Bei Ye praised: "Zuiwu is becoming more and more virtuous. You used to serve him, but now she can serve you?"
Chu Mubai chuckled, and then said: "You should be lucky if she cooks it earlier. I usually don't dare to eat it, so I'm going to test it on you!"
Kitano stared and said, "Hey - no! Is it really that bad to eat?"
After washing up, Kitano, who did not believe in evil, decided to risk his own life and try the breakfast prepared by Miss Lan. He opened the basket and saw all kinds of weird food steamed inside. The buns did not look like buns, and the caterpillars did not look like caterpillars.
He could only tilt his head and praise awkwardly: "Uh... it's colorful, and it looks pretty good!"
"Ah!" Yuan Yanyan came over and whispered: "It doesn't look good, so why do you praise the color?"
Chu Mubai on the side suppressed his laughter and looked at the two of them.
Bei Ye picked up the chopsticks, prepared to eat, and asked: "Mu Bai, what exactly does Zui Wu do? Please introduce it to me!"
Chu Mubai leaned closer and said seriously: "This is a conch bun, this is a starfish bun, this is a sea bee bun, and this is a sea fish bun!"
Bei Ye stared at the crooked caterpillar in disbelief and said, "This...is a sea fish? Isn't it a caterpillar?"
Chu Mubai shook his head and corrected: "Well... no, it's a sea fish!"
Kitano couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh! Then he stamped his feet hard! "Zuiwu... Zuiwu's imagination is really rich!"
Yang Yanyan said: "Forget about caterpillars, what the hell is this sea bee? Are there bees in the sea?"
Chu Mubai crossed his arms and said seriously: "Don't worry about whether it's there or not. Why don't you try it first and see how it tastes?"
Yangyan extended his hand to touch his hungry belly, picked up the chopsticks, put a starfish bun in his mouth, chewed it carefully, then frowned and said, "Wow - what the hell is this?"
He immediately vomited it out. Chu Mubai stepped forward and looked at the starfish bun, which was white with black inside, and carefully recorded: "Well...this one is stuffed with black sesame filling!"
Yang Yan extended his finger and pointed at him and said, "Bah! It's not black sesame. It smells like beans."
Chu Mubai said: "I understand, it must have been confused when Zui Wu cooked the black sesame seeds."
Yang Yanyan said in confusion: "Ah? Zui Wu, doesn't she know that black sesame seeds are wrapped in steamed buns and then steamed together with the steamed buns?"
Chu Mubai said, "It's good if she can cook the black sesame seeds. What else do you expect from her?"
Yang Yanyan shook his head and sighed: "Oh... Mu Bai, I really admire you! If you are unfortunate enough to marry Zui Wu as your wife in the future, you will definitely starve to death!"
Chu Mubai smiled slightly, and then said: "That's not the case, I will cook it for her, but this girl also wants to try cooking herself. Unfortunately, she has no talent in this area! But her medical skills are so good , and so cute, but it’s okay to cook! I can do it anyway!”
Bei Ye and Yuan Yanyan immediately rolled their eyes at him. Yuan Yanyan looked at the colorful and strange food in the cage in front of him, feeling like colorful poisonous mushrooms, and he no longer dared to dabble in it.
Seeing that the two little white mice were unwilling to risk their lives, Chu Mubai had no choice but to give them the breakfast he had prepared in advance.
Kitano said doubtfully: "Since you have prepared breakfast, why don't you take it out for us to eat first!"
Chu Mubai narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "It was Zuiwu Qian Dingzhu Wan who told me to let you try her craftsmanship!"
Kitano clasped his hands together and said, "Please, please never go to the kitchen again, okay? Stop harming innocent people, okay?"
While Yang Yanyan was eating the breakfast made by Chu Mubai with relish, he nodded and said: "Yeah! Beiye is right. After you call Zuiwu, you'd better become a pharmacist. Don't cook for others anymore." , it will kill people!"
The market in the center of Zhuilan Kingdom City was bustling with activity. Yunyin led the horse and led Ye Zhenfeng through the market. Looking at the dazzling array of gadgets in the market, Ye Zhenfeng felt filled with emotions. In the center of the city,
People's lives are obviously better than those in coastal areas.
No wonder Yunyin and the others don't want to catch more fish to sell. They just want to maintain food and clothing. It's not that they don't want to make progress, it's just because of the money they saved from fishing hard that they can't even get a piece of land in this city where land is precious. If you can’t buy any leftover materials, why bother?
Besides, once they have surplus food, the court starts to try to take advantage of them and increase their taxes. Even if they work hard, they will only accumulate wealth for the court. Poor people like them will never have excess wealth in their hands.
Only in this way can the court control them and squeeze their labor, financial resources, and life's energy. They are always the mules and horses being whipped, always chasing the carrot that cannot be eaten.
