One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount.
Zhu Hongni was even more anxious than him: "Where did you lose it? Can you still find it when you go back now?"
Shen Li smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It was originally mine, but it must have fallen into the hands of my sister after a while."
"Oh, that's it. I thought I lost a thousand taels of silver on the road." Zhu Hongni said assuredly.
It took two quarters of an hour for the waiter to bring all the dishes she ordered.
Zhu Hongni complained that the food was served too slowly.
The waiter apologized and gave an extra jug of good wine, "Hero, you two are here for dinner right now. Some of the dishes were not prepared properly. I'm really sorry."
For the sake of good wine, Zhu Hongni gave up on the matter and even gave the waiter a few cents as a reward.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. The waiter who accepted the reward said in a low and playful voice: "You two, please be patient and use it slowly. There is a plate of chopped beef in the kitchen that has not been sold. I will serve it to you two later."
"Go! Go!" Zhu Hongni seemed to be dizzy at the waiter's shout of a heroine, and she started to pose, really like a heroine traveling around.
Zhu Hongni had a good drinking capacity, and she and Shen Li drank three large bowls from the beginning.
"Mr. Shen, you may not believe it when I tell you, but I started drinking when I was three years old. Today, I have reached the point where I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
"I'm too drunk to drink, so I hope the heroine will be more noble." Shen Li said modestly.
His drinking capacity cannot be said to be very high, nor can he be said to be very bad. He is more than enough to deal with the drunkards in the Xingxiu Sect. However, he cannot deal with those drunkards who do not get drunk no matter how much they drink. Every time he drinks in the second half, the young man is all drunk. An excuse to slip away.
Xie Lingjiang, who raised him, was one of the masters of wine in the sect. Shen Li had never seen Xie Lingjiang drunk. Even though Nalan Suichun found other people and planned a bad move, he deliberately forced Xie Lingjiang to drink. I still had the last laugh, except for the blush after drinking, and no feeling of drunkenness.
The chefs in this inn are very skilled, on par with the chefs at Kaixi City Restaurant.
No wonder Zhu Hongni couldn't forget the small shop opened here. It turned out that there was such delicious food here.
Seeing that he was eating happily, Zhu Hongni asked with a smile: "Is the food good?"
"As good as the big restaurants in the capital!" Shen Li praised.
She whispered: "Last time I heard the waiter talk about the cook in the back kitchen. He said he came from Qifeng City. There is a story."
To be able to work as a cook in this humble little shop, and to be so good at craftsmanship, there must be experiences that are difficult for outsiders to know.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
Zhu Hongni, who claimed to be able to drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk, was shaky. There was a table full of dishes. Although the two of them had great appetites, the portion was too big and they ate less than half.
Zhu Hongni looked as if she was drowsy. She raised the wine jar and filled it with wine for herself and Shen Li. She touched the wine bowl boldly and drank it all in big gulps.
Shen Li didn't lag behind others and finished his drink slowly and leisurely without wasting a drop of wine.
"Mr. Shen, tell me the truth, what is your purpose in coming to the Northern Sui Dynasty?" Zhu Hongni asked drunkenly.
"Miss Zhu, to be honest, I have two things to do when I arrive in Northern Sui Dynasty."
"What two things?"
"The first thing is to visit relatives and friends to see if there is anyone in need of help. The second thing is to visit a Taoist sect, plus go to Jixia Academy to appreciate the source of the world's cultural heritage."
"Jixia Academy is not very popular. In the past, hundreds of schools of thought contended in the academy. Since Confucianism became the dominant school, other schools have gradually become weaker. Jixia Academy is about to become a Confucian academy."
More than just a Confucian academy, Jixia Academy has already become one of the most important Confucian academy.
In addition, Shen Li can now list a few academies that can compete with Jixia Academy. As a faction comparable to Buddhism and Taoism, Confucianism has a total of seventy-two academies and three university palaces. Jixia Academy is not included in Confucianism. Inside the Three University Palace.
As the birthplace of Confucianism, Jixia Academy's status is not comparable to that of other academies and academic palaces.
“The world’s cultural heritage originates from this place, so you should definitely go and see it.”
"My family has some connections in Jixia Academy. When you go there, mention my name and ask for a drink at the Academy to ensure that you appreciate the true style of a scholar."
The young man suddenly smacked his tongue inwardly, Zhu Hongni’s background, she even has connections in Jixia Academy!
You must know that although Jixia Academy has lost its splendor and is no longer home to the most outstanding talents in the world, it is still a holy place in the minds of scholars. To have connections in Jixia Academy, Zhu Hongni’s family background must be traced back hundreds of years. , the seeds of reading are endless in the family from generation to generation, and they can pick up generals and prime ministers at their fingertips.
"You do not believe?"
"I can't believe it, that's the Jixia Academy that's famous all over the world!" Shen Li slightly used the aggressive general technique.
Zhu Hongni slapped the table and said loudly: "The surname of the academy's wine festival is Zhu! It's just the deputy..."
Jixia Academy has one person serving as a wine minister and two deputy wine ministers, all of whom are knowledgeable and famous officials.
Shen Li didn't know much about this and nodded quickly: "That's it. When we get to Jixia Academy, I will definitely mention your name."
"Yeah, that's good, come on! Drink!"
The two of them ate with their mouths full of oil. After eating for a while, they actually finished eating the food on the table, and not a drop of wine was left.
