The Wind Is Rising Chapter 12 The New Guy of Fengxuan Building
Fengxuan Building, the largest restaurant in Suzhou, has recently come to a new guy, who doesn't look big, about fifteen or sixteen years old. Obedient, and his hands and feet are also very diligent, anyway, the proprietress asked him to wash the dishes, and he would never serve tea and water.
Originally, the proprietress didn't want to recruit this guy, because she looked young and didn't have much strength, so she felt sorry for the salary. But when the man saw that the proprietress was a little disgusted with him that day, he walked towards the table closest to the door in the hall without saying a word, and without even inhaling, he lifted the whole table with one hand. Seeing that the proprietress was dumbfounded, from that day on, there was a new guy in Fengxuan Building.
The people in the store didn't know what the guy's name was, and he didn't say anything. So everyone called him Xiaomu, and at first everyone thought he was a mute, if he hadn't seen him look quite upright, maybe they would have thought that he was a fool from some family and ran out, at most this fool had some strength. It wasn't until I got along with this wood later and heard him speak that I dispelled the idea that he was dumb.
As the largest restaurant in the city, Fengxuan Lou has excellent business. But usually, it will not be full, at most the store will be crowded during the New Year's holidays.
When the proprietress was fine, she sat in the hall of Fengxuan Building, chatting and joking with the guys. In addition to the new guys, there were three guys, one man and two women. But the age is older than the newcomer, and it's been a few years, and the boss lady has no interest in chatting, so the boss lady likes to tease the new guy when she has nothing to do.
It was a light rain outside, and it was sunset. There were few passers-by in the city, and the proprietress saw that there were probably no guests today, so she closed early. Seeing that the newcomer was cleaning up the table, he couldn't help but go to the room on the top floor on a whim to get two jugs of wine and walk slowly towards the guy.
"Little wood, where is your home? I don't think your accent is from Gusu, right?" the proprietress found a chair and sat down, pouring wine into the bowl as she spoke.
"Well, no, my house is quite far away. The man's tone was extremely flat.
The proprietress got used to his tone and said: "Look at the look very handsome, why did you come to our small restaurant as a buddy, with your skin, it's a pity not to practice swords, after you become a sword fairy, and then match your appearance, maybe how many little girls are pestering you." ”
The man didn't say anything, as if he didn't want to continue on the topic.
The proprietress drank two glasses as she spoke, and continued to quip: "Little wood, do you think you should be a son?" Look at your hands, you don't even have calluses, not like you came from a poor family, and your behavior is different from the bottom, it stands to reason that you shouldn't be reduced to this, and you are not too old, so you shouldn't be a little guy at this age." She filled herself again, "By the way, do you drink, I've been here for so many days, and I haven't seen you drink, do you want to try it?"
The guy shook his head.
"It's not interesting, it's not interesting, there are people in this world who refuse to drink. By the way, I haven't finished talking yet, Xiao Mu, tell my sister, is it from which big family did you escape? Presumably you ran away from marriage, right? Also, the children of the family sometimes have no choice by themselves, and besides, I am sure that the girl is not handsome. The proprietress had begun to get a little drunk, and she was talking louder.
The other guys in the restaurant had already cleaned up and gone back to their respective rooms to sleep. There are only two people left in the huge restaurant, a man and a woman, a proprietress and a new guy.
The man still didn't speak, and the proprietress quickly finished a jug of wine.
The proprietress was already a little slurred in her mouth, and the whole restaurant was her voice. "Do you know little wood, this wine has been twenty-three years, twenty-three years! In the year I was born, my father buried the rice wine he had brewed in the yard, saying that he would give it to me on the day I got married. ”
"Well, I know, daughter red. The guy took a rare answer.
"It's rare, little wood, you can actually reply to me. The proprietress was obviously a little excited, opened the second pot of wine, and said loudly: "Come! In order to celebrate your conversation, let's drink one more of them!" She suddenly stood up and stepped on one foot on the chair, like a woman on the rivers and lakes.
Maybe the proprietress used to be a heroine.
The guy looked at the proprietress and frowned slightly. He suddenly stepped forward and snatched the flask, and said softly: "You can't drink it anymore, if you drink it again, you will get drunk." ”
"What are you drunk on? How many times are you drunk in life? Besides, will the old lady get drunk? I want to think about me back then.." The proprietress was already completely slurred, but she could vaguely hear the content of the speech, but the voice was getting smaller and smaller, and she leaned on the table as she spoke, "Wine, small.. Small wood, take. Bring the wine. After a while, he fell asleep.
This is obviously not the first time this new guy has seen the proprietress drunk. After tidying up the table, he carried the proprietress back to the room on the top floor, and finally did not forget to seal the unfinished wine.
When everything was put together, he took a big breath.
Is this the life of the people at the bottom?
Zhiqiu, what you can do, I can also do.
You can be an ordinary person in Gusuzhou for three years, why can't I?
The game has just begun, and it doesn't matter if you lose a few pieces in the middle game.
After the news of the swordsman was released, he was a little depressed during this time. The bold words that were said at the beginning, what led Yushui Street to compete with a knifeman, have now become a joke.
