Chapter 114: Drink
Zhang Dacai did not ask why Yu Liang did not appear with Qi Zhen and his party, which has to be said to be the sensitivity of a mature businessman.
The relationship between everyone has not been close to that point, so it is better not to ask than to ask and let the other party find a reason to prevaricate themselves.
Of course, he didn't really care in his heart.
He is concerned about the purpose of the other party's coming to him today.
If the other party really came to express his gratitude, Zhang Dacai didn't mind socializing with the other party, so he should have made a few friends.
When we meet in Pingshui, it is not easy to get together and disperse, and Zhang Dacai is never greedy.
After a while, the food and wine were put on the table, and Uncle Zong did not leave, but waited on the side to pour wine for everyone.
"There's nothing to entertain you, it's just to write coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike it." Zhang Dacai said politely.
Everyone looked at the cold dishes and hot bowls on the table, and the table with all kinds of chicken, duck and fish meat, and they were worried for a while.
Especially Jiang Yan and Meng Ran, looking at Qi Zhen's eyes with resentment.
Zhang Dacai saw that everyone didn't move their chopsticks, and thought that it was not with the taste of the guests, how did he know that a few people had just come here when they were full in the inn, and now they were holding a little uncomfortable, even if it was delicacies from the mountains and seas, where could they eat?
As for wine, no one dares to drink more, after all, no one is really stupid.
According to Qi Zhen, after entering Zhang's Mansion, the plot should have begun to advance.
It's just that the key time node and the key task action everyone doesn't know what it is, in case one is killed after drinking too much, then how can this game be played?
Of course, this is almost impossible.
Unless one of the four members present is an NPC who advances the story.
If such a thing really happens, then Qi Zhen may have to wonder what Xiaobai meant by the system upgrade when he entered the game.
The others didn't think as much as Qi Zhen thought, but they simply felt that they had eaten the top, and the food in front of them was really hard to swallow.
But you can still drink it.
Drinks, drinks.
Meng Ran and Jiang Yan drank a glass of wine, and the expressions on their faces were extremely exciting.
The resentment against Qi Zhen in his heart is on the verge of exploding.
Qi Zhen and Zhang Dacai clinked glasses and drank the wine in their glasses, then sighed, and secretly sent an apologetic expression to Jiang Yan and Meng Ran.
This wine is really delicious, the wine itself is a faint yellow-green, the entrance is not difficult, but the degree is not low, after swallowing, there will be a faint bamboo aroma in the throat.
"Good wine!" Qi Zhen sighed.
Speaking of his own wine, Zhang Dacai suddenly began to gush.
It turned out that Zhang Dacai's family dug a wine cellar by himself, which was specially used for his own brewing, and all the processes were handled by Uncle Zong.
The sake that everyone drinks now is called Zhuye Qing, which is made from rice wine and bamboo leaves, and many spices are added to it, so it has such a taste.
Not only that, but the wine cellar also stores daughter red and other wines, all of which are managed by Uncle Zong, and the brewing of these wines and the ratio of materials are not very clear even to Zhang Dacai himself.
As for how much wine is hidden in the wine cellar, Zhang Dacai never cares, but he is afraid that only God and Uncle Zong will know.
With wine as the lead, the topic naturally gradually increased a lot, probably because the tobacco business was extremely successful, and Zhang Dacai became happier the more he talked.
He really has a very free and easy temperament, and he doesn't feel sorry for his family's hard work to brew and store good wine, and in the end, everyone together drank three jars of bamboo leaf green, which is a ten-pound altar!
Wine is not greedy, slightly drunk is better.
But Qi Zhen forgot that the bodies of the team members were strengthened by attributes, and where could ordinary people like Zhang Dacai be compared?
So until Zhang Dacai had begun to show obvious drunkenness, Qi Zhen and the others still didn't feel any special changes in their bodies.
From this point of view, no matter who the team is, they can be called veritable Bacchus when thrown into the real world.
After a while, Zhang Dacai's tongue became a little shorter.
"Didn't you go to the Douz? How's it going? Did anyone find it? Zhang Dacai asked.
"If you go, you will naturally go, and people will find it." Qi Zhen replied with a smile.
"Congratulations, but why haven't you seen those two brothers today?" Zhang Dacai's eyes were a little misty, and his eyes swept over the few people in front of him.
Qi Zhen knew that he was talking about Lin Xiao and Li San.
"I can't tell you the truth, my two companions died in Guz." Qi Zhen sighed and said softly.
"What?! This... Why is that? Zhang Dacai exclaimed.
"This has to start when we separated......" Qi Zhen said slowly.
“…… And so, although we rushed there, we still did not save our companions, and we saw them breathe in front of us, alas! Qi Zhen sighed.
Zhang Dacai raised his glass, touched it with Qi Zhen, and said softly: "Don't be too sad, although I don't know much about gods and ghosts, I only hope that they have spirits in the sky and can ensure that your next journey to the immortals goes smoothly." ”
Qi Zhen naturally did not tell Zhang Dacai about Li San secretly hiding.
However, he told the other information that the team knew without reservation.
Including Lin Xi's affairs and Xiao Ao's existence.
But he didn't tell the other party the speculation that he suspected that the city god was the Tsing Yi person, but said it very vaguely, only saying that he suspected that the other party was also a ghost, but his breath was extremely open, and he didn't look like a ghost.
However, judging from Zhang Dacai's reaction, at least Qi Zhen did not find any problems, and after Qi Zhen said this, nothing unusual happened.
