"Excuse me, sir, will Guizhai accept guests tonight?"

"If you don't answer, it's too crowded, so get out."

"……Your Mightiness……"

"Your mother, get out!"

"..."

This is the third wave of guests leaving Xia Chongzhai.

Without even entering the door, he left with a regretful expression.

But before they were impatiently driven away by the sinister shopkeeper named Zhao, they couldn't help but look back at the table of customers in the empty corner of the old restaurant.

Left angrily.

In the hall, Fan Yushu looked out at the group of people who had just left outside the door.

Including their group, within half a stick of incense, three groups of people have come to inquire. This dilapidated and remote restaurant is attracting waves of strange customers like a naked beauty waiting for customers at the door.

Find this alley no one cares about.

The first group of guests who came to interrupt the conversation between shopkeeper Zhao and Zhao Rong were a green-faced young man with an average appearance, followed by a white-haired old servant.

However, shopkeeper Zhao impatiently waved his hand and closed the door to thank the guests.

The second wave of visitors was a young girl with some white scales on her face, followed by a dark man two feet tall.

Shopkeeper Zhao was also abducted and refused with a toothpick.

The group leaving now is a group of men dressed in strange clothes.

The leading man is dressed as a young man and is handsome with a folding fan in his hand. The group of male servants behind him are even more feminine and handsome than this young man.

Fan Yushu's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly clicked his tongue in his heart.

If he guessed correctly, this handsome young man in the lead was a direct descendant of a very high-ranking family in Dongcheng. Well, looking at his sexual orientation, he probably matched up with a name that was somewhat familiar to him...

As for the girl with white scales on her face and a cautious face from the previous wave, although Fan Yushu didn't know him, he had some knowledge. He guessed that it might be related to the water-born monster clan in Wangquezhou, who was picked by the monster clan mansion.

One of the several major demon clan forces in the Star Tower, originating from the straight road that runs through the north and south...

As for the first wave of people... Fan Yushu didn't know them either, but most of them were from extraordinary origins.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the inn he was in and the black-hearted shopkeeper behind the counter not far away who was mumbling and sticking his buttocks out to get a drink.

Fan Yushu looked at the empty hall. This damn place is full of people. Could it be that they are all invisible? Good guy, the small restaurant has been set up in such a hellish location, and this weird shopkeeper is so arrogant and arrogant about thanking customers and driving people away.

, and the meal that Fairy Zhao invited today?

However, when he thought of a special place that was hard to find that he had heard about before, he became a little silent...

At this time, the atmosphere at the table was no longer as awkward and tense as before, and had relaxed.

After the food was put on the table, Zhao Lingfei said that there was only one bowl of soup left, and all the dishes for tonight were served.

So everyone sat down one after another.

The three waves of customers who had just arrived outside the door in a short period of time surprised Zhao Rong and his party. Shopkeeper Zhao's rejection of the guests made people a little curious, but they didn't pay much attention to it. After all, shopkeeper Zhao looked a bit weird and talked a lot.

The swear words and out-of-the-box behavior make people a little hard to figure out.

Zhao Lingfei did not take off the scarf around her waist. She sat next to Zhao Rong and asked him in a low voice: "Brother Rong'er, are you today..."

She paused and stared at the side of his face, not saying all those words.

Zhao Rong looked up at her, shook his head, and patted her folded hands on his knees, "It's okay. I just thought of something, and I got a little... emotional."

He paused slightly and smiled to himself, "Well, I guess I made Mr. Zhu and the others laugh."

Zhao Lingfei pursed her red lips, turned her head and looked at Zhao Qian'er.

Then, she stood up and said seriously to the fox-eyed girl:

"What Ms. Su just said was too polite. It's not as exaggerated as what you said. My husband and I are not great at all... It's just those boring people who like to gossip and spread rumors. Please don't take it seriously."

After finishing her words, Zhao Lingfei smiled at Su Xiaoxiao, turned to everyone and said, "The soup should be ready soon. I'll go to the kitchen to help Aunt Bing." Then she turned and left.

Zhao Qian'er did not follow, but looked around at the people in the banquet with sharp eyes. Her eyes stayed on Su Xiaoxiao and Zhu Yourong for a little longer than others. Her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly. The next second, she moved closer to Zhao Rong'er.

Next, exhale affectionately:

"Brother Rong'er, I'll go get you a drink~"

After saying that, the little girl tilted her head and smiled at the people who were looking at her, then turned around and went to a certain shady shopkeeper at the counter.

Zhao Rong watched Xiao Qian'er's back.

"Ziyu, there's something wrong with the place that my siblings chose..." Fan Yushu saw the two girls leaving, so he came over and whispered.

Elsewhere at the table, Zhu Yourong was chatting with the emotionally unstable Su Xiaoxiao. Yu Huaijin and Li Xueyou also joined in. In addition, the honest man Jia Tengying got the courage from nowhere and came over. Meng Hulu actually said

Talked a lot.

