Chapter 526
Ancient Cloud Continent, Sky Cloud City.
It's the end of another year. For practitioners, it's just an insignificant moment in the passing years, but for secular people, it's approaching the most important year of the year.
A heavy snow fell, and in the entire Tianyun City, except for some monks' mansions and inns, most of the streets and alleys were covered with white snow. Cut off peach branches and paste brightly colored couplets on the door frame.
In the evening, the sun had already set and the sky was getting dark.
On a street in the east of Tianyun City where secular people gather, the merchants on both sides put up red lanterns early, and hung them high together with the banners and banquets, illuminating the entire street brightly.
In the streets and alleys, there is steaming heat everywhere, filled with the aroma of all kinds of secular food, mixed with all kinds of rhythmic cries, it looks very lively and full of fireworks.
A pretty girl with a delicate figure in a red cloak was holding a brightly colored and coveted candied haws in her forehand, walking slowly in the crowd.
Her entire face was buried in the wide hood of the cloak, but she looked a little lonely.
"Brother and the others are not here, and Elder Li doesn't know when he will come back..." The girl opened her teeth lightly, bit off a sugar-coated hawthorn, held it in her mouth, and muttered indistinctly.
At this time, she suddenly raised her head and caught a glimpse of the end of the long street. Among the crowd was a tall man in Tsing Yi, with a smile on his face, walking towards her.
The girl was startled for a moment, her apricot eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, she quickly swallowed the hawthorn in her mouth, and walked up to her quickly.
When she got closer, she saw through the crowd beside the man, and there was a little girl with red lips and white teeth following him.
At this moment, the little girl was holding the hem of the man's clothes with both hands, wrinkling her nose, and looking around.
"Li Chang... Master Li..."
Arriving in front of the man, the girl immediately pulled down the hood on her head and saluted the man in Tsing Yi.
The man in Tsing Yi was none other than Han Li who had come all the way from the Barren Lane Continent, and the girl in the cloak was Meng Qianqian who had been staying in Sky Cloud City.
"There's no need to be too polite. The city that entered through the east gate just happened to sense your aura, so it stopped by." Han Li said with a slight smile.
"Uncle, who is she? The realm is so low, and the aptitude is so-so." The golden boy who followed beside him withdrew his gaze attracted by the street food, looked at Meng Qianqian, and curled his lips.
"It's your junior sister." Hearing this, Han Li got dizzy and reprimanded.
Meng Qianqian was a little ashamed and lowered her head, and called softly: "Senior Sister, please take care of me."
The golden boy smiled happily when he heard it: "My good junior sister, I reward you."
Come on, he took out a bottle of elixir from somewhere and threw it to Meng Qianqian.
"Go back to the Moon Viewing Garden first, I have something to tell you." Han Li saw that the worldly people around him cast strange glances. Although many people dared not stop to look at it, they were all stealing their eyes, so he said.
"Yes!" Meng Qianqian responded quickly.
"Smells so good, I'll talk about it after I'm full." Jin Tong wrinkled his nose, smelling the aroma wafting from the restaurant, and said. How dare Han Li let her stay here alone, if this little girl really opens up to eat, I am afraid that half of Tianyun City will have to be fed to her, and said: "Okay, I haven't eaten these for a long time .”
"Which restaurant is delicious?." Jintong swallowed, already impatient.
"Is there any bigger restaurant nearby? I haven't eaten secular food for a long time, but I really miss it." Han Li looked at Meng Qianqian and said.
"Yes, yes, the nearby Guangyue Tower and Huichunzhai are very good, I'll take you there." Meng Qianqian nodded repeatedly.
Over the past few days, this street has been visited a lot. Although they are not familiar with the delicious food on the street, they are quite familiar with it, so they immediately took Han Li to the nearest Guangyue Building.
As a result, Jin Tong, who was already so hungry, was hooked by a steamed stuffed bun shop on the side of the street before he walked a block.
"The mutton buns of this restaurant are also very famous nearby, you can try it." Seeing this, Meng Qianqian recommended.
After Han Li nodded, the three sat down.
The store clerk who greeted the three was a bowed hunchback. Seeing the extraordinary demeanor of the three, he trotted over and asked with a smile: "Three guests, what do you want to eat? Our mutton buns are from within a hundred miles." Absolutely."
"First, three baskets of mutton buns, with three bowls of haggis soup, boiled a bit." Meng Qianqian took out a silver coin and ordered.
"Okay." The store clerk responded, turned around and left.
Not long after, three cages of mutton steamed buns were served on the table.
Jintong couldn't bear it any longer, grabbed a white mutton bun bigger than her two hands, and bit into it.
