"I'm not afraid that you won't pay me, but the wine you charge is too cheap. Those wines are drunk by servants like us, so I'm afraid they won't be worthy of your status." The waiter tried his best to speak tactfully. A little more.
"Let me tell you, we are not afraid of not being worthy of our status, so what are you worried about?" Qi Zhen said with a straight face.
The waiter looked at the sullen expressions on the faces of the two girls, Jiang Yan and Meng Ran, and said bravely: "Let me tell you, there are only two kinds of cheap wine, one is local Shaojiu, and the other is our local homemade wine. The rice wine brewed is not worth much. If it is cooked in the earth, it will cost fifty cents a pot, and a pot of rice wine will cost thirty cents. You see..."
"Rice wine is good, rice wine nourishes people, don't you think?" Qi Zhen glanced at the others, but actually had no intention of asking others, and then said: "Just drink rice wine, just drink rice wine, give it to me Bring five pots first!"
"I said Qi, why are you so picky?" Jiang Yan said after the waiter left reluctantly.
"How can this be called picking? This is called knowing how to live, you know?" Qi Zhen quibbled.
"Are we short of money?" Meng Ran asked next.
"It's not a matter of lack of money, it's a spirit of being prepared for danger in times of peace. We don't know how many difficulties are waiting for us in the future. After all, we don't have any source of income, so we naturally have to be more careful. Am I right? ?" Qi Zhen said.
"That's right, you're just picking." Meng Ran said.
"Oh, isn't there going to be some action at night? It's unreasonable to be drunk, isn't it? Drink something low-alcohol, low-alcohol is good." Qi Zhen emphasized again.
Meng Ran and Jiang Yan didn't want to talk to him and said no more.
After a while, the food was finally put on the table. At the same time, five pots of rice wine were also placed in front of everyone. Qi Zhen picked up the pot without any embarrassment and said with a smile: "We don't need cups, just grab a pot and make it." Come on, do it!”
At this time, Li San suddenly appeared, sat next to Qi Zhen, and said, "I figured it out."
"What have you been doing?" Qi Zhen asked.
Li San picked up the only wine bottle left on the table, raised his neck and took a sip, smacking his lips: "This thing has faded away."
"The best wine here." Qi Zhen said.
"Tch." Jiang Yan and Meng Ran said in unison.
Qi Zhen is not picky, at least he doesn't think so.
This meal was actually very inappropriate for the occasion.
Qi Zhen's worry is not unreasonable. The team will go on a mission next, and it is not easy to judge whether this mission is good or bad. If everyone is killed by the enemy instantly, it will be easy to handle. I am afraid that the team will win miserably in the end. But he was unable to face the other tasks arranged by the system.
So whether it's big fish, meat or delicacies, it doesn't mean much to everyone in the current team.
Not to mention something like wine that can cause trouble.
Apart from making everyone remember Lin Xiao and then get drunk, it will not have any other effect.
But the team actually has big problems now, both in terms of atmosphere and personal status.
Those who show it to the outside are like Yu Liang, and those who don't show it are like Li Qiang.
Qi Zhen can only think of ways to cheer up these teammates at this moment, but how can she cheer up her teammates from the bottom of her heart?
Probably just use your shortcomings to make them happy.
Fortunately it turned out pretty good.
"I just went to listen secretly and figured out why these people became so surprised when we came back here." Li San said.
"Why?"
This time, not only Qi Zhen, Jiang Yan and Meng Ran, but also Li Qiang pricked up their ears.
"I don't know which one it is. They say that there are some weirdos coming to the inn. They were obviously introduced by Boss Zhang. They are supposed to be not short of money, but five people are crowded into a room and I don't know what they are doing in there..." Li Three said.
"The five people mentioned..." Qi Zhen said.
"Could it be..." Jiang Yan continued.
"That's us?!" Meng Ran added the last sentence.
Li San nodded: "No, rumors spread quickly, and now they all come to see us."
"What's there to see here?" Qi Zhen asked.
"You don't even know. Some said that the three men and two women were not ashamed in the house. Some said that the three men and two concubines that Zhang Dacai had taken were hiding in the gold house. Some said that Zhang Dacai was hiding in the gold house. I bought two top brands in Hangzhou. I was afraid that my two wives at home would be unhappy, so I asked my friends to take care of them first... Anyway, they are rumored to be evil," Li San said.
"This is all a mess." Meng Ran said.
"I wasn't here before, how could I know what you did?" Li San spread his hands, raised the wine bottle and took another sip.
"Captain, does this scene feel familiar to you?" Qi Zhen suddenly asked Li Qiang at this moment.
Li Qiang nodded.
When the team first entered the game, they were also watched by the local people in Suzhou because of their strange clothes. Then they hurried to the clothing store, met the shopkeeper of the clothing store, and the following events happened.
"If it can be called a coincidence once, then if it happens the second time, I have to be suspicious." Qi Zhen said.
"I'm afraid this is the system's way of urging us to act as soon as possible. If we fail to do so, then this kind of fearful pressure from public opinion will probably intensify, and eventually even develop to the point of being out of control." Qi Zhen analyzed.
"What should we do?" Meng Ran asked.
"We don't know if this matter will get out of hand, so what we have to do now is to eat quickly. I'm afraid the time to visit Zhang Dacai's residence will be earlier."
