"Ding! Ding! Ding..."
Before he even reached the blacksmith shop, Chen Yao heard the rhythmic sound of blacksmithing.
"Good morning, Mr. Hongbeard."
"Oh! It's your kid, what? Is there anything else you want me to collect?"
Hongxu stopped what he was doing and took a sip of wine.
"No, Mr. Hongbeard, didn't you say before that you can become friends with the dwarves by inviting them to drink... So do you have time today?"
Chen Yao asked seriously.
"Oh? You really want to invite me to drink? You have to think clearly! Inviting a dwarf to drink is not by the cup, but by the bucket! By the bucket! Do you understand?"
Hongxu reminded Chen Yao with a smile.
"Of course I know! I'm well prepared for today!"
"Dang!" Chen Yao took out the beer bucket.
"Oh? A barrel of beer? It's okay, but it's almost noon and I'm a little hungry..."
Hong Xiu whispered.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hongsu, I have asked the chef at Wangyue Tower to start preparing the food and drinks. They should be delivered in a while."
Chen Yao held the beer bucket with one hand and said with a smile.
"Oh? So well prepared? You come with good wine and meat! You are the dwarf's good friend! Hahahahahaha!"
Hongxu stopped what he was doing, picked up the beer bucket with one hand, and slapped Chen Yao on the back with the other, making a banging sound.
"Let's go inside! Let's drink!"
"No hurry, Mr. Hongsu, the drinks and food haven't arrived yet."
Just as he was talking, a snow-white figure quickly approached.
"You are here, Mr. Chenyao."
The visitor is Xiaojie, the maid of Wangyue Tower.
"Xiaojie? The food and drinks are ready so quickly?"
"Yes, what the boss asked the chefs to cook in a hurry is all here, hehe!"
Xiaojie took out a large bamboo basket covered with red cloth from the binding ring and put it on the ground with difficulty.
"Well, please make a trip and calculate how much it will cost."
"No, no! I can't take your money, but..."
After hearing this, Chen Yao felt something bad.
"The boss said that you must go to Wangyue Tower to have a drink with her later today! Otherwise, we will never give you any discounts again!"
A blush appeared on Xiaojie's face, apparently she had figured out something strange on her own.
"Okay, okay... you go back and tell her that I will be there. If nothing happens, just go back as soon as possible."
Chen Yao shook his head in frustration, picked up the bamboo basket and dragged Hong Xu towards the inner room of the blacksmith shop.
"Hey, you little guy, why do you look so reluctant?!"
Hong Xu scratched his bare head, his tone full of incomprehension.
"Wangyue Tower is the second largest restaurant in Shenmu Town! The chef's cooking skills and the flavor of the dishes are unparalleled, and even the maids are top-notch!"
"Besides, the boss of Wangyue Tower is still single. He is at most thirty years old. His figure and appearance are amazing!"
"Boom!"
Hongxu became angrier as he talked and knocked the wine barrel to the ground.
"The people chasing her have all lined up outside the town! You kid is so blessed that you don't know how to be blessed! You still look so reluctant! Are you here to make me angry on purpose?!"
"Mr. Hongxu, please don't be angry. I...I am also suffering from something that I can't tell you!"
Chen Yao pulled a bitter look and moved closer to Hong Xu.
"If there is a tiger in the house, picking flowers is a sin! You don't understand, do you?"
Hearing this, Hong Xu was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bitter expression that understood.
"I understand. You kid, alas! I thought you were single, but I didn't expect that we are inseparable brothers! Alas..."
Hongxu patted Chen Yao on the shoulder to express comfort.
"Stop talking, let's go for a walk! Eat meat! Drink wine!"
Hongxu took Chenyao into the inner room, and then opened an extremely hidden wooden door that led to the underground. The two of them went down the stairs...
The further they went down, the higher the temperature became. After walking up more than a dozen steps, the two entered an underground space filled with fiery red.
"Ding-ding! Ding-ding! Ding-ding..."
Several large furnaces in the underground space are burning with raging fires. The sound of gold and iron can be heard endlessly. Several figures are busy and banging around the furnaces...
"Mr. Hongsu, this is??"
"Everyone in the town knows that I, Hong Xi, am the owner of the blacksmith shop, but not many people know that I am not the only blacksmith in this blacksmith shop."
"On the surface, I am working outside all day long, but in fact, I am just a facade, because my tribesmen deal with the furnace all day long and are not good at sociability."