At this moment, the dull "ding-dang" sound of the copper bell sounded in Xia Chongzhai.

Zhao Rong and Fan Yushu turned around and saw that the old man in green robe appeared at the door again. Just like when Zhao Rong and others came just now, he was once again using the wooden stick to ring the old copper bell on the inside of the door.

The sound of the bell comes from here, resounding melodiously in the hall.

"Xu Shi two quarters." Zhao Rong murmured softly.

"Ah, what?" Fan Yushu, who was interrupted by the monotonous sound of the bell, was slightly stunned and turned to ask.

"I said..." Zhao Rong turned his eyes and looked outside the open door of Xia Chongzhai. There was no light on outside, only the back of the old man in green robe, and the night was hazy. "Yes, I can hear it."

Fan Yushu glanced at Zhao Rong's smiling face and listened carefully to the bell, which seemed to be nothing strange.

He shook his head: "Tzuyu, listen to me, you are not locals, you may not know, this seems to be...Xia Chongzhai!"

Zhao Rong thought for a while and said seriously: "What does it mean to be like, isn't this what it is? It's written on the plaque outside the door."

"…………"

Fan Yushu felt that his friend looked at him like he was looking at a fool. He coughed quickly and said, "I know, it's just that I thought it was just the same name before, or even just the shop owner enjoying his fame, but now it seems..."

"Now it seems true?" Zhao Rong smiled and answered.

Fan Yushu glanced at the alley outside the door where three groups of people had just been welcomed in a short period of time, then glanced at the man behind the counter and nodded quietly.

Zhao Rong followed his gaze, his smile gradually faded, and he said calmly: "Xia Chongzhai is very famous in Duyou City?"

Fan Yushu nodded and shook his head:

"Locals and people who have stayed in Duyou for a long time should know that there are seven time-honored brands in Duyou City, which are the best ones left over from the competition among all walks of life in the city for thousands of years. Among them, the youngest ones have eighteen hundred qualifications.

With a history of more than 100 years, you should all know some of them. Nowadays, most of them are well-known large business houses on Wangquezhou Mountain.

"Well, my thatched cottage shop is also one of them, but hey, with a history of 1,800 years, it is the least qualified among the seven time-honored shops. It has become the starting point of every mockery and innuendo by the other shops.

, my old man smiled and nodded on the surface, but actually I don’t know if he was angry or not..."

He paused and said, "Come back, Ziyu, do you know how many years the second oldest of these seven time-honored brands has been in business?"

Zhao Rong shook his head, "How much?"

"Five thousand seven hundred and ninety-two years."

Fan Yushu reported a number skillfully, as if he was very familiar with the matter. Zhao Rong couldn't help but look at him and nodded slightly. It seems that Zhao Rong was also familiar with this number.

A few days ago, I was shopping with Qingjun and Qian'er in Duyoudongcheng. In the middle of a busy street very close to Youshan, I saw the plaque of a large business gang that seemed to have business all over the country.

A meter away can blind a young Confucian scholar...

Fan Yushu glanced at Zhao Rong, who seemed to have finished digesting.

At this moment, he looked at the old decorations in the halls on the left and right, raised his hand and pointed his index finger down at the ground, his face expressionless.

"This place was opened earlier than it. In a sense... it is the first time-honored restaurant in Duyou City."

Hearing this, Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows and looked at the black-hearted shopkeeper who was bargaining with Xiao Qian'er behind the counter not far away. Seeing that his bearded face was full of anger, the young Confucian scholar couldn't help but feel that it was no wonder he could be so rude and disrespectful.

He thought for a moment and pointed to the table, "Are you saying that this small restaurant has been open for more than 5,800 years?"

Fan Yushu nodded.

"This is called this place. It is located in Dongcheng, which has a lot of gold and land. Some strange people came just now... It must be it, the number one time-honored brand in Duyou, Xia Chongzhai. I also heard my old man talk about it. Here are the details

The old man doesn't know how many years it has been open, but it must be much older than we thought..."

"But it is different from the other six time-honored brands. The other six, like most famous brands in the world, have been carefully managed by the Daxian family for thousands of years, or have been jointly divided and controlled by several major forces, or have been

The surnames of the families at the helm have changed one after another, all trying to develop and gradually grow...

"As for Xia Chong Zhai, it has always been a solitary small restaurant. It operates silently, opens on time, and closes on time. It has unique rules and is located in a corner. Well, maybe it was originally located in a busy street in a prime location, but on the

After thousands of years of vicissitudes, even the East City has been renovated no less than three times...

"Nowadays, things have changed, and it is too low-key, has weird rules, and is picky about its customers... Most people in Duyou City have forgotten that there is this so-called oldest time-honored restaurant in Dongcheng.

, at most I have heard of this name from old stories about Duyou told by old people."

"Haha, I guess Shopkeeper Zhao can't even read these old almanacs. It is said that he inherited this Xia Chong Zhai midway, or it was passed down from his family's ancestors. Hey, how many generations will this be passed down..."
