Nian Bing glanced at him and said, "How much does this pot cost?"
The boss tentatively said: "This pot should sell for one gold coin, but since you seem interested in buying it, I'll give you half the price, five silver coins, isn't it cheap?"
Nian Bing put the iron pot into the box, and said calmly: "Then you should keep this treasure of the store." After finishing speaking, he walked out without looking back.
"Ah! Sir, sir, don't leave! The price is negotiable, please make a price." The boss hurriedly called Nian Bing.
Nian Bing turned to look at him, and said: "If I have a full set of tableware, I will offer a total of one gold coin. If you want to sell it, you can sell it.
The boss was stunned and said: "Sir, don't talk nonsense, how do you know that this is a fake?"
Nian Bing smiled lightly, and said: "The material, the things produced by Tianquanxuan, the color is a little darker than this, and it is also a little heavier, and the imprint is also slightly wrong. The mark of Tianquanxuan should be a triangle. You This whole set of things, if I give you a gold coin, it is already a very high price, if my guess is correct, you should have bought it at a low price from somewhere."
The boss said with a bitter face: "Sir, even if it is fake, but you see so many pieces, one gold coin is too little."
Nian Bing snorted, "Don't think so? Then you can find another buyer. For such a fake, I will give you eight silver coins at most in other places." After finishing speaking, he was about to leave.
"Okay, okay, okay, Fangzheng, you are also the first customer today, and I'll sell you for one gold coin, hey, I lost it." The boss gave in with a look of reluctance.
Nian Bing took out a gold coin and handed it to the boss, picked up a bunch of kitchen utensils and left the shop, watching his back as he left. The short boss snorted, and said to himself: "What an idiot, I bought it even though I knew it was a fake. I only bought it for three silver coins. Well, I made a lot of money this time. Hahahaha." You know, one gold coin is enough for a family of three to live for half a month.
Leaving the shop, Nian Bing was also rejoicing. What an idiot, it is clearly a real product, but it is sold as a fake, and this is a big profit. Tianquanxuan's kitchen utensils are not fake. The reason why he dared to bargain with the boss. Mainly because of the boss's asking price. Tianquanxuan's items, even if purchased, would never be less than one gold coin, but the boss wanted to sell himself a pot for five silver coins. Reminiscing that Binglan City is a commercial city, he can easily judge that this set of Tianquanxuan kitchen utensils must have been bought by the boss from someone who doesn't know how to do it. Tianquanxuan is located in the Huarong Empire, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see their products. Knowing that the boss does not know the goods, Nian Bing naturally suppressed the price.
Finding a place where there is no one, Nian Bing inspected every kitchen utensil and collected them into his space ring. This time, he will sleep in the wild again. Don't worry about cooking without tools. On the way back to the hotel, he went shopping again; hungry for all kinds of seasonings he needed, the ring of space, except for his precious knives, was simply a mobile kitchen.
"Quiet. Are you awake?" Nian Bing returned to the hotel. It was already daytime, and naturally there was no security guard to stop him. He went directly to his own room upstairs.
The door opened, and Xue Jing appeared in front of Nian Bing with a dissatisfied face, "What did you do last night?"
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said, "I'm just sleeping on the sofa in the lobby!"
Xue Jing snorted, and said: "You're still lying. After I came back yesterday, I took a quilt and sent it to you, but you disappeared. Where did you go?" While talking, she pulled Nian Bing into the room. Hearing Xue Jing's words, Nian Bing couldn't help feeling warm, but thinking about his future freedom, he still made up his mind and said, "I just found a place to live for the night."
Xue Jing frowned and said: "Is there any place to stay at such a late hour? Come on, tell me, where did you go?" She was eager to ask Nian Bing where she was last night, and she didn't even close the door.
"Brothhouse, it's okay. Don't you think you're annoying?" Nian Bing pretended to be impatient.
"What?" Xue Jing's voice suddenly became sharper, "You, tell me again, where have you been?"
