The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 33

[Chapter 33 The Strongest Wine]

“How is this possible?”

Seeing Zhao Yan guess the lantern riddle, the man murmured with an expression of extreme surprise on his face.

Fang Xiu smiled and said, “You lost.”

The man looked a little dazed. After a moment, he looked up at Fang Xiu, gritted his teeth and said, “I’m willing to admit defeat.”

After he finished speaking, he didn’t say anything. Without any pause, he suddenly shouted: “I’m not as good as a woman——!”

After shouting, he turned around and walked away without stopping at all.

“Who is it again? Why are you yelling for nothing!”

“What’s going on today? Are everyone suffering from heart failure?”

Everyone was regretting not guessing such a simple lantern riddle when they suddenly heard a shout, They were all startled, and after calming down, they started yelling.

Fang Xiu glanced at the man’s back and thought that this man was decisive and had no intention of cheating.

Fortunately, he didn’t do this, otherwise… he would have suffered even greater losses.

Fang Xiu shook his head and ignored him, focusing on Zhao Yan.

As the first person to guess the lantern riddle, in addition to ten taels of silver, you can also enjoy a free meal at Chunfeng Tower.

This is a method that Fang Xiu came up with. One is to promote Chunfeng Restaurant’s signature, and the other is to better listen to the opinions of diners to improve the dishes.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan took advantage of her in the end.

In the crowd, Zhao Yan felt her face getting hot as she listened to the congratulations, and glanced at Fang Xiu guiltily.

Coincidentally, Fang Xiu was also looking at her, and their eyes met in mid-air.

In just a moment, Zhao Yan lowered her head, showing a rare shy posture of a young woman.

She guessed this lantern riddle by cheating.

At this moment, hearing praises such as “talented woman”, after feeling proud, I can’t help but feel guilty and ashamed.

“We have a few new dishes at Chunfeng Restaurant. I wonder if the girl can give them a try and taste them?”

the boy asked after handing the silver ingot to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan lowered her head, thought for a while, looked up at him, and asked, “I have a few more friends, can I bring them with me?”

The boy smiled and said, “Of course, please come in, girl.”

Zhao Yan faced He smiled and waved to Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu smiled and followed with Xiu’er and Bai Xiaochun.

Several people entered Chunfeng Tower.

Facing the crowd, the boy shouted loudly: “The first riddle has been solved. The remaining ninety-nine riddles, whoever can guess the correct answer can get the ten taels of silver rewarded by Chunfeng Tower.” Everyone is eager to participate!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was eager to try.

A riddle that a little girl can solve, can’t they, a group of scholars who have read poetry and books, still not be able to solve it?

I couldn’t figure it out before, just because I didn’t find the right method.

Now that there is a method, as long as you think a little, ten taels of silver can be easily grasped

. There are many people with this mentality, so more and more people have joined the team of guessing lantern riddles.

For a time, the entire Gujing Street became lively again.

The man who had made a bet with Fang Xiu still felt a little hot on his face after entering Chunfeng Tower.

In his mind, women cannot bring peace to the country through literature, nor can they rule the country through force. The greatest use of women is to support their husbands and raise children at home.

Although he had no achievements, Han Chuang had studied hard for more than ten years and was not even qualified to be a student member, let alone a candidate or Jinshi.

But this does not prevent him from looking down on women.

Today, because of a bet, I admit that I am not as good as a woman.

Even though he was in a crowded place and no one noticed him, it still made him feel extremely humiliated.

Sitting on the chair in the lobby, the more he thought about it, the more irritated he became. He felt that there was a suffocation in his heart, which was uncomfortable and tight.

After a moment, he rubbed his brows, looked at the waiter who was waiting for guests in the lobby, and shouted: “Waiter, I want the strongest wine here!”

No matter in ancient or modern times.

Wine is always the best vehicle to express depression.

You need to drink to say goodbye to an old friend, you need to drink to express your sorrows, and you need to drink even if you lose in a game of chess.

At this moment, he was so bored that he could only drink to drown his sorrows.

Hearing the shouting, a young man in green clothes hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

He glanced at the man’s attire and reminded: “Sir, our spirits at Chunfeng Tower are not cheap.”

The man said coldly: “Why, are you looking down on people?” The

boy said hurriedly: “Little Jue I don’t mean that.”

The man snorted coldly and said, “No matter how expensive the wine is, I’ve drank it from Yangjiangchun in Yuezhou, you know? I tell you,

no matter what he said two days ago, He nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

When the man saw this, he just felt that he was playing the harp to a cow and was bored. He turned to ask, “How much silver does this wine cost?”

It was originally for the sake of the guests that I reminded them of the price of the wine. Unexpectedly, I was met with random accusations.

It’s nothing more than accusations.

Having said all that, I still have to ask about the money.

The boy was disdainful in his heart, but did not show it at all on his face. He said, “The strongest wine in our store is called ‘Get drunk and you’ll rest’. A cup costs ten taels of silver.

However, today is the Lantern Festival, so you can taste it for just one tael of silver .”

A cup. “

Twelve taels of silver… a cup?”

Why not grab it! ?

When the man first heard about ten taels of silver, he almost jumped out of his chair.

But after hearing the second half of the sentence, he calmed down again.

Chunfeng Tower has a clearly marked price.

I have reminded you in advance that whether to buy or not is the customer’s own decision and has nothing to do with the restaurant.

After all, that man had read the books of sages for more than ten years, so he still understood this point.

He hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, “One tael of silver is just one tael of silver. I want to see today what kind of strong wine is worth ten taels of silver!”

“Okay, Sir, please wait a moment. Wait.”

The boy bowed his hands and resigned.

After a while, a glass of wine was brought and placed on the table.

The man looked at it carefully for a moment and found that the wine in the glass was clear and transparent, like nectar.

His eyes couldn’t help but shine with light, and even the pain in his body that he had just spent a couple of silvers on was reduced a bit.

He took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass, and drank it down impatiently.

The wine went into his throat, and his face quickly turned red.

Immediately afterwards, the whole person let out a comfortable groan, with an expression of extreme satisfaction on his face, and said loudly: “Good wine!”

Plop!

After saying these two words, his body shook a few times, then he fell on the table and fell unconscious.

On the side, the young boy in Tsing Yi saw this scene and felt very disdainful. You’re so arrogant about

how much you drink

, but you want to serve the strongest wine?
