Chapter 727
"Hmm... this, this, wrap it all up for this Prince!"
The little mirage dragon held a crystal cake in its claws, its mouth full of sticky rice, opening its mouth to chew, speaking vaguely, and pointing at the bun shop with its third dragon claw.
Otter-otter dug copper coins out of the bag, threw them beside the steamer, and raised its head to call out.
The little mirage dragon listened for a while.
"Your pork buns are too bland, too much vegetable and too little meat, it tastes tasteless, don't be reluctant to put salt and soy sauce!"
Otter-otter called out again.
"Oh, the dried bamboo shoots are also old. Next time try making snow cabbage and shredded meat filling, that's delicious." The little mirage dragon licked the sticky cake residue on its claws, put its claws on its hips, and flicked its tail like an old man, "Doing business, don't shortchange! There are more than twenty otters in the Liang residence, and several big fish. If you do it well, I'll cover your stall, enough for you to live!"
"Yes, yes!"
The vendor was sweating profusely, pulled out the corner of the oil paper, and nodded repeatedly while packing.
The surrounding people blocked the place tightly, listening carefully to the dragon's words, regarding them as the golden rule.
Thousands of water town people in Jianghuai grew up listening to the Dragon King's stories. Anyone who saw a little white dragon come to shop in broad daylight and didn't kneel down and kowtow in public, consider them to have three points of ability!
Master Liang is worthy of being the son of Jianghuai, the ironclad evidence is like a mountain!
Yesterday, the River God was sacrificed to, the Jianghuai Dragon King flew to respond, a water pillar ten thousand feet high rose from the ground, and today he sent the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace to come in person to assist!
Yixing Town is becoming more and more lively.
And I heard that dragon saliva can prolong life...
Someone's gaze fell on the half-eaten bun left by the little mirage dragon, eyes shining, but the little white dragon looked small but had a big appetite, swallowing it clean in two or three bites, leaving no chance.
"Third Prince! It's been a long time!"
The white dragon and the finless porpoise raised their heads, but saw a young man in white dismount and walk through the crowd.
The little mirage dragon felt the other party looked familiar and sized him up suspiciously.
The young man in white bowed.
"Third Prince, noble dragons have short memories. I am Lu Jia! We met at the Imperial Capital Tianbo Auction in February this year!"
"Oh, it's you!"
The little mirage dragon circled around.
Lu Jia, the third son of Director Lu of the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce!
He called out the name when buying the dragon whiskers, indirectly helping the Heavenly God save tens of thousands of taels, counting as half a friend.
"Why did you come to Pingyang?"
"I came for the sea merchants. I mentioned it before. I arrived in Lanzhou yesterday afternoon and reached Pingyang in the evening. I was busy with my father and brother all night, and only today did I find time to visit Brother Liang. I asked someone for the location and was just about to go to the door when I met the Third Prince by chance."
"I'll take you!"
The little mirage dragon volunteered, waving its dragon claws.
"That couldn't be better!"
Lu Jia thanked him happily. He glanced at the copper coins beside the steamer, took out half a piece of broken silver, and took the initiative to pay.
Otter-otter opened the bag, wiped its arm to take back the copper coins, and gave Lu Jia a thumbs up.
"It has spirituality."
Lu Jia sighed secretly.
There are many royal nobles in the Imperial Capital who love to raise exotic beasts, but mere spirit monsters don't have high intelligence. Seeing one raised like Liang Qu's is a rarity every time. With such ability, running to the Imperial Capital to be a beast tamer could also earn a full pot and establish a sect.
Followed the Third Prince's pace.
The crowd bumped heads and discussed.
"How is it? I said I didn't hear it wrong. People call him Third Prince, he must be the third son of the Dragon King!"
"According to this, there are First Prince and Second Prince in front?"
"Definitely. The dragon has nine sons, each different. Who knows if there is a Ninth Prince. Awang, you kid is lucky, selling a bun and getting the appreciation of the dragon prince, making a fortune, don't you treat us to a few?"
"Buy three get one free, do you want it?"
"Too stingy."
"Do you want it?"
"Yes!"
The jujube trees rubbed against each other, the shade covered the sky, and the emerald vines curled and rushed onto the beam.
"Boss, boss, guests are home! Master Lu Jia! Chen Xiu, make tea! Xinglai, lead the horse!"
The little mirage dragon was bustling and noisy.
Flying through the veranda, a plain hand reached out and grabbed the dragon tail.
