Baiyan Restaurant has a total of three floors, and the decoration is antique. The first floor is an open dining room with more than 200 dining tables, the second floor is a private room, a total of 100 and 8 private rooms, spacious and bright, and a comfortable environment, and the third floor is a VIP area, where only a handful of guests are qualified to climb to the third floor.

With Tang Xiu's arrival, the manager of the restaurant had already received a notice and greeted him warmly and said, "You are Mr. Tang, right? I am Chu Hanqing, the manager of our Baiyan Restaurant." Just now, the little boss has informed me that the VIP room on the third floor is ready, and you and your friends can go to the third floor for dinner. All you need here is free. ”

"Lead the way!"

Tang Xiu nodded calmly.

Jia Ruidao's face was a little excited, followed Tang Xiu's side, and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, today we can be regarded as stained with your light." You must know that usually countless dignitaries and dignitaries want to go up to the third floor, but they are stopped by the security personnel here. I didn't expect that one day in my life I would be able to climb to the third floor of Baiyan Restaurant. ”

Tang Xiu shook his head and said, "It's just a matter of enjoying foreign things, it doesn't make much sense." ”

Jia Ruidao smiled bitterly: "Everyone pursues different things. You can keep a normal mind in the face of external objects, but people like you are rare!"

Tang Xiu thought about it and felt that what Jia Ruidao said made sense. Everyone has their own pursuits, some people pursue fame and fortune, some people pursue power and sex, some people pursue material enjoyment, and some people pursue spiritual sustenance. It's like myself, there are only two things I pursue: the strengths of my mother day and night, and cultivation.

There are a total of 18 halls on the third floor, each of which is nearly 200 square meters. Although the interior decoration is also antique, the decoration is extremely luxurious. Even if Tang Xiu didn't have much research on antiques and antiques, he could see that there were a lot of old objects in them.

"Qingming Shanghe map fragment?"

As soon as Jia Ruidao walked into the hall, he found calligraphy and paintings on one wall, and after he observed it for a while, he immediately exclaimed.

The manager of the restaurant smiled: "Our boss once attended an auction in the port area, and this calligraphy and painting was bought at that auction. I heard that it took a nine-figure bid to get it. ”

Tang Xiu's expression moved, and he asked, "Have you seen your boss? I'm not talking about your little boss. ”

The restaurant manager nodded and said, "Of course I did." Because of my gambling addiction, I lost my fortune and lost my position as CEO of a listed company. At that time, his wife was separated and he didn't have enough meals, so it can be said that he was extremely depressed. Fortunately, I met the boss, she paid off my debts, taught me kung fu, and asked me to come to this Baiyan restaurant to help her. It seems that more than 20 years have passed. ”

Tang Xiu asked, "What's your boss's name?"

The restaurant manager said: "Our boss's name, we can't pass it on lightly. I've only seen her four times in the last ten years, and when I first met her, she looked like she was about 20 years old, but the last time I saw her 10 years ago, she seemed to be 20 years old. Actually, I also thought it strange, as if the years would not leave any traces on her. ”

What does a twenty-year-old look like?

Looks similar to that lonely little snow?

Tang Xiu frowned, the little girl he watched grow up in his mind, when he first left him, it seemed that she was only eighteen years old.

Tang Xiu suddenly said, "Help me find a pen and a piece of paper." ”

"Wait a minute!"

The manager of the restaurant immediately informed the other party of Tang Xiu's request through the intercom, and then put the recipe in front of Tang Xiu and the others. When Tang Xiu and the others finished ordering, the paper and pen had already been handed over to Tang Xiu. While waiting for the food, Tang Xiu "brushed" and drew a portrait on the paper.

What he painted was the appearance of her apprentice when she was in the fairy world, when she was eighteen years old, like a flower. With Tang Xiu's painting, a vivid portrait of a young girl was born. There are beautiful women in the north, and they smile at the city and then laugh at the country. The girl in the drawing paper, with a sweet smile, seemed to come to life.

"It's beautiful!"

Jia Ruidao's master and apprentice in the hall, as well as the restaurant manager, were deeply attracted by the girl outlined by Tang Xiu. In a trance, they seemed to really see a girl in the city, standing in front of them and smiling at them.

"Look, isn't she?"

Tang Xiu looked at the restaurant manager and asked in a deep voice.

The restaurant manager sobered up from the intoxication, reluctantly looked away from the painting, shook his head and said, "You painted this fairy." Our boss, although also beautiful, was completely different from her. ”

"Isn't it?"

A trace of loss rose in Tang Xiu's heart, and there was also a trace of relief. He wanted to meet the apprentices who had been raised and respected his teachings, but he was afraid that he would be involved in cause and effect with those who betrayed him.

"Forget it, you go get busy!"

"Good!"

The restaurant manager said yes and left the hall.

Delicacies are being delivered and jars of wine are put on the table. The two young and beautiful waiters did not leave the hall, poured wine for Tang Xiu, Jia Ruidao and others, and then went to the sofa on the other side of the hall to sit down, waiting for Tang Xiu and the others to greet them.

