Chapter 28 Professionals in Handling Food Ingredients

"If you want to buy, just pick whatever you want."

"Alas, business has been bleak recently, and this big pot of sugar-roasted chestnuts has not been sold yet."

"It's so hard to get so many customers, but they are still being wasted like this. It's better not to do this business!"

The old lady selling chestnuts sighed, and her tone was faintly full of the meaning of giving up.

Chen Ye smiled in his heart. He actually saw that the other party deliberately said and did this, in fact, to prepare ingredients for himself.

He took out three copper coins from his pocket and put them on the old lady's cart, then selected three larger "meat sculptures" and slowly approached...

During the whole process, the luck halo above his head remained normal. Not only did it not change in a bad direction, but there was a faint blue light and purple air entangled.

"Purple air means that you can get help..."

"Blue light is related to creation..."

"The combination of two different luck auras means that I can get the sugar-roasted chestnuts that the old lady really taught?"

Chen Ye continued to accumulate the color forms of different luck auras to increase his experience and form a systematic knowledge base.

At present, it seems that in addition to the basic eight colors, the luck aura also has a certain degree of color difference and multiple colors interwoven. Even in some special cases, the aura will condense into a specific pattern with symbolic meaning.

At the beginning, the talent of [Eye of Luck] will feel very abstract when used.

But as Chen Ye's understanding deepened, he slowly understood the meaning of the luck aura, as if he had mastered a new language!

Looking around, Chen Ye's eyes adapted to the darkness and could see everything nearby.

He quickly found a thick hemp rope in an abandoned shop not far away and tied the three ingredients together.

He bent down and carried them hard.

"Huh..."

"It's not as heavy as I thought?"

Chen Ye suddenly felt a little surprised. He thought that these three big guys, combined, were more than three times his size, and it would be difficult to carry them with the strength of this thin body.

In fact, there was weight, but it was not as heavy as imagined.

However... this rotten meat stuck to his back, through the thin shirt, a cold, sticky, disgusting slippery feeling made Chen Ye feel as if there was a dark giant worm lying on his back, secreting an unknown liquid at the bottom, and the rotten smell was even stronger.

However, in order to continue the next "cooking god" road, Chen Ye had to pinch his nose and bear everything.

Anyway, he was originally a wanderer, with tattered clothes on his body. He was used to this shabby and dirty outfit, so the discomfort of carrying rotten meat was not so strong.

"Grandma, where should we go to find professionals to handle food?"

Chen Ye packed the three pieces of rotten meat, carried them on his back, and then turned to the old lady selling chestnuts and asked.

"Come with me."

"The professional who handles the ingredients is a rather peculiar-looking lady, we all call her 'Miss Squirrel Fish'."

"Her shop is near No. 21 Shitou Road, on the left side of the east gate exit of Xining Alley."

"Although she has a bit of dementia and slow reaction, she is kind and very hardworking, staying in the shop day and night... Hehe, as long as you have this kind of unprocessed low-quality ingredients, or have the need to exchange ingredients, you can go there to find her at any time."

The old lady selling chestnuts pushed the cart and led the way in front, while introducing Chen Ye with her back to him.

However, her pace seemed very slow, but from time to time she would suddenly appear from the alley entrance on this side to the end of the alley on the opposite side.

Sometimes Chen Ye even didn't care about keeping a wandering walking posture, and needed to jog quickly for a while to keep up, for fear of losing the old lady's position.

He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. With his own experience, it was difficult to judge what kind of characteristic ability this was.

Teleportation system? Teleportation system? Time system?

In short, there are too many types of characteristics in "Strange Era", which are divided into "appearance" and "essence".

The so-called "appearance" refers to the manifestation of characteristics, such as [Flash], which can instantly cross a distance of more than ten meters, hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters.

But the "essence" is the type of characteristics, even different types of characteristics will have similar "appearances".

For example, Chen Ye's [Wanderer's Boots] can theoretically achieve the effect of [Flash] based on the continuous expansion of the weirdness value.

But the essence of [Wanderer's Boots] belongs to "displacement", which can only increase the speed and efficiency of movement.

If there is a wall in front, even if there is enough distance to cross the wall in one step, it will hit the forehead hard and cause a big bump.

But if it is [Flash], it can directly ignore the wall and appear on the other side of the wall.

Even if the "appearance" of the characteristics is the same, due to the different "essence", there will be a huge difference in the actual application process.

Chen Ye couldn't tell what kind of person the old lady selling chestnuts belonged to, whether it was her job or a special item, or whether she relied on the rules...

In short, there were countless possibilities in this world, and he knew more and more that he needed to be humble and cautious. Even as a beta player, he had to always understand that there was endless knowledge here.

Only by always keeping a humble apprentice's heart can we take every next step well!

"Haha, if that old lady were to say it, she would probably say something like 'a true master always has the heart of an apprentice'..." Chen Ye joked in his heart.

When he thought of this, Chen Ye suddenly felt that he meant something to his apprentice, and he seemed to have a digestive feeling similar to that when practicing Erhu. My heart is clear, enlightened, and my mind is clear. In an instant, the whole world fell into his eyes and became clear and bright.

Unconsciously, Chen Ye had bypassed most of the maze-like Xining alleys.

A huge stone arch appears in front, with stone lion sculptures standing on both sides, majestic.

It is the east gate of Xining Alley.

On the left side of the door, only a small shop of about five square meters was still open, with a warm light shining from the window.

"This is where Miss Squirrelfish is." The old woman selling chestnuts said as she walked forward pushing the cart in her hand.

She came to the door of the cabin, knocked politely three times, raised her voice and shouted:

"Ms. Squirrel Fish, we have new business!"

Squeak!

Soon, the wooden door was slowly opened...

A figure as bloated as a meat ball slowly squeezed out from the small door!

The figure walking out of the house had fish gills on both sides of the face. From the outline of the face, a human nose, eyes, and mouth could be vaguely discerned... The long chin was so slack that it could almost hang to the ground, but the lips could The top and bottom are closed, and the neck is as long as a turtle.

The back of the body like a two-meter giant rat has dense scales!

Upon closer inspection, the scales on the back turned out to be bloody bone fingers, just like the hallucination that Chen Ye had when he first looked at the old lady's sugar-roasted chestnuts!

The bone fingers grow on the back like petals, swinging back and forth as they walk, like fluttering water plants.

When Chen Ye's eyes fell on Miss Squirrel Fish for the first time, the only thought suddenly came to his mind -

"I don't usually eat that thing on my back, right?"
