Chapter 7 7. Talisman
Hey, what a childish person!
After watching the farce, Yuyao chose the pickled beans and beancurds recommended by his old man. He was not in a hurry to eat it, and took a stroll around the Qiaotou restaurant with the tofu curds.
This variety of breakfast food was an eye-opener for her who only ate Bigu Dan all year round in the mountains.
Although there were many children playing around, there were no scenes of children causing trouble, and everyone could enjoy breakfast comfortably.
The old man's bean curd is full of bean flavor and melts in your mouth. The sour beans are sour and crispy. It's no wonder that the children remember it for so long.
After eating Douhua, Yuyao planned to go to Zhao Street. Her talisman pens were almost squeaking from the talisman drawings she had made on a whim that day, so she had to buy a few spare ones and check out the market.
After passing the bridge and turning the corner, there is Zhao Street.
She just arrived yesterday and didn't have time to take a closer look, but she vaguely remembered that this was a shop with elixir talismans. She wanted to see the difference between the elixir talismans here and those she saw in the sect.
The shop selling talismans is actually easy to recognize. But as soon as he entered, Yuyao was stunned.
At the first glance, you can see that there is a chubby little fat cat holding a gold ingot on the shopkeeper's table. Although this cat cannot be said to be exactly the same as the little fat cat, it can be said that there is no difference.
Is there any relationship between this store and Maoerqiao?
The shopkeeper was used to every customer coming to his place and saw the surprised expression on the little fat cat on the table, so he was very calm.
The shopkeeper explained to Yu Yao in the most helpless tone, "Our boss likes the little kitten from Maoerqiao very much. Unfortunately, Maoer doesn't want to recognize his owner anymore, so he can only ask someone to refine one."
After explaining, the shopkeeper pointed to the wall at the entrance that was covered with wooden signs, and said to Yuyao: "Fellow Taoist, let's see what we need. We have a lot of business here. If there is nothing on the wall, we can discuss it."
Yuyao raised his head and glanced at the wooden wall. The store's business was written on the wall in a concise yet easy-to-understand manner.
Yu Yao quickly scanned the content, and then said, "No. 3 and No. 7."
What Yuyao chose was the in-store jade slip introduction to the price of purchasing elixirs and talismans, as well as the purchase of talisman pens.
The shopkeeper asked what kind of talismans they had and gave the corresponding price, "For attack talismans, our store only accepts the top three quality talismans in Xuanhuang. The attack power of yellow talismans is useless to monks, and they cannot be sold for a high price, but auxiliary talismans
It’s still accepted, a dozen is worth 100 spirit beads to 3 spirit stones. The Xuan-level talismans, except the attack talisman, are all purchased at the price of 3 to 5 spirit stones each. The other details still depend on the talisman.”
1 spirit stone is equal to 1000 spirit beads.
Yuyao calculated it and found that on average, the price of the purchased talismans was about 50% higher than that of the sect. This shocked Yuyao greatly.
She can receive nearly one hundred spiritual stones every month when she turns in the talisman. If the price here is the same, how much money has she been cheated by the sect?
No wonder the disciples of the sect like to buy talismans from her so much. Even if she raises the standards of the sect’s sales by two levels, there is still an endless stream of customers. She feels like she is being taken advantage of!
Yu Yao didn't buy any talismans, and the shopkeeper didn't say anything. After watching Yu Yao go out, he sat back on his chair and waited for the next customer.
After leaving Yuyao, we went directly to the next store, Baibao Pavilion.
Baibao Pavilion is different from the one she is going to now. Baibao Pavilion is a store jointly established by Qingyun Sect and other immortal sects to attract consumption from casual immortals and provide services to disciples who go out on missions. It mainly sells runes and talismans.
Alchemy furnace, and a treasure bag rarely seen in the outside world.
Although the price is slightly expensive, the quality is guaranteed and there will be no malfunctions.
For Yuyao, there is not much difference in the talismans and pens. Baibao Pavilion has more patterns than other shops, but they are durable.
Although the clerk strongly recommended it, Yuyao was not moved at all. He only bought a dozen of the cheapest talisman pens, and then went out and went shopping along the street.
