Chapter 9: Meeting Xiao Yutong Again
With a plan in mind, Chen Wangbei didn't hesitate.
He stood up and picked up the bag of medicinal materials to leave, because brewing medicinal herbs requires utensils, and he was going to buy utensils to refine the elixir now.
So he walked for a while and came to a commercial street. Seeing the bustling streets with busy traffic, he squeezed in without even thinking.
But after walking around for a while, he found that this was an ordinary casual snack street, and they didn't sell those medicine refining utensils at all.
"Hey, brother, do you know there is a shop selling alchemy furnaces there?"
Chen Wangbei walked to a vendor selling stinky tofu and asked.
"Danlu? Buy a piece of stinky tofu first and I'll tell you, it only costs five yuan!"
The vendor looked at him and said.
Chen Wangbei was stunned when he heard what the vendor said, but without saying anything, he took out five yuan and handed it to him: "Let's have one."
"Okay!" Seeing that Chen Wangbei really bought it, the vendor quickly accepted the money and said while making stinky tofu: "Brother, why are you buying an alchemy furnace? Have you read too many novels and want to try it?"
"No, it's just a hobby."
Chen Wangbei shook his head, too lazy to explain.
"Hobby? I've heard of people who like animals and cars, but I've never heard of people who like Dan furnace." The vendor was also stunned by Chen Wangbei's answer, but he didn't think much about it and fried stinky tofu quickly.
, while saying: "It's hard to find that kind of thing in this city now, but there is a place that says it may not be available."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Chen Wangbei's eyes lit up.
"That's Puji Temple Cultural Street not far from us. There are many antiques there. Maybe there is something you want?"
The vendor poured a spoonful of soup on the fried stinky tofu, handed it to Chen Wangbei and said with a smile.
“Puji Temple Cultural Street?”
Chen Wangbei took the stinky tofu and said doubtfully.
"Yes, yes, go out from our snack street, turn left, and walk more than two thousand meters to get there. Take the No. 105 bus directly there."
The vendor replied while pointing his finger.
"Oh, thank you brother for your advice."
Chen Wangbei nodded and thanked him.
“You’re welcome and welcome to come again next time!”
The vendor waved his hand, and just then another young couple came to buy stinky tofu.
Chen Wangbei didn't bother him anymore, and while eating stinky tofu, he walked towards the Puji Temple Cultural Street that the vendor just mentioned.
With Chen Wangbei's foot strength, it only took him about seven or eight minutes to reach the Puji Temple Cultural Street that the vendor mentioned.
As for why this name was given, it is entirely because there is a temple at the end of this cultural street that everyone in Jinzhou City knows, and that is Puji Temple.
At this time, it was almost one or two o'clock in the afternoon. After Chen Wangbei wiped the sweat from his forehead, he walked towards the intersection.
The liveliness of the Cultural Street cannot be compared with that of the Snack Street. At a glance, the number of people is less than half of that of the Snack Street just now.
However, there are a lot of people in this cultural street, but most of them are old men, and there are very few young people.
After walking into this cultural street, Chen Wangbei discovered that this street did not exist as a storefront, but as a street stall for others to sell. Along the way, most of them were copper coins, swords, jade pendants, etc.
.
As an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, Chen Wangbei can tell at a glance whether those things are real or fake. However, there are a few real things that appear to be products of modern times, but they still cannot catch his eye.
As he walked around and looked around, when he was nearing the end, Chen Wangbei still didn't find the existence of the alchemy furnace. He was wondering, had no one in this new ball made alchemy since ancient times?
After searching for more than half an hour, Chen Wangbei really didn't see a single alchemy furnace. Just when he was about to give up, an object suddenly made his eyes light up.
He quickly walked to a stall and stared at a wooden bathtub carefully.
"Yo? Little brother knows his stuff? Come and appreciate it."
The stall owner, who was originally bored, immediately became energetic when he saw someone coming.
"Little brother, this thing is a rare thing. Although it is a bathtub, I heard it was handed down from ancient times. We don't know the specific generation."
As the stall owner spoke, he stood up and explained to Chen Wangbei.
Chen Wangbei didn't say anything but kept looking into the basin, looking at him and wanting to reach in and touch it.
"Hey, little brother, newbie? There is a rule in our industry. If you don't buy it, you can't touch it."
But before Chen Wangbei's fingers touched, the stall owner grabbed his hand.
Chen Wangbei was stunned for a moment, but he understood that this rule was also the same in the world of cultivation. Then he took back his palm and asked: "Boss, how much do you want this?"
"How much?"
When the stall owner saw Chen Wangbei asking this question, he immediately knew that this guy didn't understand the rules.
So he smiled and said: "It's not expensive. Brother, I'll give you 50,000 yuan. Take it!"
For newcomers, this stall owner is very open-minded. Even if others later find out that they have bought a fake, they can only blame themselves for being jealous, not others.
"fifty thousand?"
Chen Wangbei was stunned. He only had more than 6,000 yuan in his entire body. How could he have so much money to buy this basin?
Just when he was struggling with what to do, a pleasant voice suddenly came from behind: "Boss, how can I sell this pot?"
When the stall owner saw that there was a new customer, he quickly smiled and said: "Hey, I'm sorry, this little brother took a fancy to this item first. I asked him to take it for 50,000 yuan. How about you bid? The price is too high.
Whoever wins?"
For this kind of situation, the boss loves nothing more. No matter who gets the thing in the end, it will be earned anyway.
"Only fifty thousand?" The pleasant voice smiled disdainfully, and then said: "Sixty thousand, I want it."
"Hey, girl, this is not my decision now. You have to ask this little brother."
The stall owner smiled and pointed at Chen Wangbei.
Chen Wangbei also realized from his entanglement at this moment, he had made up his mind, he would get this wooden basin no matter what.
So he looked back at the woman behind him and said directly: "I want this pot, no bidding!"
But when he saw the woman clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The woman was also surprised when she saw Chen Wangbei clearly.
"It's you?"
The two said in unison.
Yes, this woman is exactly the woman Chen Wangbei met in the park last night who was molested by the gangster, Xiao Yutong!
"You...you are the one who saved me last night?"
After Xiao Yutong reacted, he said excitedly.
"Well, what a coincidence."
Chen Wangbei nodded.
When Xiao Yutong heard Chen Wangbei's affirmative answer, he became happy again: "Why are you here? Do you want to buy this pot?"
"Well, come here and buy what you want, but I can't let you use this pot. I have a lot of use for it."
Chen Wangbei shook his head at Xiao Yutong as he spoke.
Xiao Yutong didn't expect Chen Wangbei to care so much about this basin. Looking at the dark wooden basin, she hesitated and said, "Hey, you really can't let me have this basin?"
"cannot!"
Chen Wangbei shook his head decisively.
"This... then I will give you money, I will give you thirty thousand, and you will give me this pot?"
Xiao Yutong said.
As soon as these words came out, how could the stall owner be willing? Wouldn't this be ruining his own financial path? So he hurriedly said: "Brother, girl, this is not the way to call the price!"
"Shut up!"
Unexpectedly, the two of them spoke together again.
The stall owner shut up instantly, Xiao Yutong also smiled awkwardly at Chen Wangbei with a blushing face, and then said: "You don't know something, I bought this thing for my grandfather. He has few interests in his life, he just likes to collect some.
It’s an old thing. This basin was also something he just picked out from the car and asked me to come down and buy it.”
