RPAGF Chapter 300: Abyss Can Crawl
Chapter 300: Abyss Can Crawl
Wuyuan was once again hit by a culinary attack.
The child, who looked like a chubby little seal, was sitting in the middle of a bamboo mat wearing long sleeves and a long shirt. His big, dark eyes, like black grapes, were fixed on the various skewered grilled meats that the adults were holding.
The aroma of barbecue was like a hook, constantly luring his mouth out, leaving his hands feeling wet as if they had been washed.
Even after all that, not a single person noticed him.
"what……"
Wu Yuan stretched out his small, lotus-root-like arms and shook them vigorously toward the table.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he became so anxious that he put his little fist into his mouth again and smacked it loudly, as if he could taste the meat that way.
The chubby little feet were kicking restlessly, making the bamboo mat rustle.
"Ah...da..."
The child raised his voice, trying to get attention.
But the adults were busy fighting over the last skewer of grilled shrimp, and even his eldest sister, who usually doted on him the most, was with her back to him, brushing chili oil onto the grilled shark fin.
There was no immediate response.
In an instant, tears of grievance welled up in Wu Yuan's eyes.
He looked at his wet fingers, then at his older sister and fourth brother enjoying their meal, and suddenly burst into tears, his little face turning red, even the tuft of hair on his head trembling.
Finally, amidst the aroma of barbecue, the chubby little boy braced his hands on the bamboo mat, stuck out his bottom, and arched forward with all his might.
It moved forward clumsily, like a little turtle.
"Goku, you can climb now..."
Sihai, holding a skewer of shrimp, only realized what was happening when he heard his younger brother crying, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Xu Yi's eyes also showed surprise. Just how hungry was he?
That's how this little rascal learned to crawl.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the teahouse across the street.
Behind the half-open carved wooden window, two figures were hidden in the shadows.
Gao Haoming's Adam's apple bobbed, and he unconsciously swallowed: "Damn, what smells so good?"
Xu Wenli was also a glutton. Even though he had eaten a full breakfast, he couldn't help but crave the aroma and kept drinking tea.
A servant came up to refill their water and, overhearing their conversation, laughed and said...
"Esteemed guests, you may not know this, but our teahouse is right next to the Wufu Restaurant across the street. We can smell whatever delicious food Boss Xu makes from right here..."
As he spoke, the tea dripped down.
"If you two have time, you can go across the street and have a taste at noon."
After speaking, the servant retreated to another table to continue refilling tea.
Gao Haoming licked his chapped lips, suddenly remembering the meal they had across the street last time: "Second Master! We're going to eat anyway, so how about we..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Wenli glanced at him.
"Are you afraid she won't know we're back? Wait! We're here to do serious business."
Gao Haoming's words were interrupted by a sudden fragrance.
The wind shifted, carrying an even stronger smell of barbecue straight to their faces.
Gao Haoming's stomach rumbled loudly, and he immediately frowned: "This is really torturous."
Xu Wenli remained as steady as a rock, staring intently at the restaurant across the street.
"Ah!"
Gao Haoming suddenly sneezed loudly, perhaps because the smell of chili oil wafted up.
His face was covered in snot and tears, making him look extremely disheveled.
Xu Wenli gave him a disdainful look and threw the handkerchief at his face.
"Can't you be a little more sensible?"
Gao Haoming didn't dare to say a word and wiped his face clean with a handkerchief.
Downstairs, Wu Yuan's crying gradually subsided, turning into soft sobs. The child sat steadily in Xu Yiyi's arms, his little face wet, his nose red, and his big, dark eyes staring at her face with a pitiful expression.
The chubby little finger pointed at her, babbling and accusing her.
Xu Yiyi was amused by his pitiful appearance and quickly wiped his face with her sleeve, gently coaxing him.
She turned to the crowd and said, "Hurry up and get ready, the restaurant should open soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yunniang took the lead in tidying up.
In no time, the barbecue marks in the yard were cleaned up, leaving only the faint aroma of charcoal in the air and Sihai and Ayue licking their lips, still wanting more.
Old Lu looked at the wine jug and felt it was a pity that there wasn't much wine left.
Without good side dishes, the drink doesn't taste as good.
"old road!"
Xu Yiyi suddenly spoke, startling him so much that he quickly hid the wine pot behind his back.
How much wine is left in my cellar?
The old man cleared his throat guiltily, "There are still two large buckets left, enough to sell for ten days."
Actually, ten days is a long time.
The liquor brewed by Xu Yiyi is a high-proof baijiu with a very mellow body, and it is the liquor that Lao Lu loves to sneak a sip of.
Another one is plum wine, which is made by further brewing distilled liquor.
It has a richer flavor than baijiu (Chinese white liquor).
This one is expensive, but it's also the best-selling one.
Because Xu Yiyi couldn't buy enough plums, this plum wine was still a limited edition.
Each table of guests can only order one pot.
Demand exceeds supply.
Xu Yiyi's lips twitched. Judging by the time, the first batch of wine had been brewing for more than a month, and it seemed that it was time to open the barrels for distillation.
With a creak, the wooden door of the restaurant was pushed open, and sunlight slanted in, falling on the polished tables and chairs.
The sounds of bustling streets gradually became clearer.
"Second Master! It's that little fat boy."
Gao Haoming was leaning against the window, feeling bored, when he suddenly saw Sihai's figure and his tone became excited.
Just as he was about to jump, Xu Wenli immediately grabbed him.
"What's wrong, Second Master? You're not going to arrest them again?" Gao Haoming asked with a hint of doubt.
Xu Wenli sighed helplessly, "Can you figure out the situation before you take action?"
After saying that, he raised his chin, gesturing for Gao Haoming to look down.
Si Hai reached out and immediately saw Ah Yue's figure.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Anyang's figure appeared before them.
Gao Haoming said impatiently, "What's going on? Why are there so many people?"
He thought that when there were more people eating, no one would notice the chubby boy, so he would go down and kidnap him.
But A-Yue didn't give him that chance until midday when the sun was at its strongest and the restaurant was packed with customers.
Ah Yue stayed by Si Hai's side the whole time, never leaving his side.
