With a turn, Ling Dong led Gao Yuan down South Street and entered an alley that only allowed three people to walk side by side.
Seeing that his young master had taken a wrong turn, Gao Yuan hurriedly reminded him in a low voice, "Young Master, how can there be a restaurant in such a small alley? There are many on South Street! "
Ling Dong smiled and pointed forward. "How do you know that there aren't any wine shops in the depths of the alley?" As he spoke, he walked forward according to the vague memory in his mind. Ling Dong's purpose for this trip was to find a wine shop in his memory. Secondly, he wanted to fish and do something. Ling Dong didn't want too many people to know, so he had to find a remote area!
Seeing that his young master was so insistent, Gao Yuan could only follow.
After walking for about 200 meters, they reached the end of the small alley. A wine flag that was raised high on a bamboo pole was hanging there weakly with the words "Ancient Wine" written on it.
On both sides of the low lintel was a pair of faintly discernible couplets that had mostly peeled off: Open a jar of wine, serve thyme on the table!
Seeing the two words "Ancient Wine" and the couplet, Ling Dong's mouth twitched slightly. It seemed that he didn't remember the wrong route. The famous wine shop in his memory was still an isolated shop that no one cared about.
Although it was late autumn and the best time to brew wine, this ancient wine shop couldn't even be considered deserted. The moment Ling Dong stepped into the tavern, an overbearing scolding could be heard coming from the tavern!
"Bai Jiu 'er, are you going to pay the rent or not? Even your father owes me money for six months. Although your father has passed away, based on our many years of friendship, I shouldn't force you like this. However, I still have to make a living! My entire family depends on these few tenants to support us! " The middle-aged man became angrier as he spoke. When Ling Dong saw him, he was already pointing at a young man wearing a gray shirt that had been washed until it was white and cursing!
"Uncle, please make an exception. Give us two more months. It's autumn now, and the number of customers will slowly increase!" The young man in gray called Bai Jiu 'er replied with a sad face.
"Make an exception? I've already made an exception for six months. If I make another exception, my entire family will have nothing to eat! " When the middle-aged man heard this, he was enraged. He pointed at the nose of the grey-robed young man and scolded, "It's still your old man. He's from a poor family. If he passed away, he could just roll up a straw mat and bury him. Why did he have to buy a coffin? Even the cheapest thin leather coffin costs 10 taels of silver. Can you afford it? "
Bai Jiu 'er just listened silently and didn't reply, but her expression was extremely stubborn!
"Let me tell you, Bai Jiu 'er. If you don't pay the rent, I'll snatch the thin coffin and sell it even if you pooled the money to buy it!" The middle-aged man who urged the rent was clearly furious!
Bai Jiu 'er became anxious when she heard this. "Uncle, don't worry. As long as we gather the money to bury Father, I will definitely pay back your rent even if I have to work like an ox or horse!" At this time, Bai Jiu 'er saw Ling Dong entering the door. Her eyes were filled with joy as she hurriedly shouted, "Lan Cao, there's a guest!"
While speaking, Bai Jiu 'er changed into a pleading tone, "Uncle, please do me a favor. It's not easy for a guest to come today …"
The middle-aged man looked at Ling Dong's clothes and the way he acted like a young master of an aristocratic family. He thought that it was good to let him earn some business and pay back some money. Therefore, he didn't make things difficult for him anymore. However, he left a harsh sentence!
"For the sake of the guest, I'll spare you for another day. Come again tomorrow! If you still can't pay the rent by tomorrow, don't blame me for finding someone to sell your furniture! " After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left. Before he left, he added in a low voice, "And your damn old man, quickly roll up a mat and bury him. If he stinks, don't blame me for chasing you out!"
Bai Jiu 'er smiled again and again. "No, uncle, don't worry. It definitely won't happen!"
At this time, Ling Dong was already sitting at the wine table. He raised his eyes and looked at everything with some disappointment. Everything had changed!
The wine shop was still the wine shop in Ling Dong's memory, but the unique smell of wine was gone. It seemed that the current owners were not the famous ones in Ling Dong's memory, the ones that all the cultivators would flock to!
This wine shop became famous a hundred years later. When Ling Dong's cultivation encountered a bottleneck at the fourth level of the Earth Realm in his previous life, he came here once and drank a few bowls of Skyheart wine that cost tens of thousands of gold taels per bowl.
After drinking the priceless Skyheart wine, Ling Dong unexpectedly broke through the bottleneck while cultivating with the help of the wine!
Although the Skyheart wine cost tens of thousands of gold taels per bowl and was limited to three bowls per person per month, every time he encountered a bottleneck, Ling Dong would specially come to South Mountain Commandery to drink three bowls of Skyheart wine. The effect of the Skyheart wine to help cultivators break through bottlenecks was sometimes effective, but most of the time, it was still effective!
But to cultivators, especially experts, this was a good thing for breaking through bottlenecks. Even if it was just a little bit, it was worth it.
"Sir, what would you like to drink? The gentle Green Bamboo Leaf, the lingering Fragrance of the First Fragrance, or the strong Three Bowls Down!" When a loud voice sounded in Ling Dong's ears, a young woman with a strong physique wiped the wooden table very quickly.
