Depart from the cottage.

About five o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhang Feng returned to Liangcheng carrying two bear paws in a big cowhide bag.

The remaining items were left to the headmaster and the others.

And now.

By the city gate.

Zhang Feng lowered the brim of his hat and thought for a moment. Instead of going back to the store first, he went to the street to the west of the cloth store and prepared to deal with the bear's paws.

Since you want to eat well, of course you need to find a skilled chef.

Also in the east part of the city, there is a restaurant that is famous for its braised dishes.

Shopkeeper Sun cooks fish and sells wine.

Among them, he not only sells his braised fish, but also takes in some cooking jobs such as donkey meat and venison.

For example, if someone hunts a rare prey and doesn't know how to cook it, and doesn't know how to remove the fishy smell, he will bring it to shopkeeper Sun.

All it takes is some money for materials and time.

Shopkeeper Sun promises to be as good as the chefs in various restaurants in Liangcheng.

Zhang Feng thought about it and prepared to go to Shopkeeper Sun's store.

For a time, it was accompanied by pedestrians and hawkers coming and going on the street.

Occasionally children ran past playing.

Zhang Feng carried the bag through the crowd and finally stopped at a store selling roasted fish.

At the same time, inside the store more than ten meters ahead.

There was a sturdy middle-aged man standing at the counter, chopping the sauce-colored braised pork on the chopping board.

The middle-aged man is the person he is looking for, ‘Shopkeeper Sun’.

He not only cooks braised pork, but also braised pork.

Anyone who doesn't know how to make it will use their ingredients and colors.

It's just that he has guests now, so he'll have to wait.

Zhang Feng knew very well that his reputation was too great and it would not be good if he scared people.

"As you said, it's all cut into pieces~"

After shopkeeper Sun cut the braised pork, he took out a paper bag from the side, opened it with a flick of his fingers, swept it on the table, and put all the meat in it.

"Take it." Shopkeeper Sun smiled kindly and handed it to the customer in front of him.

The customer took the bag with a smile, smelled the aroma, sniffed greedily, and finally resisted the thought of eating on the street and turned around to leave.

When Zhang Feng saw the previous guests leaving, he stepped forward and placed the cowhide bag and Dayang on the counter in front of the chopping board.

"Bring one in braise first and serve it as food and wine. Can you please shopkeeper Sun to store the other one in your cellar first?"

"There's a little too much money..."

Shopkeeper Sun was about to accept the money and change it, but when he looked up, he saw it was Zhang Feng from the cloth shop in the south.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked around. Instead of picking up the ocean on the table, he turned around and walked to the big wine vat, opened the lid, took down a clean wine jar from the shelf on the wall, and filled it with a ladle.

A jar full of soju,

"Brother Zhang did a good job!"

He placed the wine jar on the counter, closed the lid, and gave a thumbs up: "I'm here to buy this wine! Braised Bear's Paw. Wait for about an hour, and I'll ask my apprentice to deliver it to you!"

"Shopkeeper Sun, what are you talking about?" Zhang Feng took the wine jar with a smile, nodded to Dayang on the table, and joked: "No need to look for it, just count the money for the wine. If it's not enough, don't ask for it from me."

The words fell.

Zhang Feng carried the wine jar and walked towards the cloth store.

night.

It's a sumptuous meal.

Because bears often dig out bees and ants' nests and add honey when frying them, the taste is self-explanatory.

I also had enough to eat and drink this night.

Zhang Feng was practicing martial arts and boxing in the backyard as usual, honing his physique.

unconsciously.

Time passed quietly.

But it was also on the twelfth day after Zhang Feng returned.

It’s noon today.

The cloth shop is two miles away.

In the back kitchen courtyard of Lin's Restaurant.

Boss Lin was watching a few young apprentices practicing kungfu while weighing pots and shovels.

Master Lin came out of the restaurant ahead, approached and whispered,

"Dad, everything has been arranged for the evening..."

What Master Lin is talking about is that today the "Shopkeeper Zhao" of the Liangcheng Chamber of Commerce invited a famous opera troupe from the outer city and invited all the shopkeepers of the Liangcheng Chamber of Commerce to gather in the Lin Family Restaurant to listen to the opera.

President Zheng also came to listen to the Qin Opera, "Changbanpo"

And there are many kinds of entertainment these days.

Some people can't afford to pay for it by selling people.

Some theater troupes are small workshops that only take care of food and singing.

There are also big troupes that I heard were invited by big shots, but they didn't pay for them at all and instead brought their own dry food.

But this time, the Liangcheng Chamber of Commerce and the theater troupe have the same reputation in each territory, that is, "please".

One party pays, the other sings the ceremony, and neither party defaults.

"Don't worry, dad!" Young Master Lin was still making a guarantee, "Since today's event is for our Lin family, I will definitely do it well! I will definitely not lose your face!"

"Hmm..." Boss Lin nodded and asked the apprentices to practice first, but when he turned around and took Master Lin to a room in the courtyard, he suddenly turned around and said with a straight face: "You have not embarrassed yourself enough?"

"Dad..." Young Master Lin smiled awkwardly and changed the subject, "According to the president's instructions, all the shopkeepers in the east of the city should send invitations to us...but...but...shopkeeper Li..."

"What's wrong with Shopkeeper Li?" Boss Lin was sitting at the table next to him. "We are all members of the Chamber of Commerce, and we are on the same street. We can't see each other without looking up. Are you still planning to hide from Zhang Feng's family for the rest of your life?"

Let me tell you, go and invite Brother Zhang and Shopkeeper Li in person."

