mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 590 It Was Really a Night Without Opponents

Zhao Chuanxin was lying on a recliner, while Benjamin Goldberg, Zhao Yixian and Ganfan only had small bamboo stools, which looked not much bigger than Mazza.

A small square table was placed on the ground, on which was a clam tree cutting board soaked by Zhao Chuanxin in sea water. Benjamin Goldberg was holding a kitchen knife and was awkwardly cutting beef on the left, while Zhao Yixian was cutting beef with another kitchen knife. vegetable.

The kettle on the charcoal stove boiled, Zhao Chuanxin took it down and made a pot of tea.

While chopping vegetables, Zhao Yixian said to Benjamin Goldberg: "Little friend, don't look at this old man who has spent half his life in poverty, but he has traveled a lot and learned a lot.

If you want to talk about this kitchen knife, it has to be Cao Zhengxing's.

People at the time said - Hangao is full of gold, and it is easy to turn around when the game arrives.Salted beans, peanuts and wild ducks, half of the rich are the poor.

In the last century, there was a man named Cao Yuehai in Dacaowan of Haojia Temple in Huangpi. When he was young, he went to Hankou to make a living.

Then Cao Yuehai thought to himself that Mr. Cao had no skills, so why not make a living by doing so?

Hankou people are delicious, especially good at simmering soup, and chopping bones and meat is a must.

This Cao Yuehai is a shrewd person, he also makes a living by doing business, others only wait for customers to come to his door, but he sends the knife to the butcher's butcher's table, you give money if you use it well, and don't take any money if you don't use it well.

This Cao Yuehai has forged a lot of knives, mastered some experience in heat, and actually forged a plank knife that is thin in the front and thick in the back, cut in the front and cut in the back, and both cut and cut. The marketing market was booming for a while, and it developed within a few years... ..."

This Zhao Yixian was used to being suppressed by Zhao Chuanxin, and he was usually silent.In fact, he is well-informed and eloquent.

Talking about the past and the present, and citing extensively, has also opened Zhao Chuanxin's horizons.

These things are usually not seen in newspapers, and you have to go to the local area to experience life to know.

As soon as he spoke, Zhao Yixian's despondent expression disappeared, and he continued: "Little friend, if you talk about this Hankou, there are four things you must not miss-Su Hengtai's paper umbrella, Wang Yuxia's pastry, Lao Jiuru's comb, and the Cao Zhengxing’s kitchen knife is here. When we arrive in Hankou, the old man will buy one for you.”

Benjamin Goldberg finally finished cutting the beef and started to marinate it. He rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Zhao Yixian, you are a beggar for a living, and you can't afford ten big bucks. You have the money to give it to me." Do I buy presents?"

Zhao Yixian swiftly gathered the vegetables together with a kitchen knife, and placed the grill pan on the charcoal stove.

With a thick skin, he shook his head and said in a loud voice: "The heaven and the earth have the same force, and the hero is not free. The old man is just unlucky, but after learning the magic, just like Zhao Shenxian, the money is not easy to get?"

The ancient temple here is empty, and his voice can be heard far away, with echoes.

Zhao Chuanxin commented cheerfully: "If the loud voice becomes a fairy, there will be no ordinary donkeys in this world."

Zhao Yixian: "..."

Damn, this pair of mentors and apprentices is really nothing. They don't use dirty words when they swear, and it's as easy as eating and drinking water.

Benjamin Goldberg chuckled.

The corners of Qianfan's mouth curled up.

The first time Zhao Yixian saw a dog laughing, he felt a little creepy.

When the beef, potatoes and onions are put into the pot, they make a sizzling sound and the aroma suddenly fills the air.

According to Zhao Chuanxin's recipe, Zhao Yixian mixed the sauce and divided it into three dishes.

Zhao Chuanxin took out sorghum wine, three wine cups and a bowl.

In the bowl is dandelion herbal tea, which is prepared for dry rice.

Zhao Chuanxin toasted: "Come on, drink something warm first."

The three of them toasted and drank it down, licking the bowl while they were cooking.

Swallowing it in one gulp is like a thread of fire piercing the throat.

Zhao Chuanxin's face turned red.

To put it bluntly, no matter how high the physical fitness is, the amount of alcohol has only increased a little.

Grill two or three Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs here, and the beef in the grill over there is also cooked.

Zhao Yixian ate with the master and apprentice, and already had some experience, so he wanted to grab it.

The three of them were flying with chopsticks, but it was Zhao Chuanxin who was superior.

