Outside the Half Moon Tower, there is a long river that winds straight into the sky.

The sound of the water is waves, and the white sails are far away.

Anchoring and going away are just a microcosm of the countless gatherings that are staged here every day.

On the second floor, by the window, the wine is near the river, the green mountains are colored up close, the river is silent in the distance, leaning on the building to listen to the wind and rain, you can take in the magnificent scenery of heaven and earth.

Half Moon Building, the name sounds very strange, since it is a restaurant, it is necessary to welcome guests to earn money, who would be stupid enough to open the restaurant for half a moon and close.

But don't think it's new, it's a name that's not false at all, and it's been famous for years.

There is a special kind of river fish here, the meat is extremely delicate, and the ice and snow melt in early spring, the river water is clear, and the air is fresh and natural, which is considered to be unique.

It's hard to tell when this fish was sought after, and with the ingredients and cooking methods prepared by the chef of Half Moon Tower, it has gradually become a favorite of diners from all over the world.

It's just that this delicacy is only salvaged when the tide rises in the first half of the month, and when the tide falls back in the second half of the month, it is impossible to find one, and it is also extremely magical.

However, in the course of the year, the tide rises and falls in this river, and it is not too early to have more, and it is not later to have less than one point.

Of course, the half-moon building is not only open for half a month in a month, but every second half of the month is less of this kind of fatty and fresh fish, and there are fewer of most of the guests who come for this.

That's why it's called the Half Moon Tower.

You must know that this half-moon building is famous in the Great Song Dynasty, it is said that there was a founding hero who passed by here on the way back to his hometown, sat alone in front of the window to taste the food, and couldn't help but praise it.

The boss is a generous and kind person, after several generations of business, to his hands has expanded a lot, but although he is rich and valuable, but not ashamed of the poor, Half Moon House has been prosperous since the opening of the door for several years, and there is no fault for the troublemaker, most of them are also related to this.

A large part of the guests of the Half Moon Building are boat passengers from the water, and these people go out to do business or take some knife point business, and they have always been generous.

Some guests are more mysterious, they don't do business, they don't sit in Jia, they just prefer the delicious food here, and the vast river view that can be overlooked outside the window, so they will come here every other year, taste a taste of life, and take a look at the wind and rain in front of the building.

The boss can see at a glance that these people are not ordinary people, so he is only responsible for arranging tea, wine and meals, and does not ask anything else, which is his principle.

For example, the two people sitting in the corner of the second floor have several empty wine jars, but at this time there is no intention to stop.

He didn't ask, he just asked Xiao Er to send it over again, and it couldn't be shoddy, which was another criterion he adhered to in half his life.

Ask less and talk less, as long as the customer is satisfied, he will earn money if the customer is satisfied.

Moreover, in this troubled world, the less you know, the longer you can probably live.

Thinking about the truth that had been summed up over the years, the boss smiled slightly, tried to maintain affinity, and then glanced at the two strange people slightly, and then turned his face away.

The two men looked strange, one of them was about sixty years old, with a gray beard, his hair combed into a bun, dressed as a Taoist priest, and carrying a package behind his back, which was supposed to be a square thing.

And the man sitting across from him was like a small black tower.

It's hard to say whether these two people got together because of old friends or some other reason, but the only thing that seems to be quite similar is that the two of them drink really well.

Needless to say, there is a fat fish on the table, a well-known drunken fairy chicken in the building, and there is nothing else, just two large wine bowls.

Others use wine glasses to drink, they use wine bowls, and finally drink to the happy place, and even directly pick up the wine jar and pour it directly into the throat.

What a kind of courage this is, there are not a few strange people and strange things that the boss has seen in half his life, but he can't help but sigh.

You Fang Taoist Kuzhu fished on the riverside to save Luobei who was drowning by the river, and then took him who had been drowsy and whispered all the way to the Half Moon Tower, in order to go to this "wine game".

At this time, Luo Bei had already settled in another room.

The black man on the other side of Kuzhu is much taller than ordinary people, and with a dark face, he looks like a country man who has been doing farm work for a long time.

Hei Hangang drank another big bowl of wine, and laughed: "Master Kuzhu, I have drunk thirty-two bowls, which is five bowls more than you......

Kuzhu put down the wine bowl, touched the belly that had been rounded, and said: "Although Lao Dao also loves this mouthful in his life, he only tastes wine more......

"My old man, is this considered unladylike?" Kuzhu's face remained unchanged at all, and he said with a smile.

Lei Zhan's eyes widened, and then he laughed "haha", as if he had heard something very ridiculous.

After laughing, he stared at the bitter bamboo with "bull's eyes", as if he wanted to find a flower from his wrinkled face.

"Hey, I said Bullnose ......"

Lei Zhan seemed to be accustomed to speaking loudly, and at this moment he drank a lot of wine and drank a lot of wine, and his dark face couldn't help but flush, which was mixed with the original skin color, and turned into a color similar to pork liver.

"I've seen someone take advantage of the opportunity to go back and laugh secretly, I haven't seen a Taoist like you who usually speaks nonsense, we know each other, you haven't drunk much less than me, I haven't seen you have a little bit of wanting to taste wine, it's not a big bowl of ...... poured into your stomach"

"In the past three years, when have you met to drink alcohol that I didn't pay for? Do you know how much money it costs to drink this red cotton wine?"

Lei Zhan said so much in a row, Kuzhu didn't speak, but had a smile on his face but no sense of embarrassment.

"Brother Lei, your family is a big business, this little wine money is just a drop in the bucket for you, but it is a huge number for my old way!"

