"Brother Zhou, you and your sister-in-law will come to my place for a drink later. I ordered the best wine and the best dishes here."
Zhang Xiaozu shouted to Zhou Jianlai's yard next door.
"good."
Zhou Jianlai responded.
It's already six o'clock, the sun has set, and it's dinner time.
Zhang Xiaozu led Ye Mingyue out of the garden and walked toward the main hall. As he walked, he asked curiously: "Don't any of them have names?"
Just now he heard the woman in blue calling the two maids "No. 1" and "No. 2".
The woman in blue replied: "They are all poor people who sold themselves to the inn. They may have no names when they come in, or they may have had a name before, but they can no longer use it after they come in. They can only wait until a master takes pity on them and gives them a gift. Name, only then can you have your own name. Otherwise, you will have to stay in the inn all your life as a nameless maid. This slave is a bit luckier than the six of them. Although she has no surname, she at least has a title."
"It's really pitiful."Zhang Xiaozhu sighed.
He did not ask how to give them names, because he could probably guess that giving names should be similar to the redemption in a brothel.
The women in blue did not take the opportunity to ask Zhang Xiaozu for his name.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare.
Because if they accidentally offend and offend the guests, they will be punished extremely cruelly.
The main hall is extremely beautifully decorated with carved beams and paintings.
After visiting the hall, study, side bedroom, guest room, etc., Ye Mingyue curiously asked the woman in blue: "Isn't it a lot of money to stay here for a day?"
"Master, you need five star pills to stay here for one day." The woman in blue replied.
"It's so dark." Ye Mingyue curled her lips.
I thought that if this were placed on Jiuzhou Continent, only ghosts would come and live there.
It's not like there are dragon veins under the ground and you can practice cultivation by living there. It's just a more luxurious palace.
The cost of five star pills a day would probably make many emperors in Jiuzhou Continent scramble to give up their palaces to their benefactors.
Zhang Xiaozu regretted and said, "What a pity. If I had come a month earlier, wouldn't I have earned 150 Star Pills for free? Oh no, 300 for two rooms."
The woman in blue smiled when she heard this, knowing that Zhang Xiaozu was just joking. How could a person who could easily take out three Tongxuan Pills for dinner care about three hundred Star Pills.
Zhang Xiaozu walked to the table and sat down.
A maid immediately and thoughtfully made tea.
The water in the teapot was originally cold, but this maid actually controlled the power of the fire element. She grabbed the handle of the pot with one hand and the bottom of the pot with the other. Flames burst out from her palms, wrapping the entire teapot and boiling the water in the blink of an eye. opened.
Zhang Xiaozu and Ye Mingyue couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw it. They never thought that a maid could be proficient in the field of fire element.
Zhang Xiaozu took the tea cup, blew open the tea leaves on it, took a sip, and his eyes lit up.
He has been in Tianwaitian for so long, and this is the first time he drinks tea seriously. The fragrance of the tea spreads between his lips and teeth as the tea flows, and then flows through his throat and into his stomach. He feels that the tea is soft and silky. Smooth, fragrant and sweet.
"This tea is good. The old man likes tea, so I have to bring him some back." Zhang Xiaozu said, putting down the tea cup.
There is enough spiritual energy in the air of Tianwaitian. Not only the tea produced is delicious, but even the rice and wheat grown in the fields are more delicious than those in Jiuzhou Continent.

"What kind of tea is so expensive? Could it be that it was picked from the fairyland?"
Zhang Xiaozu asked in surprise.
The woman in blue replied: "It is said that these two kinds of tea were picked in a mysterious and foreign land. The tea contains the rules of the great road. If you have a clear understanding, you can understand the great road by drinking tea. There once was a man with a mysterious understanding. The good young master drank tea and became enlightened, breaking through from the Star Saint Realm to the Moon Saint Realm."
"Are these two kinds of tea easy to buy?" Ye Mingyue asked.
In her opinion, drinking tea and becoming enlightened was probably a gimmick deliberately created by the tea merchants. It was just a gift bought for Butcher Zhang. As a new daughter-in-law, she couldn't bear to part with it, so she didn't care whether it was a gimmick or not.
"These two kinds of tea are in short supply. Only regular customers of Qian's tea shop can buy them. However, if the master goes to buy them as a specially invited alchemist, he should be able to buy them." The woman in blue replied.
