Chapter 7: Ice Soup
The unveiling ceremony of the Xiangtang Bookstore was messy and went to the halfway, and before it was the turn of the ribbon-cutting session, the sky was dark.
At this time, the black mother was also stunned by the old master, and the surrounding crowd was surging, and Meng Qi judged the situation and knew that the ribbon-cutting part had to be omitted.
The old master's eyes were closed, and the black mother tried with her hands, well, only the breath was out but not the intake, and the appearance of being full of opinions in the past was like the complete melting of ice and snow, and now she was grinning with a big mouth on her black fat face to cry.
Mengqi insisted on using medicinal soup to save people, and ordered his rabbit soldiers to disperse the melon-eating masses, so he led two rabbit spirits to carry the old master and went to the store.
As the old master expected, the Xiangtang Book Shop opened a business of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and played a "bookstore" in accordance with the business contract.
Walking in, the main hall from the wall to the counter, full of pawnshops are full of all kinds of books, there are no students as treasures, love to read the wild history of the king continent, only all kinds of official history, even when the black mother's mana was not completely lost, imitated by memory of the four masterpieces of the earth, Balzac's ninety-six human comedies, the works of Dumas, the works of the three Brontë sisters, etc., etc., Of course, the "Spring and Autumn Period" and "Shangshu" written by the old master of the earth are also among them.
However, these books that smelled of ink, and the two owners of the fragrant soup shop never expected any students to read them. Not to mention that there is no shortage of books in Jixia Academy, even if there is a lack of them, promising young people who really love this kind of serious books will not set foot in this kind of place. The guests who passed by the door would only give a code to Xiao Er, who ran the hall, and then happily led the soup pool at the back.
The front hall façade is narrow, and it will come to an end in ten zhang. If you want to go to the rear, it's a great place! There are more than a dozen rooms with round or square, or alternative art shapes, each pool can accommodate 20 bathing people, and the maximum number of guests can reach more than 300 people!
In addition to the well-known soup room, there is also a special "reading room", where there are few books and refreshments and delicacies.
Not only is the girl entertained in the room as beautiful as a flower, and the tea utensils are precious and exquisite, but it also fills with a strange fragrance that is not found in any restaurant or tea room on the mainland, and the black mother tells Mengqi that the fragrance comes from a drink called "coffee".
The excitement produced after drinking coffee is more fierce than green tea, but coffee is not as harmful as smoke, although it has no unique benefits for the human body, and drinking more can also refresh and diuretic.
The old master is tall and extraordinary, and he has never eaten fireworks in the world all his life, how could he ever come to a place like a bathhouse? But he didn't think that one day he would be carried in, and with a "poof", he threw it into the public soup pool that he hated and thought must be infested with bacteria!
Throwing the old man in with his clothes, shoes and socks, Hei Mu and Mengqi were relieved, thinking that the teacher was saved.
Mengqi said: "Brother, the Arctic soup room is full of soup, it is soaked in ice water from the Arctic Mountain, and throwing a corpse into it can bring it back to life, your teacher is still angry, he will definitely not die, why don't we go to the reading room to eat and drink, and talk by the way?" It's late, it's time for dinner! ”
After Mengqi's reminder, Hei Mu's belly also rumbled a few times, but he had no choice but to agree, jumping and knocking Mengqi's hair head while agreeing: "You foodie, you will only think about eating when the sky falls!" ”
The two of them fought all the way and went straight to the "reading room".
The bath water in the Arctic soup room was indeed cold enough, and the two of them left on the front foot, and the old master woke up on the back foot. As soon as he woke up, his old bones hurt as if they were pricked by needles, and he almost burst into screaming, but when he squinted at his surroundings, he immediately covered his mouth with both hands, and only "whined" twice in pain, chatting to vent.
The water is cold, the old master's heart is even cooler, he is called desolate!
I am famous! O author of "Spring and Autumn" and "Shangshu"! Three thousand disciples! Just brought people into the land of fireworks like this?
Looking at the clothes, the master felt a little comforted, the two little rabbits still had a little conscience, and they didn't strip him naked.
The master is not old-hearted, and his brain turned very fast, and he thought: "The old man is here if he doesn't come, is it considered that he has successfully penetrated the enemy?" With my business card face, they will definitely not let me go to the back hall when I usually come, so I can only be confused by appearances. Today, it is just right to investigate such filthy places, and when they are caught, they can also call the officials of the government to arrest people! ”
After making up his mind, the old master was happy, and stood up from the bath tremblingly, fortunately, this shop opened on the first day today, and the pool has not been used by other guests, and he is the first person to freeze.
In order to prevent anyone from being alarmed, the old master's movements were called light, but the sound of his teeth rattling and rattling sounded like thunder when he listened to it.
He's cold!
Fortunately, an elegant round platform is surrounded by oak wood in the corner, and the charcoal fire is burning in the center, which is specially prepared for bathing guests, so that they can enjoy the wonderful feeling of ice and fire. There is also a good cold medicine in the footboard in the corner of the house.
The old master didn't care whether the rapid alternation of hot and cold would cause problems with the old body's bones, so he trembled and climbed onto the oak round platform, sat down by the fire, and scolded his mother with a bitter face while roasting the fire.
Fortunately, it was not a cold winter at this time, and it didn't take much effort for the master to warm up. His clothes were dry and he didn't tremble, and he decided to immediately start implementing Plan No. 2: to be a spy.
At this time, Hei Mu and Mengqi were sitting at the dining table in the knowledge reading room.
Hei Mu said: "Okay, you are a sassy person, you give such an elegant name to the place where you read the little yellow book, and you still want to know!" I'm going to ......."
Mengqi nibbled on the delicious chicken carrots, that is, the chicken was crumbled into a puree, and then made into a carrot shape to increase the rabbit's appetite, and replied with a grin: "Brother, aren't you asking me to do all this fine work?" Are you not satisfied? ”
"Satisfied~" Hei Mu waved her hand indifferently and said: "Actually, I agree to work with you, and the purpose of opening a bathhouse to work against the master is just to attract suitable team members." Finding the Book of Heaven is a big deal, and I can't let my mother's only wish come to naught. ”
Mengqi threw the chicken and carrots when he heard this, and Flim came over and asked, "Brother, you keep mentioning your mother, what are you from?" What do you say the King Continent came from Ark 3, and what is Ark 3? Isn't it worth the money? Can you fall asleep? ”
The black mother slapped him away and said disgustedly: "Go away, go away, you native demon seed knows a fart!" Find the cat communicator, and the origin of the King Continent will be clear at a glance, otherwise you guys, including super intelligent life forms, everyone will think that the King Continent is the only planet in the universe, and lose the consciousness of self-protection. If one day a creature from another planet calls, and I lose all my mana because I have to become a game element, who will protect you? ”
