The East Market is indeed very prosperous, along the road are prosperous restaurants, no more than three floors high, people come and go in and out, standing at the door can hear the sound of talking from afar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zi Mo watched as he walked, thinking about which one to go to try his plan.
A five-story building suddenly appeared in his sight, brightly lit, which was definitely unique in the floor construction that Zi Mo had just seen all the way. And...... Zi Mo raised his eyes and saw that the open main entrance revealed a corner of the lobby, full of many brightly dressed people, unabashedly wearing gold and silver, obviously rich and noble.
Zi Mo's eyes lit up.
This is it!
In Juxiang Building, the shopkeeper Tong looked at the full lobby with a smile on his face, and then looked at the private room on the second floor, which was also full of guests, and his mind was full of white flowers and silver rolling in, and he happily patted the head of the little second person who ran by him: "Be smart." ”
Xiao Er touched the back of his head inexplicably, and said in his heart that the shopkeeper Tong "saw the money and opened his eyes" again, and hurriedly ran towards the kitchen again: "Add another braised hoof to table five!" ”
Shopkeeper Tong touched the half-length beard on his chin, smiled and watched Xiao Er run away, his bright eyes fell to the door of the lobby with a turn, and then stopped with interest.
"Ju, Xiang, Lou."
Zi Mo slowly opened his mouth wide and closed it slowly, and swallowed his saliva with a grunt.
It's good-looking, it's good-looking.
Look at this power...... Couldn't it be the legendary "three points into the wood"? Stretching out her little white hand that she had recently raised with some flesh, she suddenly remembered what the teacher who taught her calligraphy in modern times had told her: "Zimo, you find it hard to believe many things, just because you haven't seen them with your own eyes." But just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It is especially feasible to wear a drop of stone, but why can't it be true that it is three points into the wood? ”
It turns out that there are really such people in this world who have such a strong pen and can write good words with one hand "into the wood"?
Zi Mo felt a little in a trance.
"Why does the little boy look so fascinated?" Someone leaned against the door and looked at her, it was a middle-aged uncle, wearing a black hat, wearing a navy blue robe, a long black beard, and a smile in his eyes, looking a bit like Gongsun Ce in the TV series she had watched before.
Zi Mo guessed that he should be the shopkeeper in this restaurant or some other person in charge, so he pointed to the signboard above his head.
"Oh?" Shopkeeper Tong looked very curious, "I don't know what's wrong with our house's signboard?" ”
Hearing the words "our family", Zi Mo knew that she should have guessed correctly, the second junior inside was running around and busy non-stop, but this person could leisurely lean against the door and still have time to take care of her, a young man in ordinary clothes, thinking that this person's identity must be much higher than that of the junior in the hall.
"Nope. There's nothing wrong with your signboard. Zi Mo smiled, trying to make himself look natural, "I just think the three words on this signboard are very beautiful, so I am a little fascinated by it." At the end, he added, "You know, people tend to look at good things a little more. ”
Shopkeeper Tong raised her eyelids when she heard this, and she was a little surprised that she would suddenly say this. However, she has a vision, and you must know that this signboard was begged for from their son with great effort.
Isn't their son's pen and ink priceless?
Shopkeeper Tong looked at Zi Mo's dress from top to bottom, and when his eyes returned to Zi Mo's face, his face was even more interested, and he touched his chin with interest, and said, "The little boy has vision, why don't you tell me where my signboard is?" What's so good? If it makes sense, I will invite the little boy into the store to eat, how about it be my thank you gift to the little boy? ”
Zi Mo's eyes rolled, and he bent his lips and smiled: "You don't need to eat, if I can say that the habits of the person who writes at three points are good, how about the shopkeeper do me a favor?" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he felt that he was not at a loss and very interesting, and immediately responded.
