When Tang Chen arrived, many people had already gathered in the lobby of Shunfeng Building.

Boss Niu 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 solemnly aside, looking angry and helpless, and Ma Biao, the owner of Shunfeng Building, who was rarely in charge and was happy all day, sat on a chair, and his face was quite ugly.

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

Boss Niu's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Yo, the refiner of Shunfeng Building is finally willing to come out." 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. ”

Ma Biao was worried that Tang Chen would be tricked without knowing it, so he 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 usually only have a few kinds, if Boss Niu is too rare, the refining building in the city may not be able to accept it, let alone my small Shunfeng Building." Master Xiao Tang, you have to look at Boss Niu's ingredients, you have to see it clearly. ”

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 slightly.

The current situation is not difficult to guess.

Boss Niu came to find fault again and deliberately brought ingredients to embarrass Shunfeng Building. Since the other party came prepared, most of the things under the black cloth would not be ordinary ingredients, Ma Biao said the words in front first, hoping that Tang Chen would not accept the commission easily, so as not to leave more truthful.

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 burst of agitation.

Boss Niu looked calm and composed, 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's face, and sneered at each other: "I brought the ingredients to your Shunfeng Building for processing, but your Ma Dazui said that I was looking for faults? ”

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, the fatal incidents caused by eating large puffer fish occurred frequently, in order to avoid more people from eating and suffering by mistake, various places have organized people to concentrate on killing large puffer fish and destroying them, wild large puffer fish are almost killed and extinct, and there are occasional fish caught in the net, and the refining building in the city easily does not accept the processing commission of large puffer fish... 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.

Some people in the crowd began to point fingers and muttered that Boss Niu 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 their hearts became more and more uneasy.

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.

The pupils of the horse mark are constricted.

The young man's words just now were very rude, but Ma Biao regained his composure, and what he saw from the other party was not only rudeness, but also the arrogance unique to the disciples of the great sect. 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. ”

The restaurant suddenly fell into dead silence.

Looking at the lively crowd, the group retreated three steps in the direction of moving away from the youth.

Looking at the young man's eyes, there was envy, suspicion, and even more 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.

Those who don't know Lu Yiming at least know the Yuanwu faction, as well as his master and Xue Wangchuan, the head of Yuanwu.

Ma Biao's face suddenly turned pale.

He said with difficulty: "Boss Niu has always come 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, and some waste can't 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, so he would not give himself room for mediation, but he finally created this foundation in Dongtai Town, how could he let go easily? 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's eyes were full of sympathy, and he said softly: "It's not negotiable." ”

As if he had lost his soul, he looked a few years older.

Although they didn't hear the last conversation, everyone could still guess it, 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 take this commission. ”