Therefore, they would rather wander on the sea and live a life of no fixed abode than become slaves of the imperial court. Therefore, the imperial court probably would not care about their life and death, and would allow them to become Aluogu's food rations rather than send troops. Go to war.
To a certain extent, they have long been the rations fed to Aluogu by the imperial court. As long as Aluogu does not invade the center of the city, the high-ranking officials and nobles here can still sing and dance in peace, play songs every night, and be drunk and dreamy. Will feel the life and death of the outside world.
All they care about is whether the human wall surrounding Aluogu is enough. However, there are many poor people in the world. Without three generations of poverty, one cannot become a complete poor person.
But accumulating wealth for three generations may not necessarily make you a rich man, so there are still far more poor people than rich people. They can relax and live leisurely for another hundred years.
Ye Zhenfeng asked Yunyin: "Has King Zhuilan investigated A Luogu's return to the island? There should be a reason for this. That guy will not come back for no reason. Maybe he can find someone who summoned him back again. , is the key to solving the problem!"
Yunyin shook his head and said:
"The people in Zhuilan Kingdom changed their minds after hearing the news. No one dared to mention Aluogu. At first, King Zhuilan even ordered that anyone who mentioned him would be imprisoned. It was as if he wanted to wipe out Aluogu's existence. Normally, but this ostrich-like approach is useless."
"Even if you bury your head in the sand, Aluogu still exists, and the danger still exists. We are the only people who are suffering. Fortunately, you are here this time. You are our savior, Mr. Ye, this time Apart from Aluogu, we are all counting on you."
"If you don't come, we don't know how many people will be buried in the mouth of that evil god. Our fathers died in his mouth. I'm afraid that in the future when we have children, we will suffer the same fate as our fathers and become the court's surrender." If we feed the evil god, our descendants will continue our tragic fate from generation to generation. They cannot escape from here and suffer day and night. It can be called a hell on earth!"
Ye Zhenfeng nodded, and then said to Yunyin: "Master Yun, don't worry, since we are here this time, we will not stand idly by. But after all, Aluogu is not a mortal, but a god. We have to deal with him. It’s not easy.”
Yunyin nodded, then pointed at a white spire behind the stacks of yellow houses and said, "Mr. Ye, you see, that is the white pagoda that used to worship A Luogu, and the medicine shop not far ahead is This is the largest medicine shop in Zhuilan Kingdom. I want to go there to buy medicine for my brother. You only need to follow this road towards the White Tower and you will find the White Tower."
Ye Zhenfeng nodded, and then said to Yunyin: "Yunyin, your brother's condition cannot be delayed. You can go back after buying the medicinal materials! I want to investigate the matter of Aluogu in depth, and I may stay in the city for a few days. day."
Yunyin nodded: "Young Master Ye, thank you for your hard work! You should be more careful, I'll go first!"
Ye Zhenfeng nodded and watched Yun Yin lead the horse towards the medicine shop, and then headed towards the market alley he directed.
Although the alley is narrow, both sides are still crowded with vendors. Because it is close to the sea, there are many jewelry with marine elements for sale here, such as wind chimes made of white shells, mirrors made of coral, combs made of fish bones, and combs made of shells. There is a dazzling array of fruit plates and so on.
Night pillow wind passed through the bustling crowd, and soon came to the majestic white tower, which was surrounded by white walls.
When you walk in, it looks like a grand palace, with a white fortress and a golden roof, full of divine light.
Ye Zhenfeng wanted to enter the White Tower to have a look, but was stopped by the soldiers standing outside the door.
Soldier A swaggered and said with authority: "Hey - who are you? How dare you trespass into the White Tower territory!"
Ye Zhenfeng pretended to be a tourist and said, "Master Jun, I'm here from outside. Our big ship passed by Zhuilan Country, so we stopped at the island to reserve water. We just came to Zhuilan Country not long ago, and we don't know much about it yet." Customs and customs, may I ask this military master, where is this place?"
The soldier sneered and said, "It turns out they are from outside. No wonder you don't know. I kindly advise you not to stay here for too long. You don't know about Zhui Lan's feelings and feelings?"
Ye Zhenfeng pretended not to know and shook his head, looking confused.
The soldier snorted coldly, and then said: "Hey! I don't know what's best. I advise you to buy the food and leave as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble!"
Ye Zhenfeng nodded, looked at the white pagoda inside the door, and asked: "It seems to be a temple inside. Those of us who travel by boat have an old saying that when you come to a country, do as the Romans do. Whenever we encounter a temple, we must go in and worship. Yes, for God’s blessing and everything will go smoothly!”
After hearing this, Soldier B raised his head and laughed loudly, and then said to Ye Zhenfeng: "You can worship in other temples, but I advise you not to worship in this one. Do you know what is enshrined here?"
Ye Zhenfeng pretended to be dumb and said, "I don't know!"
