Me and my Jianghu Tavern

He is a Taoist, and he came down the mountain this time to travel around the world, as is the case with every Taoist of the Taoist sect.

Xu Yi didn't understand why he wanted to go out of the mountain. He felt that the mountain was very good. Although life was very ordinary, he was not alone with his brothers and sisters.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at Jian'an City, he suddenly saw a restaurant beside the official road, so he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Why is there a restaurant here?"

"What a beautiful pavilion!"

Xu Yi blinked. It was beautiful and meticulously crafted. Daozong didn't have such a beautiful building, but he didn't understand why this restaurant was opened here.

After some thought, he decided to go in and have a look.

"Jianghu Tavern, this word is well written."

While he was looking at the plaque, a man in sackcloth holding a civet cat walked out of the tavern.

Zhang Ming caressed Xiao Qi, glanced at him, and said, "Drink?"

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, feeling a little puzzled in his heart: "Why does this man have a civet cat?"

He came back to his senses and quickly replied, "Ah, yes."

"come in."

Zhang Ming said something, then turned around and walked into the tavern.

Looking at Zhang Ming's back, Xu Yi frowned. He always felt that this person was weird, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Anyway, something is wrong.

Following Zhang Ming into the tavern, Xu Yi looked around at the furnishings of the tavern, and he felt something unusual after entering the door.

"The feng shui here...is too good, I can't fault it at all."

Xu Yi frowned, this restaurant is definitely not simple.

There are only two people and a cat in the tavern. It seems that this man in sackcloth is the shopkeeper of the tavern.

Zhang Ming had already returned to his seat. He looked at Xu Yi and said, "There is only one kind of wine, and the price and rules are all on the wall."

"it is good."

Xu Yi nodded, then looked up at the price list on the wall and the tavern rules written by Zhang Ming.

——Osmanthus fermented glutinous rice wine: four taels of silver per pot

He was startled when he saw the price of the wine, and exclaimed: "A pot of fermented glutinous rice sells for four taels of silver!?"

Zhang Ming didn't say anything, and continued to rub his cat.

He can't change the price, and he's not cheating, it's really worth the price.

"Shopkeeper, you wrote the price wrong, right?" Xu Yi frowned.

Zhang Ming shook his head, "It's not wrong, it's just four twos and one pot."

Xu Yi was shocked, it was really a pot of four or two, the shopkeeper really dared to set the price, isn't this bluffing people.

"Want to drink? If you want to drink, take the silver."

"what!?"

Xu Yi's eyes widened. The shopkeeper actually asked him if he wanted to drink?

"Shopkeeper, do you think I look like a fool?" Xu Yi frowned, feeling that he was insulted.

"I don't think you're an idiot. You'll know if it's worth the price after drinking it. If you're not satisfied, you can get your money back." Zhang Ming's face was calm, and there was no trace of panic on his face.

Zhang Ming has already made it clear that if he feels dissatisfied, he can get his money back. In short, drink as much as you like, and forget it if you don’t drink.

When Xu Yi heard this, he took a look at him, and the confident look of the man in sackcloth made him mutter.

Is it really good wine?Great value for money?

However, isn't the four taels of silver a bit too expensive? Besides, no matter how delicious it is, it's still fermented glutinous rice, how delicious it can be.

So this must be a black shop!

The master asked me to go down the mountain to practice, isn't it just to kill evil and eliminate evil? I didn't expect to meet him right after I went down the mountain.

"Isn't it too exaggerated for you to set such a price?" Xu Yi's eyes were burning, as if he was questioning.

"Exaggerated?" Zhang Ming shook his head, "I don't think so."

"You..." Xu Yi was at a loss for words for a moment, but he didn't know how to repent. He really wasn't a good person.

Such a black shop opened on the official road must have harmed many people, it is really a black shop, it is really a black hearted boss.

Xu Yi thought to himself, maybe this is why the master asked him to go down the mountain.

Xu Yi smiled slightly and said, "Shopkeeper, why don't we make a bet?"

Zhang Ming frowned, could it be that this guy wanted to provoke something?Fortunately, I was really fearless.

"Bet? Why should I bet."

It's also because Daozong doesn't advocate beating and killing. If someone else changed, maybe they wouldn't be nagging here at all.

"If it's not worth four taels, then please trouble the shopkeeper to close this black shop."

"Black shop?"

Zhang Ming finally understood that this guy is just meddling in his own business and looking for trouble. Is it true that all Taoist priests are like this?

"How can you be sure that I am a black shop?"

"Isn't it? Four taels and a pot of fermented glutinous rice, it's not a black shop."

"Oh, I see, you want to be a hero?" Zhang Ming looked at him and continued, "Okay, but what if you lose?"

"It's not a hero, it's just that I can't stand it." Xu Yi couldn't think of what to do for a while, so he didn't speak.

Seeing this little Taoist priest's dignified appearance, Zhang Ming suddenly wanted to tease this kid.

