Bai Song whispered softly and walked slowly to the table.
First, he touched Xiang'er's little hand naturally, and then turned his attention to Zheng Liangqiu.
Miss Zheng frowned slightly and lowered her head slightly.
Seeing this person again, this young lady felt a little embarrassed.
Bai Song greeted Zheng Liangqiu, looked up at the frightened young master and asked, "Young Master Zheng, are you okay?"
"Bai Baibai..." Zheng Xingzhi's mouth trembled, and he muttered one word over and over again. How could his submissive appearance look like a playboy?
How did Zheng Xingzhi know that he would meet this big devil at the banquet today?
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come even if I had beaten him to death.
I hated Boss Zhang in my heart, but I didn't dare to say anything.
The young master of the Zheng family was really afraid of this person. He knew very well that this poor man not only hit him, but also caused trouble for the entire Zheng family.
If it hadn't been for what this man caused, the Zheng family's current situation wouldn't be so uncomfortable.
There will be no situation where the Chen family enters Jixian County in an attempt to challenge the Zheng family.
He had known for a long time that Bai Song was back, and the elders in his family repeatedly warned him not to provoke this person again.
Although Zheng Xingzhi is not very old, he has a flexible mind and can see the situation clearly.
Bai Song alone made the whole family uneasy, how could he, a little brat, dare to provoke him?
So I haven't dared to go out these days, thinking of keeping a low profile for a while.
Today's trip is entirely because I have been cooped up at home for too long and I really can't hold it in any longer.
I secretly thought that if I just went out to have a meal, nothing would happen, so I came to this restaurant.
It's great now that I met the person I least expected to meet when I went out. I just regretted that I didn't check the almanac when I went out.
Seeing that his younger brother was so nervous, Zheng Liangqiu cheered up and smiled at Bai Song: "Mr. Bai, please let these past grievances go away for Xiang'er's sake, right? It was the Zheng family who had offended many people in the past. Today's banquet, the little girl
I will first punish myself with three cups of wine as an apology."
After saying that, Zheng Liangqiu drank three glasses of wine one after another without waiting for Bai Song's response.
The wine for today’s banquet is Wuliangye, a new spirit launched by Xiajia Winery.
The wine was far more powerful than ordinary wine. After drinking three glasses in a row, Zheng Liangqiu's cheeks instantly glowed red, his eyes shone with mist, it was so charming, and his breath left a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth.
Xiang'er gently pulled Bai Song's clothes and said softly: "Mr. sir, please don't mention the past things again, okay? Sister Zheng apologized several times before you came and said many good things to me."
Bai Song originally didn't have a good impression of this Miss Zheng, but Xiang'er had already spoken out in person, so there was no need to worry about it.
What's more important is that Bai Song has experienced a lot in the past six months, and the hatred in the past has also dissipated a lot in Bai Song's heart.
Bai Song felt a little calmer, but he hadn't expressed his stance yet.
Zheng Xingzhi also said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I...I will also punish myself with three cups."
After saying that, Zheng Xingzhi also poured the wine himself and drank heavily all the way.
Boss Zhang, who was ignored later, was dumbfounded and thought to himself, what is going on?
"My boss, is this...is this really the young lady of the Zheng family?" a fellow companion asked in a low voice.
Boss Zhang turned around and glared: "How can this be false?"
"Why are you two so afraid of Bai Song?"
Boss Zhang said that he wanted to know why, so why did he show such a horrified expression?
Boss Zhang really doesn’t understand. Doesn’t the Zheng family have a grudge against the Lin family’s son-in-law?
The fact that the son-in-law of a poor family beat the young master of the Zheng family was known to everyone in Youzhou at that time.
Then the Zheng family began to target the son-in-law of a poor family. It was said that the poor family was forced to have no choice but to be like a lost dog.
Then suddenly there was no news and I thought he was dead.
Even if the news of the death is false, now the person appears again in Jixian County, and at the same time appears in front of the young master of the Zheng family.
Who is this young master of the Zheng family?
When you see an enemy, why don't you just rush up and hit them?
This is Jixian County, the territory of the Zheng family!
How could a notoriously dandy young man be afraid of a poor family?
A lot of questions popped up, and Boss Zhang was confused. Before he could figure it out, the waiter outside the hall brought today's protagonist, honey-brewed bear's paw.
This bear paw alone cost Boss Zhang ten taels of silver, and there was no trouble at all for today's banquet.
Seeing the four people in the hall chatting with Meimei, Boss Zhang didn't even leave his seat.
The banquet broke up today, and Bai Song also benefited a lot.
It's no wonder that other people's restaurants are high-end, and the ingredients alone are much more than their own restaurants.
Not only bear paws, but also beef.
When they first met, Bai Song was still a little curious and thought, wasn't it illegal to eat beef in ancient times?
Later, I heard Zheng Liangqiu explain that those cattle that died of old age, disease, or injuries can be reported to the county officials before being sold. As long as it is recorded, they can be sold for food. As long as they are not publicized, wealthy people will always How many times can I eat it?
Bai Song was thinking that he would have to bring back some high-end ingredients for his restaurant.
Zheng Liangqiu heard that Bai Song opened a restaurant in Jixian County, so he excused himself to go and have a look.
In fact, I wanted to take advantage of Xiang'er's presence to have more contact with Bai Song and avoid conflicts with the Zheng family in the future as much as possible.
