Chapter 135 Restaurant

Zhang Xiaohua followed the footsteps in front of the mountain temple and went down the mountain.

However, he soon discovered something strange about the footprints. The footprints seemed to belong to two people, one stepped deeper and the other stepped shallower. However, they all had one thing in common, that is, the steps of the two footprints were very large. , one step can take Zhang Xiaohua up many steps. Zhang Xiaohua was a little stunned, how long are this person's legs?

Moreover, when going down the mountain, everyone walked on steep places, but Zhang Xiaohua couldn't do it, so she had to find a place with a gentle slope, and then look for the footprints at the bottom of the mountain.

After walking for another half moment, Zhang Xiaohua understood everything, because there was a small forest in front of him. When he walked to the forest, the footprints disappeared and reappeared on the other side of the forest. By this time, he had already set foot. Zhang Xiaohua, who was halfway through the world, seemed to know that the footprints he was following should be left by a martial arts master.

But why do these experts go to the mountain temple? But that's not what Zhang Xiaohua wants to know. He just wants this footprint to take him back to the world.

After walking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua encountered another problem. The footprints were divided into two lines, going in different directions.

Faced with this two-choice problem, Zhang Xiaohua did not hesitate and easily chose the correct answer.

Why?

Thinking about it with Zhang Xiaohua's heel, he also knew that if he followed the footprints and stepped deeper, he who stepped shallower must be a good qinggong. The snow was so vast that if someone suddenly stepped on the snow without leaving a trace, that Isn’t it true that Xiaohua followed in vain?

Now that he has chosen a direction, Zhang Xiaohua follows the footsteps of the martial arts master he has never met before, facing the rising sun and moving forward boldly.

This footprint is worthy of Zhang Xiaohua. Although sometimes the depth is different, Zhang Xiaohua can still distinguish it. Along the way, there is no high or low. Zhang Xiaohua is very grateful and keeps talking about it. This God-given good man suddenly made Shopkeeper Liu, who had already returned to the shop and wanted to freeze Zhang Xiaohua to death, sneezing repeatedly and cursing in his heart. This unlucky youngest Mei actually found such a remote place. We meet somewhere, it’s so cold outside, don’t you know? It's better now. I have a cold and I still have to spend money to see a doctor.

It was almost noon, and Zhang Xiaohua was a little hungry. When she came out, she just took a little dry food. She planned to eat it once in a while. Now she doesn’t know where she went. She had already eaten the rest in the morning. If she eats it again today, If there is no human habitation, you will go hungry at night. When Zhang Xiaohua was thinking wildly, she suddenly saw smoke appearing on the horizon in front of her. Zhang Xiaohua was so happy that she immediately turned around and ran towards the smoke, not caring about following in the footsteps of that man who came and went.

The most direct consequence was that Shopkeeper Liu, who had just gone out after taking the money, suddenly stopped sneezing, then touched his nose, shook his head, and said to himself: "Ji people have their own destiny. I didn't kill Yemiao last night." The country boy just sealed his sleeping hole and let himself freeze to death. In comparison, he accumulated some moral virtue. He immediately received interest and no longer had to spend money on medical treatment. It seems that he will have to learn organizational skills in the future. Those at the top who kill without showing blood are the real masters."

It is said that Zhang Xiaohua left the footsteps he followed and turned back to a place with cooking smoke. He cut a road through the mountains, crossed the water and built a bridge. He coughed, and carried forward the fearless spirit of the rivers and lakes. Finally, in the afternoon, he came to a small rural town.

Looking at the town from a distance, as well as the houses around the town, and the free-range poultry around the houses, Zhang Xiaohua sighed for a while, she finally found a human habitation, and she finally no longer had to worry about going hungry.

Along the small road of the town, Zhang Xiaohua walked quickly. This is a typical rural town, a bit smaller than Lu Town. It is the New Year now, and there are many people on the street, all of whom are wearing new clothes. , with smiles on their faces, and they were all friendly when meeting, and they held hands with each other. Many young people, about the same age as Zhang Xiaohua, or younger, held some incense and set off firecrackers happily, creating a New Year scene.

