Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

This is also why the eight major cuisines of the Central Plains have developed.

The Central Plains are vast, with diverse climates, produce, and customs, naturally resulting in their own unique dishes.

Zhong Ling asked in surprise, "You don't like the food?"

Mu Wanqing: "Some dishes are sweet."

"Sweet?" Zhong Ling's eyes lit up. "I love candy the most."

During the Song Dynasty, sugarcane production developed well and increased significantly. However, it was not something that ordinary families could afford. Only slightly wealthier families would buy some during festivals, making it a staple for the New Year.

Zhong Ling's family was very well-off; they lacked nothing.

However, due to the limited productivity in ancient times, sugar was always in short supply and demand could not meet the needs, so even a family like hers could not afford to flaunt sugar.

Hearing what Mu Wanqing said, I immediately felt a sense of anticipation.

"The Central Plains are indeed prosperous. Does that mean I can eat as much sugar as I want?"

Zhong Ling imagined that delicious dishes made of candy had already appeared before her eyes.

Mu Wanqing's lips twitched slightly, eagerly anticipating Zhong Ling's reaction to the sweet dishes.

She can eat candy, even if it's just a simple treat.

When it's made into a dish, it's a different story.

moment.

Mu Wanqing found an open space, landed, and then led the horse forward.

Zhong Ling followed behind curiously, looking around.

It was her first time going out, and she was curious about everything.

Moreover, this is the Jiangnan region.

The accent, clothing, and local products were all different from those in Dali, which broadened her horizons.

"Sister Mu, what is that?"

"Those are silverfish!"

Along the way, Zhong Ling transformed into a walking encyclopedia of questions, constantly shouting and yelling.

Mu Wanqing patiently and carefully answered her questions.

In the past, Mu Wanqing would not have been so good-tempered.

However, now that she has broken free from her cage and family, she is happy and naturally willing to talk to Zhong Ling more.

lunch time.

The two went to a restaurant and ordered a large table of dishes.

Mu Wanqing and Qin Hongmian had come to Jiangnan to assassinate Madam Wang many times, and were very familiar with the taste of Jiangnan cuisine.

Therefore, she only ordered dishes that suited her taste.

Zhong Ling, on the other hand, ordered some sweet dishes.

Zhong Ling was initially full of anticipation, but after the dishes were served and she took a bite, her whole face scrunched up.

"This dish...this dish is so strange!"

Mu Wanqing chuckled: "This is the local taste; you, a Dali native, are definitely not used to it. I told you long ago that if you wanted sweets, I would have just bought some, but you wouldn't listen!"

Zhong Ling said awkwardly, "Maybe I'll get used to it if I eat more?"

As he spoke, he picked up some food and started eating again.

Mu Wanqing didn't stop her and continued eating, until Zhong Ling slumped onto the table and sighed, "Sister Mu, I can't take it anymore!"

"Alright, don't force yourself." Mu Wanqing shook her head. "If you can't finish it, don't eat it."

"Ah."

Zhong Ling nodded, and then gave up. She tried the dishes that Mu Wanqing had ordered, and after a few bites, she finally came back to life.

"Jiangnan has a rich variety of produce. If it weren't for that kind of vegetable, it would be really delicious!"

Mu Wanqing chuckled: "It's just that you don't like it, but the locals love it. It's like if you take Dali cuisine to Jiangnan, they'd hardly like it either."

Zhong Ling nodded.

With Mu Wanqing's explanation, she also understood the vastness of the Central Plains and the differences in people's tastes. She could only exclaim in amazement that this trip to Jiangnan had broadened her horizons.

After finishing their meal, the two left the restaurant.

A flippant voice rang out: "Boss, I saw two beauties, I'll be right back!"

The next moment, a figure appeared like a phantom and reached out to grab Zhong Ling.

"puff!"

But before his hand could fall, there was a soft sound, and then the figure crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Zhong Ling looked over and saw that the person was holding a pair of iron claws, with a slender figure like a bamboo pole, and a pale face, as if he had been malnourished for a long time.

At this moment, there was a hole between the man's eyebrows, from which red and white liquid was flowing out, which was extremely disgusting.

"Sister Mu!"

Zhong Ling looked at Mu Wanqing and asked, "Who is this? Is she our enemy?"

Zhong Ling was weak in martial arts, so she naturally didn't hear what Yun Zhonghe said to Duan Yanqing.

Mu Wanqing naturally heard it clearly.

Moreover, she was a woman who had read the original work, and even if she hadn't heard this person speak, she knew his identity very well.

"This is Yun Zhonghe, one of the Four Evils, a lecherous scoundrel," Mu Wanqing sneered. "He has a grudge against every woman in the world!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the void several times, and immediately heard a series of "poof" sounds in the distance. The three people then fell to the ground, dead.

Zhong Ling looked surprised and confused.

Mu Wanqing said, "The Four Evils usually appear at the same time. Those people are the notorious Duan Yanqing, the wicked Ye Erniang, and the ferocious Yue Laosan."

Zhong Ling suddenly realized, "Oh, it's them."

She had naturally heard about the three men's actions.

After all, her adoptive father was a figure in the underworld, not a member of any reputable family.

Her family had naturally told her about these people from all walks of life.

Of the Four Evils, she naturally hated the vicious Yun Zhonghe and Ye Erniang the most.

One of them humiliated a woman, ruined her reputation, and even killed her after the humiliation; he was utterly despicable.

One is the abduction and subsequent killing of infants, which has resulted in extremely heavy bloodshed over the years.

Knowing that Sister Mu had killed these people, Zhong Ling finally felt relieved.

It wasn't that Zhong Ling suddenly developed a chivalrous heart, but rather that she was afraid of her former sister, Mu.

After all, who would prefer the sister who casually shoots poison arrows to this kind and understanding sister?

"Sister Mu, let's go!"

Zhong Ling stepped forward and pulled Mu Wanqing up. "By the way, Sister Mu, are you going to cultivate this black rose?"

“Of course.” Mu Wanqing nodded. “Black Rose has been with me for so many years, so naturally I have to nurture her with care.”

In fact, over this period of time, Black Rose has become quite intelligent after being tempered by her true energy.

The two left, but the area outside the restaurant erupted in chaos.

Those in the martial arts world were particularly astonished by Mu Wanqing's skill.

Taking a life from a distance of 100 meters is simply not in line with martial arts.

After all, the martial arts of this world also have their own logic; the distance between air energies is at most ten zhang.

Killing such masters as the Four Evils from a distance of 100 meters is a terrifying feat.

The beggars exchanged glances and quickly got up to leave.

As informants for the Beggars' Sect, they naturally had to relay this terrible news back to the sect.

the other side.

Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling arrived at the shore of Taihu Lake.

Zhong Ling asked, "Sister Mu, are the sisters we're looking for on Taihu Lake?"

Mu Wanqing nodded and looked into the distance, where she saw a girl in green sitting on a small boat, about to leave.

The thought crossed her mind, and Mu Wanqing immediately fell into it.

As for Zhong Ling and Black Rose, they were directly lifted up by her true energy and stepped onto the water's surface as if it were flat ground.