"Ouch, don't pull me..."
Long Eying pinched the dragon's snout and raised her index finger: "The Master is in seclusion, don't make noise, be quieter."
"Hmm!"
The little mirage dragon covered its mouth with its dragon claws.
Long Eying pinched the dragon horns and let go of the dragon tail: "It's not easy to learn to speak, just bear with it."
The little mirage dragon nodded and called out in the connection.
Study.
Building bridges and constructing water channels, six characters hung high.
"Time flies, it's been almost half a year since the auction, but the sea merchants said they would come in the middle of the year. I thought Brother Lu would arrive in early June."
Liang Qu poured tea for Lu Jia himself.
"Sigh, late is late, mainly because of an unexpected event in the middle..." Lu Jia looked at the calligraphy and sipped hot tea, turning the teacup, "Hmm, new tea this year? It's fragrant, good tea!"
"Sent by subordinates, I can't tell, but it was sent in April, so it should count as new." It's shameful to say, since Liang Qu became a seventh-rank official, his family had never lacked tea, and he hadn't spent a penny on it, "What delayed you, could it be that you also encountered an attack by the Ghost Mother Sect?"
"Ha, Brother Liang is joking. If the Ghost Mother Sect dares to come, my father will teach them to break another branch. Actually, it was to collect treasures."
"What treasure?"
"Heaven and Earth Long-breath. The fleet went south from the Imperial Capital all the way. After passing Nanjie, the fleet's fortune teller said there might be a vision in Weishanhu, so my father waited for a period of time. As a result, not only was there a vision, but there was also a wisp of Heaven and Earth Long-breath, Rain and Dew! That's how the schedule was delayed. Otherwise, it should have arrived a few days earlier."
Weishanhu?
Rain and Dew?
It sounds like an attribute that can be fused into life-creation.
Liang Qu felt it was a great pity.
He knew Weishanhu. It was outside the Southern Zhili, and if you went north for a while, you would be there. If the old toad was there, it might have been able to sense it when returning to Pingyang at the end of April.
"When exactly did it happen?"
Lu Jia recalled: "Collecting long-breath, it should be? Left after collecting."
Three days ago...
Is there any residue left if I go now?
Liang Qu had always kept the waterway from the Imperial Capital to Pingyang, and it didn't take much effort to go along the Jinglan Canal.
"But fortunately, although the fleet was two days late, the sea merchants haven't arrived yet. Does your River and Lake Office know the specific date?"
"Soon, already at the Toad clan territory, about two or three days."
"Is this true?"
"It won't be fake."
Lu Jia was excited: "Things have opportunities, not before or after, just coincidentally. Only a few days apart, wonderful, very wonderful! The ocean-going fleet returns every few years, like fire cooking oil, it will definitely be a rare grand event!"
It is indeed a grand event...
Liang Qu looked out the window.
Ocean-going fleet, Tianbo Chamber of Commerce, local prefecture and state preparations.
Three-pronged approach.
The boast Wei Lin made last year about twenty times the amount, looking at it now, can definitely be done.
He really earned a great achievement.
Just don't know if the Sea Shopkeeper can eat it.
Barter, including intermediate profits, the volume of materials should be getting larger and larger, but twenty times is indeed a bit exaggerated.
The two chatted happily and talked about many things, each gaining many strange experiences.
Near evening, the fragrance of dinner dispersed, and Liang Qu invited: "I promised Brother Lu in the Imperial Capital that I would treat Brother Lu to a meal when he came to Pingyang. Choosing a day is not as good as meeting a day. If Brother Lu is not busy, let's do it today."
"I dare not refuse! The fragrance of the food in Brother Liang's house is really strong, it directly hooked my gluttons out!"
Midnight.
Liang Qu carried the Yuan wood on his back, held the Fubo in his hand, and was ready to go. He rode on the fat catfish, passed through the vortex waterway, and traveled along the Jinglan Canal all the way. In a moment, he arrived at Weishanhu.
Simply identify the direction.
According to what Lu Jia said, he found the place where the fleet harvested the Rain and Dew.
Sitting on the fat catfish's big forehead, he wandered aimlessly for a circle until the third watch.
The Ze Ding trembled.
Dots of essence light scattered.
The life-creation energy suddenly swayed like a sprouting green seedling.
【Obtained a small amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Rhyme, can consume 3,000 water-marsh essence to condense a Seed of Creation.】
There's a chance!