Zhang Xiaohua’s outfit,

Although it is not shabby, it is not neat and tidy, and it does not look like it is about to celebrate the New Year. Everyone in the town looked at it and found it a little strange. After all, ordinary people, no matter how poor they are, still have to change their children into new clothes after the New Year, like There are very few people like Zhang Xiaohua who have no new clothes to wear, and they look ugly. They must be orphans in the countryside.

How can Zhang Xiaohua care about other people's faces?

He was looking for a place where he could buy food. However, after searching for a while, he suddenly realized that it was the New Year and all the ordinary shops were closed and not open for business. Where could he buy things? ? Zhang Xiaohua secretly touched the money bag in her arms and couldn't help but smile bitterly. She had never received so much money in her life, and yet she was still hungry. It was really unfair.

Looking at the shops in the small town that were basically closed, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but smile bitterly. Did he have to wait until after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to buy food? He even doubted whether he could carry it until that time.

Zhang Xiaohua sighed, because she couldn't do it, so she could only find someone's house, knock on the door and buy something to eat.

At this time, a young man in his twenties walked towards him. He was wearing very bright clothes, with oily hair and pink face. He seemed to be humming a tune. Zhang Xiaohua quickly stepped forward, raised his hand and saluted, "Excuse me, brother."

The man was squinting his eyes and remembering something. He was very impatient when he was interrupted. When he saw the poor boy from the countryside in front of him, he frowned and secretly thought to himself. Could he be begging for money on the street? It’s the Chinese New Year. If you give it, you’ll feel bad. If you don’t, you won’t get any good luck. It’s really a dilemma.

So, he asked: "What's the matter?"

As he said this, he reached into his arms and secretly took a penny. If he wanted to ask for money, he would use it to kill the trouble.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Brother, what time is it now?"

The man was stunned. It turned out he was not asking for money. He felt relieved and said with a smile: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon." After saying that, he was about to take a step forward. Zhang Xiaohua said again: "Trouble, brother misunderstood, I asked What day is today?”

The man was even more stunned. He spread his arms quietly up and down and asked: "My little brother, you don't have a fever, do you? You don't know the number of days?"

Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "I strayed into the mountains, and when I came out, I was already in a trance. I wonder what year it is tonight?"

When the man saw Zhang Xiaohua's unusual words, he immediately stood in respect and said solemnly: "Today is the sixth day of the first lunar month in the 23rd year of Jinfeng. I wonder in what year did my little brother enter the mountain?"

Zhang Xiaohua cupped her hands and said seriously: "It must be the beginning of the twelfth lunar month of the 22nd year of Jinfeng."

The man smiled and said: "I admire you, I admire you! It's such a great destiny."

Immediately, a smile stayed on his face, where was he? It’s just January, aren’t you kidding me?

Zhang Xiaohua secretly smiled in her heart and asked again: "Excuse me, brother, where can I buy food in this town? Anything is fine, as long as it can fill my stomach."

Just as the man was about to speak, he suddenly rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "No store is open during the Chinese New Year. However, my little brother doesn't have high requirements. As long as he fills his stomach, he has a place to go."

Zhang Xiaohua said happily: "Please give me some advice, big brother."

The man pointed to the distance and said: "Go from here, to the intersection, turn left, go straight to a grocery store, turn right, go straight, at the end is a Shiweitian restaurant, maybe at this time It's open. If it's not open either, I'm afraid my little brother will be hungry."

After saying that, Zhang Xiaohua thanked him again and again, and then ran along the path pointed by the man.

The young man behind him curled his lips, smiled evilly, and walked away.

When Zhang Xiaohua came to Shiweitian along the designated route, she couldn't help but be stunned.

It’s not that Shiweitian didn’t open the door, but that the entrance to Shiweitian was busy with traffic and the crowds were extremely noisy. It turned out that Shiweitian was the most prosperous restaurant in the town. New Year is the best time for restaurant business, so how could it not open the door? The reason for welcoming guests?

However, Zhang Xiaohua was sitting on wax.

