The spring is systematically placed in each willow pavilion, and the rest are scattered on the hillside, forming pools where you can see the gurgling water in the spring. Each pool is different in size, with the largest being two or three square meters. , the smallest one is half a meter in diameter, misty and very misty.
The pleasant mineral smell is released with the heat, and the clear spring water has a natural salty taste.
Lin Chou was very satisfied with the system's arrangement. This natural hot spring always gave people enough freshness and comfort.
"Well... I'll ask Bao Er to order a batch of small horses and place them next to the spring."
Master Shan almost burst into tears thinking about a group of hunters with arms thicker than normal people's waists squatting in rows on the pony. That scene, tsk!
Lin Chou didn't feel there was anything wrong with his thoughts at all. This was called Ying Jing'er.
He casually took out a few low-level exotic beasts from the cold storage, cut them into thin slices of meat, and got some wild vegetables and other vegetables, and cooked them around the spring. Everyone was sweating profusely from the hot pot meal.
Afterwards, a group of people lay faceless on the hillside and patted their bellies.
Qin Wuyong sighed,
"Hiccup, this is fucking life...it's like art..."
Shen Feng fired the gun right there.
"The art of living is to make money, right?"
Lin Chou suddenly said to Leng Han,
"How about going shopping with me in the afternoon?"
Leng Han blinked, as if he didn't quite understand.
"shop?"
Special treatment in special times, the tide of beasts has made Mingguang full of food, and it is estimated that the business of places like Xiaoguan and Bafanglou will plummet for a long time in the future.
Evolvers have saved enough exotic animal ingredients for squandering, and there are many little-known medicinal food restaurants in Mingguang that are doing processing on behalf of customers. There is really no need for Evolvers to deal with Lao Xue and others who charge high fees in this regard. The famous chef is obsessed with it.
As for Lin Chou himself, it is even more impossible. He has no such business at all.
After every beast wave, even Bafanglou will avoid some business risks in appropriate ways. The simplest one is to reduce the supply of dishes using wild animals as raw materials for a long period of time, and instead launch a large number of "Shanghai-style" dishes , well, that is to say, a targeted attack on the precious ingredients in the sea.
The functional difference between the wild beasts and the ocean beasts in the Dark Sea is quite large, and the evolvers would not mind using a little savings in exchange for any opportunity to increase their strength.
Although Mingguang is close to the sea, seafood and marine animals have always been relatively rare. The crisis hidden in the dark sea cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. All evolutionists know that once a ship going out to sea crashes, the person on the ship will The chance that a person, whether an evolved person or an ordinary person, can return to the light alive is infinitely close to zero.
The benefits are exciting. After every beast tide, it is often the beginning of the craze for going to sea, and the seafood market will naturally rise to the forefront.
For example, Lin Chou knew that there was a dock market near Zhengdong Gate, where sea hunting teams and fishermen would gather. Everything from ordinary ingredients to rare marine animals were sold. The dock market and markets No. 11 and 7 It's completely different. It's a place where there are no fixed stalls or merchants. What stuff appears depends entirely on luck, just like Taobao.
Such a place is simply paradise for a cook, but Lin Chou had never had the opportunity to experience it before.
The small blackboard poked at the door and set off.
In fact, it doesn't matter if there is a small blackboard or not, there will be no customers at all in the past few days.
After standing on Sigouzi's back for a long time, Leng Han's expression was still a little dazed.
Hey, shopping? I haven't heard this word in many years.
What is there to see in Mingguang...
etc! Is he going to take me shopping... Then what do other people do when they go shopping...
What should I buy? What should I buy? How should I do it?
Since I don’t know how to go shopping, he won’t think I’m weird, right?
Hmm, it seems that two sets of armors are broken. Do you want to take them to a store to have them repaired?
In short, Leng Han's current mentality can basically be described in one sentence:
It’s my first time shopping, I’m so nervous. How can I pretend to be experienced? I’m waiting online. It’s quite urgent!
