702, finale
"What's delicious today?"
The aristocratic girl of the town walked into the restaurant, she was like a haughty white swan, her pickiness of taste made it difficult for her to swallow most of the food, and the only thing that satisfied her in this town was this small shop that had not been open for a long time.
When she first came, she just liked the style of the shop, but after eating it once, she couldn't leave it again, just like every picky little girl, she longed to live here every day.
Outside, huge steam airships were billowing white smoke across the sky, and the whole town was in a hurry as the sun set, and it was just the most ordinary day.
And this is also the last day before the summer solstice, and from tomorrow it will really become summer.
"Here's today's menu."
Brother Zhang has already changed into work clothes that match this era, and there are only three people in the small restaurant, but it is the highest quality restaurant in the town, but the price is too close to the people. Moreover, there is no threshold in this place, and both beggars and kings can enter and exit at will, provided that they do not make trouble here.
However, no one is making trouble here, as the King of the Sea has already issued a protective order for the small shop, on the grounds that the King of the Sea likes to eat the delicious fish balls that only appear on the menu every Thursday.
No one dares to provoke the king of the endless sea, so naturally no one dares to provoke the owner of the small shop.
There was no name in the store before, just like when I was in Chang'an Lane, but then I said that I wanted to register, and I had to let him get a name, so he was one, Miss Jin was one, and Rhubarb was one, a total of three people held a meeting to discuss the whole night before finally taking out the name.
The name of the store is "a small restaurant with a different menu every day", and it can be seen from this that Brother Zhang is actually not so versatile, and he is really useless in choosing a name.
But not to mention, because the name is so interesting, it has piqued the interest of many people who never eat out before, because they have never seen a menu that is not the same every day.
"I've never seen it, but I want this, this, and this."
The aristocratic girl is very picky and very good at eating, today happens to be Thursday, it is a feast of the sea, today's main dishes are cold octopus feet, braised octopus feet and mustard octopus feet, others include fish meatballs, crabs and various fish and shrimp.
However, the best-selling thing is octopus feet, and the emperor of the sea loves fish balls the most. And this aristocratic girl ordered the best-selling mustard octopus, the favorite fish ball soup of the emperor of the sea and the most expensive feast on land and sea.
After ordering the meal, she sat in an empty seat and waited, in the process of waiting, she would naturally look around, and in the process of looking, she found a lot of strange people, and one of them she looked more and more familiar, as if it was the third prince of the empire, she once looked at it from a distance at a drinking party, and sitting opposite the third prince was the princess of the neighboring country who was declared missing a few days ago.
Because the two countries were at war, and now the heirs of the two hostile countries actually appeared in the same place at the same time, and behaved intimately, the young lady immediately seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and began to stare at that position, and couldn't take her eyes off the big gossip in front of her, and even the food seemed to taste like chewing wax when it was eaten in her mouth.
And at the table next to her, the emperor of the Sea Clan was feasting on his favorite fish ball, as the highest combat power in this world, he didn't have to worry about safety at all, let alone carry any guards with him, he only needed to bring a mouth and enough money to enjoy his favorite food.
The small restaurant was still relatively quiet at this time, the jukebox was singing lyrical songs, and the temperature outside was just right in the late spring evening, Brother Zhang sat at the counter in a daze after serving the last dish, which was his favorite thing to do, although he no longer had to rely on a daze to digest his desire to express himself, but the long-standing habit was difficult to change.
Miss Kim is handling the coffee beans next to her, gentle and patient, her beauty has become famous in this town, even the bard will take the initiative to compose poems for her, and countless young people have come here for a while.
It's not that there are no beautiful girls in this world, but there are really few in this town, it is said that once when the kingdom was still allowed to work hard, people often went to the West to transport those young slaves back to sell, and the town was an important distribution center at that time, and you can often see beautiful girls like fairies being sold as slaves.
Later, the warriors overthrew the previous king, the slave trade was abolished, and the town became deserted and lonely from that bustling town, and in the blink of an eye, it has been nearly forty years, and no particularly beautiful girls have appeared in this small place.
And the proprietress of this small shop has become one of the only two who have settled here over the years and are very beautiful. The other one is the kanban lady of this store, she is also super good-looking!
