How long is ten years?
It’s about one-seventh of the life span of an ordinary human being.
Probably a small tree grows from sowing seeds to a big tree,
It's probably like a newborn baby becoming an ignorant teenager,
Probably the peach tree at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain has grown again.
Probably more and more soldiers from Kyushu began to leave their hometowns to join the military camps.
Probably Li Ergou from Chang'an City witnessed another 3,650 sunrises and sunsets.
Probably because the wooden tables in Fugui Tavern finally broke, the shopkeeper Liu Fugui went to Chengnan Carpenter Wang and bought five brand new wooden tables.
Probably Feng Lailou started operating normally again after Wang Daofan became prime minister again.
Probably because there is finally one more person basking in the sun on the top of Yumenguan City every day.
It was probably Daozi from Qingcheng Mountain who learned a few more exercises and beat the two demon pets hundreds of times.
Probably a certain girl in Qingzhou called out a name that was engraved in her heart time and time again in the dead of night. She sat on the bed with tears in her eyes and cried silently.
Probably a man from Baishan Mountain in Yanzhou sat under a pagoda again and again, with the green lanterns on the ancient Buddha all night long, accompanied by the bright moon and cool breeze.
Probably in the South China Sea of Yangzhou, groups of people boarded one after another scarred warships and rushed to the depths of the ocean to conquer the remnants of the demon clan.
Probably deep in the Jizhou Icefield, a man looked at a beautiful woman dancing gracefully under the frost-covered sky, with long swords and cloud sleeves, like a celestial being.
Probably in the vast expanse of Yuzhou, one after another exciting legends about the martial arts world have inspired one after another passionate young people to pursue their own dreams of becoming warriors.
Probably in the bustling capital of Jingzhou, wealthy businessmen, wealthy officials, and ordinary people stepped into the gate of the temple again and again in their spare time, burned three sticks of incense in front of the Buddha devoutly, and kowtowed three times. First, scatter the incense money,
Probably in the capital of Xuzhou, after causing countless troubles, the two children of Lord Zhou Mu finally grew up into ignorant teenagers who were able to cause more troubles.
Probably in Yongzhou Chang'an City, the dull time has carved more mottled spots on the mottled city walls. The locust trees on both sides of the street have fallen off their flowers again and again, and the magnolia trees in Qinxin Palace have also fallen off their flowers again and again. Flowers, but the flowers on the street are cleaned, but the flowers in Qinxin Palace are not picked up.
Probably in the capital of Liangzhou, Master Zhou Mu finally got a precious grandson. Although he was not very successful, he was deeply loved by the people of Liangzhou.
These ten years are probably one of the few peaceful years that Kyushu has experienced, but this layer of calm is like the layer of floating ice on the lake in winter, silently covering up the undercurrents deep in the lake bottom, brewing for the coming spring. The thunder is coming!
In the past ten years, a small restaurant called Pingan Restaurant opened in a small town with ancient history on the border of Yuzhou.
No one knows the name of the restaurant owner. They only know that she came here on a snowy day.
The restaurant was originally run by a businessman. Unfortunately, the businessman was attacked by a group of bandits while transporting goods. After losing all his wealth, the businessman had no intention of running the restaurant, so the owner of Ping An Restaurant bought it from the businessman. Got this restaurant.
In fact, there is nothing special about this Ping An Restaurant. The business in this small town has always been tepid, so soon this restaurant has been integrated into this ancient city in the past ten years. The small town is like a pebble dropped into the bottom of the lake, and together with the precious jade or ordinary stones in the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake, the ordinary years are deposited.
In the ordinary years, it is easiest to polish people's loose temper.
Like a pot of fine wine, people can't help but be immersed in the drunken state, where it is easy to forget everything or the sadness or the beautiful past.
But He Yiqi rarely drinks.
Because he felt that drinking would affect his daze, he liked to sit at the door of his restaurant, looking at the sky that he couldn't touch with his hands. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but he would always forget the passage of time.
He knew that this was called daze.
He still remembers the first time he drank.
At that time, he was forced to drink less than half a bowl of wine by the drunk proprietress.
Really only a small half bowl.
He weighed the bowl and looked at the wine, which was as clear as water but had a pungent taste. He mustered up the courage for a moment and imitated the young old men who often came to the restaurant to drink. He slowly sipped it and took a sip.
The wine entered his throat, and the spicy and stimulating taste exploded in his mouth like a firecracker.
To be honest, he doesn't like setting off firecrackers because the smell of gunpowder makes him feel like the New Year.
The Chinese New Year means that restaurant business will become deserted.
By the way, he is the young owner of this Ping An Restaurant!
At least that's what he felt.
However, the proprietress of Ping An Restaurant never acknowledged his identity.
The landlady is a strange woman.
He Yiqi always feels like this.
What's strange? He couldn't say one, two or three.
Do you always have to carry several jars of wine upstairs every day?
Get yourself drunk every day?
I have to say that the landlady looks like she just climbed out of a wine jar every day when she is downstairs.
Ping An Restaurant has two floors. The first floor is where guests are received. There are four tables, a large counter, and several large wine tanks in the corners.
