Chapter 39: Jiang Daoming's Invitation
Song Xiao came to the place agreed with Jiang Daoming, only to find that this was a small restaurant hidden in the alley.
There are six or seven tables for four people outside, and three narrow private rooms inside.
In the room where Jiang Dao is determined, it is slightly crowded with six people.
The environment is OK, clean and warm.
Other than that, there's nothing peculiar.
Jiang Daoming was the only one in the room, and when he saw him come in, he got up enthusiastically and walked over to close the door.
The shop, which was already short of people, suddenly became quieter.
"Let's just do it today." Jiang Daoming skillfully opened a bottle wrapped in old cotton paper, and at first glance, there was a year of soy sauce wine.
When the lid is unscrewed, the rich aroma of wine wafts out, and when you pour it into the glass, you can clearly feel the hanging cup.
"Have a good drink, have a good chat!"
Song Xiao sniffed, looked at Jiang Daoming and said, "Uncle Jiang is really willing, this kind of wine is too extravagant to mix with new wine for one to ten, just drink it like this, it's too tyrannical, right?" ”
Jiang Daoming laughed: "Something that has been overhyped!" For many years, the wine is drunk, and it is not put there. With the right people, drink the right wine! ”
handed the full wine glass to Song Xiao: "As long as you don't think this place is bad!" ”
Song Xiao smiled: "Where can it be, how can the place chosen by Uncle Jiang be bad?" ”
Jiang Daoming sat down and said with some emotion: "This is an old shop, it has a history of several decades, the boss and chef are alone, passed down from father to son, and it seems to be the fifth generation!" ”
Song Xiao was in awe: "That's not easy!" ”
Jiang Daoming nodded: "It's not easy, in fact, this store is not short of money, but the boss can always keep his original intention and insist on being in charge of his own spoon, so the taste of this store has not changed much for decades."
Almost all of the people who know this are regular repeat customers.
Since I was a child, my father often brought me here to eat, and at that time I didn't have the cultivation of you, so I always shouted why I came to such a place.
At that time, this shop had not been renovated, and it was really a bit broken, but after eating it twice, I fell in love with it completely, and I once ran here to eat after skipping evening self-study......"
At this time, a young man knocked lightly on the door and brought the food in.
When people are at the door, the fragrance of the overflow comes to their nostrils.
Song Xiao's nose moved twice, and praised: "It's so fragrant!" ”
The young man smiled and put the dishes on the table, and said to Jiang Daoming: "Mr. Jiang, my father heard that you brought someone over, and said that he would give you a masterpiece later, but it is a coincidence, there has been no such ingredient for a long time." ”
Jiang Daoming's eyes lit up: "Hey, that's a good feeling, thank you dad for me, call him for a drink later, and tell him that I have brought ...... for more than forty years."
The young man swallowed: "Then my dad is happy!" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Song Xiao and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang usually never brings people here. ”
Jiang Daoming waved his hand: "As long as you talk a lot, I'll give you a cup later, I brought two bottles today!" ”
The young man suddenly bared his teeth: "Then I'm welcome, thank you Uncle Jiang!" ”
After a while, six dishes with all colors and flavors came up quickly.
Jiang Daoming picked up his wine glass: "Come, Xiao Song, let's go!" ”
Song Xiao also picked up the cup, touched it, and took a sip gently, the decades-old wine is mellow and sweet in the throat, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.
Praise: "Good wine!" ”
Jiang Daoming smiled: "Eat vegetables, eat while it's hot, and we'll talk later!" ”
"Okay, then I'm welcome, bear with it for a long time......"
"Haha, eat more."
Then the boss came in with his son, who was a waiter, and chatted with Jiang Daoming for a few words, and one of them rubbed a glass of wine and left happily.
It can be seen that Jiang Daoming is indeed very familiar with this store.
The owner of the small shop knew his identity, but he was not restrained, and Jiang Daoming had no scruple at all.
Drinking and eating dishes very casually, commenting while eating, and telling Song Xiao about the origin, materials, production process and techniques of each dish.
Like a gourmet.
It feels very comfortable.
After a glass of wine, Song Xiao took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle and poured it full for the two of them.
