I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Chapter 122 Half Cup



Chapter 122 Half Cup

Xingfu Restaurant is built by the water. It is an exquisite three-story building with red lanterns hanging on each corner outside the building.

The lanterns swayed in the wind and the shadow of the building swayed underfoot.

Xingfu Restaurant was very busy today, and the waiter didn't have the opportunity to go with everyone to the mountain gate to greet the guests. So he was anxiously serving the guests, while taking the time to look towards the town entrance from time to time.

When Master Ji came here, he was unable to go to greet him. He truly missed out on a hundred million.

The waiter was crying in his heart.

The proprietress didn't care about all this. She swayed her waist between the diners and sweat oozed from her forehead. She waved a fan and gently wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief.

When he turned around, he saw the wine jug in the waiter's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

The wine spilled all over the floor, and pieces of porcelain fell at the diners' feet.

The waiter hurriedly leaned over to pick it up.

The landlady cried out, "Oh my, hurry up and ask Xiao He to come and clean up. Why hasn't that girl come out yet? She's always been so lazy these past two days. Go, hurry up."

The waiter retracted his outstretched hand.

"She's been complaining of headaches lately. Maybe she caught a cold." The two had a good relationship, so the waiter explained a few things.

The proprietress waved the fan in her hand impatiently, not caring whether Xiaohe had caught a cold or not. "It's so hot, how can you catch a cold? Nonsense. Go quickly."

The waiter scratched his head, he really felt that Xiaohe seemed to have caught a cold. Helplessly, the proprietress urged him to come back, he sighed and threw away the towel, went downstairs, and went to the backyard to call Xiaohe.

"Ouch, please don't prick your foot." The proprietress hurried forward and stopped Keren's foot in time. She twisted her waist and kicked the broken porcelain pieces and the wine aside, squeezed in and sat at the table to drink with the guests.

The waiter trotted all the way to the backyard to look for the river.

Seeing that Xiaohe's room door was open, he hurried outside. In his haste, he didn't look closely and knocked on the door, shouting to Xiaohe to go to the front yard and clean up the restaurant. After that, he left without waiting for anyone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw a white thing flashing past his eyes. The waiter felt a chill running through his bones and his hair stood on end. Before he could react, a pair of ghostly eyes suddenly flew to his nose.

The waiter's head was broken by the fear, and his trembling soul was shaking in his pupils.

Before he could howl, he rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.

When Ji Yanli and others reached the entrance of the restaurant, the receptionist who was waiting at the door had already hurriedly come to greet them.

He heard the commotion from a distance.

Seeing Ji Yanli coming to his restaurant, he was extremely happy.

He hurriedly led everyone into the restaurant and took them to the elegant seat that Ji Yanli often went to.

This was not the first time that Ji Yanli came here. He must be a regular customer of Xingfu Restaurant. He ordered a lot of food as if he was familiar with the place.

The waiter in charge of serving was smiling with wrinkles all over his face. He glanced at the dishes ordered by Ji Yanli and frowned slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"We don't have the three things you asked for yet. Qin Laosan, who went up the mountain, said he hasn't come down yet. The other day, Qin Laosan's wife came to our store to complain, saying that Qin Laosan had been up the mountain for so long and didn't even send Xiao Niuzi down the mountain to inform us. She has to make some noodles and put them in the shed where they often rest in the next two days. If you want to eat it, maybe it will be ready in three to five days."

Ji Yanli propped up his head and looked at the menu lazily. His sight just happened to fall on the stir-fried rabbit head. When he heard that it couldn't be eaten today, he sighed with regret.

He couldn't stay on the mountain and often came down the mountain to come here. Although Xuantian Sword Sect never forbade its disciples from eating and drinking, many of Xuantian Sword Sect's disciples who were able to practice fasting voluntarily stopped eating. He was the only exception and came down the mountain whenever he had time.

I often go to Xingfu Restaurant to eat stir-fried rabbit head.

Don't be fooled by his elegant and noble appearance, he really loves this kind of food, and he is originally from Yunchuan, who likes spicy food. He felt very suffocated when he arrived at the territory of Xuantian Sword Sect, where all the food is sweet, and he finds it difficult to swallow sweet food.

When he first came, he was not able to practice fasting and almost starved to death. Fortunately, his father knew that he could not adapt to the food and sent a cook over. The cook stayed until he was able to practice fasting and was then sent away by his master. Ji Yanli was so greedy that he dreamed about Yunchuan's various dishes.

Unfortunately, he only knows how to eat but not how to cook. Even if he is itching to do so, he has no way to feed himself.

That's why, among all the restaurants and eateries in the town at the foot of the mountain, he chose only the Xingfu Restaurant instead of going to any of them.

The guy apologized again and again, so Ji Yanli had to give up, "It's a pity that you can't enjoy it. This spicy rabbit head is simply a delicacy!"

When Gu Lan heard about spicy rabbit head, her expression became quite interesting, and a scene automatically played in her mind: "Hey, how can you eat rabbits? Rabbits are so cute."

Thinking of this, Gu Lan chuckled.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Gu Lan curiously, but Gu Lan waved his hand and said, "No, no, just these few. Besides, my fellow apprentices can't eat spicy food, so it's not a pity."

The waiter was very happy, "Okay, everyone, please sit down, the food will be here soon." Then he retreated with the menu.

Sure enough, the dishes were served after a while.

Ji Yanli is a regular customer here and is responsible for introducing various dishes to everyone.

Shan Ling loves to drink, so Ji Yanli specially ordered the strongest wine here. Xu Fengxi, Xue Hao and Meng Xin also clamored for a drink, so Ji Yanli asked the waiters to bring a few more jars over. Since no one would compete in the next few days, it would be a good time for them to drink to their heart's content.

Seeing that everyone was drinking, Gu Lan thought that there must be someone sober, so he drank lightly.

So they ate, drank and watched the moon at the same time.

It happens to be the fifteenth night of the lunar month, and the moon is as huge as a silver plate hanging in the sky.

There is a river outside the window. The river water is swaying and hitting the shore. The water hits both sides, making broken and messy sounds from time to time.

Far away, an old man rowing a boat was taking a boatload of tourists to wander between the two banks. Lanterns were hung on the rows of restaurants, illuminating both banks. Suddenly, the boat hit something and began to sway violently, causing the people on the boat to scream in surprise.

Seeing this, the old man rowing the boat suddenly thrust the bamboo pole into the water, trying to control the boat from shaking.

The screams from the other side attracted Xu Fengxi and others to lean on the window curiously to watch the fun.

Other diners at the restaurant on the shore also leaned out to take a look, and found the people on that boat so flustered and chaotic that it was really funny. They all gathered at the window, drinking and laughing.

Xu Fengxi was very happy to see this, his eyes sparkling, he turned around and looked at Ji Yanli, "Brother Ji, this place is so lively, you have to do your best to be a good host and take us out more often."

"Yes, yes." Xue Hao was simply a smaller version of Xu Fengxi, lying on the windowsill and watching with great interest.

Ji Yanli took a sip of wine and smiled, "Of course."

Meng Xin was more obedient. He drank quietly and didn't pay much attention to the commotion outside the window.

Xu Fengxi pushed him to watch the fun, but with a thud, he fell drunk on the table.

"Okay, let's get one drunk first." Gu Lan rolled his eyes and stared at Ji Yanli, "This wine is quite strong. Although Junior Brother Meng's alcohol tolerance is not very good, is this enough for half a jar?"
