Lord of Puluo

Chapter 98 Lanyang Village with its simple folk customs

Green Water Bay has the largest city in Prozhou.

But Lanyang Village doesn't look like a city.

Lanyang Village is indeed not a city. The real city is in Green Water City, and Lanyang Village is considered a suburb at most.

Li Banfeng stood on the roadside and looked over. He felt that this place did not look like a normal village. The houses were obviously denser than the village, and there was not much farmland in sight.

If you say it is a town, Lanyang Village is not very similar to Yaowanggouligou.

The houses are worse than Ligou, dirtier than Ligou, and more informal than Ligou. Many houses are made of bricks and stones and are relatively strong. Many houses are pure wooden houses without even foundations, and there are also many thatched sheds. …

Li Banfeng was observing the strange features of Lanyang Village when he suddenly heard a roar in his ears.

Huchi~ bang! Huchi~ bang!

what's the situation!

Li Banfeng trembled, thinking that the train was coming.

Looking back, I saw that something was indeed driving over, and it was also a big guy.

This thing is not a train because there are no tracks.

Its appearance is very similar to that of a train, with a cylindrical black front end, eight or nine meters long, more than three meters high, and a diameter of more than two meters.

But underneath it are not the wheels of the train, but two huge rollers.

Li Banfeng knew these two rollers. They were a road roller.

It was just this style that Li Banfeng saw for the first time. It was a steam-driven roller.

The worker stood on the road roller and was adding coal to the boiler.

The boiler has just been heated up, but the pressure is not enough. The valve is wheezing and steaming, and the connecting rod cannot be moved up.

Is there actually a road roller near Lanyang Village?

This made Li Banfeng feel very novel.

Li Banfeng wanted to get closer and take a look. A young man in his early twenties, wearing overalls, carrying a cane, and a mustache on his upper lip, came to Li Banfeng.

Judging from the mustache and the way he is dressed, he must be a decent man.

Are you from a foreign country? Mustache took the initiative to say hello.

Li Banfeng nodded.

Is it your first time coming to Lanyang Village?

Li Banfeng did not deny it.

Mustache smiled enthusiastically: Are you rich?

Are all the people in Lanyang Village so kind?

Asking such a sincere question right out of the gate?

Is this the Lanyang Village way of saying hello?

Li Banfeng nodded: Yes.

How many? Mustache took out a dagger from his pocket and pressed it against Li Banfeng's stomach.

Are people here so straightforward?

This is the street, with pedestrians in front and a road roller behind.

He just put the knife on my stomach so naturally?

No one cares?

There was an elder sister in front. When she saw Li Banfeng being robbed in the street, she immediately picked up the child and returned to the house.

This eldest sister is obviously a soft-hearted person and cannot bear to see me, a foreigner, being bullied.

There was an older brother holding his shoulders next to him and looking at Li Banfeng with a smile.

This big brother is obviously a friendly person. He inspires me with his smile and gives me courage and confidence.

Several workers on the roller glanced in Li Banfeng's direction, and then continued busy with their work, as if nothing happened.

These workers are all people who love labor, love life, and focus on their careers.

Mustache pressed the knife tightly against Li Banfeng's stomach and shouted sternly: I asked you how much money you have!

This mustache is a very dedicated person.

Li Banfeng said: I have a lot of money, but I may not be able to give it to you.

Mustache grinned: You don't want to give? Have you lived enough?

Li Banfeng also smiled: It's not that I can't give it. Let me ask you first, do you have any cultivation level?

I have no cultivation, why won't you give me money? Mustache glared, and was about to stab Li Banfeng in the stomach with a knife.

Li Banfeng took a step back, dodged the knife, raised his foot, hit the mustache in the crotch, and reprimanded: You don't have any cultivation skills to rob?

Mustache felt something cracked, and his face turned pale in pain. He pointed the knife at Li Banfeng and said, Don't come over here, I have cultivation!

You have cultivation, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you lie to me? Li Banfeng kicked me again, still in the crotch.

Mustache felt something was broken, and looked at Li Banfeng tremblingly, I have a very high level of cultivation, and I don't want to take action against you.

How high is it? Let's make it clear first! Li Banfeng kicked him again, still in the crotch.

Mustache felt that the thing was broken, and said in a trembling voice: I will have layers immediately.

It turns out that I haven’t reached the next level yet.

Where's the Dao Sect? Li Banfeng kicked him again.

Mustache didn’t feel too much pain this time.

He felt like it was gone.

I am Geng Xiu...

If you don't cultivate the land well, you still come out to rob! Li Banfeng kicked him again. Mustache rolled his eyes and knelt on the ground.

Li Banfeng took off Mustache's dagger and looked at the older brother who was watching the fun next to him with a smile.

Brother, do you have money? Li Banfeng greeted warmly.

The eldest brother didn't dare to reply and ran away.

Why are you running? Isn’t this how everyone in Lanyang Village greets people?

Li Banfeng carried his mustache and walked into a deep alley. It was true that no one was around, so he sent his mustache to his home.

