Chapter 7 Nowhere to talk about idle sorrow(1/2)
The north of the Northern King's Realm.
West of the Dingxi King Realm.
Grassland royal court.
While Liu Ruiying and others were fighting with three straw raincoat guests in Tanting, Jingyao enjoyed a unique leisure.
Although he was wearing the clothes of the grassland people, he did not carry a knife on his body. His scimitar that he kept leaving his body day and night had lost its trace. Even the more than 20 subordinates he brought out from the grassland at that time could never be found again. But he did not feel any regrets or any discomfort. Instead, the scimitar was not in his hand, which made him feel extremely relaxed and comfortable. At this moment, he was sitting in a wine shop that had just entered the territory of the grassland royal court, preparing to eat and drink.
This place is close to the Zhenbei King Realm, and there are many people in the King Realm. Most of them are merchants who come and go, carrying large bags of goods, ranging from iron tools to food and medicinal materials. Jingyao looked at the carts coming and going outside the door and suddenly realized that he was really no different from these merchants. They came to the grassland royal court to do business, so why didn't Jingyao do business in the five king realms? But even if their business cannot be completed, it would be harmless. But once his business fails, it will be a life-threatening death.
In this tavern, the one who supports the guests was not a little brother, but a woman. She always stared at the door with affectionateness. Her pair of water-cut pupils could unambiguously cut off the entire river in the world and flow westward with just one glance. But apart from these eyes, other parts of her body were not beautiful, and they could not even reach the beauty. The women in the world were as playful as sugar-fried chestnuts, either as charming as Li Yun, or as beautiful as Zhao Mingming. Compared with these three people, this woman was really not beautiful.
But it is because of her eyes, to be precise, that the expression in the eyes, that makes the people who come and go stop unconsciously. After entering the store, they have to drink a glass of wine even if they don’t eat. However, the most important part of a person is the mouth. Women with good eyes can not only attract many men, but also make those beautiful women feel ashamed. The people sitting in the store must have come for these eyes. But they dare not look at them, as if they are dirty and obscene eyes, looking at them once more is a blasphemy.
Only Jingyao is not.
He walked with his head down, his hands empty and hungry all over. When he looked up, he saw that the wine trick hanging at the door of the wine shop kept shaking like he was drunk. There was no wind at this moment, so the shaking of the wine trick became extremely strange and abnormal. When people make their final choice, they are often attracted and convinced by some reason. Just like the other guests were her eyes, and Jingyao was shaken by this windless wine trick. But isn’t this wine trick also the eyes of the wine shop? In this way, he is no different from the other people in the store.
Jingyao walked into the store, found a pair of empty seats, and sat down. The table was in a mess, and the diners seemed to have just left, and they had not had time to clean up. Jingyao didn't know what she was thinking, lowering her head and saying nothing. Suddenly he felt that the light had changed a little, and then he found a woman standing beside him, blocking the light shining from the doors and windows. Jingyao knew that this was to support her. Although female friends were rare in the restaurant, it was not without them. There was a saying in the market that any wine shop with female friends was either the shopkeeper's inappropriate one.
Or it was this female friend who was not serious. This statement came from nowhere and why, but it was spread to ten thousand and ten thousand, even in the grassland royal court. But as long as there were female friends’ restaurants, the business would be much better than other families! Over time, this statement became just a statement. Drinkers who drink wine would not be in trouble with women, and shopkeepers would not be in trouble with money. If there weren’t too few women who were willing to be a clerk in the restaurant, I’m afraid that most of the restaurants on the street would become the same as here, with the female friend to support the guests.
Jingyao had already figured out what he wanted to eat. He didn't plan to drink, because after eating, he had to walk a long way to return to Yinghuo tribe. If he drank, his legs would inevitably be weak. It would take two or three times as long to go to the place he could have arrived in one day. Although he didn't have a scimitar in his hand and felt it was extremely relaxed, if he really had no weapons to accompany him for two or three days, he would be a little scared...
"If there are two kilograms of braised beef, it is best to fry it with another plate. In addition, can there be dried beans?"
This was what Jingyao had already thought of in his heart. He would say it as soon as the female friend opened her mouth.
The grassland royal court basically has no dried tofu, and only those larger stores can be made. It requires a lot of soybeans tofu. There is no farmland or farmland on the grassland, and there are no farmers. Therefore, the soybeans can only be sent from the kingdom by merchants, and the price is therefore expensive. As the three masters of Yinghuo tribe, Jingyao can afford dried tofu, but he has never eaten them before he went to Zhenbei King Realm this time.
Being able to eat is two different things. There is no food that Jingyao can't afford in the grassland court, but there are many foods. He has only heard of the names and has never stuttered. Some people may not have the status of him, nor are they full in their purse, but they have eaten much more than him. Eating this thing is like practicing sword and knife, and it depends on fate. If you don't have the opportunity, your sword will not flow smoothly, and your mouth will also be unlucky to eat.
The woman finally spoke.
Jingyao was also ready to say what she had prepared long ago.
"The guest here hasn't left yet..."
The female friend said.
Jingyao was stunned on the spot.
However, he did not expect that the female friend would say something that made him extremely ugly and unable to come to Taiwan as soon as she opened her mouth.
The sentence I had just prepared had already reached my throat, but now I have to swallow it again... Fortunately, one sentence is not a steamed bun, and it will not kill anyone.
"There are still people here?"
Jingyao asked pointing to the table.
There were four or five dishes on the table, and more than a dozen pots of wine. Each dish started from the center, so that a pit was exposed. The rest of the wine pot had been drunk and lay on the table, with a wine pot still falling on the table. But Jingyao soon discovered something unusual, that is, there was only one bowl and chopstick on the table. In other words, these dishes were eaten by one person and the wine was drunk by one person.