Such furnishings make the restaurant appear to be relatively spacious.
Generally speaking, this is enough to accommodate people from the town on weekdays.
However, He Yiqi knew that there were two tables in the small courtyard behind the restaurant, and he had only moved them out once in his memory.
It was the mayor's 60th birthday. The mayor invited a large family to the Ping'an Restaurant for dinner. The waiter at the time moved the two tables out, and the first floor of the Ping'an Restaurant instantly seemed full.
On the second floor of the restaurant, the proprietress's room took up more than half, and the remaining half barely accommodated He Yi's abandoned room.
But there was nothing to put in the room. The room basically just had a table, a stool, and a bed.
As for the back of the restaurant, there is a small courtyard. Surrounding the small courtyard is a small kitchen, three small rooms, and a small hut.
The three rooms are where the waiter, the cripple, the shopkeeper, who is presbyopic, and the cook, Biao, live.
As for the daily bathing, except for Aunt Biao and the landlady who take baths on the second floor, the three men just make do with it in the yard.
But He Yiqi knew that the landlady's room, which was as big as five of his rooms, had a big bathtub!
Once, when Aunt Biao went upstairs with a bucket of hot water and was about to go to the boss's room to take a bath, He Yiqi secretly followed her and took a look. At this glance, he saw a large bath bucket in the room. Right in the center!
But he didn't have the courage to go in. Why did the three people give up their names? From the name of Aunt Biao, we know how tough this woman is.
I remember one time at noon, the drunk proprietress got up as usual and went downstairs to find something to eat.
She was sitting at the table and dozing off lazily
, as a result, there was a drunk man whose eyes were straightened when he saw the proprietress.
After all, the landlady looks like she is only in her twenties or thirties. I don’t know how she takes care of herself. She goes to bed late and wakes up late every day, and her skin is still smooth and delicate. With her beautiful face and slim waist, she can do it almost every now and then. I saw a few matchmakers who didn't know whose money they had in their pockets, and they were coming to matchmaker with the proprietress.
But the landlady always asked the lame man to ask them out impatiently.
Back to the subject, the drunkard saw the beauty of the landlady, so he tried to get close to the landlady and tamper with her under the influence of alcohol.
The lame man who was serving the food rushed over to stop him, but was pushed to the ground by the drunkard. He Yiqiu wanted to go up to help, but was also knocked down by the drunkard. The presbyopic man who was sitting at the counter calculating the accounts was in a hurry and continued in a daze. I couldn't get out of the counter, so I could only shout and call for Aunt Biao.
"Pig-killer! Pig-killer!"
He Yiqi remembered that Presbyopia shouted at the time, "There is nothing we can do, this store is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people."
The lame man's left foot is lame. It is said that it was caused by a fall when he was catching a thief.
Presbyopic eyes cannot see clearly. I understand why I should give up. After all, I am old.
At this time, Aunt Biao, who was killing chickens in the backyard, came angrily carrying a kitchen knife that was still bleeding.
He Yiqi still couldn't forget the scene at that time. The boss's wife had drunk too much last night, and they were so noisy that she could still lie down on the table and take a nap.
Aunt Biao, who was about forty or fifty years old, was very strong and weighed an estimated two hundred pounds. The drunk man looked very thin in front of her.
Aunt Biao grabbed his collar with her left hand and pulled him up off the ground. The drunkard still wanted to struggle, but Aunt Biao held up the bleeding kitchen knife in her right hand and tried to press it against his neck.
This suddenly woke up the drunk man from his daze, and he stammered for mercy.
However, Aunt Biao still refused to let go and dragged him out of the store.
A lot of people suddenly gathered on the street, all wanting to watch the fun.
In front of everyone, Aunt Biao slapped the drunkard a hundred times, saying she wanted to sober him up!
However, this drunkard seemed to have something to do with several officials in the town. After being slapped in the mouth, he became indignant and threatened to take revenge on Aunt Biao.
But later, I don’t know what happened, so I let it go.
After that, some people in the town who had some evil thoughts towards the proprietress restrained themselves a little. After all, the way Mrs. Biao raised the bloody knife was very scary.
Speaking of which, He Yiqi has always been very curious about the boss's wife's marriage issues.
Once, the landlady asked He Yi to drink. She said he was drinking, but in fact, she was drinking alone.
The proprietress drunkenly poked He Yiqi's forehead every day, chanting over and over again, I picked you up here on a snowy day when my head was so cold that I had a convulsion.
He Yiqi asked her, "Since you have never married, why don't you let those matchmakers in?"
The hand of the landlady holding the wine glass just shook a little, and then she told him, "I'm already married."
He Yi gave up and asked, "What about others?"
She said, "It's gone."
Why don't you give up and ask again, "Then why don't you go find it."
The landlady stared at He Yiqi with drunken eyes. For some reason, He Yiqi always had a warm feeling in his heart when being stared at by the landlady's eyes.
"I searched for a long time and couldn't find it."
After the landlady said something lightly, she carried the wine jar and went upstairs.
For some reason, He Yiqi slept extremely soundly that night, and even had a strange dream, which was filled with the eyes of the landlady.