Zhang Ming glanced at him and laughed, "If you lose, how about taking 40 taels and buying a jug of wine?"

"40 taels!? This..."

Xu Yi hesitated a little, 40 taels, he doesn't have that much money, what should he do if it's really what he said.

"Don't dare?" Zhang Ming said, this person is not particularly stupid, he knows how to think.

"Who, who said no!"

Xu Yi was dazzled for a while, and muttered in his mouth: "I don't believe it, what tricks can be made with a bowl of fermented glutinous rice!!"

"Drink!"

Xu Yi lifted up the long sword in his Taoist robe, slapped it, and sat in front of the table with his chest up, and let out a loud heck.

"Wait."

Zhang Ming put Xiao Qi down and walked into the inner room in front of Xu Yi, which was the warehouse where the wine was kept.

"This black shop must be closed today!"

Zhang Ming, who was fetching wine, laughed inwardly when he heard this, with awe-inspiring righteousness, taking the lead, he is worthy of being a role model for our generation!

The master said that the experience of going down the mountain is the heart of training. Keeping the original heart, clear heart and meditation is the purpose of this trip.

In all fairness, he couldn't see that such a black shop had been open here.

"The wine is here."

After drinking a pot of osmanthus fermented glutinous rice wine and taking another cup, Zhang Ming walked out of the warehouse.

"Hmph!" Xu Yi snorted coldly, took the jug and poured it into his mouth.

"Gollum."

The moment the wine enters...

Xu Yi knew that he had already lost.

The aroma of rice, wine, and sweet-scented osmanthus bloom in the mouth, and a thin warm current enters the abdomen, hovers at the dantian, and flows to all parts of the body along the veins.

Although the pure internal force is very small, Xu Yi can feel the slight increase of internal force.

"how can that be!!"

Xu Yi's eyes widened, thinking it was his own illusion, he took another sip suddenly, and the same thin warm current flowed into his dantian.

He understands that he has lost!

Zhang Ming couldn't help laughing when he saw the little Taoist priest's appearance. He earned 40 taels for nothing, which is not a loss.

"Clap."

Xu Yi froze on the spot, the jug in his hand fell on the table, and the wine flowed out from the mouth of the bottle and flowed down the table to the ground.

Zhang Ming didn't care about him, he sat back at the counter, and continued to lick his cat. He shouldn't be able to run away, and the Taoist priest should still show some face.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the wine in the jug had already drained.

The tavern was filled with a faint smell of wine, and the man who licked his cat looked at the little Taoist priest on the table with his chin propped up.

The little Taoist moved. He stood up and walked in front of Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming looked calm and stroked Xiaoqi's paw.

"Chenghui, 40 taels!"

"..."

Xu Yi's complexion was pale, and he asked, "How did this happen..."

"You have no money?"

Xu Yi's lips parted slightly, and he held back for a long time before he could say a word, "...Yes!"

"You dare to bet without money, and you just trust your own judgment?" Zhang Ming said.

Xu Yi gritted his teeth. He really wanted to know how a pot of wine could increase his internal strength.

Incredible.

"In the end... how did you do it?" Xu Yi continued to ask.

"So, don't talk too much." Zhang Ming said earnestly, and then asked, "Speaking of which, are you from the Taoist sect?"

Xu Yi saw that he didn't answer the question, so he didn't ask any more. He sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Xu Yi, Daoist Taoist."

"A Daoist? And a Daoist? Will you have no money?"

"...Pin Dao didn't bring any silver taels when he went down the mountain."

"Oh~" Zhang Ming let out a long sigh.

"Then how about this, I'm short of a mistress, or you can be my mistress to pay off the debt."

"How can this..."

"Don't panic, it's not that I won't let you go, you ask people from your sect to redeem you with money, and you can leave after taking the money."

"No, no, this is absolutely not possible!"

Xu Yi panicked. If he let his master know that he had done such a foolish thing, he would have to nag again. He was most afraid of his master's nagging, and he would keep talking.

Zhang Ming suppressed a smile, this little Taoist is really interesting.

Taoist Daozi?Why are you so cute? Why didn't you show off your aura just now.

Zhang Ming said, "So what do you want?"

Holding the long sword in his hand, Xu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Five days, give me five days, and I will pay you back the 40 taels."

It's not that the tavern manager is aggressive, it's because he made a mistake first, so it's hard for him to refute at this time.

Seeing his embarrassment, Zhang Ming wanted to laugh, so he said: "Three days, I will give you three days, you can either come back to be the waiter in the shop, or give me 40 taels, if you run away, I will go everywhere Tell others that Taoist Daoist Xu Yi did not keep his word and bullied me..."

"Okay, three days is three days!"

Xu Yi gritted his teeth tightly. If word got out, not only would he lose face, but also the sect.

Zhang Ming nodded. He decided not to tease this guy anymore, so he said, "Well, then you can go."

"what?"