"A brothel! What's the matter? It's more comfortable to sleep there." Nian Bing put on an indifferent look.
Xue Jing's originally rosy face suddenly turned a little pale, and she raised her finger to Nian Bing, "You, you actually went to that kind of place, you, you..."
Nian Bing said indifferently: "Where to go is my freedom. Although we are friends, you have no right to restrict my freedom. I am also a man. Isn't it normal to go to a brothel?"
Xue Jing's voice trembled, "Okay, good Nian Bing, I came all the way to chase you, why did you treat me like this?"
Nian Bing blinked, "It's not as exaggerated as Qianli, Jing Jing, I said, this is my own business. I will tell the truth when I treat you as a friend."
Anger made Xue Jing's pale and pretty face flush, "I asked you to live with me last night, but you pushed back and forth, but went to a brothel. Why? Tell me why?"
Nian Bing walked to the side and sat down. He was also a little nervous at this time, he didn't know whether he should continue, took a deep breath, and said: "It's very simple, we are friends, and prostitutes don't need to be responsible."
"You" made a sound, the sword came out of its sheath, Xue Jing pointed at Nian Bing, "In your eyes, I am not even as good as a prostitute?"
Nian Bing shook his head and said: "No, Jing Jing, you have to understand that there is no other relationship between us other than being friends. I don't think I did anything wrong. This is the second time you have used the sword Pointing at me. I also want to ask you a question, what right do you have to interfere with my freedom, I never said that I am a gentleman, and I did not force you to walk with me, if you are not satisfied, you can do it at any time Leave, I think, Uncle Xue is looking forward to your return."
"I'll kill you." Xue Jing had lost her mind in the rage. Nian Bing originally wanted to take advantage of her fiery temper, but for some reason, she couldn't bear it now.
The sword pierced Nian Bing's chest with a red grudge. Xue Jing, who was in anger, had no worries. Just as Nian Bing was about to launch the scroll of the ice wall technique, a blue ray of light blocked in front of him without warning, with a soft ding. Xue Jing's sword flew away and stuck on the wall beside her. With a flash of blue light, a long sword touched her shoulder, and the air mechanism completely locked Xue Jing, making her unable to move at all.
Nian Bing looked at the person in front of him in surprise, "President Carlo."
The person who came was Carlo, and his eyes fell on Xue Jing. He said calmly: "Fire attribute fighting energy is as ethereal and volatile as clouds, but when it erupts, it is like overwhelming mountains and seas. This should be fire cloud fighting energy. What is your relationship with Marshal Blood Devouring Xue Po Xue?"
Nian Bing's breath stimulated Xue Jing's body. He glared at Carlo in front of him, "You don't care, get out, I'm going to kill him."
Carlo took a playful look at Nian Bing, "Noisy is noisy, why bother? Are you willing to kill him? If it's just a misunderstanding, just make it clear. Little girl, emotional matters can't be resolved impulsively. "He, who is old in accidents, has read many things from Xue Jing's love-hate eyes.
Xue Jing froze for a moment, and said angrily: "Go away, what is a misunderstanding? He himself admitted that he went to a brothel, is this still a misunderstanding? If you let me go, I will kill him."
Nian Bing stood up, walked to Carlo, and said: "Quiet, calm down. I have my own life, and you also have yours. We do not belong to the same world. If I do something to make you angry , then I would like to apologize to you, but I will never change anything because of you, and at the same time, I don't want you to change because of me. President Carlo, let her go."
The light of the sword in Carlo's hand disappeared, and the breath locking Xue Jing's body disappeared. Nian Bing walked aside, pulled the sword from the wall and handed it to Xue Jing, "I have a body protection scroll on me, you can't hurt me .I'm sorry, Jing Jing, maybe I have let you down, but this is my nature. Rather than letting you know me in the future, it's better to make it clear now."
