Chapter 401 I heard from the prince that you are a member of the Ying clan living among the people and the brother of the King of Qin!

As soon as you enter Peixian County, the unique aroma of dog meat will hit your nostrils. It is fragrant, mellow and timeless.

Regardless of the taste, among livestock, few can outshine dogs in terms of aroma. Otherwise, dog meat would not be called fragrant meat.

Ying Chengyu closed his eyes and sniffed hard, feeling that the scent of dogs in Peixian County was similar to the smell of barbecue fireworks that filled the city in Jinzhou in his previous life.

Of course, I'm not talking about the taste, but the atmosphere.

He looked around and randomly found a restaurant. He took Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, inside, and was led by the store clerk to a table full of grease.

The waiter took the wet linen cloth and wiped the table hard twice, putting on a humble and flattering smile.

"What would you like to order, sir?"

"You make the arrangements."

The guy's smile immediately became slightly stiff.

If it weren't for the handsome young man in front of him, who was dressed in black brocade and had a jade belt with chilongs embroidered around his waist, he wouldn't look like those scoundrels who can't afford food. He also spoke with an accent that was obviously from Guanzhong. .

The waiter had already treated me coldly and started chasing away customers.

Liu Ji, a well-known rogue in Peixian County, often went to various restaurants before he had a falling out with his family. He would sit there without ordering, and would shout with his neck raised:

"Come over if you have anything delicious to eat."

All the restaurant owners knew that their father was Mrs. Liu, and they were not afraid of defaulting on their bills. They grinned from ear to ear and paid for the expensive and good ones in the store.

It didn’t take long for all the gangsters in Peixian County to learn this trick. They walked into the store with arms swinging and shouted:

"If you have any delicious food, bring it up and charge it to my eldest brother's account!"

For the first two days, no store dared to sell it.

When Liu Ji, with the support of a group of gangsters, personally visited the major restaurants in Peixian County to endorse his brothers, the owners of each shop were overjoyed and only wanted the most expensive dishes rather than the best.

It happened that Old Madam Liu was out visiting friends in those days and was not in Peixian County. The Liu family had to bear the food for the entire Peixian County gang while Old Madam Liu was away.

As long as you call Liu Ji "Big Brother", Big Brother will guarantee your food. When you enter a restaurant, you can ask the store owner to order whatever you want, and it will be recorded in Big Brother's account.

During that time, gangsters in Peixian County collectively opened blind boxes, and the dog meat in Peixian County was sold out.

A few days later, Mrs. Liu returned to Peixian County. When he found out about this, he tied Liu Ji to a stone roller in the yard and beat him violently. Three sticks were broken in a row.

The money that has been paid before will not be pursued, but anyone who comes to the Liu family again to beg for food money will not be given.

The next day, the Liu family was accustomed to going to various restaurants where the Liu family had settled daily and asked for food money, but the Liu family refused. The Liu family only agreed to settle Liu Ji's account, and many gangsters were not from the Liu family in the first place.

The restaurant owners were dumbfounded, but if this matter really came to the attention of the government, there was absolutely no reason for the Liu family to lose money. If those gangsters were asked to pay for the food, those gangsters wouldn't be able to afford it.

The shopkeepers, who lost a day's revenue, have since made repeated orders to the store clerks, and will kick out anyone who dares to serve food casually.

The gangsters in Peixian County no longer recognize their big brother since they have lost their free meal tickets.

Liu Ji, who was devastated by losing his status as the boss of Peixian County, was furious and unilaterally severed the father-son relationship with his father.

Seeing that the waiter didn't move, Ying Chengyu guessed that he was worried that he couldn't pay. He smiled, took a piece of gold from his pocket and put it in the waiter's hand.

Restaurant waiters have no other skills, but they have become passive in the past ten years or so, except for the delivery of goods and the identification of genuine and counterfeit money.

He held it in his hand and weighed it with very small movements. Then he tilted his palm and a piece of gold rolled down the slope, just between the thumb and index finger. After pinching it with two fingers, he knew that the piece of gold was real.

It can't be truer.

One gold is equal to one thousand qian, and one thousand qian is enough to sit in the second seat at Mrs. Liu's birthday banquet.

