Jincheng, drunken incense building.

It's not a big restaurant, but it's chic.

Although there are only four floors, each floor has a different decoration.

From one to the top, they are named after the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Jiang Xiaoman followed Han Xun and went directly to the top floor, the winter building, which according to Xiao Er, only receives distinguished guests on weekdays.

Looking around at the arrangement, the young man was amazed.

Although it is summer, you can feel the slightest coolness in this winter building, and there are only nine tables in the spacious hall.

Each table is divided by a screen decorated with freehand plum blossoms, and the middle table, through which you can faintly see a plum tree in the center of the large round table that can seat more than 30 people.

It turned out to be out of season to bloom plum blossoms.

"Brother Jiang, please!" Han Xunzhi waved his hand lightly, signaling Xiao Man to go first, and let the young man into the middle screen with the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Jiang Xiaoman didn't shirk either, he walked into the screen first, stretched out his hand and gently touched the pink flowers dotted among the plum trees, not fake flowers as he thought, but real flowers.

It can be seen that the boss of this drunken incense building must have put a lot of effort into the layout of this floor.

"Heh, I've never seen the earthly buns in the world..."

Han Yi, who followed him, saw the young man behaving like this, and the corners of his mouth pulled and he sneered lowly.

As soon as the words fell, the brother who was standing at the front turned his head and glared at him fiercely.

Signaled to his brother not to talk too much, so as not to cause extraneous branches.

Han Xunzhi's glance made Han Yi, who knew his brother's actions well, turn pale and shrank his neck back slightly.

Fortunately, at this time, Jiang Xiaoman stepped into the screen first, and did not hear the words of this gloomy child.

Seeing that the stupid boy who was really a bit hateful and nosy did not react, Han Xunzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tell a few people to serve the table first, and go to the back kitchen to decorate it themselves.

This drunken incense building originally belonged to the industry of the Han family's forces, although it was not the Han family's full power, but it was more than enough to arrange it to deal with a young man who didn't know anything when he first entered the rivers and lakes.

Move a little bit in the meal and capture a teenager with brute strength, that's not a matter of hand-to-hand capture.

Unless it is a nouveau riche who is not rich for three generations, otherwise, there are few brainless and arrogant fools.

The family that can be inherited for thousands of years, how can the descendants who come out be people who only know everything and have no city.

The greater the clan power, the more fierce the competition.

Even those top supreme clans in the five regions of Kyushu are not exempt from vulgarity.

Just when the old and the new alternate in each domain, the ninety-five positions are contested.

It's enough to make the brothers who once loved each other turn their faces.

Even the siblings who grew up together with a mother and compatriots, as long as you stand in my way, you can be ruthless.

Everyone envies the children of the great family, who can be born with a golden key in their mouths, enjoy endless glory and wealth, and do not have to suffer every day for food and clothing.

Even, for a copper coin, you can kneel for others.

But I don't know, maybe those sons and daughters of the family may be more envious of the small life of ordinary people.

There is no marriage between clans with one purpose or another, and there is no uninterrupted intrigue at the moment of opening an eye.

Parents love each other, siblings kiss each other.

It's like a siege.

You envy me for having endless glory, and I don't have to run around all day long to fill my stomach.

I envy you for being pampered by your parents, having brothers to protect you, being able to go on a blind date with sisters, and not having to pretend to be sad alone after being alone.

You envy me Zhong Ming Dingshi, a strong face, invincible.

And I, I envy you for having a dependent, a companion, and someone who understands your sadness.

Born in a high-ranking valve, it is both fortunate and sometimes sad.

There will only be two kinds of descendants who will come out of it.

One is a person who is truly pure, clear, and does not know the sinister of the world.

And the other kind is the scheming city is very deep, and knows how to wait patiently.

The former must have been spoiled by the elders of the clan since he was a child, and he grew up in shelter for half his life.

The latter, although they may be favored by their elders, are deeply affected by the strife among the clans, and since childhood, the scheming of the city government has increased dramatically as they grow older.

Often, in a big clan where people are as cold and low as dogs.

The second type of person will live more like a fish in water.

As for the first type, once you lose the protection of your elders, the end will definitely be extremely miserable.

And Han Xunzhi is exactly the second kind of person.

