Baima Mountain is close to the border of the Loulan Empire, while Baizhi Mountain is close to Jinqiao Town, the place of exile. Although the two place names differ only by one word, the topography is worlds apart.
Baima Mountain is adjacent to Baima Lake, a large freshwater lake. A disadvantage of this new area of the Loulan Empire is that the further away from the town, the more water is lacking, because there is desert terrain everywhere, and the unknown areas here are also Gobi land.
There are several sheds set up at the foot of the mountain with seven or eight long tables. They are simple stalls, a bit like small restaurants in ancient times. Players passing by can rest here and buy some supplies. When the stalls have sufficient supplies, they will also
Selling some soup noodle food and drink.
Gang Ya is the owner of this stall. Of course he doesn't do it himself. There are dozens of his brothers nearby. He saw the business opportunities when the new district opened. Of course, his little money is not enough to go to the main city.
Traveling east to west, competition in cities other than the main city is even fiercer.
So he contacted several studios and suppliers and set up a stall here to do some small business.
The business is small, but the income is considerable. There are many people in the new area, and thousands of players come and go in the unknown area every day.
Today was no exception. Before noon, the stall was already crowded with people, and seven or eight tables were also occupied.
There was a circle of people sitting on the last long table, and there were two more circles around it. Beyond that was a fleet of 12 cars in total, all covered with linen. The leader was a strange black car.
Players with some discernment should be able to tell at a glance which guild's cargo escort vehicle this is. It should be parked here to rest, eat and drink, and then prepare to hit the road for a long journey.
As for why the escort vehicle was covered with linen, Hua Laosan didn't want to do that. There was really nothing we could do about it. Thieves have been rampant recently and many escort vehicles have been robbed. It's not a bad thing to keep a low profile.
In fact, the recent frequent incidents of losing cars have made him lose face, because he and his brothers still expected to join the Eastern Dynasty, but such big troubles happened, which only shows that his strength still needs to be improved.
However, Mr. Qing did not blame him. Instead, he silently chose to bear the loss. This made Hua Laosan feel more stressed and his income shrunk a lot. If Mr. Qing really wanted to scold him, he felt better.
"Eat quickly. Eat and leave. Don't waste time. I'm annoyed!" Hua Laosan urged his subordinates impatiently, "Sanpi, farmer, why the hell are you still drinking before noon? Damn it!
"
His table was noisy. Gang Ya came over and brought a plate of peanuts: "Third brother, you guys should eat and drink well. This dish is from me."
Of course he knows Gang Ya. This stall is the only place to go deep into unknown areas. All Chinese players have this habit. Before traveling far, they must eat before going on the road. Just like the highways in the real world, everyone must first eat before getting on the highway.
Have a big meal.
Therefore, players who often go here and have some identity not only know Gang Ya, but all of them know Gang Ya.
In response to Gangya's attentiveness, Hua Laosan nodded casually as a greeting.
Soon the Tianqing Group's escort convoy set off. It wasn't until Hua Laosan and his entourage disappeared into the darkness that Gang Ya returned to the counter, took out the sound box and seemed ready to talk, but before talking, he looked around again.
.
His demeanor and movements could hide from the eyes of most customers, but the eagle eyes of a pair of archers in the dark saw everything clearly and accurately.
Not long after, two players, a man and a woman who looked like a couple, walked up to the table where Hua Laosan and the others were eating just now.
The male soldier knocked on the table: "Boss, where are the people?"
Immediately, a young man came up and asked, "Are you two having a meal?"
The male soldier asked: "Where is the menu?"
The young man apologized and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, you two. This store is not a professional restaurant. It mainly sells supplies. It only sells simple meals when the supply is sufficient..."
The male soldier listened impatiently: "Okay, okay, that's enough, what do you have to eat today?"
The young man said: "Today we mainly sell special wontons and spicy noodles. We have wine. Do you two want wine?"
The female archer said: "Let's have two bowls of wontons! Forget the wine."
Two bowls of steaming wontons were quickly served on the table. It’s summer now, and pasta like wontons is really not suitable for eating in this weather, but the unknown area is humid and **, so you can eat a bowl here.
That's definitely a blessing.
But after eating a few mouthfuls, the male soldier slammed the table and shouted: "Boss!"
His voice startled other customers, and the young man rushed over: "What are your orders, brother?"
The male soldier said coldly: "What a mess, it's too unpalatable."
The young man was suddenly stunned.
The female archer was not angry: "How much does a bowl of your wontons cost?"
The young man quickly said: "50 gold coins!"
A bowl of wontons definitely won't sell for such a high price, but in this place, it's worth the price.
