Zunyan is a fly restaurant in the old city of Shanghai.
As a restaurant, it is obviously a little too low-key. Not only is it opened in an alley in the old city, but the storefront is also inconspicuous and dusty, as if it has inherited the taste of the previous era.
And that's exactly what happened.
This store can be regarded as a century-old store in Shanghai, and there is actually a little story about this store.
Zun means wine bottle; banquet means banquet.
The so-called bottle banquet, to put it bluntly, is a place for drinking and eating.
However, it is said that the original owner of this store was a failed scholar.
Because he avoided the emperor's taboo, the scholar failed to obtain any honors. Later, he caught up with foreigners and broke into the country. Disheartened, the scholar returned to Songjiang Prefecture and opened a restaurant named Zunyan.
It means a place to eat, drink, and entertain friends.
It's the same now.
Even though this store is small and inconspicuous, and almost no one knows about it, many old people from Magic City often come to visit it.
Because here is the purest taste of the magic city.
If you want to experience the delicious food of Shanghai, this is the right place for you.
When Gu Bei was traveling across the country, he had a meal at Zunyan, which left a deep impression on him.
At that time, Zhang Yan had not officially taken over as the person in charge of the East China Region. The person who came with Gu Bei to experience the delicious food was a second-rate guy who took the Dragon King with him - Old Tang.
After more than a year, Gu Bei sat here again, looking at the overlapping figure of Zhang Yan and Old Tang opposite, and suddenly felt a hazy sense of time and space intertwined.
"Hey, young man, have we met somewhere?" The aunt in charge of ordering food looked to be in her forties, with wrinkles on her face showing the passage of time. She looked at Gu Bei and asked.
"Yes, we met once. I came here once more than a year ago. At that time, there was a tall and thin man who came with me. He ate sixteen ducks by himself."
Old Tang's brilliant record was that one man defeated sixteen ducks. After Lu Mingfei found out about this, he jokingly said that Old Tang's fighting power was as strong as sixteen ducks.
"Hey, I was just wondering why you look so strange and familiar at the same time." The landlady remembered, and the one who impressed her was not the handsome guy in front of her, but the rice pail who ate sixteen ducks and packed two in the end.
"Hey, what about this? I haven't heard you say anything about it." Zhang Yan interrupted from the opposite side.
"Hey, I'm a guest, and the guest is God. Boss Zhang, how dare you gossip about God?" Auntie joked happily.
She recognized Zhang Yan. After all, since Zhang Yan took office, he only had three places to go to solve the problem of eating every day - home, the canteen, and here.
"Don't you dare..." Zhang Yan pretended to be scared, making the two of them laugh.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Yan also started to order.
"Eight-treasure chicken, crystal shrimp, pickled fresh pork, Caotou circle, and a braised catfish. Two bottles of Chongming wine are required."
Zhang Yan didn't ask for a menu, he just opened his mouth. The names of the dishes were announced like a jingle, and he used gossip. Gu Bei couldn't understand, but he could tell that Zhang Yan was very proficient, and it was not his first time. .
"You come here every day to fish, right?"
"Don't slander me," Zhang Yan swore, raising his finger, "I only came after get off work."
Although he said this, Gu Bei rolled his eyes.
This guy is the talker of East China. When the company will get off work, that's not something he can say casually.
When he is happy, it is no problem to just give all employees a holiday.
"I'll ask Sister Hua to host you when I get back." Gu Bei said half-seriously.
"Spare me." Zhang Yan begged for mercy.
The two chatted for a while, waiting for the food to be served.
It's noon now, the sun is shining, it's not the New Year yet, the weather is a bit cold, there are only a few people outside, and it's a bit quiet.
In fact, the Magic City has a large permanent population, and the streets and alleys outside are blocked. If the capital is blocked because of cars, then the Magic City is blocked because of people.
However, few people come here in the old city, mainly because there are no industries and the houses are old, so the popularity is less and it has a kind of fairy spirit.
Staying here makes people feel much better.
Lu Mingfei and others are not here.
After getting off the bus at the East China Region headquarters, the three people changed to two cars and drove to two destinations respectively.