"The wine is okay!"

Tang Xiu returned to modern times, and this was the first time he had drunk. Savor it and nod your head in approval. He has drunk countless fine wines, and he has a great talent for winemaking. But the wine in this Baiyan Restaurant can be regarded as a good taste.

It's OK?

Just okay?

Jia Ruidao drank a glass of wine, revealing an unfinished look. When he heard Tang Xiu's words, he was stunned. He has lived for a long time, and it is the first time he has drunk such a delicious wine, why did he give a "okay" evaluation in Tang Xiu's mouth?

His three apprentices couldn't help but shake their heads at Tang Xiu's words. They are all wine lovers, and it is the first time they have drunk this level of fine wine. Therefore, they secretly laughed at Tang Xiu's evaluation.

"Brother Tang, this is not ordinary wine. I dare say that if we had ordered wine in the box on the second floor, it would definitely not be this kind of wine. Although the wine served in the box on the second floor is also good, it is far worse than this. Jia Ruidao said with a smile.

Tang Xiu raised his glass and said, "If it's delicious, drink more." ”

Twelve o'clock in the evening.

Tang Xiu and Jia Ruidao were full of wine and food, and left the restaurant directly. Because there is no need to settle the bill, it can be regarded as saving a lot of money for Jia Ruidao's master and apprentice. You know, in the box on the second floor, the cheapest meal, I'm afraid it will have to start with 100,000 bills, tonight they ate very richly, Jia Ruidao secretly estimated, if you need to pay, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave without millions.

In the darkness of the night.

The five of them walked along the shaded forest path, surrounded by the dim lights on the side of the road, and occasionally small flying insects lingered. Just as they were about to reach the parking lot, the road ahead was blocked, and the laughter reached their ears.

"Hey, isn't this Master Jia Ruidaojia? I have lost that virtue during the day, why am I still in the mood to go to Baiyan Restaurant to drink at night? Could it be that I want to use wine to kill my sorrows?"

There were a group of people in the front, a total of twelve. And it was one of the three young men in front of him who spoke. Tang Xiu didn't know him, but Jia Ruidao and his three apprentices all knew him, and it was their rival: Chen Kai. Jingmen Island has a well-known reputation.

Jia Ruidao took a step forward and said coldly: "Chen Kai, you don't have to be arrogant. The humiliation you gave me before will be repaid a hundredfold in the future. ”

Chen Kai laughed loudly and said, "I heard you right, do you still have a chance to turn over? Tomorrow, I will let you understand why the flowers are so red! Hahaha......

"You ......"

Jia Ruidao was furious.

"Chen Kai, is he Jia Ruidao, a well-known professional gambler?" a young man asked lightly.

Chen Kai glared at Jia Ruidao defiantly, and then said with a bit of flattery: "Brother Chu, he is Jia Ruidao, the guy who almost lost his pants to me." The three guys behind him are all his apprentices. By the way, the youngest is his son, a **** awkward loser. ”

The young man glanced at Jia Ruidao, nodded lightly and said, "Chen Kai, remember to be a man and leave a line, I want to see you in the future." If they bow their heads, forget it! That jade pendant is pretty good, and I like it very much. It's mine from now on. ”

"Okay, well, it's my gift to Brother Chu. Chen Kai said happily.

Jia Ruidao was stunned, he looked at Chen Kai, and then at the young man, and suddenly became furious, and shouted: "Chen Kai, you fucking fart! That jade pendant is a relic of the old husband and wife, I will definitely try my best to win it back." If you dare to give it to others, don't blame the old man, I'm fighting with you. ”

Chen Kai said disdainfully: "If I win something, it is my thing." What do I want to do, it's your business? If you have the ability, even if you let the horse come, I'm not afraid. ”

"Chen Kai!"

The young man who had just spoken let out a low snort.

Chen Kai shrunk his neck and said with a dry smile: "Brother Chu, it's this old boy who is finding fault." ”

Jia Ruidao's eyes became blood-red, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, his eyes seemed to be able to eat people, and he glared at Chen Kai and said, "What I lost, I will naturally win it back." Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll make you look good. ”

The young man surnamed Chu looked at Jia Ruidao and said lightly: "What I get in my hands will not be returned." If you want a jade pendant, look for me. I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Chu Yi and I am from the imperial capital. ”

Tang Xiu took a step, looked at Chu Yi and said, "You also said just now, stay a line as a man, and see each other in the future." Since that jade pendant is a relic of Jia Ruidao's deceased wife, I think you should give him a chance. If he can win it back tomorrow, the jade pendant should be returned to him, and if he loses tomorrow, we will never mention this jade pendant in the future, and this gamble will be completely over. How?"

Chu Yi narrowed his eyes, looked at Tang Xiu a few times, and asked with a smile, "Who are you?"

"Tang Xiu!"