Not to mention that Zhang Xiaohua has never had any experience in restaurants since she was a child. On the way to Pingyang City, she once ate in an inn where the carriages and horses were passing. She followed Zhang Xiaohu there. Besides, the guests of this restaurant, Either they came here with carriages or horses, or they were dressed in silk and satin. They were all fat and big-eared. It seemed that the quality of this restaurant was not too low, but I couldn't get in.

While he was hesitating, Zhang Xiaohua's stomach growled.

Helpless, Zhang Xiaohua gritted her teeth and stepped forward.

The waiter in front of Shiweitianmen was sweating profusely in front of the door to welcome guests. Suddenly he saw a country boy coming hesitantly. He couldn't help but frown secretly and said to himself: "Country boy, don't even look where you are. Just come to the door without permission."

I was about to wait for Zhang Xiaohua to go up and scold her, but when I got closer, the waiter discovered that although Zhang Xiaohua's clothes were old, they were not made of the common fabrics of country people. The waiter had such a bad eye, so he took a closer look. , tailored to fit, must not have been picked up or stolen. Although it was not new, I couldn’t figure out its identity, so I quickly changed my face and said with a smile: "This little brother, what is the reason for coming to Shiweitian?" ?”

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the waiter's appearance and secretly thought that the waiters in this big restaurant were different and professional. They did not lower their service level just because of their young age.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Of course you come to the restaurant to eat. What else can you do?"

The waiter blushed for a while, yes, he thought that the restaurant was high-end, and this young man came to eat without money. Maybe he came to see someone or ask something, but he didn't expect that he came here to eat. People cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. This appearance An inconspicuous boy turned out to be a wealthy man.

So the waiter quickly bowed, waved his hand, and made a gesture to invite Zhang Xiaohua in.

When Zhang Xiaohua entered the restaurant, it was an eye-opener. It was already late and it was already past dinner time, but the restaurant was still noisy and there were almost no empty seats. Zhang Xiaohua didn't know what to do. The waiter smiled and said, "Have you thought about the clean private rooms on the second floor?"

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she thought to herself: "Bring it to me. Who knows if there is a private room fee or a minimum consumption here? Although I have never been to a restaurant, the ancients said it is good. I have never eaten pork and never seen a pig running? This grinder There are a lot of books about the knife-huohuo thing, but I won't be slaughtered for nothing."

So Zhang Xiaohua quickly waved her hands and said: "It's great here, it's so lively."

The waiter didn't force himself and found a small table on the first floor for Zhang Xiaohua to sit at.

Afterwards, he poured tea for Zhang Xiaohua, brought the ordering card, and asked Zhang Xiaohua to order. The name of the dish was written on the menu. Zhang Xiaohua didn’t understand it very well, but he could see the price on it. I understand, I turned over it one by one, and in the end, I secretly pouted, why is it so expensive? I don’t know what it is, and I can’t bear to spend money.

The waiter at the shop didn't even order when he saw all the dishes, thinking that he didn't like what he liked, so he smiled and said, "If you are not satisfied, the shop also has secret dishes, I will tell you a few." , see if you are satisfied.”

The waiter swallowed his saliva and announced the names of several dishes in one breath. The voice was high and low, and it was very pleasant. Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised when he heard it. This restaurant was different. Naming the dishes was like singing, but , and when he casually asked about the price of a dish, he immediately felt embarrassed. It was actually much more expensive than what was on the menu.

Zhang Xiaohua rolled his eyes and asked: "Brother, how do you sell the free rice in your restaurant?"

The guy was stunned and said casually: "You can get free rice for free."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua was very happy and clapped her hands and said: "Okay, that's it. Bring me five big bowls of white rice!"

The waiter trembled and almost dropped the menu in his hand. He glared at Zhang Xiaohua fiercely. If he hadn't been in public, for fear of affecting the restaurant's business, the waiter just wanted to step over and grab Zhang Xiaohua with one hand. He grabbed Xiaohua's neck and threw him out with shaking hands. Wasn't he amusing himself?