Jiang Daoming looked at Song Xiao with some emotion: "At the beginning, I really didn't expect you to be so good, otherwise I would have to ask Mr. Su to recommend you to me and enter the heavenly court...... It's boring! ”
Song Xiao smiled and said, "I actually don't know Mr. Su that well, and I'm used to being free and loose, so it's more suitable to stay in Heaven." ”
Jiang Daoming naturally didn't believe that Song Xiao was not familiar with Mr. Su.
Mr. Su is extremely stable, and he will definitely not rashly recommend someone he is not familiar with to him to protect his daughter.
Especially a young and handsome young man.
He smiled: "Heavenly Court is actually quite good," and then changed the conversation, "By the way, Xiao Song, we recently discovered an ancient tomb, according to various information, it should be the tomb of a great monk.
No other forces have been informed of this yet, are you interested in exploring it together?
Whoever discovers the things inside belongs to whom, and the practice exercises can be shared. ”
Thinking of Lao Wan's repeated admonitions, coupled with the fact that he had made a lot of money recently, and he did not lack cultivation resources, he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Jiang Daoming looked at him and said, "Don't be busy refusing yet, I'll tell you a story......
Song Xiao was slightly stunned, took a sip of the wine glass, and said, "Listen up." ”
Jiang Daoming put down the wine glass, his eyes showed a look of memory, and said, "Our family probably started more than a hundred years ago.
The ancestor of the family was a cultivator, and you also knew something about that era, the country was weak, the people were not able to make a living, and the foreign powers were frantically knocking on our door.
Our family could only be regarded as an ordinary landlord family at that time, and although our ancestors practiced, their realm was not very high.
But bold!
Once, with a few brothers, he robbed a cart of gold and silver earned by selling opium in the Sunset Empire......"
Jiang Daoming said frankly that the original accumulation stage of the Jiang family was indeed not so clean.
But the old ancestor has left an ancestral precept since that time - no matter when and where, you must remember your origin and bloodline, no matter where you are, you must not betray your race, and you must not attack your compatriots.
Jiang Daoming looked at Song Xiao and said frankly: "To be honest, I am not very noble, in the early years, when I developed and strengthened the family, I also did things that harmed others and benefited myself.
However, he always kept in mind the ancestral teachings and never did anything harmful to the country and race.
The traps are all those external forces with bad intentions.
So over the years, the Jiang family has had many enemies, but almost all of them are outside.
Of course, there are inside, but those people ......"
Jiang Daoming showed a sneer on his face: "It's just a puppet raised by those demons and monsters, it's not worth mentioning."
It's just that once the chaebol thing is formed, it is a man-eating monster.
Any chaebol, an ancient force, wants to survive forever.
The big guy looks forward to immortality, and the children of the family want to become better and stronger.
In this way, it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be uneven internally, and it will also have to trade and cooperate with various forces.
So you say the chaebol is good?
Not necessarily good.
But to say that the chaebols are all bad people is also biased. ”
He looked at Song Xiao and said with a serious face: "At least I don't have bad thoughts about you Xiao Song no matter what." You saved Ying'er's life, and you are a noble person on her cultivation path, so don't worry, I won't trick you or harm you at any time. ”
Song Xiao smiled: "If it weren't for the recognition of Uncle Jiang, I wouldn't have come today." ”
Jiang Daoming smiled, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Xiao Song, what do you think of Ying'er?" ”
Song Xiao was slightly stunned, and then said, "Very good!" With a talent like hers, the future is limitless! ”
Jiang Daoming is also a smart person, seeing Song Xiao's reaction, he secretly sighed in his heart, a little disappointed.
Before, it was purely to protect my daughter, and I didn't think about anything else.
But after seeing Song Xiao's ability and having a certain understanding of character, he and his wife had some other thoughts.
Young, handsome and capable, his personality is calm and down-to-earth enough, and there is a big guy like Mr. Su behind him.
Especially his own daughter doesn't seem to be disgusted with this young senior.
If he could really make a couple, he would be happy to see it.
It's a pity that after a brief trial, I found that Song Xiao didn't mean that.
The Jiang family is not a bad family, and the daughter grew up like a pearl in the palm of her hand.
There's no way he's going to force it out.
If Song Xiaozhen wants to show his intentions, he will actually be reluctant.
's own little padded jacket, whoever wears it feels a loss.
