Chapter XXVII: The Second Floor

Back in the room, Li Mu felt extremely tired, he sat down cross-legged and began to run the Da Luo Neijing. The internal force slowly enters the second vein of Rendu from the dantian, and then flows from the second vein of Rendu to the eighth vein of the Qi Jing. With more Qi Jing Eight Veins, the speed of cultivation is greatly reduced, but the effect is completely different. The internal force only ran for a small week, and all his fatigue was swept away, and he went to the courtyard to drive wooden stakes in a refreshed state.

The wooden stake belongs to Liu Luo, since this guy learned Wing Chun one hundred and eight hands, he has taken this wooden stake with him wherever he goes, and the speed of progress is even faster.

As Li Mu learned more and more about the living environment here, his desire for his own martial arts became higher and higher, and he was really afraid that he would be killed one day when he walked on the street. After all, he is now the Grand Duke of Bizhou Mansion, and I don't know how many people want to assassinate him. For example, the Eighth Prince...... Li Mu always felt that this guy's eyes were weird.

Dogs that bite don't bark!

And he felt that the martial arts moves he could best use were grappling hands and Wing Chun. So he stepped up his practice all the time.

At four o'clock, a luxurious carriage appeared at the Baron's Palace on time, carrying the two of them all the way, and finally stopped at a quiet place in the third ring road of Shangjing. Before Li Mu and Liu Luo got off the carriage, they saw Chang Yin of the South Gate standing at the door with several dignitaries and dignitaries, laughing.

"Amu. Nanmen Changyin saw the carriage coming, immediately left those dignitaries and nobles, and walked to the carriage in person, Li Mu just got off the carriage and he pulled his wrist to the side of the dignitaries, without the introduction of Nanmen Changyin, these guys took the initiative to give up their hands to Li Mu and said: "Lord Duke." ”

Li Mu didn't know how many dignitaries he saw today, and at first he could still remember the names and official positions of a few people, but later, he didn't bother to remember them, anyway, he wouldn't be able to stay in Beijing for a few days before he went home. After a few words of greeting, the south gate Changyin pulled Li Mu into this ...... The most extravagant entertainment venue in the entire Great Xia Empire - the second floor.

The second floor was built in 788 in the Great Xia Empire, which has a history of 140 years. Someone has calculated that the second floor will earn one-seventeenth of the total annual tax of the entire empire!

That's a terrifying number.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard on the second floor, Li Mu was taken aback by the area occupied here. In the third ring road of Shangjing, where every inch of land is valuable, every square meter of land can be sold for a high price of hundreds of taels. Here, the courtyard in front of me alone is almost 500 square meters. There are rockeries, gardens, fish ponds in the courtyard. All the decorations are ingenious and meticulously built, and Li Mu, the turtle who looks at it, can't wait to take off the emerald inlaid on the rockery and take it away.

Passing through the courtyard, you can see the whole view of the second floor: the second floor consists of a main building and two side buildings. The main building is six floors high, and the side building also has three floors, all of which are luxuriously decorated. Under the leadership of Changyin at the south gate, the three of them walked all the way into the six-story main building in the middle. As soon as he entered the door, Changyin of the south gate pulled Li Mu to sit on the Taishi chair at the door, and then, three young girls who were twenty-eight years old greeted him. They put their legs on the wooden piers, which were polished very smooth, and the round pillars were beautifully carved with patterns, and everything was luxurious. The girls first used brushes to clean the soles of their shoes from the ashes, and then put shoe covers on them. After doing all this, Nanmen Changyin took the two of them to the second floor of this legend.

The door opened, and a bright light shone through, and eight rows of extremely long tables occupied almost half of the entire hall, and the tables were filled with a variety of delicacies and drinks. Customers in the hall sit quietly at their tables and eat. Occasionally, a few girls in white gauze skirts walked barefoot on the carpet covered with white fluff with a tray in their hands, and their bare ankles exposed on the fluff were slender and full, with slender feet, and neat toes slightly upturned, like ten round green onions, a beautiful picture of the world.