It took half an hour to finish a table of dishes.
Bai Song led the way and asked Zheng Liangqiu to visit his restaurant. He casually asked Zheng Xingzhi if he wanted to go.
How could Zheng Xingzhi dare to go the same way as Bai Song? He shook his head repeatedly and excused himself by saying that he had other things to do.
Seeing Bai Song leaving Shang Yuan Restaurant, Zheng Liangqiu sat down again dejectedly, letting out a breath of shock and saying to himself that he was lucky not to have been beaten.
At this moment, Boss Zhang sneaked into the hall and quietly wanted to ask the young master what was going on.
But before he could speak, the young master of the Zheng family suddenly returned to his dandy nature, and threw a bottle of unfinished wine on Boss Zhang's face.
"Yes! You want to torture me to death, right?"
Boss Zhang was completely stunned and had no idea what was going on.
Before he could react, Zheng Xingzhi walked up to him in three steps, grabbed Boss Zhang's beard, and slapped him on the face twice, leaving a five-fingerprint on both sides of Boss Zhang in an instant.
"If you dare to invite me to your shabby restaurant again, do you believe that your belongings will be burned down?!"
"Master Zheng...this...this...why is this?"
Boss Zhang was full of sorrow. He had spent so much time with him, drinking and eating, but instead got slapped twice. What's this?
Zheng Xingzhi was furious and didn't want to stay here any longer, so he left Boss Zhang and left.
The clerk in the store hid aside and did not dare to intervene. Seeing that the young master of the Zheng family was gone, he cautiously came forward: "Master, are you okay?"
"Are you blind? Is this okay? Ouch...get me the medicine quickly!"
…
Boss Zhang thought about what went wrong with today's dinner for a long time and still couldn't figure it out.
But one thing is clear: trying to use the Zheng family to deal with the poor family of the opponent will not work.
And the Zheng family is not at its peak now. In addition to the Zheng family, there is also the Chen family that can be borrowed.
At dusk, there were some customers in the two restaurants facing each other, and both were giving lectures. Although the scene was lively, everyone was still in peace.
In front of the Shangyuan Restaurant, Boss Zhang took out a recliner and sat there, with an ice pack on his face and his legs crossed, looking at the Donglai Restaurant across the way with growing annoyance.
"Look at it, the Zheng family is afraid of you, and the Chen family is not easy to mess with."
Although the boss in this picture is named Zhang, he has an inseparable relationship with the Chen family.
To be precise, this Shangyuan Restaurant is the property of the Chen family.
The boss is the owner of this piece, and the title deed of the restaurant is in the hands of the Chen family. Before the restaurant opened, it was also the Chen family who funded the construction.
Boss Zhang is only responsible for management.
As a traditional gentry, the Chen family would never let their own family handle business in order to distance themselves from merchants.
This is also the essential difference between the Chen family and the Zheng family.
Among the Chen family's properties, there are a large number of businesses that are not under their own name, and Shangyuan Restaurant is just one of them.
This is why when many noble families are in decline, the Chen family is even more powerful. The fundamental reason is because the head of the family has a unique vision and knows that making money is the best way to continue the family.
As the night progressed, the storytellers ended and the guests left one after another.
Just as people were leaving the restaurant, several people arrived at the door of Shangyuan Restaurant.
Seeing these people, Boss Zhang immediately stood up from the recliner and hurriedly greeted them.
Most of the visitors were dressed as servants, and one of them, a middle-aged man, was dressed luxuriously, but not like a businessman wearing gold and silver, and had an aura of literary style.
Boss Zhang seemed to be more respectful in front of this person than in front of the young master of the Zheng family. He cupped his fists with both hands and bowed at a ninety-degree angle.
The middle-aged man frowned when he saw the ice pack on Boss Zhang's face: "What did you do?"
Boss Zhang immediately put on a grimace and begged for trouble: "Master Chen, why are you here? I've been forced to suffer so much in recent days!"
"Huh? You are really weird. How can anyone bully you?"
"Third Master, look at our face. This is not just bullying on my younger brother, but also bullying on the Chen family."
Master Chen's face darkened: "Is there anyone who dares not to take the Chen family seriously?"
"No!" The waiter behind Boss Zhang immediately answered and said bitterly, "It's that dandy young master from the Zheng family. Our family invited him to dinner out of kindness, but when he came up, he slapped his boss twice!"
"Young master of the Zheng family?" Mr. Chen frowned even more tightly, "This matter will not be easy to handle. The young master of the Zheng family is the only child of Zheng Tai'a. Don't mess with this man. Brother Zhang, you...
…”
Before Chen Sanye finished speaking, Boss Zhang turned around and slapped the waiter in the face: "Who told you to talk!"
There was a crisp sound, and the man was beaten into a circle.
Mr. Chen didn't understand either and looked at Boss Zhang in astonishment: "This..."
"Third Master, don't listen to his nonsense. These two slaps on my brother's face were given by the guy from the opposite house."
Boss Zhang pointed his hand at Donglai Restaurant opposite.
Today, the lecture at Donglai Restaurant is even later, and the guests inside have not dispersed yet.
Looking from a distance, Donglai Restaurant is packed with people, and from time to time there are cheers.
Chen Sanye was stunned, frowned, and asked, "Donglai Restaurant? Didn't Brother Zhang say that it can no longer be opened?"
