Strange Worlds: The Sequence - Chapter 143

Chapter 143 Restaurant

The drizzle is continuous, like countless cow hairs, floating quietly, floating.

After the stung, the weather suddenly warmed up, the mountains were green, the willows sprouted new buds, and the mountains and plains were shrouded in gauze-like rain and fog, fresh, moist, and picturesquely beautiful.

The sycamore tree in the center of Weiyang County has a powerful trunk, and it looks like boundless fireworks from a distance, bathed in the sun.

Peony-like light red leaves bloom on the branches. Most of the time, the sun will shine down from the sparse gaps, filling the ground with shadowy light and shadow.

Whenever the sycamore leaves turn red, it means that the sycamore tree is about to bear fruit.

also means that the Mingfeng Banquet is about to start.

Recruit relatives!

These two big characters hit the hearts of many young and middle-aged talents in the world, making them very excited.

The beauties on the national beauty list are like Fengyuan Pavilion in Japan.

For all ambitious people, this is definitely a fatal temptation. As long as you can enter the Fengyuan Pavilion, you can gain both wealth and sex. It is no exaggeration to say that you can save decades of struggle!

Those who received the invitation to Mingfeng Banquet were thrilled, while those who did not received it were dejected.

Not everyone is eligible to participate in this martial arts contest to recruit relatives. Only martial arts heroes who have received invitations from Fengyuan Pavilion are eligible to participate in this feast.

three days left.

On February 14th, young heroes from all over the world gathered in Chaofeng Inner City, preparing to participate in this much-anticipated contest to recruit relatives.

Chaofeng Inner City, the inner city of Weiyang County, Chang’an Prefecture, is also the place where the Indus Sacred Tree and Fengyuan Pavilion are located.

Weiyang County is the most prosperous city in the northwestern region of the Southern Ming Dynasty. In the inner city of Chaofeng, there are many restaurants and shops, and a street full of red-sleeved brothels. The traffic is smooth, and there is an endless stream of guests every day.

I have to say that the Jinshang Merchant Gang is really good at making money. Fengyuan Pavilion is one of the supporters behind the former.

The monthly tax of Weiyang County alone is an astronomical figure.

Although this is the area of ​​Nanming.

But the real speaker is Fengyuan Pavilion.

Mingfeng Banquet recruiting sons-in-law made the whole Weiyang County lively, and Chaofeng Inner City was already prosperous, although there is still some time before the meal time, any restaurant is already full of people.

Chen Yuyan managed to find a table near the wall and sat down, ordered a few small dishes and drinks and started eating.

Listening to the noisy conversation and eating a little wine, it is also pleasant.

Although there was nothing important, one could hear some interesting things from it. Chen Yuyan just ate and drank like this, and before he knew it, it was time for dinner. The number of people in the restaurant gradually increased, and the hall began to become lively.

“Guys, there is really no room in our small shop, why don’t you guys go and look elsewhere?” At this moment, the voice of the waiter came from the door.

“Go somewhere else! Where else can I go?” At this time someone said viciously, “I’ve been walking around this poor place! This is the last one, and every one says there is no place! Are we going to stand outside to eat?” No?”

“Shut up!” The other person shouted in a low voice, “This is Chaofeng Inner City, what are we here for, don’t you know? Honestly, don’t cause trouble for me by talking nonsense!”

“Um…”

The man suddenly lost his voice.

“Xiao Er, we don’t want any good place, we just need a table to eat something.” The man who scolded his subordinates said to the shop Xiao Er in a friendly manner, “We don’t want to monopolize it either, see if you can find us a place ?”

“This…” The waiter’s embarrassed voice came from the door again, “Guest officer, the seats are indeed full, otherwise there is no reason to drive the customers out?”

“How about this, can you see if you can share a table with other guests? Or you can wait here for a while.”

“That’s fine too.” The speaker replied after pondering for a moment.

“Master, leave this matter to me!” Someone said there.

Originally, Chen Yuyan was sitting and drinking comfortably, and didn’t notice this, but there was a sound of footsteps in his ears, followed by a snap, and a silver ingot was thrown in front of Chen Yuyan.

Chen Yuyan frowned slightly, looked up, and saw a big man in a short skirt standing beside him, looking at Chen Yuyan, curled his lips, showing a trace of disdain.

“Here’s the silver for you!” The big man said to Chen Yuyan, “Take the silver and leave quickly! We’ve used this table!”

“You guys use this table? Why?”

