Fast Travel: 108 Ways to Repair Heaven
Chapter 55 Ghost Villa
According to Kuroro's request, Suihan wandered around the teahouses and restaurants in Chongyang City, and inquired about the current situation of people in the Jianghu in the city from a few singers.However, it seemed that because of the wealth and power involved, everyone was quite wary of outsiders. Sui Han observed, but did not invite these people.
Let’s see and walk around, Sui Han went all the way to the Fuwei Escort Bureau where Kuroro was located—by the way, although the Escort Bureau only appeared in the Qing Dynasty, it seems that all martial arts novels will mention the special Escort Bureau Business.
About 500 meters away from the Escort, Suihan felt Kuroro's ability, and heard Kuroro's voice after linking to the sea of consciousness. It turns out that this ability can not only be used for communication, but also has a certain detection ability.
[Suihan wants to do something with me?I'm not in the Escort, you can wait for me somewhere nearby. 】
So Suihan and Kuroro agreed to meet at a nearby tea shop. At this time, the tea shop mainly sold various kinds of sencha and cold drinks. There is no such thing as a large bowl of tea made in water in later generations, and its function is similar to that of a modern coffee bar. A class of dessert houses.
It wasn't just Kuroro who came, but also the burning flames. The two of them carried something in their hands and wrapped it in a bundle. They didn't know what it was.
After briefly reporting what he had seen and heard for the day to Kuroro, Sui Han finally concluded: "I feel that these people are unwilling to go with other people. I'm afraid we can only go with the protagonist in the end."
But Kurolo just covered the corner of his mouth with his hands, and said with a gentle smile: "You don't need to care about that kind of thing. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you invite others to join the team. I just need Sui Han to act like you are asking around. That's it... In this way, first of all, more people in the Jianghu who don't know or don't know about the matter will know about the villa, and secondly, for those who already know, your action is equivalent to telling them , soon someone will go to investigate Nether Villa.”
After a pause, Kurolo continued to explain: "No one will take the initiative to form a team with others in this kind of thing, but at the same time, no one is willing to take a step slower than others. After all, if the movement is slow, it is likely to You can't get anything...but if it's too early, it will become a pathfinder and cannon fodder. So just let these people know that someone will make a move soon, then they will naturally pay attention to your departure time, and wait until you If we leave, they will naturally find an excuse to follow or go with us ... We don't really need to invite anyone."
Sui Han: "..." But you clearly didn't say that yesterday.
Probably seeing the resentment in Suihan's eyes, Kuroro explained with a smile: "I didn't tell Suihan yesterday, mainly because I hope that Suihan's actions today will be more authentic." By the way, he also observed What is the level of this person's brain power... The conclusion is very pleasing. This person is indeed similar to Wojin, with strong obedience and poor brain, so it is easy to handle.
Sui Han's intuition seemed that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. Seeing that the two people on the opposite side seemed to be taking it for granted, he had to swallow his doubts in his stomach.
[It is really important to have a partner and teammates... But strange partners and teammates are too unreliable. This Kuroro is obviously very good at layout and design. A teammate is certainly more reliable than anyone else, but if the other party decides To sell me, I don't seem to have much room for struggle...]
Even though he thought so, Sui Han also knew that he didn't have many other options now, not to mention that he had come to learn from his predecessors, and thinking too much was of little value except to increase the gap between the three of them.
Back at the inn, Zhui Ming was already here. He didn't wear a bamboo hat today, but sat in a corner of the inn lobby with his hands propped up, his wine gourd still in front of him.Sitting next to him was a man and a woman. The man was handsome and handsome, and the woman was pretty and dignified. To put it simply, it was the kind of person who could be seen as the hero or heroine at a glance in film and television works.
Seeing Sui Han walk into the inn, Zhui Ming took the initiative to say hello, and Sui Han took advantage of the opportunity to sit down at the table, and the four of them happened to fill a small table around the table.
The helpers who came in with Suihan immediately came to the table - the so-called helpers are actually some gangsters. They don't have a serious job. They usually make money by sitting at the door of various restaurants and wineries, watching the guests enter the restaurant. Take the initiative to ask, clean, order, deliver, serve as a waiter, and exchange some rewards by the way.They can help shop owners save labor without wages, so the bosses are happy to ask them to help.For the waiters in the shop, a few more people can help during the peak period, which can not only reduce their workload, but also avoid making more mistakes. Anyway, they have fixed wages, and they are not short of the two rewards, so it doesn't matter. .
I saw the gang wiped the table vigorously, and asked Sui Han and the others: "Have you guys ordered? Do you want to try the signature dish of this restaurant? I secretly went to the back kitchen to see it today. Today the chef made oranges stuffed with crab, which is very rare... There are not many oranges in total, but the total number is not many. The Ruyi Building next door has a new pastry made of chestnuts. It is said that it is a new recipe from the south. I guess The new cakes are coming out soon, do you want to buy some for some of you?" The helper has this ability, not only to help you with the work in the restaurant where you are sitting, but also to run errands, buy snacks, serve fruits, and sing songs. Ji, wait, it's very useful.