Lu Mingfei went to see the interstellar boss he longed for, and Xia Mi took Chu Zihang to Disneyland, the most popular Disneyland in the world.
Before leaving, Gu Bei heard this guy talking about the Holy Land where the Three Great Women would meet.
I don’t know how they are doing now.
——
"It's actually a Ferris wheel," Chu Zihang said seriously, looking away from the distance. I thought you would like something more exciting like a roller coaster. "
"It's because it's a Ferris wheel!" Xia Mi turned to face Chu Zihang, his slender and soft forehead hair dangled in front of Chu Zihang, but it couldn't block Xia Mi's bright eyes, "Senior , I think you really don’t understand.”
"What don't you understand?" The corner of Chu Zihang's mouth twitched.
He actually understood what Xia Mi was talking about. After all, he was surrounded by three complex guys, Gu Beilu Mingfei and Fingel. Even Caesar had a tendency to make jokes, so how quickly he understood these things completely depended on him. Because of the speed at which those idiots transported him.
But he couldn't say to Xia Mi: Just kidding, I understand very well.
He was afraid of being pouted by Xia Mi.
Although there is nothing wrong with this, he still subconsciously believes that the man should still take the initiative in this kind of matter.
Xia Mi stared at his eyes and studied them seriously for a long time, as if to test whether he was pretending to be stupid.
Chu Zihang wanted to step back, but he persisted. He just gritted his teeth, causing his cheeks to bulge stiffly.
Xia Mi sighed: "Senior, do you know what are the three holy places for dating?"
"have no idea."
Chu Zihang actually knew that Xia Mi had asked him the exact same question before.
But he still said he didn't know.
"It's a movie theater, an aquarium and a Ferris wheel."
Xia Mi stretched her shiny jade fingers.
"And the Ferris wheel is the most suitable place to express your love among the three holy places, because no one will disturb you here, and the girl cannot escape. When looking at the amusement park outside in a daze, it is best to take out the flowers that have been prepared. Kneel down and confess your love, you have ten minutes to spare. For a boy who can talk, ten minutes is enough to move a turtle to tears!"
"Why touch the turtles?"
"That's not the point..." Xia Mi looked embarrassed, "The point is, the Ferris wheel is a romantic place, and you can't talk about unpleasant topics here."
"So..." Chu Zihang seemed to suddenly have an idea, "Do you want me to propose to you here?"
"It's a confession... In fact, it's not bad to propose, but it's a pity that you just missed the best opportunity!" Xia Mi crossed his arms and turned his head away, looking like I was very angry.
However, Chu Zihang did not coax her, but asked seriously: "If I propose to you here, will you accept it?"
"wrong!" It’s still too confusing to understand the style.”
"Yes." Chu Zihang nodded, but did not avoid the topic just now, "So, will you accept the proposal?"
"Well……"
Xia Mi turned around and met Chu Zihang's serious eyes, and his high momentum suddenly died down.
"Well... I should... yes..."
"should?"
"..." Xia Mi blushed. For the first time, this girl who was thousands of years old felt something beating fiercely in her chest. Even the dragon king's heart was about to be broken.
But Chu Zihang still looked at her with clear and serious eyes.
Finally, she couldn't hold it any longer, she closed her eyes and shouted: "Yes! I will accept it. As long as it is your proposal, I will accept it! Whether it is here or not, I will accept it." Yes! Are you satisfied?"
After she finished speaking, she found that Chu Zihang on the opposite side did not respond.
So, what kind of trouble is this?
Just asking?
Although the senior does have such a character, it is too much to treat a girl like this.
Xia Mi opened his eyes little by little, only to find that a shiny object had appeared in front of him. It was embedded in a dark box.
A ring, a diamond ring.
"So, will you accept it?" Chu Zihang's eyes were firmer than Xia Mi had ever seen before. This sword-like man had never had such firm eyes even when he waved his sword and looked at the enemy's neck, like It's an oath that cannot be erased even if the world collapses.
That is the consciousness that belongs to this man.