"No...Dad!" Master Lin suddenly cried in embarrassment when he heard his father asked him to invite Zhang Feng.

"Dad, haven't you heard...that Zhang Feng killed more than 20 people from the Lian Yan Gang...don't mention...don't mention that your son still has a grudge against him...just in case...just in case his anger is still there,

What if you just give it to your son?"

"Give it to you?" When Boss Lin heard this, he suddenly fell into deep thought and felt that it was indeed possible.

So he thought for a few moments, nodded and said: "Then I will treat you as my son."

"I..." Master Lin suddenly stopped talking and stood still, expressing his silence to express that he didn't want to go.

Boss Lin glanced at him, saw his silence, and asked again, "Are you going?"

Master Lin shook his head resolutely, "If you don't want to go, I won't go! If you want to go, let the waiter in our restaurant go! Others are flexible..."

"Please leave Brother Zhang's business to the servants?" Boss Lin frowned and gradually raised his big palm.

..

"So... Shopkeeper Zhao from the south of the city is inviting you to dinner, and the president is also going?"

Zhang Feng sat on the bench in the store and looked at Master Lin standing at the door of the store.

He has been here for a while, but he just stood at the door talking and had no intention of coming in.

But Master Lin is not here to cause trouble this time.

After hearing Zhang Feng's inquiry, he respectfully held up his hands and replied to Shopkeeper Li and Zhang Feng,

"Yes, Shopkeeper Li, Brother Zhang, and Shopkeeper Zhao from the south of the city have invited a theatrical troupe. The favors are placed in our Linjiachang today. They want to entertain our shopkeeper from the Chamber of Commerce. But now the shopkeeper on Chengdongnan Street is waiting for you two.

.”

Master Lin spoke generously, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.

Just as Zhang Feng suddenly stood up.

‘Wow’

He was so frightened that he subconsciously took a step back and backed out of the door. However, when he saw that Zhang Feng did not make a move, but instead clasped his fists to return a salute to him, he smiled a few times and stepped back again.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lin, please make a special trip." Zhang Feng'er clasped his fists solemnly, showing no intention of laughing at his loss of composure just now.

"No trouble..." Master Lin smiled, cupped his fists, turned and left.

But when he came to the door, he let out a sigh of relief and sighed in his heart, 'It's really scary to death, I might as well get a slap from my father...'

At the same time, inside the store.

Shopkeeper Li saw Master Lin leaving and looked at Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng picked up the Tang Dao beside the bench and hung it on his waist, "Lin's Restaurant, let's listen to the show and have dinner?"

"If Brother Zhang doesn't want to go..." Shopkeeper Li glanced at the Tang Dao on Zhang Feng's waist, "I'll talk to the president."

"The Lin family has invited me, how can I not go?" Zhang Feng asked curiously, "We are all members of the same chamber of commerce, and we are close friends on the street."

As he said that, Zhang Feng looked at Lao Qi next to him.

"We had a bear paw left some time ago. Let's go take it out from the cellar of Lao Sun's house and send it to the Lin's Restaurant so that their chef can watch it cook.

I've heard about their chef Lin for a long time, and he's very good at braised braises. But something happened a while ago, and I was really embarrassed to go to their house for dinner, for fear that their people would be upset if they saw me.

But tonight the president is having a banquet, and people from the Lin family are also coming.

You have to try his craftsmanship, how does it compare to Shopkeeper Sun?"

"The Lin family's chef is indeed a master..." Shopkeeper Li nodded in acquiescence, but then looked at Zhang Feng's Tang Dao, "It's just Brother Zhang..."

"There's no point in bringing a knife." Zhang Feng patted the Tang Dao and said, "Defense yourself."

..

Time flies by.

Around six o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhang Feng and shopkeeper Li explained to Lao Qi and others, and then set off from the cloth shop.

Although the banquet starts at eight o'clock, it's definitely a good idea to go early.

Come to the street.

Zhang Feng didn't go far when he saw a lot of carriages parked on the street ahead, and two cars that couldn't squeeze in, so they stopped on the side of the road.

It can be seen that even though this banquet starts in two hours, all the shopkeepers in the city have arrived early.

Zhang Feng passed by a car and looked at it, and found that the car belonged to President Zheng.

"Shopkeeper Li is here!"

On the street, people around saw Zhang Feng and shopkeeper Li approaching, and they all said hello.

Many people also looked at Zhang Feng and wanted to say hello, but they didn't dare.

"Brother Zhang..." Some shopkeepers have been to the cloth store, met Zhang Feng, and had a few conversations with Zhang Feng.

At this time, when they saw Zhang Feng coming, they dared to step forward and say hello.

Especially when Zhang Feng returned the gift, they felt particularly proud!

Look, the number one murderer in Liangcheng knows me!

And when Zhang Feng was talking to them.

They even looked around, wanting more people to know that they knew Zhang Feng!

Zhang Feng didn't know them very well, but when he saw them greeting him, he felt that most of them were friends of Shopkeeper Li, so he nodded to them.

Bustling with various conversations.

Zhang Feng passed by several carriages and arrived in front of the Lin Family Restaurant with everyone.

At the same time, there were several tall people standing outside the restaurant.

Behind them were a dozen people carrying boxes, and there were many shopkeepers surrounding them.

Many people gathered outside the door, all looking at one of the young men and shouting "Zhao Yun!"

It's Wu Sheng's play.

Zhang Feng, Shopkeeper Li and others walked out of the crowd, glanced at them to the side, and then looked forward.

At this time, a waiter ran out of the restaurant and sang:

"The stage team has been set up, and the tables and benches have been set up~

Beat gongs and drums,
Chapter completed!