Chen Yuyan didn’t get angry, and said leisurely after drinking fine wine.

“Why?”

The man was stunned for a moment, and a flash of anger flashed across his face, probably because no one had ever talked to him like this before. He wanted to get angry at first, but when he thought about where this place was and what they were here for, he immediately suppressed his anger. pressed.

“That’s all!”

He laughed sinisterly, stretched out his hand, pressed the silver ingot with his hand, wiped it on the table, and when he picked it up again, the silver ingot had turned into a silver cake.

A few diners watching the scene shrank their necks slightly when they saw this scene, and just pressed it like this, and they pressed the ingot into a silver cake without making a fuss. With this palm force, this man has definitely entered the location.

External Scene The martial artist can be considered a master in the northwest martial arts, and ordinary people cannot be offended.

“Why, is this enough?” The man looked at Chen Yuyan triumphantly and asked.

“Tsk tsk…” Chen Yuyan smacked her lips, “It’s such a waste of fine silver that it’s been pressed into silver cakes. It’s such a pity.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the silver cake lightly, without seeing how hard Chen Yuyan was, the piece of silver that was pressed into a silver cake was directly squeezed into a silver ball.

Seeing this, the big man’s eyes immediately became dignified, and the surrounding spectators whispered, the money in the hands of these two people is like a piece of dough, it can be as round as it wants, and it can be flat as it wants.

“My friend, do you really want to give up your seat?” The big man looked at Chen Yuyan and asked in a deep voice.

“Just because of this?” Chen Yuyan tossed the piece of silver in his hand, “It’s really not good!” After finishing speaking, he slapped the silver piece in front of the big man.

“Crack!” Chen Yuyan took his hand away and looked at it again, only to see that the piece of silver was embedded into the thick tabletop, and it fit perfectly!

The table is made of high-quality wood, which is strong and hard. It is not difficult to crack the table with a slap, and even a big man can easily do it by himself. It is difficult to enter this table.

Seeing this scene, the sweat on the big man’s forehead suddenly flowed down, he knew what he was today.

I’m afraid I kicked it on the iron board!

But this is not over yet, Chen Yuyan sighed again, “It’s you who made me so angry, this good table has been made a hole, I’m here to eat, not to hurt people’s business.”

While talking, Chen Yuyan tapped casually on the table with the chopsticks in his hand.

There was a soft sound of “Duo!”, “Snap!” The piece of silver jumped out of the table by itself, fell on the table, and rolled several times.

Chen Yuyan squeezed the silver in his hand, threw it back, and landed on the shopkeeper’s desk with incomparable accuracy.

“Shopkeeper, you keep this money as compensation.”

Seeing this scene, the sweat on the big man’s face was even heavier, which was much more severe than that pinched by Chen Yuyan just now.

Before, I pressed it with my hands more or less, but this time I didn’t even touch the piece of silver. I knocked on the table with chopsticks and pushed the silver out.

It seems simple, but it is a kind of extremely strong control over internal force.

“Hmph, you’re so defiant! Are you aware of it now?” At this moment, an unpleasant lecture came from behind the man.

The big man trembled all over, turned his head and cupped his hands behind him.

“Hall Master.”

I saw a slender and handsome young man standing behind the big man. He snorted coldly at the big man:

“I’m just going to arrange other things first. I asked you to come over early to find a place for lunch, and this kind of thing happened!”

“How many times have I told you that although you are my cousin, this is not the reason for your mischief. You have been used to bullying the weak in the past, but this time you met the iron plate? Go back and take ten clean plates as punishment. If The next time I do it again, I’ll see you!”

“Yes, yes, thank you, hall master.” The big man showed joy when he heard it, and he clasped his fists again and again to thank him.

“Don’t back down!” The young man snorted coldly and shouted at the man.

“Yes…” The man quickly stood up and stood behind the young man.

The young man looked at Chen Yuyan with a smile on his face and a gentle demeanor. He seemed very friendly. Then he clasped his fists and said to Chen Yuyan: “Brother Yu is arrogant and indulgent. I have caused trouble for the young hero. Forgive me. I hope you can forgive me for that The unsatisfactory form, in the future, I will sit in the manor and taste fine wine, and then I will ask the young hero to show me my face.”

“Oh, by the way, I met Shaoxia when I was in Chuji River. I don’t know what the name of Shaoxia is?”

“Tianhehui’s Chaotian Gun” Chu Jihe?”

