"There are three guests at the T-shaped table, who are both professionals and staying at the hotel. They order a plate of spicy chicken, a plate of cooked beef, a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of vinegared cabbage, three large bowls of rice, and a pound of red wine!"
Zhao Zheng walked to the door of the kitchen, which was filled with oil smoke, and announced the names of many dishes in one breath.
The man in the kitchen, Tu Zi, responded, waved his hand, threw the vegetables in the pot into the air, and then caught them all. In the process, veins appeared on his arms, and his muscles also swelled, showing an astonishing appearance.
Arm strength.
Zhao Zheng grabbed the white rag on his shoulder and hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead. Before he could take a breath, there was another table of guests clamoring for more dishes. He smiled bitterly and ran over to greet them.
This is already Zhao Zheng's fortieth day as a waiter in the restaurant. During this period, he has received one month's salary, which is ten taels of silver. He said goodbye to the kitchen and ran to the lobby to help greet the guests. He has already mentioned the names of the dishes and the dishes.
He had memorized all the prices, and there was nothing wrong with them. In addition to greeting guests and serving dishes, he also had to be responsible for tethering horses and cleaning, but he was quite busy.
After these days of training, Zhao Zheng's eloquence has improved a lot, and he has gradually become accustomed to the ancient way of speaking. It is no longer a problem to occasionally say a few words.
In terms of interpersonal relationships, Zhao Zheng was already familiar with most of the people in the inn, especially the two waiters of the same age who got along best with each other. They often joked and laughed with each other in their free time.
Although Zhao Zheng wanted to please the shopkeeper Shen Luoxia, he did not make much progress. The relationship between the two parties was currently just that of employer and employee. Apart from saying hello, he had no chance to talk on weekdays.
Now I'm just a waiter in a shop. I don't have the ability, but I don't have the money. It's really difficult to please a female shopkeeper, and I have no chance to do anything.
In terms of martial arts, Zhao Zheng can only be considered a small success. His lower body leg skills have become much more stable, and the strength of his arms is also increasing day by day. However, he still has not reached the point where the system has been activated, and he is not yet a martial artist.
In "Riding Horses and Rivers", the realm of martial arts is divided into twelve levels, named in units of "heavens", which are the first level, the second level, the third level... and so on.
After this period of investigation, Zhao Zheng discovered that this world still uses the level names in the game, and the warriors all use Zhongtian to classify their strength.
Taking the people in the Hongchen Inn as an example, the shopkeeper Shen Luoxia has reached the third heaven, while Tuzi and the Laughing Ghost have only the second heaven, and Song Kuaizui is even lower, with only the strength of the first heaven. As for the strength of the first heaven.
Not to mention the other waiters in the shop.
The level of martial arts cultivation is not just a quantitative difference, but a fundamental difference. Each level has its own unique advantages.
In the first heaven, there is not much difference between warriors and ordinary people, except that they are a little stronger. After reaching the second heaven, earth-shaking changes will begin to occur.
After a martial artist reaches the second heaven, the epidermal skin will undergo qualitative changes and become extremely tough, which can greatly improve the ability to resist blows. If the same force is used to hit the warriors in the first and second heavens, the second heaven warrior will
The injuries suffered by warriors in Chongtian will be much lighter.
If you are a warrior who has practiced hard martial arts such as Iron Cloth Shirt, your skin can even become as golden as iron, resisting sword attacks!
As for the realm after the second heaven, it is even more magical and unpredictable. For Zhao Zheng now, it is an unreachable height.
Now he only wants to break through the realm of ordinary people and reach the first heaven as soon as possible. Maybe after reaching the first heaven, he can activate the system sleeping in his mind. He can't guess what functions the system has and what it can do. What benefits does it bring, so my heart is always full of expectations.
…
In the morning, everyone in the store has breakfast, so the waiters are extremely busy. Only after all the guests have finished eating, can they have free time to take a bite of food and rest for a while.
Zhao Zheng was sitting around a table with several waiters, holding a warm steamed bun in his hand, taking a bite of the steamed bun, eating a bite of green vegetables, and occasionally taking a sip of millet porridge. Due to the tiredness of work, and the fact that he was As he grows older, he has a particularly good appetite. He eats the most at every meal, even the taller butcher can't compare to him.
Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, a graceful figure appeared at the top of the stairs, strolling down slowly and leisurely.
The person who came was none other than Shen Luoxia, the shopkeeper of the store. She was dressed up as usual, wearing a pink long skirt. With the ups and downs of her steps, the lace at the bottom of the skirt trembled like waves.
Although they had known each other for a long time, the men in the store couldn't help but cast their eyes on Shen Luoxia, and the eyes of two of them contained a hint of passion.
Shen Luoxia was used to being stared at by men, and she also liked being stared at by men, so she didn't care if the waiter in the store looked directly at her. She smiled sweetly, lightly opened her lips and said, "I stayed in the inn for many days. I feel a little bored and plan to go to Qibao County for a visit. Do you have anything to buy? I can bring it back for you."
