Chapter Twenty-Three: Manxiang Building
This restaurant is a century-old shop in Sifang City, and it is also the largest restaurant in Sifang City. The location of the restaurant is naturally the best geographical location of Sifang City: the surrounding scenery is beautiful, the transportation is convenient, the decoration is also first-class, how luxurious it is, try to do how luxurious, and the wine made by the winemaker of the Manxiang Restaurant is also a must, so the wealthy people of the Sifang City usually like to meet friends with wine in the Manxiang Restaurant.
At this time, it is almost time for lunch, so there are more carriages in front of the restaurant, and it is absolutely not too much to describe it with the word "busy". As soon as a carriage left, another stopped at the door of the restaurant. Wealthy middle-aged people, groups of children of big families, got off the carriages and walked briskly into the Manxiang Restaurant.
Suddenly, the little guy who had been standing at the door of the restaurant waiting for someone quickly ran out, and quickly came to the side of a car with the logo of the city lord's mansion that had just stopped, and carefully opened the curtain of the car with an extremely flattering smile on his face.
"Welcome Miss Fang Xue and Zhou Gongzi!" the little guy looked at Zhou Fuyao and Fang Xue in the carriage and shouted in a respectful tone. Today, the boss told him to wait at the door of the restaurant, wait for the car of the city lord's mansion, and lead them to the box on the top floor. If it weren't for the fact that today, when the personal soldiers holding the city lord's order came to book the box, they explained to the shopkeeper of Manxianglou: Don't be too high-profile. Otherwise, the shopkeeper of the hotel will personally greet the owner at the door of the restaurant. Since Fang Mei's big victory yesterday, her momentum has reached an unprecedented level. Although Fang Mei's words didn't work very well in some places in the past, but since yesterday Fang Mei took advantage of the situation to uproot some families who like to make small moves in private, so from today on, Sifang City is the place where Fang Mei said that one is one, and that two is two. If you don't accept it, it's good, the big families that have been uprooted are your examples.
"Hmm!" Fang Xue nodded, moved her lotus steps lightly, and stepped down from the car. Zhou Fuyao also got out of the carriage.
Zhou Fuyao and Fang Xue also used to come to this restaurant to drink, but they were very low-key every time. The little servant politely welcomed the two into the restaurant, and took them into the box with the best view on the top floor and sat down. As soon as the two sat down, the shopkeeper of Manxianglou came over to greet him, and the three of them exchanged a few words. The shopkeeper said goodbye very consciously, and as soon as the shopkeeper's front foot left, one after another exquisite dishes came up on the back foot, filling a large table, and finally a few jars of aged wine were naturally indispensable.
"It's been a while since we've sat together like this. During this time, you are practicing Yunxiu Camp?" Zhou Fuyao picked up the wine jug full of fragrant wine and poured wine into the wine glass in front of Fang Xue. This full aroma has a very low degree, but it is full of aroma and pure aroma.
"Yes, I've been practicing Yunxiu Camp recently!" Fang Xue replied with a sip of fragrant wine. When she led the Yunxiu battalion to the Sifang Pharmacy yesterday, the battle was already over, but the two of them didn't sit down and talk properly, because Fang Xue still needed to hurry to quell the turmoil in other parts of the city.
"Your Yunxiu Battalion's combat effectiveness is good!" Zhou Fuyao recalled what he saw yesterday: the scene where the girls of the Yunxiu Battalion relied on the battle formation in groups and lightly surrounded and killed the enemy, and boasted.
"You have to know that this is the Yunxiu Camp that I have spent countless efforts and hard work to train!" Fang Xue said proudly.
"My snow girl is really amazing!" Zhou Fuyao said while clapping his hands.
"I'm not from your family!" Fang Xue suddenly blushed and whispered.
"Hehe, yes, it's not my family, it's not my family. ”
"Xue'er, do you have any arrangements for this secret realm?" Zhou Fuyao asked differently.
"What can be arranged. When the time comes, I will fight steadily and steadily, and I will advance all the way! Isn't this what I have been so fortunate enough to train the Yunxiu Camp for? When the time comes, I will definitely surprise the Protoss. Fang Xue glared at Zhou Fuyao with eyes full of resentment, this wood is so old and unenlightened, he obviously likes himself, but he always doesn't say it.
"I'll protect you then!" Zhou Fuyao nodded, he had long wanted to see this secret realm, he had broken through the innate now, and his mother also intended to let him go to the secret realm to exercise.
"I don't need your protection!" Fang Xue said with a pout.
"Hehe, although you have Yunxiu Camp. But Brother's cultivation is higher than you!Brother is now an innate monk!" Zhou Fuyao squeezed his brows and said to Fang Xue.
"You also said that you almost died this time, so you don't take your life seriously?" Fang Xue also heard about Zhou Fuyao and Ying fighting afterwards.
"Isn't that good?" replied Zhou Fuyao a little weakly. In fact, he was also a little scared in his heart, if he hadn't bought the stone crane in the first place, maybe he would have died.
"Come, a toast for the rest of my life!" Zhou Fuyao picked up his wine glass and saluted Fang Xue.
