The next night, a light rain fell silently like smoke and mist.

Zhang Zhong'er was still alone, looking bored at the empty street. A row of drainage droplets fell from the eaves, like a beautiful beaded curtain.

Empress Lu Jiao and Captain Xiao He once again came to Zhang Zhong'er's small restaurant.

A large number of plainclothes forbidden soldiers scattered in all directions, armed with steel knives, in the dark, braving the rain to surround the small restaurant.

Not a single fly can fly in.

Captain He strolled in with an umbrella and the Empress Green.

"Alas, Lao He, Xiao Jiao. It's raining, why are you here?" Zhang Zhong'er was really surprised when he saw the two of them.

They came one after the other, and for the first time.

Lao He smiled and said, "What's the matter, shopkeeper? Is it still raining on this hungry stomach?"

Empress Lu Jiao smiled like a flower, waved her hand slightly, and said: "Lao He, don't talk nonsense! From last night to evening, the eleventh prince took the eleventh realm of the demon realm one after another, and the human god clan also came with good news, regaining the lost territory of the twenty-two cities from the demon realm. With such a good news, how can there be no reason not to celebrate?"

"Haha!" Lao He smiled, and his body involuntarily bowed to Empress Lujiao, "Grandma Jiao, you should be smiling from ear to ear! The soldiers snatched back countless gold, silver and jewelry, filling Grandma Jiao's silver trumpet basement, and even the backyard of the silver trumpet was piled up. Grandma Jiao is in a good mood, I have to treat me today!"

"Oh, is that true? Great! Look at me, it's so unheard. Every day, I am only busy with the business of the small shop, and I don't even know such great good news! I should celebrate, I should celebrate!" As she spoke, Zhang Zhong'er slapped her face as if she suddenly remembered something.

"However, it was a coincidence! It was raining, and I thought that there were no guests, so I prepared seven or eight kinds of specialty dishes, opened a jar of freshly brewed soju, and wanted to close the door early, and pour myself a drink to relieve my boredom. It's just that you're here, it's fate! Just celebrate the victory of my god clan together!"

Empress Green's eyes lit up.

"Since the shopkeeper makes his own specialty dish, I think it is many times more delicious than what we eat on a daily basis! The key is that you can also drink the soju made by the shopkeeper himself. Hehe, how can we be so lucky! If we don't get drunk tonight, we won't go home!"

"Grandma Jiao, this wine ...... Do you really want to drink tonight?" Captain Long He was worried about the safety of Empress Lujiao, and secondly, he had never seen her drink, for fear that she would not know the power of the wine and lose her temper after drinking.

Empress Green waved her hand.

"Lao He, don't spoil the fun! We happened to encounter such a great blessing, we can't miss it. ”

"Yes...... Be...... Since Grandma Xiaojiao wants to drink, she will give up her life to accompany the gentleman!" said the prime minister.

"Then you two wait a minute, I'll bring the food and drinks!"

Zhang Zhong'er went to the back kitchen as she spoke, and in a blink of an eye, she held a large square wooden plate and served the dishes together.

After skillfully arranging it, it was eight dishes and two soups: Buddha jumping over the wall, drunken pork ribs, lychee meat, dried scallops, fried double crispy, stewed crab roe lion's head, crystal trotters, anchovies, plus slippery broth and borscht.

The two glanced at Zhang Zhong'er with some surprise.

Lao He couldn't help but say: "Shopkeeper, you can really enjoy it! According to your meal, it will cost at least a few hundred taels of gold! Plus wine...... We didn't bring that much money today!"

Zhang Zhong'er smiled when she heard this, "I'm worried that no one will drink with me, it just so happens that the two of you are here, and it's too late to thank you, how can you still collect money!" Pan said, patting his head, "Oh! Look at my memory, I actually forgot the habits of the two of them, and I didn't separate the dishes." I'll take the plate right away. ”

After that, he ran to the back kitchen.

Empress Lujiao shouted lightly: "Shopkeeper, don't divide it, let's eat together." As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of lychee meat first, and after eating, he praised it: "Sure enough, the shopkeeper opened a small stove for himself, and this taste is simply going to send people to the sky!"

Captain He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva temptedly, but he didn't dare to reach for his chopsticks.

Zhang Zhong'er heard Empress Lujiao say that she wanted to eat together, and she didn't think much about it, she took out a large jar of wine from the wine cabinet and put it on the table. Then, I went to get the drinking utensils.

"Shopkeeper, just take the wine bowl!

"Grandma Xiaojiao is really a bold person, a heroine among women!" Zhang Zhong'er boasted and brought three wine bowls over.

sat directly on one side and filled the wine bowl, and suddenly the aroma of wine made the mouth and tongue itch, and the throat itched.

Prime Minister Lieutenant He couldn't help but urge the three of them to have a drink first.

Suddenly......

"Shopkeeper, are you wine?" said Captain He, his eyes as big as eggs.

The first time Empress Lujiao drank, she didn't understand what it meant, "What's wrong with Lao He? It's delicious! I've never drunk such a delicious thing since I was a child!" As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a little dizzy.

Captain Xiao He laughed, "Grandma Jiao, I'm afraid what we're drinking today is the elixir bath! The taste is mellow and fragrant, and the entrance is smooth and luscious, this is the real wine! I only drank it once in the year when the Extreme Demon Heavenly Emperor ascended the throne." And the wine we're drinking now is even better than that!"

