Chapter 410: First arrival in the Far East Kingdom
Yi Xifeng has already visited Luo Yun Kingdom, Zhenwu Kingdom, Beast Kingdom, Demon Kingdom, and other countries in the Western Regions.
Now we start from Zhenwu Kingdom and go all the way north, taking a detour on the way, and our final destination is the Far East Kingdom.
"I remember Captain Qingzhu and the others are also in the Far Eastern Kingdom."
"Yeah, I haven't seen them for a long time, and I really miss them."
"As long as we travel in the Far East, we will encounter them sooner or later."
The Far Eastern Kingdom is located in the northernmost part of the continent, with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas.
The houses that people live in here are very different from those in Zhenwu Kingdom. Most of the common people in Zhenwu Kingdom live in wooden houses. The wood used is the most common giant sequoia tree in the area. The windows of the houses are large and mostly made of paper.
But here, as far as the eye can see, there are all low and thick stone houses with extremely small windows and made of wood.
This has a great relationship with the local climate. Cold weather forces people to build houses with thick walls and small windows to withstand the severe cold in winter.
"Oven cakes, thick oven cakes."
Yi Xifeng and the other three were walking on a long street. Both sides of the street were crowded with vendors selling goods.
"Oven cakes, four for ten cents!"
Zhong Lingxi and Li Xintian stopped in front of the oven cake stall, holding Yi Xifeng for a moment, but they could only stop.
The vendor is a rather sturdy middle-aged man with deep eye sockets unique to the Far Eastern Kingdom.
"You are from another country, right? Are you here to participate in our Far East Country's Winter Festival?"
The uncle who was shouting and selling oven cakes was talking to the three of them with a simple and honest smile, looking at everyone's clothes.
Yi Xifeng was still wearing a white robe, and the two girls were also wearing long skirts. They were both Zhenwu Kingdom costumes, which were somewhat different from the Far East Kingdom costumes.
Yi Xifeng was confused as to what kind of festival the Winter Festival was, as he had never heard of it.
Seeing that none of the three people spoke, the uncle smiled boldly and said, "So you didn't come here for our national holiday."
"Old man, we want three oven cakes." Li Xintian spoke first and took out eight cents.
"Come on, three oven cakes." When the uncle saw Li Xintian taking out eight cents, he smiled kindly and said, "Four oven cakes cost ten cents. You can buy three and give me seven cents, that's all."
Li Xintian put back the eight cents he took out and put one cent back, with a smile on his face. He was obviously in a good mood after being told by this kind old father-in-law.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Li Xintian was very happy, and he happily put the seven cents on his desk, and then took the three sesame seed cakes from his father-in-law.
"Why are you so polite?" The old man also smiled kindly, with a hint of honesty in his smile. It was a kind of honesty, or innocence, unique to low-level craftsmen. They only thought about how to make their own oven cakes and make them more delicious.
The food is delicious and you can earn the money you need for your daily life. You will not think about being clever in other places to get more copper coins.
After Li Xintian took a bite of the oven cake, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and Zhong Lingxi also started eating along with Li Xintian.
Yi Xifeng also took a bite, and it tasted really good. Because it was roasted, it had a unique malt aroma.
"It tastes good." He said, then looked up and saw two girls taking small bites of the oven cake, one bite after another.
This oven cake is flat and round, with a generous portion, unlike steamed buns that become fluffy after fermentation.
"This oven cake is very hungry. It should be the staple food of the people of the Far East. Although it looks flat, you will be very full after eating it and won't be able to eat anything else." Yi Xifeng wanted the two girls to eat less of this.
Oven cakes, because these oven cakes are obviously very good at resisting hunger. When they first came to this far east country, the two girls would probably want to eat something good.
"Xintian, when you were a saint, didn't you have whatever you wanted?" Zhong Lingxi and Li Xintian whispered while eating the oven cakes.
"It would be great if that were the case, Sister Lingxi. When I was a saint, I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat. I had to listen to others. Every meal that was served was determined in advance, although it was very rich.
, but this kind of life is like a bird in a cage, very unfree."
While everyone was talking, they suddenly heard a noise coming from behind them. Looking back, they saw an officer and soldier who looked like a small official, holding a piece of cake with an angry face in front of a small stall. The stall owner opposite was holding a piece of cake.
It was the stall owner who sold three cakes to Yi Xifeng and others for seven cents.
"Bah, you dare to sell this crappy thing?!"
The little official was wearing a black official uniform and his long boots were stepping on the stall of the cake seller. He was pointing the cake at the honest old man, who looked more like the Heavenly King than the Heavenly King.
The petty official is an official position in all the seven countries. He is the lowest level existence in the officialdom, but in the eyes of ordinary people, he is an existence that is absolutely untouchable.
Just like the urban management of the earth, some urban management are domineering and do not treat the people as human beings because of their small power.
It seems that the same is true for this little official.
"Is it time to pay your business opening tax?" The clerk raised his neck and pointed his nostril at the father-in-law. He held the knife in one hand and held the father-in-law's collar with the other. He seemed to be a martial arts practitioner.
He lifted the old man up with one hand and lifted his feet off the ground.
"Sir, my wife has become seriously ill recently. I have to save money to buy medicine for her. Please do me a favor and spare me the opening tax for this month." The old man looked panicked and waved his hands repeatedly.
, I am afraid that if kneeling down can solve the problem, I will kneel down.
This street should be a very prosperous street. What you can see from entering the city gate is a vast land with a few scattered stone houses. It is only nearby that it becomes lively, and both sides of the street are full of residents. Now the residents
They all stuck their heads out one after another, looking at this scene of bullying, and no one dared to say a word for the old man.
"Hey, this old man has been selling oven cakes here for more than ten years. Honestly, his cakes are always the thickest and there is never any shortage."
"Oh, it's just that we are unlucky. When we meet such a newly appointed official, he will bully the people and look like he is so majestic, bah!"
With the ear of Yi Xifeng, he could clearly hear the whispered curse words of two residents in a house more than ten meters away.
The clerk pushed the old man to the ground, and the old man immediately knelt down and kept muttering: "Please, sir, let me go this time. I have to take these copper coins to get medicine for my wife."
ah."
On one side is the old man who is kneeling on the ground and kowtows continuously, and on the other side is the official who is holding the handle of the knife and holding his head high, feeling very majestic.
The official held his head high, seeming to enjoy the fearful looks from the people around him. He was also from a lower-class background and finally got the position of official in order to become a master. He no longer looked at other people's faces, but let others