The waiter secretly smacked his tongue, and with a flattering smile on his face, he carefully returned the gold to the wealthy young man from out of town in front of him.

The moment Ying Chengyu opened his mouth to speak, the waiter knew that he was not from Peixian County.

"The little man dared to make an order for the guest. The guest will keep it for one gold and tie it after eating. The little man would not dare to touch such a large number."

Ying Chengqiao nodded with a smile and said warmly:

"Trouble."

"No trouble, no trouble, no trouble..."

The waiter was flattered. It was the first time he met such a rich and polite young man. When he was excited, he could only repeat the words "no trouble" and didn't know what to say.

He trotted back to ask the chef to prepare food, his steps became three points lighter, and he whispered:

"This is the real master, Liu San is a bastard!"

It's not yet noon, it's not lunch time, and there aren't many people in the restaurant.

On the desk, which was still shiny after being wiped twice, there was a teapot and teacup filled with water.

Ying Chengyu poured water for himself and Zhao Gongming while looking at the interior of the store.

Everything you see is wood, with textures everywhere, and there is no sign of stone in the entire restaurant. The main color of the restaurant is bright red, but there are large tables placed in the small space.

Zhao Gongming thanked him, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water. When he entered Peixian County, Ying Chengyu, whose eyes never stopped, said in confusion:

"What are you looking at, Mr. Chang'an?"

"Customs and customs."

"You can see the local customs, but there are only two of you and me in this room, so where does the favor come from?"

Ying Chengyu smiled calmly.

"Naturally, one can understand people's feelings by observing the local customs.

"Compared with stone, wood is lighter, easier to process, and much inferior in hardness. It became the first choice material for construction in the Chu State. In addition to the large number of forests and swamps in the Chu State and the abundance of wood, there is another reason why the Chu people worship nature.

, respect nature.

"The architectural decorations of Chu State mostly use red, because Chu people love red. This concept originated from ancient totems and ancestor worship consciousness, and Chu people identified them as descendants of the Zhu Rong family.

"Red is the color of fire, symbolizing the south, and is the color of life. Chu people's personalities are like fire, bright and unrestrained. The Chu people's temperament can also be seen from the size of this table.

"The room here is small, and most of the diners come in groups of three or two, but the tables are all large enough to seat eight people. Either the store owner doesn't know how to do business, or the Chu people like to be big and big."

Zhao Gongming held a sip of water in his mouth for a long time and forgot to swallow it, missing his innocent black tiger.

After swallowing the warm water in his mouth, Zhao Gongming looked at Ying Chengyu with sympathy.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I originally thought that practicing cultivation was the most difficult thing in the world, but it turns out that being a royal son in Qin is even more difficult."

What do I need to learn to be able to know the character of the local people by looking at the architecture?

"It's not difficult."

Ying Chengyu shook his head seriously.

Compared with the tens of millions of people in the world who are hungry and struggling for survival, he, who has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child and favored by many forces in the Qin State, is not worthy of saying that it is difficult.

Soon, a sumptuous dog meat feast was ready.

There are stewed dog meat, roasted dog meat, and sauced dog meat. The whole table is filled with dog-related food.

The shopkeeper, who learned from the clerk that Ying Chengyu was very expensive, personally brought two jars of wine to him and talked with a smile:

"You two have come all the way to taste the unique flames of our Peixian County. It is not only powerful, but it can also cure epilepsy."

[Cure epilepsy!]

Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up and he took the initiative to take the wine jar, took the wine bowl and poured a full bowl of wine for Ying Chengyu, thinking that Lord Chang'an should have a few more bowls.

The wine is dark red in color, and there is a fishy smell when it is poured out, which is extremely difficult to smell when mixed with the aroma floating in Peixian County.

[This God of Wealth turns out to love drinking.]

Ying Chengyu thought in his mind, picked up the wine bowl and said:

"I have heard for a long time that the people of Chu are heroic, but now I know it is true.

