Richard looked at the tavern owner with interest, and saw that the other party was about forty years old, with a swollen belly, and was not very tall, like an oak barrel. However, the horizontal flesh on the other party's face, thick arms, and thick calluses on the palms of the hands all show that the other party is not easy to mess with.

At this time, the other party was wearing a washed white shirt that was somewhat yellowed, tied with a pair of ephedra, and stood behind the counter with a calm face and wiped the cup. It is difficult to ignore a capable temperament on his body, which makes people can't help but think of characters such as "The Murderer Who Washes His Hands in a Golden Basin", which is obviously why he can calm people.

Richard walked over and walked to the front of the counter, and the tavern owner glanced up and said in a somewhat lazy tone, "Two guests, are you from out of town?"

"Why do you say that?" asked Richard.

"Because the boots you're wearing are obviously not home-made. It's humid all year round, and the soles of your boots are relatively high, while yours are very shallow. The tavern keeper said.

Before Richard could show anything, Popopol Vicch on the side couldn't help but turn his head to look at the feet of the rest of the diners in the tavern, and when he found that this was indeed the case, he looked at the tavern owner with some appreciation.

The tavern owner didn't have a smug look on his face, but said with a normal expression: "Since you two are from other places, you may not be used to eating some special dishes, I recommend some more common dishes to you, such as milk mushroom soup, pan-fried veal steak, jam white bread and the like." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but we'd like to order some specials. "Remember, let's order a rotten quail roast chicken, a black blood clot beef stew, a salted stinky bean, two turmeric breads, ......."

Originally, the tavern owner had a very calm expression on his face, but after hearing Richard talk about the fourth food, he suddenly glanced at Richard in a little surprise, and his brows furrowed, not very sure.

Richard continued: "A lamb chop with sprouts, a white egg soup with black mushrooms, and a toe rum. ”

After listening to Richard's words, the tavern owner opened his mouth wide, looked at Richard deeply, and became a little respectful. However, he didn't make too outrageous movements, just whispered: "Wait a minute, I'll go and tell the kitchen." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and walked out of the counter and into the back kitchen.

After about a dozen seconds, the tavernkeeper walked back with a sharp steel fork that shimmered coldly.

The steel fork has only two teeth, is "U" shaped, and is specifically designed for hunting. Because a two-toothed steel fork is easier to pierce into the body of some beasts than a three-toothed steel fork.

The tavernkeeper came out with the steel fork, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern, most of whom cast curious glances to see what the tavernkeeper was going to do. Others have their eyes on Richard and Popobol Vicch, a bit of a playful one. They were all regular customers, and it seemed to them that Richard and Pobobo Vicch had angered the grumpy tavernkeeper for not knowing what was going on, so the tavernkeeper took out a steel fork and prepared to teach them a lesson.

Who knew that the tavern owner grabbed the steel fork and slammed it into the countertop with a "bang". The two teeth of the steel fork sink directly below the countertop, and the wooden handle vibrates in mid-air, making a "buzzing" sound.

Everyone was stunned.

The tavernkeeper's eyes swept over all the guests seated with a cold gaze, and announced without any emotion: "The tavern closes early today, please leave immediately." If you don't want to, you can come to the counter and I'll have a good talk with him. ”

Everyone looked at the tavernkeeper, and then at the steel fork on the counter that was still shaking. Just hesitated for less than a second, then stood up in unison, walked out without hesitation, and walked away in an instant.

After all, they really didn't dare to provoke the grumpy tavernkeeper.

On the other hand, since they closed early and didn't charge money to drive them away, they seemed to be making a bargain by leaving like this, so why not do it?

In this way, the only three men left in the tavern, Richard and Popobo Vic, and the steel fork that was still vibrating on the counter.

The tavernkeeper pulled out the steel fork with a slight effort with both hands, dropped it at his feet, and walked out of the counter with a look of awe. Looking at Richard and Pobobo Vicch, he said, "These two are adults from the west, my lord has already told me that you will come, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

Please take a break, and I will inform my family to come immediately. If the other two have anything to eat, you can also tell me, and I'll let the kitchen prepare it. ”

"It's normal, just prepare a little bit. Richard listened and told the tavern owner that he didn't order any more specialties, which in his opinion might really be too special.

The tavern owner listened, nodded and left.

"Wait!"

At this time, Popobo Vich called out to the other party.

"Do you have any other orders, my lord?" asked the tavernkeeper, looking at Pobopol Vic.

"That ......," Popobo Vic said, rubbing his hands, "I'd like to try the toe rum I ordered earlier, if I can." ”

"Toe rum, really?" the tavernkeeper confirmed. Toe rum was Richard's last specialty before, but that was only part of the code, and now it's really ordered, which makes the boss can't help but be surprised.

"Hmm. Pobovich nodded, "I've heard about this wine a long time ago, and it's said to taste good, so I want to taste what it tastes like." ”

"Alright—" The tavernkeeper said in a long tone, looking a little hesitant, but he didn't dare to refuse Pobovich, so he agreed and walked to the back kitchen.

After about half an hour, the tavern keeper returned, and while bringing all kinds of food to the table where Richard and Popov Vicch were sitting, he said, "Two adults, I have informed my family, and it will be there soon, so please wait a moment." ”

"Well, good. Richard and Pobobo Vicch nodded.

Then the tavern keeper carefully brought a wine glass with a golden liquor in it, and brought it to Pobovich, and said, "My lord, this is the toe rum you want." Before you drink, I want to talk to you......"

"It looks really good. Pobobo Vicky said, interrupting the tavernkeeper, and before the other party could say the second half of the sentence, he had already picked it up and took a sip.

"Tsk!"

Pobobo Vicky tasted it carefully and commented loudly: "Well, the taste is really good, a little refreshing, and it is very different from what I drank in Jialan City." ”

At the end of the evaluation, Popbo Vic looked at the tavern owner and asked, "By the way, what were you going to remind me just now?"

"Well, it's actually nothing, please enjoy it, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." The tavern owner said, turning his head and leaving, as if something bad would happen if he stayed.

Popobo Vicky glanced strangely at the back of the tavernkeeper, not very concerned, and took another sip of rum, showing admiration.