Zi Mo was happy when he saw this, raised his feet and walked a few steps closer, stood under the signboard at the door, stared up for a long time, and said slowly: "People who write like to be quiet and don't like to move, they are decisive in trouble, they are neat and clean, and they don't drag mud and water." ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper Tong's eyes flashed with amazement, and he smiled slowly: "Not bad." ”
Zi Mo saw it clearly, smiled, and continued: "I guess he should be very clean, he doesn't like people to get close, and often gives people a sense of distance." ”
Shopkeeper Tong's eyes lit up and said, "How do you know this?" ”
Zi Mo patiently explained: "Although there are only three short words, there are a lot of strokes in each of these three words. If you look closely, you will find that there is no pause between the three words, but it is written in one stroke, and it is so smooth that it has the potential of flowing water as everyone says. From this, I judge that the person who writes must be a resolute and neat person, who does not like cumbersomeness or procrastination. Moreover," Zi Mo pointed to the bustling and lively lobby, "Such a big restaurant, such bright lights, such a good business, and even the two wooden pillars at the door are all expensive red sour branches, and every place is really telling everyone that your store is very rich." Speaking of this, Zi Mo saw the shopkeeper Tong and smiled proudly, "But it is such a big restaurant that is publicized everywhere, and this signboard is used, and the most representative signboard is made of ordinary pine wood, not a top-level wood with a high price, and it is not decorated with gorgeous gold powder, and it is purely made by the person who writes with a thick ink." I guess," Zi Mo said with a hint of appreciation hidden in his eyes, "This signboard should have been made by the person who wrote the inscription himself." ”
When the shopkeeper Tong heard this, he began to applaud and praise: "Not bad, not bad!" I did the decoration of the whole store, except for this signboard. ”
Zi Mo nodded unexpectedly: "That's why I think he should be a person who likes simplicity and cleanliness." Your tastes ...... It's too cumbersome and tiring, it shouldn't be his thing. As for the last point," said in a slightly raised tone, "I guess he must be a very young boy, and a good-looking boy." ”
"Oh?" The shopkeeper Tong's face trembled, and he couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Why do you say that?" ”
"The ancients said, 'Seeing words is like seeing people'. His handwriting is so good-looking, and the person must be good-looking too. Zi Mo pursed his nose and smiled.
"Hahaha!" Shopkeeper Tong finally couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, "The little boy is really interesting!" I've lived so long, and you're the first person to know our son so well with just three words, and it's not bad at all! Come on, come on, come into the store and sit, today I will be the east, and thank you for the kindness of our son. ”
Zi Mo's eyes moved when he heard the word "childe", and then he raised his feet and followed the shopkeeper Tong into Juxiang Building.
Juxiang Building is overcrowded, and it is a bit inappropriate to say that it is overcrowded, after all, the management of other restaurants is still very orderly.
When Xiao Er saw the two of them, he immediately ran to the shopkeeper Tong and said, "Shopkeeper Tong, what's the matter?" As he spoke, he glanced at Zi Mo curiously several times.
Shopkeeper Tong looked very happy, and said with a smile: "Arrange a private room for this little man, and serve all the signature dishes of our restaurant, as well as ......."
"Shopkeeper Tong," Zi Mo learned Xiao Er's name, "I understand your kindness, but I came out temporarily, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to my family if I go back late, so I don't have to trouble today." Besides, we just said that you only need to do me a small favor. ”
Xiao Er listened in a fog on the side, one seemed to be going to have a treat, the other seemed to be leaving, he was full of doubts and didn't know what to do, so he had to look at the shopkeeper Tong again.
At this time, the shopkeeper Tong remembered the agreement between the two, but he also waved his hand generously and let Xiao Er go, and then said to Zi Mo: "I don't know what the little boy wants me to help?" ”
Zi Mo rolled his eyes and said, "It's just a little busy, I don't know if I can borrow it from the kitchen of your restaurant?" ”
The shopkeeper Tong's eyes flashed with doubt, and he stretched out his hand and said, "But it doesn't hurt to borrow." Please. ”
Zi Mo thanked him and strode towards the kitchen in the direction of Shopkeeper Tong's finger.
Shopkeeper Tong followed.
