Everyone was talking and laughing, and at this time, the restaurant began to serve food. The waiter began to serve the dishes one by one, and the old man Wen was very interested, and introduced the origin of these dishes to Xu Yan: "Xiao Xu, you haven't been to the capital before, have you?"

"No, I'm from Shuchuan, and it's the first time I've come to the capital. ”

"In this case, you have to taste this Tan family cuisine -- this Tan family official cuisine, this is our capital's special famous dish, it has a long history, it has been since the Qing Dynasty, and it is famous! When the founding prime minister of the People's Republic of China, he often used this to entertain foreign dignitaries, and many foreign dignitaries spoke highly of this!

Try this, braised shark fin, this shark fin is fresh and tender, other people just can't make this taste. There is also this, roasted sea cucumber with green onions, such a big sea cucumber, it is rare now, and it can be cooked so well and can maintain the taste, this is the Tan family's unique kung fu...... As for this Buddha jumping feet, the level of the Tan family is average, I have eaten a lot of Buddha jumping feet in various places, but to say that the taste is the best, you have to count the food in an unknown small shop in Yangzhou, the meat of the Tan family seems to be too rotten, lost the original flavor...... Come on, you taste this, taste it, eat more...... Young lads, don't be afraid of being fat, it's a blessing to be able to eat, eat more meat, and have the strength to fight against those bad elements!"

Listening to Wen Lao's arrangement, Xu Yan was overwhelmed, what shark fin, sea cucumber, Buddha jumping feet and other delicacies kept stuffing from his mouth - because he didn't eat well at noon, Xu Yan was hungry early, and he felt delicious when he ate these dishes, but how delicious they were, he couldn't say how they tasted, he just felt that the taste was very delicious and delicious.

Seeing that Wen Lao was very interested, at this time, Secretary Qi, who had never spoken, smiled and helped to cheer the audience: "Xiao Xu, today we are blessed by you, everyone is blessed." Today, Wen Lao has arranged a full set of dishes from the Tan family's official mansion - it is still the face of the Cultural Bureau!"

Wen Xiuzhi smiled and waved his hand: "Where, it's not that I have a big face." It's money that has a big face -- now it's the economy and society, and everything is looking at money. In the past, the Tan Family Hotel only received leaders and foreign guests at a certain level, but now. Hehe, as long as you can afford it. ”

As for how much this meal will cost, Wen Xiuzhi didn't say it, and everyone didn't ask, Xu Yan was embarrassed to ask even if he was curious. I'm afraid that people will treat him as a dirt bun.

The dish is high-quality shark fin sea cucumber, and the wine is 20-year-old Moutai, Wen Lao only drank one glass of wine, but let his two sons and the secretary take turns to toast Xu Yan. Fortunately, Xu Yan has achieved success in cultivation, and his physical fitness is much better than ordinary people, no matter how much wine he drinks, as long as he is a little lucky, he will be able to sober up immediately.

Seeing that although Xu Yan drank a little restrained, the amount of alcohol was amazingly good, and those who came did not refuse. Seeing that the four bottles of 20-year-old Moutai entered their stomachs in a blink of an eye, everyone in the Wen family present was slightly surprised - after such four bottles of 20-year-old Moutai, Secretary Rao is Wen, Director Wen's brothers, and Secretary Qi were all good cadres who had been tested by alcohol, and they also felt unbearable. In the end, it was Wen Anran who played the truce card first: "Hehe, Xiao Xu is powerful, the three of us together can't drink him - uh, the young man is amazing, I really don't accept the old man." ”

Wen Xiuzhi was also burping, and his face was flushed. But he was obviously a little excited, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't brag, it's when you were young." You don't have a small amount of alcohol - Brother Yan, I didn't say it, the most popular thing in our troops is to have a good amount of alcohol. If you have this amount of alcohol, even if you don't take care of me, you will have a bright future in the army in the future! If you drink it again, I won't believe it, and I won't be able to compare to you!"

