Chapter 77: Shopkeeper, come out
"So tired, I don't want to work at all." The three of them yawned and said in unison, their upper and lower eyelids fighting.
What kind of bad idea did the Branch Master come up with, running here to eat.
They are on their way back to the barbecue shop. After a day of wits and courage, they finally broke into the enemy’s interior, and now they just want to have a big meal and have a beautiful sleep.
The Immortal-Immortal Sect concentrated everyone’s thoughts on the Mountain and River Tripod, and this process would produce great fatigue.
"Fortunately, I let the vengeful spirit string well before coming, so we can open for business directly after going back." Man Gu said somewhat luckily.
Arriving at the door of the barbecue shop, Lu Yang found a familiar person.
"Head Constable Wei? Why are you here? Is something wrong?"
Head Constable Wei knocked on the door of the barbecue shop for a long time, but didn't see it open. He thought there was no one in the shop.
There was indeed no one in the shop, only two vengeful spirits working hard to string, and the two vengeful spirits were scared to death when they heard Head Constable Wei knocking on the door, so they didn't dare to open the door.
Just when Head Constable Wei gave up, Lu Yang came.
Head Constable Wei was overjoyed: "Little Shopkeeper Lu, you are finally back."
Lu Yang nodded and lied: "I saw the weather was good this morning, and the three of us calculated it, thinking it was a good day for an outing, so we went out for a stroll and just came back."
"Then are you still opening for business today?"
Lu Yang thought about it. The Branch Master and the others are coming, a full twenty people, so it should count as opening for business: "Open."
Head Constable Wei said in as gentle a tone as possible: "Little Shopkeeper Lu, look, it’s like this. Your barbecue shop is also a little famous nearby. I’m not bringing a few brothers to eat often."
"I know you just like opening a barbecue shop and don't mean to expand, and you don't like others to promote you."
Lu Yang nodded.
Head Constable Wei said regretfully: "Those brothers of mine have loose mouths. After eating, they went back and praised how delicious you are here. This is not, others heard it and were greedy, saying that they would come here to eat together after the shift today, and the brothers on night shift in the yamen also said to bring some back after eating."
Lu Yang looked at Head Constable Wei’s expression, thinking that it was not just those brothers of yours who said it, you Head Constable Wei also promoted it, right?
"So?"
"There are quite a lot of constables in our Yanjiang Prefecture, almost occupying all the tables. The Chief Constable is also coming. I just want to see if we can book the venue tonight and only entertain us."
Lu Yang suddenly realized, and then showed a difficult expression: "But I have a few friends coming tonight, I’m afraid..."
Head Constable Wei hurriedly said: "It’s okay, it’s okay, it doesn't matter if these few people are missing, everyone can eat together, and it’s lively with many people."
Head Constable Wei patted his chest with his colleagues before coming, saying that he would definitely be able to eat. If he couldn't eat, he would be slapped in the face.
Lu Yang agreed: "That’s fine, let’s prepare, and open for business in half an hour."
Head Constable Wei got an affirmative answer and went back satisfied.
When it was close to the time the Branch Master said, people from all walks of life gathered at the door of the barbecue shop, the Branch Master, eleven deacons, and seven new members.
Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi were also very sensible and held a few jars of wine.
"I’m worried that the wine in this small shop is not strong enough, so I specially brought a few jars of thirty-year spirit wine Daughter Red." Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi said.
This kind of spirit wine is extremely strong, and even Foundation Establishment cannot resolve it.
The other five new members also had the intention of offering wine, but they were all Qi Refining, and couldn't take out good goods.
In order to eat, the Branch Master also changed his mask, changing to a mask that exposed the lower half.
Lu Yang and the other three walked out of the barbecue shop and invited everyone in: "Come in, come in, everything is ready. Originally, it was booked by someone today, but after we talked hard, the person who booked the venue was willing to leave a table for us."
The Branch Master nodded. Originally, he was worried that Lu Yang and the other three were thorns and would not listen to discipline. Now it seems that these three are also quite sensible and know how to book a seat in advance.
