True Martial Arts - 002 Wind Rises
It's a late night in Tokyo, and it's full of lights.
Liu Chen took down a large bag from a taxi and opened the door of the "izakaya" operated by his family in the shopping street, but the unfamiliar scene in the house made him stunned in place, and his face was full of confusion.
There was originally a small family dining room with a few tables, a few small tables and chairs, but now when the door is opened, it is a spacious and bright storefront, with about twenty tables and chairs neatly arranged.
Liu Chen looked down at the old door lock that had not yet pulled out the key, and his expression changed from dazed to confused.
One step, two or three steps, he retreated into the streets of the shopping street.
turned on the mobile phone flashlight and shone on the storefront sign on the third floor:
"Lao Yanagi Chinese Restaurant"
The text is mottled and archaic.
Of course, this "old willow" refers to Liu Chen's grandfather, who went to sea very early to work hard, and he can be regarded as making a name for himself in a foreign country.
A while ago, the old man passed away with a smile on the rocking chair in the old house in his hometown, and the night before the old man's life died, Liu Chen, who had just come out of the ivory tower of the university, was firmly clasped by the old man's wrist:
"I still have some property in Dongying, you take care of it. ”
Liu Chen, who didn't understand the meaning of the old man's words at that time, nodded vigorously in agreement:
"Don't worry, grandpa, I will arrange it, and I won't let your life's work go to waste. ”
Only then did the old man let go of his hand and patted Liu Chen's palm
"The old guests are very talkative and will take care of you, although Xiao Chen, you have never learned cooking skills, but the old man, I was also a kitchen chores, I can learn everything slowly, as long as you have the heart to ......"
Liu Chen: ???
Then, there was the present scene.
With the old man's testament and the property certificate, Liu Chen, who had just left the campus, took a flight to Toying, Tokyo.
Liu Chen has a deep memory of this "Lao Liu Chinese Cuisine" house in the old shopping street, and he has its shadow at every stage of foreign travel when he was a child.
"That's right, this is it!"
After checking the signboard, the town location, I am sure that it is impossible to make a mistake.
Liu Chen turned to doubt and muttered to himself: "Didn't my father redecorate it when my grandfather was still alive, in order to please my grandfather, let the old man go more peacefully?"
But when Liu Chen walked into the storefront, his handbag was dropped on the wooden floor.
I felt the "renovated" store space in person.
He hissed:
"This old house, the internal space cliff can't have this area!"
I went out again and again to observe the old houses and shopping streets.
After a while, Liu Chen whispered "I've seen the hell", and stuffed the big bags and small bags outside the door back to the house first.
Locked the door, Liu Chen's heart was pounding, and he continued to check the storefront.
The area has increased, but the pattern has not changed.
A bar counter and open kitchen stand at the corner of the staircase.
Strangely enough, neatly stacked plates and bowls, kitchen utensils hung on shelves, and stovetops scattered out......
Clean and new!
Liu Chen hurriedly opened a small stairwell door behind the open kitchen, which was originally the ingredient storage room of "Lao Liu Chinese Cuisine".
Pushing open the door, Liu Chen couldn't help but inhale again, and the once small storage room became a warehouse with several shelves.
Fortunately, the shelves are empty, and there are no ingredients in sight.
Otherwise, Liu Chen really suspected that his old store was inexplicably occupied, not without this kind of news, the house that had been idle for many years, the owner suddenly took the time to take a look, holding the grass, and other strangers had already lived......
Closing the library door, Liu Chen returned to the front desk.
He noticed something strange.
A chill ran down his spine.
If his memory is not wrong, and he is not in a trance, everything is new at the bar just now.
But after returning from the round, Liu Chen found an extra wooden sign on the open bar.
The sign still stands on a slotted pedestal.
Above, the handwriting is simple, and the traditional Chinese characters read:
"Grilled herring".
Is this today's menu?
Or, a guest flipped the card?!
Just when Liu Chen was suspicious and suspicious.
A virtual panel hovers above the open bar:
"The late-night cafeteria management simulator has been activated!"
"The current business world has been simulated, welcome to the world of martial arts!"
