Chapter 214 It’s still unclear who will be fooled
"Okay, okay, it all depends on the quality of the pill."
Yun Suyue cursed inwardly: Old fox.
The old man took the porcelain bottle and opened it. A pleasant medicinal fragrance filled his nose and he was satisfied. "Well, it's not bad. Although it's not the best, it's rare to have this."
The latter sentence is true. There are not many doctors in the entire continent who can refine pills. Even low-grade, inferior products are treasures that warriors must fight for. The pills made by Yun Suyue herself are rare and top-grade in the world.
Yun Suyue smiled secretly. She certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to take out the pill she made herself. The fragrance of that pill was a hundred times stronger than this one.
But his face still had a bitter and resentful expression. "Then thank you for accompanying us. I've already bought all the food at double the price. I'll give you this healing pill as soon as we find our family and the Ice Dragon Elephant."
Yun Suyue reached out to take the healing pill, but the old man dodged it, "Girl, my rule is to pay the bill first and then fulfill the promise.
Don't worry, I won't cheat.
It’s getting late today, so we’ll set off on time tomorrow morning at noon.”
After saying this, the old man was about to run away.
But with Si Yanzhuo here, how could he possibly run away? He quickly stopped the old man and said, "Senior, this is your rule. It is my rule to pay after the work is done.
I believe you are more than one guide in this ice city."
The old man originally did not take Si Yanzhuo seriously, because he could not feel how powerful Si Yanzhuo was. After becoming a great martial arts master, he could hide his strength and not let others see the depth of his skills.
Therefore, if Si Yanzhuo does not take action, the depth of his martial arts skills will not be exposed, but judging from his age, there will not be a great martial arts master like Si Yanzhuo.
But judging from the aura of Si Yanzhuo grabbing his arm, he was superior to him!
"You?" The old man stared at Si Yanzhuo's hidden face in shock, trying to see Si Yanzhuo's face clearly through the thick mask, but he could not see anything.
He looked at Yun Suyue, who was calm and smiling. These two people... are not simple!
He had long noticed Yun Suyue's strength, and he was already shocked by the fact that she was at the peak of the ninth level.
A little girl could actually cultivate to the peak of the ninth level, and she was still so young. She must have eaten a lot of good things, so he moved the vegetable stall under their noses when Si Yanzhuo and Yun Suyue entered the city gate.
But now it is still uncertain who will be fooled by whom.
He mistakenly thought that the girl was protecting the noble young man with extraordinary bearing, but in fact, both of them were quite powerful.
What else?
Just admit defeat, "Okay, okay, I'll return it to you. We'll make a deal tomorrow morning."
"Of course." Yun Suyue nodded.
Si Yanzhuo then let the old man go, but murderous intent was already in his eyes.
"Let's go and have dinner." Yun Suyue held Si Yanzhuo's hand. After they took a few steps, they suddenly found that there were many pairs of eyes staring at them.
Well, it doesn’t matter, we will fight back when the enemy comes.
Yun Suyue didn't go to a big restaurant to eat, but found a clean noodle shop owned by an old couple and sat down. She ordered some noodles and some delicious side dishes. "It's delicious, grandma, your cooking skills are really good, everything is delicious.
But I suggest you add some pepper to the meat filling in your pancakes, it can remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor, making the pancakes more fragrant.
A bottle of white stuff was placed in front of the old lady. She had never seen anything like it in her life. "Oh, what is this, young master? It looks like white flour."
"This is called white pepper powder, a new seasoning. If you don't believe me, you can sprinkle some on the pancake filling in your hand. Just a little bit is enough. Bake it and try it."
The old lady was persuaded by her words and immediately did as she was told. She made three pancakes in a row and put them in the oven. Soon, a fragrant smell came out. The old lady who had been baking for a lifetime and her husband couldn't believe it:
"It smells so good! When this aroma comes out, the gluttony in my stomach starts to stir. Hurry up, old woman, give me one to taste."
The old man rolling out the dough immediately threw away the rolling pin in his hand, and gathered around the oven, eagerly waiting for the pancakes inside. Even passers-by were attracted by it.
"Is that the smell of scones from your house? Quick, give me two."
"I want eight."
In a moment, the shop was crowded with people, and there were many people gathered outside the door, all because of a bottle of pepper.
Yun Suyue and Si Yanzhuo ate their meal calmly, elegantly and slowly.
After all the cakes were sold, the old woman and the old man sat opposite Yun Suyue and Si Yanzhuo. "Thank you so much for the pepper powder, young master. I want to buy some more. Do you have any left?"
The old lady said, “This meal is to thank the two gentlemen. It’s free. Please sell us some pepper.
If you two need a place to rest at night, you can go to my wife's house if you don't mind.
A few years ago, my son and daughter-in-law went to the Arctic Ice Field and never came back. The house is empty. I wanted to try my luck out in the outskirts and hunt a black gold wild boar to sell for more money to treat my grandson's illness, but I never thought... Alas.
Yun Suyue didn't want to know about other people's affairs, so she gave the old lady two bottles of pepper, hoping to learn more about the Arctic Ice Field. The old lady and the old man were both indigenous people here and had been here since they were born.
The two old men talked a lot, telling everything they knew, and finally talked about the city lord's auction.
When they walked out of the noodle shop, it was time for the auction at the City Lord's Mansion. When they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion safely, the auction had already begun.
The ticket cost ten taels of silver per person, and then you would get a wooden number plate. Their number was pretty good, 666.
When I entered the underground auction house, I was at the back of the crowd. A herb was being auctioned on the stage and the competition was fierce.
An ordinary hemostatic purple-blue leaf that was originally sold in Qingzhou City was sold at a sky-high price of 12,000 taels of silver here.
"Si Yanzhuo, here comes our chance to make a lot of money." Yun Suyue saw a business opportunity to quickly fill the national treasury. The recent series of wars had caused heavy casualties, and half of the national treasury was taken up by the post-war pensions alone.
"Okay." Si Yanzhuo swept his sharp eyes over the followers, and those people scattered around them, having already set their sights on him and A Yue.
Since he has been targeted, he is not afraid of more people. He will kill them all at once when the time comes.
Yun Suyue casually bribed a servant from the City Lord's Mansion and asked him to take them to find the woman in charge of the auction, a middle-aged woman whose skills were comparable to hers, a mature woman who still retained her charm despite her age.
The first time I saw Yun Suyue: jealous!
When I saw Si Yanzhuo: covetous!
However, Si Yanzhuo gave her a cold look, and the woman instantly gave up her covetous thoughts and quickly changed the subject.
"I wonder what the two distinguished guests are looking for from me, to buy or to sell?"
Yun Suyue stood in front of Si Yanzhuo and said slowly, "It's OK to buy or sell. What's the price?"
The woman was stunned for a second, looking Yun Suyue up and down, her eyes still on Si Yanzhuo, "Young Master, you look very unfamiliar. Is this your first time in Ice City? You're the first one who dares to speak to me like that."
"So? You only look at the appearance and not the possessions, okay?" Yun Suyue's voice also became cold. This woman just fell in love with Si Yanzhuo.
