I was a hunter in ancient times

Last time Zhou Du easily won 1000 taels of silver at Jiangji Restaurant, and even dumped Jiangji Restaurant's face, the arrogant Jiangji Restaurant naturally didn't intend to let him go.

Sending people to follow them all the way, wanting to find out their details, the servants followed them all the way to the gate of Duke Zhen's mansion. Duke Zhen was a man admired by all the people from the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty to Daqing. Knowing that this is not an existence they can provoke, they had no choice but to return without success and go back to work honestly.

Jiang Hong's expression changed when he heard that the Duke of Zhen's government also changed his face. If he was a small or big Beijing official next to him, he could still do some activities in the capital. There are also many contacts.

However, a high-ranking official of Duke Zhen's level is obviously not within the scope of their Jiangji restaurant, so this matter is really difficult to handle.

After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Hong finally gave up. Maybe it was just a certain son of the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion who came to be interested and did it by accident. It was not worth offending the Zhen Guo Gong Committee for 1000 taels of silver.

Jiang Hong swallowed the breath abruptly, and then he didn't take it to heart, and he was cooking in the restaurant with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, it has been almost a month, and the shopkeeper sent someone to report that the person who won 1000 taels of silver last time came again.

Again?

At that time, Jiang Hongzheng was cooking in the hot kitchen with a spatula, with five or six apprentices standing beside him.

Are you interested again?

This month, their Jiangji restaurant has made a big deal of what happened last time. Could it be that they have become interested after hearing some rumors?

Jiang Hong's expression changed back and forth, no matter what the other party's intentions were, if he successfully let them succeed today, he would lose another 1000 taels!

Don't look at their Jiangji restaurant being big and famous, but it is extremely difficult to maintain such a large restaurant.

The monthly relationship management, the daily expensive food expenses, and the more than 100 mouths in the Jiangji Restaurant, all of these cost money.

After subtracting it, the net profit is only so much, 1000 taels of silver seems like a drop in the bucket to outsiders, but only he knows it in his heart, which is equivalent to digging his heart.

But if they are not allowed to play, hundreds of people outside the restaurant will stare at them, which will damage their reputation, and the Duke's Mansion cannot offend them.

Jiang Hong closed his eyes, his thoughts went back and forth in his heart, finally opened his eyes, took a white cloth from an apprentice, wiped the sweat off his body, took a deep breath and said to the people beside him: "Let him Play."

The servant beside him was obviously stunned.

Jiang Hong threw away the white cloth that was wiping sweat in his hand with a look of surprise, and said in a deep voice, "Give him the arrow filled with mercury."

The servant's eyes lit up immediately, the arrow filled with mercury is extremely difficult to control, even the person with the most advanced pot throwing skills can't hit it, last time the deliberately light arrow made that person have shit luck, this time This time I will definitely not let that person win again.

Zhou Du and Shen Xi waited for a while at the pot throwing platform, and after a short wait, the person who had gone to report came out with eight brand new arrows in their hands.

Zhou Du's eyes fixed on the new arrow for a second, then moved away without a trace.

Seeing the person coming, Shen Xi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What, does your boss agree?"

The restaurant clerk replied with a smile: "Of course I agree, Mr. Xiao Lang's husband is so good at throwing pots, so our Jiangji restaurant is naturally very welcoming."

After finishing speaking, he clapped the newly held arrow in his hand again: "This is a good arrow that our boss treasured, and he also asked me to bring it specially for this young master. I hope that young master will hit the whole pot again this time. Add more prestige to Jiangji Restaurant."

Shen Xi pursed his lips. He didn't believe a word of this guy's words. Anyone can say beautiful words. Who knows what gourd medicine is hidden in it.

Immediately, he squinted his eyes and laughed, and said: "Then I will accept your boss's good words."

As he spoke, he rubbed Zhou Du behind him with his elbow: "Husband, everyone has said so, you must win again, and you can't let their boss down."

Zhou Du cooperated and said, "I will do my best."

When the restaurant clerk heard him speak, his eyelids twitched, and an inexplicably strong sense of uneasiness arose in his heart. It was not until his fingertips touched the arrow in his hand that the uneasiness eased.

He handed the arrow to Zhou Du, and said with a smile: "Then I wish you success in advance."

People who have been playing with arrows all year round know arrows as well as their own bodies. As soon as Zhou Du's hand touched the arrow in the buddy's hand, he sensed that there was something wrong with the arrow.

His brows frowned, but he didn't take the arrow immediately, the hand outstretched in mid-air paused.

The restaurant clerk swallowed nervously, with slight sweat stains on his forehead, worried that Zhou Du would find out that there was something wrong with these arrows.

At the moment when he was nervous, Zhou Du had already seen his flaws, restrained his expression, took the problematic arrow in his hand with heavy eyes, and agreed straight away: "I will definitely live up to my high expectations."

The restaurant staff was afraid that Zhou Du would not accept the arrow and would pester him for a while, seeing him accept the arrow without hesitation, he was relieved, and the smile on his face was more sincere than before.

Seeing the situation, Shen Xi also felt something was wrong, pulled Zhou Du away, and taught: "This arrow has obviously been tampered with, why did you take it?"

Zhou Du took out an arrow from the quiver, played it back and forth between his slender fingers for a while, felt the weight of the mercury flowing back and forth in the arrow, and his expression remained unchanged: "It's okay."

