The Beijing branch of Shifulou is not far from the entrance of Jingshi University, and the decoration style is the same as the old store in Huai'an Mansion, but it is obviously more atmospheric and stable, as if it has been contaminated with the wealth and grace of the capital by following the customs of the countryside. On the lintel hangs the plaque of "Blessing Building", Jiang Shuiyuan does not know calligraphy, and also feels that these words are written with silver hook iron painting, pleasing to the eye.

Qiao Yinuo saw that Jiang Shuiyuan was looking at the plaque, and took the initiative to introduce: "This plaque is inscribed by Professor Liu Seqing, our famous scholar and famous calligrapher, and it is very well written, right? It is rumored that Professor Liu has always been self-exalted, and rarely gives people inscriptions, and he doesn't know what the origin of this shop is, so he can actually ask Professor Liu to splash ink." ”

Jiang Shuiyuan said in his heart: What can be the origin? It is nothing more than to ask the old man Han Xianru to come forward!

Qiao Yinuo continued: "You should be familiar with the couplets on the pillars, right? When it first opened, many people saw that the store was full of couplets of Jiang Shuiyuan's collection of sentences, which widely involved the subset of scriptures and history, Tang and Song poems, and they thought that this Jiang someone was a hidden senior scholar and couplet. I wonder what they would think if they knew that the author was you, the little carrot head?"

Jiang Shuiyuan corrected very seriously: "I am not the author, I am just a porter of ancient poems." ”

Qiao Yinuo chuckled and said: "Let's chat, not to present evidence in court, why are you so rigorous? What's more, I heard my grandfather say that the couplet not only tests talent, but also requires a large amount of knowledge, and the difficulty is better than writing couplets by yourself. Therefore, you are not a porter of ancient poetry, but a high-IQ masterpiece!"

Jiang Shuiyuan shrugged: "It's not as difficult as you think, at least, it's not much more difficult than plant taxonomy." ”

Qiao Yinuo remembered that the first prize winner of the National Biology Olympiad in front of him was: "Hey, you give me a little moderation! If you are so modest again, I will suspect that you are changing your ways!"

"......" Jiang Shuiyuan had no choice but to remain silent.

Seeing that he had successfully defeated Jiang Shuiyuan, who was eloquent, Qiao Yinuo was secretly proud in his heart and took the lead in entering the store. At this time, it was the time of the meal, and the Shifu Building was a restaurant that had recently caught fire, and the lobby was bustling with people, and the people waiting in line for seats had already reached the fifty or sixty. Fortunately, Qiao Yinuo had the foresight to book a seat in advance, otherwise it is really uncertain whether this meal will be eaten or not.

After sitting down, the waiter skillfully wiped the table and asked politely, "Two, what are you going to do?"

"You're familiar, you can have something!" Qiao Yinuo pushed the recipe in front of Jiang Shuiyuan.

Later, there was an exam, and Jiang Shuiyuan did not pretentiously push three and let four, and directly said: "Please have a copy of the soft long fish, chicken porridge and vegetables, and chicken head rice and green beans!"

"Sir is a connoisseur!" the waiter complimented heartily, and his attitude became more polite.

Qiao Yinuo was a little curious: "Why do you say that?"

The waiter said: "The dishes of our blessing building belong to Huaiyang cuisine, but specifically, they belong to Huai'an cuisine under Huaiyang cuisine, which has its own unique flavor. Generally, customers come to eat, are to order lion head, boiled dried shreds, oil eel paste, crystal shrimp and other dishes, famous of course, authentic is also authentic, but it belongs to the road goods, many Huaiyang restaurants can do, and it is not our characteristics. But this gentleman ordered soft and long fish instead of fried eel paste, and chicken head rice and green beans instead of crystal shrimp, these are our Huai'an cuisine's forte. In particular, the chicken porridge and pu cai are the top products in the Huaiyang feast, which is complex to make and delicious, and ordinary diners in Beijing do not know at all, let alone order it. Seeing that this gentleman ordered these three dishes with ease, he knew that he was a connoisseur!"

