Ke Xun, Wei Dong, Cao Youning, Fang Fei, Luo Xun and Xinchun came to the shop and market downstairs together.
Ke Xun simply divided everyone into two groups: "Fang Fei, Dongzi, Cao Youning, you are going to the market here, I and Rui will go to the store over there, and we will meet at this place in about an hour."
Cao Youning: "There is no time on the mobile phone, how can you judge an hour?" Then he looked around, "Why doesn't this big square even have a clock?"
Time is indeed a problem, Fang Fei said: "Every group inquires as soon as possible, and the group that completes the task first will wait here."
"Okay." Wei Dong looked around, "That's the only way to go. By the way, let's buy lunch by the way. It should be noon."
There are lights all around, and there is a gray fog outside the window. It is impossible to judge the direction of the sun, and it is impossible to know the approximate time.
Cao Youning nodded immediately: "Hurry up and buy lunch, I'm already hungry!"
Everyone is a little hungry, and now we can only judge the time by the degree of digestion in the stomach, which is more primitive than the primitive.
After the grouping, Ke Xun and Luo Xun walked towards the row of shops.
"Brother, have you brought any money?" Luo Meng followed Ke Xun, and Xinchun followed like a little tail.
"I took some money from the package," Ke Xun touched his purse, "the currency here should be universal, and the bill shows that I spent some money at the Lantern Travel."
"Bills?! Brother, do you still have the habit of keeping accounts?" Luo Xun was surprised, feeling that this habit was completely inconsistent with Ke Xun's personality.
"I never keep accounts, but I have a simple bill in my wallet, and it's in my handwriting." Ke Xun still couldn't understand this, so he planned to go back and say to Mu Yiran, "Go back to you. Also take a good look at what's in your package, I feel that the painting doesn't fully understand the habits of each of us."
The two walked while talking. There was a tailor shop in front of them. There should be nothing they wanted to buy, but Ke Xun went in and asked: Boss, where can you sell magnifying glasses
"Only the caravans of the Guangming Brigade sell those rare goods." The old tailor lowered his head to sew clothes, then looked up at Ke Xun for a long time and took off his glasses, "This is bought from the merchants of those caravans. of."
Ke Xun himself is a member of the Guangming Travel Caravan, but unfortunately his caravan only sells spices: "Master, when will those caravans that sell magnifying glasses come back? Is it possible for our shop to buy from them?"
After the old tailor took off his glasses, his eyes were a little sunken, and there were obvious dark brown circles under his eyes. At this time, these eyes stared at Ke Xun without blinking, and his voice was extremely gloomy: "When did you say When. Are you going to break the taboo. You break the taboo. You break the taboo."
Ke Xun didn't know which of his words 'offended taboo', and at this moment, the old tailor who was approaching made him take two steps back.
Luo Meng was stunned beside him, but Xinchun acted as if he was protecting the master, "woo woo woo..." a few times.
The old tailor seemed to be awakened by the sound of the dog. He took a breath, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and put on his glasses again: "Oh, boy, what did you just say?"
Ke Xun: I don't dare to say it, I don't know which sentence is taboo...
The old tailor thought for a while: "Oh, look at my memory, you mean magnifying glass, right? Some shops in our lamp brigade will buy from the business trip, and there is a toy store in front of me that seems to have a magnifying glass telescope or something. , you go try your luck."
"Okay, thank you." Ke Xun and Luo Meng thanked each other and hurried out.
"Oh my God, brother, you scared me to death just now." Luo Yu's legs were softened.
Ke Xun was also startled just now, but he quickly calmed down: "You said, which sentence did I just break a taboo? Is it the Guangming Brigade? However, the words of the Guangming Brigade were clearly said by him first. ."
After all, Luo Meng had only experienced one painting, and he still had lingering fears at this time: "I think of a few old NPCs that my brother told me, there is an old man with a repeater machine, it is said that he almost swallowed you, and there is another one in a red vest. The old man in the mail room, and an old radio man, who has never shown up, only an old voice: Don't pollute the color! I rely on me to think that this is the most feared."
Ke Xun: That doesn't seem to be an old man...
Luo Yu: "I'm also someone who has experienced an old man's NPC..."
On the contrary, Ke Xun was a little relieved. The sudden mechanization of the NPC made people feel that this painting was not as impeccable as imagined. At least it made everyone understand the taboos of this world, which is not far from mastering the rules.
Walking through a few stores, I saw a toy store, but the door was tightly closed.
The two had to ask the neighbor, a mutton pie seller: "Boss, is the toy store next door closed?"
The owner of mutton patties: "Just closed the store and went back to sleep."
Luo Ye looked at the shining candles around him: "Go back to sleep?"
The owner of the mutton shop disagreed: "Go to sleep when you are sleepy."
Ke Xun suddenly found that a nearby shop was also about to close, and felt something was wrong: "Why do you have to close?"
"Close the door when you want to sleep. We don't stipulate that the door must be open all the time." The owner of the mutton shop was a little unhappy when he found that the two did not intend to buy mutton patties.
