help you sell it!"

......