After hearing Qi Zhen's words, everyone stopped teasing and nodded.
After eating quickly and settling the bill, the five people quickly left the inn under the disdainful gaze of the waiter and the gazes of other people in the inn.
Before leaving, Qi Zhen called the waiter to her side, asked Zhang Dacai where he lived, and warned him: "Last night, a group of us came to Wuhu City, and only you who received us saw it. I don't want anything else to happen." Rumors leak out from here, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, I understand." Xiao Er said with fear.
As for the spread of subsequent rumors after Qi Zhen and the others left, about wild flowers arriving on the doorstep and the bitch wanting to be the master of the house, they probably would never have the chance to know.
The five people arrived at Zhang Dacai's mansion without stopping.
Although Zhang Dacai is a well-known local businessman, his family is not very luxurious and his house is not eye-catching.
Several members of the team had a good impression of Zhang Dacai. Therefore, although they could not be said to have full confidence in Zhang Dacai's character, they still did not believe that he would intentionally do anything to help others.
Qi Zhen stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was an old man who looked like a housekeeper. He was stunned when he saw the unfamiliar faces in front of him and asked tentatively: "Who are you..."
Qi Zhen smiled and clasped her fists and said, "Please tell Boss Zhang that it's an old friend from Liyang who came to visit and I'm sorry to bother you."
The butler was not arrogant at all. He only said that a few guests would wait a moment and allowed the villain to report back to the young master.
Listening to the old housekeeper's tone, Qi Zhen knew that he must have served the two heads of the Zhang family, and he should be the old man here.
"Sorry to trouble you." Qi Zhen said politely.
"No trouble, no trouble."
Not long after, the middle door opened wide, and the old housekeeper introduced the four people into the living room and served them tea.
With a burst of hearty laughter.
"Dear immortal masters, why are you in such a leisurely mood to visit me today? It's really wonderful."
Before Zhang Dacai's figure appeared in front of them, his voice had already reached everyone's ears.
"Excuse me." Qi Zhen looked at Zhang Dacai who was walking into the house, stood up and said with a smile.
"What are you so polite about? I haven't even had time to thank you all for taking the trouble to escort me all the way. I was thinking of going to visit you after processing this batch of goods in two days, but I didn't expect you to come first." Zhang Dacai said with a smile.
"I wonder how Brother Zhang's goods are selling?" Qi Zhen asked.
"To be honest with you, it's all thanks to the old housekeeper at home, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with this guy." Zhang Dacai said, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"So, the buyers have been found?" Qi Zhen asked.
"No, early this morning, Uncle Zong visited door to door to sell this batch of goods. As a result, this batch of goods was sold out before lunch time." Zhang Dacai said with a smile.
"Everywhere, the young master is smart and discerning, and the goods he brings back are good. I just helped the young master run errands, and actually didn't do anything." The old housekeeper beside him said with a humble face.
"You can't say that. If you hadn't been by my side to encourage me, and this time you told me that the tobacco business in Ningbo could make a lot of money, how would I have done this? You can say that you took all the credit. ." Zhang Dacai said with a smile.
"No, it's the young master who knows how to make progress. The younger one is just giving you advice, so how can I get any credit?" The old housekeeper waved his hands repeatedly.
When Qi Zhen heard this, she looked at Li Qiang.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Dacai said to the old housekeeper beside him: "Uncle Zong, I haven't introduced you yet. These are the people I told you about this morning. They went to Shushan to seek immortality. They escorted me here all the way." , extremely hard.”
Then he looked at Qi Zhen and the other four and introduced: "This is the old housekeeper of my family. I usually call him Uncle Zong. He has always been by my father's side and he was the one who raised me when I was little."
The four members of Qi Zhen's team nodded to him.
"If I had known it was the immortal masters that the young master told me, how could I dare to let the distinguished guests wait outside the door for so long." The old housekeeper said politely.
"You can't say you are an important guest. I met Brother Zhang by chance and happened to be on the road. However, we hit it off on the road and talked a lot." Qi Zhen said with a smile.
"I wonder what you are doing here?" Zhang Dacai stopped talking and asked loudly.
How to say?
Say we suspect that you and the City God colluded with each other to murder the female ghost? I also suspect that you are a double agent, not only having an affair with the City God, but maybe also with the Earth God?
Qi Zhen said with a smile: "Yesterday you sent us to the inn to settle down. After all, we are not familiar with this place. We also heard that you had paid the rent for the hotel. We felt very sorry and came to thank Brother Zhang for coming. ”
As she spoke, Qi Zhen took out a piece of gold from her arms and put it on the table.
Zhang Dacai was shocked and hurriedly waved his hand: "You can't help but don't do it. Don't be polite if you raise your hand to treat everyone. Isn't this a slap in my face, Zhang Dacai?"
He turned his head and said: "Uncle Zong, hurry up and ask the kitchen to prepare good wine and food. I want to get drunk with some distinguished guests today!"
"I'll go right away, little man. You can chat with a few distinguished guests first." Uncle Zong nodded, turned and left.
"It's presumptuous to come uninvited, so there's no point in that." Qi Zhen said.
"As guests do as you please, please make peace when you come. Sit down quickly. Sit down quickly." Zhang Dacai moved several people to their seats, and he also sat down at the main seat.
