Volume 1 - "The Beginning of Everything" "Eighty-One" is a quaint tavern
"I guess Uncle Ye will have to take a while to get it right, should we go out for a walk?" Idle and bored in Uncle Ye's house, Bingchen and Bai Yesang proposed to go out for a walk.
They are located in a bustling commercial street in the second district, where the lights are bright even in the early hours of the morning, so you don't have to worry about running out of places to go.
Bai Ye-san was originally sitting on the sofa with his head propped up by his hands and pretending to sleep, but after hearing Bingchen's proposal, he nodded with a smile and said, "It's a little boring to wait." ”
Bai Yesang stood up and moved his body, his body was a little stiff after sitting for so long without moving.
"It's not too early, where are we going?"
Bai Yesang looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, although the lights were still bright outside, but there were not many places suitable for them and students to go.
"Hmm...... I know a good place, come with me. Bingchen pondered for a moment before thinking of where to go.
After leaving a note for the seniors of Yeqiu Temple, they closed the doors and windows and left.
At night, the streets feel very different from those during the day, and although they are brightly lit, they are very quiet.
There are not many people walking on the streets, most of them sit in different shops, or drink tea, wine, food, or chat, read books, and watch television, and as for the minority who do not enter the shops on the street, they either sit on the side of the street and watch the starry sky, or press the road with their admirers.
However, whether it is indoors or outdoors, everyone tries their best to suppress the noise they make, and they can't bear to break the quiet night.
"It's very quiet, and it makes you feel relaxed instantly. Walking on the street, Bai Yesang couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, that's the vibe, but not every night market is like that, and there are some lively streets that can be noisy all night. ”
Bai Yesang suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked behind him.
"What's wrong, is there anything unusual?" Bingchen also stopped, and looked behind Bai Yesang's gaze curiously.
Although there are some irrelevant passers-by, there is nothing strange about it.
"No, nothing. Bai Yesang shook his head and didn't say anything, he just suddenly remembered what happened last time.
He was curious if there would be the eyes of the All-World Alliance behind him this time.
Although Bingchen felt strange, he didn't say anything, anyway, it wasn't the first time that Bai Ye-san was so abnormal, he was more or less used to it.
"Let's go, it's almost there. ”
Bai Yesang nodded and continued to follow Bingchen forward.
"This is it. About ten minutes later, Bingchen and Bai Yesang stopped in front of an ancient and simple house.
Just standing at the door, Shiraha-san smelled the strong aroma of alcohol wafting from the house, and it seemed that this was a bar or a tavern.
But...... Interestingly, the architecture of this tavern is completely different from the surrounding shops, as if it is like a tavern in a martial arts novel, and the eaves are lit by red lanterns, which is dim but has a different charm.
Curiously, Shiraha-san knocked on the exterior wall of the tavern, as he could see, the tavern was made of solid wood, and even this solid wood gave people an antique feel.
"Thinking that we were going to have a retro café at the school festival, I was going to bring you here. ”
"This is based on the ancient inn as the prototype of the decoration, how? Bingchen said quite smugly.
"Indeed, but we don't think we're going to be able to get in at our age, so why don't you just take me to see it? Bai Ye-san joked.
"Why, come in with me. Bingchen said, and pushed open the wooden door of the tavern.
The two immature teenagers entering and exiting this kind of place will really attract attention, and as soon as they enter the tavern, whether it is the shopkeeper, the second child, or the guests, they all look at them.
When Bai Yesang was hesitating to go in, Bingchen had already walked to a square table and sat down, and beckoned him to come over.
Bai Yesang had no choice but to walk to the right side of Bingchen in full view of everyone, and sat down with his back to the others.
"Two guest officers!"
Sure enough, they are still not good at drinking as minors, and not long after Bai Yesang sat down, a thin man dressed as Xiao Er came over, but Xiao Er was shocked by the next sentence.
"Tip or stay?"
"Huh?"
Seeing Bai Yesang's surprised look, Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and then repeated in a different way, "This guest, do you want to eat or stay?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Well...... The two of us are underage. Bai Yesang waved his hand and said after hesitating for a moment.
"Ahh
"Hahahaha!" Xiao Er's words caused the other guests to burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, this kid is probably the first time to come to this kind of place, don't scare my guests away. A fat man dressed in a more affluent dress walked out of the side room and stopped everyone from continuing to laugh at Bai Yesan.
"Boss. Xiao Er bowed slightly and moved out of the way.
"I'm the shopkeeper here, boy, you're here for the first time, look at your uniform, you should be a student of the Qingying Academy. The shopkeeper touched his beard and introduced himself kindly.
Bai Yesang nodded and did not hide the identity of his student.
Being able to have a good relationship with the students of Jingying Academy made it in vain for me to come out to see what was going on.
The shopkeeper is worthy of being a businessman, and he has many ideas when his eyes roll.
"Since it's the first time I've arrived, any consumption of the two friends today will be counted on my head, so please enjoy the atmosphere of the tavern. ”
Bai Yesang and Bingchen couldn't refuse, and the shopkeeper left with a hearty smile.
The reason why he left so quickly was purely because the shopkeeper saw Bingchen's cold face and thought that Bingchen didn't like to talk to people.
I have to say that the shopkeeper is also a personal master, and a simple move has won the favor of Bai Yesang and Bingchen.
"This ...... Is the shopkeeper so wealthy?" After the two were stunned for a while, Bai Yesang came back to his senses and sighed.
"No, it's because of your uniform. Bingchen pointed to the academy uniform on Bai Yesang's body and said.
The status of the students of the academy symbolizes many things, and many people spare no effort to win over the students of the academy.
"Unfortunately, he guessed wrong, I was just a student without any background. Bai Yesang shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
"But you have a bright future. ”
"Don't be joking. Bai Yesang smiled bitterly and waved his hand.
"Two young masters, can you order food?" asked the little two on the side.
"Hmm...... Is there anything other than wine?" Bai Ye-san didn't care about the change in title and asked with a slight frown, although there was a treat from the shopkeeper, but the rule that minors can't drink alcohol hasn't changed.
"Of course there is, guest officer, this is an inn, not a tavern. ”
"Uh......" Bai Yesang looked at the ice dust on the side in embarrassment.
I saw Bingchen's paralyzed face and a sly smile, and then spread his hands and said, "I didn't say this was a tavern from beginning to end. ”