Chen Yuyan glanced at him and recognized his identity. Although Chu Jihe’s behavior seemed to protect the big man, but seeing that he kept his figure very low and was very sincere, he didn’t feel angry.

Tianhehui is one of the few top forces in the northwest martial arts, and it is one of the seven great gangs along with the Twelve Links and the Beggars’ Gang.

Chu Jihe is the most dazzling young talent in the Tianhe Society except for the young master nicknamed “Ba Dao”, but he became the head of the Tianhe Society in his early twenties.

“Li Qingsong.” Chen Yuyan spoke concisely.

“It turned out to be Brother Li!” Hearing this, Chu Jihe’s face was startled, and he quickly clasped his fists in return, “It turned out to be Li Qingsong and Li Shaoxia, the ‘heart demon’, disrespectful and disrespectful! Li Shaoxia escorted Mr. Nantang’s eldest daughter thousands of miles away, and there are almost no one in the Northwest Wulin. I don’t know, no one doesn’t know, I’m so impressed!”

Chen Yuyan’s reputation is very famous now. Although he is a person in the evil way, he is covered by Qi Cangsheng’s name, and he has no other bad deeds. The prestige came even worse.

Especially Tianhehui is not considered to be an orthodox sect.

Following the conversation between the two, the man behind Chu Jihe’s expression became very ugly, which he never expected.

I just offended someone casually, but I met someone I couldn’t afford to provoke!

“Heart Demon” Li Qingsong, this is a martial arts hero in the top 100 of the Qing Yun Ranking, even his cousin Chu Jihe is not as good as him.

“Hehe, I have admired Mr. Chu’s name for a long time.” Chen Yuyan said with a smile, “It is fate to meet each other. If Mr. Chu doesn’t dislike it, how about sitting down and chatting together?”

“Chu can’t wait for it!” Chu Jihe smiled slightly, and sat down without any hesitation, “Since I met everyone today, let Chu be the host! Er, serve us some more dishes!”

Chu Jihe doesn’t order many dishes, unlike those so-called young and rich princes, one order is a table of dishes, and only the expensive ones are selected, not the right ones, no matter whether they are good or not, only the expensive ones are served.

Although he ordered only four or five side dishes, they were exquisite, complete with meat and vegetables, and full of flavors. It seemed that he was a master of this dish.

Moreover, Chu Jihe himself is also very talkative, whether it is anecdotes from the rivers and lakes or secret affairs of the court, he can pick up and talk about it.

Coupled with his elegant speech and demeanor, as well as his extraordinary demeanor, he can really fascinate countless girls in the boudoir.

After chatting for a while and drinking a few glasses of wine, Chu Jihe suddenly asked, “Brother Li is also here to attend the Mingfeng Banquet?”

“Exactly.” Chen Yuyan nodded.

Chen Yuyan said this, and saw that Chu Jihe’s expression tightened obviously.

However, he went on to say, “However, I just came to see the selection of a son-in-law this time, to gain experience and get to know the heroes of the younger generation. I have no interest in the position of the son-in-law of Fengyuan Pavilion.”

“Why?” Chu Jihe lowered his head and took a sip of wine, “Brother Li, you are a hero today, a rare young hero in the world. If you want to choose a son-in-law, you will have a great hope of success?”

“Hehe, Brother Chu is asking the question clearly, right?” Chen Yuyan laughed and shook his head, “I, Li Qingsong, live my whole life at ease. How can I stick to this narrow Weiyang County and be a conservative?”

Chu Jihe nodded, “That’s such a pity. With Brother Li’s strength, he is the most popular candidate.” Chu Jihe nodded lightly, with regret on his face, but Chen Yuyan knew very well Feeling it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Why, does this Chu Jihe have any thoughts about entering the Fengyuan Pavilion? Chen Yuyan is a little puzzled. As the head of the Tianhe Society, how could Chu Jihe value the identity of this son-in-law?

But seeing his appearance, Chen Yuyan was also very interesting and didn’t ask any more questions.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of shouting and cursing on the street, which was very ear-piercing.

Although there are many people from all walks of life in Chaofeng Neicheng, it is reasonable to say that one or two conflicts are not surprising.

But this time is different, this time Fengyuan Pavilion is selecting a son-in-law, as long as the people who come here are for the position of that son-in-law, if there is a big trouble and it spreads to the ears of Fengyuan Pavilion, it will definitely not have a good impression.

“Qi Zhou, I think you can escape there this time!”