Wen Xiuzhi drank a little uncontrollably, and at this time, Old Man Wen spoke slowly: "Fourth, let's drink, everyone is having fun, why do you have to drink someone down? I see, you have almost drunk tonight, it's time to rest-Xiao Xu too, let's eat slowly, talk slowly." ”

Although Wen Xiuzhi was already slightly smoked, as soon as his father's words came out, he still listened to it very much, and immediately put down his wine glass. At this time, Old Man Wen looked at Xu Yan with a smile: "Xiao Xu has such a good amount of wine, I'm afraid it's the legendary thousand cups are not drunk, right? I'm watching from the side, Xiao Xu alone has drunk at least two bottles of Moutai in the fifties or so, Xiao Xu has such a good amount of wine, I'm afraid there is some mystery in this, right? I heard some knowledgeable people say that the amount of alcohol of the masters of the inner family is generally very good, Xiao Xu is so good, and the amount of wine is also so good, is there a special kung fu in the body?"

After listening to Wen Lao's question, before Xu Yan could answer, Wen Xiuzhi had already rushed to speak: "That's for sure! Dad, brother, you don't know, today, I saw Xiao Xu show his skills with my own eyes." ”

Wen Xiuzhi said, picked up a wine glass and raised it: "Such a teacup is just placed on the table, Brother Yan waved it with his hand, and the cup was cut into two pieces, and it was cut neatly! Daddy, brother, you have to figure it out, it's cut with your bare hands!"

Wen Dexing and his eldest son Wen Anran glanced at each other, Wen Lao nodded, and said slowly: "This is this morning, right? I also heard about it, saying that in front of many people, Xiao Xu's hand didn't touch the cup, so he cut the cup." To be honest, that man is so evil that I will be suspicious!"

Wen Anran also smiled and said: "Fourth, you should be bragging, right? Is it really to cut a cup with your bare hands?

Wen Xiuzhi seemed to have been greatly insulted, and shouted: "Then there are still fakes? There are so many pairs of eyes staring at the scene, and there are also those from the public security and national security, and their eyes are very poisonous - not to mention them, it is not easy to deceive my brother and me." ”

He shouted at Xu Yan: "Brother Yan, the old man and the boss don't believe it very much!

A few bottles of Moutai went down, although Xu Yan was not drunk, but he was also red and hot, and he was excited, as soon as he heard Wen Xiuzhi's words, he agreed without thinking: "Okay!"

Because of the influence of alcohol, Xu Yan's head was a little hot, and he actually forgot the identity of the person in front of him, he smiled and said to Wen Anran: "Secretary Wen, can you borrow the cup in your hand?" Then, without waiting for Wen Anran to answer, he had already taken the cup in Wen Anran's hand in one hand and put it on the table. You're in good hands~"

Wen Anran frowned slightly, he also had two points of alcohol, but after all, he was a city that had been trained in the sea for many years, and his demeanor could still remain reserved. Although he was a little unimpressed by Xu Yan's frivolity, he still smiled and said, "Is Xiao Xu going to perform? Then I have to open my eyes and take a look!"

Xu Yan smiled "haha" and gestured in front of the cup with his hand, Wen Anran and Wen Lao both had blazing eyes and could see clearly. Xu Yan's hand clearly didn't touch the cup, and his fingertips were still half a meter away from the cup!

The cup was still resting on the table, not moving.

After half a ring, Wen Anran, Secretary Qi and Wen Lao glanced at each other, but they couldn't see anything unusual. Xu Yan smiled and clasped his hands to his chest without speaking, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little weird. However, Wen Xiuzhi had passed through it once, and he was more experienced, so he came over with a smile and asked, "Brother Yan." But it's already ...... Okay?"

Xu Yan smiled and didn't say anything, just nodded reservedly, Wen Xiuzhi smiled "haha", that look, as if he was more proud than he made it himself, he learned the style of the magic star on TV, and shouted: "Audience, now is the time to witness the miracle!

