"There are three guests at the T-shaped table, both sharp and live, ordering a plate of spicy chicken, a plate of cooked beef, a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of vinegared cabbage, three bowls of rice, and a pound of daughter red!" Zhao Zheng walked to the door of the smoky kitchen and reported many names of dishes in one breath.

The man in the kitchen answered, shook his big hand, threw the vegetables in the pot into the air, and then caught them all. In the process, green tendons appeared in his arms, and his muscles bulged with them, showing amazing arm strength.

Zhao Zheng grabbed the white rag on his shoulder, hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead, and before he could take a breath, another table of guests shouted to add food, he smiled bitterly, and hurriedly ran over to greet him.

This is the fortieth day of Zhao Zheng's shopkeeper, during which he has received a month's salary, that is, ten taels of silver, and said goodbye to the back kitchen and ran to the lobby to help greet guests. He had memorized all the names and prices of the dishes, and in addition to greeting customers and serving dishes, he also had to be responsible for tying horses and cleaning, but he was quite idle.

After these days of exercise, Zhao Zheng's eloquence has improved a lot, and he has gradually become accustomed to the way of speaking of the ancients.

In terms of interpersonal relationships, Zhao Zheng is already familiar with most of the people in the inn, especially with two shopkeepers of the same age, who often play and laugh with each other in their spare time.

Although Zhao Zheng wanted to please Shen Luoxia, the shopkeeper, he did not make much progress, and the relationship between the two parties was currently just a simple relationship between employers and employees, and there was no opportunity to speak except for greetings. He is only a shopkeeper now, he has no strength, no money, it is too difficult to please a female shopkeeper, and there is no chance to start.

In terms of martial arts, Zhao Zheng can only be regarded as a small success, his leg skills are much more stable, and the strength of his arms is also increasing step by step, but he still has not reached the point of activating the system, and he is not yet a martial artist.

In "Riding Horses and Rivers", the realm of martial arts is divided into 12 levels, named after the unit of "Chongtian", which is the first heavy heaven, the second heavy heaven, and the third heavy heaven...... And so on.

After this period of exploration, Zhao Zheng found that this world still uses the hierarchical names in the game, and the warriors all use Chongtian to divide their strength.

Take the people in the Hongchen Inn as an example, Shen Luoxia, who is in charge of the shop, has reached the third heaven, while the human butcher and the smiling ghost only have the second heaven, and Song Kuaizui is even lower, only having the strength of the first heaven. As for the other shopkeepers, not to mention.

The level of martial arts cultivation is not just a quantitative difference, but there is an essential difference, and each level has its own unique advantages.

In the first heaven, the difference between martial artists and ordinary people is not big, but the strength is a little greater, and when it comes to the second heaven, earth-shaking changes will begin to appear.

After the warrior reaches the second heaven, the epidermis and skin will undergo a qualitative change, becoming extremely tough, which can greatly improve the ability to resist blows. If you use the same force to fight the martial artists of the first and second heavens respectively, the martial artists of the second heavy heaven will be much less injured.

If you are a martial artist who has cultivated a hard kung fu such as an iron cloth shirt, you can even make your skin like gold and iron to resist the attack of the sword!

As for the realm after the double heaven, it is even more magical and unpredictable, and for the current Zhao Zheng, it is an unattainable height.

He now only wants to break through the realm of ordinary people, reach the first heaven early, and maybe after reaching the first heaven, he will be able to activate the sleeping system in his mind. He couldn't guess what exactly the functions of the system would be and what benefits it would bring him, so his heart was full of anticipation.

……

In the morning, everyone in the store will have breakfast, so the shopkeeper is very busy, and only after the customers have finished eating, they can get free time, eat a bite of food, and rest for a while.

Zhao Zheng sat around a table with several shopkeepers, holding a hot steamed bun in his hand, taking a bite of the steamed bun, eating a mouthful of green vegetables, and sometimes drinking a mouthful of millet gruel. Due to the fatigue of work, and the fact that he is the age of growing his body, his appetite is extraordinarily good, and he eats the most at every meal, and he can't even compare to the butchers of tall people.

Just when everyone was eating deliciously, a slender figure appeared at the staircase, strolling down, slowly not in a hurry.

The person who came was none other than Shen Luoxia, the shopkeeper in the store, who was dressed up as usual, wearing a set of pink sè long dresses, and the lace at the bottom of the skirt shook like waves with the ups and downs of her pace.

Although they have been together for a long time and are familiar with each other, the men in the store can't help but set their eyes on Shen Luoxia, and the eyes of the two of them imply fiery.

Shen Luoxia is used to being watched by men, and she also likes to be watched by men, so she doesn't care that the guys in the store are looking at her. She smiled, lightly opened her lips and said, "I've been in the inn for a long time, and I feel a little bored, and I plan to go to Qibao County for a spin." Do you have anything to buy? I can bring it back for you. ”

The guys eat and live in the inn, and even the clothes are issued by the inn, so there is really no more demand, so there are few people who need to bring things from the county, only one of the little two who lives in Qibao County asked the shopkeeper to help send some money to the house, and the shopkeeper readily agreed.

