After running like this for most of the street, no kind person pulled him into a house to take shelter from the rain. In fact, there are many wide eaves on the street. It might be colder and wet, but he would not be wet all the time, but he had other ideas, and
It's another matter.
Running to the end of the street, Lou Xiaoyi, who was soaked all over, had a rough understanding of the customs and customs of Xizhao City. Indifference, alienation, and vigilance were the main colors here.
There is no need to run anymore, a small town is like this, and the general environment is not much better. I just don’t know if it will be different in places controlled by sword veins?
There was a noodle shop at the corner of the street. As he walked down the street, he could roughly judge the quality of the restaurant. It was definitely not the most luxurious one, nor was it a roadside restaurant. It was a mid-range home-cooked restaurant. You could find some food to warm your stomach.
This is certainly not necessary for monks, but it is necessary for a person who wants to integrate into the world of mortals;
Walking in, ignoring the looks of other diners, he put down the bookcase with a bag full of water and ordered the waiter:
"One bowl of noodles, one pound of meat!"
A special feature of the Whirlpool Planet is that alcohol is prohibited here! It is not because of a matter of belief, but because the meat on the Whirlpool Planet is abundant, but grains are short. In order to ensure food, alcohol has to be banned to some extent. Of course, it is impossible to eradicate it, but it is relatively
For other star regions, it is very difficult to drink good wine here, and it is difficult to enjoy it to the fullest!
Because he knew the rules here, Lou Xiaoyi did not make himself uncomfortable. Soon, when the food was served, Lou Xiaoyi took out a few bahts and put them on the tray; this is also what makes Whispering Star unique. When eating out, you need to pay first.
, instead of tying the knot after eating like normal; this is a small detail, but it is clearly written on the jade slip, and it is very suspicious if you don't even know this.
The waiter was about to leave when Lou Xiaoyi suddenly stopped him and pointed to the guest next to him, who had just ordered a dime of wine.
"My Guangui store has fine wine on offer. If it's convenient, could you pay me a dime?"
Lou Xiaoyi is not good at drinking, but if the situation is right, he is willing to drink two drinks when he is in a good mood. Senior Fufeng tossed him hard when the raft entered the stars, which turned off his magic power. After soaking in the heavy rain for a while, he had a drink.
Two cups of mood.
The waiter simply said, "Okay! One corner of wine, two blue beads!"
One blue bead is worth ten white beads, and the one he just ordered with meat and noodles only costs two white beads! The wine is expensive, and Lou Xiaoyi is not dissatisfied because he is short of grain, but he is not willing to spend money unnecessarily.
"Others buy wine for one dime and one blue bead. How come it's my turn and I only get two blue beads? Could it be that the store is cheating?"
The waiter was not embarrassed at all, and answered seriously, "It's a pearl for a dime for locals. If a foreigner comes to this city, it's two pearls for a dime. We have to hand one of the pearls to the government and pay the luxury tax!"
Lou Xiaoyi had no choice but to take out two blue beads and put them on the tray. As long as there were rules, he was not a fool!
Not long after, the waiter came back to him holding a tray. A blue bead shone brightly on the tray.
"Sir, this is your perfect match!"
Lou Xiaoyi was very surprised. Did he change his temper?
"Why are you picking on me?"
The waiter naturally said, "Because the wine is sold out!"
Lou Xiaoyi felt his anger rising, "Then you should make up for my loss!"
The waiter smiled and shook his head, "But the tax cannot be stopped!"
The onlookers were laughing and watching the fun. They could imagine the anger of this foreign scholar, but as locals, they knew that this was the rule of Xizhao City. At this point, the store really didn’t think of cheating customers! Of course, it also divided people.
, that kind of person who is not easy to mess with at first glance, carrying a sword on his back, the store owner will not be serious, but a sour scholar, who else can he cheat?
To the surprise of the diners, the sour scholar neither made any fuss nor shouted, nor did he care about the loss of a blue bead. He just continued to eat noodles and meat, as if he had no objection at all.
Such an abnormality makes people take a high look. He is either a wealthy person or a wealthy person. Judging from his appearance, he can't be a fool, right?
They are waiting, waiting for this strange scholar to show his fangs, or transform into a big thief and beat up the store, or some big shot from Sunset City comes to help. A blue bead is not worth anything, but it will lose face.
, there are no strangers who don’t make trouble when they come here.
Even the waiter was a little uneasy there, so he secretly informed the shopkeeper and the cook and hid in the back kitchen just in case.
But their waiting was destined to be in vain. They had finished eating the meat, eaten all the noodles, and even drank all the noodle soup, without any accidents happening.
Lou Xiaoyi stood up and praised before leaving, "The noodles are good! It's just a little salty!"
... After finding an inn nearby, Lou Xiaoyi settled down hastily. He kept his pace very slowly because this was not something that could quickly bring order to chaos!
Maybe he can dominate here with his own swordsmanship, but that means nothing! You can't kill all the opponents here! It's unrealistic to uproot all the forces that hate Xuanyuan's rule!
The reality is that he is only one person. If he wants to find out the truth and ensure the continuous supply of important flying sword materials for the Outer Sword, he must have a long-term plan, instead of being happy for a while and then leaving a mess ten years later.
The next successor! Then hundreds of years later, another wave of thoughts against Xuanyuan was brewing in Whistle!
Therefore, you must look at it accurately and study it thoroughly before you can get to the point!
Fortunately, he has plenty of time. Here, he must first turn himself into a real local, and then contact the world of cultivation. He is very worried that rashly revealing his identity from the upper world will lead to bad things.
, cannot get recognition, and cannot see the truth.
During the foundation-building period, he would not have such a calm mentality, just do one job and leave, no matter the flood behind him! But now, he has grown up and become more responsible. Since he promised, he must do it well, not only
Being responsible for your sect is also responsible for your own Taoist heart.
Every day, he would go to the most lively places in Xizhao City, such as markets, restaurants, romantic places, etc., listen quietly, watch quietly, and learn silently. Soon, even the most picky locals would listen.
Can't tell his accent.
There are also local characters, geography, and legends about different things... With his determination and money, he got acquainted with several petty officials in the officialdom. With the help of money and food and wine, it was not difficult to get a household registration in Xizhao City.
It is very convenient for a traveling scholar to return from a long journey, his parents are dead, and he has no fixed place to live. It is very convenient to leave these things to these middle- and lower-class officials, and they can do it without anyone noticing.
Golden elixir monks have spiritual power, there is no surprise in this regard...
But every night, he would go to that noodle shop and ask for a bowl of noodles, a plate of meat, and an extra dime of wine!
At first, the store owner still bullied the student, still giving him a blue bead for free and not giving him any wine. However, after Lou Xiaoyi persisted for more than ten days, even the store owner couldn't stand the man's quiet smile. With two blue beads, he finally
Start serving him wine!
A month later, a blue bead and a dime of wine...
This is the power of silence! The pressure of silence!
Of course, the prerequisite is that you have money!
