Chapter 196 News, the Best Chef in the Blue Sea
This way, "Shennong" doesn't need to show up, and he can always collect spoils from Bihai City and obtain soul sources.
The things exchanged for Bihai City can also enhance its strength and make up for its shortcomings.
When trading, Saranzhu will simulate a cold synthetic sound, and simultaneously inform the people of Bihai City to understand the process of collecting corpses and providing supplies.
The senior officials of Bihai City didn't find it strange.

Liangshan Village, which only had dozens of people at the beginning, also had to follow the rules. The rules of Xianshan must be more strict, so it is reasonable for the errand disciples to be cold and dull.
Besides, what kind of person is Shennong? He must be worried about the people of Dawu and thinking about how to save the world. How can he do ordinary trivial things himself?
It is professional to give it to the errand disciples to make the best use of it.
Besides, they also got a message from the inspector in Nanye that the outside world attaches great importance to the various medicines of Xianshan, and even Wu Zun is no exception.
Hearing the name of the medicine again, blood tonic pills? Isn't this the medicine that the Immortal Mountain often exchanges for Bihai City!
Bihai City can exchange for one bottle by offering ten or more corpses of demon soldiers.
The three martial masters took a lot of it before they were promoted, and they succeeded in the third round by using the abundant blood and energy it provided.
The excess amount was distributed to the second-round masters, one to two per person, for life-saving and rapid blood replenishment during fighting.
Soul-soothing pills? This fairy mountain exchanges less, but five corpses of demon generals can also be exchanged for one bottle.
Several respected elders in the village are old and mentally weak, and they each took a few pills.
The effect is really good, and they immediately sleep better, and their spirits are better. They can curse for two quarters of an hour in one breath.
The martial master and dozens of the strongest second-round masters also received one pill each, and they felt a lot easier to practice.
Calming pills are relatively scarce, and only ten or more corpses of demon generals can occasionally be exchanged for a bottle.
The city lord and the elders finally held a meeting to discuss this. The three martial masters were to receive at least one pill per year, and the rest were to be distributed in turn to the top ten second-round masters according to their contributions to Bihai City.
If the income was high, the top twenty contributors could also participate in the distribution.
That is, the senior officials of Bihai City were born in the old village of Liangshan Village, and everyone was related to each other. The prestige of the elders and village chiefs was extremely high, so they could share the benefits so fairly.
As a result, according to what the Nanye inspector said, in the four countries of Dawu, the martial masters treasured the blood-replenishing pills very much.
The martial masters even openly forced to buy the soul-soothing and spirit-calming pills.
As for the other drugs with fewer quantities and more special and powerful effects, the inspector did not say, because he was not very clear.
It is not surprising that the senior officials of Bihai City are ignorant. In fact, their growth has nothing to do with the government, sects, and wealthy families in the outside world.
Similar news spread to the middle and senior officials of the four countries, but there was no channel for them to hear it.
To give an inappropriate example, how many people in Gu Ke's previous life could understand the news that the local director was aware of?
Even the classic "hearing from friends" is based on the premise that they have official connections.
No matter if the connection is with a distant relative or the second uncle of a cousin's boyfriend, if they are not related, they will not hear anything.
It was not until the arrival of the inspectors from the middle and high levels of Nanye that they tacitly believed that Bihai City would be finished sooner or later, and then they casually revealed these "well-known secrets", and a group of "country bumpkins" in Bihai City suddenly realized it.
When they separated from the inspectors, the city lord and several deputy city lords were heartbroken, accusing each other of being wrong and not reminding themselves.
Could the medicine given by Shennong be an ordinary medicine? Why did they take it all so naturally!
However, after a burst of cursing, they calmed down, but had to admit that collective drug taking was necessary.
It was because Bihai City insisted on a certain degree of "equal sharing and distribution according to work" that the second and third rounds of "batch" output were created.
In fact, the reserve strength of Bihai City was similar, with thousands of first-level warriors.
Most of them are not talented enough, and in this life they may only be able to barely break through to the second round and become "little masters".
But there are also a small number of people who are talented enough, but because of their young age and late joining, they have not had enough time to practice martial arts and have not had time to advance to the second round.
Especially after the establishment of Bihai City, the population gathered exceeded 200,000.
Most of these people have arrived one after another, and most of them have not received the blessing of the immortal mountain, so they are naturally not sincere enough to the ancestor Shennong.
Without blessing, there is no blessing of the characteristics of the five major martial arts and four major skills, and the efficiency of martial arts training and combat level are far behind, and the growth of strength is slow.
In this regard, the top leaders of Bihai City have no good solution.
At best, let the old people of the village "tell their own stories" to promote the importance of sincerity and the benefits of the characteristics obtained by blessing.