"Don't stand there, go in." The Branch Master greeted everyone.
The barbecue shop was empty. The Branch Master sat in the middle table naturally. This table is the largest and the position is the best, which fits his status.
Lu Yang reminded carefully on the side: "Branch Master, this table has been booked."
The Branch Master hadn't said anything yet, Chi Xulong grabbed the lead and said: "Let them go to one side, what kind of thing, dare to grab a seat with us?"
Lu Yang saw that the Branch Master didn't object, so he didn't say anything more.
Everyone sat down, Man Gu took out the menu: "What to eat?"
Shen Jinyi handed the menu to the Branch Master: "Branch Master, please."
The Branch Master waved his hand: "You can order as you like."
"You treat, naturally you order."
"No, you can order as you like."
The people at the table pushed back and forth, and finally returned to Man Gu’s hand. Man Gu curled his lips, feeling that this group of people had too many things, and ordering skewers was grinding and chirping.
Man Gu didn't have the habit of pushing back. After ordering, he took the menu to the backyard and let the two vengeful spirits roast.
Soon Man Gu brought up plates of color, fragrance, and taste of barbecue. Smelling the fragrance, everyone knew the taste wouldn't be bad.
"Come, come, come, the barbecue is up, pour the wine!" The Branch Master laughed, signaling everyone to pour the wine.
Meng Jingzhou laughed: "No need for wine, I’m used to drinking tea, I don't like drinking."
The Branch Master said with a smile: "Little Meng, walking in the rivers and lakes, how can you not drink? There will be many times to drink in the future. Drink three cups to get used to it first."
Meng Jingzhou still refused.
The Branch Master couldn't hold his face, his brows frowned, Chi Xulong took the opportunity to scold: "What’s the matter with you? The Branch Master asked you to drink and you don't drink. Is it not giving the Branch Master face?"
Meng Jingzhou curled his lips: "Just drinking, how did it get involved with face? Then the Branch Master asked me to drink, isn't it not giving me face?"
Chi Xulong just wanted to say what kind of thing you are, what face do you have in front of the Branch Master, but before he could say it, he was stopped by the Branch Master.
The Branch Master knew that Meng Jingzhou had a bright future and was unwilling to have a dispute with him.
The Sect Master’s evaluation of Lu Yang and the other three was only known to the Branch Master, and even Lu Yang and the others didn't know it themselves.
"The welcome meal doesn't have so many rules. I’ll introduce myself first. My surname is Chu. You can call me Branch Master Chu."
After the Branch Master introduced himself, it was the turn of the thin and tall man who had been to the brothel with Qin Yuanhao: "My name is Wang He, and those who know me like to call me Wang Dazuiba."
"Bai Zifang."
"Peng Shuo."
Eleven deacons introduced themselves in turn. It was called an introduction, but it was actually reporting their names. Cultivation, hobbies, and specialties were not mentioned, and no other information was exposed.
There is little trust between the Demonic Sect, and they hide themselves as much as possible.
As if nothing had happened, everyone ate happily.
"This barbecue tastes really good." Chi Xulong ate a few skewers and was surprised. This was the best barbecue he had ever eaten.
He had greed in his heart and asked the Branch Master quietly: "Do you want to force the shopkeeper to hand over the recipe? This kind of barbecue is sold in spirit stones, and there is a market, which can make a lot of money!"
The Branch Master was also moved. Killing and robbing, extortion and blackmail, these things he had done a lot, not bad this time.
Lu Yang asked on the side: "What if the shopkeeper doesn't hand over the recipe?"
Chi Xulong flashed a chill and grinned: "Then see if he wants his life or the recipe!"
He slapped the table, can find things, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, come out! The skewers are all served and you don't show up. Do you understand the rules!"
Immediately after, Head Constable Wei’s voice came from outside: "Haha, shopkeeper, I brought my brothers here."
Groups of constables leaped in, including the Chief Constable of the Core Formation stage, surrounding the Branch Master’s table.
