Chapter Fifty-Eight: Please ask about the flowing water
Wenshui Restaurant is located in Chang'an City's most prosperous Qingshui River, ten miles of clear river water, eight miles of fat powder, as the most famous fireworks place in Chang'an City, here is known as the gentle township and Pinjin Grotto, even the air is flowing with a merry smell.
But asking the water restaurant is different, it is like the bright moon in the hundreds of millions of stars, Yingying is independent, not contaminated with the fireworks in this world at all, according to legend, it has existed thousands of years ago when the Han Dynasty was founded, there was a willow tree in front of the restaurant, the restaurant was named Wenliu, until many, many years later, a drunkard wearing a white coat walked into the restaurant, drank the wine but had no money to settle the bill, and then wrote the famous poem that has been popular for thousands of years on the wall with a stroke of the pen.
The wind blows the willow flowers all over the store, and Wu Ji presses the wine to call the guests to taste.
The children of Jinling came to see each other off, and they did everything they could.
Please try to ask the east flowing water, don't care who is short or long.
The shopkeeper didn't take this poem as a thing, but he paid attention to treating people kindly when doing business, so he sent someone to take off the white fur on the drunkard and drove him out, but he didn't expect that within a few years after the drunkard left the Wenliu Restaurant, he became the Qinglian Sword Immortal of the Endless Continent.
The poem on the wall of the Liuliu Restaurant, because the calligraphy looks like there is still a little bit of taste has not been erased by the shopkeeper, after learning that the drunkard was the famous Qinglian Sword Fairy Li Taibai, the shopkeeper sent someone to rub the true handwriting of this poem, and also made a stele, standing in front of the door of the Liuliu Restaurant.
Since then, the shopkeeper has taken the question of water in the sentence of asking the east flowing water, and changed the name of the restaurant to ask the water restaurant. Since then, this small restaurant has become famous all over the world and has become a signboard of Chang'an City.
Standing next to the stele in front of the Wenshui Restaurant, feeling the power faintly flowing in the true handiwork of the sword immortal on the stele, Chen Linci stopped, looking at the young man who called himself Wen Liyu not far away, and the back on Chang'an Road began to appear in his mind.
Brother Wen said that there would be a period in the future, but he didn't expect this period to be so close. Chen Linci smiled and took the initiative to say hello.
Liu Yi, a young man in Mai, said with a smile: "Meeting is fate, Brother Chen has a drink inside?"
The autumn wind blows through the Qingshui River, and the willow tree on the riverside has been a legend for thousands of years, of course, it is no longer there at this time, Chen Linci came here to go in to satisfy his stomach, and at this time, he met Wen Liyu, a person who made him look extremely pleasing to the eye, so it was natural to have a drink.
So he smiled and said, "Brother Wen, please." ”
Liu Yi, a young man in linen, and Chen Linci, a young man in brocade, walked into the Wenshui Restaurant where Qinglian Sword Immortal once walked in, looking like two ordinary people, there was nothing surprising, but no one thought that these two ordinary looking teenagers, one was a cultivation genius from the Chu State, and the other was even more amazing, it was the prince of Wuling of the current Han Dynasty, and the future prince of the prince.
After thousands of years of wind and rain, the real works of the sword fairy of that year have long since ceased to exist, but there are traces of later generations still inscribed on the new wall of the rebuild, and the consumption of the same wine and food on the adjacent table is much higher than that of the ordinary table, Chen Linci looked at Liu Yi's dress, not like he was very rich, so he smiled and said: "I have the fate to meet Brother Wen here today, and I will treat this meal to you." ”
Liu Yi smiled faintly and said, "No." ”
Through the window next to the table, you can clearly see the grand scenery on the Qingshui River, see the bustling crowd on the small bridge, see the girls dressed up in the green building, see a lot of Chang'an weather, and blow the cool wind in autumn.
Chen Linci came to Liu Yi and sat down opposite, picked up the menu on the table and looked at the price, and found that although it was a little expensive, it was not within the range that he could accept, so he smiled and said, "Brother Wen wants to eat something, just order it directly." ”
Liu Yi raised his head, looked at Chen Linci on the opposite side seriously, and said with a smile: "You see that you are very pleasing to the eye, so this meal, I will please." ”
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that he really felt that he was not wrong, this kid not only looked very similar to himself, but even his thoughts were surprisingly similar.
But after looking at Liu Yi's poor clothes, Chen Linci was a little unbearable, for fear that the other party would say such big words in order to save face
If you can't settle the bill, won't you fall into the same dilemma as when you were in the carrier restaurant?
He looked at Liu Yi and smiled, and said, "Brother Wen, I didn't have a good gathering on Chang'an Road, and today's meal is better for me." ”
Liu Yi looked at Chen Linci and smiled, and said, "Do you think I have no money?"
Chen Linci was a little embarrassed, how could he put such words on the scene and say, so that he really didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Liu Yi didn't plan to wait for Chen Linci to answer anything, so he continued: "Don't worry, I'm not short of money. ”
Now that everything has been said about this, Chen Linci naturally didn't want to say anything, so he took the menu and smeared it with shredded pork with green peppers, boiled peanuts and braised pork.
"What kind of wine?" asked Liu Yi.
Chen Linci has never paid much attention to things like wine, so he said with a smile: "It's all right, it's all right." ”
"Little two. Liu Yi beckoned the shopkeeper to come over, and then didn't even look at the menu, so he said: "Two pots of good Du Kang, a plate of boiled peanuts, a plate of steamed sea bass, plus braised pork and the most famous Qinglian Guizi porridge in your store." ”
"Okay, wait a minute. The shopkeeper looked at Liu Yi, who was dressed in coarse linen, with a slight look of shock in his eyes, and he couldn't figure out how this shabby-looking teenager could be so familiar with the recipes in his store.
Chen Linci's eyes also have this kind of doubt.
But Liu Yi didn't give him a chance to raise doubts, so he said directly: "Brother Chen, this Wenshui restaurant is famous for the poems left by Qinglian Sword Immortal back then, I specially chose this table today, just to let you see if there are any other ways to write on the wall." ”
Chen Linci smiled and said, "The story of Qinglian Sword Immortal was written many years ago, and I am afraid that this character is no longer the authentic handiwork of the past. ”
Liu Yi smiled faintly and said: "Some things, whether they are true or not, are not something that can be mottled by time. ”
Chen Linci thought that what he said was right, so he raised his head and looked carefully at the poem on the wall.
A wave of dampness began to coalesce in the air.
