The next afternoon, the guys in the drunken fairy building took turns to have lunch. Xiao Er drank a few sips of the big bowl of tea prepared by the guys in the restaurant, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, took the long towel of the hall and returned to the front hall to prepare for work.

As soon as he stepped in, the steward in the front hall pulled him over and said, "Xiao Er, there was a big man in the box of Tianzi No. 2 just now, you go and wait, don't slack off!"

The young man smiled knowingly, and whispered in his ear: "Brother, I heard that there are a few fresh styles of sheepskin boots in the Wanbu Fang diagonally opposite our restaurant, you must like it, and you will tell me the size after I finish serving the guests in a while." On weekdays, thanks to your care, let my brother talk about it. ”

When the steward heard this, he said softly, "You clever ghost, go quickly." ”

The young man hurriedly made tea, straightened the towel on his shoulder, and walked to the second floor. Knocking on the door and pushing it gently, I saw a spacious private room, and only a middle-aged man with a green beard and three wisps sat in the middle of the ten-person round table.

Although the middle-aged man is sitting, it can also be seen that the man is tall, only slightly thinner. Look at the dress again, wearing a crown inlaid with jade, a dark brocade dress with rusty auspicious clouds, and a string of bright red coral bracelets in the palm of the fingertips keep turning.

Xiao Er stepped forward to set up the teapot, poured a bowl, put his hands in front of him, and said with a smile on his face: "The guest officer has been waiting for a long time, first taste the tea leaves produced in our tea garden in the building to quench your thirst." ”

The middle-aged man with a smile picked up the tea bowl with the lid of the bowl, gently brushed it a few times, drank two sips, and chewed a few tea leaves floating in the bowl and said: "Everyone in the world knows that you have 'Dengxian' wine in the Zuixian Building, and the tea leaves from the hundreds of ancient tea trees in Qiyun Mountain are even more wonderful. ”

After speaking, he put the remaining tea bowl on the table, and helped the green beard under his forehead.

Seeing this, Xiao Er poured a full teacup and said with a smile: "The guest officer is really an expert, and there are very few people who can know about this ancient tree tea." ”

"Guest officer, do you have anyone else with you?"

The old man smiled lightly and said, "No, it's just me." ”

Xiao Er thought that the old man was waiting for someone, otherwise how could he ask for a good private room in this building, but after hearing this, he felt strange in his heart, it was very important for one person to eat with such a big pomp, and then look at his clothes.

I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, thinking about the powerful and wealthy gentry who have come into contact with me for more than half a year, there are countless literati and scholars, and all kinds of habits are even more unheard of.

Xiao Er thought about it and said, "What are you going to eat?" There is a master in charge of the spoon in our building recently, and the northern cuisine is the most authentic, and even the gentleman of the academy praised it two days ago. ”

The middle-aged man with a green beard put one hand on the table, and tapped his index finger lightly: "Little brother works in this restaurant, you should know what is the best to eat, just help me order a few according to your wishes?"

Xiao Er nodded and said, "Is there anything taboo about the guest officer?"

The old man shook his head.

Xiao Er thought for a moment and said: "Then I'll give the guest officer an order: crystal meat, Taijiang vinegar fish, crab roe fresh mushroom, flying dragon soup, okay for a two or two 'Dengxian'?"

When the old man heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, just follow what the little brother said, hurry up." ”

Xiao Er said: "Don't worry, I will help you urge." Then he turned and went out and commanded.

The hour is not big, and there are three dishes and one soup on the table, and a pot of wine. The middle-aged man picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the Taijiang vinegar fish, chewed it a few times and said: "This fish is really authentic, I guess your shopkeeper has put a lot of effort into it." ”

Xiao Er picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass and said: "The guest officer is really an expert, this chopstick knows, this fish was salvaged from the Taijiang River yesterday, put it in the water storage iron box prepared in advance, and sent it to the building this morning, just to let the guest officer you eat this authentic Taijiang fish." ”

After hearing this, the middle-aged man lightly pointed to the flying dragon soup in front of him, Xiao Er hurriedly put a bowl in front of him, and said: "This is also the flying dragon captured alive in the beast domain, this soup can be regarded as the signature of our restaurant, not only delicious, but also nourishing." ”

Raising his hand to take a sip of the soup in the bowl, the young man with the green beard commanded: "Well, yes, I'm adding a pair of chopsticks." ”

Xiao Er was a little surprised, but he had to do so, and took out a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks from the small cabinet behind the table and placed them neatly on the table.

I saw the old man pointing his finger and the young man smiled lightly: "Sit." ”

When the young man heard this, he was surprised: "Me?"

The middle-aged man picked up the wine glass and took a sip and said, "Well, it's you, it's boring to eat alone, if the little brother doesn't dislike it, eat with me." ”

When the young man saw that the old man was not playing with himself, the rules in the building were that all the guests' requests should be agreed to as long as they were not excessive. Then he said: "Then thank you to the guest officer, the kindness of the guest officer today can also taste the delicacies of this world." ”

Then he sat down beside the old man and ate with him. During the banquet, the old man asked questions about the dishes from time to time, and the second master Xiao also answered them one by one. The young man also picked some interesting things in the building to talk about, and the old man chuckled when he heard it.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man with a green beard put down the wine glass in his hand and said casually: "What does it feel like to pierce the throat with a gun and raise your hand to kill?"

The young man saw that he coaxed the old man very happy, after a while after eating, there will be no reward for indispensable, if you give more, you don't have to buy winter clothes from the shopkeeper She Yinliang, the small abacus in his heart is just right, suddenly heard this, and instantly stared at the old man with a shocked face.

The old man poured himself a cup and said, "Looking at the three of you and your sharp strength, it shouldn't be like the first time you killed someone, right?"

The boy blurted out "How do you know?", but he swallowed it back again, his head racing as he thought about how to respond. Put away the laughing expression, his face became cold, and he gently shook the sleeve of his right hand and said in a deep voice: "What do you feel?"

"It's like I usually kill chickens and fish, it's more of a hearty. ”

"Doesn't it look like the first killing?"

"There are more than a dozen pits behind the temple, and there are those that don't have long eyes. ”

When the old man heard this, he suddenly felt interesting and asked, "Hearty?"

The young man did not answer, and stood up and walked towards the middle-aged young man.

As if he hadn't seen the change in the young man, the old man was still drinking and eating, and the three-foot boy in front of him stopped.

The old man took a sip of wine in the cup and smiled: "This should be the best distance for you to feel the assassination, take out the cuff and let me see what it is?"

The young man stared at the old man, not only did he not appear strange because his thoughts were recognized. Instead, with a frank right hand, an abnormally sharp dagger with a length of three inches and a short front and two inches was sharpened appeared in the young man's palm.

Seeing this, the old man smiled and said, "It's a spear again, it's a dagger again, boy, you..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, the young man stabbed the old man's throat like lightning.

The latter raised his hand slightly, and the chopsticks instantly caught the dagger half a foot away from his throat.

The young man's eyes were gloomy, and he lowered his head with a disappointed expression and said, "Now that you know, whether you want to send it to the official or what, just let it be." After speaking, it was like a flying dragon in the back stove, waiting to be slaughtered.

The middle-aged man with the cold light and glittering dagger looked at it, and then put it in his mouth and bit his teeth, biting them off in response, chewing them in his mouth for a while, and then spit them on the ground and said: "It's not delicious, it's all pig iron, you..."

The young man looked down at the ground, looking like he was waiting for death, but his left arm was instantly raised, more than twice as fast as the shot just now, and before the old man finished speaking, the dagger went into his throat.
