Mo Xingxing, Lu Zhengtong and Zhang Wangxi walked into the hall, only to find that there was another person sitting inside.

There was only one person in the empty hall, and although the seat was far from the door, in the innermost part of the front right, it was particularly eye-catching.

The man wore a hat on top of his head, his face could not be seen clearly, and he was dressed in a gray shirt. I'm pouring myself a drink there.

I don't know how much wine this person drank, and there were not many dishes on the table. At a glance, you can see it clearly: only two containers of different sizes, a plate of peanuts and a plate of beef.

But there was one thing on the table that stood out, and it was a wine jar, which could hold twenty pounds of wine jar.

The three walked in, but the man did not look up and continued to drink his wine.

The three of them did not know who this person was, nor did they know where he came from, and it was inconvenient for them to greet each other.

Outside, near the gate, they found a table and sat down.

The three of them glanced down the hall again, and saw that there was a door facing inside and to the left, which looked like it might be facing the back kitchen. There is a curved ruler-shaped corner cabinet next to the back kitchen door, and there are more than a dozen large and small wine jars on the back closet.

There was no one in the hall, only the sound of kitchen knives chopping vegetables from the back kitchen door. Mo Xingxing shouted to the back kitchen:

"Is there anyone at the store?"

didn't see anyone coming out, so Mo Xingxing pouted at Zhang Wangxi, meaning to ask him to ask if there was anyone in the store.

Zhang Wangxi sat outside, closer to the back kitchen door. He was also a little tired, stood up, and shouted again towards the gate:

"Does the shopkeeper have anybody?"

The kitchen chopping board was still ping-pong, and no one came out. Zhang Wangxi was about to raise the volume and shout again, but he couldn't call the people in.

At this time, a person stood up at the counter, rubbing his eyes with his hands, probably because there were no customers in the store, and he was dozing.

The man wore a small felt hat, a long towel over his shoulder, and a blue cloth robe. He raised his head, looked out twice, and replied:

"Someone, coming. What do you want?"

Zhang Wangxi asked rhetorically:

"There's something to eat in the store, I'll hear what you're good at. ”

The shopkeeper stretched his waist, yawned, and said:

"Guest officer, the location of the store is not good, this small profit is thin, there are not a few big signature dishes, and there are three that can barely be taken out. A spiced beef, a chicken called Huahua, and a bacon stewed bamboo shoots. Today......"

"Just bring us all the three dishes you just mentioned, and in addition, you have to pack one. Be fast. ”

Mo was happy to hear that there were a few dishes he liked to eat, and interrupted the shopkeeper's words.

"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Today, for some reason, a few groups of customers came, and only one of the three dishes in the small shop was not finished......"

"Which one hasn't been finished? Tell me, my stomach is growling with hunger. ”

This time it was Lu Zhengtong who interrupted the shopkeeper to speak, everyone didn't expect that it was Lu Zhengtong who was hungry, although this person didn't talk much, but when he said it, he was talking about the idea, and when he heard the delicious food, everyone's stomach was even more hungry.

"The guest officer listened to me, there are no spiced beef and called chicken, only bacon stewed bamboo shoots and some some, whether it is enough for three people to eat, I will see. ”

The shopkeeper walked out of the curved ruler counter, turned back and said:

"The rice is gone, and there are some steamed buns, which are steamed, do you want to eat them and I will pick up some for the three of them?"

After speaking, the shopkeeper stood still and didn't leave, meaning to wait for the three of them to reply.

The three of them looked at each other, it would be nice to have something to eat, there was no way to pick and choose here.

"Serve the bacon stewed bamboo shoots together, and pick up three baskets of buns first. ”

Mo Xingxing couldn't wait anymore and shouted loudly.

"Where's the peanuts?

Lu Zhengtong saw that there were peanuts on the table of the gray-clothed man, and couldn't help but ask, but his voice was lowered.