Zhao Zheng only had ten taels of silver on his body, and he didn't plan to buy anything, but he suddenly remembered something important and stood up from his chair.

"Xiao Zhao, do you have anything to buy?" Seeing this, Shen Luoxia cast her silky and soft gaze on Zhao Zheng.

"Yes, I'd like to buy a flute." Zhao Zheng replied.

"You can play the flute?" When Shen Luoxia heard the word flute, her face suddenly moved, and she seemed to care about the instrument flute.

Zhao Zheng stared at Shen Luoxia's charming face, caught this detail, secretly rejoiced in his heart, shook his head and said, "I won't blow it." ”

"You don't know how to play the flute, what did you buy it for?" Shen Luoxia said with a smile.

"The shopkeeper doesn't know that although I don't know how to play the flute, I have heard others play the flute before. When I first heard the sound of the flute, I was fascinated by the sound and secretly decided that I must learn to play the flute in the future. It's a dream of mine, so to speak. Zhao Zheng lied without being red or white. In fact, not only did he not know how to play the flute, but he also had no interest in musical instruments, and the reason why he asked the shopkeeper Shen to help buy the flute was for another purpose.

"I see. All right. I'll buy you one back. But I'm going to say it in the first place, if you don't know how to blow it, you can't blow it in the inn, so as not to disturb the customers in the store. Shen Luoxia's face gradually slowed down and returned to normal.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.

Shen Luoxia inquired again, and when she saw that no one needed to carry anything anymore, she called Song Kuaizui and left the inn together. Song Kuaizui took out the carriage of the inn and became a temporary groom. In ancient times, horses were the best means of transportation, and many people knew how to harness horses and domesticate them. Shen Luoxia gracefully got into the carriage and lowered the curtain on the door.

Song Kuaizui raised the horsewhip, pulled out a crisp sound, and the horse started with his neck back, leaving a trail of smoke and dust on Zhongguan Road, and gradually drifted away.

Zhao Zheng looked at the door, thoughtfully, and wrote in detail the skills to enhance the relationship with Shen Luoxia in the game strategy, which contains a hidden plot, if this hidden plot can be triggered, it can greatly improve the friendship with Shen Luoxia.

Shen Luoxia's family has a younger brother who is very talented in music and rhythm, and likes to play the flute since he was a child, but because of a serious illness, her younger brother died early and died in his teens. This matter has always been a secret hidden by Shen Luoxia, and she has never mentioned it to anyone since she stepped into the rivers and lakes.

In the game, someone inadvertently played a flute in the inn, and the sound of the flute touched Shen Luoxia's heart, Shen Luoxia took the initiative to find the player, claiming that listening to the player's flute, she remembered her younger brother and wanted to recognize this player as her godbrother. This player readily agreed, chose to accept, and immediately had a great relationship with Shen Luoxia and got a lot of benefits.

It was in order to trigger this hidden plot that Zhao Zhengcai temporarily entrusted Shen Luoxia to buy a flute for him.

Judging from Shen Luoxia's special performance when she heard the flute, she should be the same as the background in the game in reality, and she also has a younger brother who likes to play the flute.

Zhao Zheng feels that this is a good breakthrough point, if he succeeds, he may be able to become Shen Luoxia's godbrother by relying on the flute sound just like in the game. became Shen Luoxia's godbrother, and naturally he could learn that middle-grade light martial arts.

The problem now is that Zhao Zheng doesn't know how to play the flute, and even if he buys the flute, he can't touch this hidden plot, so he can only find time to explore and practice, and strive to be self-taught in a few months.

He has to work and practice martial arts every day, and now he has the task of teaching himself to play the flute, so he is getting busier and busier.

After eating, Zhao Zheng put away the dishes and chopsticks, washed them clean and put them in the cupboard, and then Wang Er ordered him to clean the room and keep him busy.

Approaching noon, the number of guests gradually increased, and Zhao Zheng put down other work and came to the front hall to entertain guests.

Seeing a figure approaching outside the door, this person strode into the room, glaring at the tiger and glancing around.

This person is in his thirties, looks like a dragon and a tiger, wears a brown sè suit, wears a black sè soft capsule hat, hangs a rope around the right side of his waist, and hangs a jade plaque more than ten centimeters long on the left side of his waist, which is engraved with the words "strain slash thief". This set of dresses is exactly the standard dress of Catchy Fast.

When the guests in the inn saw that the catcher was coming, they all looked at it with concern, but in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, most of them just glanced at it in a hurry, then withdrew their gaze and buried their heads in eating.

Zhao Zheng was standing at the door, it was the first time he entertained the catcher, and he couldn't help but play the twelve-point jīng god and greeted him with a smile. As soon as he approached the place beside the male catcher, he smelled a fox smell, and it turned out that this catcher had a fox odor on his body.

"Little Er, ask your shopkeeper to come out and drink with me!" As soon as the male catcher entered the door, he shouted loudly, not paying any attention to the other people in the store.