The South Gate Changyin smiled and pulled him all the way up to the third floor, and came to the private room that the South Gate Changyin had booked in advance. The three of them sat down, and from the position where Li Mu was sitting, they could see the whole view of the hall on the first floor.

Liu Luo had long been stunned, he hadn't spoken since he entered the courtyard on the second floor, and he looked a little more earthy than Li Mu, a turtle. Now he is sitting in a chair stiffly, looking at his surroundings with a sneaky look.

Li Mu also felt shocked now, although the grade here was not known how many times worse than the star hotel in his dream world, but ...... In a world where there are no electric lights, it is already very sensational to be able to decorate to such an extent. It's just that from the moment he entered the door, he felt that something was not quite right......

Where exactly?

He thought about it and didn't have a clue, so he simply didn't care.

The most surprising thing is the long chant of the south gate. He did not deny Duke Li Mu's honorable status, but in his eyes, he was just a duke from the countryside. Nanmen Changyin originally wanted him to see the difference between the royal city and the countryside, but this idea seemed to be shattered.

At the beginning, it was indeed as he expected, from the moment Li Mu entered the second floor, he looked like a hillbilly entering the city, but after this guy actually entered the second floor, the previous appearance of the turtle disappeared immediately, and where his eyes touched, it seemed to ...... It smacks of judgment.

Could it be that this guy has been to a more high-end venue than the second floor?

Nanmen Changyin was taken aback by his own thoughts, in the entire Great Xia Empire, there was no entertainment venue more upscale than the second floor.

Soon, a few girls in the same costumes as those seen in the hall on the first floor came in. They placed three black-iron-poured plates on the table in front of them, the temperature of the plates was very high, the beef inside the hot made a sizzling sound, and knives and forks were placed on the left and right sides of the plates.

Knife and fork?

It turned out to be a knife and fork!!

The corners of Li Mu's mouth twitched fiercely, and he finally thought of why he felt that the people in the hall on the first floor were weird before. It turned out that those people were not holding chopsticks, but knives and forks!!

He was now sure that on the other side of the ocean, those foreign devils had already come to their Great Xia Empire!

Moreover, it was more than one hundred and forty years ago!

Li Mu suppressed the shock of his psychology, instinctively picked up the knife and fork, held the fork in his left hand and pressed the beef on the plate, and cut off a piece of the knife in his right hand and sent it to his mouth. He chewed it carefully and then made a comment: "The steak has been fried for too long, the meat is old, and there is no chew." Do you have any medium-rare steaks here?" Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of a question: the folk customs of the Great Xia Empire were very conservative, and they might gradually accept new things, but they would never accept half-cooked food. That's why the meat of this steak is so old.

The girl was stunned and quickly nodded to say yes, Li Mu ordered a copy, and the girls withdrew respectfully.

At this time, Li Mu secretly calculated: everything in this world is so backward, why don't you follow this second floor and transform the entire Hai'an Mansion into a tourist resort with special flavors?

There are 12 county towns in Hai Ping'an Province, and two of them are close to the beach, and you can completely transform those two county towns into a sea paradise. When the time comes, set aside a spot near the sea and get some canoes and kayaks for tourists to enjoy. Something more exciting, such as diving, surfing, windsurfing and water skiing?

Oh, and you can also soak up the sun on the beach...... Well, you won't be charged for this sunbath.

In an instant, Li Mu's psychological thoughts were over thousand, and he wished that the Great Xia Empire would collapse immediately, and then he would raise troops in Hai'an Mansion...... But you don't have any soldiers yet?

If everything can develop as imagined, he has every confidence that Hai Ping'an Mansion, the most barren place in the empire, will become the richest small country.

Soon, the waiter brought the medium-rare steak that Li Mu requested. He couldn't wait to taste a piece and was full of praise. That's what it smells like.

This meal lasted for more than half an hour, and then a lot of various snacks that Li Mu had never seen came up one after another, and the taste was indeed very good. After eating, the three of them went all the way up the stairs to the top floor. The chief of the south gate paid thirty taels of silver, and immediately a servant opened the iron door to the rooftop. Then, rude swearing, heart-rending roars, and unbridled laughter immediately drifted out of it. Even, Li Mu saw a blood-stained guy flash through the open iron door.
