The heavy rain outside the house continued until midnight before it gradually subsided, and Xue Hua, as he said, did not leave the tavern until the rain stopped completely.
With the beauty by your side, the wine in front of you, and the rain pouring down outside, who likes to be abused would give up the first two and brave the heavy rain to go on an inexplicable date where he doesn't even know who the other party is.
Anyway, Xue Hua is not that crazy.
He waited until the sound of rain outside the tavern completely disappeared, and when the Supervisor King Chong sent him an image of a night sky with a bright moon and few stars, as clear as a freshly cleaned window, he took his two family members with their faces slightly flushed.
The girl walked out of the pub.
The location of this tavern was so remote that Xue Hua and the others sat there for so long without seeing any other drinkers except themselves and the guy who came to deliver the letter.
However, the owner of the tavern didn't seem to care much about this. He just went about his day's work step by step, wiping all the tables in the tavern and the bar glasses and other utensils clean.
When Xue Hua walked out of the tavern with the two girls, the owner of the tavern also walked out with them.
He held a lighted torch in his hand and relit an extinguished lamp in the alley next to the tavern.
This seems to be the only effort this tavern has made to attract customers. This huge firelight is swaying in the deep alley. Looking from the entrance of the alley, if you don't pay careful attention, you can't see clearly the tavern illuminated by dim lights.
door.
"Your business is really interesting. With such good wine, why don't you choose a better store?"
Xue Hua asked curiously.
"Good wine is rare and needs to be cherished. If more people try it, it will no longer be surprising. It will also ruin the business of other pubs."
The tall and thin middle-aged boss turned around and smiled at Xue Hua, and said calmly.
"This is not the way to do business."
"I know, but this is the way of a gentleman." The tavern owner suddenly gave Xue Hua a textbook Westermann aristocratic salute, which is a very ancient and solemn aristocratic gentleman's etiquette.
Nowadays, few people have even heard of this kind of etiquette. Xue Hua only learned about this kind of etiquette when he was chatting with Mr. Kane.
It is said that when Westmarch was a little-known small kingdom in the western border, it was often bullied by neighboring countries. In order to strive for success, the nobles in the country at that time required themselves to have such a strict etiquette spirit that was almost mechanical.
Later, because of this meticulous and serious spirit and the extremely united and hard-working will, the entire Kingdom of Westmarch gradually rose to prominence, and eventually became the most powerful human kingdom in the entire Western Realm...or in other words, the entire Sanctuary World.
However, it is a natural law for a kingdom to prosper and decline, and the powerful Kingdom of Westermer has not escaped this law.
Under the dazzling glory of the world's number one country, the citizens of Westermar have gradually forgotten the spirit and will that allowed them to reach this point.
This ancient set of noble and gentlemanly etiquette was the first to be abandoned and forgotten.
Xue Hua really didn't expect that after so many years, he could still see the ancient Westmar noble gentleman's ceremony in a place like King's Harbor.
It can be seen that the identity of the tavern owner in front of him is definitely not as simple as it seems.
However, these were all private matters. Xue Hua, who had just met for the first time, really couldn't ask more questions, so he could only hurriedly return a noble gift and watched the boss go back to the tavern.
"In the streets and alleys, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers; between the marketplaces, there are lurking leopards with hidden scales... The ancients would never deceive me."
He sighed in a low voice.
"That tavern owner... seems to be a nice guy..."
"Yes, yes, Funya feels the same way..."
The two girls couldn't quite understand Xue Hua's words, but their intuition told them that the tavern owner hidden in the alleys of the city should be carrying some heavy secrets...
"Okay, let's change the topic. Should we go back and continue tasting cheese and wine, or should we go to the commercial street and continue to visit the night market?"
"Let's go to the night market! Let's buy some delicious food and take it back for dinner!"
A certain greedy little cook immediately raised her hands to express her gratitude~
"You girl, you just know how to eat!" Annie knocked her sister on the head and then turned to look at Xue Hua: "That letter just now... is it really okay to ignore it completely?
Maybe there really is some important information... Let’s go take a look?”
"Um...I would have forgotten it if you didn't remind me, but it's so late, so the grocery store must have been closed long ago, right?"
When Xue Hua was reminded by Annie, he suddenly remembered that he had indeed received such a letter with no beginning or end in the tavern just now, but it had been too long and the letter was really weird, so he didn't
Why did I care so much that I forgot about it in the end...
"Let's go and have a look. I seem to have some impression of the name of that grocery store. It seems to be on the commercial street. Since I'm going to visit the night market, I'm on my way anyway. If it's closed, just ignore it."
Anne said this.
After hearing what she said, Xue Hua thought about it and thought it made sense. If there was really something important to discuss, the door would be left open until early in the morning.
But if they just wanted to play a trick on him... no matter what their real purpose was, he would take down the sign of the grocery store!
Having made up their mind, the three of them quickly walked out of the alley, turned into the commercial avenue several times, and started looking for the "Beard's Grocery Store" while wandering around.
However, even after they visited the entire commercial avenue, they still could not find this grocery store...
"What's going on? I remember seeing such a grocery store when I was shopping in the morning?"
Anne frowned and looked around strangely, but in front of them was an area of aristocratic residences, where shops were not allowed to exist at all.
"Did I remember it wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go back and look around again. If we still can't find it, forget it. I'm not interested in going to the port area to look for something that seems to be nothing..."
Xue Hua shook his head and turned around with the two girls ready to walk around the commercial avenue again.
However, at this moment, Funia suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, and then pulled Xue Hua's sleeve fiercely.
"What's wrong?"
"That, that, isn't it? Beard's Grocery?"
"Hmm?"
There are only a bunch of meaningless miscellaneous patterns on the signboard, and there is no name of the store at all, but the dirty curtain has the words "Beard's General Store" printed crookedly on it.
The word "goods" in the middle was completely covered by dirty stains.
"Really...you actually used such a piece of rag as a sign? Are you afraid that I will smash it?"
Xue Hua walked to the door of the grocery store and took a look. The windows of the store were dark, so it must have been closed.
But this signboard doesn't seem to be worth destroying at all... It seems a bit too much to destroy the store...