Fortunately, Bihai City, backed by the Shennong Pillar, is not afraid of anyone and demons coming to cause trouble.
Like the three demon kings who came to attack the city, they were full of momentum when they came from a distance, but they suddenly knelt down in front of Bihai City, prostrating themselves.
No one knew what they were doing. The three martial masters who were waiting in full battle array saw the opportunity and their hands and feet were faster than their brains. They went up and smashed and stomped wildly.
The three demon kings did not stand up from the ground until they were beaten into pieces.
A large number of new residents who participated in the defense witnessed this scene. They were originally trembling with fear, but now they were collectively stunned. There was only one thought in their minds: Demon king? That's it?
At that time, Saranzhu, who was in the restaurant of an "acquaintance", calmly withdrew the magical power of Fengtian Zhenyue that suppressed the three demon kings, and continued to enjoy the food prepared by "the first chef of the blue sea".
Afterwards, Bihai City discussed the matter for several days, but the most reliable answer was given that afternoon - the ancestor Shennong, (氵去) has boundless power, suppresses demons and protects Bihai.
After all, there are not many people in the world who can make the three demon kings fall to the street and wait for death silently, let alone come to the remote Bihai City.
When the demon king died, the people "at the scene" were only a very small number of the more than 100,000 residents, but it did not prevent everyone from talking about it as a personal experience.
Besides, the residents did not see how the three demon kings died, but they really saw the three demon kings die - their corpses were dragged through the streets and paraded through the streets to show their force, and most of the residents saw it.
Since then, the number of sincere people in Bihai City and the daily soul sources provided have increased.
That night, Gu Ke took Xiaoman and Saranzhu to walk on the streets of Bihai City, and the crowds were not as turbulent as during the day.
But the shadows of people were still swaying, which was more lively than in many county towns during the day.
Of course, this was limited to several larger streets in Bihai City.
Most residential areas were still relatively quiet, with only the wind-killing lanterns on the lampposts at intervals to illuminate the streets, and patrols passing by regularly to ensure the safety of the city.
The wind-killing lanterns emitting yellow light on the streets had long been squeezed into the corners by the colorful and stringy lanterns, and were inconspicuous.
Inns, restaurants, warehouses, and shops did not close, but entered another busy time.
The blessing that Bihai City received from Gu Ke was not only martial arts.
Many people were also given agricultural and engineering books, and they had plant affinity and ingenuity. They were the best farmers and craftsmen.
The various skills and tools that Gu Ke improved and invented, along with the instructions for "printing" in the Saranzhu version, were given to them together.
Most of the high-level officials in Bihai City are from the old village. After living a life of plenty and good food, they are not very interested in general material and power enjoyment, but are more keen on practicing martial arts and working, as well as spreading the "glory" of Shennong.
Under their personal example, Bihai City as a whole also presents a diligent and progressive atmosphere.
Among these shops that are still in business, there are no "entertainment industries" such as casinos and brothels, but business houses, horse teams, and escort agencies.
Some of them have to receive newly arrived goods, and some have to escort goods to major cities in Nanye.
Bihai City is located in Nanye, but it is independent of the outside world. It does not need to pay tribute to higher-level officials, and the high-level officials in the city have no interest in exploiting the people.
With high productivity and enthusiasm, a large number of exotic crops and various materials are produced every day.
The continuous attacks of the monster group have increased the demand for materials in Nanye Country.
Bihai City sells excess materials to the country in exchange for the most needed population and a large number of goods that cannot be produced by itself.
The journey to transport goods is very dangerous, but this is exactly what Bihai City wants.
The three martial arts masters took turns leading the team, and the second round of masters participated in the escort of the goods in batches.
It can not only obtain resources for the development of Bihai City, but also exercise actual combat and adaptability.
Gu Ke let a team of horses transporting goods pass, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that this place is developing faster than Taiping Village."
Xiaoman was curious: "Logically, the conditions in Zhongting are much better, how could it be so?"
Gu Ke shook his head: "Heroes emerge in troubled times, Zhongting is generally stable, and the big cities around Taiping Village are not so easy to talk to."
Xiaoman blinked: "Let the eldest lady and the others beat them up, and if one is not enough, then two. They will not prefer to be beaten rather than admit defeat!"
In her hometown, there were big conflicts between villages. Either the villagers on both sides fought in groups or the village chiefs fought alone, and whoever lost would give in.
Gu Ke smiled and tapped her head: "That's Zhongting. Whether it's officials or leaders of forces, they have been learning to play tricks since childhood. How can they be as...honest as your village."
Xiaoman frowned and thought, but still shook his head: "Dad said that if the village next door is not honest, it means that we haven't beaten enough."
