In March in Hangzhou, the grass is growing and orioles are flying, the flowers are blooming, the spring breeze is green all over the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the fireworks of Jiangnan are everywhere.
Juxiangyuan Restaurant is located on the south bank of West Lake, facing the water. It is divided into upper and lower floors. It serves a variety of dishes, snacks, fine wines, and fragrant tea. It captures the essence of Jiangnan cuisine and is well-known throughout the country.
At noon, the restaurant was full of guests, and the guests who came here almost filled the door. The waiters were very busy running instead of walking.
A guest walked in and stood out among the crowd.
The waiter Xiaosan noticed this customer at first sight and could hardly look away.
This guest was tall, dressed in black robe, with long hair shawl. He just glanced around the restaurant lazily, but he looked like a king.
If he is said to be a member of the royal family who visited privately via incognito, Xiao San will definitely believe it.
Seeing that the seats were packed, the guests slightly frowned and seemed to be leaving.
The mistress hurried to the door, nodded and bowed to the guest: "Welcome, sir, please come upstairs."
It was really a shame for the restaurant to let such a guest leave without even having a cup of tea. He couldn't let this happen.
The guest glanced at him and followed him upstairs
Only then did the mistress realize that there was an attendant following behind him. This attendant also looked very imposing, lean and fierce, with thick eyebrows and leopard eyes, a hooked nose, thin lips pressed tightly, and a cold and solemn look. He kept two steps away from the guest.
distance
When we got upstairs, there happened to be a table of customers by the window who were checking out and leaving. Xiaosan rushed over with quick eyes and quick feet, quickly cleared the table and invited the guests to sit down.
After the guests were seated, they casually ordered West Lake vinegar fish, boiled shrimps, fried beef with soy sauce and two plates of side dishes to go with wine, plus a jar of bamboo leaf greens.
His attendants always stood behind him and did not sit down until their master signaled them to do so.
While the waiter poured wine for the guest, he secretly looked at the guest.
Although he was just a young boy, he had been working in the restaurant for five years and had met countless rich and powerful people. However, the nobility and kingly aura that this guest exuded in his casual manner still made him fall in love at first sight.
Respectfully, although I don’t know the guest’s background, he must be from an extraordinary place.
Although this guest cannot be said to be very young, he is very charming. All the guests in the restaurant are secretly looking at him.
He was obviously used to other people's prying eyes. He was drinking and enjoying the scenery by himself, as if there was no one around.
His attendants, on the contrary, always have a sullen face, a pair of sharp and vigilant leopard eyes, as if they are about to explode at the slightest sign of trouble.
After the mistress saw the leopard-eyed man leaning over and saying something to the guest, he turned around and ran over quickly and wisely: "What are your orders, sir?"
The leopard-eyed man said: "Are there any good guest rooms here?"
The mistress said: "Yes, it's the best guest room in Tianzi size. Are you two going to stay there?"
"My master wants to stay for one night, and the two rooms are connected."
"The guest room is right behind this restaurant. I'll get ready right away."
Just as he was about to leave, he seemed to have forgotten something and asked boldly: "May I ask your guest's name?"
The leopard-eyed man glared at him: "My master's surname is Long."
The mistress bowed her head and hurried to go through the formalities and check the room. She couldn't make any mistakes when receiving such a guest.
In the corner of the second floor, a pair of drunken and cold eyes stared at the man named Long resentfully through the crowds of figures.
This man, no matter where he is or what he is doing, even if he is just sitting lazily like this, he cannot be ignored.
The Dragon King - the man who ruined him and her. He had only met him once, but he had never forgotten him. He even thought of this man often, and his heart tightened every time he thought of it.