He couldn't quite understand it, it was clear that this swordsman was a prodigal son on the surface, and he was all idle people. Why did it suddenly become an organization on the dark list again, there is no doubt that the man in black who met on Yushui Street that morning was the "big boss" of that organization, as for why he and Zhiqiu were not killed that day, in addition to what Zhiqiu said, I am afraid there are other reasons.
Mianzhi never likes to think about these things, and he gets a headache when he thinks about it. But the facts made him have to think that as the "big brother" of Yushui Street, he is the biggest in terms of age and kung fu. It seems that he does have a responsibility to think about these things, otherwise if one day the people of Yushui Street are bullied, who will come forward?
This stupid big man is not only thinking about the matter of a knifeman, but also thinking about why his kung fu has not made any progress in the past three years. Mian Zhi didn't know who to ask, he only remembered that the master said that he was very talented in martial arts, and said that he was the youngest cultivator.
However, there is nothing to be proud of in cultivating the Passage Realm, right?
It seems that the children of the gate sect who are a little bit of roots can reach this level after practicing for a few years?
What does it have to do with the length of time? I was in this state three years ago, and it hasn't changed at all after three years, so what's the use of having this youngest title?
The stupid big man shook his head, thinking about it, seeing that the moonlight was good, he went out for a walk. He walked with his head down, and he didn't look at the road, and he carried his hands behind his back like an old man, but the only difference was that he walked very fast. After a while, he went out of the south of the city, but because it was raining, there was not even a figure on the street, and he didn't know where to go. He suddenly saw the word "wine" hanging high in front of him, and touched his pocket again.
I don't think there's some silver, so I haven't drunk in a long time, so let's go take a sip or two.
It's a pity that I didn't bring Zhiqiu, this kid is very good at drinking.
Thinking about it, he walked forward and saw that the door was closed. And he saw that there was no light inside, and he estimated that it was closed, while lamenting why his luck was so bad today, and complaining about how the restaurant closed so early. He shook his head, ready to turn around, only to see the door suddenly open.
"Guest officer, are you here for a drink?" A young man walked out of the door, tall and thin, and looked a little younger than Mianzhi.
"Hmm... I've had nothing to do today, and I'm walking around, and I just happened to come here, and I want to have a drink, but you seem to be closed?"
"Originally, it was closed, but since there are guests coming, please come in, it's okay to close later. The young man said in a loud voice.
"That's good, then I'll have two pots of bars, the cheapest kind!" Mian Zhi suddenly felt better again, and strode into the restaurant.
"Then I'll get you two pots of Huadiao, which are cheap and delicious, and many people like to drink them. The boy went to get the wine as he spoke.
"Of course you can, get me some more peanuts and drink them, hehe. ”
After a while, the boy took two jugs of wine and a plate of peanuts and gently placed them on the table.
"Little Er, sit down and have two drinks together? Mian Zhi felt a little bored drinking alone, and looked at this little two very pleasantly, so he opened his mouth to invite.
The young man shook his head and replied, "I don't know how to drink, so you can drink by yourself, guest officer." ”
Mian Zhi didn't say anything when he saw this, so he drank it to himself.
After drinking a pot of wine, Mian Zhi still felt too bored, this person was indeed too boring to drink. So he looked at Xiao Er, who was standing at the door next to him, and wanted him to come over and chat.
However, he looked at this junior second and found that something was wrong.
Hey, he looks very thin, this bone is good. But I'm afraid it's not the road of "force", and it is estimated that it is also from which sect.
Mian Zhi suddenly became interested, so he said loudly: "Xiao Er, have you ever practiced martial arts?"
When the young man heard this, he turned his head unhurriedly and said with an expressionless face: "Haven't you also practiced martial arts, guest officer?"
"Your little two is too boring to talk to, and it's really hard to talk to you. Obviously, I asked you, but you still asked me, forget it, forget it, I won't touch your details, and we don't know each other. Mian Zhi was very strange how this little second had such a strong sense of resistance, but he didn't think much about it.
Just don't talk about it.
After drinking the wine, he reluctantly looked at the moon outside the window, and saw that it was not too early at this time. So I don't care if the peanuts are not eaten yet, I feel distressed, how can I eat peanuts without wine?
He said to Xiao Er, who was still standing at the door: "Xiao Er, settle the account!"
Who knew that Xiao Er said softly: "Guest officer, I invite you to this order tonight, and you can go." ”
Mian Zhi was stunned for a moment, and this good thing?
If you don't know anyone well, why do you treat you the first time you meet?
Hey, this little two is a cheerful person.
"This... How good is this, we are not familiar with it. However, Mian Zhi still couldn't be as cheeky as Zhiqiu, but he still thought in his heart that if he brought that guy over, he would definitely hug his fists, and then turn around and leave.
This guy, what is the advantage in the world that does not take advantage?
How much sugar gourd did you pit me?
"It's okay, I see that you have eyes, I will invite this order. If you can't get over it, just come to Fengxuan Tower next time to find me and invite me to dinner. The boy popped out so many words in a row, and he was barely used to it.
However, Mian Zhi did not shirk it, hugged his fists and thanked him, and left the restaurant.
It was the young man of the second prince Li Chengde who watched the big man leave, and there was a slight smile on his face.
This is the man who looks up to that mountain?
Looks like a drunkard.