Si Gouzi walked around the main west gate and headed east from the north side of Mingguang.
Leng Han asked strangely,
"Aren't you going shopping...where are you going?"
Lin Chou said,
"Wharf Market, there won't be much business in the small restaurants in the past few days. Go and see if you can find some good things. Rare ingredients will not appear in places like No. 11 and No. 7 Markets. You can only find them by yourself. , Go and touch it, there are some in the dock market, and even the No. 1 auction house may not have them!"
Leng Han said oh,
"It turned out to be a visit to the vegetable market..."
Lin Chou turned around,
"Ah? What did you say..."
"nothing!!"
It sounds like there is a sound of grinding teeth.
Lin Chou scratched his head. He was fine just now, but his expression suddenly turned cold.
"Woman..."
Lin still hasn't realized that he seems to have made a big mistake: he actually wants to take the cold Tyrannosaurus to the wet market... No, no, this guy actually dares to take his girlfriend to the wet market? !
Leash the four dogs and enter the city through the east gate.
Passing through two alleys from behind Mingguang Port, the view suddenly opens up.
Well, actually it was suddenly dark.
The huge crowds of people filled the sky.
It was wet everywhere, and the ground was full of fishy sea water.
This was originally a very wide street with rows of villa-style buildings on both sides, but now the street has been occupied by stalls of various sizes, even in the villas on both sides of the road. People coming and going were either loudly bargaining or shouting, talking, and telling dirty jokes.
Taking into account the entire street and the buildings on both sides of the street, this is the dock market.
At the entrance, two dark-skinned fourth-order evolvers stretched out their arms to stop Lin Chou, and slapped a card into his arms.
"Together? To buy something? Three thousand circulation points. I will return it to you with the receipt. If you dare to cause trouble, the money will be gone. You know!"
It was simple and rude, and he didn't ask Lin Chou what he meant at all.
Leng Han's eyebrows immediately stood up. Lin Chou pulled her and handed her the money to go in.
"Hey, don't be so angry. Every place has its own rules."
Leng Han gave a muffled hum and turned back to take a deep look at the "doorman" with cold eyes.
The guard rubbed his arms nonchalantly and said to his companion,
"Niang Xipi, that little girl actually glared at me... Her eyes were quite sharp, like an angry female leopard."
The companion laughed, baring his white teeth.
"Enough...have you seen the shoulder shape? He should be someone who wears heavy armor all year round and is part of the garrison?"
"You're a fourth-level girl. If you twist that little waist, I'm afraid it could directly kill the pretty boy next to you. Hehe, can you bear it?"
"Tempted?"
"Shit... we just smell like salted fish. Do you think a bitch like that would like us?"
"That's right... the shift will be handed over in a while. Let's walk up Xinghua Lane? A batch of hard currency from the upper city came to Qian'er Xihailou. Tsk tsk. The house was just confiscated by the police. I heard that it used to be a big family. , this time the beast wave probably did not pay enough protection fee, hey, even the young ladies did not escape and were sent into the alley one by one. They are bidding, there is no original product, don’t blame brother, I don’t have it. Let me know, are you interested?"
"..."
Leng Han's arm was held by Lin Chou, which made her face a little red even though there was a layer of sleeves between them, and she forgot about the long conversation between the two doormen.
Lin Chou said naggingly,
"Don't lose it... there is a puddle in front of you... keep an eye on it... be careful, don't get your clothes dirty."
Seeing Lin Chou moving with ease among the crowd, Leng Han couldn't help but ask,
"Do you come often?"
"This is my first time here. I often visit other markets..."
Lin Chou turned around, trembling.
"My ancestor, please put away the original armor. Isn't this offending?"
Leng Han snorted and put away his dazzling Origin Armor obediently.
The eyes of passers-by around him were quite frightened and surprised, as if they were looking at gods.