"What's more, when I didn't go to the riverside to catch a fatty fish first, it should be two clear, and it should be two clear......"

Lei Zhan shook his head, and the words that seemed to have been held back for a long time finally came out.

"I said that the immortal chief ......" This time he didn't call it "Ox Nose" directly, but changed it to an honorific title like "Immortal Chief", obviously trying to get something out of Kuzhu.

Kuzhu smiled and said nothing, knowing that he had no ill intentions, but he still waited for him to continue.

"There is a sentence that has been held in my heart for a long time, if you don't vomit and be unhappy today, if you want to say that I am a sect, you have known it for a long time, it seems that you can't be without a sect, or you can tell me!"

With that, Lei Zhan poured wine into the bowl while waiting for Kuzhu's answer.

Outside the window, the white sails that were originally moored on the river bank are moving away one by one, and the white gulls that are disturbed by the noise on the sand are gradually flying back, watching the fish that float up from time to time in the water.

The slender and sharp beak is cut in the water, precise and swift, and rarely misses.

"What kind of sect and sect my old way is, even I can't tell!" Kuzhu frowned, and the gaze revealed was really very different from his previous performance.

Lei Zhan saw Lao Dao like this, knowing that he must have remembered something from the past that he didn't want to remember, although he was a little curious about Lao Dao's origin, but it was not good to make people feel desolate, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Hey, since you don't want to mention it, I won't ask in the future...... But what I've always been curious about is that every time I see you in the past three years, I've been carrying such a thing on my back, never leaving my body, I don't know...... What the hell is it?"

Lei Zhan pointed to the square package beside Lao Dao, his eyes full of expectation.

Kuzhu lowered his gaze slightly, touched it with his hand, and patted it lightly twice, looking very pious and respectful.

"This ...... It's a chessboard, it was left by the ancestor back then, and it has been passed to me, an unsuccessful disciple, the sect has long been a cloud of smoke, and there is probably only me left in this world, and after a hundred years, probably no one will know that name......" He seemed to recall something, and a yearning look appeared on his old face.

Lei Zhan naturally didn't ask him what the name of the place he longed for, because he knew that Lao Dao wouldn't say it.

"Chessboard...... And it's an ancestral chessboard, it seems that your sect should be studious people, if I want Lao Lei to take a look at that thing, I will feel a headache, it's really complicated, it's extremely complicated......"

Kuzhu picked up the wine bowl in front of him again, and said with a smile: "Lei Zhan, you and I have known each other for three years, if you talk about age, it can be regarded as a year-old friend, and today I will drink three more bowls......

"The first bowl, toast one of the things of this wine, and drink it with heroic feelings;"

"That's not bad, you should be bold when you drink, and I don't like pretentiousness!" Lei Zhan heard the old words, and a burst of pride rose in his heart, stood up, and drank the full bowl of wine.

Kuzhu drank the wine in the bowl and poured it again.

"This second bowl is to pay tribute to the people of the world who are struggling in today's troubled times, and I hope they can live in peace and not be implicated in war......" After saying that, he drank it in one gulp without waiting for Lei Zhan to speak.

Lei Zhan's hand holding the wine bowl trembled slightly, thinking of the current situation that today's tired human life is not as good as a dog, and the pride in his heart can't help but be slightly affected.

"If it weren't for the patriarch who decided not to participate in the change of dynasty and the pattern of the world, Lao Tzu would have directly taken the heads of those dog thieves who were bent on provoking wars, and I wouldn't have the surname Lei ......" He scolded secretly in his heart, and then turned his gaze, as if he was afraid of being listened to by others.

"Yes, there are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande...... What did the next sentence come from, why did I suddenly forget it?" Lei Zhan rubbed his head, racking his brains and unable to think of the next sentence.

"There are thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy! There are really many cold people in the world, and if there is enough food and clothing, it will already be a paradise on earth," Kuzhu sighed.

At this time, Xiao'er held the wrapped paper bag wrapped in oiled paper in his hand, and respectfully handed it to Lao Dao, Kuzhu took it with a smile and put it beside him.

Lei Zhan didn't know when Lao Dao wanted another drunken fairy chicken, and secretly cursed in his heart: Lao Dao of the chicken thief actually ate and drank, and he had to take it away!

However, he is heroic by nature, so naturally he will not take it to heart.

Seeing that Lei Zhan was a little hesitant to drink the wine in the bowl, Kuzhu didn't care, at this time, he had already filled the third bowl of wine and raised it.

"This last bowl is for you and me...... The water met, but they drank the same thing, and you invited me to drink so much wine......"

"After drinking this bowl, you and I will go to the top of the opposite mountain to dance in the breeze, and know the vastness of heaven and earth...... nature."

After that, Kuzhu drank the last bowl of wine, and then directly picked up the chessboard, lifted the drunken fairy chicken, and jumped out of the window with one turn.

Lei Zhan was still holding the wine bowl, and he was already dumbfounded, and in an instant, the entire second floor of the wine guests focused their eyes.

Xiao Er, who was standing by the stairs, looked at him with good eyes, as if he was afraid that he would also turn over and run away directly like the old way, and the money for this meal would be ethereal at that time.

Lei Zhan drank the wine unhurriedly, no matter when, he categorically refused to waste good wine.

Then he shook the wine gourd on the table, which was already full of wine, and he was satisfied.

The silver ingots must have landed on the table, making a distinctive sound that only silver can have, and when people looked up again, his figure was long gone.