Qiao Yinuo gave a thumbs up to the water source of the river: "Serve! I really convince you! You are all experts in eating, what else in this world you can't do?"

"There are a lot of them, like I don't have children. Jiang Shuiyuan made a little joke, and then explained: "Actually, it's because I've eaten a few times at their Huai'an main store, so I know a little bit about it." ”

"It seems that there is really a connoisseur today, and I will take care of the kitchen later, so that they can take care of you properly!" The waiter asked again, "What is the main food?"

Jiang Shuiyuan said: "The staple food is Yangchun noodles! The key is to be fast, we still have something to do when we turn back." ”

"Please!" replied the waiter dryly.

After the waiter went down, Jiang Shuiyuan and Qiao Yinuo chatted while serving the food. Who knew that the dish did not wait, but waited for an acquaintance, and greeted him from afar: "Oh, isn't this Brother Jiang? I haven't seen him for several months in the blink of an eye, and his demeanor is even better than before! Just now, a waiter told the back kitchen that there was a handsome little guy who was proficient in food, who did I think, but it was Brother Jiang who came." ”

Jiang Shuiyuan hurriedly stood up: "Senior Brother Jiusi is good!"

Wu Jiusi's eloquence was obviously much stronger than before, and his speech was as abrupt as a machine gun: "Anyway, when did you come to the capital? Why didn't you say hello when you came? If this is known to the master and his old man, and I didn't entertain you well when you came, he won't scold me to death!"

Jiang Shuiyuan smiled awkwardly: "I just arrived this morning. I didn't know that Senior Brother Jiusi's shop was here, this Senior Sister Qiao Yinuo said that she wanted to have a treat, and I followed me to eat. ”

"Do you know where my shop is in the future, but remember to come often, otherwise I'm afraid that I will be embarrassed to go to see the master and his old man during the New Year's holidays!" Wu Jiusi said and patted Jiang Shuiyuan's shoulder heavily: "How can I say that I am also the senior brother of that little girl in Xiaoxiang!"

"I know. Thank you!" Jiang Shuiyuan said he understood what he meant.

Wu Jiusi nodded: "It's good to know." By the way, it just so happened that Professor Yanagi Aoyanagi of Jingsei University was also having dinner in the private room upstairs, and when I went to see him just now, he also mentioned you. How about you go and have a visit?"

Jiang Shuiyuan instinctively wanted to refuse, because he was attending a study class first, and now he went to visit the teacher of Jingshi University, he always felt a little suspicious; Just when he hesitated, Qiao Yinuo cheered and said happily on the side: "Grandpa Liu is also there, then let's go see him!"

Jiang Shuiyuan's eyes widened: "Do you know Professor Liu?"

"Of course! Grandpa Liu, my grandfather, and Grandpa Ji have been friends for decades, and since I arrived at Jingshi University, I have been taken care of by Grandpa Liu, and I will go to his house for a few meals every semester. Do you think I recognize it?" Qiao Yinuo pulled Jiang Shuiyuan's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go fight Grandpa Liu's autumn wind!"

Jiang Shuiyuan thought for a while: "It's okay! I heard that Professor Liu has helped a lot with my escort qualification, so I just met to thank him!"

Wu Jiusi led the way in front, and the three of them came to the "Caoyun Hall" on the second floor, and after entering the room, they saw a white-bearded old gentleman sitting on the main seat, combing his big back, in good spirits, full of red light, and talking and laughing with everyone at the same table. Glancing around the others, there are forty or fifty years old, and some are in their early twenties, most of the river sources don't know each other, but the back of the door is familiar.

"Yan Shutong?" Qiao Yinuo saw the one sitting at the door, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

Jiang Shuiyuan sighed and said: Sure enough, the road is narrow!