"I've seen restaurants use wine bowls instead of wine glasses a few times. But it's the first time I've seen a customer use a jar instead of a pot to serve wine without saying anything."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

After being praised by others, and seeing that Ying Chenglong didn't blush or breath after drinking a full drink, the shopkeeper was overjoyed and gave a loud shout.

"color!

"Looking at the way the guest officer drinks, he is also a lover of wine. If you can tell me what is unique about Lieyan, I will give it to you from these two altars!"

Zhao Gongming held the wine jar and poured the second bowl for Ying Chengyu.

In this world, when it comes to brewing high-alcohol wine, Ying Chengyu said that no one would dare to claim to be the first after being second. He was used to drinking high-alcohol wine in his previous life, and he could drink several jars of any wine in this world.

He wiped his mouth and said with a smile:

"Then thank you in advance. As soon as this wine is taken into the mouth, it is accompanied by the rich smell of blood that is the same as the aroma of the city. It must be that dog blood was added during the brewing, right?"

"Cai! What the guest officer said is true, these two altars of flames are free of charge!"

Ying Chengyu stopped the shopkeeper who was about to leave and said with a smile:

"The shopkeeper is really generous. Do you want to make a bet? If I can guess whether the flames are new wine or old wine, can I avoid this table of dog meat? If I can't guess, I'll pay double.

"I'm from Qin, coming from Guanzhong. Liquor is prohibited in Guanzhong, and people are not allowed to make or sell wine. I know that most of them can't guess, but I am a gambler by nature. Is the shopkeeper willing to gamble?"

The shopkeeper didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Since we can guess that dog blood is added to the wine, blood is added to the wine, so naturally it cannot be stored. Lieyan is all new wine, where is the old wine? The guest does not look like a Qin person, but like a businessman."

"Haha, the shopkeeper saw through it." Ying Chengyu took out a piece of gold from his pocket, put it on the table, and said, "I give you this to cover your restaurant. Each table on the upper and lower floors will be filled with wine and food.

Can I ask the shopkeeper to call a few more people for me?"

The shopkeeper was delighted when he saw the gold. He covered it with gold with one hand and patted his chest with the other.

"Not to mention a few people, as long as they are in Peixian County, I can call the guest officer for dozens of people."

One gold is enough for one person to eat in this restaurant for a year.

"That's the best thing. Don't worry, shopkeeper, they are all from Pei County. Liu Ji and Fan Kuai."

"Chang'an-kun still doesn't understand what onmyoji is."

Zhao Gongming interrupted Ying Chengyu who was reporting his name.

After being together for such a long time, he had solved the misunderstanding and knew that Ying Chengyu really didn't know Yin and Yang, rather than hiding his clumsiness. Of course, he still thought that Ying Chengyu had a madness.

Ying Chengyu asked the shopkeeper to leave first, indicating that there was no need to look for anyone yet, and turned around and asked:

"How to say?"

Zhao Gongming put down the wine jar, stood up, faced the restaurant door, and straightened his clothes.

Ying Chengyu narrowed his eyes, and soon he felt the familiar energy approaching at a constant speed, and he looked towards the door of the restaurant.

[Liu San has such a wealthy friend in Guanzhong? Lord Chang'an, why are these three words so familiar?]

The shopkeeper, who seemed to have gotten a piece of gold for free, held the gold in his hands, filled with joy, and pondered it secretly.

At the moment when Zhao Gongming had finished tidying up his clothes, someone came through the door.

Before the waiter could quickly come forward to greet him, Zhao Gongming raised his hand and made a sound like thunder, which startled the shopkeeper and the waiter.

"Zhongnan Mountain Qi practitioner Zhao Gongming has seen Gui Guzi."

The initiate had a strange appearance, with four moles on his head. He was none other than Guiguzi Wang Xu.

Guiguzi didn't even look at Zhao Gongming, and pretended he didn't hear the loud roar like thunder.

He crossed the threshold, went straight to Ying Chengyu, sat beside Ying Chengyu and said:

"If you can ask your Majesty to take the initiative to find him, Xu is the first person to do so."

Ying Chengqiao smiled and said:

"The prince is such a talented person, if the emperor knew about it, the motorcade would not stop in Xiang County. His courtesy towards the prince should be much more grand than mine.