"It's expensive!" the female archer said lightly.
The male soldier said angrily: "Go and call your boss to talk!"
The young man stopped talking because he had already seen that these two guys were obviously not just passing by, they were clearly here to cause trouble.
But the person who came over the next moment was not Gangya, but a player dressed as an assassin. This player had a characteristic, that is, he had triangular eyes, which made him look like a bad person.
"Brother, why are you so angry about eating?" He sat down next to the male soldier with a smile with triangular eyelids.
The male soldier stared at him: "Are you the boss?"
Triangle Eyes sneered: "Just think of me as the boss!"
"Get out!" The male soldier was not ordinary domineering, "Why are you pretending to be cool if you are not the boss?"
"Fuck!" Triangle Eyes immediately became furious and stood up suddenly.
"What do you want to do?" The male soldier didn't panic at all. He looked very angry, but in fact he didn't even move his buttocks.
When Sanjiangyan saw so many customers eating and buying things here, he thought for a while and sat down angrily: "You can eat whatever you want, but don't talk nonsense. You are not the only one who can tell whether the food here is good or not.
Forget it."
"Boss!" the male soldier yelled again, "Where is the boss, come out!"
Triangle Eyes was so angry that he vomited blood. This voice was louder than the previous one. About seventy or eighty people in the audience turned their heads.
Gangya couldn't ignore such a big commotion. He came over to apologize and said with a smile: "You two, I am the boss here. If you have any dissatisfaction, please feel free to mention it."
The female archer was unusually calm: "Your wontons are too expensive!"
Gang Ya looked at the two bowls on the table. It could be said that the wontons inside were almost untouched.
He smiled and said, "These two bowls are free, so I'll treat you two personally."
His ability to stand firm in this wilderness depends not only on his eyes, but more importantly on his method of dealing with problems.
It was obvious that he had seen something was wrong this time, and his handling method was quite effective. Even if the male warrior was angry, it would not be easy for him to get angry.
But the female archer stood up and said, "Let's go, let's have lunch at another restaurant!"
"Okay!" The male soldier also stood up.
"You two, go slowly!" Gangya sent him off politely.
Until the two men disappeared into the darkness, the stall resumed its bustling business scene.
"Brother Ya, who are these two people?" Triangle Eyes still looked unconvinced. Although he could tell that the female archer must belong to a powerful person, but so what? Being rich is great, right? In this wilderness
It’s already great that you can eat such a bowl of wontons in the wild, but you still think it tastes bad. This kind of player is really fucked!
Gang Ya frowned and said: "Oasis, things have not been peaceful recently, please be a little less angry."
The triangle-eyed man couldn't help but argue: "It's not that I'm angry, it's that guy who's angry. He insists on deliberately looking for trouble. He really thinks he's a person."
Gang Ya glanced at him and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid these two people didn't come here to deliberately cause trouble."
Unfortunately, these words came true two hours later. Once the time passed 12 o'clock, the stall became even more lively.
This time was the standard time for lunch. Players who came to buy supplies and eat had the three floors of the stall surrounded by water. Many players simply squatted on the ground with bowls in their hands and started eating.
There is no way, the business here is so good that there is no room for the seven or eight tables.
What is unexpected is that the two people who had left before returned here again. The male soldier's voice was sincere and loud: "Boss, where are we?"
Triangle Eyes snorted coldly, thinking that these two idiots have finally realized how powerful they are. We are the only ones with food and drink in this 10-kilometer radius. If you take your seeds, don't come back here.
He was still secretly disdainful, and new troubles appeared again.
The male soldier walked to the table where he had been sitting in the morning and said two very domineering words: "Get up!"
There was a group of soldiers sitting on the table, immersed in eating fried rice. One of the soldiers wearing a black iron helmet raised his head in confusion: "You want us to get up?"
The male soldier said disdainfully: "Nonsense!"
Black Iron Helmet is also very cautious when going out. Seeing how domineering the other party is, he doesn't want to show weakness: "Friend, we are having dinner, please give us a reason to get up!"
The male soldier was too lazy to give a reason: "Let me ask you one last time, will you give up your position?"
"Hey, I won't give in today!" Black Iron Helm put the plate on the table, "Are you blind? Didn't you see us coming first? Didn't you see us eating?"
Without saying a word, the male soldier suddenly kicked the long table out without any warning, and it fell to the dirt floor outside the shed, with pots and pans clinking all over the floor.
This group of soldiers became angry on the spot. They stood up one after another and reached out to grab the weapons on their waists. The two sides were about to fight. (To be continued...)