"The guest officer peanuts are gone, and today's peanuts are sold for three days. ”

The shopkeeper took two steps, then turned back and said:

"The buns we have here are not sold by the cage, they are sold by the cage, two yuan each, how many do the guest officers want?"

"It doesn't matter if you press the cage or sell it by one, you have to act quickly. First, serve fifteen steamed buns and a stewed bamboo shoot with bacon. ”

Mo Xingxing was too long to say with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll give the three of you up. ”

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned around and went into the back kitchen.

The three of them sat empty, and kept looking at the gray-clothed man.

The man drank and did not speak. In terms of stature, it is thin and difficult to judge age, but it should not be small.

Because from the common sense of common sense, if it is a young person, he generally likes to be lively, and he does not have such great patience, so he has already looked up and observed the three people who just came in, and maybe he will talk to the three of them.

But this man could endure loneliness and never said a word.

And judging from the figure, it should be a man, and the movements of women are different from those of men, as long as there is time to observe, these three people are confident that they will not admit mistakes. What's more, there are a few women who will drink in a big bowl outside, including almost no heroes among the women in the rivers and lakes.

Everyone also found that this person's drinking is different from others, others drink one bowl and then pour another bowl, this person is three bowls in a row, and then three bowls in a row. Pour three bowls and drink them all at once.

And this person's eating appearance is also very elegant, every time he drinks a bowl of wine, he uses chopsticks to hold a few peanuts or a few slices of beef and put them in his mouth, chews the peanuts and beef and swallows it slowly, and then drinks the second bowl.

After a while, Xiao Er put three pairs of chopsticks in front of the three of them, and scooped half a pot of soup with bacon and stewed bamboo shoots. Two plates of steamed buns were served, one for seven and one for eight. It was placed in front of the three of them.

The three of them didn't move their chopsticks, they had already grabbed one in each hand and stuffed it into their mouths. I didn't see a few bites, so I swallowed it.

Mo Xingxing suddenly remembered something, glanced at the man in gray, and said to the shopkeeper who had just turned around and walked a few steps:

"Hey, what's going on? Are you afraid that we won't pay for it?

The shopkeeper stopped, turned around and asked:

"I'm sorry, you didn't say it, I forgot to ask. How many do you want? I'll send it up. ”

"Let's hit three pounds first. ”

Zhang Wangxi said. Among the three people, Mo Xingxing likes to drink the most, and Lu Zhengtong has the best amount of alcohol. I can't drink much, though.

Zhang Wangxi was afraid of making a mistake, so he told the shopkeeper in advance that he would go up three catties first, and after one person ate one catty, he proposed to leave, because there were still two people waiting to eat.

The shopkeeper put three new wine bowls, beat three catties of wine and put them in a big bowl, brought them up, and put them in front of the three people. Compared to the scene of the man in gray drinking, it is much more stingy, although they are three people.

Zhang Wangxi poured the wine in the large bowl into three bowls on average and placed it in front of everyone.

It occurred to him that there was nothing else to eat here, so why not bring some soup back, if there was no one in the store, then the half pot of soup would be divided into two parts, one for them to eat, and one to take home. He asked the shopkeeper:

"Do you have any other soups to eat?"

"I'm sorry, no, I have to go to the mountains to find vegetables. ”

"Shall we bring some of this soup back and they will eat it?"

Zhang Wangxi asked the two.

"It's not enough for the three of us to eat, you still have to bring some back, what are we going to eat?"

Mo Xingxing disagreed.

Lu Zhengtong didn't speak. It is equivalent to agreeing with Mo Xingxing's opinion and disagreeing to take it away. It's also true, this soup is really not enough for three big men.

Of the three, you catch one, I catch one, you take a big sip, I take a big sip. After a while, fifteen buns and three bowls of wine were overturned.

Zhang Wangxi was afraid that the two of them would be addicted to drinking and didn't want to leave, so he hurriedly walked to the counter, paid for the meal, and came back to propose:

"There's still someone waiting for us there, let's go. ”

The two didn't say anything, stood up, burped, and walked out.
