In the city of songs, there is a lot of traffic, people come and go, the surrounding area is filled with the shouts of vendors, and the smell of snacks from street stalls wafts in the air, and the strong and tempting smell stimulates the people on the street to swallow desperately.

Xia Yi dressed up a little on his face to cover his handsome face, and walked in the most prosperous East Market of Chaoge City in a simple civilian dress, which is the most prosperous area for business and trading in Chaoge City, with adjacent shops and merchants, among which the area of wine shops and restaurants is the most lively.

People, no matter how powerful they are, they can't escape the four words "food, clothing, housing and transportation", among them, the word "food" is the most down-to-earth, and it is easy for princes, nobles and ordinary people to accept, so it is also the most prosperous area.

Xia Yi casually tossed a candied fruit, and the candied fruit seemed to have eyes, and it fell into Xia Yi's mouth accurately.

The mouth is full of glutinous fragrance, sticky teeth and chewy, but the sweetness is a little too strong, and the taste is a little greasy after chewing.

Xia Yi chewed slowly, all the way towards the famous "Xiangmanlou" in Dongshi.

"Xiangmanlou" is not the most luxurious restaurant in the East City, nor is it the most famous restaurant in Chaoge City, but it is the most favorite restaurant for the people of Chaoge City.

There is no other reason, but the word "affordable" is enough to explain.

Xia Yi looked up at the carved plaque painted with green paint, and couldn't help muttering: "This aesthetic is too unique, isn't it that this is the most down-to-earth restaurant?"

At this time, it was close to lunch time, and the "Xiangmanlou" was full of diners, Xia Yi stood at the door and heard the guy say hello twice, but he didn't come to receive him for half a day.

After a while, the shopkeeper came to Xia Yi with a white towel on his shoulder, hunched over and trotted all the way to Xia Yi.

"I'm sorry, uncle, there are too many people, I really can't greet them. The shopkeeper apologized with a sneer on his face, and stretched out his hand to lead Xia Yi inside.

"Your shopkeeper is too black-hearted, just to save money, you can save several daughters-in-law in a year, right?" Xia Yi was wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and his tone of voice was also close to the edge of ordinary people.

The last thing that the shop guys are afraid of is that customers joke, they can pick up stubble, be good at self-deprecation, and can help them solve a lot of troubles, which is their ability to survive.

"Hey, who says it's not, the business in the store is so good, it's full almost every day of the year, but the boss is just too dark to hire more people, and he can't wait to split us in half as two people, and he can't wait to split us in half when we pay us for two months." The shopkeeper echoed Xia Yi familiarly, turned left and right, and wanted to take him to a clean place on the second floor.

This trick is very effective against customers who have a long waiting time.

"Hey, you don't have to go upstairs, just here. When Xia Yi passed by, a table of diners in the middle of the hall got up to pay the bill, and Xia Yi saw that the location was good, so he decided to sit here.

The shopkeeper looked at the mess of cups and plates on the table, and pretended to persuade boldly: "This uncle, let's go to the second floor, it's cleaner there, and it's cleaner than here." ”

Xia Yi waved his hand and stood at the table and looked around.

This was the center of the hall, and he could hear voices coming from all directions, and it would be good to ask for more news while he waited for his chance. If he was a fourth-grade martial artist, sitting on the second floor would not delay him from listening to the eight directions to collect intelligence, but unfortunately he is only a second-grade martial artist now, and there is still a gap in strength.

Seeing that Xia Yi insisted on sitting here, it wasn't like a joke, he arranged it very obediently. The more clean spaces were left on the second floor, the better his job would be, and he wished that all the guests would be as easy to fool as Xia Yi.

Xia Yiwan refused the menu recommended by the shop guy today, but ordered two dishes of interest at random, and sent the shop guy away.

Hmph! When I don't know that your so-called "today's recommendation" is the leftover ingredients from yesterday, and today's recommendation is all yesterday's leftovers, and you come to fool me, do I look like a fool?

Xia Yi poured himself a glass of sake and drank it alone, seemingly concentrating on the snacks in front of him, but in fact, his ears were open, and he was collecting the news and gossip of the people around him.

When Xia Yi's meal was about to end, it was also the best time for business in the restaurant.

"Master Qin, you are here!" The slightly passionate voice of the shopkeeper spread on the first floor, and the excited voice was as if he had seen his own father.

Even if the people around are used to seeing the situation in front of them, they still can't help but look sideways, this guy in this store is really too ear-pulling.

Xia Yi put down his chopsticks, raised his wine glass and drank the wine in the glass, took the opportunity to look up, and looked sideways at the door of the restaurant, sure enough, it was the guy he was waiting for.

Qin Yan, the dwarf who grew into crooked melons and cracked dates is here.

The eldest son of Qin Song, the right minister, looks "shocking", and the people of the entire Great Shang Dynasty know it, for this reason, the people of the Great Shang Dynasty often say in private that Qin Song has done too many bad things, so he will give birth to such an ugly son, which is retribution.

Putting this matter aside, there is one more thing that the people of Chaoge City only knew, that is, Qin Yan didn't like to go to the high-end and expensive "Qingding Building" to eat, but liked to come to the "Xiangmanlou", a very down-to-earth restaurant to eat.

For this reason, the princes and nobles in Chaoge City ridiculed Qin Yan behind his back, saying that his taste was the same as his appearance, and he was so unsightly.

With the power of Qin Song, the right minister, it is not difficult to know these rumors, but Qin Yan still hasn't changed, he still likes to come to this "Xiangmanlou" to eat, and he doesn't seem to care about the rumors behind them.

And this has created a convenient opportunity for Xia Yi.

If Qin Yan liked to go to the "Qingding Tower", then Xia Yi had to revise his plan and find an opportunity to teach the "shocking" eldest son of Youxiang a lesson from elsewhere.

Qin Yan walked through the first floor of the hotel with a posture of no one else, Xia Yi secretly observed Qin Yan's distance, got up and pretended to go to the checkout, and walked in the direction of Qin Yan, ready to pass by him.

One step, two steps......

Xia Yi just took two steps, and suddenly found that there was an accident, a short and thin old man with an obscene appearance suddenly appeared between Xia Yi and Qin Yan, holding the goatee on his chin with his right hand, pretending to be calm and relaxed.

"Qin Gongzi, I look at your ......"

Xia Yi looked at this old man who seemed to be familiar, listened to the quite familiar opening remarks, and immediately recognized this 'goatee' as a fortune-telling old man who had "calculated a hexagram" for himself and said that he had a bloody disaster.

"Get out!" Qin Yan's guards saw the obscene old man and unceremoniously scolded him to get out of the way.

The fortune-telling old man stepped aside in embarrassment and made way for the young master Qin.

Qin Yan didn't speak, but when he passed by the fortune teller, he turned his head to look at him curiously.

This turn of the head was to expose his back in front of Xia Yi, who was on the other side.

Xia Yi raised his hand, clenched his fists to cover his mouth, pretended to cough, and passed behind Qin Yan's back.