Taking the sword from Nian Bing, Xue Jing's hands trembled slightly, "Why, why are you all treating me like this? What's wrong with me? Am I not worthy of you? As soon as I heard the news of your departure, I immediately chased after you, and I would rather accompany you to the Alan Empire, but what about you? What did you do? Do you agree with me?"
Nian Bing was silent, and said in his heart: I'm sorry, Jing Jing, I didn't want to reject you, but I am not qualified to accept your love at all, I only have hatred in my heart, for the sake of my parents' hatred, I can't let anything distract you , Jingjing, you will definitely find a better destination than me, and I will always bless you.
In Nian Bing's heart, the woman with the highest status is undoubtedly Feng Nu, maybe because Feng Nu is the first girl he saw, or because Feng Nu is the most beautiful among all the girls, in his heart, Feng Nu Even so, Nian Bing did not express anything to Feng Nu, because he knew that he was not qualified, and he was not qualified to find his love before he avenged his parents. He can only think about it after revenge, but he doesn't even know how long it will be, so he doesn't want to hurt any girl, so the only choice is to escape and quit, and strive to improve his ability, which is what he pursues.
Seeing that Nian Bing was silent, the anger in Xue Jing's heart increased even more, and the fighting spirit on the sword was faintly visible, but she, who always did things according to her own preferences, couldn't stab it no matter what, not because there was the unfathomable Carlo next to her, but also It wasn't because of Nian Bing's hidden magic scroll. Looking at the handsome man in front of her, although she was angry, she didn't know why. An indescribable feeling made her unable to make up her mind to hurt him.
Tears slid down her face, Xue Jing slammed the sword to the ground, let the tears flow, turned into a red cloud and floated away.
The person who always wanted to get rid of left, but Nian Bing felt even heavier in his heart, quietly, have a safe journey, and go back to Ice and Snow City earlier, where it belongs to you.
Carlo took two steps forward, picked up the sword on the ground, looked carefully, and said: "It's a good sword, with fire attribute, and it's made of Chigang with hundreds of refining methods. Using this sword can make the fire attribute fighting spirit stronger. Better performance, a rare sharp weapon! Mr. Magician, don’t you feel a little pity?”
Nian Bing sighed, took the sword in his hand, and said: "Things have already happened, there is nothing to regret. The sword is a good sword, but I am not a good person. Call me Nian Bing."
Carlo smiled slightly, and said: "This girl looks good, you can see it. Although she has a hot temper, she still has a good temperament. Why do you have to be thousands of miles away from others?"
"Do I have it? You heard it too. She lost her temper because I went to the brothel last night. I'm sorry for her. It's the most correct choice for her to leave. How can a person like me deserve her love? "
Carlo's smile became wider, "Item is dozens of years older than you, and you have some attainments in the art of observing people. Although you look gentle on the surface, there is a kind of pride in your bones that others don't have. Can't be proud, but be proud, I don't think people like you go to a brothel to do something meaningless, am I right? If I'm right, you seem to want to get involved because of something That girl forced her away."
"Old fox" This is Nian Bing's evaluation of Carlo, "These are my private matters, so President Carlo doesn't need to ask any more questions. If you come to me, you must have prepared those things, right?"
Carlo smiled slightly and said: "Of course, I wonder if Mr. Nian Bing is ready? Bring it in." Amidst his greeting, a tall and strong man walked in from the outside, with Carrying a cloth bag, without opening it, Nian Bing has already felt the magic breath in the cloth bag. "Everything you want is already here"
Nian Bing nodded, glanced at the cloth bag on the table, and made a vacant move with his right hand. Immediately, seven magic scrolls appeared in his hands. These magic scrolls were all made of the most advanced white scrolls, "Yes You can take it and take a look, but don’t accidentally touch it. I will tell you what magic these scrolls represent later.”
Seeing that Nian Bing didn't look at the cloth bag he brought, Carlo smiled and said, "Since you trust me, why can't I trust you? Mr. Nian Bing, I am very happy to have completed our first transaction. If you still have magic items to sell, I am always welcome, and the price is not a problem."