The soft bun skin was bitten open, and the slightly golden soup dripped out, and a smell of meat immediately overflowed the cheeks.
The golden boy's face was filled with satisfaction, and he immediately began to chew quickly.
The store clerk who hadn't had time to turn around at the side almost stared out of his eyes, fearing that the little girl would be burned and he would bear the responsibility of the shopkeeper.
When he was about to remind him, he saw that the little girl had already finished eating the first bun, wiped the oil stains from the corner of her mouth, and hurriedly grabbed the second bun and stuffed it into her mouth.
Next, I saw the little girl's speed getting faster and faster. In the end, I couldn't see her chewing at all. I could only see the mutton buns disappearing in my mouth one after another.
The shop clerk just stared blankly, with his mouth half-opened.
"Uncle, I didn't expect this thing called 'Mutton Bun' to be so delicious, give me another one hundred...one thousand cages." Jin Tong shouted with surprise on his face.
This time, not only the hunched guy next to him was stunned, but even the other diners next to him looked sideways.
"It's really so delicious?" Han Li asked happily.
"Hmm." The golden boy said, smacking his mouth.
"Dude, how many more will be done later? We'll take them all." Han Li said with a smile.
The hunched guy was taken aback for a moment, but didn't react for a while.
Han Li thought that the other party was worried that he didn't have any money, so he planned to give him money, but then he realized that he didn't have any silver at all except for all kinds of magical treasures and spiritual materials, and the most was the immortal essence stone.
If he is so rich that he has no money to settle the bill, Han Li is probably the number one person in the city.
Seeing this, Meng Qianqian understood, flipped her wrist, took out a mid-grade spirit stone and put it on the table.
The general public in the Northern Cold Immortal Realm, compared with people in the human world and the spirit world, has a longer lifespan and a healthier body. In their daily lives, although most of them still use yellow and white things as currency in circulation, but for Lingshi This kind of fairy money is no stranger.
Because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is stored in the spiritual stone, ordinary people carry it with them. Although they cannot directly absorb the spiritual power, they can also benefit from it in a subtle way, so as to prolong life and strengthen muscles and bones.
Therefore, as a high-end currency, spirit stones are also circulated in the mundane world, and are even sought after by wealthy businessmen and nobles.
But like the spirit stone that Meng Qianqian took out, its fineness is far superior to ordinary spirit stones, and it is extremely rare in this market, so it immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.
Fortunately, the proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop was also attracted by the commotion here, she glanced at the mid-grade spirit stone on the table calmly, after asking why, she knew that she had met a nobleman, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the respected guests, This spirit stone is too precious, how dare my old lady accept it?" While speaking, he stuffed the spirit stone into his bosom without hesitation.
The proprietress briskly went to say hello to some regular customers around, asking them to come back tomorrow. After listening to the proprietress' advice, everyone around them knew that these three were not ordinary people, so they all stopped looking in this direction. When they came back to their senses, they realized that their steamed stuffed buns were gone.
"Compared with the taste of the magic weapon, it really has a different flavor." Jin Tong shouted with joy at this moment.
"Senior sister, you... do you usually feed on magic weapons?" Meng Qianqian looked at the little girl in front of her, a little dazed.
"Of course. What else is there to eat in this city?" Jin Tong looked outside the shop and asked again.
"This street is not the only one that has delicious food. Behind it are Huangqiao Shaobing, Furong Cake, Jiuniang Yuanzi, Crispy Wonton, Spicy Rabbit Head, Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles, Red Oil Chaoshou, Beggar Chicken, and Scallion Pancakes. , soup dumplings..." Meng Qianqian hurriedly said like a few treasures.
Before she finished counting them one by one, Jin Tong's eyes were already shining, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"Although I don't know what it is, but hearing the name, I think it looks very powerful... Well, if you finish eating this one, take me to the next one right away." Her eyes had already turned into crescent moons, and she wiped her eyes carelessly. With a sip of saliva, he said.
While he was talking, the hunched man just brought over another ten baskets of steamed buns, Jintong sucked in his mouth, and the ten baskets of steamed buns had already entered his stomach.
Looking at this scene, Han Li couldn't help but smile, and took a sip of the haggis soup from the bowl.
The soup was a little cloudy, and the taste was very strong, but it didn't have any fishy smell. Once it entered the throat, it felt warm in the stomach.
This is a long-lost taste.
Han Li had already forgotten how many years he had not eaten worldly food, but this bowl of haggis soup suddenly brought him back to this world of mortals, and he couldn't help but think of that isolated but simple mountain village in the human world.
He looked around and looked at the lights and crowds around him, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart:
Practicing the avenue, I have seen too many scenery in the sky, and occasionally overlook the world, but find that the scenery is just as beautiful.
