Reborn Primitive Age

Chapter 955 Ancient Inkstone

Gongliang weighed the head of the sacred rhinoceros, looked at it pretendingly, and asked, "How do you sell this thing?"

The stall owner was very scheming, and he didn't answer his question directly, but said: "Look, little brother, this sacred rhinoceros head is exquisitely carved, it must be the work of some master, but it just fell into the mundane world for some reason. This kind of thing says If it’s too low, I’m sorry for its worth, you see how much, if the price is right, I will reluctantly give it up to my little brother.”

Is it so good to do business now?

Gong Liang glanced at the stall owner, looked at the sacred rhinoceros head in his hand, and said, "Ten low-grade spirit stones."

He said the words "low-grade spirit stone" especially emphatically, mainly because he felt sorry for spending a piece of middle-grade spirit stone on that bearded man's side just now.He has never been a stingy person, but it depends on where the money is used.

The stall owner's face twitched when he heard Gongliang's words, he took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and then said with a sneer: "Brother, I was joking, such things can't be bought with ten spirit stones."

"Then how much do you want?"

The stall owner reached out and looked through.

Gong Liang glanced at it, and said angrily, "Ten middle-grade spirit stones?"

The stall owner's face was stagnant, but he quickly recovered his smile and said, "Brother, you are joking, how could it be ten middle-grade spirit stones, and 100 yuan low-grade spirit stones."

Gong Liang shook his head and said, "It's too expensive, I can only pay 20 yuan for low-grade spirit stones at most."

"Brother, look at the appearance of the god rhinoceros head, 20 yuan of spirit stones is too low. If you really want it, then I will reduce it a little more, eighty spirit stones, no less."

"Too many, at most thirty spirit stones."

"Seventy, at least seventy. Brother, I am a small business, and it is difficult to do business now, you can't let me sell it to you at a loss!"

"How can it be possible to lose money? I heard from the previous person that these things of yours are the sundries that the academy cleaned up the dormitory. It's fine if the academy didn't repay you the money. How could you return the money? I don't bother to talk about it anymore Let’s talk about it, forget it, I’ll add a little more, 50 yuan of spirit stones, if not, I’ll have to leave. At worst, I’ll add a little more to buy better things, so as not to waste my time.” Gong Liang put down the head of the sacred rhinoceros and got up to leave .

"Fifty is fifty."

How could the stall owner let him go? He quickly picked up the sacred rhinoceros head and packed it, and gave away a good-looking box for free.

"Brother, if you want anything, you can look again. I promise it's cheaper than other places. If you buy a lot, I'll give you a discount later."

"Well, I'll take another look."

Gong Liang took the box, rummaged through the cloth bag, found nothing good, and stood up.

"Brother is leaving, walk slowly, come back when you are free."

"it is good."

Gong Liang smiled slightly and nodded, as to whether he will come again, that is definitely not the case.Miaodao Xianzong is so far away from Qingyang Academy, only a fool would come here to buy second-hand goods.Next, he wandered around other second-hand goods stalls, and found the incomplete corner of the inkstone.

I don't know if the previous bearded stall owner was blind. He didn't find such an easy-to-find remnant.

Gongliang didn't know, as the two old stall owners, they were in competition with each other, if there were any good things that were kept hidden for fear of being picked up by others, how could they be displayed openly for you to pick and choose.

Furthermore, if he hadn't known the texture of the inkstone, how could he have found the incomplete object.

The latest object obtained is the incomplete piece under the inkstone, on which is engraved a female rhinoceros crawling on the ground and a small god rhinoceros standing on the edge of the inkstone and looking around.It just echoes the rhinoceros on the top of the inkstone.

Gongliang put together the inkstones he got, and the overall shape of the inkstones was almost complete.

On the top of the inkstone is a god rhinoceros leaning over the inkstone pond to drink water, at the bottom are the mother rhinoceros and the little god rhinoceros looking around, and in the middle is a moon-shaped inkstone pond.

Although the overall shape of the inkstone is complete, the inkstone is not complete, and a corner of the top of the inkstone is still missing.

But now that he has shopped all over the old things, where should he find the rest?Gong Liang didn't know either, so he could only take Mi Gu and Gu'er around.

After walking for a while, feeling something in my heart, I couldn't help but look at an alley on the side of the street.There was someone pushing a small cart selling mille-feuille cakes, and the stall owner used a few stones to support the wheels to prevent the cart from slipping away.Gong Liang clearly saw that one of the stones looked familiar, and it was clearly the one missing from the inkstone, so he hurriedly led the little guy and Gu'er over there.

Migu and Baba also ate mille-feuille cakes when they traveled to various countries before, but obviously the recipe here is different from other places.

There is a sweet and salty smell in the air, and I don't know how the stall owner handles the salty and sweet smell. If it doesn't work, it's not a good idea.

There used to be a proverb in Gongliang's hometown: "Salty and sweet will make your mouth smell bad; sweet and salty will make your feet smell bad."

Migu also smelled the smell, especially the rich meaty smell emanating from the mille-feuille.The little guy couldn't help swallowing, and asked Papa, "Papa, is the cake delicious?"

Gongliang glanced at her as if, although the little guy asked like that, but his big eyes said all the time: "Papa, I want to eat cakes, I want to eat cakes."

This little guy doesn't know who he learned from. Sometimes he doesn't directly say that he wants to eat, but will remind you tactfully.

If you don't have any savvy, it's really hard to hear.

Gu'er also stared at the mille-feuille cake and swallowed fiercely. He didn't know where the two guys had such a big belly. They had just eaten, okay?

With no other choice, Gong Liang could only say to the stall owner, "Cut me three pieces of mille-feuille cake. Is your mille-feuille cake good or not? I won't pay you if it's not good."

The white-haired woman heard Gongliang's joking tone and said with a smile: "Guests, don't worry, the old woman's thousand-layer cake is passed down from the ancestors. It has been eight generations, and even the scholars in the palace often come to the old woman's place." Eat it, make sure it tastes good."

While speaking, the woman cut out three pieces of mille-layer cake with bamboo slices and said, and then wrapped the cake with a thick paper and handed it to Gu'er and Migu who were watching eagerly.

Gongliang paid the money and ate a piece of mille-feuille cake.

The little guy took a few mouthfuls, then turned his head and said, "Papa, the cake is delicious!"

Gongliang took a sip, and it tasted really good.

The method of mille-feuille cake is very simple, that is, pour a layer of prepared flour paste into a steamer and steam until the flour paste condenses and the color is transparent, and then pour another layer, usually six to nine layers.The mille-feuille cake made by the woman is nine layers, but her method is slightly different.That is a layer of sweetness with a layer of salt mixed with gravy, and there is animal meat on top.This animal meat has also been specially processed, it tastes soft and rotten, and it melts in the mouth.

The sweet layer is also different, it should be made by blending sweet grass juice and powder paste.

Moreover, the taste of this sweet layer counteracts the greasy meat layer, making the combination of the two, salty with sweet, sweet with salty, it is really a rare delicacy.
