When Tang Chen arrived, there were already many people gathered in the lobby on the first floor of Shunfeng Building. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Boss Niu of Deyue Tower stood in the center of the lobby with a sneering look on his face, and two boxes covered with black cloth were placed at his feet. Shopkeeper Hong's face turned red, and he stood aside with his hands down, looking angry and helpless, and Ma Biao, the owner of Shunfeng Building, who rarely took care of specific affairs, sat on a chair, and his face was quite ugly.

Tang Chen came out of it, just in the sight of Boss Niu.

Boss Niu didn't smile with a fat face, and said, "Yo, the refiner of Shunfeng Building is finally willing to come out." Speaking of which, I was the first diner to taste this master's craftsmanship, and I still have a lot of memories of the last spiritual food... No, I finally got two ingredients, so I came over in a hurry, and I believe that this master will not let me down. ”

Without waiting for Tang Chen to speak, Ma Biao spoke first: "Boss Niu, I think I have made it very clear just now, whether you can take these two ingredients or not, you have to let the refiner see it." ”

"It's not right for Boss Ma to say this, Shunfeng Building is the first restaurant in Dongtai, and the newly invited master is recognized by everyone as the best refiner in Dongtai recently. ”

Ma Biao frowned and said unhappily: "Although my Shunfeng Building accepts the processing commission, the refining is broad and profound, and the masters of the refining building in the city are only a few, if these two things are too rare, the refining building in the city may not be able to accept them, let alone my small Shunfeng Building." Master Tang, take a look at Boss Niu's ingredients and see if you can take it. ”

After speaking, Ma Biao gave Tang Chen a vague look.

Shopkeeper Hong also came over and reminded softly: "Those who come are not good, do what you can." ”

Tang Chen bowed his head silently.

The current situation is not difficult to guess, most likely because the boss Niu came to find fault again and deliberately brought ingredients to embarrass Shunfeng Lou. Since the other party deliberately came to find trouble, the things under the black cloth will naturally not be ordinary ingredients, Ma Biao said the words in front first, hoping that Tang Chen would not take the commission lightly, so as not to leave more truth.

The fat man didn't say much, and directly uncovered the two black cloths, and under the black cloths were two iron buckets.

In a bucket there was a large round fish swimming leisurely, with an oval body, a blunt front and a tapering tail, like a blown ball. The fish has spots on its body, its snout is short and obtuse, its mouth is not large, and its upper and lower jaws have two plate-like incisors with a distinct median seam. The lip is well developed, and the ends of the lower lip are curved upwards on the outside of the upper lip. The eyes are small, the gill aperture is small, it is an arc-shaped fissure, located in front of the pectoral fin, and the body surface is densely covered with small spines. The dorsal fin is very posterior, opposite the anal fin, without pelvic fin, and the posterior end of the caudal fin is flat.

In the other bucket, there is a turtle. The crust is crusty in color, and the limbs and short tail are mostly shrunk in the shell, and the turtle's shell and limbs appear to lack moisture and adhere to the dry soil. Perhaps because the black cloth was suddenly uncovered and the light changed suddenly, the turtle's head was slowly sticking out, looking around curiously, and it was cute and cute.

"Big pufferfish!"

"Rock Turtle!"

"God, it's a big puffer fish and a rock turtle!"

Someone in the crowd of onlookers reported that they were about to come out, causing a commotion.

Boss Niu's face was pale, but he pretended to be calm, and the faces of Ma Biao and Shopkeeper Hong suddenly turned blue.

Ma Biao's eyes narrowed, and he said angrily: "Niu Fatty! You still say that you are not here to find fault?"

Boss Niu saw Ma Biao turn his face, and sneered at each other: "I took the ingredients to your Shunfeng Building for processing, but you Ma Dazui said that I was looking for fault? ”

Ma Biao laughed angrily: "Since you are a fat man who wants to take advantage of your tongue, I will talk to you in front of everyone today to see if I am not considerate of the guests in Shunfeng Building, or you have to deliberately provoke Yuelou." ”

"Puffer fish meat is said to be tender and delicious, very delicious, but puffer fish meat is highly poisonous, a little careless will poison people, the big puffer fish as a second-grade spirit animal, the toxicity is far more violent than ordinary puffer fish, and it is more troublesome to remove the toxicity... In the early years, due to the consumption of large puffer fish caused by the death of incidents occurred repeatedly, in order to avoid more people from eating and suffering by mistake, various places have organized manpower to concentrate on killing and destroying large pufferfish, the big puffer fish in the river was almost killed, and occasionally caught fish, the refining building in the city easily did not accept the processing commission of the large pufferfish... Boss Niu has good skills, he can find a big pufferfish, admire and admire!"

