Chapter 29 Qingjiang Fish
The Xijiang River and Jiangzuo are separated by only one river, but the scenery is very different. Jiangzuo has many plains and canals crisscrossing. However, the Xijiang River is mostly hills and basins, with a terrain high in the south and low in the north.
Fortunately, the Sky Cliff is adjacent to the river, so after Ji Liao gets off the boat, he doesn’t have to travel far.
Ji Liao walked slowly in a market. It was almost dusk, and the shouts were still coming one after another, and it was very lively. It did not make the place depressed because of being close to the Demon Sect. From this point of view alone, the Demon Sect may not be as cruel as the rumors in the world, but the groundlessness may not be without cause. The Demon Sect is definitely not a good person.
This market is located on a major road from north to south, but there are very few people in the martial arts world. Ji Liao walked around and did not find many martial arts people. Occasionally, there are one or two people with amazing martial arts skills, and they are also very famous scholars in the magic sect. They walked around the market, but they did not make ordinary people afraid of it. Obviously, similar things happen from time to time.
The Demon Cult is organized in a tight manner and excludes other forces from the martial arts world. Therefore, Four Seasons Villa has no nearby contact points. Ji Liao wants to find a place to live, so he can only go to the inn. The manager of the merchant ship has long helped Ji Liao to book a room No. 1 in Gaosheng Inn, the best inn in the market. Ji Liao will take over here tonight.
The flag is flying, two big red lanterns are hanging high, and there are not many customers coming and going to Gaosheng Inn, because accommodation here is very expensive. But staying here is definitely worth the money. First of all, the food here is delicious. It is said that the chef is an imperial chef who retired from the palace; then the boss lady here is very beautiful. Although she rarely appears, everyone who has seen the boss lady at Gaosheng Inn says that she has never seen a woman more beautiful than her in her life. Some people say that even if there are women as beautiful as the boss lady in the world, they will never have the charming and beauty of her. This is a woman who exudes charming beauty from hair to toes. However, there are not many customers who can see the boss lady, but if you can catch it once, it will make people feel that this trip is worth it.
Since the beauty and charm of the boss's wife are a disaster for the country and the people, there has never been any incident in Gaosheng Inn. This is rare, but it also reveals that the boss's wife has a deep background. Some people rumor that the boss's wife was originally the mistress of a big figure in the Demon Cult, so she could only open such an inn in this market in the north and south. Most of this rumor is considered true. It sounds cruel, but if most beautiful women in the world do not rely on a big tree, she will never be able to live a peaceful life.
Beauty is a blessing for women and a great misfortune.
When Ji Liao walked into the inn, of course he would not be lucky enough to meet the legendary boss lady as soon as he came. After going to the counter to tell him about his identity, he would take Ji Liao to the guest room with a diligent pavilion.
It was an independent small building with rockery, flowing water, and flowers downstairs. At this time, the fragrance was floating, and the moon was at dusk. No matter who lived in such a delicate little garden, he would be in a happy mood.
Ji Liao could not see these scenery, but there were flowers, plants and trees, which made him feel very good. Flowers and trees could be used as his sensory organs. Moreover, if there was any movement, he would be more alert than any discerning person.
If you are a normal person, you will be unacceptable to the environment when you first arrive in a strange place. Especially in this world similar to ancient times, unless you are traveling outside all year round, most people will feel particularly uncomfortable once you leave your hometown. After all, due to limited transportation, most people rarely have the opportunity to go out. Ji Liao showed extraordinary peace, which surprised the knowledgeable Shutang.
Of course he didn't know that Ji Liao was used to being content with things, and the soul hidden in his body did not belong to humans.
Ji Liao naturally had no packages, so he only needed to bring money when he went out. Throughout history, in most places, as long as he had money, it was very convenient. Money is probably the greatest invention of mankind and the most hateful invention. Its function is close to the power of gods, which can also be regarded as an ordinary human being, a challenge to gods in the dark.
"What dishes are there in your store that are more special?" Ji Liao smiled at Xiao Paotang.
Of course, Mr. Ji would not ask which dish is the best, as it seems very nouveau riche. He is not born elegant and noble, but it does not prevent him from enjoying this role-playing role of a noble young man, and he is now a real noble young man.
Paotang smiled and said, "Of course it's Qingjiang fish. If you need it, we will send someone to the river to catch one immediately, which means we have to wait half an hour." Although this place is very close to the river, it is obvious that it needs to catch a fresh Qingjiang fish in a short time. The most skilled fisherman needs to take action.
But only the freshest fish that has just been caught from the river is the most delicious.
Ji Liao knew Qingjiang fish and had also heard that the deliciousness of this fish was famous. He always kept eating fine stews and fine, so he said, "Then make one."
Paotang said happily: "Okay, do you have any other instructions?"
Ji Liao said: "I want a pot of sake and let the chef make three side dishes for me. Remember to have two meats and one vegetable, and pick the freshest ingredients, don't be spicy or too light."
Paotang said, "I'll go and do it now. The food should be ready soon. Young Master wait."
He went out happily because they had commissions for Ji Liao's purchases outside of accommodation.
If you don’t mention the run-in, you will go to Ji Liao to arrange food and drinks. Ji Liao walked to the window. There are five floors in the small building, and Ji Liao is on the third floor. There are no one living on the fourth floor, because the four characters are always unlucky for people who are away from home. As for the fifth floor, Xiao Baotang said that it is not for guests to live there, and as for whom to live there, he did not say.
To enter the fifth floor, you need to walk a separate passage. It is a hanging cabin that operates through the mechanism, allowing people to go directly from the ground to the fifth floor, similar to the elevator function in Ji Liao's previous life. Of course, there is no electricity here, so it is never easy to make such a mechanism, and the structure of that mechanism is definitely a cleverness that ordinary people cannot imagine.
After dusk, it is night. At this time, Ji Liao's five senses are a little sharper than during the day. This is the nature that the body has developed over the past decades. The night is like water for fish.
Soon someone knocked on the door, and Ji Liao asked the visitor to come in directly. Of course, this was the food and food sent by the hall. He first arranged the food and food, and then said: "Young Master, there was a Qingjiang fish that had just been fished from the river. The fish was big enough for three or five people to enjoy, so after it was prepared, I will give you half of it. Do you see if it is feasible? In this way, you can eat it soon, and you don't have to wait any longer."
Ji Liao said: "Then let it be. Of course it is best not to wait."
Paotang nodded and said, "Then I'll talk immediately."
Ji Liao smiled and said, "The other person who wants to eat fish is his own person in your store."
Paotang said in surprise: "How did the young master know?"
