Hongjia Tea Shop is 8 kilometers away from the Blue City, and it is the former station of the Blue City. It has a superior geographical location and leads in all directions.
Basically, the passing guests would stop at the Hongjia tea shop to inquire about the news and have something to eat. Many people like Liu Wei'an who have never been to the Blue City know nothing about the Blue City. The Hong Family Tea Shop is the best place to get information. As long as they have money, the Hong Family Tea Shop basically has no Can't fix things.
The name of the Hong Family Tea House says it is a tea shop. In fact, the most famous dish is a dish called Loach Drilled Tofu. A dish. Instead, it is tea, which is not well-known.
When Liu Wei'an and others arrived, it was exactly 11:30, and it was time for dinner. The Hong's tea shop was almost full, and tables were filled with people on the flat grass. Liu Wei'an glanced at it, and there were more than 80 long tables, and an average of eight people per table, there are more than 600 people here.
These are people from the outside, servants and subordinates of the three religions and nine classes, and there are also master-level figures sitting inside. The Hong family tea shop is divided into three floors. Even if each table is not full, there are more than one hundred people in total. As expected of the Blue City, there are so many people in one front station. Black Dragon City does not have such a scale.
There are no single vacant tables, only a crowded table. However, there are many people in Liu Wei'an, and it would be too scattered to squeeze the empty seats. Tong Xiaoxiao went to the shop waiter to discuss, and when the gold coins increased to 10 gold coins, he agreed to add another table.
"The price has increased again. Last time I heard that they only need 2 gold coins to add a table." Tong Xiaoxiao said back.
"Could it be to blackmail you on purpose? I'll talk to them." The black-faced god stared.
"The Hong family tea shop has a big backstage, so you can't offend them. Even if it's blackmail, you can only endure it." Tong Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled him.
"What background?" The black-faced god didn't care, he used to bully others in Mogu'shan, but now that he's stronger, he naturally doesn't want to be bullied by a junior with only Bronze rank.
"I don't know, but people passing by, no matter how high their status is, dare not offend the Hong family's tea shop." Tong Xiaoxiao said.
"The Tulip Chamber of Commerce is controlled by three major families, and the Hong family is one of them." A gentle voice came from the side.
"Thank you for clarifying the confusion!" Liu Wei'an turned his head, and had noticed this man a long time ago. He was dressed in a white shirt, handsome as jade, holding a folding fan, smiling, and stood out from the crowd.
There were only two people at this table, but the four tables in the front, back, left, and left were full. They ate in silence and were extremely quiet. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were their guards.
The other person has red lips and white teeth, and is handsome, but it is a woman dressed as a man, with fair skin, which can be recognized at a glance. It can also be seen from his demeanor and demeanor that he is a young man's maid or something.
"It's not a secret. Many people know it, so there's no need to worry about it." The young man said with a smile.
At this time, the shop waiter moved the tables and chairs, Liu Weian didn't say anything to the young man, just turned around and sat down while clasping his hands together.
The dishes are not rich, but they are not simple. The ingredients are all monsters, such as triangular yaks, hyena-toothed giant pigs, three-tailed foxes, black-armored demon wolves, and even five-level monsters such as colorful black tigers. The price is astonishingly high. 128 gold coins.
Yan'er was in charge of ordering, while Liu Wei'an was looking at the menu, but found that the signature dish of Hong's tea shop, loach, was not on the menu.
Drilling tofu, I couldn't help asking what was going on.
"The guest officer doesn't know something." It is estimated that the dishes ordered by Yan'er are relatively expensive, and the waiter's attitude is very good, "This small shop is only responsible for the cooking, but not the materials. The guests need to prepare the materials themselves. If you want to eat The customers of Loach Drilling Tofu catch the loach by themselves, and then process it in this small shop.”
"Why?" Liu Wei'an was puzzled. One more process, a little more trouble, but much more profit. There are no business people who don't understand this truth, and it is impossible for the Hong family tea shop to think that there is too much money.
"It's too dangerous to catch black loach, and the small shop is not strong enough, so customers have to bring it themselves." Xiao Er explained.
Liu Wei'an smiled, noncommittal, and didn't believe Xiao Er's statement, and Xiao Er didn't care, and said, "customers have some tea first, and the food will be served soon" and went down to greet other tables.
"I've heard people say that catching black loach is indeed a very dangerous thing." Lu Yan said.
"Have you seen Sister Lu?" Yan'er asked.
Lu Yan was about to answer when she was interrupted by a thunderous hoofbeat. The road leading to the blue city was full of smoke and dust, and it seemed that there was a large group of horses coming, all of which were first-class horses, and the leader was riding a rare lion colt. The so-called lion colt was a horse with a lion head It is a kind of monster with powerful attack power and the ability to run long distances, and has all the advantages of lions and horses. It is rumored that the lion foal was bred by the aborigines. Whether it is true or not is unknown, but the lion foal is rare even among the aborigines. Only people with status such as chiefs are eligible to own it. A human player owns a lion foal, and nothing else Said that the status must be extremely high.
