Volume 1: Storm in the Western Region Chapter 112: Two Heroes Enter
Zhao Rang's words make sense at first glance. The boundaries between friends and guests are inherently unclear and can be interchanged. Unfortunately, it's not that Aziz and Haidiya don't understand this truth. The reason why they specifically avoid it is,
The reason why we don't talk clearly is to leave the last bit of dignity to each other.
Regardless of the negotiation status, Haidiya runs "Qingshan Ke" to make friends. Aziz hopes that there will be an endless stream of customers in Chunhua Building.
Just like the water in a well does not interfere with the water in the river, although they are all water, they each have their own methods and names, and they must not be confused together.
When Zhao Rang said it clearly, Aziz and Haidiya looked at each other, but when they saw that there was only calmness and indifference in each other's eyes, they looked away.
Haidiya said to Zhao Rang and others:
"No matter what, you became my friends first, and then my guests here."
Then he turned to Aziz and said:
"Now I want to entertain my friends at your Chunhua Building, so I am also your guest. Shopkeeper Aziz will definitely not refuse the guest's request, right?"
If Zhao Rang was asked to rank these two people, he would probably still think that Heidiye is superior. It is not because he owns the Sunset Racecourse and Zhao Rang has a good impression of him, but because he knows what it means.
Noisy and messy.
Obviously what Zhao Rang said just now is that there is really no difference between guests and friends. Haidiya's last words sounded high-sounding, but in fact he changed the concept and returned the issue to the order of precedence.
He and Aziz originally came up one after another.
After Zhao Rang and others arrived at Shanye King's City, Qingshanke and Chunhua Tower also went there.
No one can deny this, and everyone has to.
People can do many things at the same time, but they can only be in one place at the same time!
So far, Zhao Rang has never seen a person who can drink in a wine shop and tease girls in a brothel three streets away.
So what Haidiya said is actually useless nonsense.
But it was this sentence that left Aqizi helpless the most.
As a shopkeeper, anyone who comes is a guest, and there is no reason to refuse guests. No matter who the guest is, or how much he or she hates him, as long as he comes, he is a compliment, and as long as he spends money, he is the master! You must serve him carefully!
The two hadn't seen each other for twenty years. When they first met, they were still on their own territory, but they showed off. Aziz was very angry, but he had to hold back his temper, pretend to be patient, and shouted
Come on, man, let him clear out the top box as quickly as possible.
This private room is rarely used by outsiders. Basically, Aziz only sits in it when entertaining his friends. And the friend must be qualified. Not just any cat or dog can be counted as a friend.
There are roughly three types of people in Chunhua Tower.
The first type were those who stood up and saluted when Aziz first came up. The second type were those who came up later to chat. The third type were those who could be invited to the box.
Now Zhao allows them to go to the box, but they are not the third kind of people.
Aziz's instructions to the waiter were in the Western Region dialect, specifically for the people on the second floor to hear. He hoped that after hearing it through their ears, it would be spread throughout the entire royal city through their mouths.
When a pair of enemies who had not seen each other for twenty years met for the first time, there were no swords and swords, no bloodshed, only peaceful smiles and the highest-level arrangements.
Once such a thing spreads, it will undoubtedly bring Aziz's reputation to a higher level. Although he is no longer needed as the lord of the underworld, he feels very proud that he can use this to overpower Haidiya.
value.
The waiter cleaned up quickly and came down from upstairs to return to work in less than a cup of tea.
Aziz made a "please" gesture generously, and Haidiya nodded slightly as a return gift, and then walked upstairs under the leadership of the waiter.
The third floor was very empty, with no people and no lights, and only one room.
The room is not big and can only accommodate ten people if they are crowded together.
This shows that in the eyes of Aziz, "friends" are not many, but fine. Excluding himself, it is already very good to have nine. If one more person comes in, one of them must leave. This is his rule.
.
Today is an exception.
Among the seven people who came in, Haidiya was the one who "went out" from this house before, and the rest were all guests who had just arrived. Judging from what Zhao Rang said before, these guests are still far from friends.
.
Haidiya was the host, and everyone was divided into guests and hosts. Zhao Rang sat on the upper seat on his right hand.
He didn't order because he knew Aziz would definitely arrange everything.
But he brought wine because he knew that the wine in Chunhua Tower was definitely not as good as what he brought.
The four girls holding wine bottles also came to the box and stood in a row against the wall, waiting to satisfy the owner's needs.
"Dear friend, I was interrupted by shopkeeper Aziz just now, so I will continue to drink fine wine now!"
After saying this, without waiting for Zhao Rang and others to respond, three girls were already lining up, holding wine bottles, and walked up to him.
Zhao Rang visually inspected the wine jug and found that it could probably hold about three kilograms. Three wine jugs equaled nine kilograms of wine. Even if the wine was not as strong as the Spring of the Western Regions, it would still be necessary for a person to drink nine kilograms of water in a short period of time.
