214 The Affair(2/3)
Bai Yutang hasn't visited Beihai before, so I can take a closer look this time.
He felt strange all the way along the way - the people of Beihai seemed to be relatively dull, most of them were looking down, and they hurriedly left with their heads down, not looking around. Here, locals and outsiders could tell at a glance.
Locals are in a hurry, while outsiders are wandering around leisurely.
Bai Yutang felt a little strange, why are you in such a hurry?
When I arrived near the competition venue, I saw a crowd of people.
Bai Yutang had a headache when he saw that there were too many people and didn't want to squeeze in, so he went to a nearby restaurant.
This restaurant looks very high-end, but there are very few people in the building.
Bai Yutang also found this strange. The nearby restaurants and inns are surrounded by people. Why are there so few people in this restaurant?
Bai Yutang stepped in and a friend came to stop him, "Oh! This official."
Bai Yutang turned slightly, avoided the guy's hand, and glanced at him coldly.
The guy swallowed, thinking that this guy was so fierce and cold, but he still blocked the way, saying, "Our store only greets guests."
Bai Yutang looked at him and asked, "How is he considered a distinguished guest?"
"The story of the rich or powerful loli in another world." The guy was quite straightforward.
Bai Yutang asked him, "How come he is rich?"
"It costs one hundred taels to enter the door."
Bai Yutang drew a silver note of 100 taels for him.
The guy smiled, "Please go upstairs."
Bai Yutang went up the second floor and sat down at a table by the window. He felt that the money was worth it. First, it came here and it was quiet and clean, not like the noisy downstairs. Second, it was... the vision was good.
Bai Yutang found Zhan Zhao among the crowd at a glance.
Zhan Zhao was quite white in a bunch of martial artists. The people in Beihai were still relatively strong, and Zhan Zhao was quite thin... Just now, the cat was stepping on a fat man, Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing - this fat man probably joked that he had lost weight.
Sure enough, Zhan Zhao was stepping on his first rival.
In the first few rounds, they were randomly drawn, and the first person Zhan Zhao drew was this fat man.
Because there are too many people in the first three rounds, there is no need to go to the ring to compete. You can compete in a designated location where the examiner monitors the venue.
The fat man was also urging him to death. As soon as he came up, he laughed at Zhan Zhao and said that he was a scholar who ran to the wrong place, right? His thighs were not as thick as his arms...
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked down by Zhan Zhao.
When Zhan Zhao heard the examiner's name "Yin Shier", he thought of Bai Yutang's slow words "Zhan Xiaozhu". He was so angry that he could not beat him up when he saw the fat man who came to his door.
In the three rounds of competition, Zhan Zhao won in just three moves. Those contestants didn't know what was wrong, so they laughed at him for being thin... So Zhan Zhao was stimulated and stepped on three people in a row! The examiner gave him a sign and said, "Go directly to the rematch for a while!"
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows and closed the sign to watch others compete.
Bai Yutang was holding a teacup and drinking tea, his eyes following Zhan Zhao.
At this time, the guy came to serve him tea, "Master, do you want something?"
Bai Yutang asked, "Is there anything delicious in Beihai?"
"There are snow crabs, but they are very expensive." The guy smiled.
Bai Yutang laughed and asked him, "Is this snow crab originally expensive, or is it the ones in your store that are particularly expensive?"
"It's expensive," the guy said, not forgetting to add, "Of course, the restaurant is very delicious and expensive."
Bai Yutang nodded, "Previous one."
"One!" The guy was startled and smiled, "Uncle, a crab leg is enough for you to have a meal, and one has to set a table."
Bai Yutang was stunned and asked, "That's so big?"
"That's it!" The guy stretched out his two fingers, "A pair of two hundred and two silver patterns."
Bai Yutang thought for a while and asked, "Is it delicious to let it cool?"
"You can eat hot and cold, and the cold is chewy. If you want to eat hot, you can steam it, and the taste remains unchanged." said the guy.
Bai Yutang took out the silver notes and said, "I want two."
The guy collected the money and asked again, "Do you want wine?"
Bai Yutang simply took another silver note to him, "If you have any delicious food, you can pack it for me."
The guy took the bill and ran away happily, thinking to himself - this is what I call "I don't open for three years, I'll eat for three years" Tian Chong: Xiaoyao Xiezun's full text reading! Today I met a rich man.
The shopkeeper downstairs looked like a real "difficult guest", so he quickly served tea and poured water to entertain him.
Bai Yutang sat watching Zhan Zhao waited for the second round of competition boredly, holding his chin in a daze. His index finger casually turned the coral ring on his thumb.
After a while, a guy brought a delicate glutinous rice snack, "Master, this is a small snack, the crabs are steaming. Do you want to try it with one leg?"
