Chapter 276 Special Rice

Jiang Huang only left an explanatory letter to Cheng Jinzhou and left De'an with Xi Wuyong and Zhang Tao.

Cheng Jinzhou could understand his urgency, but the arrival of a new fourth-level star warlock inevitably made him nervous.

Star Warlocks are not easy to serve. Just look at Liu Kuang, An Feng, and especially Bishop Kant, and you will understand what they have in common. Fortunately, he is not a pervert like Yang Zhanquan, otherwise he would have to find a way to pay tribute to women every month.

Without knowing Li Xianfeng's character, Cheng Jinzhou did not hesitate to invite his second uncle Cheng Yunxiang to welcome her. He has been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for so many years and has seen many people being welcomed and sent off, so it is always easier to give orders.

Of course, the most important thing is that Cheng Jinzhou is too lazy to prepare.

Jinzhou Qianshi is equivalent to the status of a high-ranking official. His status in Jinzhou Province is not high, but for a local county magistrate, he is almost a god-like existence. But Cheng Jinzhou called him, and Cheng Yunxiang came happily.

As a result, Master Li, the Minister of Rites, was once again left aside, and the gentlemen, including the county magistrate, returned to the vigorous ceremony to welcome the fourth-level star warlock.

Lord Shangshu has nothing to complain about. He is just a senior civil servant. If a two-star warlock comes, that's it. If a three-star warlock comes, he has to greet him in a polite manner. His subordinates have long been accustomed to the differential treatment they received in De'an.

Li Xianfeng arrived faster than Cheng Jinzhou expected.

On the third day after Jiang Huang left, Li Xianfeng appeared in De'an City.

Black robe, black face scarf, black silk hat. Wrapped up like a god of death who had lost his scythe, Warlock Li Xianfengxing seemed to be trying to enter the city in a low-key manner, but unexpectedly the bustling De'an Market attracted him. But as soon as she lowered her height, her outfit showed its flaws.

After receiving the news, Cheng Yunxiang quickly mobilized his troops. More than a hundred quick troops rode horses, pretending to be cavalry, and rumbled to the market. Behind him were the panting bearers. The welcoming ceremony was chaotic but not complicated, which made people look funny.

Cheng Jinzhou rode Lu Xu and soon appeared in front of Li Xianfeng. Although he was introduced by Warlock Jiang Huangxing, he was still a little worried. Astromancers are definitely people with character. Hundreds of years old monsters are still alive. They are not perverted just because you didn't notice them.

The government officials did not dare to drive away ordinary civilians, so Li Xianfeng mixed with a group of people and walked around. She has lived in a corner for many years and has rarely seen so many people again.

Cheng Jinzhou's arrival scared away many vendors, but without strong control, everyone gathered around to watch the fun.

Classmate Xiao Cheng chased after Li Xianfeng with a star array and said with a smile: "Li Xianfeng, star warlock, welcome. Please bear with me for the simplicity of this place."

He had never met a high-level female star warlock, and it was hard to stare at Li Xianfeng's veil without knowing where to put his eyes.

Li Xianfeng was an upright person, and she felt a little unhappy when she saw Cheng Jinzhou's look. She raised her chin slightly and said, "No need to be polite, I'm here to protect you from being killed, but if you do anything that is harmful to nature, I will do it myself." Hands-on."

Cheng Yunxiang, who was in charge of the reception, stared at him and quickly said with a smile: "Master Star Warlock, we have prepared a house on the Star Warlock Tower outside the city, and there is also a courtyard inside the city for rest. Both places have been prepared, and the blessings in the city are Lou also prepared wine and food, it’s been a hard journey, you see——”

"I'm a vegetarian and I brought my own rice balls." Li Xianfeng said, stood up and flew into the air and said, "Cheng Jinzhou, follow me."

Cheng Jinzhou had no choice but to wink at the others and fly up.

Liu Qingshuang watched them nervously as they flew towards the river bank, and whispered: "Go and let the chef prepare vegetarian food."

Xiao Cheng comes from modern times and loves nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun. After getting rich, the chefs alone recruited nearly a hundred people, including chefs who specialized in vegetarian food.

Heaven. Li Xianfeng took the lead and was extremely fast. He didn't stop until he reached the top of the pier and waited for Cheng Jinzhou.

She seemed to know the joint star formation of Cheng and Lu. She only looked at the blue flash behind them and asked, "I heard that you have cotton fruit?"

"It has been given to Warlock Jiang Huangxing." What Cheng Jinzhou was most worried about was the crime of carrying the jade.

Li Xianfeng glanced at him suspiciously and asked directly: "What is your relationship with Shengya?"

Cheng Jinzhou was stunned for a moment and did not dare to immediately ask questions such as "What is the Holy Cliff?"

"Whatever it is, answer quickly." Although he has lived in his hometown for 50 years, Li Xianfeng's fiery personality has not changed at all. Compared with the twists and turns of other star warlocks, he is more like a man.

"I don't have cotton fruit on hand right now." Cheng Jinzhou's tone became stronger, then softened and said, "If you have any questions, we have plenty of time next, so why not go eat first."

There was no need for him to fight hard against a fourth-level star warlock, and the polite smile on his face was a bit neither humble nor overbearing.