Ke Xun looked at the big mutton patty that the boss was baking. It was divided into many layers. The roasted minced mutton was very fresh, and it was covered with pepper tempeh. The taste was very tempting.
"How about we come here at noon?" Ke Xun said.
Luo Meng was already hungry, and the aroma of the mutton patty was too tempting: "Okay, that's it! I've never seen such a big mutton patty before!"
"Our Gulouzi is a famous food from the Four Brigades! Everyone who comes to the Lantern Brigade will have to try it!" The boss quickly became enthusiastic, "This big piece is enough for three men, how much do you two want, I will give it to you. cut!"
Ke Xun did the math: "Let's get four first."
"Okay!!" The boss's voice was loud, but he didn't expect to meet such a large number of customers.
Ke Xun further smiled and said, "We are quite casual about opening stores here. If we are sleepy, we will be sleepy. If we say it is closed, we will close. If we come to you to buy it next time, can we buy it?"
After pondering all the way, Ke Xun seemed to vaguely understand what the 'taboo' was.
Luo Yu also hurriedly said, "Yes, boss, if it's delicious, we'll have dinner..."
Ke Xun slapped Luo Xun hard and told him to shut up immediately. At this time, he smiled and said, "If it's delicious, we'll eat all your cakes!"
After hearing this, the boss was very happy: "Don't worry, our store will only close when the lights are turned off. As long as the lights are turned on, the store will start opening up immediately! My brother and I run the store together, and it is not easy to make cakes on shifts. So tired."
The boss is very agile. He has already cut out four large pieces of mutton patties with a knife. The color is golden and the meat filling is revealed. It looks very delicious.
Ke Xun thought for a while, and then asked carefully, "We are new here, are the lights going out now?"
The boss stopped what he was doing, holding the knife in his right hand and the cake on the table in his left hand. His face was filled with confusion, as if he had suddenly lost his memory.
Luo Menger trembled and dragged Ke Xun back a few steps, afraid that the NPC would suddenly run away.
About half a minute later, the boss seemed to come back to his senses: "Look at me, what the hell are you doing, Gulouzi will not taste good when it's cold! Hurry up and dress it up for you!"
Ke Xun didn't say any more. He took a large paper-wrapped mutton patty from the boss, paid for it, and asked again, "By the way, where can you sell magnifying glasses?"
The boss thought for a while: "There is a toy store next to it. If there is a Bright Brigade dealer in the market, maybe you can buy it!" Come on, you never lack those rare things in your hands."
Ke Xun smiled and said, "It may be that I can't find it anywhere. I'll look for it when I go back."
Luo Xun followed Ke Xun out of the store: "Oh my god, we broke a taboo just now, the boss almost..."
"It's time." Ke Xun said in a low voice, the surroundings were relatively quiet at this time, and there were not too many people.
"time?"
"Yes, I broke the taboo for the first time because I asked 'when will the caravan selling magnifying glasses come back', which is a relatively clear point in time. The second time I almost broke the taboo, because I asked 'Is the light going to go out soon', which is another time point, but maybe I asked more casually, so it didn't cause a strong reaction from the NPC." Ke Xun put himself analysis said.
Luo Meng thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense: "However, when people talk on a daily basis, they will inevitably talk about the time, such as 'what time is it', 'when are you coming', 'is the lights going out?' ,', 'Sleep whenever you want, Jio when are you sleeping'…”
"So, we'd better avoid talking to NPCs, and we must pay attention to taboo words when we have to." Ke Xun did not expect that this world is so complicated, and there are so many taboos in communicating with NPCs.
When the two returned to the meeting place, Wei Dong and the others were already waiting there.
Cao Youning ran over with a look of joy: "Did you buy something delicious?!"
Luo Yao: "You are more greedy than I am. I just thought that you bought a magnifying glass."
Cao Youning rubbed his hands excitedly when he saw the mutton patties, and complained to Luo Meng: "There is nothing to buy in the market, it's all needles and threads, pigs, sheep, dogs and rabbits."
"Why are pigs, sheep, dogs and rabbits?"
"Yes, there are people who sell live animals," Cao Youning nodded. "Those sheep are so annoying!" Then he looked at the mutton pie in Ke Xun's hand, it seemed that he ate the mutton pie for revenge.
Wei Dong, who was waiting there, took over the words: "Except pigs and sheep, other animals don't bark."
"Other? What else?" Luo Yan asked.
"rabbit."
"Rabbits don't bark at all."
"Dogs, like Xinchun, are dumb." Wei Dong said.
Fang Fei also said: "There are also chickens, those roosters don't seem to croak."
Luo Yi: Is it the fighting chicken Oye in the legendary rooster that lays eggs
Wei Dong spread his hands: "We thought it was unusual and asked. The boss said that's how chickens croak, gugugu, and roosters croak like this. If you ask too many questions, the boss gets anxious and almost ran away on the spot."
