To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 332 Price increase

  The mutton with skin is smoldered with the best rice wine until the tendons are crispy and the meat is rotten. Turn it to the red clay stove on a low heat to maintain the boiling heat of the soup.

  Beside it is shochu held in dark brown wine jars, each jar just holds a catty of wine, which looks a bit small and cute.

  Placed next to the wine jar is a plate of laba garlic, emerald green like emerald, hot and sour appetizer.

  Eat a mouthful of mutton, drink a mouthful of shochu; eat a mouthful of mutton, taste a clove of Laba garlic.

  Snow is floating outside the window, sitting in front of the steaming pot and eating leisurely, the pain of running around for days quietly dissipated, and everything turned into satisfaction.

   Wei Han thought to himself, there is mutton, shochu, and Laba garlic, and he can't get enough to eat every day.

  So, the wine shop should be open for a long time.

   But—isn’t Miss Luo hungry?

  He held the wine cup and looked towards the counter, and then looked back at the pot in front of him, suddenly feeling a little regretful.

   It would be nice if Miss Luo ate together.

  In addition to the mutton pot, you can also add a fish ball pot.

  There was movement at the door.

   Wei Han casually looked over.

   Standing at the door were two teenagers, one was sixteen or seventeen years old, with an elegant demeanor like Hsinchu, and the other was younger, with vigor and vigor even though his face was rebellious.

  With the arrival of the two teenagers, the lights in the lobby seemed to be brighter.

  These two teenagers, Wei Han, knew each other. The older one was Lin Shu, the second-grandson of Lin Jijiu, and the younger one was Xu Qi, the eldest son of the Marquis of Changchun.

   After careful study, the two are cousins.

  Xu Qi seemed to be dragged here by Lin Shuqiang, with a face of reluctance.

  Luo Sheng saw that the two stood up to greet them, and asked with a smile, "Are you two here for a drink?"

   "Yeah." Facing Miss Luo who smiled gently and enthusiastically, Lin Shu's scalp tingled.

   That strange feeling like a grandmother greeting him came again!

  He took a deep look at Luo Sheng, then shook his head imperceptibly.

  She is obviously a young and beautiful girl, why does he always have such weird thoughts?

   There must be something wrong with him.

  The boy who fell into self-doubt stood at the door of the restaurant, momentarily absent-minded.

  Xu Qimu looked at Luo Sheng vigilantly, and also stood still at the door.

   To him, Miss Luo is not a pretty girl, and she has nothing to do with her kind grandmother.

   Of course, his grandmother wasn't kind either.

  Miss Luo is the devil in his eyes.

  And Wei Han's attention fell on the smile on the girl's lips.

  Miss Luo also personally went to meet...

   "It's snowing outside, come in quickly. I'll give you half the price today, and I'll give you two pots of rice wine." Luo Sheng turned sideways, motioning the two teenagers to enter.

  The shochu released by the restaurant in winter is too strong for them to drink, and the hot rice wine is just right.

   Wei Han squeezed the wine cup tightly.

  Half price?

   Free rice wine?

   Wei Han raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp. The empty wine cup was placed on the table, making a slight sound.

   This sound did not attract anyone's attention.

   No, Shi Yan still noticed it.

  The little guard strode over and smiled at the two teenagers: "Follow me, you two."

   Facing the shop waiter with a bright smile, Lin Shu and Xu Qisong followed with a sigh of relief. After walking a few steps, they saw a young man sitting by the window with a serious face.

  Lin Shu cupped his hands: "I have seen the prince."

  He gently tugged Xu Qi.

  Xu Qi followed to salute.

   Wei Han nodded slightly, and was not in the mood to speak when facing the two beautiful boys who offered half price and free wine.

  The two teenagers didn't notice the prince's indifference.

  In their view, this is the normal appearance of King Kaiyang.

   "I want a mutton pot." Lin Shu glanced at his cousin, weighed his purse again, and added, "Ten buns."

  After the accident in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he came here to eat once alone, and the mutton pot with steamed buns was very delicious.

  Thinking about his grandfather and cousin who were not convenient to come to drink, Lin Shu felt a little complicated.

  He is white, sometimes he is more comfortable.

  Perhaps in the eyes of the world, he who has no hope of official career is just a broken pot.

   But if you don’t consider Miss Luo, who is smiling kindly, he actually likes the comfort here, but it’s a bit more expensive, and he can’t bear it even at half the price.

"Here's a pot of shochu." Xu Qi didn't think too much about it. He was already full of anger when he was forced by his cousin to come to the place of the female devil. Smelling the smell of mutton in the lobby, he felt that a sip of strong wine would be enough .

   "Okay." Shi Yan wiped the table cleanly, then turned to serve the dishes.

   "Serve rice wine." Luo Sheng reminded lightly.

  Annoyance was hidden in Xu Qi's eyes, and he said angrily, "This is not a restaurant, why are customers not allowed to order food?"

  Luo Sheng said with a blank expression: "The rice wine is a gift, and the soju is one hundred taels of silver per jar. As long as the money is not bad, of course you can order whatever you want."

   Wei Han stared at the two empty wine jugs on the table in a daze: the price increase was a bit steep, before this meal was only 30 taels of silver a jar.

  Lin Shu changed his face slightly.

  One hundred taels and one altar?

   If the cousin dares to order, he doesn't want this cousin anymore, so he can keep the money for the drink.

  Xu Qi was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to the wine jar in front of Wei Han and blurted out: "Such a small jar of soju costs one hundred taels? Why don't you grab it?"

  Luo Sheng smiled: "The price of the restaurant is clearly marked, there is no need to grab it, if you don't believe me, you can ask the prince."

  Xu Xi looked at Wei Han.

   Wei Han said without changing his face, "Well, it's the price."

   Anyway, there is not much difference between thirty taels and one hundred taels, so Miss Luo can do whatever she wants.

  Xu Qi held his breath in his chest, gritted his teeth and said, "Have a jar of shochu!"

   One hundred taels is one hundred taels, does he think he can’t afford the money?

   "Cousin, the rice wine is delicious." Lin Shu felt that his indifferent and free-spirited self was about to leave, leaving only a cousin who wanted to beat his cousin.

  Xu Qi said disapprovingly, "I'll invite my cousin, I have money."

  Recently, the family has been generous with money, and he has a lot of money.

  Lin Shu's face darkened, and he said to Shi Yan: "Just serve two pots of rice wine and ignore him."

  Xu Qi suddenly stood up: "What's the point of eating mutton pot without drinking soju, don't eat it!"

   "Sit down!" Lin Shu finally lost his temper.

  At this time, the steaming pot was served on the table.

  The copper pot is obviously one size larger than the adjacent table, and inside it is piled up with pieces of meat. Scallions and peppers are churning with the boiling soup, and the rich aroma is tangy.

  Xu Qi sat back all of a sudden.

  Sit down as soon as you sit down, just as a face to your cousin.

  Lin Shu sighed slightly when he saw Xu Qi being honest, raised a chopstick and put a piece of mutton into his bowl: "Eat first."

  Xu Qi picked up the mutton with a sullen face and ate a piece.

   I ate another piece.

   I ate another piece...

  Finally, break open the steamed buns and dip them in the broth, and start eating the steamed buns.

   Seeing that he was almost done eating, Lin Shu put down his chopsticks and said in a low voice, "Cousin, I hope today is the last time you will go to the casino, and you must not go there again."

   Going to the casino?

   Luo Sheng, who had been paying attention to the two elder nephews, squinted his eyes.