Li Xianfeng didn't ask any further, and flew slowly while taking out a bright white rice ball from his pocket. He lifted the veil with his left hand and started eating by himself. Cheng Jinzhou was dumbfounded.

The star warlock ate one rice ball and took out another rice ball while enjoying the biting river breeze, as if he really wanted to finish his lunch by himself.

"Warlock Li Xianfengxing, down below is the Fushou Tower. If you don't like the food inside, how about eating rice balls?"

"Do you think I'm eating an ordinary rice ball?" Li Xianfeng glanced at him and said, "The rice used in this rice ball is special food that can enhance physical fitness. In the Star Warlock Association, only fourth-level Star Warlocks can change it. have to."

Cheng Jinzhou immediately thought of "real rice" and couldn't help but ask: "It can increase your physical fitness. How much can you eat to withstand one more star point?"

Li Xianfeng did not hide anything and said: "For the third level, I ate 200 kilograms a year, so I can bear 40 more star points. When you are promoted to a three-star warlock and pass the Xingzhou committee assessment, you can exchange your contribution points for ”

Cheng Jinzhou calculated that after eating real rice for half a year, he could withstand about 150 star points more, which seemed to be much more effective than Li Xianfeng's rice balls. Thinking that he was about to harvest a pile of real rice, he simply said: "I also have some special food there, why don't you try it, Lord Star Warlock?"

"oh?"

"It can also increase the Star Warlock's star power. The quantity is not too large." Cheng Jinzhou added the last sentence specially.

"Okay, I'd like to give it a try." Li Xianfeng refused without hesitation. She is a fourth-level star warlock. Even if she is invited by Warlock Jiang Huangxing to work as a bodyguard for Cheng Jinzhou, she should earn a few contribution points every day. Cheng Jinzhou got some special things to give to him, which was considered appropriate.

Real rice is always ready, and Cheng Jinzhou only gave some to his father and Liu Qingshuang in the past. But the preparation of real rice is no different from ordinary grain. After giving the order, it was served quickly.

The table is full of vegetarian food, mainly made from fungi, konjac and soy products, and decorated with seasonal vegetables, which are colorful, beautiful and delicious.

The young mistress personally ordered the vegetarian dishes to be cooked, and due to the tight schedule, there was no cost involved. As many as 50 kinds of spices were used for seasoning. The cost of preparing such a table of dishes is much more expensive than meat dishes.

Despite this, Li Xianfeng took two bites of the green cabbage and then just kept eating the rice.

During this period, she took a careful look at Cheng Jinzhou, and she couldn't help but feel strange when she saw that he was just eating with him in small bites, without showing any signs of distress. But the speed of cooking rice has not slowed down at all.

After finishing two large bowls of rice, at least a kilogram of rice, Li Xianfeng wiped his mouth happily and said: "Yes, the ingredients for rice balls seem to be better than mine. You brought them back from Shengya? This meal, It’s really costing you money.”

It was only then that she had some praise for Cheng Jinzhou. Regardless of his character, he was not a stingy person. Her own star array is biased towards the sense of smell, so other star warlocks cannot judge how many beneficial components are in the food, but Li Xianfeng can.

Based on her experience, the food Cheng Jinzhou brought out was obviously much better than the bulk goods sold by the Star Warlock Association. She has never eaten food with such a high content of ingredients. Seeing that the star point would increase again, the expression on Li Xianfeng's face softened a lot.

Coming to De'an, at least it's not a complete loss.

Of course Cheng Jinzhou will not be stingy. He has eaten too much real rice, and now the increase in star points is very limited. Coupled with the harvest of so much real rice, treating Li Xianfeng to a meal is like a real treat. Seems simple.

Seeing that he mentioned the church, he could still say: "As long as you enjoy the meal."

Li Xianfeng was really happy and no longer cared about the relationship between Cheng Jinzhou and the Holy Church. She stretched out her waist and said: "I want a quieter place to live. There must always be hot water in it and no more than two kinds of flowers should be planted around it. I'm going to sleep now."

Cheng Jinzhou looked at the bright sun outside and said cooperatively, "It's really getting late. I'll take you to a place to rest."

After Li Xianfeng had arranged everything, Xiao Cheng called out the front customer service and asked, "How come cotton fruit and real rice have been seen by star warlocks in Daxia? Where is the Holy Cliff?"

Yisu said with an innocent face: "How could I know? Could it be that the current customer service has sold your place?"

"They said the Holy Cliff is obviously quite old."

"That's my predecessor's business. It has nothing to do with me anyway." Yisu behaved like a civil servant in shirking responsibility.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't want to pursue the responsibility, so he scratched his head and said, "Then what if I get the things out again, what if I'm discovered again? And that holy cliff, don't come looking for me."

Now I think about it with my knees, and I know that the Holy Cliff is an important place, but I have no idea how important it is and what its physical form is.

He couldn't understand. Lu Xu said impatiently: "If you don't plan to beat someone today, I'll go play polo."

"Be careful not to break someone else's horse."

Cheng Jinzhou had to warn him. Others played polo by riding horses to compete in speed and skill. Lu Xu was different. He ran around the field shirtless and carrying a polo pole. Although it is very disciplined and does not use star formations, its speed and acceleration are not slower than those of a horse. If it collides with an opponent, it is often the horse that rolls on the ground.
