"But, only the one I met today and I couldn't catch up with. I only remember his great kindness, but never had the chance to repay one or two."

Mr. Guo looked a little sad, and he took another sip of wine.

"I have also inquired about it over the years, but I have nothing to do. Now that Japan comes to see him, I am very happy to find it, but I can't catch up at all. I don't know if I will meet him next time."

The housekeeper next to him comforted:

"Don't worry if you can meet this time, there will definitely be a chance next time."

Guo Yuanwai shook his head and didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that according to the question the man in white asked him, he would not be an ordinary person. After all, the white-haired monkey wearing clothes was not an ordinary person no matter how he looked at it. People who could track down such things... might be difficult to see again.

So he became even more upset and simply drank the wine in his glass.

The wine is a bad wine mixed with water, but the taste is quite strong, and Mr. Guo grinned so spicy.

Then he refused to pour wine for himself by the butler, picked up the wine pot and poured it into the wine glass, half narrating and half talking to himself:

"The wine here is not good, and it is mixed with water. I have always known it, but I still like to drink it. The store didn't add water to it at the beginning, but I didn't like it yet, so I asked them to change it to their usual appearance."

"I have barely achieved success now. I have drunk a lot of good wines over the years, but my favorite is this inferior wine mixed with water. I no longer need to care about other people's opinions over the years, so when I invite others, no matter what kind of delicacies the dishes are, I will also be served with this wine during the meal, and you know it."

The housekeeper nodded beside him and smiled:

"At first, someone said something strange in secret, but later as your family business became more and more prosperous, no one mentioned that anymore. But now, many people have begun to pursue and imitate, and have given this kind of wine a name called Liquan Shao. This restaurant has become much more popular because of the company."

Mr. Guo and the butler clashed with the glass, and drank another glass of poor wine mixed with water.

The taste of this wine is not mellow and is diluted a lot after being mixed with water, but the taste is quite turbulent and it is fast. He is now a little drunk.

Seeing the two young hired workers carrying slide rods having fun eating noodles, the housekeeper next to them also started to move chopsticks on the opposite bowl. Mr. Guo put down the wine glass, stretched out the chopsticks and carried the meat into his noodle bowl, and then swung his cheeks and chewed them. This looked completely different from the wealthy and nobleman, and even more bold than the two hired workers in front of him.

The wind blew the clouds and quickly cleared the noodle bowl. Guo Yuanwai pushed the bowl to the side, picked up the wine glass again, and then said to the butler next to him:

"I haven't told you before, why do you think I don't like eating dumplings?"

The housekeeper has always had doubts about this issue. Mr. Guo, the master, usually has a very good appetite and is not picky about food, but he just doesn't like eating dumplings. Even the dumplings during the New Year are just a little bite. However, he adheres to his professional ethics and never asks them too much. Now, when he hears the official website mentioning them, he immediately raises his ears and listens more carefully.

Guo Yuanwai said: "Actually, I used to like eating dumplings very much. I thought about it every day, but my family couldn't eat it. So my biggest idea at that time was to save money to run a small stall, and I could eat dumplings every meal. Later, I could really eat dumplings every meal. Even after eating for more than half a year, I was injured. In the past, how could I think it would be true? Alas..."

After Fang Chang came out of Zhao Chenghuang, he continued to go northwest, walking day and sleeping overnight. Then, about a hundred miles away from the sea, he turned north along the official road.

As the distance of walking becomes longer, the climate changes slightly from Ninghe Prefecture, but the most obvious one is the terrain. The land here is very flat and looks very open from a distance, making people feel confused. He once saw a miscellaneous book saying that for people, the terrain of the place where they live since childhood can determine the personality of the people here to some extent. This view has not been verified, and Fang Chang is not ready to verify it, but he still thinks this is a very interesting statement.

In addition to the accent, the food and architecture here are really affected by the terrain here, and have characteristics that are not available in mountainous and hilly areas.

"Mr. Fang!!"

Walking on the street, Fang Chang was suddenly stopped.

In fact, he found the visitor half an hour ago and also knew the other party's identity. However, he did not take the initiative to look for it, but passed through the small town according to his established route. Now seeing that the other party met and recognized him at this position as expected before, Fang Chang stood still and waited with a smile.

The person who came was Chen Yuan, who had not seen him for a long time. When he saw Fang Changhou, he was as happy as ever, and quickly came up: "Mr. Fang! It's so much for more than ten years that he left."

Chen Yuan looked much more steady, and he was very experienced in his words. He was no longer the young and impulsive waiter in Huaifeng Mansion back then, but his eyes were still as pure as they were back then.

After looking at the bottom, he asked curiously: "So many years have passed, your appearance has not changed at all?"

Fang Chang did not answer this question, but smiled and said, "Did you settle down here?"

Chen Yuan was coming back from the market, carrying a few paper bags tied with hemp ropes. Seeing that the shape was like paper and pen inside, he nodded and said:

"Mr. Fang said it very accurately. Over the years, I have traveled to many places in the world, accumulated many manuscripts, and sent them to my friends. I have been preparing to repair it for two years, and I happened to reorganize the manuscripts. My friend, my family, moved here two years ago, so I came to find him. Seeing that the environment and climate here are very pleasant, I simply bought a house to live in."

Then, Chen Yuan warmly invited Fang Chang to his place to sit and take a look at the manuscript he compiled.

Fang Chang was indeed interested in this, so he followed Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan told Fang Chang that this time he came out because he didn't have enough paper to sort out, so he came to buy it and prepared a pen by the way, because the pen was too fast to grind. He is now very talkative and very knowledgeable about the scenery. Even when he walks on the road, he can point to the things next to him like a tour guide and tell many stories.

On the way from here to Chen Yuan's residence, there were quite a few gentle and kind people greeting him. It sounded like Chen Yuan is now well-known and famous, and has made many friends in this small town. Chen Yuan and his friends' residence were not in the city, and they both left the city until they were almost outside the city.

There is a courtyard on the side of the road, which is quite large and is made of good blue bricks. There is also a stone corridor at the entrance to the avenue. However, this is not Chen Yuan’s residence. The two walked onto the corridor, then turned left in the middle and walked to a small courtyard. Chen Yuan took out the key and opened the gate.
