After struggling for a long time, Feng Xue and Lao Li finally set foot on the land of the new world. The language used in this world is a variant of Yanguo, which is similar to a dialect with a heavier accent. With the knowledge attached to the [Yan Guo] tag, I successfully learned this language.
If I have to say it, this is actually not a coincidence. After all, most of the martial arts world in this world originated from the Yan Kingdom. In addition, the real thing Feng Xue wore when opening the door was a Chinese sword, and the language he used was Yan. Mandarin is not surprising either.
After two crossings, it was already the morning of the second day when we arrived here. At this time, there were many pedestrians on the street, but most of them looked like they were wearing coarse cloth and looking disheveled. Look at the low-slung people on both sides of the street. Even the hawkers were not seen in the houses, so they knew that this place was not a wealthy place.
"Anyway, let's find a place like a wine shop or tea house first." Lao Li said without hesitation, very tactfully. When Feng Xue heard this, she also knew that he wanted to find a well-informed place to inquire about the news, so she didn't object, and the two of them started talking. He found a direction and moved.
But this is not considered wandering. After all, according to simple logic, there will be more wealthy people in the direction where the buildings are higher.
In this city, this pattern has obviously not changed. As the buildings on the street slowly become taller, the street becomes more lively. However, probably because of the time, there are still not many people with weapons on the street. Jianghu people.
"This is the one." Lao Li looked around and fell in love with a two-story restaurant. There was a signboard of "Caitong Inn" hanging in front of the restaurant. The whole structure was made of brick and wood, and the mottled wooden doors looked quite stylish. A bit of a martial arts atmosphere.
Probably attracted by the fabric of their clothes, the waiter greeted the two of them enthusiastically when he saw them, and spoke with a familiar set of industry cuts:
"I don't know if you two guests are going to be working in a hotel or staying in a hotel?"
"Bring your signature dishes to the table." Feng Xue casually picked up a gold coin. Although he didn't know what currency was used in this world, he thought he wouldn't need spiritual stones to have a meal.
The waiter didn't seem to have much effort, but his hands and feet were nimble. When he reached out to catch the gold coin, he felt that the weight was wrong. When he lowered his head and looked at it, although he couldn't recognize the pattern on it, he knew it must be gold.
"Okay, guest officer, please come in!"
Knowing that this customer was not an ordinary customer, the waiter took a quick step and ran towards the kitchen. Feng Xue and Lao Li found a seat by the window in the lobby to sit down, but they casually looked at the surrounding environment.
The inside of this inn looks no different from those restaurants in costume dramas, but it is still early, there are not many guests, and there is no way to talk about the gossip that you want to hear.
"Did you miscalculate?" Feng Xue gave Lao Li a teasing look, but Lao Li ignored him and said to the waiter who came over with a teapot:
"Xiao Er, let me ask you, do you know anything strange happening in the world recently?"
The waiter, who was about to change a pot of good tea for the two distinguished guests, was confused when he was asked this question, and he said with a surprised smile:
"Sir, you are joking. How can a little person like me know about the affairs of the world?"
"This junior class is no good!" Lao Li sighed in his heart, but at least it showed that there is indeed a "jianghu" in this world, so he felt relieved, and immediately put on a kind smile and said:
"It doesn't matter, just say whatever you know. Don't you guys have any masters in this world?"
"This..." When the waiter heard this, his expression was slightly uneasy, but he still whispered:
"Our Sizhou is a good place, but the martial arts is not prosperous. The sect does have the Golden Crow Sect, but you also know that these days, the major sects are not allowed to go down the mountain without a master. If there are any masters, they are only a few masters supported by the government. , we don’t see them more than a few times a year.”
Having said this, the waiter shut his mouth and said:
"Why haven't the dishes for you two guests arrived yet? I'll go help you two."
After that, the waiter quickly disappeared.
Lao Li and Feng Xue looked at each other and although they only said a few words, the content was not much at all.
Putting aside the clueless news that this small town belongs to "Sizhou", the phrase "the place is good, but martial arts is not prosperous" is very strange.
But in martial arts novels, shouldn’t the more outstanding people there are, the more prosperous the martial arts will be?
But looking at it from another perspective, if everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and there is not so much fighting and killing, it seems that it is understandable that martial arts are not good.
But the real problem is that if martial arts is not prosperous, why is there such a strange rule that "you are not allowed to go down the mountain until you become a master".
Or is it actually easy to achieve the so-called "grandmaster" in this world?
The more I think about these things, the more confused I become, but it seems to be common sense, and asking casual questions is likely to attract unnecessary attention.
Although the two of them came here to be famous, they still avoided this way of being famous for their stupidity.
"What should I do?" Feng Xue asked in Mandarin, which was somewhat different from the language of this world. Lao Li thought about it and then said:
"There are three ways to go, either to see the so-called Golden Crow Sect, or to go to the Yamen to meet the so-called official master. As for the third option... of course, it is to leave Sizhou and find a place where martial arts are prosperous."
"There is too little information. We have no idea what the so-called master's level is. If someone accidentally overturns in this poor place, then..."
Feng Xue suddenly shut up as she spoke, and then she saw the waiter and several colleagues coming over carrying dinner plates.
The waiter was also sincere. If he said it would be a table, it would be a table, with eight meat and four vegetarian dishes and one soup, paired with a small bowl of fragrant rice. It looked quite appetizing.
Feng Xue's long-unused [Chef] tag was immediately activated, and the details of the dishes were slowly analyzed.
"The steamed fish is freshly killed wild river fish, and it takes no more than two days to pick the vegetables and bamboo shoots. Several dishes are specially selected to avoid taboos, which means that this restaurant has many signature dishes..."
Feng Xue murmured while picking up a chopstick of fish meat. The meat was like garlic cloves, fragrant and delicious, but Feng Xue's expression became more and more serious——
"This is not something a small city can serve."
"You will gradually get used to this kind of thing. I once saw the waiter in a small frontier shop from the Song Dynasty serve a Manchu-Han banquet, and there were two tables!" Lao Li curled his lips and said, "You "It's so rare, so weird" and said:
"We have different worldviews, and some things cannot be generalized. Scientifically speaking, the fertility of the land, air oxygen content, geographical location, degree of crop domestication, etc., while metaphysically speaking, we also need to consider issues such as the aura of heaven and earth. A small piece of land can feed a whole family. This is not a rare situation in the world of urban population.”
"Well..." Feng Xue was stunned for a moment by what Lao Li said, but then she suddenly raised her head, pointed out the window, and deliberately said in a cute and confused tone:
"Isn't it unusual for an official to block the door just for dinner?"
Regarding exchanging pure [knowledge] and selling it to achieve unlimited [knowledge]... this is because you have never understood the market economy at all.
Yes, you can get 10,000 times the profit by exchanging [Knowledge] and selling it, but the problem is that this market is limited, because this is a resource that only freshmen monsters are in demand, and a freshman monster itself has average purchasing power and will not Buying too much at once.
In addition to Hyakumonogatari, the number of ghost stories in Mugen City is just over five digits. Even if you don’t count the average that was raised during the early pastoral era when resources were abundant, there are only more than 300 new ghost stories every year. As for the residents of the Tower of Babylon, even if only the first ten floors were counted, there were 500 people, and one for each person was not enough.
Therefore, this business seems to be highly profitable, but the market is easily saturated and it is impossible to achieve unlimited sales.
