Chapter 443 Who is fishing?

The facade of Liu Ji in the south of the city is not big, but the workshop behind the store is not small, occupying a large yard.

The yard is lined with tools for making hot pot bases on both sides, with a wide aisle in the middle.

A guy led the three to the door and shouted: “The three distinguished guests invited by the boss, please welcome them.”

Immediately, another guy came over with a warm welcome. With a smile, he respectfully led the three of them into the room, and said, “Our boss wants to invite three distinguished guests to dinner. We are preparing at this time. Please wait.”

While speaking, lead the three After sitting in the hall, another person brought plates and plates of candied fruits, peanuts and melon seeds, fresh melons and fruits, and a large glass of iced sour plum soup.

Three other maids came with a small tray full of silver knives, “Do the three distinguished guests need a nail trimming service? We can also paint the nails for free.”

There was another guy over there who brought three hot water buckets, “Three distinguished guests, do you have a bubble foot?”

“…”

“Huh, this service can be Ah.” Wang Longqi exclaimed.

The great cause of the Wang Family is well-informed in Hangzhou Prefecture, but I have never experienced such a pompous place to eat a hot pot.

After enjoying it for a long time, someone brought the steaming bottom of the pot to the table. The pot is divided into nine grids. It seems to be specially designed for the convenience of rinsing different materials. It is quite attentive. .

At this time, the chubby Shopkeeper Liu walked out with a smile on his face, “Sorry, you three, this shop is closed, and many people come to me. There is no immediate welcome, and I am a little neglected.”

>

“Don’t neglect, don’t neglect…” Lao Du laughed: “Your service here is very thoughtful.” Then he introduced Li Chu and Wang Longqi, “This is my master, from Cloud Heart Temple in Jiangnan, Everyone calls him the Little Daoist Priest. This is Wang Longqi, Seventh Young Master. You know that Chu Sect has recently emerged in the auspicious mansion? Seventh Young Master is in there…hehe.”

Strictly speaking, Wang Longqi Zhang Mian is still the boss of Chu Sect. But Lao Du didn’t say much, just let Shopkeeper Liu know that he has some weight, and he’s not here to eat rice, otherwise it’s easy to lose face when the time comes.

Although Wang Longqi is really here to eat.

“Aiya, come to Peng Dishenghui…” Shopkeeper Liu quickly got up to welcome him.

This is black and white.

After the welcome, Shopkeeper Liu asked again, “Are there any of the three who have a birthday today? If the birthday is in time, my family will prepare, and there will be extra singing and dancing to celebrate.”

“No need, no need.” Lao Du quickly waved his hand again.

The base material is no longer available for sale, but there must be a few in stock at home, and this meal is still full of aroma.

Wang Longqi asked curiously: “Shopkeeper Liu, your service is so good, why don’t you consider opening a hot pot restaurant?”

“Haha, my family has been in the base material business for generations. , I didn’t even think about getting bigger.” Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile: “As for these additional services, it’s just passed down from generation to generation in my family, eating hot pot is a sacred thing, especially if we eat our own base, we must have the most A good process before and after is the ultimate enjoyment.”

“I think it’s really good, you can also do nails after eating a hot pot, and everyone is definitely willing to come.” Lao Du helped.

“Hahaha, what everyone eats is still the taste. No one would come to have a meal for these odds and ends.” Shopkeeper Liu said: “And the labor cost of opening a store like this is too high. Maid, the monthly money is much more expensive than other people’s.”

“It doesn’t matter, you can increase the labor by 30%, and you can increase the price by 10%. As long as you take care of everyone, you will be comfortable. , no one will mind, and they all have to praise you for being human.” Wang Longqi made a final decision: “Old Liu, if you want to do it, I will give you money.”

“I will give you all the names. Alright, Shopkeeper Liu, your surname is Liu, Qi Shao, you are surnamed Wang, you two partnered up to open a hot pot restaurant…” Lao Du said with a smile on his forehead: “It’s called He Di Lao, how about it?”

Shopkeeper Liu winked: “Is this next to you?”

Blowing, stuffing oneself with food, this meal was enjoyed by the guests and the host.

Finally, Li Chu finished eating, put down his chopsticks, and said, “Should we talk about monsters?”

“Yes…”

Over there, they were discussing opening three branches in a year, dominating the north for three years, and dominating the north and south of the Yangtze River for ten years to become the hegemon in the pot. Only then did they realize that there was something serious to come here today.

