Chapter 162: Hanfeng Ironware and Port Market
It's the courtyard where we ate Huyan... that courtyard...
Can't laugh, can't laugh. If I laugh now, Mr. Zhongli will definitely write it down in his notebook, knock me out quietly in the middle of the night, and throw me into the cell of Lord Guyun and Osel, right?
Well, it seems not bad, a kind of beauty of eating buffet.
Chen Tianfeng thought randomly, with a tense face, trying to hold back his smile.
Zhongli glanced at him, sighed helplessly in his heart, and remembered Hu Tao's expression after seeing the bill of the courtyard: her almond eyes were wide open, her cheeks were puffed, and her eyes were half angry and half puzzled. Finally, she slapped the bill on the table and asked him angrily, what was wrong with the guest courtyard she personally selected for him...
And this courtyard can obviously be bargained. If you wait for a few months, it may be cheaper. Why do you have to buy it now? I don't know how much the premium is.
"Not far ahead is Hanfeng Ironware. After passing Hanfeng Ironware, go forward and go down the stone steps to the port market."
Zhongli collected his thoughts and spoke in a gentle and calm tone as always: "Last time, you were in a hurry and didn't see the many beautiful views of Liyue Port before going to Mondstadt. It's a pity. I wonder how long you plan to stay in Liyue this time and what you want to do?"
"To be honest with you, Mr. Zhongli, I haven't thought about how long I will stay, but I have some vague ideas in my mind. After doing what I want to do, I may have the idea of leaving." Chen Tianfeng said sincerely.
"I see, then I guess you haven't decided where to go next."
"Well, but don't worry, I like Liyue very much. If you can't think of it, settling down in Liyue is also a good choice."
"..."
Zhongli was silent for two seconds, tilted his head to look to the side, stopped, and naturally changed the subject: "This is Hanfeng Ironware. Do you have anything to buy?"
Chen Tianfeng didn't ask Zhongli what he thought of his settling in Liyue, and followed his gaze to the shop on the side.
Hanfeng Ironware, even in a country like Liyue where there are almost all "century-old brands", the heritage of this blacksmith shop can be ranked in the forefront.
The blacksmith shop is large, but the decoration is not luxurious, but rather simple and heavy. The interior is roughly divided into four areas. Perhaps because it is close to the Adventurer's Association, as soon as the guests enter the door, they are greeted by neatly arranged swords, guns, axes and various protective gear and armor. Although the appearance and style are simple, they are all good things that have stood the test of time.
Beside these shelves where weapons and armor are placed, there are mostly two men dressed as adventurers, with a small iron plate on their collars, and two powerful iron characters reflected on it. A closer look shows that it is "Hanfeng".
At the door of Hanfeng Ironware, there are several Qianyan soldiers on duty. If they see someone who chooses weapons and armor, they will approach in a friendly manner, check the identity of the person, and ask about the purchase intention. After detailed inquiry and registration review, if there is no problem, then send the person away in a friendly manner.
At the same time, do not forget to remind the person to take good care of his things and not let these registered things appear in places where they should not appear.
If there is a problem, then the expression of Qianyanjun will be different depending on the severity of the problem.
If Qianyanjun's expression is serious and no longer friendly, it means that the problem is not big, and at most the purchase application will be rejected; and if Qianyanjun's expression is tense, his eyes gradually become excited and fiery...
Chen Tianfeng looked at the stupid thief who was knocked down by Qianyanjun with three punches but still stubbornly denied his identity as a treasure-stealing group, and then looked at Qianyanjun with great regret, and cast his eyes on his own, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.
Is this treating him as a treasure-stealing group that has fallen into the trap?
Chen Tianfeng shook his head, ignored the gaze of Qianyanjun, and followed Zhongli into the kitchenware area next to the weapons area.
Yes, Hanfeng Ironware also sells various types of metal kitchenware.
According to Mr. Zhongli, the chefs of Liuliting and Xinyuexuan like the iron pots and kitchen knives sold by Hanfeng Ironware the most. If the iron pot or kitchen knife is made by Lao Zhang, the owner of Hanfeng Ironware, then the chefs of the two shops will be tempted and come to buy it in person.
Zhongli said that last time Lao Zhang was in a good mood and prepared for a long time. He made a pot with the standard attitude of making a magic weapon. Neither of the two chefs wanted to give in. They competed with each other, saying soft words, secretly mocking, and refused to give up.
The chefs under the two chefs didn't care about any manners. They rolled up their sleeves and shouted loudly, or stood up for their own chefs with their hands on their waists and spoke harshly. They almost fought.
In the end, Lao Zhang came out in person and repeatedly promised that he would make another iron pot. He was coaxed by the two chefs to promise to make two more kitchen knives, which calmed the dispute.
"In fact, the two chefs of Liuli Pavilion and Xinyuexuan had already discussed it. They brought their people and quarreled deliberately, just to coax Lao Zhang and let him buy more kitchen utensils. As soon as Lao Zhang made a promise, the two chefs smiled and shook hands, and the chefs they brought also changed their offensive and said countless words of praise to Lao Zhang."
"How did Mr. Zhongli know so clearly?"
"I happened to be free that day and had nothing to do, so I just watched the whole incident."
Zhongli looked natural, and there was no sign that he knew the plan of the two chefs in advance and went to Hanfeng Ironware to watch the show.
"So that's it."
Chen Tianfeng nodded, without saying whether he believed it or not. After choosing from left to right, he took an iron pot of good quality and the feel that suited his heart, and picked some necessary kitchen utensils such as spatulas and frying spoons, followed Zhongli and walked to the checkout area.
Halfway through the walk, Chen Tianfeng suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mr. Zhongli, does Hanfeng Ironware accept custom orders?"
"What do you want to order?"
Chen Tianfeng then told him his requirements one by one.
Zhongli listened patiently until Chen Tianfeng finished speaking, and then led him to another area, where all the tools were available, including those mentioned or not mentioned by Chen Tianfeng, and even some metal materials were bought.
Chen Tianfeng was very impressed. With the help of the blacksmith shop assistant, he took the many selected goods to check out, and left Hanfeng Ironware under the puzzled and regretful eyes of the Qianyan Army on duty.
After leaving the gate of Hanfeng Ironware and walking a dozen steps, Chen Tianfeng stuffed the large and small items into the Eye of God, and walked down the stone steps with Zhongli, and was drowned by the oncoming bustle and hustle and bustle.
The port market, thousands of ships gathered and thousands of merchants gathered.
It is said that here, you can buy any specialty of any country. It is the most prosperous place in Liyue and even in Teyvat.
Chen Tianfeng looked around, and his first reaction was that the port market was so big. In comparison, the scene in the game was too shabby; his second reaction was that there were so many people, and the pedestrians and merchants from various countries formed this prosperous scene, which was really shocking.
However...
"Why are there things produced by Hanfeng Ironware here?"
Chen Tianfeng blinked and looked at the Xumi merchant who was shouting loudly to sell all kinds of metal utensils, with a puzzled look.
Zhongli said calmly: "The port market has everything, which is not surprising."
"Then why is the price he sells so high?"
Hanfeng Ironware is right next to the port market, right? Can he really sell it like this?
No! Someone actually bought it? !
Chen Tianfeng was amazed, watching the man buy several items, happily pay, and then turn around, as if he had completed all the purchase tasks, and left the market - the direction he and Zhongli came from.
"...The port market has everything, which is not surprising."
Zhongli's tone was still calm.
