77th Flavor Pine Nut Candy
Residences on Chiyue Island have always been scarce, and even the small woodshed where Hua Xiaomi and the others lived was stolen.
Some people bid higher, but they couldn't afford a higher price, so the shopkeeper's owner was about to drive him away.
"You must be honest in your family. How can you drive people out casually?"
Wu Jingyun looked resentful. If he hadn't been worried that the boss was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he would have pointed at the other party's nose and cursed.
The boss didn't care and just replied: "My fellow Taoist said this bad thing. Our store has a small profit. If someone is willing to pay a high price, it will be necessary to pay a higher price first, or can fellow Taoist offer a higher price?"
"You! You're really bullying!" Wu Jingyun fought all day today, and he was inevitably full of murderous aura. The black-broad iron sword stood up, as if he was about to take action.
The sword energy was so fierce that the boss's heart blew. When a figure passed by, he hurried over to greet him.
"Brother Gu, you see that a customer is going to start, are you adjusting it?"
The person who came with a white beard and white eyebrows looked fairy-like, but he was the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining. After a few words to his boss, he looked at Hua Xiaomi.
"Are you going to cause trouble in the city?"
"It's clear that your shop is bullying customers. Your cultivation is indeed higher than mine, but you can't be unreasonable." Wu Jingyun took the lead in the conversation.
Brother Gu was ruthless and spoke mercilessly. "Two choices, first get out of here. Second, he called the guards to capture you on the grounds of causing trouble in the city."
Wu Jingyun was so angry that he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Hua Xiaomi.
"What the boss does is big business, and we little people are not worthy of it."
After saying that, she was about to pull Wu Jingyun away. After a pause, she turned around and stared at the white-haired Gu brother:
"Fellow Daoist Gu, I heard that the island owner hates bullying people the most, and the same is true for senior Gu Lang."
As soon as these words were said, the Gu brother's face changed, because what Hua Xiaomi said was true.
He originally followed Gu Lang, but he was old and could not improve his cultivation level, so he refused to use him.
In this way, you have to find a good way for yourself.
The boy next to Mr. Gu Cheng came to him and said he wanted him to help him. After thinking about it, it was not dangerous anyway, so he took it.
Anyway, there are just two casual cultivators with no background and low strength. No one knows even if they are killed, let alone just scare them, which must be fine.
I hope that this time I can get along with Mr. Gu Cheng's line, and that I will have a generous reward for the spirit stones, so he will not lose.
Thinking of this, Brother Gu no longer panicked. He went to the market to cook two taels of seaweed wine and went home to tease his grandson.
When he left the door, Wu Jingyun was still full of anger, but when he thought of the scene where the Gu brother was scared to death, he laughed again, poked Hua Xiaomi beside him and asked:
"Hey, how do you know which island owner and Gu Lang are the ones who hate bullying others the most?"
Hua Xiaomi was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk, but she was afraid that the other party would cause trouble by mistake. So she told the other party what she knew and finally added:
"Have you ever seen the Gu brother embroidered with the character "Gu" on his cuffs? When he was in the Gujia Village outside the city, the people there also had the same embroidered characters on their cuffs.
The Gu family is in a big way, so we should not provoke them anymore.”
"Then you can't bully people at will!" Wu Jingyun was so angry when she thought of the boss's ugly face, but she also knew that this was the end of lack of strength.
"Forget it, let's go and find out if there is a place to live."
Even a small woodshed was snatched, so how could there be a place to live in this city?
After walking around, the two of them were about to set up a tent outside the city.
In fact, the night market used to be all night long, but most of the city were qi-refining cultivators who needed rest and practice.
Later, the regulations were changed and the stalls must be closed before midnight. If the movements are slow, the defenders will take action.
Many people outside the city have already grabbed the territory, set up tents, and set up formations.
Although there are many people, they are not noisy, because there are guards watching above the city gate. If the noise is too loud, they will take action.
So it’s just a few occasional conversations, but more of them are practicing, and they look very peaceful.
Hua Xiaomi and Wu Jingyun found a remote place. This area is sparsely spiritual and has few tents around it, which is suitable for those who have just arrived to live.
The tent is sewn from the skin of a tough fish, which is thick to block the wind. Sprinkle a circle of deworming powder around it, and finally a first-level formation protection array is laid.
These were bought by the two of them together. Wu Jingyun has made money in recent days and is still quite rich, but Hua Xiaomi has emptied her old foundation.
When I first came, I had half a piece of spirit stone left on my body, but now I have half of it.
I suddenly felt that life was dark and she had nothing to do. She was so miserable.
The two of them were preparing to implement a system of vigil in turn. Although they felt that it was very harmonious and there were formations to protect them, it would be better to be careful on the first day.
In the first half of the night, Wu Jingyun defended, and Hua Xiaomi started to work hard again.
What I want to do this time is pine nut candy.
The tent is very tight, and if no one lifts it, there will be no fragrance.
First turn on the heat and put it on the pot, take out the brewed maltose and put it in the pot to cook it in medium heat.
Alas~ Actually, she doesn’t like eating candy very much, but Zhaocai Jinbao likes it, so she specially brewed maltose before.
As the name suggests, maltose is the sugar that grows sprouts from wheat, adds corn, sweet potato and other ingredients to steam and cook, and finally press and concentrate.
It is not very sweet. After boiling, the syrup will make a "gum" and "gum" bubble sound, which looks sticky, golden, and exudes a unique scent of sticky teeth.
Wu Jingyun sniffed and came over.
"Hualuo, what are you doing? Why does this smell smell a bit familiar?"
When she was a child, there were probably few people who had never eaten maltose. Wu Jingyun felt that it was normal for her to be familiar with her, so she quickly remembered her.
"No, Hua Luo, how old are you, you still eat candy?"
Hua Xiaomi, who was taking out a handful of pine nuts and doing shelling and peeling, twitched the corner of her mouth. Although she really didn't like eating candy, there was no rule that adults should not eat candy.
"I didn't do this specifically for myself."
"Oh~~ Is that made by your spiritual pet?" Wu Jingyun stared at the pot with his eyes tightly. Matsukori had already put it in the pot and was slowly stirring.
The hot steam steeps, and the unique aroma of pine nuts overflows with the sweet aroma of maltose.
She swallowed unconsciously and stammered, "Actually, my family likes to eat candy, why don't you give me two?"
Hunting Tian is Wu Jingyun's spiritual pet, the eagle whose wings were broken by the gathering storm.
Facing the name Lietian, Hua Xiaomi has complained in her heart more than once. Thinking about it, it is better to attract wealth and treasures, but it is catchy and auspicious to read.