He not only picks up for himself, but also picks up the cooking, and he still doesn't lose the wind if he does two jobs for one person.

Taking another sip of wine, Zhao Yixian smacked the taste and said, "As the saying goes, one person should not enter the temple, two people should not look at the well, and three people should not hold trees. I don't know if there are bad people and evil spirits in this ancient temple."

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at him, this bastard just beat around the bush and wanted to stay in a hotel.

"The two ghosts of impermanence have to bow their heads. Who is not afraid in the city of vain death? What kind of evil people and evil spirits, even if they see Zhao, they have to stay away."

Zhao Yixian sneered and continued eating meat.

Three people and one dog finished the four kilograms of beef first. Zhao Yixian didn't use his chopsticks much for the remaining potatoes and onions.

But Zhao Chuanxin and Benjamin Goldberg continued to eat while they still had dry rice.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't have a good capacity for alcohol, so he drank one cup, and Benjamin Goldberg also drank one cup at a young age, but Zhao Yixian drank a few more cups, and couldn't help but blush.

After eating, Zhao Chuanxin asked them to wash the pots and dishes.

Seeing that Benjamin Goldberg breathed out in his hands with the cold, the weather at this time was much colder than later generations, after all, Zhao Chuanxin smiled, put away his things and said, "Get in the car, let's go to the city."

Zhao Yixian was overjoyed.

When eating outside, Zhao Chuanxin is mainly to exercise the apprentice's ability to survive.

He hates useless trash the most.

It's not really to save money, it's really not bad for the money, not to mention that he already has some plans for saving money when he goes out this time.

The car entered the city and drove into Guanqian Street.

Although the night had come, the city of Suzhou was still brightly lit.

Outside the shops on the street, there are rows of electric poles.

The street is not spacious, and at this time, there are still rickshaws pulling people.

Zhao Chuanxin honked the horn vigorously, and pedestrians glared at him.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and opened the car window: "You are blind, why don't you get out of the way quickly? Hey, who is that, get out of the way..."

A burst of chicken and dog jumping.

The streets are extremely bustling, not losing to Shanghai.All kinds of shops are lit up. There are "Old Changyi", "Fadui Jingzi History Collection", "Jinlong Pharmacy", selling silk, tea, foreign goods...

Zhao Chuanxin drove the car, taking all the roads he could.

After a while, we arrived near the canal.

He found a place to park, and the three got down.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Walk around and find an inn to stay."

Those inns are all in small alleys, and cars cannot enter.

There are flower boats beside the canal, and there are many beautifully dressed women on the flower boats. Those who are not closed in the cold weather are waving to the shore to attract customers.

Zhao Yixian didn't sleep last night, and his eyes were bleary due to drinking, but when he got here, his eyes began to shine: "Suzhou, the land of beauties. There is Zhenniang in Tang Dynasty, Zhen Jinlian in Song Dynasty, Xue Susu in Ming Dynasty, and Sai Jinhua now, tsk tsk... "

These are famous prostitutes in Suzhou in various eras. As for Sai Jinhua, she is no longer in Suzhou, but she was also a household name in Suzhou back then.

As we got closer, the women on the flower boat waved their handkerchiefs, they were the most sensitive, and when they saw Zhao Yixian's bewitching look, they immediately began to solicit customers.

But looking at Zhao Chuanxin again, he was tall and handsome, and immediately shifted his target.

A woman put on an artificial obsequiousness and waved at Zhao Chuanxin: "What a handsome man, come in for a drink?"

Zhao Chuanxin was fine, Zhao Yixian was so excited that he almost jumped up, just waiting for the woman to successfully attract Zhao Chuanxin, and then Zhao Shenxian would eat meat and drink soup with him.

Zhao Chuanxin saw the big forehead exposed by the dusty woman after shaved forehead, and asked with a serious face: "How much alcohol do you have?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly: "I didn't measure it, just drink half a glass, and I'm sure I'll fall drunk in your arms."

Zhao Chuanxin stared: "No measure? No measure, what the hell are you drinking with me?"

The woman is confused: "..."

Zhao Yixian: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin held his hands up: "Huh, what a night without opponents!"

The woman spat, her face full of disappointment: "It's so embarrassing!"

Zhao Yixian's spirit was immediately vented, and he followed behind Zhao Chuanxin disgruntled.

Benjamin Goldberg whispered to him: "My master's women are all beautiful, and he doesn't like vulgar fans."

"Hey, not everyone is a fairy."