The guys all stayed in the inn, and even the clothes were distributed by the inn. There was really no need for more, so not many of them needed to bring anything from the county. Only a waiter who lived in Qibao County asked the shopkeeper to help him bring things home. Give me some money, and the shopkeeper readily agrees.
Zhao Zheng only had ten taels of silver in his body and had no intention of buying anything, but suddenly he remembered something important and stood up from his chair.
"Xiao Zhao, do you have anything to buy?" Seeing this, Shen Luoxia cast her silky and charming eyes on Zhao Zheng.
"Yes, I want to buy a flute." Zhao Zheng replied.
"Can you play the flute?" When Shen Luoxia heard the word flute, her expression suddenly changed, as if she cared about the instrument.
Zhao Zheng stared at Shen Luoxia's charming face and captured this detail. He was secretly happy and shook his head: "I can't brag."
"You don't know how to play the flute, why did you buy it?" Shen Luoxia said with a smile.
"The shopkeeper doesn't know. Although I can't play the flute, I have heard others play the flute before. When I heard the sound of the flute for the first time, I was fascinated by the sound and secretly decided that I must learn to play the flute in the future. Flute. This can be said to be a dream of mine." Zhao Zheng lied without hesitation. In fact, not only did he not know how to play the flute, but he also had no interest in musical instruments. The reason why he asked shopkeeper Shen to help him buy the flute was entirely because of Another purpose.
"So that's it. Okay then. I'll buy you one. But I'll say it first. If you don't know how to play, don't blow it randomly in the inn, so as not to disturb the guests in the hotel." Shen Luoxia's complexion gradually softened and returned to normal.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
Shen Luoxia asked around again and saw that no one needed to carry anything anymore, so she called Song Kuaizui and walked out of the inn together. Song Kuaizui took out the inn's carriage and became a temporary groom. In ancient times, horses were the most important thing. It is a good means of transportation, and many people have the skills to control horses and train horses. Shen Luoxia entered the carriage gracefully and lowered the curtain on the door.
Song Kuai raised his riding whip and pulled it out with a crisp sound. The horse raised its neck and started running, leaving a trail of smoke and dust on the Zhongguan Road, gradually moving away.
Zhao Zheng looked at the door, thoughtfully. In the game guide, he wrote down in detail the techniques to enhance the relationship with Shen Luoxia. It included a hidden plot. If this hidden plot could be triggered, the relationship with Shen Luoxia would be greatly improved. friendliness.
Shen Luoxia had a younger brother in her family who was extremely talented in music and liked to play the flute since she was a child. However, due to a serious illness, her younger brother died early in childhood and died in his teens. This matter has always been Shen Luoxia's. There is a secret hidden in Luoxia that has never been mentioned to anyone since entering the world.
In the game, someone accidentally played a piece of flute in the inn. The sound of the flute touched Shen Luoxia's heart. Shen Luoxia took the initiative to find the player and claimed that listening to the player's flute reminded her of herself. Younger brother, he wanted to recognize this player as his younger brother. The player readily agreed and chose to accept it. His relationship with Shen Luoxia immediately improved and he received a lot of benefits.
It was precisely to trigger this hidden plot that Zhao Zhengcai entrusted Shen Luoxia to buy a flute on his behalf.
Judging from Shen Luoxia's special behavior when she heard the flute, she should have the same background in reality as she does in the game, and she also has a younger brother who likes to play the flute.
Zhao Zheng felt that this was a good breakthrough point. If successful, he might be able to become Shen Luoxia's godbrother by relying on the sound of the flute just like in the game. Becoming Shen Luoxia's godbrother would naturally enable him to learn that Luo Yanbu, the master of Qinggong in the sect, has passed away.
The problem now is that Zhao Zheng does not know how to play the flute. Even if he buys the flute, he will not be able to touch the hidden plot. He can only find time to explore and practice, and strive to become a self-taught player within a few months.
He has to work and practice martial arts every day, and now he has the additional task of teaching himself how to play the flute, making him really busier and busier.
After finishing the meal, Zhao Zheng put away the dishes, washed them cleanly and put them in the cupboard. Then Wang Er ordered him to clean the room, keeping him busy.
As noon approached, more and more guests came and went. Zhao Zheng put aside other work and came to the front hall to entertain the guests.
I saw a figure approaching outside the door. This person strode into the house and glanced around with glaring eyes.
This man is in his thirties, with a strong appearance, wearing a brown suit and a black soft hat on his head. There is a twisted rope hanging on the right side of his waist, and a picture hanging on the left side of his waist. A jade plaque more than ten centimeters long, on which are engraved the four characters "Zhuzhu thief". This outfit is exactly the standard outfit for a police officer.
When the guests in the inn saw the policeman coming, they all paid attention to him. However, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, most of them just glanced at him briefly, then withdrew their gaze, and immersed themselves in eating.
Zhao Zheng was standing at the door. This was the first time he entertained a police officer. He couldn't help but cheer up and greeted him with a smile. As soon as he approached the place a few feet away from the male police officer, he smelled something My butt smells like body odor. It turns out that this catcher has body odor.
"Waiter, ask your shopkeeper to come out and drink with me!" the male detective shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door, without paying any attention to the other people in the store.;