Madam, it's time to eat!

new

Mustache wailed and wanted to run away.

Li Banfeng picked up his cane, broke Mustache's leg, and handed him to the record player.

Steam filled the air, and the record player had eaten up its soul, rubbing its long needle on the record.

Is this brushing your teeth?

Li Banfeng asked: Madam, how is today's dish?

Chichi~

The lady praised: It's sweet and refreshing, with endless aftertaste, but it's just not enough to eat~

Not having enough food is inevitable, and Li Banfeng is used to it.

While Tong Lianhua was cleaning up the body, Li Banfeng took a look at Mustache's relics.

Although he started a business of robberies, this man was actually quite wealthy.

There were more than 800 cash in the wallet and six foreign dollars.

These six oceans are more than three thousand yuan. With so much money, there is no need to go out to rob. He can find a job or even start a small business.

Mustache's dagger was not very good, so Li Banfeng threw it away as garbage.

But his cane was pretty good. Li Banfeng waved the cane and remembered something.

Every time he picked up the feather duster, he always felt like a civilized gentleman.

Now that I think about it, maybe it’s not a feather duster that I should be reaching for, but this cane.

That’s right, it’s a cane!

Li Banfeng thought of the guests at the Xianle Dance Hall. They all carried walking sticks.

In Puluo state, everyone with status has a cane.

A cane and a suit and hat are the complete gentleman's equipment.

After the corpse was disposed of cleanly and a red pill was popped, Li Banfeng took his walking stick, picked up the garbage, and left his home.

He had to find a place to eat and take a look at the situation in Lanyang Village.

There were many restaurants among the crowded houses. Li Banfeng found a noodle shop and ordered a bowl when he saw that mutton noodles cost five yuan, a fair price.

After finishing the noodles, I paid the bill. The shopkeeper asked for 330 yuan.

Li Banfeng was stunned: Isn't it five yuan?

The noodle shop owner's answer: One noodle costs five yuan. We cooked sixty-six of them for you. Taking the six-six as a rule, the total is three hundred and thirty yuan.

Li Banfeng looked at the shopkeeper and asked, Do you sell noodles by the stick?

The shopkeeper nodded: It's always been sold like this!

Li Banfeng stared and said, Always sell by the root?

In the restaurant, other diners looked at Li Banfeng, nodded towards him, and said in unison: This restaurant has been selling noodles by the root. It has been an old sign for decades and has never changed.

Li Banfeng looked around and said to the shopkeeper: You have a whole room full of childcare workers, and I'm the only one eating?

The shopkeeper frowned and said, What do you mean by shilling? Those who come to eat are all regular customers, and what they say is fair!

Everyone shouted in unison: What we say is fair!

Li Banfeng stood up and said, Selling noodles by the root is fair?

The shopkeeper nodded: Just sell them by the root. This is fair!

Then you have to calculate the price carefully! Li Banfeng swung his cane.

Do the math, do the math! The shopkeeper picked up the rolling pin.

Let's do it together! The other diners picked up their dicks and swarmed up, surrounding Li Banfeng.

After ten minutes of fighting, there was blood all over the noodle shop.

Several tables were broken, and cups and dishes were strewn all over the floor.

There was blood on the head of the shopkeeper, and several other eaters were also injured.

Li Banfeng broke his cane and finally negotiated the price with the shopkeeper.

A noodle costs 20 yuan, which means Liuliu Dashun. A total of 66 noodles were cooked, and this bowl of noodles cost 1,320 yuan.

Other diners nodded: The price is fair, this is the rule of Lanyang Village, let's leave it at that!

Li Banfeng also agreed: That's it!

The shopkeeper counted out one thousand three hundred and twenty yuan and handed it to Li Banfeng: Count it!

Li Banfeng counted it twice, put it in his wallet, raised his hat, and made a gentlemanly salute: I'll come to your place for noodles next time.

Xia Chi, we charge by the bowl! The shopkeeper's front teeth were missing and his words were a bit leaky.

Li Banfeng walked outside the noodle shop and threw half of the cane into the garbage.

He looked around and couldn't help but sigh: Lanyang Village is a nice place, and the people are quite simple.

The folk customs in this place are so simple. Should we hire a guide to learn more about the situation?

While I was sighing, I suddenly saw a well-dressed man picking up something to eat in the garbage.

He was indeed well-dressed. The materials and workmanship of his shirt, trousers and the leather shoes on his feet were very exquisite.

As long as you pawn these clothes, you should be able to exchange them for a few meals. Why bother looking for food in the garbage?

He looked for it very seriously. He was really hungry. He picked up half an apricot and stuffed it into his mouth immediately. When he saw a few rice grains, he carefully picked them up with his fingers and put them into his mouth.

As long as it is edible, he will not let it go.

Li Banfeng stared at the man for a moment and found that he looked familiar.

Ma Wu? Li Banfeng shouted.

The man had just picked up half a steamed bun when he heard someone shouting Ma Wu. He stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth and ran away.
