You Got Drunk After Two Sniffs. You Can't Drink for s.h.i.+t
The flower lanterns ascended to the sky, while the shadow of the moon obscured things.
Our small team of three strolled along a four way intersection towards the South of the capital.
Dong Po Restaurant is to the East of the capital, and the Eight Deities Tavern is to the West of the capital. But because of Su Xiao's objections, we ended up going to the f.u.c.ked up South of the capital.
I insisted on eating braised pork shoulders with soy sauce, but Su Xiao would rather die than agree. We argued for-and-against back-and-forth but couldn't reach a conclusion. In the end, we didn't go to Dong Po Restaurant or the Eight Deities Tavern, instead, we went to the third place I recommended.
This place is a relatively secluded unlike big restaurants like the Eight Deities Tavern or Dong Po Restaurant. This place is just a small restaurant. The interior decorations and furniture are relatively plain. In fact, the tables and chairs are somewhat dirty. The weather today is perfect for an outing but this place is dead as usual.
People who haven't been here before probably don't know its good points, but I can attest that this place has great dishes.
This place has a special name: Years like Blades.
"Stop!" Su Xiao suddenly had a thought that there was more to the name and asked: "Years like Blades? What blades?"
I laughed smugly and said: "Hmph, ask them yourself."
The shopkeeper across from us heard Su Xiao's question, snorted and said: "Sui Yue* is the name of a knife used to butcher pigs!"
Su Xiao couldn't believe his ears. He looked at me and asked: "We've come all the way to the South and you still managed find a place to eat braised pork shoulders with soy sauce?!"
I glared at him and retorted: "Don't c.r.a.p out of your mouth. There's no braised pork shoulder with soy sauce here! There's only braised pork feet here!"
"Isn't that the same thing?!"
WHAT?! How dare you, you ignorant punk! How dare you insult braised pork shoulders with soy sauce and braised pork feet!
Tang Ye ignored us and sat down first: "I'm covering the drinks, and Su Xiao's covering the food, correct?"
"Mixed pork feet flowers, Dong Po pork shoulders, gold pork cheeks, spicy pig waists… Why is everything pork?!" Su Xiao looked at me with contempt and said: "I want something light!"
"Eat this then." I chucked him the cuc.u.mber in my hand that I'd eaten half of.
Su Xiao went red in the face. He threw it back at me and said: "What are you trying to imply by giving me this?! You're the one that's a sulking lady! I'm a man!"
s.h.i.+t! You're quite knowledgeable, young man!
I see that you're very dirty-minded!
"Waiter! I want this, this, this, and this…" I ignored him and ordered a whole series of dishes I'd wanted to eat for a long time but couldn't of my thin wallet.
"Brother Ming! You're not allowed to order so much pork shoulders! Waiter, give him a bowl of soup, a small plate of vegetables… Actually, peanuts will do."
"Are you feeding a chicken?!"
Tang Ye ordered his wine while we weren't paying attention. He's usually quiet and says very little. I wonder how he holds his liquor. I think I detected a hint of discomfort on the shopkeeper's face as though the restaurant was in a chaotic mess.
I quickly asked the waiter what he ordered. When he told me what he ordered, I almost spat the cuc.u.mber in my mouth out.