Benjamin Goldberg saw that he was stubborn, so he said bluntly: "You still want to whore if you don't have money?"

Zhao Yixian got a little excited after drinking some wine: "You, you eloquent foreign bastard!"

Benjamin Goldberg was not to be outdone: "You are such a bad old man who is drunk, lustful and trying to become a god!"

While the two were bickering, they arrived at an inn called "Mingyuan".

The innkeeper, wearing reading glasses, was doing his abacus behind the counter. When he saw three people and a dog coming in, he put down his reading glasses and said, "How many of you want to stay in the hotel?"

"Two upper rooms, one needs a suite, it's better to have two rooms inside." Zhao Chuanxin paid for it.

Inside the inn are three courtyards, estimated to be seven to eight hundred square meters, with small bridges and flowing water, which is quite elegant.

The shopkeeper nodded, it didn't bother him, he took the money and led the way.

When we got to the room, Zhao Chuanxin stretched his waist: "Benjamin, you and Ganfan will live in a suite with me tonight."

Back in the room, Zhao Chuanxin quickly washed up, moved boxes and cabinets, blocked the door, and then told Benjamin Goldberg: "Something may happen to the teacher at night, maybe it's okay.

In case something happens, don't panic, let's find out the teacher's breath first..."

Benjamin Goldberg's eyes widened: "Master, are you afraid that you want to become a fairy in advance? You still have so many magic tools and spells that you haven't taught me..."

"Zhuo!" Zhao Chuanxin slapped him on the back of the head: "You can't fucking expect to be a good teacher, can you? If something goes wrong, you should find a way to save the teacher."

"Oh." Benjamin Goldberg nodded: "That's what I actually mean."

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Ganfan, you sleep with me."

Cooking rice: "Wow, woof, woof..."

Zhao Chuanxin prepared a quilt for Ganfan, and after it got in, he went to bed, took off his clothes, and took out the "Old God Code".

Cooking rice: "Wow, woof, woof..."

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at it: "I only sleep on the same bed with women, and it's not easy for anyone else."

Benjamin Goldberg puts it to bed every day, it seems.

Open the Codex of the Old Gods.

Before, "I" took the task and went to the Shadow Forest to stop the war of the nine clans.

In fact, when I was on the boat, "I" arrived at the Shadow Forest.

However, Zhao Chuanxin discovered that the old sacred altar had some inexplicable connection with the "Old God Code". same as in the Code.

The past few days have been uneventful, and I haven't dared to experiment. Before "I" was about to arrive at the forest elf territory, Zhao Chuanxin suppressed the progress.

[I took my brother and sister to the territory of the forest elves. 】

[It is still colorful here, and the large lanterns are shining like stars. 】

At this moment, Zhao Chuanxin opened the Holy Light Channel.

Suddenly, that suction appeared again.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that his vision began to deform, and the "Old God Code" in front of him was distorted, and his soul seemed to be absorbed into it.

This feeling does not make him feel painful.

If you insist on what it feels like, it's like going to bungee jumping, which is similar to falling from a high altitude. The difference is that bungee jumping is a fall of the body, and now it is a fall of the soul.

In fact, this process is very fast.

Zhao Chuanxin felt his soul tremble, and then a new vision appeared in front of him.

A large moss and twisted vines appeared in front of my eyes.It seems that they should be in the dark, because the canopy above the head blocks the sky and the sun does not shine in at all.

But on the ground in front, there are countless glowing lanterns, and there are countless huge bugs and moths that are attracted, like candle dragons and fireflies surrounded.

At this time, in front of Zhao Chuanxin, or in front of his sight, stood a group of dwarfs who were less than knee-high, with strange faces, but strong bodies.

Zhao Chuanxin can be sure that he is not here, he is more like a ray of consciousness pinned on "I".

He also cannot manipulate the body of "I".

At this time, it was more like the anchor point was triggered, and the consciousness made a special appearance.

The leading dwarf said: "Fearless Pioneer, welcome to the territory of the elves again."

It was as if he was speaking directly to Zhao Chuanxin, but in fact he was speaking to "me". The patriarch of the elves couldn't see Zhao Chuanxin at all.

At this point, Zhao Chuanxin's vision began to distort.

歘...

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the "Old God Codex" in his hand and was stunned.

His consciousness returned to the inn.

Ganfan whispered, "Wow, woof..."

"Hehe, I'm not dead yet." Zhao Chuanxin said, "It's okay, you can sleep now."
