Chapter 124: The Blind Man Who Sells Rice Balls (3)
Defeating the "fish man" hidden in the water, our strength is recognized, and we have obtained the qualification to eat blind glutinous rice balls. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After crossing the bridge, we realized how "prosperous" this side is!
Bajie said that there are a lot of people here, like a big night market, and there are many vendors selling groceries.
The others are the same as the outside world, except that none of these vendors are selling, and more voices are made by a steady stream of customers.
It's just that there are no lights here, it's pitch black, and you can't see people's faces clearly!
Here, almost all people have internal fluctuations, strong or weak, and even different fluctuations similar to those of the Dongyi people, which makes me feel strange.
The people who came because of the blind dumplings turned out to be not only the Central Plains people, but also the Dongyi people!
Knowing what our purpose was, we were not affected by the other vendors and went straight to the ancient bell tower in the middle.
Most of the people who appear here are probably unknowns, only a few are whispering about something, and the content is all about the items sold by the vendors.
The two of us came over, and no one showed any sense of incomprehension, so it can be seen that it is very common for people we don't know to have here.
Passing through the crowd, we soon arrived in front of the ancient bell tower, and in front of the ancient bell tower there was indeed a blind man selling rice balls.
I'm just blind, I can't see, I don't know if the person who cooked the dumplings is blind or not.
Bajie said that judging from the man's actions, the man should be blind, but the light of the torch that cooked the rice balls was very dim, and the hair on the blind man's head covered his eyes, and he couldn't be completely sure of this!
From this blind man, I didn't perceive any internal fluctuations, and I felt like a very ordinary old man.
In this case, his ordinariness is extremely extraordinary.
This smell is like a stone in a pile of night pearls, which is very eye-catching.
This stone will be placed in the night pearl, and its own value is definitely not ordinary, but it is well hidden, and ordinary people can't see it.
And now, this is the case with the blind man who sells rice balls!
At this time, there are many people sitting in front of the ancient bell tower, and there are many tables set up here, which seem to be specially prepared by the blind for people who buy rice balls.
After observing it, I found that the people who came over didn't need to say anything, just sit down, so I took Bajie and sat down at an empty table.
After waiting for a while, there was a burst of fragrance wafting from the blind man, this fragrance made me can't help but saliva in my mouth, it is really fragrant.
I didn't expect the blind rice balls to be so fragrant, speaking of which, I haven't eaten the rice balls yet!
I swallowed the saliva without a trace, Bajie did not behave so restrainedly, and the sound of swallowing saliva made me feel speechless.
When the dumplings flew out of the fragrance, many people were attracted to come and sit down at the table.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but no one came to sit on our side, and only when all the tables were full did one sit down on our side.
According to my perception, this person is the strength of the middle stage of the condensation realm, and among these people who eat rice balls, it can be regarded as the middle and upper reaches of the level.
"Two brothers, I'm glad to meet!"
As soon as he came, the man smiled and said this to us.
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, he smiles at us, so we naturally don't need to smile at him coldly.
"Fortunately, I will be lucky!"
He seemed to be very talkative, and immediately said, "Two, the blind man's rice balls are about to be cooked, and I wonder if you can eat a bowl." ”
Hearing him say this, although I didn't quite understand it in my heart, I restrained myself and asked a little tentatively: "This is the first time we have come to eat tangyuan, I don't know if there are any rules?"
He chuckled lightly and said, "It's really the first time for the two of you to come, no wonder you look at your eyes, it's not a secret, I've been here several times." ”
When he said this, I was speechless, it was so dark here, could he really see our faces clearly, and he actually said something to look at the eyes.
Pretending not to notice the problem in his words, I smiled and said, "Then it's all up to my brother!"
"Take care of each other, take care of each other. ”
After a pause, I asked him in a low voice, "Dare to ask Brother Tai, is the blind man who sells rice balls blind or not?"
As soon as I finished speaking, he immediately stopped laughing and replied, "Some people are blind, but he can still see, and some people are not blind, and there is no difference between being blind and being blind!"
At that, he smiled a little inexplicably, and then stopped talking, when the blind man moved.
"You have come to eat glutinous rice balls, and the blind man will present the first dish of the day to all guests, jade beads!"
Hearing the blind man say this, I was a little confused, these people can't really come to eat rice balls, eat rice balls, can they make such a lot of excitement?
I naturally won't say the doubts in my heart, let's take a look first, if you eat rice balls, it doesn't matter if you eat a bowl of rice balls.
Bajie couldn't wait for a long time, and this time he rubbed his hands and swallowed frantically in his mouth.
"Hehe, my old pig can't wait!"
The man suddenly laughed out loud and said: "This brother Tai is really a man of temperament, it suits my appetite, people in the rivers and lakes just eat when they want to eat, drink when they want, this is a comfortable life!"