Wen Dexing smiled and shook his head: "You hairy boy, you are about to become a general." It's still not a big one!"

The atmosphere tonight is very good, seeing his naughty little son being funny over there, Old Man Wen is also very funny, he stood up and walked over quickly. After looking at the cup for a while, he raised his head and looked at Xu Yan thoughtfully: "Xiao Xu, do you want to tell me that this cup is still intact on the surface." But you've actually cut it in half, right?"

In the face of Wen Xiuzhi and Wen Anran, Xu Yan still dared to be arrogant, but in the face of Wen Lao, perhaps because of the other party's age and seniority, or because of the other party's temperament of not being angry and threatening, Xu Yan really didn't dare to be presumptuous.

"Old Wen, your eyes are like electricity, and you are like a god, you are really right. ”

Wen Dexing said "hey", he reached out and grabbed the wine glass. I only heard a soft sound of "pop", the cup broke into two from the middle, and half a glass of wine in the cup also flowed out, but Wen Lao had already prepared and grabbed the cup steadily.

"Oh~" A few exclamations sounded at the table, but it was the exclamation of Wen Anran and Secretary Qi.

Because of the previous rumors, everyone was mentally prepared, so everyone was not too surprised by the amazing miracle Xu Yan made, and the neatly cut cup was revealed in everyone's hands, and everyone was amazed.

"Breathtaking!" Touching the smooth incision of the cup, Wen Lao said with emotion: "Xiao Xu's kung fu can be said to be miraculous." Xiao Xu, what kind of kung fu is your hand?"

was asked by Wen Lao, Xu Yan really didn't know how to answer well. He replied vaguely: "I don't know what kind of kung fu I am, my kung fu was taught by an old man I met when I was a child." He told me that his kung fu was the kung fu of the Holy Sword Gate, but I was too young to understand these at that time, so I didn't ask him in detail. ”

"Oh," Wen Lao and his two sons glanced at each other, Wen Anran and Wen Xiuzhi both shook their heads silently, indicating that they had not heard of the so-called "Holy Sword Gate", so Wen Lao began to faintly guess in his heart, could it be that this little unwilling to reveal the true situation of his martial arts, so he made up a so-called "Holy Sword Gate" to fool himself?

Wen Dexing smiled kindly: "Holy Sword Gate, this name sounds so magnificent, it seems that the old gentleman who taught you the skills, his origin is not simple! What is his name, do you know?"

Xu Yan shook his head and repeated the sentence again: "I only know that the master's surname is Zhu ...... At that time, I was still young, and I didn't know much about things, and I didn't ask much about the origin of the master. However, I think the master's style of speech is quite ancient, like an old-school character. ”

Wen Dexing groaned slightly, and he asked, "So, Xiao Xu, are all your skills, your kung fu, and your ability to treat people, all taught to you by your master?"

Xu Yan replied vaguely: "Most of them!"

"Then, are you still in touch with your master?"

"When I was 10 years old, about the third grade of elementary school, my master left me, saying that he was going to travel to famous mountains and rivers. He didn't leave me any contact information, he only said, 'When the time comes, I will naturally come back to meet you', but after so many years, he hasn't come back, and he hasn't asked anyone to bring me back news, and I don't even know if he's dead or alive now. ”

Listening to Xu Yan's answer, the Wen brothers glanced at each other. They exchanged glances with each other, and they both saw a strong smell of suspicion in each other's eyes - Xu Yan's story was too suspenseful, and the mysterious old man with a unique skill who came and disappeared without a trace. This is a legend in the martial arts story. But it's not like something that would happen in real life.

Especially for an intelligence officer like Wen Xiuzhi, in his eyes, there are too many flaws in Xu Yan's words. That kind of lonely fairy character can only appear in legendary novels, but it cannot happen in real reality. Alone. He always has to dress and eat, he always has to have a place to live, and he has to go to the hospital when he is sick -- as long as he lives in reality, he will inevitably come into contact with the people and things around him, and as long as these contacts occur, they will inevitably leave traces and impressions, and the people around him will certainly remember them. He also has to pay for the rent with the landlord - so the person Xu Yan said who lives in seclusion and has no connection with the world cannot exist at all.

