It wasn't until Zheng Zheng's store opened for almost ten days that the trend slowly subsided, and the store was deserted, and no one came to the door for two days in a row.

After calming down like this, Zheng Zheng felt that Anna was really prescient, and what he said was not bad at all. If you had had a drinking party before the opening, you would have been annoyed to death.

On this day, Zheng Zheng moved a recliner and lay on the edge of the store to bask in the sun. The front of this store is facing the sun, and it is facing a building that is not particularly high, so the sunlight can shine directly into the storefront. Basking in the sun is one of Zheng Zheng's few hobbies, and part of the reason why he chose this store at that time was because of this.

"Xiaoxue...... Do you feel that this is different from China? apart from the customs and language, what do you think is the difference?" Lying on the recliner basking in the sun, Zheng Zheng squinted his eyes and asked leisurely.

Bai Xiaoxue was holding a laptop and looking at it seriously, and there were several wine bottles on the counter in front of her, as well as a cocktail and a wine glass. Hearing Zheng Zheng ask, Bai Xiaoxue raised her head and thought about it, and then said: "It's not very convenient to stir-fry, and things like pepper fennel are not easy to buy...... Well, if you want to cook Western food, it's much more convenient than domestic...... What about you?"

Hearing Bai Xiaoxue say this, a strange look appeared on Zheng Zheng's originally enjoyable face, and his stomach vaguely began to feel a little uncomfortable.

Well...... Is this Western food...... But it's not a good memory......

Bai Xiaoxue's cooking level is actually quite good, I don't know how much better than Zheng Zheng. After all, she has lived independently for so long, and the home-cooked food is still quite good. Zheng Zheng was basically idle in the restaurant before, busy with bubble noodles, and the cooking was only at the level of egg fried tomatoes and tomato scrambled eggs, which was naturally far inferior to Bai Xiaoxue.

So when she arrived in Rome, after settling down in this store, Bai Xiaoxue volunteered to take on the responsibility of cooking vegetables. In view of the previous situation in China, Zheng Zheng is still happy to let Bai Xiaoxue do this matter, and he is responsible for enjoying the blessings.

However, because of being in a foreign land, many of the common domestic spices were not available in Rome. And because the design concept of the kitchen is different from that of China, cooking food has a great possibility of causing a fire alarm in the room, so after Bai Xiaoxue figured out the situation, not only was she not discouraged, but set her goal on getting Western food.

Zheng Zheng is still quite happy about this matter, girl, it's cute to study cooking and cooking when it's okay than to study "how to be a queen" and other chicken soup for the soul when it's okay. After all, Bai Xiaoxue's cooking skills were quite good before, and the reason in this is almost figured out, Zheng Zheng still has expectations for the Western food made by Bai Xiaoxue herself.

However, after actually eating the steak made by Bai Xiaoxue, Zheng Zheng deeply realized how young, naïve, ignorant and shallow he was.

Prior to this, Zheng Zheng did not have an exact understanding of the term "dark cuisine" that was circulating on the Internet, and he did not know what it was like to "feel the malice of this world". But when Zheng Zheng ate the steak served by Bai Xiaoxue, who was looking forward to it, Zheng Zheng had a deep understanding of what "dark cuisine" was, and clearly "felt the malice of this world".

But looking at Bai Xiaoxue's expectation, Zheng Zheng could only swallow the pain on his face that he didn't have time to show, along with the steak that exuded a burnt smell in his mouth but could bite out a mouthful of blood.

Although Zheng Zheng still praised Bai Xiaoxue a few words at that time, Bai Xiaoxue also saw from the fact that Zheng Zheng had a stomach after eating steak and pulled his stomach all night, and he was not very talented in Western food. After exchanging views with Zheng Zheng and listening to Zheng Zheng's euphemistic suggestion of "you can try it in a different direction", Bai Xiaoxue decided to change her research direction.

"What are we ......" Zheng Zheng shook his head, pulled himself out of the not very pleasant meeting, and said: "The rest is good, but the cigarettes that you are used to smoking in China cannot be bought, so you are not used to it...... But the sunshine is good, and it can be regarded as making up for the lack of smoking a cigarette you like. ”

"I don't know how a person in his twenties loves the sun so much like an old grandfather......"

Bai Xiaoxue muttered as she picked up the wine bottles on the counter, poured various drinks into the shaker according to a certain proportion, and then stirred it slightly. She looked at Zheng Zheng with some anticipation and said, "Come, try the cocktail I just made, right?"

"Uh......" Zheng Zheng raised his wrist to look at the time, and then said: "Xiaoxue, good, it's just less than ten o'clock, and I haven't gone to bed yet." Wait until the evening, okay, if I can't sleep at night, I'm going to drink this cocktail. ”

Didn't Bai Xiaoxue say that she wanted to change her research direction? I don't know why, she put her research direction on the research cocktail. When business began to go cold two days ago, Bai Xiaoxue concocted her first glass of work - an unknown liquid called a cocktail, and promised that this would definitely not make Zheng Zheng have diarrhea again.