He said these words with a smile, but did not express doubts about Bajie's self-proclaimed old pig.
I didn't understand it very well at first, but after a little thought, I understood.
Obviously, this is not really eating rice balls, and those of them who come to eat rice balls are not righteous people, and they must hide their identities from each other, and it is normal to use fake names.
In his eyes, Bajie calls himself an old pig, but it is just a cover for his identity, and he is probably not surprised.
After the blind man finished speaking in a hoarse voice, many people came out of the ancient bell tower, and judging by the footsteps, I felt that they were young girls.
When they came out, they put chopsticks in front of each of us, and then put hot blind rice balls into our bowls.
When everything was done, they went to the side and stood still, and the blind man said, "Thank you for coming, the blind man has thanked you here!"
After he finished speaking, none of the people present moved their chopsticks, and the vendors before all left, and there was a strange silence on the side of the ancient bell tower.
At this time, any subtle sound will become the focus of everyone's attention, and Bajie has spoken.
He has always wanted to eat the rice balls, and now that the rice balls are here, he is a person who eats with chopsticks, and the chopsticks are stirring in the bowl, making a loud noise.
"Master, what is in this bowl is not a rice ball, it is a pearl of the night!"
When everyone looked at us quietly, Bajie said to me like this, which made me scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
Immediately put up the bowl of rice balls and weighed them, I felt that the amount of beads in it was not small, at least three or four.
The blind man boiled the rice balls, and they were so fragrant, but he didn't expect them to be the pearl of the night!
The blind man is cooking the Night Pearl, does this have anything to do with the person we met at the inn who took out the Night Pearl?
The bowls of me and Bajie are all night pearls, and the other people's bowls are all night pearls, this blind man is really not ordinary rich......
When we were puzzled, the blind man spoke up and said, "I'm afraid you two are new, my blind man's rice balls are not so delicious!"
Feeling that there was a threat in the blind man's words, I turned to face him and asked, "Excuse me, how should I eat this rice ball?"
When I asked, I was not blind, but a very rough voice.
"No matter how you eat, you two newcomers are not qualified to eat!"
"Oh?"
I couldn't help sneering, and I said: "The blind man sells rice balls, and I, a blind man, come to eat rice balls, isn't this just right, how can I say that I am not qualified to eat them!"
There was a slap on the table, and the man with a rough voice stood up, as if he was angry, and had a sense of wanting to fight me.
Before I could react, the man at the table with us stood up and shouted, "These two are my friends, you can't touch them!"
Seeing this guy suddenly protecting us, I felt a little inexplicable, that guy from Bajie had a big heart, and he didn't care about it, and concentrated on playing with the night pearl that had just arrived.
A rough voice asked, "Which onion are you?"
This person was not angry, and said lightly: "If you want to know who I am, you asked me about the sword in my hand first!"
Seeing that the two were about to fight, this dumpling feast was about to be unbearable, and the blind man came out to play a round.
"Two, today is the day when I cook rice balls blindly, since you are willing to come to my field, please sell me another face, don't do it. ”
The blind man's face was big enough, and his voice was rough, and the strength of the man was at the high level of the condensation realm, and when he heard him say this, he really sat down and stopped talking.
We didn't say much about this, and sat down.
If he hadn't protected us just now, it wouldn't have been easy for us to eat this bowl of rice balls, so I thanked him.
"My name is Tang Seng, and this one on the side is my disciple, Bajie, thank you brother Tai for helping!"
I don't know if it's intentional or not, he chuckled and said, "My name is Monkey King!"
As soon as he said this, Bajie was immediately unhappy, and said angrily: "I already have a senior brother, don't talk nonsense." ”
Suddenly being topped by Bajie, this person didn't react except for being a little confused, but still smiled and said, "Forgive me, my name is Xinghai." The point of the lamp, the star of the star, the sea of blue tides. ”
After we say our names, we call each other by those names, whether they are true or false.
The unpleasantness just now soon disappeared, and the blind man began to preside over the overall situation again, and said, "Everyone, this bowl of rice balls has been eaten, and then let's start our second course here." ”
As soon as the words fell, it was as if everything had been calculated, and the lit lamps and torches were extinguished together, turning the front of the ancient bell tower into darkness.
I didn't know anything, but Bajie shouted in a low voice: "Why did you turn off all the lights, there were only a few lights that couldn't see anything, what are you going to do with this black light?"
Hearing Bajie say this, I feel a little strange, if eating rice balls is done in the dark, then the day of cooking rice balls must be picked when there are no stars in the sky.
It's a pity that I'm blind now, and I don't know if there are no stars in the sky tonight, but through Bajie's reaction, it should be like this.