Bai Yutang nodded, and downstairs, the shopkeeper personally brought a crab leg.
Bai Yutang looked at the crab legs that were as long as his own knife in those two sections. He thought to himself, would Zhan Zhao decide to settle in Beihai after seeing it?
The shopkeeper took out a pair of special tongs and carefully helped Bai Yutang remove the crabs, and the guy brought them to dip them.
Bai Yutang gracefully picked up a piece of snow-white crab meat with chopsticks, dipped it in the seasoning and tasted it, nodding. Zhan Zhao should like this taste very much.
"Young master, are you from the Central Plains?" the shopkeeper couldn't help asking.
Bai Yutang put down his chopsticks and tasted the wine, nodding.
"Are you coming to Beihai to play?" The guy was curious.
Bai Yutang shook his head and said, "Passing by, I want to buy a cedar zither."
"Oh, buy a piano... Just go to the piano shop opposite." The guy pointed.
Bai Yutang turned around and looked over...
Coincidentally, the Cedar Piano Store was right opposite the small building.
Bai Yutang only took a look and suddenly had an idea in his mind - it turns out that there is such a coincidence in this world.
Just as Bai Yutang looked at the piano shop, the window of the piano shop opposite opened.
The person who opened the window was the confidant next to Xuanyuan Jie, the eunuch Huai Mi.
Bai Yutang withdrew his gaze and did not look closely at the person behind Huai Mi. Instead, he pointed to the situation in the martial arts court ahead and asked the shopkeeper, "What are the people over there doing?"
"Oh, those people are in the martial arts competition. You'll be more cost-effective when you come back tomorrow. Today is the first round, and it's usually messy. Tomorrow they will be masters. The day after tomorrow, they should be the best-looking one!"
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded, picked up chopsticks, picked up one more chopstick and ate crab meat. The crab meat is soft and chewy. The cat should love it very much. If you like it, I will come to see the competition tomorrow and bring some back for him.
Bai Yutang was thinking, suddenly...he received a cold look with some internal force.
Bai Yutang was slightly stunned, and instinctively turned his face to look at the direction of the source of the internal force. At a glance... he saw a person standing next to the open window of the piano store opposite.
The man stood in the corner of the dark window, and Bai Yutang could not see his face, but only saw the black dragon-breasted fabric of his clothes.
But the internal force was too obvious. Obviously, the man deliberately wanted him to feel it or attract his attention.
Bai Yutang looked at the direction of the window, without any expression. He turned around and said to the friend, "Help me close this window."
"Okay." The guy thought Bai Yutang was cold, so he closed a window for him to block the piano shop opposite him.
The other Bai Yutang left behind was not allowed to be closed because he had to continue watching Zhan Zhao.
Holding the wine glass, Bai Yutang frowned - was that gaze and the powerful and extremely unstable internal force of Xuanyuan Jie? It was similar to what he felt near the carriage convoy just now, and of course it was much stronger... His master and Yin Hou were right, the internal force of the man opposite was indeed terrible to read the full text of Jingyan.
Just then, a messy footsteps suddenly came downstairs.
A guy rolled up and rushed up, grabbed the shopkeeper who was adding wine to Bai Yutang, and said a few words in his ear.
"Bang..." The shopkeeper didn't hold the wine pot in his hand and fell.
Bai Yutang reached out to help pick it up, put it back to the table, and looked at the shopkeeper in confusion.
The shopkeeper's hands were shaking slightly, his face was pale and he looked like he was a ghost. When the guy saw him trembling, he pulled him, "The boss!"
The shopkeeper came to his senses and said, "Hurry up... and welcome... and welcome."
As he said that, the shopkeeper was trembling and walked out.
But before he could reach the stairs, someone had already stepped up quickly.
The shopkeeper was about to kneel down quickly, and a sarcastic voice came, "I'm fine, the master will sit on the second floor."
While talking, I saw the eunuch Huai Mi who was still in the piano store opposite me just now, coming up.
The shopkeeper and the guy quickly prepared, one went downstairs to pick up the crabs, and the other went upstairs to prepare a table.
But Huai Mi sat down without going, but stared at Bai Yutang with good eyes, full of surprise and confusion in her eyes.
At this moment, footsteps came from the stairs.
Bai Yutang, who was looking at Zhan Zhao with a wine glass, suddenly frowned, and his internal strength was so strong.
He subconsciously glanced at the stairs. At the same time, the shopkeeper suddenly fell to the ground and hugged his head and said a headache. Several other guests in the restaurant also hugged their heads and shouted a headache.
Bai Yutang frowned. These guests should not be able to do martial arts or have very weak martial arts. No matter who comes here, they are ruthless. Such high internal strength is actually leaking here, which will kill innocent people.
To be continued...