Nian Bing nodded and said: "In that case, I won't send the president off." He just wants to be alone now.
Carlo said: "Mr. Nian Bing, I heard from you yesterday that there are still a few special magic scrolls that I want to sell. What are the effects of these magic scrolls? If possible, I will definitely offer a very reasonable price .Of course, it depends on the quality of the scroll itself."
Nian Bing shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I don't want to sell those magic scrolls, maybe I will have a chance in the future. You also know that I am not short of money, I just need some raw materials for magic items."
Carlo didn't say anything more, but smiled and said, "I hope our trade union can cooperate happily with Lingshi. After leaving here, I will rush to Ice and Snow City immediately."
Nian Bing moved in his heart, and said: "President Carlo, if you meet that girl on the way to Ice and Snow City, please help me take care of her, and Nian Bing will be rewarded in the future."
Carlo nodded. He saw that Nian Bing was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything more, and left the room with his men.
Xue Jing left, and she also got the white scroll she wanted. Everything seemed to be going well, but Nian Bing felt a little panicked in her heart. She opened the bag and showed the white scroll in front of her. What do you do when you are in a bad mood? ? It is naturally the best way to have some things to resolve. At present, making scrolls is the best choice. Only by turning each of the white scrolls into what he needs can he survive on this continent better.
Making scrolls again, Nian Bing had very high demands on himself. A single magic scroll was no longer what he was after. Although the highest level was still sixth order, this time, he integrated many of his own ideas into various scrolls.
three days. For three whole days, Nian Bing didn't leave the room, and the daily food and drink were sent to the room by the hotel staff. On the first day, he was still a little depressed, but from the second day on, he had forgotten all his troubles and devoted himself completely to making the magic scroll.
The more complex the scroll, the more difficult it is to craft. In the same way, the chance of success is smaller, even with his profound magic control, some magic scrolls with special effects. The success rate is less than one-third.
Three days passed, and Nian Bing looked at the more than twenty scrolls successfully completed in front of him, with a slight smile on his pale face. Although only twenty magic scrolls were produced from the many white scrolls, he firmly believed that, If you take out any of these finished products in front of you, the price can be compared with the price of all the previous white scrolls.
Carefully put these scrolls into the ring of space, and then took out a few to wear on himself, and it was done. Now that what you need is done, it's time to set off. The Oran Empire is the goal he is about to reach, before going to the Oran Empire. He still has one more thing to do, which is to pursue another dream of his own, which can also be said to be a pursuit for his master Chaji. The famous snack in Binglan City is the last place he will stay before leaving.
After paying the bill, Nian Bing quietly left the Lanxin Hotel. When he passed the Lanxin Restaurant, he clearly saw that there were several kinds of chicken wings on the signboard, which were completely changed from the chicken wings he made that day. Imagine that this kind of chicken wings made in the hands of ordinary chefs is definitely not as good as the ones made by yourself, but compared with the original ones, it is obviously much stronger. This can be regarded as my little contribution to this city, I hope that the staring food will not let me down.
While thinking, Nian Bing walked along the street towards the south of the city. The street was still so noisy and lively. Various caravans could be seen everywhere, and carriages half-loaded with goods would often block the traffic on the street. At this time, there will be officials from Ice Orchid City to help improve the traffic situation. Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and this commercial city is still running smoothly. Nian Bing looked at everything around him, and secretly told himself that the next time he entered the Ice Moon Empire through Ice Orchid City, it might be the moment when he went to the Ice God Tower to avenge his parents.
With a slight smile, Nian Bing walked forward. He didn't know how long he would have to walk, but after confirming his position, Nancheng will always have an end.
When Nian Bing came to Nancheng, his breath was already a little uneven, he really wanted to shout, I hate big cities, why did I have to go so far? Looking for a passer-by to ask Ming Bingyan Restaurant for the exact location, he found his way and found his destination.