They saw with their own eyes just now that this girl collided lightly with a fourth-level advanced evolver with ill intentions, and then the source armor of the two people's passive defense suddenly burst open, and the other evolver's source armor exploded during the collision. It shattered like an egg shell, and then there was a cracking sound of bones. Oh my god, who is this guy? The strength of this armor would probably scare even a fifth-level boss!
Lin Chou led Leng Han from stall to stall and said,
"There are many people in this place, so bumps and bruises are inevitable. But Sister Leng, you won't have to take out all the original armor. It would be bad if you hurt someone..."
Leng Han said doubtfully,
"Why? It's not my fault that they are low in strength."
"..."
Lin Chou had no way to refute what he said.
Lin Chou was about to explain friendship, harmony and mutual respect to Leng Tyrannosaurus when he saw a big man with scars on his face reaching out to touch Leng Han's shoulder.
After confirming the angle, it was a crazy look in his eyes, and he slapped him without thinking.
"Grass, blind your dog's eyes"
"Click..."
"boom!"
"Boom..."
The big man broke through the crowd and flew directly into the garden of a certain villa, smashing two pavilions and a rockery before stopping.
"Fuck, what's going on?"
"The show is coming..."
"It's fighting? It's fighting again ... Jean Jean, what is the lively ..."
After squeezing for a long time, there was no room to move, so this person took advantage of it.
"Let me see, damn, get out of the way, it's my brother who's being beaten!"
The crowd suddenly made way for a road, and Lin Chou reached out and picked up the man, staring at him.
"The old gangster who did this is your brother? Do you want to be beaten or do you want to avenge him?"
The man looked confused.
"ha??"
Neither the one who was beaten nor the one who was not beaten had any objections, and the farce passed without beginning or end.
Lin Chou said puzzledly,
"Is this person a fool? He could throw a brick in a place like this and break out dozens of fourth-level bricks... It's a pity that my three thousand tickets are all lost now..."
Leng Han didn't have time to say from beginning to end that the man just broke his arm and wanted to come up to ask for an explanation.
"Champagne crab, a large champagne crab weighing more than 40 pounds, has already transitioned from level zero to level one~"
"Huh?"
Lin Chou brought Leng Han up to him.
"Champagne crab, where is it?"
The man who yelled was a very strong man, at least two and a half meters tall. He probably looked like a child in the Wandering Demon Station, and his sinewy skin had a leather-like texture.
"Hahaha... This little brother knows his stuff right away. Let me tell you, within this radius of a thousand nautical miles, I am the only one who can bring you champagne crabs from the sea!"
The third-order evolver who called himself Lao Mao opened a large metal water tank more than five meters long.
"Boom Ka"
"Dong dong"
Such sounds kept coming from the water tank.
Lin Chou went over to take a look, and saw a large, light yellow crab with spikes all over its body venting its anger in the water tank. Every time its large pliers hit the metal tank wall, a large number of sparks flew up.
Lin Chou was stunned by the aura of a victorious general.
Lao Mao smiled and said,
"Little brother, how are you doing? Is it lively enough?"
"It's quite lively..."
If this is not fresh, then you will never be able to look directly at the word fresh again.
Lao Mao laughed heartily, with a cheerful expression on his face.
"Brother, do you want it? If it's one pound or four thousand for the first level, it's not negotiable. Unfortunately, I can't wait for it that long. It can be half a year or three months at most. If it doesn't advance successfully, you can slap me in the face with me, Lao Mao. Set up a stall here...hey, how about it, if you weigh eight hundred pounds per pound, at least forty-seven or eight pounds, I'll give you forty pounds, how about that?"
Lin Chou took a breath. Even the most precious zero-level ingredients in the wilderness, such as the delicious hazel chicken, usually cost no more than 200 points per catty. This seafood is different after all!
Lao Mao said,
"Is this your first time, little brother? Hey, let me tell you, you may not know how rare this champagne crab is. You don't even expect to see it in this entire market except me, Lao Mao. Besides, wait for it. If you upgrade, it won’t be at this price, it will have special effects!”
