Chapter 90: Entrance turmoil

The ninth day of the ninth month, Double Ninth Festival.

The world-renowned Golden Sword and the Battle of Mad Swords have finally arrived.

This is the two top two masters in the world in the past 20 years.

Before dawn, the shore of Taihu Lake began to be crowded with people, and countless people from the world arrived in order to seize a good seat.

Originally, in this competition, the government strictly prohibited idle people from approaching Taihu Lake. Two days ago, the new imperial envoy was abnormal and ordered Suzhou Prefecture to build a viewing platform that could accommodate 3,000 people overnight. According to the location, tickets were sold at a distance of 20 to 200 taels. All observers, etc., entered the venue with tickets and evaded tickets. Those who did not watch the battle in the designated area were arrested and severely dealt with once they were arrested. For this reason, the imperial envoy dispatched 2,000 officers and soldiers to maintain order on the scene.

Even so, in less than a day, three thousand tickets were sold out.

Twenty taels of silver can be made again if you lose it. For people in the world, it is just a matter of stealing more rich people. But Li and Chu fight in 20 years, it is rare to see them in twenty years, let alone some people come here from thousands of miles away. If they don’t even see Li Qiuyi or Chu Kuangdao’s shadow, they will brag to others in the future. When people ask, what color of clothes Li Qiuyi wears, they can’t even answer this, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Where there are people, there are business opportunities.

On the shore of Taihu Lake, there were several guys wearing yellow cloth gowns and cow heads selling tickets for martial arts. These people got a lot of tickets from the six doors and started to do two dealers. The original tickets for twenty taels were sold to 100 taels. It is said that the highest seat on the watchtower platform was priced at 100 taels. Of course, some of the money had to be taken out and handed over to local constables. This is also considered that cats have cats and rats have rats.

There are also several small vendors who carry their shoulders and take out snacks and candies. The originally 100-money bowl of braised noodles has now been several times more expensive.

For a time, there was a lot of noise on the shore of Taihu Lake, like the vegetable market in Suzhou.

"Dandan noodles, sauce noodles, a bowl of them, and it's a fairy!"

"Stinky tofu, Changsha stinky tofu, if you don't smell, you won't have money!"

"The illustration version of Li Qiuyi fights No Yui, buy one and get one free!"

The small vendors also shook their cheeks and shouted loudly to attract customers.

There were two fruit vendors who both took a fancy to a stall with an excellent location and said they came first, so they fought together.

Life is not easy, and they are willing to fight for their livelihood tomorrow. They don’t care about the golden sword or the silver sword. I heard that there are many people here, so they bought goods dozens of miles in the middle of the night. When they came here, they just sold more copper coins.

The shouts came one after another.

In the most inconspicuous corner, there is a noodle stall.

The noodle stall is not big, with a noodle bun and a pot with hot water. There is a stone slab on the ground with the words "Shandong Brine Noodles" written on it. The brushstrokes and phoenixes are wandering around, and the writing is quite elegant.

The boss is a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance, a clean figure, wearing a shabby Confucian shirt, squatting there quietly, and he doesn't take the initiative to call for customers. He holds a branch, is empty in the air, constantly gestures, as if he is writing.

If someone comes, cook a bowl, add a few drops of sesame oil and a few chopped green onion, and sit in a bowl of hot Shandong braised noodles. After the guests eat it, they still only charge ten cents.