“Cough…” Shopkeeper Liu cleared his throat, and then said embarrassingly: “This monster, Dongjiang Valley, is really worrying us…”

“There are some outside the auspicious mansion. A Donghua River nourishes a Dongjiang Valley, and it has always been a place where flowers and plants flourished. There is a herbal medicine in my secret recipe, and only the water and soil of the Dongjiang Valley can grow in a radius of 100 miles.>

“But about three days ago, the Dongjiang Valley was suddenly covered with a layer of white fog. I heard that the herb collectors who went to within the valley disappeared. Later, the guy my family sent out to collect herbs went to three Only one of them came back. Listening to him, when the two people walked into the fog, there was a scream, drag and bite, as if they were taken away by the wild beast. But… how can it be so powerful? A wild beast can kill two living people in an instant.”

“Because human lives were involved, we immediately reported to Skyward Tower, and then there was no more. I heard from friends in the government, After the cultivators of Skyward Tower entered the white fog, they did not come out, and now they are asking for experts.”

Li Chu nodded.

It is possible.

Because of the existence of the Han Dynasty, the Skyward Tower is not too powerful, and ordinary experts do not like to station here. The Skyward Tower in Auspicious Fucheng may not be as powerful as the gangs in the underworld.

“Huh?” Lao Du asked again: “I heard that the Han Palace does not support many elite disciples, but they are recruited from the rivers and lakes. Among them, there are many elites from the cultivation base, and they are also able to help.

The people of the Northland exterminate demons.”

“Don’t mention it.” Shopkeeper Liu twitched his lips and said: “The people in the Han Dynasty’s mansion only recognize money. Say what is in the Northland, please touch them once. I want to get rid of Half-Life. I am a small family, where can I afford it.”

“so that’s how it is.” Lao Du nodded nodded.

“Impossible.” Wang Longqi was outraged.

“Small family…” Li Chu was slightly lost.

I thought the Shopkeeper Liu family property was rich, and this trip would definitely pay off.

Alas.

“Don’t worry, Lao Liu!” Wang Longqi took Shopkeeper Liu’s hand and said heavily: “In order to eat such a delicious hot pot base, I, Li Chu and Lao Du will definitely I will spare no effort to get rid of the demon.”

“Then leave it to Brother Wang!” Shopkeeper Liu eagerly patted Wang Longqi’s shoulder.

……

The three walked leisurely towards the direction of Dongjiang Valley, intending to stroll along the river, which is considered to be a yo-yo after dinner.

The strange thing is that along the way, I saw many passers-by in a hurry, carrying large and small bags of fishing gear, fishing rods and fishing nets, etc., all rushing in which direction.

At first glance, it seems that most of the people of the auspicious mansion have gone fishing.

And both men and women.

“What’s this for?” Wang Longqi was a little puzzled: “Is the fishing trend in Jixiangfu so popular?”

“I remember it wasn’t like this a few days ago…” Lao Du was also very strange, so he grabbed an old man and asked, “This old man, what’s the matter with them, why are they in such a hurry to go…fishing?”

“You don’t know?” The legs and feet are also not good, so I didn’t rush to leave, so I explained to them: “A few days ago, someone caught a golden carp two feet long from the Donghua River. The scales are glowing, and it is extraordinary at first sight. , this fish will wink!”

“At this time, a monk came over and told the man that this carp had spirituality, and he was willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, hoping to release it. Then the fisherman sold the carp to him for a hundred taels of silver, thinking it was an exorbitant price.”

“Who knew the carp would suddenly speak human’s words as soon as it entered the water, saying that he was in the river. Dragon Clan, who just accidentally lost his mana from the water, was rescued by the eminent monk. It gave the eminent monk a scale, which is said to have a magical effect. The man can wear it to keep his golden spear from falling, and the hero can rise again. Keep your youth.”

“Hey, this is really attractive.” Wang Longqi said, “But…the eminent monks are not very useful, right?”

“So now everyone is They all go fishing in the river to catch another Dragon Clan?” Lao Du also questioned, “This story sounds…a bit mysterious.”

“This is true or false. , No one knows. But that eminent monk was invited into the palace by the King Han the next day. This is what many people saw in the street. It was King Han who saw his scales and was willing to pay thousands of tael of gold to buy it. In any case, it’s crazy to make money when you change hands.”

“so that’s how it is, it’s no wonder so many people go fishing in the river. With the intervention of the Han Dynasty, the equivalent to doing this is Witness.” The old man nodded and said: “The wealth and silk are touching, everyone is attracted by the thousands of tael of gold.”

“No…” The old man turned his head and resolutely stepped forward. : “I’m rushing to get up again.”

The three of them looked at the back of the 80-year-old old man, whose feet were staggering but firm, and all cast a respectful look, Said: “Disrespect.”

Sending off the old man, Lao Du frowned again, looking towards Li Chu: “Master, do you think this is something…”

“Yes Kind of weird.” Li Ch u also frowned.

Looking in the direction of Donghua River from afar.

Who is fishing?