"In this simulation, your optional talents are 'Martial Arts Wizard', 'Copper Skin and Iron Bone', 'Heavenly Remnant', and 'Son of Luck'......
"Please choose 3 of the above talents. 」
"This simulated business journey officially kicked off......
The panel hasn't gone away yet.
"Bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
The door was smashed and hammered.
"Store ......"
The shouts outside were in Chinese instead of Dongying.
The smashing continued.
Liu Chen said "holding grass" in his heart, his face was full of confusion, he had time to savor the talents of the simulator, many of which were golden.
I can only go and hurriedly open the door.
Outside the door, a fleet of chariots was mighty.
The one who smashed the door just now was a man who looked like the leader of the guards:
"Shop, can you tip and stay here?"
The leader of the guards, dressed in gorgeous light armor, glanced into the storefront, and his eyes were immediately filled with surprise and disbelief.
He hurriedly hugged the "shopkeeper" Liu Chen, and the etiquette of the rivers and lakes was very sufficient, completely without the roughness of slamming the door loudly just now.
The leader of the guards hurried back to one of the chariots in the convoy and whispered something to the figures sitting in the tabernacle.
After a while, the guards carrying the sedan chair lowered the chariots:
"The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. ”
There are beautiful maids scattering flowers all around.
A swordsman in a snow-white robe slowly walked out.
His skin was white and shiny, and his black hair wore a crown of sandalwood beads.
The pace is very slow, very slow.
Now.
Looking at the handsome swordsman who walked slowly to the door of the store, Liu Chen seemed to have a stylish appearance music in his head.
"Baiyun City Lord, Flying Immortals Outside the Sky, Ye Gucheng?" Liu Chen's mind rumbled.
Ye Gucheng walked to the door of the store, and also glanced at the store, and his pupils shrank
Behind the door is a spacious, bright and brand new storefront.
The decoration style, although with some ancient charm, is more of a modern aesthetic of simplicity, elegance and freshness.
Let's be honest.
As the lord of a city, a top martial arts master, no matter how luxurious the palace, Ye Gucheng has not lived in it.
But the "style" here is definitely the first time that the "Flying Immortals" Ye Gucheng has seen.
The consternation and suspicion in his eyes were no less than that of the head of the guard just now.
It's not even disguised.
"Where is this?!"
Ye Gucheng's voice was very light and thin, with a kind of immortal-like indifference and calmness.
"Iron Juice, why do I want to ask...... Where is this?!" Liu Chen's gaze passed over the man and looked at the scene outside the main entrance.
It's no longer an old shopping street in the dead of night.
Rather, it is an open official roadside.
Not far away, there is a silver moon hanging high above the eaves of the long pavilion on the outskirts of the city.
Then look into the night in the distance.
A magnificent ancient capital, the lights are on, and you can faintly hear the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras.
There is no doubt about it.
This is outside the gates of a certain big city!
Having said that, how did his own "Lao Liu Chinese Cuisine" travel through time and space and be confused here?
"Late-night cafeteria management simulator!"
Liu Chen's mind was shocked, and he seemed to suddenly understand the cause and effect.
Ye Gucheng also withdrew his gaze to look curiously at the store, and said to the "shopkeeper" with a very standard Jianghu etiquette:
"In the Lonely City of the Lower Leaves!"
"Three days later, I competed with the West Gate of Wanmei Villa at the top of the Forbidden City. ”
"I happened to pass by your store outside the imperial city, and it was a curfew late at night, so it was not easy to enter the city to live in the store, and I hope the store can let me nag for a night!"
At this time, Ye Gucheng almost completely let go of his arrogance and contempt.
To the "shopkeeper" of a post store next to the official road, he was polite.
If other people from the rivers and lakes were present, the news would spread throughout the imperial city within a few days.
And when Ye Gucheng visited the store.
On Liu Chen's retina, a virtual interface suddenly popped up:
"Business Mission: Entertain Ye Gucheng 0/1. 」
"Get rewarded - 1000 positive ratings. 」
"The business goal of this world simulation: 0/3000 positive rating (you can return to the original world after the business goal is completed). 」