"Go and have a look tomorrow." Ye Mingyue said, "Please prepare a carriage for us."
"OK."
"I'm going to participate in the preliminary round of alchemy the day after tomorrow, so I have to trouble you to help me prepare a carriage early." Zhang Xiaozu said.
Flying is prohibited in Paradise City, so traveling mainly relies on horse-drawn carriages.
You can also walk quickly.
With Zhang Xiaopeng's cultivation level, walking quickly is not much slower than flying.
But it was obviously more comfortable to take a leisurely ride in a carriage than to rush there in a hurry, so he still preferred a carriage if he could.
The woman in blue was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She obviously didn't expect Zhang Xiaozhu, the specially invited alchemist, to participate in the preliminary competition, but she immediately reacted and said, "This is what a slave should do. Master, although Don’t worry, I’ll make sure everything is properly arranged and won’t delay the master’s game.”
It took half an hour for the maids No. 1 and 2 to bring the food and wine.
It's not that the two of them are slow, but there are three dishes that take a lot of effort to prepare.
Ten dishes and two jars of wine.
Four people sat around a table and tasted this expensive meal.
The wine is good and so is the food.
Zhou Jianlai ordered his maid to buy five altars.
A jar of wine and a Tongxuan Pill are very expensive, but he is most willing to spend money on drinking.
However, the wine is still expensive, otherwise Zhou Jianlai would buy more.
The four of them were drinking happily when a maid came in and reported: "Master, there is a young man named Qian outside the door asking to see you."
"The young man named Qian?" Zhang Xiaozhu was startled when he heard this. He thought that he didn't know anyone named Qian at all. He immediately looked outside the courtyard gate with a subtle attitude and found that it was the young man in Jinyi whom he met at the door of the inn.
Zhou Jianlai and the others had also seen the visiting person with their spiritual consciousness.
"What is he here for?"
Zhang Xiaozu frowned slightly.
During the day, his attitude had been very clear, and he didn't want to get too entangled with this person. Unexpectedly, this person came to his door, which made him a little disgusted.
"Obviously I want to make friends with you, the special alchemist."
Zhou Jianlai smiled.
"Master can choose not to see you. He doesn't dare to be too entangled in the inn, because if he disturbs other guests for no reason, he will be forcibly kicked out." The woman in blue said, "But this Mr. Qian seems to be the fifth person in Qian's tea shop. Young Master, doesn’t the master want to buy tea? Maybe you can ask him for help.”
Zhang Xiaozhu was about to refuse, but after hearing this, he changed his mind and said, "Then please come in."
"Okay." The woman in blue greeted him personally.
"I, Qian Ruoyun, took the liberty of visiting me. Please don't blame me, Master Alchemist." The man surnamed Qian bowed respectfully to Zhang Xiaopou when he entered.
"Don't you dare." Zhang Xiaozu returned the greeting with his hand raised, and said politely: "I don't know if Mr. Qian is here, so it would be rude to not welcome him from afar. I should ask Mr. Qian not to blame him."
"Don't dare." Qian Ruoyun waved his hand.
"The four of us are halfway through drinking, and the leftovers are cold. If Mr. Qian doesn't mind, would you like to sit down and have a few drinks?" Zhang Xiaozhu took the initiative to invite.
"I don't mind it,
Don't dislike it. "Qian Ruoyun waved his hands hurriedly, with the joy in his eyes, and said happily: "It is truly an honor for me to be able to drink at the same table with Mr. Alchemist and these three friends."
He came here just to make friends with Zhang Xiaozu, and was about to lean on the wine table shamelessly, when Zhang Xiaozu actually invited him to sit down, and he was naturally overjoyed.
"Dare you ask Alchemist Master Gao's surname?" Qian Ruoyun asked.
"My surname is Zhang and Xiaopeng. Mr. Qian can just call me by my given name." Zhang Xiaopeng replied.
In the yard next door, Feng Sijun, who was sitting in the garden pavilion drinking alone, suddenly started to look half drunk and half confused. He stood up and looked at Zhang Xiaozhu's yard.
Then he dodged, ignoring the no-flying rules of Paradise City, and appeared at the door of Zhang Xiaozu's hall over the courtyard wall. He shouted into the room with a pair of phoenix eyes wide open, "Who is Zhang Xiaozu?!"