"Let's talk about the rock turtle. The rock turtle is very strange, according to the traditional turtle and turtle refining method, the spiritual power of the refined spiritual food is extremely low, it is obviously a second-grade spirit animal, but it is difficult to refine even the first-grade spiritual food, and the refiners everywhere want to find the method of refining the rock turtle, but no one has succeeded so far. ”

"My Shunfeng Building's business is mainly based on ordinary wine and food, supplemented by spiritual food, and there is only one refiner hired by the refiner, which is not as good as the refining building in the city that specializes in providing spiritual food. You, Boss Niu, took these two ingredients that the Refining House may not be able to accept to Shunfeng Building, but said that I was not hospitable...... Hehe, I want to ask you, if I accept your commission, do you dare to eat the big puffer fish meat that I made?"

After Ma Biao finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and some people began to point their fingers, muttering that the cow boss was not.

was ruthlessly exposed by Ma Biao in public, Boss Niu's face was red and blue for a while, but he didn't give up, and snorted coldly: "Boss Ma is really knowledgeable, but you are not a refiner after all." Although this big puffer fish is poisonous, after all, there is a precedent for successful refining, as long as you are careful, it is not difficult to refine a suitable spiritual food; ”

"Besides, you and I have said before, whether Shunfeng Lou dares to accept the commission, you have to ask the refiner. Now that the refiner hasn't spoken, Boss Ma categorically refused, isn't there something wrong?"

Ma Biao and Shopkeeper Hong glanced at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's hearts.

Shunfeng Lou and Deyue Lou are the top two restaurants in Dongtai, and the competition has always been fierce, but everyone is a decent person, and they have at least maintained a superficial harmony. Some time ago, Boss Niu repeatedly went to Shunfeng Building to find fault with it, and Ma Biao also said that Boss Niu was nervous and didn't care too much, but today is no longer a matter of deliberately making things difficult, but it seems to be a long-planned provocation. Thinking of what the other party said just now, someone knew the refining method of the big puffer fish and the rock turtle, and Ma Biao's heart was even more worried.

Sure enough, the one who came was not good!

Just as Ma Biao was thinking hard about countermeasures, a chuckle came from his ears, and someone said casually: "If you don't even dare to take the simplest food processing, this Shunfeng Building... Just get out of Dongtai Town. ”

The sound is not loud, and there are many noisy people in the downwind building, but it sounds like it rings in everyone's ears, and everyone can hear it clearly.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and when they looked at the voice, they realized that it was a young man in the lobby who spoke. The young man wore a moon-white robe, and his feet were chasing the wind, and on the table was a long sword sheathed in shark skin, with a purple tassel tied to the hilt. The young man looked quite wealthy, but he looked lonely, his face was unhealthily pale, and he was sitting in a corner of the lobby drinking alone.

Ma Biao's pupils shrank, the young man's words just now were very rude, but Ma Biao regained his composure, what he saw from the other party was not only rudeness, but also the arrogance unique to the disciples of the big faction. After seeing the young man's voice again, Boss Niu breathed a sigh of relief, and Ma Biao had an understanding in his heart.

Ma Biao took a deep breath and said, "Forgive me for being clumsy, Your Excellency has a very good face, I don't know what to call it?"

The young man drank the wine and threw the glass on the table, and the wine glass fell firmly on the table.

Only then did the young man say slowly: "Lu Yiming." ”

Ma Biao froze, and said suspiciously: "But Lu Yiming of the Yuanwu faction?"

"Exactly. ”

There was a dead silence in the restaurant.

Looking at the popular crowd, he suddenly spontaneously withdrew three steps in the direction away from the youth, and in the eyes of the youth, there was envy, suspicion, and fear. No one could have thought that this young man who looked extremely lonely was Lu Yiming, who was famous for his ruthlessness and thirst for killing?

In the Kokura world, many people have heard of Lu Yiming's deeds.

If you don't know Lu Yiming, you must have heard of the Yuanwu faction, as well as his master and Xue Wangchuan, the head of Yuanwu.

Ma Biao's face suddenly turned pale, and he said with difficulty: "Boss Niu has been coming over to work hard recently, and it turns out that he has climbed into your faction..."

The young man sighed: "Deyue Tower is the property of my Yuanwu faction, but it's a pity that some waste is too useless to open the situation for a long time, so I'm here." ”

Boss Niu's body trembled, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Ma Biao's heart sank, and the other party did not shy away from making his words clear, thinking that he would not give himself room for mediation, but he finally created this foundation in Dongtai Town, how could he easily let go? Ma Biao walked quickly to Lu Yiming's table, bowed down and said with a smile: "Lu Gongzi, Ma has been fond of the Yuanwu faction for a long time, and Shunfeng Lou is willing to send tribute to your faction every year, but beg..."

Lu Yiming looked at Ma Biao's eyes full of sympathy, and sighed: "It's not negotiable." ”

As if he had lost his soul, Ma Biao suddenly aged a few years old.

Although they didn't hear the last conversation, everyone could still guess the approximate, so everyone looked at Ma Biao's eyes like Lu Yiming, full of sympathy. The Yuanwu faction, one of the ten major factions of Kokura, is not something that a businessman like Ma Biao can mess with...

Just then, a voice rang out in the lobby.

"Boss, I think I can try to take this commission. ”

Tang Chen laughed harmlessly.