The facade decoration is much better than Lanxin Restaurant, but it seems to be an open-air restaurant. There is a huge sign in the center of the archway at the entrance. It is a big eye. The oval eye is one square meter in size, hanging there It is extremely eye-catching, with a large character on both sides of the big eyes, stare and eye.
What a feature! This is Nian Bing's first feeling. This feeling intensified when he walked through the gate. This is not the first time he has seen such a full meal. What is presented in front of him is a huge yard without a roof, and the tables are scattered. As long as there are guests, there will be a big mouthful The pot, no matter how many guests there are, there is a waiter at the table staring at it, and the eyes of the guests are all on the pot, which indeed fits the word staring, but why do they do this
"Sir, are you here to eat star food?" A waiter ran up.
Nian Bing nodded and said: "This is my first time here, can you introduce me first?"
The waiter smiled slightly and said: "It's actually very simple. We have special seasoning in this pot, which is boiled for a long time to make old soup. When eating, dilute it with boiling water, and then put it in such as liver, intestines, stomach, lungs, etc. Sliced meat, tofu, green vegetables and some high-end things, the best is abalone, there is only one abalone in a pot, as long as you can hold it, we will put another one, and then the bottom will be heated by the fire, and the various materials in the pot It will boil with the boiling water, and each silver coin of the guests can use the chopsticks ten times, and they can’t stay in the boiling water. They can eat whatever they put on it, and we also give away free biscuits and bottom soup. If you are lucky, you will naturally eat good things, luck No, it is possible to even eat green vegetables ten times."
Nian Bing looked at the waiter in surprise and said: "This is really fresh, then give me a pot, I will try it." Under the leadership of the waiter. He came to an empty table and sat down. After a while, the waiter first brought a fire. Then place a large pot on the fire and heat it.
The soup in the pot was brownish-yellow, and bursts of aroma came out. Judging by the aroma, Nian Bing judged that there must be medicinal materials in the base of this pot. Is medicinal food popular in the Ice Moon Empire now
The soup in the pot gradually boiled, and Nian Bing picked up a sesame seed cake with his left hand. Picking up the chopsticks with his right hand, he looked carefully at the various materials churning in the soup. There was a lot of soup, but there were relatively few materials in it. The temperature of the fire below is not low. No wonder it was eaten in the open air. If it was in the house, with so many fires, it would be difficult to solve the problem of temperature alone. Staring at the food, it seems that I really have to widen my eyes.
In terms of eyesight and accuracy of hands, I am afraid martial arts masters can hardly compare to Nian Bing. With a flick of his wrist, he poked and retracted the chopsticks like lightning, and he picked up the only small abalone in the pot. Ignoring the surprised look of the waiter, Nian Bing blew off the heat from the abalone and put it in his mouth to chew.
The taste is not as good as expected, but it is still acceptable, Nian Bing immediately judged. The main reason why this staring food can attract customers is that it is a novelty. In terms of real taste, it can only be regarded as passable. The taste of the medicinal materials in the soup has not been fully absorbed by the ingredients. Due to the pre-cooked, the heat is generally controlled, and the umami taste of the abalone has been somewhat lost.
When Nian Bing picked up the eighth abalone and put it in his mouth, the waiter's face was extremely ugly. How to find the precious abalone among the many ingredients, you know, every time he puts an abalone, he will stir all the ingredients, and the abalone is very slippery in the soup, it is not easy to pick it up, What's more, it was clipped in an instant.
Fortunately, Nian Bing caught a vegetable leaf and a piece of meat in the last two shots, otherwise, his staring food would have become a feast of ten abalones. After drinking a bowl of soup and putting down the biscuits in his mouth, Nian Bing let out a sigh of satisfaction, and said to the waiter beside him: "The taste of the soup is better than the ingredients. It was originally a good dish, but it's a pity that it's not good to eat like this." Maybe it’s not good to control the heat, so I’d like to give you a suggestion, it’s better to add some sliced ginger to the soup, not only will it have more effect of dispelling the cold, but also the taste will be better.”
