Keiko deliberately closed the izakaya and posted a notice saying, "The owner has something to do and will be closed for the night."
Tonight is the farewell party.
Keiko's mood was obviously not high, her eyes were a little red and swollen, her makeup was smudged, and her mood was not too high. However, she did not wear a kimono today, but wore a Chinese double-breasted skirt.
She looks gentle and gentle, like Xiaojiabiyu.
Huizi personally cooked them a sumptuous dinner and made dumplings, which was in line with Chinese habits.
Send off the dumplings and pick up the cover.
Short delivery, long delivery. The implication is that separation is short-lived, but reunion is long-lasting.
"Ekeko, bring the bottle of wine I left here for you." Suzuki Takeo ordered and asked Keiko to get the wine.
"No, Uncle Suzuki, I brought wine." Zhou Sen chuckled, took out two jars of beautifully packaged "Bingyan" wine and placed it on the table, "This is the wine brewed by my winery. Although it is not aged, the taste is good." Be different."
"I've heard about the 'Bingyan' wine for a long time. Bingcheng's latest shochu is cool in the mouth, but it's like a ball of fire in the belly. The taste is incredible." Suzuki Takeo said with great joy.
"The wine you put here with Miss Huizi should wait until you meet Miss Huizi again before you drink it. I believe it will taste more fragrant and mellow!" Zhou Sen said.
"Okay, it's up to you." Suzuki Takeo laughed.
He took out a jar and peeled off the mud seal. The wine inside was like a clear spring, and the fragrance of the wine spread out instantly.
Just smelling the aroma of the wine, Suzuki Takeo felt that the glutton in his stomach had crawled into his throat. Although it was taboo for soldiers, especially agents, to drink because drinking would affect all aspects of the body's reactions, but work required, then It is inevitable, and in a cold place like Ice City, if there is no strong alcohol to keep away the cold, you will really die.
Naturally, you can’t use a small cup to drink soju, you have to use a bowl!
Zhou Sen asked Huizi to fetch three nights. How could the farewell party tonight be without a hostess? How could a woman who runs an izakaya not drink?
Why did Suzuki Takeo store a bottle of wine with her? It probably had a special meaning, and Zhou Sen didn't want to ask further.
The so-called light tea is full of wine. Naturally, the wine must be poured completely, and the wine will flow down from the mouth of the jar like a thin line.
A layer of extremely beautiful hops appears on the wine.
"Uncle Suzuki, Miss Keiko, I'd like to propose a toast to you two." Zhou Senping raised the wine bowl and drank directly after speaking.
Suzuki Takeo looked a little dumbfounded and a little embarrassed. This was strong alcohol. Zhou Sen actually drank the bowl in one go. What if he...
Miss Keiko, on the other hand, glanced at Takeo Suzuki, her eyes seeming to urge him, "You have to drink when someone proposes a toast."
Suzuki Yixiong couldn't help it. It was a good thing for a man to act like this, especially in front of his own woman. He couldn't give in anymore. He also picked up the wine bowl and drank it in three gulps.
Sure enough, the entrance was extremely sweet, as if drinking nectar, but when the wine entered my stomach, I suddenly felt a fire rising from inside.
For a moment, Suzuki Takeo was hit by this heat, and his cheeks suddenly turned red.
“Good wine!”
When Keiko saw Suzuki Takeo drink it all, she also picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp, but her expression remained unchanged, as if nothing was wrong.
Zhou Sen knew that among the three people sitting here to eat tonight, Miss Huizi was the one with the best capacity for wine and the best drinker.
Look down upon.
Zhou Sen raised the wine jar and filled it for the three of them one by one.
There is no need to drink one bowl at a time. If you drink like this, you will be drunk soon.
"Uncle Suzuki, since you went to Guannai, although you have been on a regular job, you can still be considered a promotion. I wish you a safe journey."
"Well, thank you." Suzuki Takeo nodded, took Huizi's hand and said, "I'm not in Bingcheng. Please take care of Huizi. She is helpless in Bingcheng."
Huizi Yingying bowed: "Please."
"You're welcome, Miss Huizi. You are my uncle Suzuki's confidante. I already treat you as an aunt in my heart. There is no need to say anything about taking care of someone else."
"Thanks."
"I have already bought Huizi's izakaya. I thought about it carefully. It is not safe to leave it in her hands. I might as well transfer it to you. You are the landlord of this izakaya. In this way, you will have a reason to visit and take care of Huizi. .”
"It's not a good idea. I don't get paid for my merits. Besides, even if this izakaya is handed over to Miss Huizi, it will still be safe." Zhou Sen said.
The implication is that it would not be good if someone found out that he had such a relationship with Suzuki Takeo.
Of course, he is not afraid. Even if he is found out, he can explain it. After all, there is father Anthony between him and Suzuki Takeo.
Anthony's identity has been screened, at least the Japanese have confirmed that he is not "coming to Europe", so what's the harm in his friendship with Suzuki Takeo?
At the very least, it would be better if this relationship could not be exposed.