Seeing the angry look in the man's eyes, Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, with a harmless smile on his face, and asked: "Man, what are you doing here? Go to work quickly and give me free rice."

The waiter gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Sir, this rice is free, but you still have to order some dishes."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "You didn't say anything just now."

The waiter lowered his head and said, "That was the villain's negligence. Please forgive me."

Zhang Xiaohua asked: "Do I have to order food?"

The waiter said: "Yes."

Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "Are you sure? Do you have to order food?"

The waiter affirmed: "Yes, I am sure and definitely."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Haha, I didn't know what to order until you told me. Why didn't you say that I knew I had to order? Since you said it, I have no choice but to order. Okay, let's just order this." "

Zhang Xiaohua pointed to the cheapest "Spicy Chicken Offal" on the menu.

The waiter looked at it and asked, "Sir, are you sure?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said: "Definitely, definitely."

The waiter said: "The guest sir doesn't regret it anymore?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "No, I have always been trustworthy. As the ancients said, a gentleman can quickly whip his horse and whip his horse with a word, and this is what he says."

The waiter nodded and said, "Why don't you, sir, add other dishes?"

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head and said, "No need, but I still want those five big bowls of rice."

So the waiter took the menu and said, "Please wait a moment." Then he staggered away full of resentment.

After the waiter left, Zhang Xiaohua poured a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and still felt unsatisfied. After drinking three glasses in a row, she slowed down slightly and thought to herself: "The tea in this restaurant is just average. Compared to The mountain spring water at my house is far from enough. However, this tea seems to be free of charge, so you can drink more."

After thinking about it, he was about to pour the fourth cup, but the teapot was empty. Zhang Xiaohua called out: "Waiter, please add some more tea?"

The waiter at the shop had just walked back and handed the menu to the chef when he was called over. He was still wondering in his heart. Did he remember that he had just given the young man a slow pot of tea? Did I remember it wrong?

After the waiter refilled the tea, Zhang Xiaohua poured another full cup, drank it, looked up and looked around the restaurant.

It was already past dinner time, and most of the customers in the restaurant were drinking and chatting. Next to Zhang Xiaohua was a table of five big men, dressed in smart clothes, drinking and chatting.

Perhaps because they were sitting close to each other and the men's voices were loud, Zhang Xiaohua had no intention of listening to their conversation, but those words did not reach her ears easily.

He only heard: "Damn it, how come someone like this is sent to such a poor place for the Chinese New Year? It's really not a life for human beings."

Another person said: "Yeah, I used to spend New Year's Eve not guarding my wife and children, but why did I have such a long dart this year?"

One person said: "There is no way. The customer is in a hurry and time is tight, so we can only go there during the New Year."

Another person said: "However, the reward this time is quite large, almost double the usual amount."

One person said: "Then you are an old hater. The government has regulations that pay three times the salary for work on holidays. Why is this so different?"

Another person said: "Really? Why didn't I know? No, I have to talk to my head later, and we must not suffer any loss."

One person said: "Pull him down, Zhang Tou is also a newcomer. Although he has gained some prestige during this period, he is not an upright head guard of the escort agency after all. It is better to inquire in private first."

Another person said: "Then you have to tell him and make preparations in advance. Maybe he doesn't even know it."

One person said: "That's okay. It's nice to open your head on weekdays and you are enthusiastic. Maybe talking to the boss can make up for it."

Another voice said: "Let's talk about these things when we go back. Isn't coming to a restaurant just for drinking? It's only right to wait for the errands to be finished quickly so that you can go home. In this town, this restaurant is the only one that is attractive. It's just to find a drinker. There’s no place for alcohol either.”

One person said: "Yes, there are, but it's a pity that we can catch our eyes? Besides, it's the Chinese New Year and people have to go home. How many of them are still waiting for you to take care of them in the yard?"

Then several people talked about some men's topics obscenely. Zhang Xiaohua was now at an age where she seemed to understand something, and her face turned red when she heard it, but she couldn't cover her ears, so she had to drink water to distract her attention. , accidentally, the teapot was empty again.

Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to shout again: "Brother, please add some water."