"The little devil king is coming!"
I don't know who yelled, and in an instant, it seemed like an earthquake was coming to Hong's tea shop, and everyone was in chaos. The players frantically rushed in all directions, the tables and chairs were knocked to the side, and some people collided with each other and rolled into a ball... A few hundred meters away from the Hongjia teahouse was a dense forest, when a third of the people rushed When entering the dense forest, a team of horses came in front of them, and a fierce aura rushed towards them.
Nie Pohu, Lu Yan, Heimian Shen and others all showed vigilant expressions. There were more than 50 people in the team, and there were 10 gold-level masters, accounting for one-fifth, and the rest were silver-level.
When did a gold-level master become a common commodity? Lu Yan and Tong Xiaoxiao looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes. When they were wandering around the rivers and lakes, it was rare for them to even meet a few top silverware masters. So many gold-level masters came out.
Whether the world is changing too fast, or they can't keep up with the rhythm, for a while, both of them are a little confused.
Liu Wei'an's eyes fell on the young man riding on the lion's horse. He was about 25 years old, tall and handsome, with vicious and crazy rays of light from his long and narrow eyes, and a smile at the corner of his mouth, showing a sense of coldness. This is a person who feels difficult to get along with at first glance.
He only has the strength of the late silver level, but the aura exuding from his body, even if the 10 gold level masters behind him can't match it, he must be the little devil in people's mouth.
"How dare you run, catch them for me." Seeing that all the players in Hong's teahouse had run away, the little demon king was furious. He pointed his horsewhip, and the gold-ranked master behind him shot out like a flying arrow.
"ah-"
"Um!"
"
don't want-"
…
Amidst the screams, the players running behind fell to the ground one after another. They were not injured, but their actions were stopped. Those who run behind are all people with relatively low strength. Those who are higher are in the early silver stage, and those who are lower are still in the bronze stage. Where are the opponents of gold-level masters? Basically, they can subdue with one move. At that time, more than 50 people were already lying on the ground.
The gold-level masters stopped chasing, and the silver-level masters who arrived later tied up the fallen players one by one with ropes. Judging by their skillful techniques, they must have done this not once or twice.
"Let's go, catch the black loach." The little devil lifted the rein triumphantly, and the lion foal turned in one direction and roared away. The others mounted their horses to catch up. The speed of the lion foal is too fast, even if it only uses a little strength, others have to go all out to catch up.
"Let's go, let's go take a look too." Among the more than 600 people, almost two-thirds escaped, that is, more than 400 people, and about 200 people did not escape. Liu Wei'an guessed that these people were servants and subordinates of the big family, with different identities, and the little devil was not willing to provoke them easily.
At this moment, these people couldn't help following the little devil to see how to catch the black loach.
"Boss, let's go take a look too." The black-faced god looked excited.
"Okay." Liu Wei'an was also very curious about why the famous loach catcher wanted to mobilize so many people and arrest people.
Black Loach Pond is only half a kilometer away from the Hong Family Teahouse, and it will arrive in a few minutes. Before getting close, I already feel a chill. When I get close, the severe cold makes people shiver uncontrollably.
Black Loach Pond is a deep pool with a diameter of more than 20 meters. It has an irregular oval shape and can be said to be very large. The depth is unknown, but black mud can be seen about 30 meters away from the mouth of the pool, and the fallen leaves do not float, which is very scary. The black loach that many people eat and taste is in this deep pool.
As the cold air intensified as they approached the deep pool, bronze-level players dared not approach at a distance of 50 meters, otherwise they would frostbite their upper bodies. Silver-level players basically stopped at 20 meters away, and only gold-level players dared to enter ten within meters.
Everyone's strength is high or low, in front of the Black Loach Pond, it is clear at a glance, but it is not absolute. Like the little devil equipped with cold-resistant equipment, he can also reach the edge of the black loach pool.
Each piece of equipment like this is very precious, and only big families have it. Ordinary players can only think about it.
When Liu Wei'an, Lu Yan and the others arrived, they happened to see silver-level masters grabbing players and throwing them into the Black Loach Pool. More than 30 people were thrown in one breath. come out. After falling into the mud, the player sank quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When the bodies of these players were dropped, they were slapped by a gold-ranked expert, and the confinement was released, but the time of release was just the moment they touched the mud, and the calculation was very precise.
The mud was like the mouth of a beast, and it was impossible to break free after falling into it. These players struggled fiercely, but none of them could break free from the mud and rushed out, screaming in despair and disappearing into the mud.
The silver class is no longer ashamed, and the Black Loach Lake has calmed down. Everyone looked at the Black Loach Pond nervously. About a minute later, the Black Loach Pond moved, and the mud rippled in a circle, and then the movement increased, as if some living things were moving through the mud.
"Come out!" The little devil showed joy on his face.