Dian Xinghai said at this time: "Brother Bajie don't be impatient, the show is about to start!"
As soon as he said this, Bajie really held down his temperament and looked down.
Faced with this situation, everyone present had some understanding, so they did not show any panic or discomfort, and they all waited quietly.
In this way, these people definitely not come to eat rice balls for the first time.
The deathly silence lasted for a while, and finally someone spoke, still in the voice of a blind man selling rice balls.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second course of the night. ”
After he finished speaking, I was actually confused, I didn't know what dishes had to be eaten in such darkness, and I had never heard of the name of this rare dish.
I don't feel much if I haven't heard the name of the dish, because I'm a person who doesn't know much about it, like some other cuisine, and it's normal that I don't know.
After a pause, as if deliberately provoking everyone's appetite, he said slowly: "Last time, many friends have got their favorite items, I hope this time the treasures, you will continue to be happy!"
After speaking, the footsteps of a young girl stood in front of us from far and near.
I didn't know what the situation was, so I immediately asked Bajie, "What's the situation?"
Bajie said: "Master, there is a torch lit in front of you, it is a woman, she looks pretty good, she is holding a wooden saucer in her hand, and it seems to be a bag inside!"
"Oh......"
When Bajie said that the torch was lit, the blind man's voice changed, and he could have locked the position, but now it became ethereal, so that I didn't know where he was.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's first product is a piece of news - news about Emperor Yu of Great Qin. ”
"Not long ago, Emperor Yu of Great Qin was assassinated, and the news of Emperor Yu's death came out afterwards, but whether this news is true or false, just look at this trick!"
"Prices start at three night pearls. ”
Having said that, I only heard this, and I completely understood what this so-called blind glutinous rice balls was for!
The blind man is definitely a capable man, he has a lot of valuable information or other things in his hands, and he auctions them for the purpose of making money, or maybe other ......
Great Qin Yu Emperor Shen Yu is still the lord of the world now, and naturally there are many people who are interested in his situation, and the sound of bidding soon sounded.
"I'll give four. ”
"I'll give five. ”
"Six!"
......
In the end, the news was sold for ten Night Pearls.
The blind man's voice sounded at the right time, and said: "Congratulations on the successful bid for this news, I am blind here, I will say again, anything is in my hands only once, and it will be kept absolutely confidential, please rest assured." ”
I am also quite emotional about the shame of the blind man's "business morality" in my heart.
One piece of news can sell ten night pearls, how rich the people who come to eat the rice balls must be, I'm afraid that there are quite a lot of black interests......
At this time, the person in front of me suddenly asked me: "Brother Tang Seng, you are here to eat tangyuan, I'm afraid you are also here for something!"
I didn't know that eating rice balls was such an inside story, so I could only pretend that I knew, and replied to him: "Yes, I did come here for something, brother, you should be about the same!"
He just laughed a little, but didn't answer my question, and the laughter made me feel a little confused.
Before I could ask, the blind man's voice had already sounded, and I couldn't ask any more.
"Next, the second product is still a piece of news, in my opinion, this news is definitely more valuable than the news of Emperor Yu of Great Qin. ”
As he spoke, there was another sound of footsteps, and needless to say, it must have been another young girl with a wooden saucer.
"This piece of information has a lot of origin, it is the news of the life and death of the twenty-sixth generation Sword Emperor Liu Wufeng!"
When he said this, not only did the people present fall into a whisper, but also made my heart explode and storm.
The blind man actually knew the exact death of the old man, and they dared to sell this!
Thinking of this, I have already put him on the must-kill list in my heart, since he dares to do such a blasphemous thing against the Sword Emperor, he must be ready to accept the Sword Emperor's revenge.
The blind man's voice continued to reverberate around him.
"Previously, in Los Angeles, the shadow Ji Qianjue broke the news that Liu Wufeng was dead, and besieged and killed Li Longchen, a disciple of the twenty-sixth generation of the Sword Emperor, but Ji Qianjue's news is true or false, it is difficult to know, here, you can definitely get the most authentic news!"
"The starting price is five night pearls. ”
I have to say that his method of raising the price is quite powerful, and he raises the price extremely high in just a few words.
"I'll give seven!"
"I'll give nine!"
"Ten!"
......
"I'll give twenty!"
In the end, a relatively young voice shouted out, suppressing everyone's voices, twenty night pearls is not a small number, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to afford it.
In this way, the news was sold at a sky-high price.
Actually, I'm quite curious about who is so crazy about the old man's death, even if it costs twenty night pearls.
What is his purpose, is he in the same vein as our Sword Emperor, is he friend or foe?
Curiosity is curiosity, and I can't take it out and ask, because the blind man's information about these buyers is absolutely confidential, and I have no reason for him to tell me.
After that, the conference continued.
......
To be continued......