Zhang Dacai knew that he really couldn't help the other party, so he could only comfort him with words.
The atmosphere was slightly heavy.
Qi Zhen and Zhang Dacai both knew it, and this meal was almost here.
"I wonder what you're going to do next?" Zhang Dacai asked.
"Next, we are going to rest for another night, and continue to the west early tomorrow morning, and strive to get to Chaohu Lake as soon as possible, after all, the crape myrtle cave that Brother Zhang told us, we really want to visit, so this time I came here not only to express our gratitude to Brother Zhang, but also to say goodbye." Qi Zhen said.
"So the best, so the best." Zhang Dacai said again and again.
"It's getting late, so we won't delay Brother Zhang's rest, and we'll leave." Qi Zhen got up and said with his fists clenched.
"Okay, okay, I'll send you." Zhang Dacai stood up, but he stumbled under his feet, obviously drinking too much.
"Young master, go back to the house and rest, I'll just go." Uncle Zong hurriedly stepped forward to hug Zhang Dacai and persuaded.
Zhang Dacai was obviously a little unsteady on his feet, and Uncle Zong hurriedly called other subordinates to come in and help him back to his room to rest.
"Uncle Zong, please personally send a few of you back to the inn." Zhang Dacai's mouth has begun to slur.
"Brother Zhang, why bother, let's just go back ourselves." Qi Zhen said.
Uncle Zong replied and said to Qi Zhen: "No trouble, no trouble, please." ”
Other subordinates cleaned up the scraps on the table, and Qi Zhen and the others followed Uncle Zong out of Zhang's mansion.
Uncle Zong walked in front with a lantern, and the four of Qi Zhen followed behind and walked all the way back to the door of the inn.
"Thank you Uncle Zong for sending him all the way, this money should be our heart." Qi Zhen took out a silver ingot from his arms, which looked like it was about ten taels.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Uncle Zong waved his hand again and again.
Qi Zhen couldn't help but say, and stuffed the silver into the other party's hand.
"Thank you for the little one." Uncle Zong clenched his fists and said.
"You're welcome, there's one more thing, I want to ask Uncle Zong." Qi Zhen said.
"I can't talk about asking for advice, but it doesn't hurt for you to say, as long as I know, I will definitely know everything." Uncle Zong said.
"Do you know where the City God Temple is?" Qi Zhen asked.
Uncle Zong pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know what you mean by asking this?" ”
"It's just that on the way, I heard that the master of Wuhu Chenghuang is extremely effective, and we want to pay a visit before leaving, and then we are going to leave Wuhu." Qi Zhen said with a smile, her expression not in the slightest unnatural.
"The City God Temple is in the north of the city, and I'm afraid that it won't be easy when you go." Uncle Zong said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's just a visit to the immortals all the way, and there's nothing urgent about stopping and going. Thank you for informing us. Qi Zhen said.
"Then you guys rest early, and I'll go back first."
"You walk slowly." Qi Zhen clenched his fists and said.
Then he watched Uncle Zong leave slowly until he disappeared from the sight of the four of them.
"See what's wrong?" Qi Zhen asked.
"When you said that Lin Xiao and Li San were all dead, this uncle's movements paused obviously, although it was very subtle, and when you said that you suspected that the man in Tsing Yi was a ghost, and he didn't look like a ghost, he gave Zhang Dacai a full wine glass and sprinkled it outside." Li Qiang said.
"Not only that, but when I mentioned that I was going to the City God Temple just now, he clearly didn't want us to go." Qi Zhen said.
Those words were naturally not for Zhang Dacai, but for this uncle.
Since Zhang Dacai said that his trip to Ningbo to smoke was completely Uncle Zong's idea, Qi Zhen and Li Qiang had already begun to suspect him.
According to Zhang Dacai's previous statement, the weather in Wuhu began to change, and it was not long before he left for Ningbo.
In other words, it was at that point in time that the ghost power on Lin Xi's body had leaked to the point where it could begin to affect the weather here.
"So......" Jiang Yan said.
"That's right, Uncle Zong deliberately lured Zhang Dacai away from here, I'm afraid he just wanted to take this opportunity to do something." Qi Zhen nodded.
"Then why didn't we just leave him behind?" Meng Ran asked.
"Because we came to the door this time, we were there to startle the snake, but what I didn't expect was that the unexpected surprise did not come to Zhang Dacai, but to this old housekeeper." Qi Zhen said.
Meng Ran expressed his understanding: "Then what are we going to do next?" ”
"Wait for Li San's news." Qi Zhen said.
The four of them returned to the inn and began a long wait.
When the sky was bright, Li Sancai returned to the inn.
Everyone didn't sleep all night, and the expressions on their faces looked a little aggrieved.
"How?" Qi Zhen asked.
Li San shook his head: "It's not good." ”
"What do you mean?" Qi Zhen frowned.
"After you left, Zhang Dacai went back to the house and began to sleep, it should be his concubine's room, you must be curious about the next movement in the room, but I don't want to say." Li San was still in the mood to say a joke.
"Then the old butler returned, and I calculated that according to his pace, there should be little chance of leaving halfway to do something else."
Then he went back to his room and went to sleep. After Li San finished speaking, he looked at Qi Zhen.
"That's it!?" Qi Zhen asked.
"It's over." Li San spread his hands: "When I saw him get up and come out in the morning, I came back." ”