The trip to Tokyo was really not a comfortable journey. Even now, Chu Zihang still had two rolls of bandages tied around his body.
Gu Bei did not treat them because he was afraid of overload.
But for the mixed breed, this is not a serious injury, and it only takes a few days to recover.
For Chu Zihang, this was more like a warning.
In the past, he didn't care about life and death. As long as he could gain powerful power and take revenge on Odin, he was willing to pay any price.
At that time, Chu Zihang was basically equivalent to the second pillar of a certain Uchiha family.
Later, Chu Zihang learned about the other side of the world from Gu Bei, and his belief changed from revenge against Odin to killing all dragons.
At that time, he completely ignored life and death, and even longed for death.
Later, he met Lu Mingfei and Old Tang, and he suddenly realized that dragons are the same as people. People have good and bad people, and dragons naturally also have good and bad dragons.
Later, he met Xia Mi and restored his past memories.
Then he learned the truth that his father was still alive.
At this time, he suddenly realized that there was no need for him to die. He could live well and save everything.
However, the trip to Tokyo gave him a loud slap in the face.
Continuous crises, continuous dangers, and continuous near-deaths made him realize his own weakness.
Desperate Saburo realized that he would die.
What will happen to the people around you after you die?
He has a group of good brothers. Although they are a bunch of jokers, they all have a good relationship and they fight and fight every day.
He has a good mother who, although a little naive, loves him very much and will do everything for him.
He has a good father who, although not his biological father, fulfills everything he wants.
There is someone he likes. Although she is very powerful, she is helpless in this world.
He also has a father waiting for him to save...
He doesn't want to die yet.
He wants to get stronger, but that's not enough.
He wants to leave no regrets before he dies.
In this way, even if he died on the battlefield between dragons and humans, he could close his eyes with peace of mind.
The first thing to bear the brunt is to resolve the matter between Dad and Xia Mi.
Dad can let it go first, but Xia Mi...
To be honest, the two of them should have broken the window a long time ago, but Chu Zihang had been hesitant before, largely because of their identities.
Shami, Jormungandr, King of the Earth and Mountains.
Chu Zihang admitted his feelings for Xia Mi, but he was an extremely rational person, so he didn't act too late.
Now, he couldn't stay rational.
"Xia Mi, marry me, okay?"
Chu Zihang was very serious.
Xia Mi's eyes wandered from the ring to Chu Zihang's face, and then he broke into a bright smile: "Don't ask questions at this time, idiot!"
As she said that, she stretched out her right hand: "Don't be stunned, put it on me quickly - you won't let me put it on myself."
The silver-white ring was finally put on the green-white finger. Chu Zihang held Xia Mi's hand. The two looked at each other for a long time, and then their figures merged into one.
——
"Hello?" Gu Bei answered the phone, "What? You said the club isn't fun?"
Lu Mingfei's voice came from the other end of the phone: "The professional players here have too much water. I just beat them casually."
"If you are so good at fighting, then you should go out and make a debut. You can make a lot of money when you become famous." Gu Bei grinned, "Please, they are all ordinary people, and you are a transcendent. If you can't beat them, then Just stop playing.”33
"That's right." Lu Mingfei agreed very much, "If I had known earlier, I would have asked Xiaoqiang to come over. It wouldn't be a bad idea to go to Disneyland with Senior Brother Chu and the others."
"Huh? Why are you dragging Su Xiaoqiang along? Can't you go along yourself?"
"I don't want to be a lightbulb."
"It turns out you still have some self-awareness."
"Come on, boss, the two of them are almost like Siamese twins when they are together. Even the air smells like dog food, and their eyes looked strange when they left in the car. I feel that these two... must be hiding something from us. .”
"Nonsense, you still want to inquire about this young couple's own affairs?" Gu Bei scolded with a smile, "If you have nothing to do, come with me for dinner, a bottle banquet, the same one I brought Old Tang here last time."
"Oh oh oh, it's the one where Old Tang ate sixteen ducks, right?"
"Yes, come on."
"Wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Bei looked at Zhang Yan opposite: "If you want a rice pail, please add two more dishes."
Some people died, but not completely...
