Chapter 1010: Xuncaoguo and Yaojue Meat Jerky

Chapter 2788: Xuncaoguo and Yaoju meat

Not far along the street, when Xiao Xiao and others disappeared from Zheng Qing's sight and he could no longer hear their noise, Zheng Qing realized something that he had ignored for a long time.

"Do you feel that the atmosphere in the market this year is different from last year?"

He hesitated and looked around.

In his impression, this trading market on the seabed is very quiet, and it shouldn't be as noisy as it is now, as if it is a market opened by wizards on the surface.

"The organizer has a different style."

The witch put her hands behind her back, walked briskly, and her voice was equally brisk: "This year, the market is hosted by the mermaids. They are the part of the aquatic tribe that admires wizards the most. From manners, behavior, and even appearance aesthetics, they are trying to get closer to wizards. So the style of the market they host is similar to that on the surface, which is not surprising."

Zheng Qing suddenly realized.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw a guest a few meters away turned around and revealed a familiar face.

It was Hilda.

At this moment, he was standing in front of a small stall, holding a small plate, sticking a small piece of live maggot cheese with a bamboo stick, tasting it with relish. As if he noticed the sight coming from the side, he tilted his head and looked over.

"Yo! Good evening, both of you!"

The practical class teacher greeted happily and raised the bamboo stick in his hand: "Would you like to try this 'Casu Masu'? It's a special snack of Quankelai, very interesting!"

As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue and rolled a live maggot that had just escaped back into his mouth, chewed it, nodded with satisfaction, and added his comment: "- It's really very interesting!"

Ugh!

Zheng Qing retched in his heart.

He was not interested in this kind of heavy-tasting food. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how many people recommended the wonderful taste of stinky tofu to him, he had never tried it. Every time he encountered it, he ran as far as he could.

"Did you just see him?" Zheng Qing remembered the witch's previous words.

"No——"

Jiang Yu shook her head slightly. Unlike Zheng Qing who looked disgusted, she was very polite: "Good evening, Mr. Alfonso! Are you going to buy anything?"

"No, just strolling around... and being a guard for Quankelai." Hilda laughed and glanced at Zheng Qing meaningfully.

The boy suddenly realized.

This should be a temporary protection plan made by the school guards. He subconsciously looked around and saw Victor, a muscle man dressed as a couple, and Violet, a purple-haired witch, in another direction. However, seeing that they were concentrating on flirting, Zheng Qing was a little unsure of his guess.

Jiang Yu didn't think so much.

She mistakenly thought that Quankelai hired Hilda as a guard. Strictly speaking, this is a "private job" and is not allowed by the school, but many times, everyone will turn a blind eye.

"You'd better be careful not to be caught by the professors." The witch smiled and waved her hand: "... Then we won't bother you. See you tomorrow afternoon!"

Tomorrow is Friday, and Hilda's practical class is in the afternoon.

"See you later!"

The teaching assistant wiped the copper nails that had just been stained by maggots on his mouth and changed to the next shop.

"Do you want to go in and have a look?"

Zheng Qing noticed that the girl's footsteps stopped at the door of a shop. Looking up, the sign hanging outside the shop had the four characters "Jingshui Baiwu" written neatly in fish script.

The wizards who went in and out of the shop were mostly girls.

??????55.??????

Just a little recollection, Zheng Qing remembered where this place was - Jingshui was a river at the foot of Qingyao Mountain. This water was nothing special, but there were two specialties on the riverside that were quite famous in the wizard world.

One is Xun grass, which is similar in shape to orchid grass, with a square stem, yellow flowers and red fruits. If people eat it, their skin color will become beautiful; the other is ‘Yao bird’, which is similar in shape to wild duck, with a green body, red eyes and a red tail. Eating its meat is good for fertility.

Undoubtedly, Xun grass is what can attract witches.

Snap!

Zheng Qing snapped his fingers.

“I just remembered,” he laughed and pretended to have suddenly remembered: “The doctor said before that his turtles reproduced too slowly, causing him to have no turtle shells to use now... It just so happens that using the dried meat of Yao bird from Jinshui to mix with feed will definitely have a good effect. I’ll go buy some for him, you stand here and don’t move.”

As he spoke, he had already rushed into the shop first.

The girl’s mouth curled slightly, but she stopped and waited outside the store honestly.

In a moment.

The boy hurried out of the store, holding a few pieces of yaojue meat tied with hemp rope in his left hand, and a wooden box with ordinary packaging in his right hand.

"Well, when I went in to buy meat jerky just now, I happened to see this thing on sale, so I bought some... I'll use it to quench my thirst when I get tired." He stuffed the wooden box into the girl's arms.

Jiang Yu lowered his head to open the box, took a look, and finally couldn't help laughing and hitting him: "Do you think Xuncao fruit is a strawberry? Which girl would use it to quench her thirst!"

Zheng Qing inexplicably thought of Victor and Violet he had seen before.

"——Do you want anything?" The witch's cheerful voice came to his ears.

Zheng Qing retracted his gaze, hesitated slightly, and did not intend to reject the girl's kindness.

"I don't need to buy anything."

He looked around, trying to find a familiar tent: "-When we came here last year, there was a fortune teller who worshipped 'Agneg', do you remember where their fish skin tent is?"

"You want to talk to him?" The witch looked a little surprised.

"Can you use a stone from another mountain to polish jade?"

The boy's eyes flickered to a passing nymph, and he turned to look at the girl seriously: "-I should have told you that during the Qingming Festival, I went on a business trip with the teaching assistants to the Silent Forest, and heard a divination in the horse tribe. Those words didn't sound very good. So I wanted to listen to the words of the fish priest."

This was also his main idea for coming to Quanke today.

Last year, the old priest's fish skin tent and the singing of the little fish people left a very deep impression on him.

Jiang Yu sighed softly.

"Do you know what is the most untrustworthy thing in this world?" She suddenly spoke, and the boy who caught a glimpse of a little mermaid who had just passed by was startled.

He immediately looked straight ahead.

"Eyewitness testimony?"

Zheng Qing casually gave an answer - in fact, what he was thinking was 'men are the least trustworthy in women's eyes' - and analyzed seriously: "... many eyewitnesses are sure that they saw the facts, but that is not the whole truth. Just like seeing a leopard through a tube, what a person sees is always limited."
