Chapter 58
Mocheng, Xuanhua Street

"Chef, I want to go out alone."

"Be careful, this kind of metropolis is like a maze. Be sure to remember the name of the hotel. I don't want to post missing person notices."

Leaving the crowd, Zhang Wei's face and posture gradually changed.

The illusion technique is becoming more and more proficient.

Take out the package, there are a lot of metal coins inside.

The brass-colored one is larger and rougher in production.

There is '1' written on the front and the word Bailey on the back, weighing about 20 grams.

The silver ones are more refined and come in a variety of denominations and weights, such as 5, 10, 20, etc.

Xuanhua Street corresponds to the commercial street in the previous life, with various standardized stalls on the roadside, and countless pedestrians and tourists.

"Boss, here are 20 squids."

"Okay, thanks for your patronage, I'll charge you 1 Bailey."

Zhang Wei didn't buy it at all: "It's a bit expensive."

The street stall owner raised his voice and immediately argued: "It's more expensive, but my iron plate squid is authentic. If it's not good, you'll smash my signboard!"

"All right, all right, buy it now, 30 skewers."

"25!"

"make a deal."

Clear money and goods.

It's been a long time since I went out for a walk, and even bargaining has become so fun.

Zhang Wei suspected that he was a little suffocated.

Sizzling squid is just a common ingredient, and it doesn't have a catch grade, but the price is affordable and it is very popular in Mocheng.

"The taste is really good, the squid is very fresh, the seasoning is evenly spread, and there are still some flaws in the control of the heat..."

"Practice makes perfect. The street stall owner probably hasn't studied it in detail. It's really good to be able to figure it out like this."

As the capital of the Northland, Mocheng is relatively expensive.

A bowl of chow mein 1/2 Bailey.

400 grams of stewed beef in sauce, 1 Bailey.

300 grams of fried silkworm chrysalis, 1 Bailey.

And in restaurants with stores, if you go in and order anything, you have to spend 3 Baileys.

Some of the more refined stores will sell food with a catch level, mostly level 1 or level 2.

The price of the ingredients themselves is not low, plus the processing fee, a meal is at least 10 Baileys or more.

"There are hard prizes for throwing darts, and you can take all kinds of prizes at will..."

"Rings, rings. Twenty rings for a Bailey."

"Guest, come in and have a drink, there is pipa music to listen to."

"Fresh fruits and vegetables are on sale! There are discounts for large quantities."

Leaving the hustle and bustle of Xuanhua Street, Zhang Wei still has a lot of serious things to do.

Desert Book Pavilion.

A very large-scale building, the overall decoration style is very elegant, but it can't hide the sense of magnificence.

Most of the pedestrians coming and going are gentle and well-dressed.

"Hi sir, membership is still a ticket."

There are more than a dozen book boys in the admission area, who are responsible for ticket checking and shopping guide.

Zhang Weidao: "It's the first time I'm here, I want to buy some books to fill the library, the amount will be a lot."

The book boy showed joy, and explained: "To be able to come to Damo Bookstore, Mr. must be a genuine reader who respects originality. Let me introduce you to what you want to see."

"it is good."

Damoshuge is divided into several parts.

The browsing area provides borrowing services and part-time sales.

Backup books are stored in the warehouse.

He independently operates a printing factory, paper mill, and color ink factory, which are located in the backyard together with the warehouse.

The core is the rare edition area, most of which are rare editions, as well as the manuscripts of some masters.

Shuge also hosts painting exhibitions, clay sculptures, sculptures, etc., which can be said to be a collection of art.

In addition, there are also businesses such as newspapers and periodicals, and the income is higher than that of selling books.

"Which book sells more?"

"Biographies, serial novels, illustrated magazines, nude body albums..."

"And the fruit body atlas?"

"Of course, they are all works by well-known painters. They are quite high-level! What type do you like, young, intellectual, seductive, catwalk or full fruit?"

"Ahem, I'm not interested in these."

It seems that no matter which world, LSP is an important new force.

It has provided a great boost to the revitalization of the economy.

"There are people coming and going in the Book Pavilion, so the business is good."

The book boy sighed: "Authentic books are not easy to sell. The bookstore will return part of the profits to the authors. In addition, there are site fees, personnel expenses, etc., which make the books more expensive. Few people are willing to spend money to support them. The young author is so poor that he can hardly afford food."

"The pirated book doesn't need space or personnel, and can be produced with cheap paper and a printing press. The price is only one-tenth of the genuine one."

The products of Shuge are exquisitely bound, the paper is thick, and the quality is indeed very good.

Some albums are brightly colored, and the color ink used should also be high-end.

Zhang Wei devotes himself to the ocean of knowledge, and his main goal is to introduce various rare ingredients and geographical origins.

The price of knowledge related to food skills and martial arts is very high, and Zhang Wei is not stingy in the slightest.

"Summary of special cooking ingredients?"

This is not the first time Zhang Wei has encountered this term.

Not all ingredients can be eaten in all aspects.

The more high-end ingredients, the more magical properties will appear.And these extraordinary characteristics make them unable to be eaten normally.

Take the ghost face mushroom that Zhang Wei first came into contact with as an example. The whole body is covered with poisonous spores, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

There is also Gallon tiger meat, which is sour and difficult to swallow. Zhang Wei also pondered for a long time before he found the correct cooking method.

The rarest one is the ice dragon. Its blood exceeds 1500 degrees. How should the meat that can withstand this temperature be cooked?
For half a month, Zhang Wei thought hard but couldn't find the answer.

"There are books about special cooking ingredients, but this one is the only one?"

The book boy looked it over: "It's a very unpopular book, and not many copies are sold throughout the year. How about it, I'll check the book catalogue."

"Well, all of this category, get me a copy."

"Everything?"

"Ah."

The book boy is overjoyed, this is a big deal!

Zhang Wei stayed where he was and continued to buy. These books can be stored in the space of the collection hall, and he can read them slowly when he is bored.

It can be said that it is Zhang Wei's few means of entertainment.

It is also the most convenient way to understand the world.

One after another, soon, the books Zhang Wei chose piled up into a hill.

At first glance, there are at least 2000 copies.

Several shopping guides pushed the trolleys and followed behind, which seemed to be more difficult.

"That's all, enough to watch for a while."

With the time flow bonus of the Treasure Hall, Zhang Wei has a lot of reading time.

When he came to the bar, the manager of the bookstore greeted him personally.

Seeing the quantity Zhang Wei purchased, he immediately said: "Sir, are you going to decorate the study? If you want to decorate the front, there are actually more cost-effective options."

In the eyes of ordinary people, these books are enough to read for at least 20 years, or even a lifetime.

No matter how eager you are for knowledge, you won't need so much.

"No, I'm more interested in these."

The manager stopped talking nonsense, and the four shopping guides took out their abacus and began to calculate according to the price.

"Chenghui, a total of 3758 Baileys."

"I'll give you a discount, just pay 3500. This is the book list of our store, and it can be delivered to your door next time."

Zhang Wei touched the purse, his expression suddenly became awkward.

Gan, genuine books are so expensive!
"Ahem... I feel that I may not be able to see so much."
