Martial arts long journey

Chapter 75 Collecting Information
After tidying up in the guest room and changing into brand new clothes bought by the waiter in the inn, Zhou Yan opened the door and walked out.

During the time in the Ailao Mountains, Zhou Yan ate wild fruits and wild animals for more than two months. Although Zhou Yan never felt hungry, the taste was not very good.

It's not yet summer, and almost all the wild fruits in the mountains are extremely green. Apart from being able to satisfy the hunger, it can be said to be extremely unpalatable
And because of the lack of condiments, those beasts had no taste at all, and they almost vomited after eating it.

Therefore, Zhou Yan is not in a hurry to buy weapons now, but is planning to invite a table to eat, let's have a full meal first.

As soon as he left the guest room, Zhou Yan walked directly to the first floor of the inn and came to the lobby of the inn.

Although there is a private room upstairs in this inn, Zhou Yan has no choice.

In this kind of inn and restaurant where people come and go, the lobby on the first floor can be regarded as the most lively place, and there are all kinds of people.

Zhou Yan planned to eat in the lobby of the inn, not because he stayed in the deep mountains and old forests for too long and planned to join in the fun.

It's because this kind of lively place is the best place to collect all kinds of news.

Zhou Yan just came to Sui'an Prefecture City, so it can be said that he is unfamiliar with the place.

So he prepared to order a table of delicacies to reward his stomach that had eaten wild fruits and beasts for more than two months, while collecting some useful information for himself.

"Little Second!"

After finding a table near the corner to sit down, Zhou Yan raised his hand and said in greeting.

Then, a waiter dressed in gray clothes, a gray hat, and holding a long-mouthed copper pot in his hand ran towards Zhou Yan.

When the waiter came to Zhou Yan's desk, he quickly tore off the rag from his shoulders and wiped the table carefully.

"My lord, what are your orders?!"

Then, while asking aloud, he filled the porcelain cup on Zhou Yan's table with hot water.

"Little brother, what are the characteristics of your place!" Zhou Yan said with a light smile.

Hearing Zhou Yan's question, a look of joy flashed in the waiter's eyes.

After cleaning up and sorting out, Zhou Yan's demeanor is a bit more outstanding than before, and the waiter can naturally see that Zhou Yan is either rich or expensive.

Customers like Zhou Yan who ask about special dishes are the most popular with the waiter. After all, the more generous the guests are, the more the waiter will earn.

I saw that the waiter first bowed to Zhou Yan and saluted, and then quickly introduced: "Young master, we have all kinds of cold and hot dishes in the store, but the most famous one is 'steamed cod'. .

The cod is produced in the cold pond of Cheng, the meat is extremely tender, and after being carefully cooked by our chef, it is even more delicious.

Besides 'steamed cod', we also have..."

"Okay, okay, bring your cod, and then a few dishes of stir-fry, and boil a pot of hot wine!"

Seeing that the waiter was quite chattering, Zhou Yan quickly slapped a snowflake silver on the table and interrupted.

"Okay, young master, please wait a moment, and I will go and arrange it for you!"

The waiting waiter, who was still not satisfied, picked up the silver taels on the table, bowed again to Zhou Yan and saluted, and immediately went down to pass the dishes to Zhou Yan.

On the other hand, Zhou Yan sat on the chair with his eyes narrowed, and began to listen to the lively conversation in the hall, looking for the information he needed.

It didn't take long for the waiter just now to bring several plates of freshly fried side dishes to the table, especially a basket of steaming fresh steamed fish at the end.

Look at the body of the fish, which is elongated, sub-round in the front, narrow in the back, white in color, with two pairs of whiskers, thick, long and nimble.

The most important thing is that the fish meat is white and moist, and the fragrance is overflowing, which makes Zhou Yan can't help but move his index finger.

Although Zhou Yan was not a gluttonous person, eating wild fruits and wild animals for more than two months in a row had already made him fade out.

"You go down first!"

Now that the delicious food is in the air, how can he bear it, even popping out a piece of silver, signaling the waiter to leave.

"Okay, young master, please take it easy, if you have any instructions, just say hello."

The waiter first filled a cup of boiling hot wine for Zhou Yan, then picked up the broken silver with a smile on his face, and turned to greet other guests.

After the waiter turned around and left, Zhou Yan impatiently picked up the chopsticks and tasted the delicacies on the table.

Zhou Yan kept tasting the delicacies on the plate, raising his glass to take a sip of the scalding hot wine from time to time.

While eating, he listened to the lively conversation in the hall, looking for the news he needed, it was really a pleasure.

As the dishes on the plate gradually ran out and the hot wine in the jug gradually emptied, Zhou Yan also heard a lot of useful news.

Among them, what interested Zhou Yan the most was the martial arts forces in the city of Sui'an that could forge weapons.

As the country with the least shortage of refined ores, Qi State has as many places where weapons can be forged as there are carp crossing the river.

There are weapon shops in almost every county and county, but these weapon shops can only cast middle and low-grade weapons.

Only the Ordnance Department of Qi State and the Shenbingtang, a top martial arts force, have the strength to forge higher-quality weapons.

Even though there will definitely be some skilled soldier-casting masters who do not belong to these two forces, Zhou Yan has not received any news about them.

However, Zhou Yan is now just a casual martial artist. Although he has the martial arts strength of the fetal breath state, he is not comparable to Qi State's Ordnance Department and Shenbingtang.

Coupled with Zhou Yan's newcomer, he has no strength at all, and he is not qualified to ask the Shenbing Hall and the Ordnance Department to personally forge a weapon for him.

However, this does not mean that there are no other places to sell high-quality weapons in Sui'an Prefecture.

Zhou Yan just now found out through the chatting among those of the three religions and nine streams in the lobby of the inn that there is a place in the city of Sui'an where he can buy some high-grade weapons.

Even many warriors from Langya County of Jin Kingdom would cross the border between Qi and Jin to come here to buy weapons.

It's just that all the weapons sold there are swords and other weapons that are very common in the martial arts world, and Zhou Yan doesn't know whether he can get the weapons he wants from them.

Of course, no matter what, Zhou Yan planned to go there, but he got up from his seat and walked out of the inn.