The waiter, who had previously thought they wouldn't be able to finish the meal, stood aside and stared in shock.
A young man, a heroine, with an astonishing appetite, filled the table with food, leaving only vegetable soup.
Zhu Hongni was completely drunk, lying on the table, muttering to herself, not knowing what she was talking about.
The waiter tiptoed forward and asked softly: "Sir, can I clean the table?"
"Clean up and have two bowls of hangover soup."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The waiter's hands and feet worked quickly, and soon there was no oil stain. He filled two bowls of hangover soup. Shen Li woke up Zhu Hongni, brought the hangover soup to her mouth, took a few sips, and then lay on the table.
Only then did the cook come out of the back kitchen.
Shen Li looked like a neat middle-aged man with a black mole between his eyebrows, thin lips, a hooked nose, and a bronze complexion.
The middle-aged man brewed a pot of tea and smiled at the young man: "Would you like some tea, sir? The rough tea from the mountains cannot compare with those famous teas, but it has its own unique taste."
"Thank you!"
Shen Li stood up. After drinking so much wine, he staggered a little while walking. It was nothing serious. It was okay for him to rush to Qifeng City now.
"Your Majesty, you have a great capacity for drinking! You can never get drunk after a thousand drinks!"
"Brother, that's ridiculous. He has a bad ability to drink. He's trying not to get drunk."
"It's amazing to be able to not get drunk. I've seen all kinds of drunkards. As long as you don't get drunk, you have a good drinker!"
“There is a saying in my hometown that the quality of wine is the quality of one’s character.”
"Haha...it's true."
He poured Shen Li a cup of tea, which was steaming hot. He sipped it and returned to the bench to sit down. He became more and more curious about the cook.
The cook is not an ordinary person. He has a strong aura and is very particular about the exertion of every move. If the prediction is correct, he should be a fifth-grade martial artist, and an old martial artist who has been honing his skills in the fifth-grade realm for many years.
Such a martial artist has rich experience in fighting, can freely execute every move, and has a strong body, making him extremely difficult to deal with. This is true for people in the same realm, but a fourth-level Vajra realm master doesn't take it seriously at all, and can kill him with a few punches.
Jianghu refers to the realm above the King Kong realm as the upper fourth level, which is a consensus formed by blood. Once you reach the upper fourth level, you can embark on the path of pursuing the great road. Below the fourth level, the foundation is still being built.
"Where are you from, young master? Your accent doesn't sound like someone from the Northern Sui Dynasty."
"I'm from Nanwu."
"Nanwu, there were many guests from Nanwu last month."
After a casual mention, the man holding the teapot went back to the kitchen.
Shen Li turned to look out the window.
Several people came in a hurry on fast horses. Before the horses stopped, people had already rushed into the store.
The middle-aged man turned around and stared at the four people, his expression changing drastically.
The waiter didn't know what happened, so he took a few steps back and hid behind the man.
"Ha, I've been looking for you for more than a month, and I finally found you!" One person laughed with relief.
"Old ghost Ren! After you become Taotie, the world is so big that there is no place for you. If you regret and want to leave Taotie, you can only give up by dying!"
"After going all over the place, we still found it. It was really hard for us to find you! If it weren't for the demon killing order issued by the sect master, I wouldn't want to find you!"
The last person drew his sword and pointed it at the middle-aged man.
Murderous intent permeated the air.
The cook said softly to the waiter: "It's none of your business, run away."
The waiter's legs were so frightened that he stumbled into the yard and ran away through the back door.
"Ren Yuan! The sect master wants to ask you, Taotie treats you very well, why do you want to run away?"
The cook named Ren Yuan replied: "The purpose of joining Taotie is to kill my entire family of enemies. Since my entire family of enemies has been destroyed by me using my own methods and treating them in return, I should naturally leave Taotie and return to my family. free!"
"Haha... What a joke! Ren Yuan! Didn't I tell you the Taotie rules when I became a Taotie?"
"told!"
"Well, today's Taotie soldiers are strong and strong, and there are countless masters. One more of you is not more, and one less of you is not more. Our friendship for several years is over."
One person said impatiently: "Why are you talking so much? Kill him! Kill the young man by the way and take away the drunk woman. The four of us brothers happen to be comfortable!"
Why did they suddenly involve themselves when they were beating them?
The young man who was watching the fun immediately became unhappy. He took a sip of tea and said loudly: "We are just passers-by, what does it have to do with us?"
"Hey, haven't you heard of Taotie?"
"I've heard of him before. Isn't he just a glutton who has done so many evil things that it's hard to describe!"
"You're still a scholar!"
"You are not a scholar at all. You are so illiterate that you are just useless."
Ren Yuan frequently glanced at him, signaling him to say less.
The four people who came here from Taotie were, without exception, all at the fifth level and all martial artists.
"Boy, you asked for this. There is a road to heaven and you don't take it. It's no wonder you don't take it!"
Shen Li sneered: "Fuck you, you just said you were going to kill me, and now I'm talking nonsense to provoke you? You guys have said all the good and bad things!"
Ren Yuan slowly moved his body to stand between the two, and whispered: "Sir, I'm holding them back, take the girl away quickly, their target is me, you are safe until I die!"
The young man lost his temper and put one foot on the bench: "I won't leave. Keep your eyes open today to see how the four of them want to kill me!"
Zhu Hongni was woken up. She raised her head and looked around in confusion, then she lay down and fell asleep again.