If it weren't for this, it would not have become the third heir of the Han family, one of the three major clans of Jincheng Danlou, early on.

Over the years, few people who have offended him in Jincheng, even the people of the Han family, have died well.

This is also the reason why Han Yi is so jealous and afraid of his clan brother.

After so many years of open and secret competition, he has developed a character that is invisible, but flaws must be repaid.

This foreign boy surnamed Jiang dared to wave his fist on the street to stop him, making Han Xunzhi lose face.

If it weren't for Jiang Xiaoman's strong physical cultivation, he would not have been lured to this drunken incense building and used his back.

The back kitchen of Zuixianglou is very large, and there are no less than 30 people just doing chores.

There was still some time before the meal, so it wasn't too busy.

A group of small cooks are sitting bored in the back kitchen, chatting in groups to pass the time.

The steward in charge of the back kitchen was a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body surnamed Dong.

Although he is not a person from Jincheng, in his early years, he relied on his unique drunken shrimp skills to establish himself in Zuixianglou.

Now that I'm older, I basically don't cook much by myself, and most of them are in charge of the apprentices.

"Han Gongzi. ”

Seeing Han Xunzhi walking in, Steward Dong hurriedly got up and said respectfully.

"Hmm. Han Xunzhi was very satisfied with the attitude of this fat man Dong, nodded, and said softly: "Later, I will entertain a few friends in Zuixiang Building, and I want to bother Steward Dong to make two good drunken shrimp and drunken crabs." ”

"No problem, I'll go and prepare now. ”

The Han family is one of the largest owners of Zuixianglou, and Han Xunzhi is now the most powerful young master of the Han family, he instructed the steward Dong how dare not obey, smiled and agreed, walked towards the stove, fished out a live shrimp and a live crab from the large vat on the side, and lifted the cold iron kitchen knife to start work.

"Slow?"

The kitchen knife hadn't fallen yet, but it was stopped by Han Xunzhi first.

"The steward will wait for the dish to be ready later, and mix it in. Han Xunzhi took out a small packet of medicinal powder wrapped in yellow paper from his arms, handed it to Dong Fatzi, stared at him and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Dong, is there no problem?"

"This..."The corners of Fat Dong's mouth trembled slightly, and finally he pinched the medicinal powder in his hand, nodded and smiled: "Young Master Han has ordered, it's no problem to think of yourself." ”

This call of the shopkeeper Dong is meaningful, since Dong Fatzi can sit in the kitchen steward position of Zuixiang Building, one of the three largest restaurants in Jincheng, in less than 20 years.

can marry a two-room wife in Jincheng and gain a firm foothold, Dong Fatzi will naturally not be a simple cook who only knows how to cook and does not understand human feelings.

After thinking about it, Steward Dong quietly stuffed the medicinal powder into his sleeve, and looked at Han Xunzhi with some embarrassment: "I shouldn't have said more, it's just..."

With Han Xunzhi's city government, I don't know what this fat man is worried about, he smiled lightly and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this medicine powder just makes people temporarily unconscious, and I am not stupid, I won't mess around in my own restaurant to make it difficult for you." ”

"In addition..."After a slight pause, Han Xunzhi then smiled: "The shopkeeper of Zuixianglou has always been a capable person, and I will mention to my grandfather that this shopkeeper is old, and he will be grateful for his contribution to Zuixianglou in his life, and he will be given a sum of money to go home for the elderly with peace of mind." ”

Retracting his hand, Han Xunzhi walked towards the outside of the house, and said softly as he walked: "Although the shopkeeper Wang has some kinship with the old lady of the Li family, but if he thinks about it, if his grandfather comes forward, the other two families will not have any opinions. ”

"Young Master Han's kindness, I, Dong Chuan, must keep it in mind. Hearing what Han Xunzhi said before going out, Dong Fatzi was overjoyed, and hurriedly bent down respectfully towards the back.

The old lady of the Han family, what kind of person is that, stomp your feet casually, this Shuzhou will tremble three times.

There is a way, the shadow of the famous tree of man.

Danlou Han family, this name, in the rivers and lakes of the three counties of Shuzhou, is sometimes better than the Shuzhou pastoral capital.