"Three Bowls Down!" Ling Dong woke up from his memories and glanced at the young woman with red and swollen eyes.
"Do you want some dishes to go with the wine?" The young woman asked with some surprise. This kind of young master rarely drank strong wine!
"My specialty is …" Ling Dong, who was about to casually order a few stir-fried dishes, was suddenly tongue-tied. His gaze was fixed on the corner of the mouth of the young woman who came out to greet them — the two protruding buck teeth!
"The stir-fry you're good at? How many bowls do you want? " At first, the buck-toothed young woman didn't notice the abnormality in Ling Dong's gaze and asked casually. Ling Dong didn't answer. Only then did she notice that Ling Dong was staring at her!
The buck-toothed young woman thought that Ling Dong was laughing at her two buck teeth. She had seen this kind of thing many times, so she didn't care. She just repeated her question, "How many bowls of your specialty do you want?"
However, Ling Dong still didn't make any movements. He just stared at the buck-toothed young woman's face in a daze. He didn't say a word and looked extremely infatuated!
This situation immediately made the buck-toothed young woman's face turn red. She secretly scolded, "Shameless! This young master of an aristocratic family is really weird. I'm so beautiful, but he can still stare at me for half a day! "
"Madam, you come and greet them!" The buck-toothed young woman threw away the rag in her hand and quickly walked to the inner room. Gao Yuan, who was watching from the side, blushed!
"My young master's taste … to be able to see such a 'bucktoothed beauty' and be so infatuated … It's getting weirder and weirder! Fortunately, there's no one around! "Gao Yuan secretly sighed.
If Ling Dong could hear the thoughts of the buck-toothed young woman and Gao Yuan, he would probably have the heart to die! With hundreds of years of experience in his previous life, he became a Heavenly Dipper Realm expert. What kind of beauty hadn't he seen before? How could he be infatuated with beauty?
However, Gao Yuan didn't wrongly accuse Ling Dong. Ling Dong was indeed attracted by the buck-toothed young woman. However, what attracted Ling Dong was the eye-catching buck teeth of the young woman!
It wasn't that Ling Dong had any special interest in buck teeth. It was that pair of buck teeth, coupled with this husband and wife restaurant, that made Ling Dong match the characters!
In his previous life, the husband and wife restaurant owner was famous because of 'a bowl of Skyheart wine for ten thousand taels of gold'.
The Skyheart wine was a treasure that could help cultivators break through bottlenecks. Everyone liked it, especially experts!
Many experts or forces had always wanted to control a treasure like the Skyheart wine in their own hands, but they had never succeeded. It was because of this couple who brewed and sold the Skyheart wine. The woman was a Heavenly Dipper Realm expert with extraordinary cultivation.
The Heavenly Dipper Realm expert didn't have a name, but she had a famous nickname — Buck-toothed Mad Saber!
That woman's biggest characteristic was her pair of big buck teeth. She was good at using a pair of dual saber weapons. Every time she faced an enemy, she would first drink three bowls of wine, and then she would be like a mad tiger. When she fought, it was a method of exchanging a life for a life! Many Heavenly Dipper Realm experts with higher cultivation than the Buck-toothed Mad Saber didn't dare to fight her!
Just now, Ling Dong saw this pair of buck teeth and connected the dots. This wine shop's name was still Ancient Wine Shop a hundred years later, so it should be passed down from their ancestors. He also vaguely remembered that the husband's family seemed to be surnamed Bai, and that buck-toothed young woman seemed to have practiced martial arts!
Connecting these points, Ling Dong could almost conclude that even if the couple who brewed and sold the Skyheart wine weren't this couple, they must be related to these two people.
Thinking of this, Ling Dong's heart suddenly jumped. If he could get the formula of the Skyheart wine that could help him break through the bottleneck, then wouldn't he …
"Young Master? Wake up, Young Master? "While he was thinking, Gao Yuan suddenly shook Ling Dong's arm and woke Ling Dong up.
"Young Master, this shop owner is asking you?" The explanation made Gao Yuan look embarrassed, and his eyes were extremely strange. What's wrong with my young master today? Why is he staring at a man for so long?
"Uh … Just serve whatever you're good at!" Ling Dong smiled embarrassedly at Bai Jiu 'er, who also had a strange and nervous expression on her face. He finally realized what Gao Yuan and Bai Jiu' er were nervous about — Among the young masters of the aristocratic families, there were some who were homosexual!
"Okay! Just serve whatever you're good at! " Hearing Ling Dong's voice, Bai Jiu 'er was relieved. She hurriedly shouted at the back hall and hurriedly walked to the counter!
It was also at this moment that five burly men with gloomy expressions rushed into this wine shop that rarely had any customers. "Waiter, serve the wine!" As they spoke, the five burly men's gazes were fixed on Ling Dong!
"Five guests, please take a seat!" Bai Jiu 'er, who hurriedly went forward to greet them, muttered. It was a good thing to have customers, but why did she feel that something was wrong?