Fang Xue picked up the wine glass, touched it with Zhou Fuyao, both of them drank it all, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"Every time I drink, I remember the first time we secretly drank when we were children, you stole a medium-grade spirit stone from your mother, and secretly exchanged it for a bottle of bad wine, although the wine was very spicy, but we two fools hid in the grass You took a sip, I took a sip, but drank with relish, and finally drank directly drunk. If it weren't for your mother who found us, maybe the two of us would have slept in that bush for a few days and nights. Later, you were beaten half to death by your mother, and I was punished for copying books in the study for a month. The worst thing was the merchant who bought the wine for us, because he was greedy for cheapness, he deceived us with a small bottle of inferior wine and received a whipping. Fang Xue said with a look of reminiscence.
Zhou Fuyao stood aside, quietly listening to Fang Xue's pleasant sound like a spring tinkling.
"But who knows, after this time, we will like to drink. Fang Xue picked up the wine jug and poured a full bottle of wine for Zhou Fuyao, then filled his wine glass, took a sip lightly and continued.
The two of them were like this, Fang Xue was talking about those memories intermittently, while Zhou Fuyao sat there quietly, smiling from time to time and taking a drink with Fang Xue. Although this wine is not intoxicating, Zhou Fuyao is already drunk!
"Did your mother tell you about leaving Sifang City?" Fang Xue suddenly asked after recalling the incident between the two of them.
"Haven't you been going too?" replied Zhou Fuyao strangely.
"Well, my mother has already told me, but I'm really a little reluctant to let my mother go. Fang Xue muttered in a low voice.
"Then just let your mother go with you. Zhou Fuyao shrugged his shoulders and said. He has been instilled in the outside world by her mother since he was a child, but he knows that the outside world is big, big, and not something he can imagine. You can only experience it if you see it with your own eyes.
"You root wood, how can my mother abandon her career lightly. Fang Xue glanced at Zhou Fuyao.
"Then we will build a bigger business, and take care of your mother in the future. Zhou Fuyao drew a big circle in the air with his hand, and said in a natural tone.
"Wood, you're still very ambitious!" Fang Xue looked at Zhou Fuyao's serious expression, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Of course, my dream is very simple, I want to be a man who stands up to the sky. Zhou Fu said with a puffed chest.
"Otherwise, when are we going to drink the chrysanthemum wine buried in my mother's yard. Fang Xue suddenly said playfully.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by your mother?" Zhou Fuyao was also a little moved, this chrysanthemum wine brewed by Fang Mei herself, even if it was full of fragrant wine, it couldn't be compared. The two little drunkards suddenly frowned.
"I'm going to leave anyway, and then I'll say that you stole it......" Fang Xue replied with a rogue face.
"You're too shameless......"
The two sat in the restaurant until it was almost sunset, and then they reluctantly parted and went home.
In the Sifang City Lord's Mansion, Fang Mei was sitting in the study, looking at the report submitted below.
"Mother. Fang Xue walked in from outside the door, slowly walked to Fang Mei's side, and called in a low voice.
"You're back, are you having fun with Yue'er?" Fang Xue and Zhou Fuyao went to drink, and naturally someone reported it to him.
"Well, it's okay to be with that wood! I'll pinch my mother's back. Fang Xue walked behind Fang Mei, stretched out her round hands, and gently pressed Fang Mei's shoulders.
Fang Mei put down the report in her hand, leaned back on the chair, closed her eyes and enjoyed Fang Xue's massage.
"Girl, do you have something on your mind?" After a while, Fang Mei saw that Fang Xue didn't speak, turned her head and asked slowly.
Fang Xue nodded and did not speak.
"I know that at this time, you usually talk non-stop, and it looks like a stuffy gourd there like today. Fang Mei shook her head, her daughter is good at everything, but she doesn't like to talk in front of outsiders, so she talks a lot here.
"Mother, I just can't bear to leave you. Fang Xue leaned down and hugged Fang Mei from behind and said.
"Oh, my good daughter! The chicks will one day fly out of the arms of their parents. You're going to have to leave your mother someday. Fang Mei sighed and said, "However, my mother didn't expect it to be so soon." ”
"Mother......
"I still remember that it was a beautiful day, when there was heavy snow in Sifang City, and I walked alone on Qingxiu Mountain to enjoy the snow. Suddenly, I heard a cry, and it was like a magic that brought me to you. At that time, you were wrapped in swaddling clothes, revealing a face as white as snow. I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you, and gave you a name: Fang Xue!"
"Mother, Xue'er is reluctant to leave you!" Fang Xue said with tears in her eyes.
"Silly girl, your talent in formation even praises you Aunt Shuang. Staying in this Quartet is a waste of your talent. And it's not that you can't come back when you go, and when you cultivate to a higher level in the future, you can go home and see it at any time, so you must practice well. Fang Mei gently stroked Fang Xue's hair and said again with a doting expression.
"Mother, I know. Fang Xue looked at Fang Mei's serious eyes and nodded with difficulty.
"Cher, the outside world is too big, and when you get to the outside world, you will know how small you are. ”
"There's competition to be fun. Fang Xue pouted and said disapprerovantly.
"Haha, I know how my daughter would throw in the towel. Fang Mei said with a hearty laugh.
