I'm not a pet

Chapter 289 The Second NPC
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

"What do you mean?" Lu Yunchu immediately asked after hearing Shopkeeper Qin's emotion.

Shopkeeper Qin looked at him in a daze, wondering if the boss had doubts about what he said.

"You just said that Granny Jiu's face hasn't changed for more than 40 years?" Lu Yunchu pointed out the main point.

"Exactly." Asked by Lu Yunchu, shopkeeper Qin couldn't help being puzzled again.

In fact, when he saw Granny Jiu yesterday, he thought excitedly that the person in front of him was a descendant of Granny Jiu.

But thinking about the old woman who was in her 50s back then, and had no children, where did her descendants come from?The most important thing is that even her descendants have the same appearance as the wine mother back then.

When he called out "grandmother wine" in confusion yesterday, she did not deny it.It can be seen that she is the old wine mother-in-law!
If you really count the age, the wine mother-in-law was in her 50s. Now that more than 40 years have passed, isn't she an old man who is nearly a hundred years old?

But not only does she not have the old face of a centenarian, but she is also full of mental strength, at least she can compete with the boss for a drink...

Next time, if you meet Granny Jiu again, you must ask her for some magic recipes to keep your face beautiful and youthful forever...

What Lu Yunchu thought was not as simple as shopkeeper Qin.

After ordering Shopkeeper Qin to go to work, he summed up the information he had just learned and the contact with Granny Jiu in the past two days.

The wine mother-in-law is happy to help her neighbors, and she is not a wicked person;
Good at medical science and pharmacology, and has a lot of research on poison making;
The fact that she brewed wine many years ago and robbed him of wine this time is because she is looking for or pursuing a unique wine or wine that has special meaning to her;
As for the face that has not changed for more than 40 years...

Thinking of this, another figure appeared in his mind.

From his girl's memoir, he knew that she had turned into a human form to see Mei Shan. He already knew very clearly in her memory the conversation she had with Mei Shan and the blood she gave to Mei Shan.

Mei Shan, one of the guardians of the demon king back then, was already over a thousand years old, but he still had an ageless face of 27 or [-] years old.

Back then, Meishan didn't show the mountains or dew the water, and with just a light spell of the Holy Word, he turned the big fireball that attacked his face into ashes. With such profound magic power, I am afraid that there is no one else in the Mafa Continent... Uh, Perhaps his girl was an exception.

In this way, is Grandma Jiu, like Meishan, immortal in appearance due to her profound magic power?

But during his contact with Granny Jiu in the past two days, he did not find any profound mana fluctuations in her body, unless her mana was so advanced that he couldn't detect it, just like he couldn't detect Meishan that day.

But thinking about it again, it seemed unreasonable. I thought that the wine mother-in-law was so eager to taste his wine. If she had profound magic power, why didn't she subdue him with magic power, but just poisoned him?

Of course, he also thought of another possibility.

That is, what Grandma Ruojiu showed to others was never her true face?For example, Yi Rong...

Thinking of this, Lu Yunchu didn't think about it anymore.He picked up the wine cup again, took a sip of the drunken cherry blossoms, and then turned his gaze to the cherry blossom trees outside the window.

As Xiaoli's father, he needs to ensure that he grows up safely; as the owner of Ruyixuan, he needs to ensure that the staff of Ruyixuan have no worries about food and clothing, and the diners have no worries about eating.

As long as that wine mother-in-law doesn't mess around in his territory, he doesn't mind testing poison for her every day.

Maybe... after learning about Granny Jiu's background, I seem to be willing to share some drunk cherry blossoms with her, but only a little...

Now he just needs to watch the tree bloom quietly, waiting for his girl to return.

As for those past grievances, when his girl returns, he will do whatever she wants...

……

Outside the Ruyi Pavilion, Baozhu was basking in the warm afternoon sun, looking at everything lazily.

Before dawn, she saw Lu Yunchu walk into the Wuji Steamed Bun Shop that had just lit candles.

About an hour later, he walked into Ruyi Pavilion with several steaming steamers in his hands.

Coincidentally, at that time, the staff of Ruyi Xuan also went to work one after another. Lu Yunchu, who was guarding the hall of Ruyi Xuan, actually asked every staff who entered the door to take out two steamed buns from the steamer and eat them.

She heard those guys call him "boss", and saw the painful eyes of those guys struggling while eating steamed buns...

What surprised her was that Ruyixuan changed hands?Boss Hua quit?
During the quiet conversation among the guys, she realized that Lu Yunchu made those steamed buns.

Lu Yunchu still has this trick?Wasn't he a cooking idiot before?

So did I enter the wrong script?Who will tell her?

It wasn't until noon that she was sure that she hadn't entered the wrong script...

She saw Lu Yunchu coming out with the small wine jar, and also saw and heard everything between Granny Jiu and him.

In the process, she learned that the wine jar contained drunken cherry blossoms.

The only one in Mafa Continent that can brew drunken cherry blossoms is Ruyixuan, which is the recipe she left behind.Based on this, she was sure that she did not enter the wrong game into the wrong script.

It's just that Lu Yunchu seems to be too stingy!

They are all the bosses of Ruyixuan, and they are even stingy in not giving drinks to the diners.

Although drunken cherry blossoms are rare and precious due to the special materials used to make them, since Ruyixuan is open for business, how can it refuse customers like this?
In the future, if there is a chance, I really have to educate him, such a single-minded business will drive away all the customers sooner or later.

For some reason, even though the wine mother-in-law poisoned Lu Yunchu, Baozhu didn't think she was hateful, anyway, he already had half of the blue spirit grass in his body, the poison would not kill him...

Even after hearing the narration between shopkeeper Qin and Lu Yunchu, she felt that Lu Yunchu was a little too petty.

Etc., etc!
Wine mother-in-law?
Why is this name so familiar, she seems to have seen or heard it somewhere.

In the south of Luohua City, they run a small inn...

I remembered!

The moment Baozhu thought of Grandma Jiu's background, she felt excited all over her body, so excited that the leaves all over the tree couldn't help shaking and trembling.

In the game, Granny Jiu is an NPC in a small inn in the south of Luohua City, an NPC who specially releases missions for gamers in Luohua City!

Therefore, Grandma Jiu, like Mei Shan, is a character that already exists in the game!Wine Granny is the second NPC she meets.

Thinking of this, she became even more excited and excited. Granny Jiu must have important information or clues about the tasks she needs to complete when she crosses into the game!

The leaves danced violently again, she was so excited that she wished she could find Granny Jiu immediately and ask her about the next task.

However, the "rustling" sound from the leaves reminded her that she is now just a tree that cannot walk or speak...

Through the window, Lu Yunchu looked at the cherry blossom tree again. Why would the leaves dance violently in the windless street?
Why did he seem to feel the excitement coming from his girl?
