Chapter 175: Tavern (1)

There are not many other entertainment programs in the winter season, and the affairs in the mercenary group have basically stopped, and most people like to gather to drink and have fun in this cold winter.

In Oak Town, the liveliest place is probably the town's large and small pubs. Greet friends in pairs, listen to stories that boast to each other, and drink warm wine, so unhappy.

Simon, Meloti, Vic and Moore, and the four of them came to the door of a tavern with a simple name, the same name as the town, called the Oak Tavern.

Next to the Oak Town Centre Market is the largest and liveliest pub in the whole of Oak Town.

The whole tavern is also made of oak planks, and it looks relatively wide from the outside, but after Simon and Meloti entered, they found that the space of the tavern was even more spacious, with oak tables and oak chairs, but they were smoothed out without lacquer, and there were obvious lines of wood on them.

On the surrounding walls, there are two complete rows of reindeer heads and three wolf heads, which are even more ornamental decorations in the tavern.

Simon estimated that there were about two dozen tables inside, most of which were full.

The tavern was noisy and loud enough to lift the roof, and everyone cheered and indulged in alcohol, trying to forget the hardships of life and hunting for the year.

The smell of alcohol permeated the tavern, and among the drinkers, there were always one or two people who were overwhelmed, and soon collapsed with red faces, muttering muttered incophany of wine.

"Man, give us some wine. ”

In the noisy crowd, such shouts were heard frequently, and soon men in linen clothes were seen hurrying out of the backstage, offering wine bottles with courtesy.

"Haha, this is the tavern lively, are you used to this kind of place?" Simon laughed.

"When it comes to drinking, I think I'll have a hard time finding opponents. Meloti laughed.

"I don't believe it. Simon shook his head, how could such a little girl have a lot of alcohol.

"Then try it. "Meloti doesn't care.

Simon and Meloti found a table in the corner and sat down, and soon the hotel man came to the table and asked, "What do you want to drink and eat?" ”

"What do you have here?" asked Simon.

"There is fresh ale, we are divided into cans, snacks have shortbread, and beef, and our specialty is the special wind reindeer meat prepared with special marinade, but this one is a little more expensive, a silver coin a catty. The guy said fluently.

"Money is not a problem, two shortbreads, one pound each of beef and reindeer meat, and two jars of ale. Simon said.

"Okay, wait a minute. The guy agreed, and ran quickly backstage.

"You eat so much, I'm afraid it won't hurt you. Meloti said.

"I'm not afraid, I'm afraid I won't eat enough. Simon said.

After a while, the guy brought the wine and meat, the single round of sales is average, Simon ate a piece of beef and felt that the taste was OK, after eating a piece of reindeer meat made of special marinade, the taste was long and soft, it was indeed very good, compared to his own hunting in the forest after simply stewing how many times more delicious.

Simon gave a thumbs up to the guy: "The reindeer meat is really well cooked. ”

Hearing this, the guy couldn't help but say proudly: "This is a signature dish, and all guests must order it." ”

As soon as the man's voice fell, Simon heard a loud noise coming from two adjacent tables not far away.

The voice was different from the normal loud voice, and anger could be heard in it.

Simon looked for the sound and saw that there seemed to be a quarrel between the two leading tables, and both sides were dressed as mercenaries, and no one obeyed the other, and the quarrel became louder and more intense.

Maybe it was the noise, maybe it was alcohol, maybe it was the agitation of the people around him, and one of them raised his fist and moved, and both sides suddenly exploded like igniting barrels of dynamite.

One side overturned the table, the other smashed the chair, and the two sides went back and forth, you punched and I kicked.

The people around looked at the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, so they made a fuss.

Simon looked at the guy and asked, "You guys are so busy in winter here?"

The guy smiled: "It's okay, it's the first time the guest has come, here, this is a common thing, but everyone has maintained restraint, no one will understand weapons, in this winter season, the mercenaries and witchers who have saved a lot of money on weekdays, except for drinking and chatting accidents, there is only a need to play and vent excess energy, just get used to it." ”

The battle was soon over, and the more crowded side won the victory, and then they were seen lifting all the men of the beaten side, throwing them out of the gate, and then returning to continue drinking.

"Who will pay for the damage. Simon asked.

"The winner compensates, which is the glory and face of the winner. The guy laughed.

"It's an interesting rule. Meloti laughed.

"Those broken chairs and tables are all in Oak Town, this thing is not worth a lot of money in Oak Town, just a dozen coppers, this money, the mercenaries will not care. The guy explained.

"Thank you, man, for this is a tip for you. Nalan Xingtian took out a few coppers and threw them to the guy.

When the guy received the money, his eyebrows and eyes widened, and he said, "If the guest has any other needs, just call me." ”

Then he bowed slightly, and beckoned the other guests to go.

"It's always been like this, we're used to it, and I think I was a regular visitor when I was younger. Vic said.

"The boss was also a frequent visitor here when he was younger? Moore laughed.

Vic shook his head, "Huh...... It's a shame to say this, I used to drink too much and get into fights, and it was always me who was beaten down and thrown out of the tavern. ”

"Haha......"

The crowd couldn't help but laugh.

Between chatting and drinking, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Simon was surprised to find that Meloti was really as he said, and the ale did not stop, and drank tens of thousands of yuan in a row, and her face was not half red and dizzy, and her eyes flowed, and her demeanor was free.

"Looks like you're really good at drinking. Simon said.

"Of course, I started drinking when I was six years old, and by the end of the day, there were very few people in the whole cat pie who could drink me. Meloti laughed.

Several people were talking and laughing, and the door of the hotel was suddenly opened.

Seven or eight heavily armed men walked in front and back, all dressed in neat leather armor and weapons such as swords, axes, and shields.

These people all have a reckless air of wind and dust, and their noisy shouting can be heard from afar.