People who have never accepted loneliness must not know that when people are bored, they want to try everything, especially things they like.

In his previous life, Zhou Du had no family, no friends, and even few things he liked. He spent long and boring days embracing his arrows.

He tried out all types of bows and arrows in the shooting room one arrow after another, until he got bored with each one, how to find new fun for himself became his daily homework.

Until now, he didn't know how many weird arrows he had played with.

Mercury is but the simplest kind.

It is indeed difficult to control, but as long as it finds its fixed point, it will increase the center of gravity of the arrow, so that not only will it not be misaligned, but it will be easier to hit the target than ordinary arrows.

It can be called a weapon of disadvantage.

Zhou Du played with the arrow in his hand, and suddenly felt that his father-in-law, whom he had never met and would not recognize even if he met, was actually quite a nice person.

Just like a rich boy.

Just when Shen Xi and the restaurant staff thought that Zhou Du would definitely lose if he took the mercury-filled arrow.

Zhou Du hugged the arrow pot and found an empty pot bottle, and the eight arrows did not waste any effort, and it could even be said that he completed the task of hitting all the pots with ease.

He calmly finished throwing all the arrows, and then returned to Shen Xi and his buddies, with the expression on his face still calm: "You have fulfilled your mission."

"Hit...was hit?" The restaurant clerk rubbed his eyes as if he couldn't believe what he saw with his own eyes, "Is this the hit?"

Shen Xi closed his mouth and opened his mouth slightly, with a surprised expression on his face, turned his face, smiled wide, crescent moon curved, a pair of black eyes like the Milky Way pouring into the sky full of stars, looking at Zhou Du with bright and beautiful eyes.

It was as if he was telling people all over the world with a smile that his husband was the most powerful person in the world and no one could match him.

Zhou Du's heart was moved, he stretched out his hand to fall on the top of his hair, stroked it gently, he would no longer be lonely after having Shenxi.

At this time, he felt that he was extremely contradictory. When he didn't see Shen Xi smiling, he wanted to see him laughing, and when he saw him smiling, he wanted him to cry again.

At least he wanted to pull him back now, to have a good cry, like last time.

Shen Xi stared blankly at Hui Zhoudu, and after regaining his senses, he quickly grabbed the restaurant clerk, and said impatiently: "I've won all the pots, give me the money quickly."

The restaurant clerk looked at Zhou Du tremblingly, and seriously doubted whether the person in front of him was a human being. It was impossible for a normal person to hit with such an arrow. Could it be that he was the kind of person who specialized in strange tricks? !

No matter what, the restaurant guy still reported the matter to the restaurant owner Jiang Hong, Jiang Hong's whole complexion became distorted when he heard that he had hit the word Quanhu again.

He clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes darkened: "How is it possible?"

The restaurant clerk didn't dare to hide anything, so he told the truth about what he had seen and heard, and at the end, he asked nervously, "Master, what should we do now, should we give the money or not?"

Jiang Hong was furious in his heart, and his eyes were blood red. He really didn't expect that he had replaced the arrows with mercury arrows, and he could still hit him.

Where did he offend the people of the Duke's Mansion and tell them to bully Jiangji Restaurant like this.

"Give it to him, give it to him, give it to him." Jiang Ji was so angry that he smashed the teacup on the tea table, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had to give the money if he didn't, and he had to give it.

Otherwise, the reputation that Jiangji Restaurant has promoted during this period of time will collapse in an instant.

Jiang Hong gritted until his gums were bleeding. After venting, he confessed to the restaurant clerk: "After giving him the money, give him a hint and tell him not to come again next time. The 2000 taels will be treated as good deeds by our Jiangji Restaurant." , the next time I come back, I won’t ask him to throw pots.”

Jiang Hong's words were extremely blunt, but when the restaurant clerk conveyed them to Zhou Du, he was still polite, and very tactfully expressed his words to the two of them not to come to Jiangji Restaurant again: "Young master is very skilled, so you can't leave behind like this." It shouldn't be buried in the marketplace, you should find a place where you can display your ambitions, the small shop can't afford it, if you come again next time, this pitching pot may not be suitable for you, young master."

The waiter in the restaurant was smiling, and he spoke politely. He was a good-faced person, and he didn't slap the smiling face. It seemed that both of them were reasonable people, so they wouldn't fail to understand his implication.

Zhou Du and Shen Xi took the money, and each of them took a few bank notes to verify the authenticity. They didn't really listen to what the restaurant guy had to say, they just listened to him finish, and looked at them expectantly.

"Okay." Shen Xi put away the banknote, casually perfunctory him, and happily pulled Zhou Du away from Jiangji Restaurant.

Seeing that they agreed, the restaurant staff didn't doubt him, and went back and told Jiang Hong the truth.

Jiang Hong, who had lost two thousand, felt relieved even though he was angry, and when he heard the words that they would not come again, he felt relieved suddenly. The money was considered as a face for the Duke of the State.

Just when Jiang Hong thought the matter was over, and calmed down to study the dishes, Zhou Du brought Shen Xi to appear at the pitching pot table of Jiang Ji Restaurant again within a few days.

This time, Jiang Hong couldn't sit still any longer, so he threw the spatula away, opened his robe, and walked out of Jiangji restaurant angrily.