After buying the talisman pens, the flow of people on Zhao Street has increased. Zhao Street is indeed the most prosperous area in the town. Although the crowds are constantly flowing, they are also orderly and there are no incidents.
As noon was approaching, the smell of food wafted along the streets and alleys. Yuyao followed a boy who was pestering his mother to eat Chengji Roast Chicken today and came to the alley behind Zhao Street.
“Here comes the fragrant and crispy roasted chicken. It’s a time-honored brand for more than 20 years. Here’s one, sir. I guarantee you’ll want to eat it again.”
"Come on, come on! Sweet and delicious coconut chicken soup. Our soup base is pure coconut milk, without adding any drop of water. It clears away heat and relieves internal heat. It nourishes yin and nourishes yang~"
This small alley is full of food shops that have been converted from residential buildings. There are so many types of food that Yuyao has seen here, it is dazzling. The new monks don’t know where to start. The old gourmets have already taken over.
Good seat waiting for the table to open.
"Two meat pot helmets!"
Yu Yao scanned around and stopped in front of an old man's boiler. He watched the old man skillfully stick a piece of meat-wrapped dough onto the dark wall of the stove where the fire was still burning.
The old man was skilled in his skills, and his rough hands kept flipping the chopping board back and forth in front of the stove. After a while, there were seven or eight more doughs on the stove wall.
The fresh meatloaf exudes a charming flavor. Although the taste is not as strong as the pickled cabbage meatloaf next door, it has the different crispy texture of the juicy meatloaf.
The meat and vegetables wrapped in the crust are roasted to perfection, and the slight sweetness of the sugar allows even diners who don't like sweets to take more bites.
Yuyao found that the mortals here seemed to prefer this sweet plum and vegetable pancake. She glanced at the copper coins given by the mortals and hesitated before taking out a few coins from her sleeve, which was actually a storage bracelet that looked like a bracelet.
"How many plum and vegetable pots would you like, girl? Sweet or savory?" The business of this pancake shop is really booming, but this young man who looks very much like the old man who makes pancakes is also very nimble and very fast.
, people are also smart.
Yu Yao pointed to the stack of pancakes that had just come out of the oven and asked, "Is that sweet or salty?"
Yu Yao's voice is very soft, not as cold as the voices of many common fairies, and a little gentler than ordinary fairies. However, she doesn't speak often and deliberately restrains the pressure of a monk. She seems to be the same as a fledgling mortal.
There is no difference in practice.
Years of cultivating immortality have prevented her appearance from changing too much. She is not as mature as a mortal woman, and she still has the appearance of a girl between her eyebrows. Although Yuyao's appearance cannot be said to be bright and attractive, her face is better than her kindness, so even if she is stern
There is no fear in anyone's face.
The diners who were addicted to the delicious food looked up and saw a beautiful girl standing in front of a dark stove with a curious look on her face. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Sister? Is this the fairy you are talking about?" A child drinking broth looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, shook his head and stared at his sister.
Although Yuyao changed into mortal clothes and tried to travel as low-key as possible, her outstanding demeanor could not be lost to mortals, and it would be obvious to others after she was discovered.
The cardamom girl, who was addicted to spicy soup and was woken up by her younger sister, met Yu Yao's eyes and was immediately at a loss. She blinked a few times in a panic. After calming down, she glared at her ignorant sister.
Said, "Eat your soup! Stop talking nonsense. If you don't eat it, give it back to me!"
The child didn't dare to look at Yuyao after being stared at by the cardamom girl, so he quickly drank a few mouthfuls of spicy soup to calm down his shock.
The child Yu Yao was paying attention to stopped saying anything. The people around him glanced at him a few times and all looked away. They didn't dare to look at her blatantly, but they still glanced this way with their peripheral vision.
The sweet pickled vegetable pot helmet that Yuyao ordered was quickly wrapped in paper by the waiter. After taking the food and paying for it, Yuyao quickly took it and left.
After leaving the alley, Yu Yao took a look at her clothes and attire, and found that although she hid her cassock under the silk cloth, compared to others, she was still wearing gorgeous clothes, and with her appearance, she did seem a bit eye-catching and easy to wear.
Be recognized.
When Yuyao was at a loss, the cries of children along the street reminded her that the monks at the Bell and Drum Hall seemed to have prepared a map for her?