After speaking, ignoring the waiter's surprised gaze, he put a silver coin on the table, got up and left.
Although the staring food did not bring too many surprises to Nian Bing, this fresh way of eating still made him understand.
After leaving the city, Nian Bing took a deep breath. Compared with the turbid air in the city, the wilderness is much fresher. The sun was hanging high in the sky, and it was already close to noon at this time. He was in good spirits after having a feast of staring food. Let's go to the capital of the Oran Empire.
Not far from the territory of the Oran Empire, Nian Bing suddenly felt a chilling aura. The aura was very strong, and the surrounding trees seemed very quiet, as if even the chirping of insects and birds did not exist.
Under what circumstances will this feeling appear? His heart tightened slightly, and he had already thought of the answer. The army, only in the vicinity of the army station, can this happen, and the army here must have passed the test of iron and blood before it can emit such a strong murderous aura. It seems that the side mirrors between the Oran Empire and the Ice Moon Empire are not as peaceful as imagined!
While thinking, the sound of horseshoes came from the front. As the sound of horseshoes became clearer, Nian Bing saw a puff of dust rising from the distance of the avenue. The dust and smoke was very straight, coming along the main avenue. Is that cavalry? Thinking of the word cavalry, Nian Bing not only recalled that day more than eight years ago, that was the first time he and his master were on their way to Ice and Snow City. The Silver Feather Knights left a deep impression on him, especially the The aunt who I regard as my mother is so kind, she really looks like a mother!
The dust was getting closer and closer, and Nian Bing saw that it was a group of cavalry, neatly arranged cavalry, a total of ten cavalry, lined up, uniformly wearing black armor, although not heavy armor, but it also looks like It seemed a bit heavy, and they were rushing towards their side at a fast speed. The knights on the horses were full of energy, and none of them wore helmets. The straight line of dust and smoke appeared from the feet of their horses. There is no trace of disorder, and even their riding postures are exactly the same. It is obvious that this is a well-trained team.
Nian Bing stepped aside, he didn't want these cavalry to misunderstand something, since the day he left Ice and Snow City, he told himself, try not to provoke trouble if you can, and if you have less trouble, you can do better. to achieve goals.
If you don't provoke others, will others not provoke you? uncertain.
G
"Stop." The leading knight suddenly yelled, and the front hooves of the ten war horses were raised high at the same time, and fell to the side. They were galloping and stopped not far from Nian Bing. With long fiery red hair, he was much taller than Nian Bing. Because the horse stopped suddenly, the armor on his body made a squeaking sound. He got off the horse and walked towards Nian Bing.
"Little brother, how far is it to Ice Orchid City?" The knight's voice was quite polite.
Nian Bing said: "It's not far away, follow the avenue, and with your riding speed, you will arrive in about half an hour."
The knight looked at Nian Bing with some doubts, "Did you just come from there? People from the Ice Moon Empire?"
Nian Bing shook his head. Of course he couldn't be sure of the other party's statement. There is no golden-haired person in the Ice Moon Empire. "No, I am from the Huarong Empire. If there is nothing else, I will continue on my way."
Hearing the word Huarong Empire, the knight's face changed, "Huarong Empire? Then you don't have to go, come back to Binglan City with us."
Nian Bing was slightly taken aback, and said, "Why?"
The knight snorted coldly and said, "I am Aumu, the squadron leader of the Iron-Blooded Knights of the Ice Moon Empire. Now the Huarong Empire has suddenly united with the Qilu Empire and launched an attack on the Oran Empire. We are returning to the Empire to deliver news. When you suddenly appeared at the junction of our two countries, and you are from the Huarong Empire, you must go with us, and if you find out that it has nothing to do with you, then let you go."
Nian Bing frowned and said: "But, I don't know what the war is. Hearing what you said, it seems that the war has not been going on for a long time. I am far away in the Ice Moon Empire, so how could I know about it? It will definitely not be the spy you imagined. "