It’s very difficult, not to mention that it’s nine pounds of wine.
It seems that the "hao" in Haidiya's "swordsman" refers not only to his superior swordsmanship, but also to his bold personality.
"Gulu gulu" barely left any room for breathing. Three pots and nine kilograms were poured into Haidiye's stomach in a blink of an eye, and then he sat down like a normal person without even burping.
Ximen Dazhuang's eyes widened. Even if he wanted to drink nine kilograms of wine in a short period of time, regardless of whether he would die of drunkenness on the spot, he would never be so relaxed. He couldn't help but secretly said "Monster" in his heart.
…
After drinking the fine wine, Haidiya was in a good mood. People who are already bold and bold will only become more heroic after drinking.
He waved his hand to indicate that everyone present should be filled with wine, then he glanced at everyone present and said:
"You are all friends of my Haidiye. Although you are from Dawei and I am from the Western Regions. But you see, my Dawei words are not bad. Being able to communicate is the most basic thing between friends. You said
Right, Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Rang's heart skipped a beat.
It seems that Haidiya has done enough homework before coming.
Not only himself, but everyone else's names and identities must have been known to Haidiya.
Considering his ability, it is not difficult to do this.
Apart from businessmen who only want to make money, they are the only people who have recently entered the Western Region. But they started from the Lanmo Kingdom and disrupted the two places in succession. As long as Haidiya is interested in asking,
You must know their previous "deeds".
After everyone toasted together, the dishes arrived belatedly.
The first dish was a cold dish, which Zhao Rang had never seen before.
It looked like walnut kernels, but he had never seen walnuts as white as suet.
Haidiya picked up a piece, put it into Zhao Rang's plate, and explained:
"These are fresh walnuts."
Zhao Rang said doubtfully:
"Fresh walnuts?"
In his impression, walnuts are a kind of dried fruit, regardless of whether they are fresh or not.
"Are the walnuts my friend saw in Dawei covered with a shriveled hard shell? When eating, you have to peel it open!"
Zhao Rang nodded.
The walnuts in Dawei are all like this.
Some shells are so thin that they can be broken by just pinching two walnuts in the palm of your hand. But some have to be smashed hard with a hammer!
"Fresh walnuts have a layer of green clothing on the outside. This layer of clothing can keep the humidity of the walnut kernels, making the shell inside very soft, and also makes it easier to peel off the outer skin of the walnut kernels."
"Try it, freshly peeled walnuts don't have any sour taste."
Zhao Rang carefully picked up the white walnut kernels on the plate and chewed them in his mouth. The smooth and sweet taste instantly filled his entire mouth.
"It's delicious! Try it too!"
He hurriedly gave Yuan Ming an empty piece.
Seeing that Zhao Rang rated it so highly, everyone else started eating with their chopsticks.
Only when it was turned to Ye Sanniang, she didn't eat.
Zhao Rang cast a confused look, and Ye Sanniang explained that it was because she didn't like eating walnuts. No matter whether they were fresh or not, she didn't like eating them because the walnut kernels looked too much like human brains. Therefore, many people
It is said that eating walnuts can nourish the brain, but Ye Sanniang doesn't want to become smart.
If you are too smart and complain too much, you will become unhappy.
After hearing Ye Sanniang's reason, Zhao Rang changed his chopsticks into a spoon without saying a word, scooped out a full spoonful of walnut kernels, put it on Ximen Dazhuang's plate, and said:
"From today on, you must eat at least six walnuts every day!"
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
During this period, Haidiya did not mention at all why he came to invite Zhao Rang and others to dinner. He was just a friend and called him cordially.
Since the other party didn't mention it, Zhao Rang didn't mention it either.
In this kind of drinking game, the competition is all about patience, just like chasing a girl, it is a grinding effort, you have to go around in circles, keep drawing circles, and lean towards the middle seemingly.
The people at the table went from the Hehe delicacies of Dawei Taishang River to the customs and customs of Danye Country, to the Sunset Race Course of Haidiya, and finally settled on wine.
This last topic interested Heidi the most and he talked about it endlessly.
Suddenly he slapped his forehead:
"I just said that the wine tasted a little strange today. It turned out that I forgot to chill it!"
Then he complained in frustration:
"Aqizi is such a bastard... But every time I meet him, I become an unlucky guy! I haven't seen him for twenty years. I thought that even if this kind of thing were to happen, it wouldn't happen so soon. Who would have thought that this would happen?"
When we meet, it’s me again who’s unlucky!”
After saying that, he asked the girl standing beside him with a serious face to quickly go back to the "Green Shirt Guest" to get the ice mirror.
There was no coolness or coldness to neutralize the heat generated during the wine-making process. At this moment, Haidiya already felt a slight fever in his throat, which gradually spread downwards and soon reached his stomach.