Walking the rivers and lakes, whether it is fighting with others or cultivating yourself, you can't do without the help of this elixir.

It is precisely because of this that the Dan masters who can refine all kinds of strange pills are highly respected by the world on this river and lake.

Among the Five Domains, the vast majority of Dan Masters belonged to the Danlou, a huge organization that has existed forever.

In a certain heyday, the Danlou was even beyond the Five Domains.

In the Eastern Regions, the land is divided into millions of miles, and it has become a country of its own, called the Dan Dynasty.

When the national strength is at its strongest, it is enough to compete with the Yin clan, the supreme Shang of the Eastern Regions.

Although it was only less than a thousand years after the founding of the country, for some reason, the country's power gradually declined until it collapsed from within.

The once powerful Dan Dynasty has become history, from the Dan Dynasty to the Dan Tower.

But it does not prevent Danlou's status in this land is still transcendent.

Among the five domains, among the five major dynasties, no matter which domain it is, the shadow of the Danlou can be seen so far.

Although it is now only a loose alliance spontaneously formed by Dan masters on the surface, it is still secretly called by those who are familiar with the history behind Dan Tower as a top force that can compete with the Heavenly Machine Tower in the Middle Domain.

And now the system of Danshi is formulated by Danlou.

Grades 1 to 9, from low to high, are divided according to the types of pills that can be refined.

The following five grades are all mortal Dan masters.

On top of the five products, one product has a title.

Traditionally, it has been necessary to pass the Danlou assessment to obtain.

The entire Shuzhou City, with a population of 10 million, has less than 10,000 Dan masters, and there are only a few ten people who can reach the fifth rank.

And Han Xunzhi's grandfather, Han Mo, is one of these ten people, and he is one of the three ruling elders of Jincheng Danlou.

It is precisely because of this that the Han family has been able to become the top force in Jincheng in less than a hundred years under the leadership of Han Mo.

......

Thinking of this, Dong Fatzi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh softly.

I don't know who it is, so ignorant and uninteresting, he actually offended the son of the Han family.

I think that the strength should not be weak, otherwise, Young Master Han Xunzhi would not use such unseemly means.

However, none of this should be something that a small person like him should think about.

Little people naturally have the pursuit of little people, which is nothing more than how to make their lives better.

When a small person also has the benefits of a small person, it is not like those big people with high status, once they make a mistake, they will never recover, and they will never be able to be reborn.

This person has to think more about himself when he lives.

This is human nature, as the saying goes, if people do not do it for themselves, it will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

Thinking like this, the only remaining guilt of being a chef in Dong Fatzi's heart disappeared, and the knife fell in his hand, the knife work was very clean and neat, and he was indeed a skilled cook.

Humming a little song, the shrimp and crab were boiled in the pot, and after a while, the rich fragrance spread in the kitchen.

He took out the small bag of medicinal powder from his sleeve, sprinkled it into the pot, picked up a large spoon and mixed it, and did not see anything unusual at all.

"Ji Xiaoyue, come over and serve these two plates of drunken shrimp and drunken crabs to the guests of the Winter Building. Dong Fat nodded with satisfaction, and shouted at a young man in a green shirt who was napping and fugue: "That's a distinguished guest, remember to be nimble, if something goes wrong, beware of me breaking your legs!"

"Okay!" the little guy who seemed to be dozing off and thinning but with a very delicate face replied happily, trotting over the plate, and then trotting all the way to the door.

"The hands and feet are neat, and he is a good scapegoat..."

Dong Fatzi looked at the clever back of the young man in the green shirt, nodded and said to himself.

Although Young Master Han assured him that there was no problem, he still had to be a man and do things and leave a back hand for himself.

This young man in a green shirt called Ji Xiaoyue has only been in Zuixianglou for two days, and he is a foreigner.

Isn't it the best person to be the scapegoat once something happens.

Thinking of being promoted to the big shopkeeper of Zuixiang Building, the oil and water in it are far from being comparable to a small chef in the back kitchen, and Dong Fatzi's mood is surprisingly good.

It's a pity that the fat man didn't look at it.

After the little guy in the green shirt turned his back, there was a pair of big clear eyes, and the purring eyes kept rolling.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a scapegoat who is unlucky enough to take the blame.