Zhou Sen wants Huizi to have a relationship with Anthony's father. In this case, Huizi can go directly to work at "Senji" and he can take care of her nearby. As time goes by, no one will notice.
Who would stare at a worthless woman all day long?
"This izakaya was originally the property of your adoptive father Anthony, and I am just returning him to you." Suzuki Takeo explained.
"ah?"
Zhou Sen was slightly surprised. If that was the case, it would have saved him a lot of trouble.
"I am the one who really has no merit and no reward."
"Uncle Suzuki, if you just want me to help take care of Miss Keiko, there is really no need to say that."
"I'm not lying to you. I have a transfer letter signed by your adoptive father, Anthony. It has his signature on it. You can tell it by looking at it." Suzuki Takeo explained.
Zhou Sen is naturally familiar with Anthony's father's signature. Of course, as a senior agent, Suzuki Takeo can forge signatures and documents. It is a piece of cake for him. What's more, he and Anthony's father are familiar with each other. If he imitates the handwriting, Maybe he might not even be able to recognize it.
However, there is no need for Suzuki Takeo to deceive himself on this matter. Even if he is, it is well-intentioned and he thinks for himself. After all, it will save him a lot of trouble.
"Okay." Zhou Sen nodded.
Zhou Sen didn't stay in the izakaya for too long. He left more time for Suzuki Takeo and Keiko.
Coming out of the back door, the cold wind blew, which lifted my spirits and made me feel much more awake.
It's time to go back.
…
"Yu Lan, what's wrong with your feet?" Back at Ningxiang Pavilion, Bai Yulan was washing her feet under the service of A Xiang.
Seeing that the ankles in the water were swollen, he quickly squatted down to check and asked.
"It's okay. The doctor said that it is normal for pregnant women to have some edema in their feet. It will disappear in a few days." Bai Yulan said, "My swelling is pretty good. Some women are so swollen that it is difficult to get out of bed and walk." .”
"Have you seen the doctor?"
"Well, Axiang accompanied me to the Huichun Hall. Dr. Liu took a pulse. It's no problem." Bai Yulan couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled when she saw Zhou Sen's nervous look.
"Just see the doctor. If anything happens next time, call me. I'll take leave and come back to accompany you to see the doctor." Zhou Sen ordered.
"You're busy, and it's not a big deal, so I don't need to trouble you to come back. When the time comes, you will get scolded from above."
"Just scold him, I don't have to be afraid of him." Zhou Sen chuckled.
"At the orthopedic hospital, are you thinking about it and forgetting about it? Our orthopedic hospital will officially open soon, right?" Bai Yulan said.
"Oh, I was so busy that I almost forgot about this matter." Zhou Sen slapped his forehead, and he really forgot about this matter because of his busy schedule, "When will the clinic open?"
"The 1st of next month."
"April 1st?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Yeah."
"No, April 1st is April Fool's Day in the West. This is not a good day. Let's choose another day." Zhou Sen objected.
"Okay, I asked Uncle Chang to choose another day. You proposed to open this hospital, but you became the manager yourself. Even when recruiting doctors and purchasing equipment, you only gave a list. No matter what, you have to attend this clinic day no matter what." Bai Yulan said.
"I am a public official or a policeman. It would be too high-profile to attend. Otherwise, you can attend on my behalf." Zhou Sen said, "Isn't this hospital also inheriting and carrying forward the bone-setting and bruised medical skills of your Bai family?"
"Are you planning to use the hospital to legally buy and sell medicines?"
"Those who know me, madam, I don't care whether the hospital makes money or not. As long as I have access to medicines, I can either open a pharmacy or a hospital. If the volume is small, opening a clinic is enough, but if the volume is large, Then there must be a hospital to provide cover." Zhou Sen didn't hide it either.
"But we are Chinese medicine bone setting, and we basically use Chinese medicine, and what you want is Western medicine channels, right?"
"Both Chinese medicine and Western medicine are needed. If Chinese medicine has the examination methods of Western medicine, especially orthopedics, it can easily help the doctor make a diagnosis, and it will greatly shorten the length of study for an orthopedic doctor." Zhou Sen said.
"That's true." Bai Yulan said.
"Besides Yu Lan, are there others who have inherited the bone-setting medical skills of our Bai family?" Zhou Sen asked.
"You're just asking about this now?" Bai Yulan rolled her eyes at Zhou Sen and made a very resentful sound.
"Really?"
"Yes, but they are not from my father's branch, but from my aunt's branch. However, my aunt is not in Bingcheng. She married far away to Tongliao. My uncle's surname is Cai. As long as I can remember, there has been no contact between our two families. "Bai Yulan said, "Ever since you wanted to open this orthopedic hospital and find someone to take charge, I thought of my aunt and uncle's family, so I wrote a letter and sent it to them. I don't know if they received it, and I still haven't heard of it yet. No reply."
"Then if it's my own family, I'll be more at ease. I'll try to find out more. As long as it has a name and is still in Tongliao, I will definitely be able to find it." Zhou Sen said.
