Chapter 163 Windfall
Although the New Year is about to close, at the time of the meal, the Zuiyuan Building is still crowded, and the first floor is already overcrowded.
The diners drank warm wine and talked with relish about what had happened in the Broken Rock Deserted Village in the past year, and no one noticed that outside the door of the "Wind Chasing Pavilion" on the second floor, Li Tu, the eldest young master of the Li family, one of the three major families, was standing there motionless.
His face was bruised, bruised and swollen, but there was no discontent, no anger, and even no lack of piety.
The wine and food of the "Chasing Wind Pavilion" were personally served by Jia Ren, the shopkeeper of Zuiyuan Building, and for this, sharp-eyed diners had already discovered it, and couldn't help but whisper and secretly speculate, which family is holding a banquet here today?
However, this kind of thing is not unusual, so it has not attracted special attention.
Every time Jia Ren came to the door of the "Wind Chasing Pavilion" with wine and food, he couldn't help but pause slightly, and then glanced at Li Tu, wanting to say something, but in the end he shook his head and sighed secretly and endured it.
Because he knew the rules of survival in the Soul Desolate Continent, he didn't have any unpleasant views on the high-profile major families of Su Ri, as well as those young masters who were bullying and arrogant.
Just as he pays the same amount of commission to the three major families at the same time every year, in the Broken Rock Desert Village, he has always been neutral towards the major families, neither hateful nor vassal.
On the contrary, because he was also a member of the Broken Rock Desert Village, he wanted to help Li Tu.
But maybe thinking of his identity, Jia Ren couldn't help but say nothing after all.
And at this moment, when Jia Ren entered the "Wind Chasing Pavilion" again with the warm wine that had been prepared, he happened to see Meng Qingfeng and the others standing up one after another.
His expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and Jia Ren said with a smile:
"Guys, this is ......"
Meng Qingfeng had a signature smile on his face, his expression showed a faint satisfaction, he waved his hand casually, and said slowly as he walked out:
"I didn't expect to be able to eat such delicious wine and meat in such a poor rural area, which is good. ”
When Jia Ren heard this, he was immediately flattered, and said modestly:
"Meng Shao, you really won the award, it's just some ordinary wine and food, it's good to be able to get into your mouth. ”
Behind Meng Qingfeng, Xu Zhu quickly followed, and while taking out a few gold coins from his arms and throwing them into the wine tray held by Jia Ren in both hands, he said with a smile:
"Xu is young master has been sleeping in the open for too long, and his mouth has already been a little light, and at this time, he occasionally has wine and meat, which makes him feel delicious. ”
Meng Qingfeng nodded lightly and said:
"Having said that, this fresh soul beast meat does taste much better, even if it is only the lowest-grade one-shadow soul beast meat, there is very little soul power in it, but with the taste of the meat alone, it is far better than those high-grade soul beast meat that has been placed for a long time in Qingcheng!"
Xu Chu nodded again and again, and echoed:
"That's that, that's. ”
"Phew, a hypocrite, a sycophant!"
After Xu came out, Di Le'er glared fiercely at Mu Ze and the others, who obviously wouldn't leave if they didn't leave, snorted coldly, stood up reluctantly, and said without hesitation as they walked out.
And her words were immediately agreed by the two Mu Ze behind her, of course, only the second half was agreed.
When Jia Renruo heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised again, but at this time he was also busy patting his ass:
"Meng Shao, what do you mean by this? You can eat in the small shop, it is an honor to look up to me Jia someone, it is the honor of the small shop, if you are like this, you will look down on me Jia someone, look down on me this drunken abyss building!"
Jia Ren bowed slightly, followed Meng Qingfeng's side, held the wine holder in both hands, and looked at the latter with a serious expression, with a very strong look, "If you don't take back the money, I will be inseparable from you".
Meng Qingfeng held his head high and looked ahead, without looking at Jia Ren, waved his hand casually, and said lazily:
"Ben Shao is not that kind of person. ”
As the words in his mouth slowly landed, Meng Qingfeng also slowly walked to the door, at this time, Xu Zhu's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly took the first step, reaching out to open the door curtain, so the former did not stop, and finally stepped out of the "Wind Chasing Pavilion".
And at the moment when Meng Qingfeng stepped out of the "Wind Chasing Pavilion", Li Tu at the door suddenly perked up, hurriedly bent down and saluted, and said respectfully:
"Meng Shao. ”
Meng Qingfeng had long known that Li Tu had been guarding the door, and he knew very well in his heart that the latter must have been afraid that he would retaliate afterwards and do something to his Li family, so he simply stayed at the door and waited for himself to apologize to himself and ask for forgiveness.
So, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, as if he didn't see Li Tu's existence at all, not only did he ignore the latter's greeting, but he didn't even look at the latter, but stretched his waist, looked at the bustling diners downstairs condescendingly, and said softly:
"Shopkeeper Jia, what's so strange about your drunken abyss building, which can attract so many diners?"
