I saw this old man walking over with an unsightly expression, looking Xiao Cheng up and down, and then asked in a somewhat unkind tone.
"Are you the store manager who sells the mysterious items that students say can improve Dou Qi?"
He could hear the unkindness in the old man's tone, but he was not afraid at all. He had Hu Gan behind him. Even if the old man wanted to cause trouble, he would have to ask the dean if he would agree.
Then he smiled at the old man and said.
"It's our store manager. My name is Xiao Cheng. I wonder who the old gentleman is??"
Although the old man's tone across the street was unkind, he still had to be polite.
When the old man saw this boy, his attitude was quite good, and his tone softened a lot, and he said calmly.
"I am Old Man Huo of this Alchemy Department, you can just call me Old Huo"
"It turns out to be Old Huo. I've seen Old Huo before."
He said quickly and politely.
"You don't have to be so polite. I just came to confirm if there is indeed a mysterious item that can improve Dou Qi."
Hearing what Old Huo said, he was quite speechless and thought to himself.
"Don't you just want to know if the pastries I sell really have this effect?"
But on the surface, he still smiled and explained to Old Huo the pastries he had here.
After a long time, Old Huo's face was not as gloomy as before, and he seemed to be staring at the pastries on his stall with doubts and thinking about something.
After a while, he asked Xiao Cheng.
"Boy, is your so-called pastry really as magical as you say?"
He still didn't believe it.
Xiao Cheng rolled her eyes at him and thought to herself.
"Well, all the time I spent on it was in vain."
He simply took out a piece of Peanut Nougat, opened the package, handed it to Old Huo and said.
"After you eat it, tell me how you feel after a while."
Old Man Huo took the piece Peanut Nougat suspiciously and threw it directly into his mouth.
When I chewed it at first, it tasted good, and I couldn't help but nod slightly to express my satisfaction.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt that the Heaven and Earth Qi around him was gathering into his body, and gradually he felt that his Dou Qi seemed to have improved a bit.
There was a look of shock on his face.
"This... there is such a magical thing. I am ignorant and ignorant. I am ignorant."
Then he smiled bitterly and said to Xiao Cheng.
"My little friend, I didn't understand etiquette earlier, please don't take it offence."
Old Man Huo bowed down and apologized to Xiao Cheng, his attitude was extremely sincere, and his title changed from kid to little friend.
From the change in the title, it can be seen that the old man is really convinced.
It's just that at this time, Xiao Cheng is a little bit confused about whether to laugh or cry. It's okay not to accept it. Just accept it. It won't go well with your conscience.
In the end, he stepped aside and did not intend to accept Old Man Huo's apology. This was unacceptable.
"Old Huo, you have disgraced me, how can I blame you?"
he said quickly.
Old Man Huo said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
"I wonder if I can use your pastry research, I'm very curious about it."
It seems that Xiao Cheng's pastries have conquered this bad-tempered alchemy master.
Hearing what he said, Xiao Cheng seemed a little hesitant.
Seeing that Xiao Cheng seemed a little embarrassed, he said quickly.
"I will pay the regular price and I won't get it for free."
Seeing what he said, Xiao Cheng also nodded in agreement.
It's just a study of pastries, no big deal.
However, this pastry has been modified by the system. Even the old man can't research anything. In the end, he can't research anything just like that guy Gu He.
Seeing that Xiao Cheng agreed, Old Man Huo was overjoyed. With a wave of his hand, he spent more than three thousand Gold Coins directly from him and bought a lot of pastries. He happily kept them and went back to retreat to study pastries.
Before leaving, Xiao Cheng could still see that the old man was grinning so much that he was grinning from ear to ear, and his beard was trembling with laughter, which also made him quite speechless.
Xiao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief after sending this troublesome old man away.
"Oh, I finally tricked this old man away."
He had just sat down when he heard a burst of noise in the distance. He turned around and smiled immediately.
It turned out that Qin Zhen was coming towards him with several students, but the leader was another young man, whose cultivation level was actually that of Da Dou Shi.
Sure enough, the talents in the Jia Nan Academy are much better.
From a distance, this guy Qin Zhen shouted at him.
"Store manager, I have brought people to visit your stall."
Xiao Cheng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, thinking.
"Brother, you are really stubborn."
However, he was still very polite to the people who helped him attract customers. When these people came to the stall, he said with a smile.
"Qin Zhen, who are these?"
"They are all my friends. In addition, I would like to solemnly introduce to you the person next to me. His name is Bai Shan, but he is a genius. His cultivation level is already Da Dou Shi, which is not much worse than Hu Jia."
In response, Xiao Cheng just nodded towards Bai Shan, which was regarded as saying hello.
It's just that Bai Shan's tone didn't seem very good, so he asked flatly.
"I heard that you have something here that can improve Dou Qi. Is that true?"
There was a hint of arrogance in his tone, and a hint of doubt.
He naturally heard the arrogance and doubtful attitude in this boy's tone, so naturally he didn't care, he explained with a smile.
"The effect of improving Dou Qi is naturally real. You can buy one first and try it. If it doesn't work, just smash my stall."
Hearing what Xiao Cheng said, Bai Shan frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He nodded and looked at the price board Xiao Cheng had just written.
When Old Man Huo left just now, he remembered that he hadn't written the price list yet, so he found a temporary wooden board and made do with it.
When everyone saw the price of this pastry, they couldn't help but gasp.
Although they had some money, they didn't expect it to be so expensive, so they couldn't help but talk about it.
"The cheapest one costs one hundred Gold Coins per pound, the most expensive one costs more than nine hundred Gold Coins, and there is one that costs one thousand Gold Coins."
"This thousand Gold Coins Cream Cake still need to be ordered in advance"
"Oh my God, it's so expensive."
At this time, Bai Shan also frowned. He did not expect that the things here would be so expensive. He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Cheng, and found that this guy was smiling at him, so he gritted his teeth and bought a pound of Honeyed Shortbread and a pack of Peanut Nougat, thinking to himself.
"If it doesn't work, he will destroy this person's stall."
So I only saw Bai Shan eating a few pieces of Honeyed Shortbread. I thought it tasted pretty good, but it had its merits, and it suited his taste.
But the next moment, he felt that his physical body seemed to be stronger and more defensive.
This change surprised him, and he immediately tried to eat a piece of nougat.
After a while, he was completely shocked that his cultivation had actually increased.
These pastries actually have the effect of improving Dou Qi, and not only the effect of improving Dou Qi, but some can also improve the physical strength.
Then Bai Shan glanced at the rest of the pastries, his eyes twinkling.
"Manager, it was my fault earlier. I doubted your pastries. I Bai Shan apologize here."
He said and bowed to Xiao Cheng to apologize.
Xiao Cheng smiled and waved his hand casually.
"It's okay, I don't care, just give me more publicity."
Hearing what he said, Bai Shan smiled and nodded.
Immediately, everyone began to buy pastries in full swing. Basically, everyone would spend three to four hundred Gold Coins. The most was Bai Shan who directly bought nearly a thousand Gold Coins pastries.
Looking at this posture, he probably needs to go into seclusion and practice hard.
At this time, Xiao Cheng was also feeling happy. Seeing the progress of the task column on Personal Panel rising rapidly, he sighed.
"Qin Zhen, you are really my lucky star. I hope you can promote it well for me, hehe."