The heroine Wu Caiyun seemed to be very interested in the new dim sum, and she took out a sling of copper coins from her body and handed it to the gangsters: "You can go and see the dishes, there are no restrictions on the categories, but more refreshing meat, crab stuffed oranges cost 4 One. Then you go to see the new cakes and buy a box, and other four-color dim sums also come with a portion, you see some kumquats on the road, and you can see that the other dim sum fruits are suitable for the four of us. I will reward you a lot." The gang took notes carefully, and ran away in agreement.
After a while, 6 appetizers arranged in wishful shapes, paired with two-color fruit plates of kumquat and pear, and four-color open soup were served.During the period, Zhui Ming had already introduced Sui Han and Yin Chengfeng to each other, and after greeting each other, they were considered to know each other.
He raised his head to drink up the wine in the gourd, and called a waiter to come over and hand him the gourd for him to help fill up, then turned to look at Sui Han and asked, "Sui Han, do you have any new news today? "
Sui Han thought for a while and said, "I was wandering around the city today, and I found a lot of people from the rivers and lakes who came to the Nether Villa... I also went to meet the two friends I mentioned last time, and they are also quite interested in the Nether Villa. , ready to go with us."
After a pause, Suihan then briefly introduced the situation of Zhuoyan and Kuroro, and shared the information about Chen Ziyu that Kuroro told him yesterday with Zhuiming.
"Your friend in the escort agency... I'm afraid it's not easy..." Zhui Ming stared at Sui Han after listening to Sui Han's words and said: "Then Chen Ziyu disappeared without a trace after going crazy, But I didn't expect that I was still in Chongyang City, and in the largest Fuwei Escort Bureau in Chongyang City... Tsk tsk tsk, unexpected."
Wu Caiyun frowned and asked: "Should we go to negotiate with the Fuwei Escort? Cousin should know a few prominent figures in the Fuwei Escort..."
Zhui Ming shook his head and said: "No need, if the Fuwei Escort Bureau did it themselves, then they would never admit it. If they just guarded Chen Ziyu according to the request of the guest, and for the sake of the guest, they would not admit it... ..." As he spoke, he peeled an orange and threw it into his mouth, biting until the sweet and sour juice overflowed, and then said: "Besides, no accident, that friend of Sui Han has already investigated everything we can find... Even if we try to get people out, we can only come to the same conclusion."
Yin Chengfeng was a little puzzled and said, "Brother Zhuiming is so sure that what this Sui Han young man's friend said is true? What if his investigation is not thorough and the conclusions he draws are not reliable enough?"
Zhui Ming smiled and shook his head: "Not necessarily, because the conclusion drawn by my friend Sui Han is actually the conclusion I have drawn a long time ago... Today I have already inquired inside and outside the city, and I also went to Chongyang County to investigate After taking the relevant case files... I am [-]% sure that the Nether Villa is most likely a trap, but so far, we have not been able to speculate on its purpose and targets."
"Then what shall we do next?" Sui Han asked.
Zhuiming scratched his unshaven chin, thought for a while and said: "We will still follow the original plan and set off to explore this Nether Villa in three days. Everyone has made some preparations in the past few days. Suihan, you can also let me know Your two friends... that's it."
The conversation about business matters ended here, and the helper brought back the fresh pastries he bought at this time, plus the ring cakes served by the store.The so-called ring cake, also known as fried sazi, is made of flour, oil, and eggs, pulled into thin noodles, fried in an oil pan, picked up when golden and crisp, and eaten after cooling.It has the reputation of "fried with green oil to make a deep yellow".
At the same time, it was served with matching hot dishes and crab stuffed oranges.In ancient China during this period, stir-frying had not yet been invented, but a lot of oil was used for cooking. Frying and frying were common cooking methods.However, many foods that pay attention to aesthetics, such as this crab-stuffed orange, must be steamed to be both delicious and beautiful.The so-called crab-stuffed oranges are made by truncating the tops of big oranges, gouging out the stalks, leaving a little juice, and putting the peeled crab paste and crab meat inside.Cover the upper part of the orange with pedicles, put it in a small steamer, steam it with wine, vinegar, and water, and add wine and salt when taking it out.The taste is both fragrant and fresh, making people feel like new wine chrysanthemum, orange and crab.
……
Three days later, Sui Han, Zhuo Yan, and Ku Luoluo met Zhui Ming outside Chongyang City. Ku Luoluo claimed to be Gu Luo, which was a very normal Chinese name.After seeing each other and getting to know each other, the group of six headed towards the Nether Villa.
The author has something to say:
The discussions in these chapters are all carried out at the dinner table, which is also the habit of the Chinese, but discussing things while eating will be more or less unfriendly to hungry readers... I can only express my gratitude here. (xing) to (zai) hug (le) sorry (huo)... everyone!