"Hey, it's me, Hong Xiu. My blacksmithing skills are the worst among the clan, but I'm pretty good at social aspects."
"That's it..."
"Okay! Everyone, stop what you are doing! Come over and have a drink!"
After Hong Xu roared at the top of his lungs, the sound of gold and iron stopped instantly.
"What? Have a drink??"
"Where is it?!"
"Father! Who is he?"
More than a dozen dwarves instantly stopped what they were doing and surrounded the two. Among these dwarves, a younger-looking dwarf man looked at Chen Yao curiously.
"Introduction... uh, young man, what's your name?"
Hongxu approached Chenyao and asked softly.
"It's okay, Mr. Hongsu, I will do it myself."
"Ahem...my name is Chen Yao, and I'm here today to make friends with you all."
Putting down the bamboo basket in his hand, Chen Yao took out a jar of bamboo leaf green and a jar of female red from the binding ring.
“Plus this keg of beer, that’s how sincere I am.”
"What?! Master Monkey made Zhuyeqing and Nuerhong! I've been wanting to drink this for a long time!"
Hongxu dropped the beer bucket and hugged the wine jar.
"McGonagall! You are too shameful! Get up!"
A female dwarf on the side grabbed Redbeard's red beard.
"Ouch! Get up, get up!"
"I'm so sorry, Chen Yao, my husband is a glutton for wine and made you laugh!"
"it does not matter."
"Mr. Hongsu, don't you want to introduce me?"
"Well, as you can see, they are all my people, Darlene Heavyhammer, my wife, this is Dolan Redbeard, my son, this is my brother Kemer Redbeard and his His wife, Sara Heavyhammer, his daughter, Farah Redbeard, and several others..."
Hongxu introduced his clan members one by one.
"My name is Mag Red Beard. People outside call me Hong Beard. In fact, this represents our entire clan."
"Okay, Mr. McGonagall."
Suddenly Hong Xu came closer to Chen Yao and whispered in his ear.
"Chen Yao, what do you think of my niece? She is about the same age as you. Don't worry about the one in your family. Let me tell you, a real man can never stop with just one wife! If..."
"Uncle Mag! I'm not deaf yet!" Farah stomped the ground loudly and said a little shyly.
By the light of the fire, Chen Yao carefully observed the girl in front of him.
Dwarves are generally around 1.6 meters tall. Perhaps because they are girls, Farah's figure is a bit thinner than that of her tribe, but she is still stronger than normal girls. After all, she is exposed to the furnace every day...
Looking at the girl's facial features, well, they are quite delicate, with a small nose and lips, and piercing eyes.
The dwarf girl isn't bad either... She just has a few freckles on her face and her skin is a bit drier. Well, she can at least get a seven out of 10!
"How is it?" Mag nudged Chen Yao with his elbow.
"A good girl should find a good family!"
Chen Yao admired Lafa for a while, and with these words, the girl who was originally unsociable became even more shy...
"I'm talking about you! We dwarves don't marry our daughters, unless it's..."
"Okay, okay, brother! Really, aren't you here to drink?"
Kaimo Hongxu interrupted the conversation between the two, and Chen Yao was a little embarrassed when he came back to his senses.
"Yes, yes, let's drink and drink! The food and drinks are getting cold! Where can we eat?"
Chen Yao tried to smooth things over.
"Right here, sit down and start drinking! Chen Yao, you don't care about this, do you?"
"I don't care, I don't care!" Chen Yao waved his hand and sat cross-legged on the floor.
"Okay! Dwarves like uncouth friends! Dolan, go get the beer mug and bowls and chopsticks!"
"I know, Father."
Chen Yao opened the bamboo basket and put out the dishes, some of which were cold dishes and some of which were steaming hot.
"Wow! Looks great!"
Rafa clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking forward to it.
"Of course, this is the dish that little guy Chen Yao ordered from Wangyue Tower!" Mag raised his head, feeling a little proud.
But then he turned his head and whispered to Chen Yao.
"Chen Yao, you're here today not just to make friends, right?"
"Mr. Mag, let's drink wine and eat meat, let's not talk about this for now." Chen Yao picked up a roasted chicken leg and started to chew on it.
"Okay! Come! Clan members, cheers to the new friend Chen Yao we have made!"
Mag raised his glass and said boldly.
"cheers!!!"