"Who is this?... When eating and drinking, you are more beastly than a wolf..."
Jingyao thought to herself.
But this has nothing to do with him. Since there is someone here, just change it.
He nodded at the female friend. Just as he was about to get up, his right wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
"Why are you sitting in my seat?"
One person asked.
Jingyao turned around and found that the other party was a man and was wearing the clothes of a grassland man. For a moment, he thought it was his compatriot, so Jingyao quickly explained to him in grassland language.
"I just went to pee... You know that I always want to pee after drinking too much."
The man shook his head and said, but he used the common term within the five kingdoms.
Jingyao was a little strange. Why didn't this person talk to him in grassland? But then he thought that this place was on the border, and even the grassland people might be merchants who frequently traveled between the grassland royal court and the five kingdoms, so it is not surprising that they could speak fluent words from the five kingdoms.
After hearing this person's words, Jingyao nodded and prepared to leave. The tavern was not big and there was no remaining seat. He did not have the habit of competing with others on the table, so he decided to endure his hunger and walk back to Yinghuomen in one go.
"Are you a prairie?"
The man asked again.
"Aren't you?"
Jingyao turned around in surprise and asked.
"I am not. I am from the Dingxi King's Realm. My name is Chu Kuo, Chu Tian's Chu, open Kuo!"
The man said.
Jingyao's expression changed from surprise to shock.
The man in front of him was extremely born, with a tiger-back and bear-back. With this dress of a grassland man, he was three points more like a grassland man than him. But he kept saying that he was not a grassland man, and even directly claimed his life.
Jingyao didn't know how to answer, but he would never say his name. After all, he was still the three masters of Yinghuo tribe, and there might not be anyone in the restaurant who had seen him, but there should be many people who had heard of his name.
"I'm a prairie."
After thinking for a long time, Jingyao had to say this.
"I'll invite you to drink and ask you something?"
Chu Kuo said.
Jingyao should have refused, but when he saw the dishes and wine pots on the table, he couldn't help but sip. Since he fought with Jin Peng in the mine in Zhenbeiwangyu, he has never eaten a bite. Apart from a rainy day, he lies in a small puddle on the side of the road and drinks water, he doesn't even drink clean water, let alone the wine. If he drinks water from the mud pit on the side of the road when it rains, he will not get sick and have to have a stomachache for a few days. But Jingyao hasn't. His stomach and intestines and body shape are as strong as steel as the scimitar in his hand. In his impression, he is even extremely rare for a headache or a fever.
"All right……"
Jingyao said.
In the end, he succumbed to his most essential needs.
Apart from this tavern, I don’t know how long it will take to go to meet another one. He really needs to eat and drink to get on the road.
When Chu Kuo heard Jingyao agree, he immediately asked the female friend to clean up the table and told her to add another portion of the dishes and wine she had ordered before. After saying that, he threw out a ingot of silver for her.
"The last time I paid, there is still a lot left."
The female friend gently placed the silver ingot on the table and said, then walked towards the back hall to arrange wine and food for Chu Kuo and Jingyao.
"It's really rare to have no money..."
Jingyao said after seeing this scene.
"Can't you see that she's interested in me?"
After Jingyao sat down, Chu Kuo asked with a smile.
"Interesting? What does it mean..."
Jingyao asked.
"The interesting thing is that she likes me!"
Chu Kuo said.
He looked back proudly and glanced at the back hall.
"Oh...that's a good thing!"
Jingyao said.
Being liked by others, especially being liked by women, is of course a good thing. Hearing Chu Kuo say this, a figure flashed in Jingyao's heart. It was the woman who was taken as a hostage and pressed by the three tanting straw raincoat guests. She also liked Jingyao. According to Chu Kuo, this woman was interested in Jingyao. However, Jingyao was unable to redeem her again. The girl in the brothel could redeem herself by spending money. But the three tanting straw raincoat guests wanted Jingyao to bring back the little girl before she could release him. Now the little girl was with Liu Ruiying, Jin Peng, Yue Di and others. There was always Zhao Mingming, a strange beast royal family around her. However, Jingyao even had her own scimitar broken, and the result was obvious.
"It's a good thing...so I've been here for three days!"
Chu Kuo said.
"Why have you been there for so long?"
Jingyao asked.
"Because I'm waiting for her to say she loves me. It's not enough to be interesting, you have to say it clearly!"
Chu Kuo said.
Jingyao was speechless... she even felt that it was a complete mistake to promise him to sit down and eat and drink... Why are there such fools in this world? The female guest in the restaurant is interesting to you because she treats everyone the same. It's just to let you drink more wine and eat more vegetables, so that she can make more money. In contrast, those who go to brothels for fun are much more than Chu Kuo's false waiting.
As soon as Chu Kuo finished speaking, the female friend walked over with a huge tray.
When she got closer, she realized that she did not lift her up at all, but pushed her over in a small car. Chu Kuo ordered too much food, and she was just an ordinary person or a woman, so she could not handle it.
"Where are the bowls and chopsticks and wine glasses?"
Chu Kuo asked.
The female friend glanced at the table and found that she was indeed an omission. She looked at Jingyao and Chu Kuo with apologetic look, and then hurried to the counter to get two bowls and chopsticks and three wine glasses.
"Why is there one more?"
Chu Kuo asked, pointing to the third wine glass.
"Because... I want to have two glasses of wine, can I?"
The female friend asked.
"Yes, of course!"
Chu Kuo said.
The female friend filled the two and herself with a glass of wine, but before she could finish the meal, she had to leave again.
"Brother, now I think you're right..."
Chu Kuo said.
But I felt a little disappointed.
"What did I say?"
Jingyao asked back, a little confused.
To be continued...