"Um??"
This thing has special effects?
Lao Mao’s mysterious secret way,
"Eating first-order champagne crab will increase your body's surface area by nine percent when you accidentally fall into the water, even if you can't swim. Nine percent is still absolutely worth it! Do you know what this means? , this is a special effect that can save lives!”
If he hadn't known that this old Comrade Mao had good intentions, Lin Chou would have really wanted to slap him in the face and say "Fuck you, mother."
Do it on purpose!
Why the hell is it not enough for me to surface 100%, so I need another 9%?
Seeing the customer's face suddenly darken, Lao Mao was stunned.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you..."
The guy at the stall next to him laughed loudly,
"Bah, you're shameless. You'll understand what's going on when you look at it. The broken champagne crab is not a special effect. If you really go out to sea and fall into the water, you have to die. You should keep your broken crab to fool you. Those students in the martial arts school are waiting to hook up in the dark sea, hahaha... Those students can't stand the special effects related to water, and they are sure to scream and jump up, and they will fool you every time! "
Old Mao babbled and gritted his teeth and said,
"Then let me give you a little more, seven hundred and five! The special effects are a little watered down, but it's better than nothing, but the taste of my champagne crab is real. Does Brother Xue of Bafanglou know that he has to be here every month? Let’s get a batch of goods here for no other reason than to enjoy the delicious food!”
Lin Chou tentatively said,
"Then... seven hundred, I want it."
Lao Mao bit him to death.
"Cash and card? Packaged with ice or without ice? Delivered to your door, guaranteed!"
Yes, ****, it’s too expensive to buy a designated one!
Lin Chou twitched the corner of his mouth, checked his ID card with Lao Mao and paid the money.
After the identity information is confirmed, no one can deny it.
Lao Mao took out a piece of paper,
"Here, write the address on it and I'll send it to you when the market closes. Of course, you can take it back yourself!"
Lin Chou wrote a few words casually, turned around and left, with a dark look on his face after being brutally slaughtered.
Lao Mao held the note and showed it off to the guys at the stall next to him while reading it.
"Wow, what a fat fish. Thank you for your cooperation, brother..."
The neighbor next door cursed,
"What a dog's day, what a piece of shit luck!"
Suddenly, Lao Mao let out a strange cry,
"Damn it, this guy is playing tricks on me!!"
The guy at the stall next to him took the note and looked at it,
"Directly outside the west gate, two hundred kilometers away, is the Yanhui Shanlin Family Inn...poof..."
He patted Lao Mao seemingly sympathetically, but in fact his face was full of gloating.
"I promised to deliver it even on my knees. Big breasted brother, you can do it. The straight-line distance is only 380 kilometers. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the gas cost is less than 2,000!"
"Wait, there seems to be something wrong! The Lin family restaurant? Damn it... He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, can't be Lin Chou, the 'Emperor of the Sea'..."
"Gah??"
The guy next door almost swallowed his tongue.
"You... have made a lot of money..."
Lin Chou, who couldn't be picked up by many people, just met him like this?
This back and forth, the story... bah bah, isn't there a friendship!
Lao Mao looked serious,
"Speaking of which, there was Bingshan standing next to me just now and not speaking..."
"Beauty, big beauty!!"
"Do you think she looks like the same person?"
"Eh?!"
Take a breath,
"hiss!"
in unison,
"Cold Tyrannosaurus?!"
"..."
"Damn, it's been a hell of a day today, I think I need a doctor..."
"Let's go together."
The two were stunned for a while, and the neighbor suddenly said to Lao Mao,
"Hey, Maozi, take me with you when you deliver the goods."
"No, get out!"
"Xihai Tower, I'm treating you to the second floor!"
"I still need a driver."
"I will handle it."
"Actually, my car is out of gas..."
"I will handle it!"
"I..."
"Don't go too far, I'm telling you!"
"Hey, just kidding, who among us brothers is following whom~"
