Chapter 84 Farewell There were many kinds of food on the streets of Moon Bay. Jiang Yuan and Da Miao stood in front of a stall selling meat patties. The aroma wafted over. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva, touched the shells in her hand, and asked, "Uncle, how much is this meat pie?"These cakes are fried once in oil and then baked over charcoal fire. They look golden and crispy on both sides and smell amazing. Not only do they look delicious, but they are also easy to preserve. She wants to buy it! The vendor selling meat pies was a kind-looking monkey demon with only a beard. He glanced at Jiang Yuan, sized her up from head to toe, then waved his paw and said, "I don't sell these meat pies, but one shell can be exchanged for ten vegetable pies. Do you want to buy any?" As he spoke, he used his chopsticks to pick up the vegetable cakes that were neatly stacked on the side and looked like there was nothing special about them. Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "But I only want to eat meat pie, not vegetable pie." "Oh, I already said I don't sell them. If you don't want to buy vegetable cakes, go and play. Don't block my business!" As the monkey demon finished his impatient words, a chicken demon walked up to the stall and gave him three cowrie shells. After he took the cowrie shells, he filled a meat pie for him. After the chicken demon left, Jiang Yuan asked in confusion, "Uncle, why can he buy it, but you won't sell it to me?" "Ah this..." Seeing that Jiang Yuan would not give up until he got an answer, the monkey demon stall owner stroked his beard, sighed, and said truthfully: "This meat contains demonic power. You don't have demonic power, so you naturally can't eat it. If the demonic power accumulates in your body, you will explode and die." He has run this stall here for hundreds of years. You can say he is unscrupulous, but the ingredients he uses for each pie are of the exact weight. But if you say he is conscientious, the meat he uses is not from domesticated livestock, but demon meat bought from the black market.
Monster meat, as the name suggests, is the meat cut from monsters. When some monsters are out and about and encounter a situation where they do not have enough shells, they will go to the black market meat pawnshop and cut off their own meat to pawn it. If no demon comes to redeem their meat within a certain period of time, the meat pawnshop has the right to deal with the meat on its own, and the only way to deal with it is to sell it to butcher shops, meat stores, etc. at a not high price. Although the meat produced by the meat shop is more expensive than the meat of domestic livestock, it is of great benefit to the cultivation of the demon race. This is also the reason why even though his cakes are so expensive, there are still so many monsters willing to buy them. However, logically speaking, as a cake seller, he is only responsible for making the cakes and selling them, so he doesn't care about the identity of the person who comes to buy the cakes. He thought so before, but today was an exception. Last night, a secret order from the Palace Master appeared in front of all the demons, making them dare not act recklessly today. The secret order stated that if a customer with no magical powers came to buy things, she must not be sold anything that might endanger her safety, nor should she be charged a higher price or asked for an exorbitant price. If discovered, she would be immediately expelled from Moon Bay. Thinking of the content of the secret order, the monkey demon suddenly felt like he had no desire to live. When Jiang Yuan heard this, she looked as if she had suddenly understood something. It wasn't that she completely believed it, but she just couldn't gamble with her own life. Thinking of this, she glanced at the meat patties with a look of pity on her face. Then she looked at the monkey demon with a little more gratitude in her eyes and said, "Luckily, the uncle reminded me. Otherwise, I would have foolishly bought five and ended up hurting myself. It's not worth it." "Five... five?" The monkey demon almost choked up. That's fifteen full shells! "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the monkey demon looked like he was about to die, Jiang Yuan frowned slightly and asked with hidden concern. The monkey demon waved his paw and said, "Nothing..." After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yuan again, his pair of black and white eyes rolled around, as if he suddenly thought of something. He picked up a small piece of vegetable cake with chopsticks, put it in a bowl, and handed it to Jiang Yuan, asking: "How many of these vegetable cakes would you like? You can try them first, and buy them if they are delicious." Except for a few naturally vegetarian monsters, it was difficult to sell these vegetable cakes. He neither sold meat cakes nor raised the price, but only sold vegetable cakes to her. This was not a violation of the secret order, right? Jiang Yuan took the bowl and chopsticks, said thank you, then picked up the small piece of vegetable cake, and couldn't help but put his head closer to look at it carefully. The sweet and refreshing beef cabbage is coated with thick egg liquid, mixed with wheat flour, and then added with some sea salt, spices, and chopped green onions. She couldn't help but put her nose close to it and smelled it. It was indeed very fragrant! She put the vegetable cake into her mouth and chewed it for a few times, feeling its sweet yet non-greasy taste and its crispy yet soft texture.
good to eat! "Uncle, give me fifty of these cakes!" After Jiang Yuan put down his bowl and chopsticks, he immediately stretched out five fingers towards the monkey demon and said. "Okay, please wait a moment!" The monkey demon narrowed his eyes in a smile and quickly began to prepare. He fried and baked the pancakes very quickly, obviously due to practice. Jiang Yuan only sat on the stool for half an incense stick of time before the monkey demon came towards her carrying a basket. "Miss, do you need another count of the fifty vegetable cakes you requested?" Jiang Yuan took it and said, "No need, I trust you, uncle." Hearing this, the monkey demon was deeply moved, and felt a little guilty. He thought about it, and finally secretly stuffed the two hidden vegetable cakes back into the basket. Not only that, he also gave a few extra ones. Jiang Yuan saw clearly the actions of the monkey demon, but did not stop it, nor did he expose it. He and Big Cat just smiled at each other, and everything was said without words. After finishing the cake issue, they still had to rush to the next place, so they didn't delay any longer. After handing the five shells to the monkey demon, Jiang Yuan found a corner where no demon would notice and put all the biscuits into Big Cat's bag. Then he continued strolling on the street with Big Cat. Although there are many delicious foods on the street, very few of them can be preserved for a long time. Jiang Yuan had no choice but to buy some fruits and some vegetables that can be stored for a long time, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes. She was panting and dragging a bag made of snake skin towards a corner of the street, with Big Cat providing cover for her. But just when she was halfway there, a familiar voice sounded in front of her: "Yuan, is that you?" Jiang Yuan was so tired that sweat was pouring down her face, and her hair was a little messy: if she hadn't been worried that Big Cat's saliva would wet the food in the bag, she wouldn't have been so tired! When Jiang Yuan heard the familiar voice, she was still a little slow to react. After she reacted, she quickly raised her head and saw Fei Lian standing not far in front of her, and also... And her pig demon partner! Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, holding the bag with one hand, raised the other hand, waved at Fei Lian, and called out obediently, "Sister Fei Lian." The pig demon beside her glanced at Jiang Yuan, as if knowing that they had something to say, so he turned to Fei Lian and said, "You guys chat slowly, I'll wait for you over there." "it is good." Fei Lian nodded in agreement, and after watching him walk away, he walked up to Jiang Yuan and asked, "I heard that you are leaving soon?" It will be on the shelves on the 18th, I hope you will support it!