Gu Ke was speechless after hearing this: This...is actually true.
For various reasons, Taiping Village did not let Meizhu, the two newly promoted martial masters, come forward, let alone the "big killer" of the eldest lady.
Zhongting only knew that there was a martial master in Taiping Village. Although they were a little wary, they were not in awe.
On the other hand, the number of refugees in Zhongting, which was still relatively peaceful and prosperous, was not too large after all.
Unlike here in Nanye, many battles with monsters have caused many people to lose their homes, and there are millions of refugees.
Bihai City took away hundreds of thousands of people, and the Nanye officials did not care much.
A strong cannon fodder city is more beneficial to Nanye.
As for Bihai City's "boasting" of the blessing of the ancestor Shennong, people didn't take it seriously at all.
Nowadays, there are many forces in Dawu Yiting and Siguo that use Xianshan as a banner, and some of them are even more exaggerated.
What's the point of recognizing ancestors? Some idiots dare to claim that they are the illegitimate son of Tiangong.
Wen Zong... Forget it, not only is his appearance too scary, but he is also a sly person.
Most people want to pretend, but they think it is inappropriate - except for Wen Zong, others definitely use pens instead of hammers to scare people.
For this kind of people, the top leaders of Yiting and Siguo concede that they have problems with their brains, and the government loses if they look at them straight.
Bihai City also uses this set, which makes the top leaders of Nanye feel that it is appropriate to position them as "cannon fodder" and they are too lazy to continue paying attention to this side.
The three of them walked on the street and soon arrived in front of a restaurant.
This restaurant is only one floor, about five meters long and wide, with only a dozen tables inside, which is considered small in Bihai City.
There are seven or eight tables of guests inside, most of which are one or two people, drinking slowly, which is different from the guests in other restaurants.
There were two other tables with about ten people, but they were just talking and laughing in low voices, not noisy.
When Gu Ke and his two companions arrived at the door, a waitress came up to greet them with a smile on her face: "Oh, two girls are here, please come in."
"Yes, we are here again. Sister-in-law, find a quiet seat for us." Xiaoman replied very familiarly.
The waitress, Sister-in-law Liu, agreed, and then bowed slightly to Gu Ke: "Greetings, Mr. Gu, you haven't been here for a long time, and Wu Niang has been talking about you many times."
Gu Ke just nodded and smiled, and didn't respond.
It's not that she's putting on airs, nor is Sister-in-law Liu a bad person.
It's that she's quick-witted, and she answered five sentences in a row, which is not her best performance.
In his two lifetimes, Gu Ke has never had the hobby of chatting with middle-aged aunts, so he won't come to ask for abuse.
Fortunately, Saranzhu and Xiaoman are very interested in chatting with people, especially listening to Sister-in-law Liu's gossip about the big and small things in Bihai City, which is more exciting than storytelling.
After all, storytelling emphasizes universality and tries to meet the needs of most listeners.
Liu Basao has been focusing on women's topics for thirty years, and everything starts from the aspects that women are most concerned about.
For example, storytellers will talk about beautiful women loving heroes, and many young women will take the initiative to favor young heroes.
When it comes to Liu Basao, most of them are about the hero and his wives and concubines in the boudoir, and even the backyard grape racks fall down, and the vinegar jar is overturned.
Moreover, Liu Basao is the first batch of old people in the village, and the only people in Bihai City who dare not gossip about them are the elders.
Others, such as why a deputy city lord of Bihai City has scratches on his face on the moon, and why one of the three martial sects is eager to lead the caravan to set off, she can talk about them.
No other reason, a deputy city lord is her husband's nephew of the same clan, and that martial sect is her nephew from her mother's family.
As a relative elder, it's nothing to gossip.
Besides, Dawu has no right to privacy, and people in Nanye Dashan don't care much about these matters between men and women.
Being scratched by his wife until his face was covered in blood was purely due to his own lack of strength.
If he was really capable, he would go home and subdue everyone, brag about it outside, and his brothers and uncles would have to give him a thumbs up and say "brother is tough enough" with full conviction.
This tone is the daily life in the mountains of Nanye, just like talking about who eats a few bowls of rice at home.
As long as they don't grumble in front of each other, everyone will make a fuss about this matter.
The three followed Liu Basao into the innermost part, which was a small room separated by a separate partition.
No one came to "grab the private room" because this room was used by the chef to rest.
The three sat down, and Liu Basao brought a pot of tea and went to the back kitchen.
After a while, a girl in a blue linen dress walked into the room, hung the apron, sleeves, and headscarf she had just taken off on the coat hook beside the door, and then bowed respectfully: "Wu Niang greets you, sir."