That glass of wine looked like it was only about three or two, and although the color was a little weird, it didn't smell strange except for the smell of wine. Zheng Zheng can be regarded as "tested for a long time", and three taels of water wine is not a problem at all, so Zheng Zheng was basking in the sun at the time, and at the same time he took a sip of this glass of wine.

Less than five minutes after drinking this glass of wine, Zheng Zheng's head was clouded. Zheng Zheng, who has always been quite restrained in drinking and other things, was completely drunk, and then really experienced the feeling of "fragments".

Bai Xiaoxue firmly believed that she had made a mistake in the ratio of wine, and strongly asked Zheng Zheng to wait for her to make another glass of wine before trying it. Although Zheng Zheng was also surprised that a glass of about three taels of water and wine could directly break himself, Zheng Zheng really didn't want to repeat a similar attempt - at least Zheng Zheng was not ready to drink it if he didn't sleep for seven or eight hours......

"Nasty...... It's all said to be an accident. Bai Xiaoxue is not reluctant. She walked out of the counter and walked behind Zheng Zheng, stretched out her hand and gently kneaded Zheng Zheng's shoulder, and said, "Zheng Zheng, no one has come today." ”

Zheng Zheng adjusted his posture and tried to lie down more comfortably. To be honest, his image is too much like an unscrupulous rich man: "It's a little uncomfortable to lie on your neck, rub it twice...... It's still early before dark, so what's the hurry...... What's wrong, I'm afraid business won't be good?"

Bai Xiaoxue gently rubbed Zheng Zheng's shoulders and said, "It's not that I'm afraid that business is not good, I'm afraid that you will be bored, and I always think that you may ...... Well, stressed?"

"No, I'm not stressed at all. Zheng Zheng squinted and said. After thinking about it, Zheng Zheng opened his eyes slightly and said, "How can I say it, the people who came before didn't come to do business, but now they can come, this is the real person who has the heart to do business with me." Therefore, no matter how many people came before, it was all false. And now, even if no one comes for many days in a row, as long as someone comes, they want to do business with me. ”

Zheng Zheng didn't say this to comfort Bai Xiaoxue, he really thought about it. He's really not in a hurry now, and he doesn't feel that his popularity is low or anything. He knew that although the situation seemed to be a bit bad now, the people in the store would all sincerely want to do business with Zheng Zheng.

The antique shop was originally a business that was not open for three years, and I have never heard of an antique shop that was squeezed through the threshold every day. It's very common for business to be cold.

After saying this, Zheng Zheng was ready to close his eyes and enjoy the decadent life of basking in the sun and being massaged. But when he glanced over, he saw a young man with blond hair and blue eyes stopped at the door of the store.

The young man looked up at the name of the store, and then looked inside through the glass door from a distance, and looked at Zheng Zheng who was lying on the recliner and Bai Xiaoxue who was rubbing his shoulders, and his face was a little uncertain.

"Xiaoxue......" Zheng Zheng didn't look at the young man again, but said to Bai Xiaoxue: "Xiaoxue, go and pack up those wine bottles, we should be guests." ”

"Oh. Bai Xiaoxue glanced at the young man standing outside the store who was hesitant, turned around and walked back to the counter, and began to clean up the wine bottles and cocktails on the counter.

At this time, the young man who had been outside the store seemed to have made up his mind and walked into the store.

Zheng Zheng stood up from the recliner and smiled at the young man with a strange face, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

The young man looked at Bai Xiaoxue, who was cleaning up the wine bottles on the counter, then looked at Zheng Zheng and said, "I'm not really sure if I'm in the right place...... You see, I'm looking for an antique shop, but it seems like a ...... Bar?"

Zheng Zheng smiled and nodded, and said, "Believe me, you are not looking for the wrong place, this is indeed the antique shop you are looking for." My name is Zheng Zheng, how can I help you?"

The young man looked Zheng Zheng up and down, and asked cautiously, "You are the one who restored the Sphinx for Mr. Nikolai Anna, Mr. Zheng Zheng?" Listen, I'm not looking for trouble, I'm just trying to confirm this matter. ”

"As you can see, it's me. Zheng Zheng said as he pointed to the Inca altar on the side: "This is the sigil altar that Mr. Anna gave me, I think, this should be able to confirm this matter, right?"

"So this is the Inca altar......"

The young man looked at the Inca altar for a while, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but I've heard about it, but I'm not there...... My name is Benjamin Lance and I have a business and would like to talk to Mr. Zheng Zheng. ”

Zheng Zheng's heart moved, and he kept a smile on his face: "So, Mr. Lance, what business do you want to talk about?"
