~~~ Recommend a "Xinghan Room" written by a water friend: Crossing into the Han Dynasty to offer the emperor, Xing my Han Dynasty is majestic!~~~

"Knock knock~" A rhythmic knock sounded outside the wooden door of the Izakaya, which immediately attracted the eyes of the four people in the izakaya.

It seems to be an unusual guest, because ordinary guests, according to the normal way, will directly pull the wooden door in, and almost no one will knock on the door like this, unless it is not a guest, but relatives and friends of the host's house.

Lu Xihua, who was sitting in the innermost seat at the counter, quietly narrowed his eyes, and then returned to his original state.

"Welcome! Guests please come in~" When Boss Ono heard the knock on the door, he immediately extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, and shouted a word of welcome in his mouth, but turned around and entered the kitchen.

The white-collar woman seemed to know who was coming, so she turned around very intimately, opened the wooden door, and an old man with crutches, neat clothes, and meticulous silver hair said "thank you very much" and walked in.

The old man was dressed in the traditional costume of a Japanese man: a woven hakama, the light-colored striped fabric had been washed and whitened, and obvious thread marks could be seen in many silk threads, especially the folds of the hakama under the waist. Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that the economic conditions of the old man's family are very bad, and it can be said that they are poor.

He only has one arm, and the other sleeve on the feather weave is carefully locked with a pin to prevent it from drifting in the wind and affecting the vision of others, which is an elder who respects his heart and cares about others.

The old man seemed to be silent, and after entering the izakaya, he leaned his cane on the counter seat, then took a cloth bag from his shoulder and placed it on the counter, and carefully opened it, revealing an old wooden food box.

"Excuse me. ”

"Where, where, keep you waiting. Boss Ono came out of the kitchen, also holding a worn-out wooden food box in his hand, carefully changed the wooden box in the cloth bag with both hands, and then wrapped the cloth bag carefully, and said softly, "Thank you for your patronage, I promise five hundred yuan." ”

Lu Xihua's eyes lit up suddenly, and he seemed to understand something, others couldn't see what was in the wooden box, but he could see it clearly.

The old man carefully put down a five-hundred-yuan coin and bowed slightly to Boss Ono Crane, "I'm sorry to bother you, I'm really sorry." Then he put the cloth bag on his shoulder again, picked up his crutches, and left on crutches.

Boss Ono Tsuru bowed behind the old man and said, "Thank you for your patronage~"

The wooden door was closed again, and quiet returned to the izakaya, and it was a long time before Boss Ono Tsuru straightened up again.

After a long while, it was confirmed that the old man had gone away, and the white-collar woman said, "The boss is really kind, now the set meal of 500 yuan is really rare, and the price of Tokyo is high, and it is even rarer." ”

Lu Xihua took advantage of the situation and said, "I think that the food box is not light, I think there must be a lot of things in it, boss, you are a loss, right?"

Boss Ono Crane shook his head and said, "You may have mistaken the guest, the weight is heavy because the food box is made of wood and not lacquer, and there is no other reason. ”

At this time, Xiao Shanjun quietly moved to Lu Xihua's side and squeezed his eyebrows, obviously having some secret words to exchange.

The white-collar woman nodded, "No matter what, it's not easy." Therefore, money is the most important thing in the world, and getting it is the most real thing, I still accept my fate, dreaming of that kind of thing has nothing to do with me. After finishing speaking, he drank all the plum wine in the bottle proudly, and said loudly, "Boss, have another bottle, anyway, there is a little brother to treat tonight." Brother, am I right, you won't pay the bills, will you?"

Lu Xihua waved his hand, "You can drink as much as you want, just have fun~"

Boss Ono Tsuru shook his head, turned around and went to the refrigerator to get wine again.

Here, Xiaoshanjun quietly approached Lu Xihua, "Little brother, you are a new guest, I don't know." The old man just now would come to Yeheyan every night at this time to buy a set meal, and I guess it might be the old man's food for a day. I once secretly saw that the boss of Ono Tsuru put a lot of good things in the food box, and the price was definitely more than 500 yuan. But the boss only accepts 500 for the elderly, and this is the case every day, and the wind is unimpeded. ”

Lu Xihua nodded, he had already seen through the wooden box, the one-foot-square box was divided into five grids of different sizes. One compartment is filled with rice, one compartment is a whole grilled mackerel, another compartment is fried tempura, all vegetarian dishes, beans, sweetfish, oysters, and another compartment contains several excellent egg rolls. In the last compartment is a mushroom soup, which is covered separately with a sealed box, not afraid of bumps and spills.

One rice, one meat, two vegetables, and one soup, each of which is very large, enough for an elderly person to eat three meals.

Such a package, according to the current market price, properly exceeds 2,500 yuan, and the boss of Ono Crane only charges the old man 500 yuan, and it is like this every day, there must be a reason for this.

"Then Xiaoshan-kun knows why the boss did this?" Lu Xihua asked.

Xiao Shanjun shook his head, "I only know that this old man is single and lives around here. On a whim, I checked with a friend, and the old man had a car accident when he was traveling at home, and his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were all killed, and he lost an arm, and his life was very difficult. Don't look at the boss with a scar on his face, he's very..."

"Cough~Hmph~" Boss Onozuru's cough sounded appropriately next to the two of them muttering. Xiao Shanjun was stunned suddenly, and the following words were never said again.

