Chapter 9: The Strange Shopkeeper
Long Xiaoyu pulled Jiang Yun to a more dilapidated place, which was obviously much more remote, and even pedestrians on the road couldn't see a few.
"Here, this is it!" Long Xiaoyu said, pointing to an old house in front of him.
This is a very small shop, and the words "Lu's Sauce Duck" are simply written on the wall with a brush at the entrance of the store. There were only two or three tables inside, and the furnishings in the room were shabby, as if they were some years old.
As if seeing the doubts in Jiang Yun's heart, Long Xiaoyu opened his mouth to explain, "This is a century-old shop, due to the poor management of the shopkeeper, so the business here has been very sluggish, but the taste of the sauce duck in the store is a must, you will know it when you taste it!"
Walking in, Long Xiaoyu casually found a table and sat down with Jiang Yun.
"Shopkeeper, bring us a sauce duck and a pound of daughter red!" Long Xiaoyu shouted in the direction of the back hall.
A light cough came, and a tall and thin old man walked out of it, he glanced at Jiang Yun and the others, and just said "Wait a minute" with an expressionless face and walked in again.
What a strange shopkeeper, Jiang Yun finally understood why business was sluggish here.
"This person is like this, I've been here many times, I've never seen him smile, if it weren't for the fact that the sauce duck here tastes really good, this shop would have closed down a long time ago!" Long Xiaoyu said softly.
After waiting for half an hour, the shopkeeper walked out of the back hall with a plate, and a sweet smell that made people feel appetizing wafted out from the plate, Long Xiaoyu subconsciously licked his lips, looking impatient.
The shopkeeper put the wine and food on the table, still leaving a sentence of "slow use" with a blank face, and then turned around and walked to the back hall.
"You tasted a piece, it's really fragrant!" Long Xiaoyu picked up a piece of roast duck and fed it to Jiang Yun's mouth.
Jiang Yun was slightly stunned, but he still opened his mouth and bit down, a crisp and sweet taste immediately overflowed from his mouth, he nodded while eating, "It's really good!"
"I'll just say it, the sauce duck here is me"
"Little Er, serve three sauce ducks to the uncle!" A thunderous shout interrupted Long Xiaoyu's words.
Long Xiaoyu frowned and looked towards the door unhappily, only to see three men dressed strangely, like businessmen, swaggering in.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a big red robe and a blue turban wrapped around his head, the man's eyes scanned the store for a week, and he asked with some confusion, "Second brother, could this be the sauce duck shop you said?"
The square-faced middle-aged man on the left hand side was a slightly smaller man in a green robe and a white turban. After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the green-robed man immediately ran out of the store to observe carefully, and after a few breaths, the green-robed man ran back and patted his chest and said.
"That's right, big brother! This is it, I remember the last time Xiaoliu told me about this family!"
"Big brother, is the sauce duck here as the third brother said, let's sit down and have a try!" said the last man in a black robe, a white turban, and a somewhat hooked nose.
Under the persuasion of the hook-nosed man, the green-robed man reluctantly found a seat to sit down.
At this moment, the shopkeeper came out with a voice, and after saying the same thing, he turned around and walked in.
After a cup of tea, the shopkeeper came out with a plate.
"We want three sauced ducks, why do you serve us such a little?" asked the green-robed man, pointing to the roast duck on the table.
"The rules of our store are that each person only sells half a sauce duck, so you can't buy more!" said the shopkeeper with an expressionless face.
"You!"
The middle-aged man grabbed the green-robed man and said, "Let's taste it first!"
The three of them picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, and in less than ten breaths, a plate of sauce duck was all eaten by the three of them. The green-robed man licked his lips and slapped the table and shouted.
"Shopkeeper, give us three more sauce ducks!"
"It's not for sale today, you will come back tomorrow!" came the voice of the shopkeeper in the back hall.
When the green-robed man heard this, he stood up and shouted angrily, "What are you talking about, uncle, I'm here to give you a long face, and I don't know what to lift!"
Here, Jiang Yun always drank and drank by himself as if nothing happened, while Long Xiaoyu secretly observed a few people from time to time.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement inside, and the middle-aged man glanced at the green-robed man, and the green-robed man immediately overturned the table. The table happened to smash towards Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun's palm was blue, and he raised his hand to slap the table apart.
At this time, suddenly a bamboo chopstick flew from the direction of the back hall and pierced the shoulder of the green-robed man.
The green-robed man was startled, and it was too late to dodge, only to see the middle-aged man's fingers flick, and a white light shot out, breaking the bamboo chopsticks into two pieces.
"It turned out to be really the senior Lu, the junior 'Dujiang Liuxiong' had seen the senior, and he had to offend a lot as a last resort, and asked the senior to show up!" said the middle-aged man with a fist in the direction of the back hall.
Judging by his expression and the judgment just now, even the two people next to him changed their unreasonable and arrogant just now, and they all stood respectfully and straight.
After a soft sigh, Lu Chunshan walked out helplessly.
"I can't imagine that the old man has retired to the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and he still can't live an ordinary life with peace of mind. Tell me, why did you come to the old man?"
"That's the case, Lu seniors, juniors want to ask seniors about someone. I don't know if the seniors can know that Li Changfeng, who was known as the 'immortal divine doctor' on the rivers and lakes ten years ago, where is Senior Li?" the middle-aged man stepped forward and asked respectfully.
Lu Chunshan laughed, "The old man has long stopped asking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so you are looking for the wrong person!"
"Senior Lu said with a smile, you were known as a 'jack of all trades' back then, there is nothing in the world that you don't know, so you can be kind!" the middle-aged man continued to plead without giving up.
"I don't know what you're looking for the 'Immortal Divine Doctor'?" Lu Chunshan asked after thinking for a while.
"Hey, it's not my sixth brother who is not angry, he causes trouble all day long, and he offended the 'Hundred Poison Boy' and was severely poisoned by him. We have visited famous doctors all over the world, but we can only suppress the poison in his body temporarily, he only has a month left, and we really have no way to disturb our predecessors!" the middle-aged man said with a sigh.
"Well, you go to Luxia Mountain in Tongzhou, where there is a Butterfly Valley, and the 'Immortal Divine Doctor' is in the Butterfly Valley. However, this valley is very hidden, whether you can find it depends on your creation, the old man is all he says, please do it!"
The three middle-aged men hurriedly thanked and turned to leave