Seeing that Song Xiao had no intention, Jiang Daoming diverted the topic without revealing a trace.
reminded Song Xiaodao: "The Dong family has a deep background and has close contacts with many forces, if you really have any conflicts with them, I can help mediate in the middle." ”
Song Xiao thought for a while and said, "On the day I first joined Heavenly Court, the third-level demon in the north of the city was not killed by Wang Peng, but by me, and later I learned that it was raised by the Dong family. ”
Jiang Daoming showed a clear expression: "No wonder, I still wonder, Wang Peng shouldn't have such a strong combat power, if it's you, then it's not strange." ”
Song Xiao said: "Except for this matter, I don't have any contradictions with the Dong family, so I don't know what they want to reconcile with me?" ”
Jiang Daoming said: "The Dong family has suffered a heavy blow recently, and a large number of demon clans have been wiped out overnight...... Of course, this is only the surface, and the circle almost knows it.
But there is also a grapevine that the Dong family found a message in the place where those demons were killed. ”
Song Xiao was stunned.
Jiang Daoming said: "That says - Heavenly Court is not something you want to provoke, you can provoke if you want to provoke!" ”
Song Xiao was speechless, Brother Kun ...... Forget it, Xiao Nima, this second goods, Nima, you will do it, leave your sister's words?
Where did you learn all this bad fault?
No wonder the Dong family decided that it had something to do with him.
The person who can have a grudge against them in Heavenly Court is Wang Peng.
And Brother Wang...... I'm afraid that it was not taken into account by the Dong family at all.
After his battle with the aliens in Nanjiang County, the Dong family was afraid that he had completely determined that he had killed the third-level demon.
Now that the demon has been killed, the second little milk kun has left a message of warning.
It's just yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, it's not and.
If Jiang Daoming hadn't told the real inside story, Song Xiao would never have imagined that the reason would be here.
He said helplessly: "This is definitely a malicious framing by someone, not to mention that our Deputy Director Zhang has a lot of friends with many people in the Dong family, I have also met and drunk wine with Mr. Dong, and have traded happily, how can I do such a thing?" ”
"What good will it do me to hack down a group of demons from his family?"
"Besides, even if I want to do it, I have to have the ability to do it......"
Jiang Daoming didn't believe much in this last sentence.
But he also felt that Song Xiao was quite wronged, he didn't have such a strong motive, and he had a full alibi.
I don't know why the Dong family seems to have decided that this matter is related to Song Xiao.
And what made him a little puzzled the most was that the Dong family actually took the initiative to bow their heads!
Seriously, it's not quite like their way of doing things.
Of course, it is also possible that I was really scared of being tossed.
I can't mess with Mr. Su.
Anyway, in this matter, Song Xiao should have taken the initiative.
In addition, he also heard that there was something wrong with Heavenly Court a while ago, and Zhang Mingfeng seemed to want to seize power.
Burn incense and please God!
As a result, for some reason, he died halfway.
I don't know if this matter is also related to the aggrieved young man in front of him.
If it's really related, then where is Song Xiao...... But it's kind of scary.
Thinking in his heart, Jiang Daoming once again sincerely invited Song Xiao to join the team exploring the tomb.
"Shadow has now successfully built the foundation, and she will follow with her when the time comes."
These words are almost equivalent to making it clear to Song Xiao - I don't have anything else in mind, otherwise it would be impossible for my daughter to follow.
Speaking of which, it's really hard to refuse.
Song Xiao nodded and agreed.
The relationship with the Jiang family has always been good, but there has been no deeper contact, through this observation, if there is no problem, some of the property in his hands can also be slowly realized through them in the future.
Make money to buy cultivation resources!
The two finally drank two bottles of old wine and parted happily.
Song Xiao didn't go home either, and planned to go to the courtyard house in Luogu Lane to see Mr. Su.
Childe Fusu...... It's pretty amazing!
I'm actually with the eldest son of the First Emperor of the Ages...... How much more do you have to do it?
Song Xiao pondered as she walked.
The ritual utensils given to me are the objects used by the tea saints, and the jars that I refined myself can attract the little milk kun.
Senior Brother Scarecrow is incomparably stronger, and even the divine thoughts of the heavenly court descending on the earth dare to be destroyed.
What about my old man...... Who exactly?
Two Jinshi?
Song Xiao shook her head.
It can't be a big guy who opened a trumpet in the world, right?