Maybe they didn't realize how many years these two had spent editing and evolving their appearance, but it didn't matter, it was a blessing to be loved, wasn't it.
There is also the owner of this shop, and everyone has a consensus, that is, the character of this boss is really good, and there are not no bullies in the town, but even the bullies who like to bully people the most can't find the slightest fault here, and they can't even find an entry point if they want to play on the topic.
And everyone found that this boss does not seem to make money from this small restaurant, he is always very generous, whenever there is a major festival, he will always invite the whole town to spend the festival for free, and usually those banquet ingredients are not at all a small restaurant owner can afford, but he does not have the slightest distressed expression, and even takes out a pot of wine that can be sold for one or even ten gold coins in a big city.
Even if there is no festival, he usually distributes the ingredients and food that are not sold out every day to the local poor, not the kind that people eat leftovers, but exquisite food in the real sense, he never treats people like stray dogs like those nobles, and the food he distributes to each poor person will have exquisite packaging and simple tableware.
Even today, when the price of sugar is so high, he still serves those sweet drinks for free, and anyone can come and pick them up, but if someone is too greedy, naturally someone will come to trouble the greedy.
Everyone in the town speculated that he might be the prince of a certain country who ran away because of love, and some suspected that he was once a heinous demon king, and this time he came to a small place just to live a peaceful life.
But he didn't care about these speculations, and he still did these seemingly meaningless things every day.
It was August soon, and something happened on this day that made the townspeople very angry, that is, a caravan passing by spread the news of the beautiful proprietress of the small restaurant, and attracted the evil lord of the upper city, and he immediately launched an offensive against the proprietor, and finally even tried to expropriate the small restaurant by similar means.
The small restaurant was sealed, but it reopened in less than three days, it is said that it was Thursday, the emperor of the sea tribe did not eat when he came to eat as usual, when he learned of this situation, he was very angry and asked the lord to give an explanation, otherwise a war would be started, this matter directly alarmed the imperial family of the empire, and finally the noble lord was deposed, and everything returned to normal.
And this matter has no impact on Brother Zhang, he even hopes to seal it for a few more days, because he plans to take the proprietress and Kanban Niang out for a trip, because he heard that there is a crab plague in the south, and the crabs there can grow to the weight of two adults, and he is very curious about the taste of those crabs.
However, his wish was not fulfilled, and the Emperor of the Sea Clan directly caught three of them for him after hearing about it, and after seeing the crab, he found that the rumors were wrong, because this crab was not as heavy as two adults at all, but five.
A crab can reach seven or eight hundred catties, and the meat is fat, and there are almost no shortcomings except for the hard shell.
So he spent three days dismantling more than 2,000 catties of crabs and made a crab feast to reward the neighbors in the town.
On that day, the town was like a national day, and people gathered together to drink wine, sing and dance, and never get drunk.
"Is this your retirement?"
Sitting by the campfire, Miss Jin's face was flushed by the firelight, and she held her cheeks to look at Brother Zhang, who was holding a drawing board and creating oil paintings for the crowd of people.
"Isn't it good?" Brother Zhang glanced sideways at her: "Do you expect me to suddenly become a rapper?" ”
Miss Jin couldn't stop laughing, but after a long time, she suddenly said, "I suddenly understand why you can easily leave your old life behind and come to a strange place." ”
"What do you see?"
"Because you know that they can live well without you, and you also know that you can live better if you have this place. You are like the old gods who feed on negative emotions, except that you prefer to enjoy positive emotions, high emotions can make you happy. So you are trying to find a way to make the people around you happy. ”
Brother Zhang didn't answer, but just highlighted the picture with the last stroke in his hand.
In a trance, the world in the painting gradually merges with the real world, which is fascinating to watch.
"Alright." Brother Zhang raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, and then looked back, and said softly: "My story ends here, it may not be exciting enough, but it ends here." ”
"Who are you talking to?" Miss Jin looked around left and right: "Don't be so scary all of a sudden." ”
Brother Zhang dragged his chin and looked at his paintings: "Those people I have already met or will meet soon." ”