While speaking, Meng Qingfeng turned his eyes, quickly looked around, and added softly to himself:
"It doesn't look like anything special. ”
Jia Ren was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't care about the few dollars in the wine saucer, his eyes rolled rapidly, and he secretly thought in his heart, hesitating to tell the truth.
But in just one breath, he made a decision, after all, this matter is not a secret in the Broken Rock Desert Village, even if he doesn't say it, Meng Qingfeng will learn about it through the mouths of others sooner or later, so it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, there is really nothing to hesitate about.
Moreover, it is much better to tell the truth by yourself than to let Meng Qingfeng know from others.
Thinking of this, Jia Ren smiled and explained:
"Hehe, Meng Shao doesn't know, there is really nothing strange in this small shop......
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and gently glanced at the overcrowded downstairs, and then continued without ostentation:
"But while the little shop isn't peculiar, the diners are flocking to it, thanks to the curtain behind you. ”
"Oh?"
After listening to Jia Ren's words, Meng Qingfeng raised the corners of his eyebrows, his eyes also lit up slightly, turned around, looked up and down the door curtain with great interest, especially the calligraphy and paintings carved on it, and said slowly:
"I remember that Shopkeeper Jia seemed to have said before that this curtain is just an ordinary bamboo curtain, and the calligraphy and paintings on it are not from the hands of celebrities, right?"
Even Di Le'er, who had been sulking secretly with her lips, couldn't help but purse her lips slightly after listening to Jia Ren's words, and her beautiful eyes turned to look at the door curtain.
Xu Chu and the others couldn't help but look at the curtain.
As a result, everyone's attention was instantly attracted by the door curtain, and Li Tu had no choice but to bend down and stand there obediently, not daring to make the slightest move.
Jia Ren glanced at Li Tu without leaving a trace, and there was a faint hint of unbearability in his eyes, but he finally gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.
Then, a frightened and uneasy look suddenly appeared on his face, as if he was afraid of causing some misunderstanding, and said in a somewhat anxious tone:
"I have said this in the following, and everything I have said in the following is true, but ...... Meng Shao's words are ...... There seems to be a misunderstanding. ”
"Oh, misunderstanding, what misunderstanding? Since the door curtain is an ordinary bamboo curtain, and the calligraphy and paintings carved on it are not the hands of celebrities, what is so peculiar about this door curtain that can attract many diners?"
Meng Qingfeng's eyes were still looking at the door curtain, and he still had a faint smile on his face, and said slowly.
Jia Ren grinned, his face full of flattery, and quickly explained:
"What is said below is not false, but it is relative!"
Meng Qingfeng was slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at him.
At this time, Jia Ren suddenly took out a hand from the wine saucer, pointed to the three big characters of "Chasing Wind Pavilion" on the door curtain, and said with a smug smile:
"Meng Shao, please see, everyone, please see. ”
Everyone subconsciously moved their gaze, and according to his guidance, they looked towards the three big characters of "Chasing Wind Pavilion".
"Nothing special, huh?"
Xu Chu was the most impatient, standing next to him and just glanced at it hurriedly, then frowned, and said with some confusion.
Jia Ren naturally didn't dare to sell Guan Zi in front of Meng Qingfeng and others, so he smiled and explained directly:
"These three words were personally carved by Master Gai, the only refiner in the Broken Rock Desert Village!"
"Alchemist?"
Meng Qingfeng's eyes lit up.
Even Di Leer was slightly surprised.
As we all know, there are two professions that are very rare in the Soul Desolation Continent, that is, refiner and alchemist, and because of their rarity, these two professions are also very sought-after, and they are often regarded as guests by big families and big forces!
Therefore, Meng Qingfeng and the others did not expect that in this remote place in the poor countryside, there would be a refiner!
This is so unexpected!
And for Meng Qingfeng, this is obviously an unexpected gain!
You must know that even his Meng family, as one of the top ten famous families in Qingcheng, is only one refiner!
"Alchemist...... If you can bring it back to the Meng family......"
Thinking secretly in his heart, the corners of Feng Yang's mouth couldn't help but slowly curl up.
"Humph!"
At this time, Di Le Er suddenly snorted coldly, and her pretty face, which was already ugly, instantly became more gloomy.
When Jia Ren said that the words "Wind Chasing Pavilion" were from the hand of a refiner, Di Le'er was slightly surprised, and then secretly said that it was not good, at this time, although Meng Qingfeng did not say a word, but the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, and he knew what he was thinking in his heart without asking!
After all, he is a refiner, and I believe that no one is willing to let it go easily.
Moreover, this is just a small deserted village, not to mention whether the refiner can resist the temptation of going to Qingcheng to enjoy the glory and wealth, even if he is unwilling to go, but if Meng Qingfeng insists on taking him away like he treats himself, then, as long as he threatens a little, the refiner can only compromise!
