Capítulo 1909: Chapter 1910: Small Town
When the environntal modification concluded without any unexpected events, Feng Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn’t want Maomu City to face another major incident just after the abnormal space event had ended.
At Liao Yu’s invitation, Feng Yuan casually had sothing to eat nearby while gathering information about the specialty town. After listening to Liao Yu’s introduction, Feng Yuan felt that place seed a bit peculiar.
Since he was out and had nothing else to do, he thought he might as well take a look at the place. Feng Yuan decided to have Qi Chen invite Dou Yanlan to join them in exploring the new specialty town.
When they arrived, seeing the blocked entrance of the specialty town, Feng Yuan hesitantly scratched his head and said,
“This place, is it closed?”
“It doesn’t seem so, but… do we need to change clothes?”
Dou Yanlan quickly noticed the big notice board, and the information on it made her feel very strange. Feng Yuan also said sowhat puzzledly,
“According to Liao Yu, this place was supposedly quite nice at first, if it weren’t for that incident…”
The timing of this place’s opening wasn’t very fortunate. Although it managed to avoid the first flight hotspot of the Skyship, no one expected that the abnormal space incident would occur shortly after, dealing a significant blow to the new specialty town.
After all, at that ti, nearly all students were trapped in the abnormal space, and even adults had little mood to go out due to various reasons. Even now, though the abnormal space event has ended, it will likely take so ti to return to normalcy.
Therefore, Feng Yuan was curious about what made this place so unique that Liao Yu believed it wouldn’t go out of business due to this unexpected incident.
“Do we need to wear specially designed folk costus? That’s very unique, but… why are ritual robes also allowed?”
Qi Chen peered at the notice, confused, and said. Folk costus weren’t hard to understand, since the place was probably trying to enhance the tourism experience. Compared to travelers in modern clothing among ancient-style architecture, tourists in ethnic dress can better blend into the surroundings.
However, including ritual robes in the requirent puzzled him a bit.
“Hmm, that’s not surprising. After all, ritual robes don’t have particularly modern designs.”
Feng Yuan glanced at the notice and stroked his chin. He didn’t find the requirent strange. Ritual robes usually have connections to Divine Beasts or traditional customs. Of course, creating an odd-looking ritual robe might not be recognized by others, especially since there were range restrictions.
As for things like the Wolf God’s Robe, they generally leaned towards traditional attire. After all, those are either related to traditional culture or beings like Divine Beasts, which won’t accept overly trendy designs.
“I happened to bring the Wolf God’s Robe, but let’s look around first.”
Feng Yuan stroked his chin, glanced at the Big Cat behind him, and said. Knowing what Feng Yuan ant by “bringing it,” Qi Chen helplessly chuckled and said,
“It seems you can rent clothes for free there.”
Though located in the city, Cha Mu Specialty Town, apart from the four main entrances, is surrounded by walls, separating it from the surrounding urban area to so extent.
The clothing available for rent here primarily includes local ethnic costus from Cha Mu Town, but there are also various ethnic costus from other regions mixed in.
According to the staff, there was a limited amount of costus from other areas. If they had co during the opening days, they would barely see these clothes. Unfortunately…
Therefore, Feng Yuan specifically asked the staff how many shops were open in the town, expecting a surprising answer. At least according to what he was told, the whole town was essentially in normal operation.
Although he had the Wolf God’s Robe, Feng Yuan couldn’t be bothered to wear that cumberso outfit. Most of the clothing provided here was like outer robes that could be easily changed into. There were even custom backpacks catering to the environnt that tourists could borrow to carry things.
Veronia, reluctant to change clothes, simply reverted to her original form and sat on the Rainbow Bubbles. Her transformation startled the staff, understandably, as such a transformation without prior ntal preparation was quite shocking.
“The environnt here looks pretty good, but… isn’t this still Cha Mu Town’s specialty?”
Upon entering the specialty town, after walking for a while, Feng Yuan noticed that it seed to be the sa old stuff. However, compared to the old specialty street, the decorations here were much better. If not for the glass and the TV embedded in the walls, it might give the illusion of stepping back in ti.
Of course, those modern things couldn’t be completely avoided. Even looking up into the distance, one wouldn’t see the skyscrapers from the city within the town. This is because they used the power of the Data Domain, enveloping Cha Mu Specialty Town with a special, invisible screen through special equipnt.
From the outside, one wouldn’t be affected, but looking out from within, the special screen’s sky would obstruct the view.
As for modern things, it wasn’t necessary to go too far with details. Eliminating them might require several tis the funds to achieve the effects of modern equipnt.
For the specialty town, it’s unnecessary. The overall ambiance is sufficient, and there’s no need for a fully authentic ancient town.
Gazing around, Dou Yanlan said,
“It’s not quite the sa. The specialty street focused on souvenirs, but this place emphasizes experience, while souvenir sales are sowhat secondary.”
The forr specialty street simply sold Cha Mu Town’s specialties, whether Yun tea or other items, mostly all packaged. But this place was different.
Compared to the specialty street, this specialty town looked more like a snack hub. Besides the regular dining area, prepackaged ingredients or snacks were displayed in the dining area and at store entrances.
“Hmm, for locals, it might not differ much, but for outsiders… it’s hard to say,”
Noticing a shop with a sign for High Red Tea Eggs, Feng Yuan uncertainly said. If it were just Yun tea or the like, he might not think much, but High Red Tea Eggs…
He knew about it, but because only one rather remote village made it well, he’d never gone there to try it.
Of course, the lack of tourism in that place was also why he hadn’t gone. Though he loved trying various snacks, he wouldn’t travel far just for a tea egg.
The High Red Tea Egg’s ingredients were quite unique. As Cha Mu Town is influenced by the Yognot, the eggs produced by hens from nearby villages on Gaoshan Ridge were sowhat special. Cooking them with the unique hybridized Yun tea would result in the egg whites inside the intact shells having fiery red fla-like patterns.
The pattern carried a tea aroma that enhanced the overall taste of the egg. However, due to the hybridized Yun tea’s dicinal value, the locals did not develop tourism around it.
Compared to selling High Red Tea Eggs, selling them as an auxiliary Spiritual dicine yields higher profits, which is why they’re absent from Cha Mu Town and other places.
Seeing them here now amazed Feng Yuan. Of course, he didn’t doubt the authenticity of the High Red Tea Eggs. Joking aside, even though Cha Mu Specialty Town is a Maomu Castle Investnt project, the company behind them wouldn’t allow fake goods to be sold here.
At least the raw materials are correct. As for the specific taste, Feng Yuan couldn’t say.
Noticing Feng Yuan’s intrigued expression, Qi Chen guessed his thoughts and suggested,
“Why not give it a try? I’ve always heard that the High Red Tea Eggs from Nanfeng Fort are very unique, and I’ve yet to try them.”
“Let’s give it a shot then, though I’m not sure if they can replicate the taste.”
After thinking for a mont, Feng Yuan said, intrigued. Though the item wasn’t particularly technical, it had a secret recipe. People had tried splurging on the unique local Yun tea and eggs to make it,
but the results were lacking. Not only was the taste off, but they couldn’t even manage the fla pattern.