"But there is one thing that Cheng Xi doesn't understand. Why didn't the prince show his miraculous calculation skills when he was by Cheng Xi's side? I just asked the shopkeeper to go find the prince, but unexpectedly, the prince knew that I was coming.

"You can also bring all the people I want to see. It's a good idea for the prince."

At the door of the restaurant, a large shadow fell into it.

With a serious look on his face, Liu Ji crossed his arms and stopped the third-in-command of Pei County's civil affairs, Xiao He, who was about to enter.

Behind the two men, there were five more people, namely the jailer Cao Shen, the butcher Fan Kuai, the gangster Lu Wan, the stable official Xia Houying, and the gangster Zhou Bo.

"Let's go!"

Liu Ji said in a deep voice!

After saying that, he immediately turned around, grabbed Fan Kuai and Lu Wan, and ran away as fast as possible without any intention of stopping.

He was filled with horror. The black-faced man in the restaurant actually called Mr. Wang, whom he knew, Guiguzi!

Although he had known about Gui Su for a long time and had deliberately approached him, there was no way he would have guessed that a living old man would be Gui Guzi, who was famous as his disciple more than two hundred years ago!

Gui Guzi's voice was not as loud as Zhao Gongming's. Liu Ji, who was standing at the door, did not hear Gui Guzi's conversation with Ying Chengyu.

But Liu Ji saw it.

He saw Gui Guzi sitting next to Ying Chengyu, showing a hint of respect for Ying Chengyu's behavior!

Who could make the legendary Gui Guzi treat him with such an attitude? Liu Ji couldn't think of one after exhausting his entire life experience.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although he didn't really believe that the old man was Guiguzi, he didn't want to try it himself.

The cost of trial and error is too high and he cannot afford it.

If he were alone, he would be sitting on the table with a playful smile. If he could meet such heroes, why not die?

But he is not alone. Behind him is the Liu family, the first family in Peixian County.

Over the years, he has grown up a lot. He is no longer the playboy who takes care of the entire Pei County just for the sake of face. He has to think about his family.

His father, Mrs. Liu, was able to dominate Peixian County and make Peixian County tremble three times with a stamp of his feet. But in front of such legendary figures, Liu Ji knew very well that he was not enough to watch.

If knowing the people in the restaurant is a disaster, then the entire Liu family will disappear.

He thinks a lot, but not enough.

Liu Ji, who has never been in contact with the real upper class society, cannot understand the power that a person standing at the top of the world has in his hands.

When they first arrived, including Gui Guzi, there were eight of them in total.

But when I wanted to leave, the number of people increased more than ten times!

He has known Liu Ge, a farmer who has been farming in Peixian County for more than ten years, and Wu, Cha, Dou, Liang, who are also farmers...

There are also the gangsters who called him Big Brother, who used to open blind boxes and have a feast in Peixian County, gangbuntu, ganglou...

The farmers held hoes and were covered in soil, as if they were rushing back from the fields.

The gangsters were disheveled and had many scars from fighting.

They blocked Liu Ji's retreat, and the look in their eyes made Liu Ji frightened. The look in their eyes was just like the Wei soldiers he saw when he went to Daliang of Wei to defect to Lord Xinling.

No, the impact was stronger than that brought by Wei Wuzu!

Liu Ji has known each of these farmers and gangsters for a long time.

They stood there, breathing at the same frequency, complementing each other, like a whole, blocking every possibility of Liu Ji's escape. This was a military formation!

Da~

Da~

In this case, the footsteps are particularly clear.

Liu Ji suddenly looked back and saw the noble son, who was treated with caution by Gui Guzi, walking out of the threshold.

As it approached, Liu Ji felt short of breath.

What oppressed him was not only the young master in front of him who seemed to be the unbelievable leader of the siege from outside, but also the man in front of him. Only nobles could experience that aura of nobility that seemed to be made in heaven, as if everything in the world could be obtained if he wanted it.

!

"I heard from the prince that you are a member of the Ying family living among the people and a brother of the King of Qin."

Ying Chengyu smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Let me meet you. My name is Ying Chengyu. Like you, I am also the brother of King Qin."