"Xiaoshan, what do you look like now? blushing and full of alcohol, why are you sitting so close to the new guests? Boss Ono Tsuru spoke unhurriedly, but his attitude was not refutable, and he could see that he was a strong-willed person.

Xiao Shanjun immediately coaxed, "Where, little brother asked me about something, didn't I happen to know a little~"

Boss Onozuru's squinted eyes grew a little, and suddenly Koyama-kun quickly returned to his seat like a frightened rabbit.

"I'm sorry, guest, but that's what he looks like. "Boss Ono Crane thinks that he has read countless people, and he can see that although Lu Xihua is young, he treats people as equals, polite and easy-going, no matter who he treats, there is no distinction between seniors and seniors, and everything in the world seems to be equal in his eyes, which is very peculiar. Yes, that's a peculiar feeling!

What a strange guest.

After what happened just now, Xiao Shanjun drank all the wine, and he was embarrassed to continue to sit down, got up and said, "It's not too early, I should go home too, excuse me." ”

The white-collar women also got up at this time, "It's really strange, usually at this time, there should be a lot of guests coming to the door, why don't there be any today." Today's meal, I'm also satisfied, little brother, thank you~"

The two of them were about to go out after paying their respective fees, Xiao Shanjun ran over and grabbed Lu Xihua's hand, "Little brother, when will you come over again, we will drink together then, I will basically come here four or five days a week, and it is also at this time." ”

Lu Xihua smiled and said, "I was just passing through Tokyo, and I was leaving early this morning, and I don't know when I will come next time." ”

Xiao Shanjun said regretfully, "That's really a pity, I'm glad to have met a friend like you who has a good conversation." So you're not working in Tokyo, so where are you going?"

"Osaka. ”

"Osaka is also very good~ Then we'll see you again. ”

At this time, the white-collar woman had already packed her things and was about to leave the izaka, and when she opened the wooden door, she couldn't help but scream, "I said why there were no guests tonight, it turned out to be foggy, what a fog~"

Several people immediately looked up at the wooden door, only to see a thick white silk flocculent gas flowing slowly in front of the wooden door, surging like waves. The fog was so thick that nothing else could be seen almost from a few meters away, and it tended to get bigger.

"The fog is so big that those who love to drink can't see the sign of the izakaya at all~ Cars can't go on the street anymore, no wonder there are so few customers. Tonight is really not a good time to go out~" The white-collar woman looked up at the red lantern hanging outside the curtain, and the yellow light from the bulb inside had become hazy, and it was estimated that it would be completely invisible ten meters away.

Seeing that the two of them were leaving, Lu Xihua reached out and patted the back of Xiao Shanjun's hand, "With such a big fog, it's not very convenient for a woman to go home alone, right?

"It seems to be a drop-by, I remember we walked in one direction, Kono-san, then let's go together. "Xiao Shanjun drank a little too much, and his brain was not very clear, so he didn't notice anything unusual.

Kono smiled bitterly, "Little brother is really considerate~ I don't know who takes care of whom, Xiaoshan, you look like this, I'm afraid you will fall into the ditch not long after you go out." Forget it, Miss Ben was so kind this time that she agreed to go with you. But I warn you, don't throw yourself on me for a while, my clothes are very expensive. ”

"There's no such thing, Miss Kono, don't worry, I'll definitely send you home. ”

"What do you mean to send me home? I'm just a charity before I am single, and tomorrow I'll be Mrs. Kuo, not a character you can climb~"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's to become the president's lover~ I know. ”

"What do you say!"

The noisy voices of the two people gradually faded away, leaving only Boss Ono Tsuru and Lu Xihua in the izakaya to smile at each other.

Boss Ono Tsuru said, "Most of my guests here are like this, after a hard day's work, they can only come to my place late at night to eat a good meal, and then drink a glass of wine, indulge their depressed mood, and make the guests smile." ”

"What's the matter, I think it's very good~ Everyone has taken off their masks and hypocrisy during the day, and they communicate with each other without burden, which is really enviable~" There are endless messy things in the territory of the Three Dynasties, which makes Lu Xihua, who was already depressed, a little annoyed, so he just took the opportunity to meet Kong Xuan this time to take a break.

"I'm afraid there won't be any customers coming to the door anytime soon, so I'll clean up the counter later, just take a nap and take a break. Do you have enough appetizers? I'll make it for you. Boss Ono found a stool and sat on the counter, smoking a cigarette in one hand and tapping his fingers on the counter with the other. The Kita Suzaku named Shoiwa was happily jumping on the counter, following the shaking fingers of Ono Tsuru, moving forward and backward, up and down, as if he were dancing.

"Boss, you are free~"

Neither of them got up to close the door, and the wooden door of the Nozuru Izakaya was left open, and as they watched the fog flow through the street, some even tried to pour into the store, but as if they suddenly felt something, they quickly shrank back and continued to blend into the fog in a proper manner.

Neither of them spoke, only the sound of Lu Xihua chewing skewers and drinking from time to time came out, which was exceptionally clear in the middle of the night.

The street seemed to be empty, and all sounds had disappeared, leaving only this izakaya in the world.

"The guest isn't Japanese, is he?" said Boss Ono Tsuru suddenly, breaking the silence in the izakaya.