"Brother Lao He smiled! This is just a small roast that I brewed according to the ancient method of the family, how can it be compared to the elixir and jade liquid of the heavenly court! However, since I can make Brother Lao He like it, I am still very happy. Here, let's have another bowl. Zhang Zhong'er said, and poured three more wine bowls.

The trio lifted again.

Empress Lujiao tasted it carefully this time, and inadvertently licked her red lips, only to feel that the aftertaste was long, refreshing, and couldn't help but praise two sentences, and then her jade face was red, and she said with a little doubt:

"Actually, I don't understand one thing, you are such a good craftman, and the winemaking is so good, why don't you consider making your career bigger?"

"Need help, just ask. I will take the lead in helping you publicize and ensure that your business will be prosperous, make a big gold mountain, and become a rich man. ”

The captain on the side, Captain Xiaohe, glanced at Zhang Zhong'er with a smile, and secretly sighed that Zhang Zhong'er's luck was really good.

I understand that Your Majesty wants to give a reward, and this is a reward for "lighting through the heavens" last night.

However, Zhang Zhong'er shook his head, smiled politely, and said, "Thank you for Grandma Xiaojiao's kindness, but a person like me will never be able to earn a mountain of gold." Because the money I earn every day, I will find a way to spend it the next day, and if I don't spend it, I will give it away. ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them were surprised.

"Why?"

"Gold is useless if it is not given to useful people. And too much gold doesn't make me happy. ”

"My greatest happiness is to stir-fry delicious dishes for those who want to eat them. Dedicate your spirit and strength to the person you love the most. Hold on to a beautiful dream. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhong'er squinted out the window, and there was a faint pink heart-shaped light in her quiet and deep eyes.

He didn't seem to want to let Empress Green and Captain Yong He see it.

"True happiness comes from inner fulfillment. I can only be happy if she is happy. Only indifferent and tranquil can I enjoy the simple and transparent happiness she gave me!"

Empress Green was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the clever shopkeeper who "can't afford to eat a restaurant" is not only a person who regards money as a wasteland, but also a big lover!

Such a master, but willing to hide in the market, is really a talent.

Empress Green suddenly completely discarded her previous opinion of him, and asked with interest: "Shopkeeper, why doesn't the person you love come to you?"

Zhang Zhong'er smiled faintly.

"I opened this little restaurant just to wait for her. Because she likes to eat my food the most, I'm sure she'll come. ”

"But what if she never comes?"

Zhang Zhong'er calmly glanced at the light outside the window, like a drizzle of silver filaments, "I will keep waiting." ”

"A toast to the shopkeeper and her lover as soon as possible!" Empress Green raised her glass.

"Thank you, Grandma Xiaojiao!" Zhang Zhong'er and Empress Lujiao's wine bowl touched lightly and drank it all!

The Empress of Green Jiao also drank very happily, and after drinking, she raised the wine bowl diagonally, and did not miss a drop!

Zhang Zhong'er praised: "Grandma Xiaojiao is really massive!"

The green queen wiped her mouth and smiled drunk, she was really as delicate as a flower.

"I knew that wine was so good, I had to drink it every day. ”

"Grandma Xiaojiao, I've almost drunk this wine tonight, let's go back!" Listening to what she said just now, it was obvious that she was already a little drunk.

Empress Green smiled heartily and said, "

The night is beautiful and the rain is new, and the good news is a great achievement.

Laugh and kill Li Taibai, don't drink the wine in the cup.

Empty and big, waste thousands of gold.

Empty head scarf, what do I have. ”

"Wonderful! wonderful! wonderful!" Zhang Zhong'er heard Xiao Jiao's clever change of Li Bai's poem, and ridiculed Captain Xiao He's refusal to drink, and couldn't help but praise it repeatedly, "Grandma Xiaojiao, this poem is very appropriate!"

The green queen held her cheeks in her hand, grinning and laughing, as if she was a little proud.

Prime Minister Captain Xiao He smiled bitterly, picked up the wine bowl, and drank it all.

Her Majesty the Empress drank some wine, she was so naughty and cute!

Watching the captain of the great minister of Xiao He finish drinking, the green queen patted her jade palm, I don't know if it was a ghost or something.

He blurted out and asked, "Shopkeeper, what is the relationship between you and the demons?"

......

As soon as Empress Green finished speaking, there was an instant silence in the tavern where there was no one.

Zhang Zhong'er looked at the green queen with the eyes of a monster.

Nima, how can this question not be kind at all?

Yesterday, I asked the Holy Lord what he should do next, which was already a very sensitive question, and he said a few more words in passing.

Today, I even asked myself about my relationship with the demons! I want to die!

I blame myself for talking too much yesterday!

It looks like I'm going to be annoyed.

In fact, not to mention Zhang Zhong'er, even the Grand Captain of Xiao He looked at Empress Lu Jiao with slightly strange eyes.

"Your Majesty, is this up there?"

However, this guy actually has important information that the imperial court can't grasp, and there is definitely a big problem.

This matter should have been handed over to her for interrogation by Empress Lujiao, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to go into battle in person.

It seems that her meaning is clear: she doesn't want to let herself get involved in this matter.