Wen Xiuzhi knew, but he didn't expose Xu Yan's lies - as a mature adult, he also understood that Xu Yan was unwilling to reveal his teacher's origins, and as a friend, he should be tolerant.

Moreover, Wen Xiuzhi also believes that his father. The weathered old man Wen should understand this truth better.

Sure enough, the smile on Old Man Wen's face was still there, and he sighed: "Ah." Xiao Xu, you can't contact your master?

That's really a pity, to be able to teach such an outstanding and excellent disciple as you, your Master Zhu should also be a very great figure, the so-called masters are always among the people! But it seems. You can also be regarded as having the true inheritance of Master Zhu, not only are you good, but also your medical skills are so clever, and you can be called a double master!"

Hearing that Old Man Wen talked about his own medical skills, Xu Yan guessed that the other party should have something special to say to him, and he said politely and humbly: "Old Man Wen, you have won the award, and the younger generation is really ashamed." The master's mastery is as vast as a sea of smoke, and I have only learned one percent of his skills, and I can't afford your praise. ”

"Hehe, Xiao Xu, you are too modest, too modest, that is pride. It's a good thing that you have a masterpiece, but forgive my old man for saying that sometimes, if you do a good deed, it may not be a good thing. ”

Xu Yan looked at the other party puzzled: "Old Man Wen, forgive me for being stupid, I really don't understand your words." ”

Old Man Wen smiled and said nothing, and when Xu Yan was confused, Secretary Qi coughed dryly: "Xiao Xu, the old chief is pointing you out, what he means is that you are kind by nature, helpful, and have unique skills, which is naturally a good thing." However, in today's society, human nature is complicated! People in society are not all simple and kind. You have helped people and saved people, but people may not be grateful to you, and they will even take revenge on you, this kind of thing is possible. ”

Xu Yan was surprised: "No, right? I saved him, but the other party wants to take revenge? This is impossible, right!?"

Secretary Qi said with a smile: "How is it impossible, in today's society, is there still less such things? Don't you read the newspaper, don't you often have such news in the newspaper, saying that it was someone who helped the old man and old lady who fell on the side of the road, and as a result, he was falsely accused, insisting that he hit it, and asked him to pay how much money, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, this kind of thing, now there are too many such things!"

Xu Yan nodded: "I often see this kind of news...... However, what I do is to cure the sick and save people, which is still different from helping the old man and the old lady, right?"

Secretary Qi smiled again: "It's really a little different...... You're even more dangerous!"

Xu Yan was shocked: "Ah, how could that be?"

"Let me tell you this, Xiao Xu you have high ability, maybe you have saved a lot of people, but tigers also have a nap, right? People have misses, horses have stumbled, even the elixir is good, it is inevitable that there will be one or two ineffective, right? Xiao Xu If you treat many people, in case of bad luck, you miss once......

At that time, it will be impossible for the family members of the deceased to let you go, and they will say that you treated the patient to death -- oh, I remember, you are not qualified to practice medicine, right? Then it will be even more troublesome, and if the other party catches this article and sues you, saying that you practiced medicine without a license and caused death, then you will probably have to bear criminal responsibility and go to jail -- of course, I am just an analogy, you are a subordinate of the director of the cultural bureau, and it is certainly impossible for you to really go to prison. I just want to say, Xiao Xu, you are still young, many times, this world is not as you imagined, good intentions will definitely be rewarded. ”

Xu Yan thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Secretary Qi, what you said, I understand, when I save people and treat diseases in the future, I will do what I can." I will not admit those patients that I am not sure will be cured, so you can rest assured. ”

Listening to Xu Yan's words, Wen Lao smiled wryly, he glanced at Wen Xiuzhi and Wen Anran, and saw the faint embarrassment in everyone's eyes-the next words are really unspeakable! )
