Xu Tianyou Xu Dashao thinks that he will never lose, the reason is very simple, his nose is really different.

It turned out that Xu Dashao grew up in a soy sauce factory since he was a child, and at that time his father had a hard time starting a business, and his mother was busy helping her husband take care of the soy sauce factory, and no one took care of him at all. Xu Dashao picked up birds and walked dogs in the soy sauce factory alone, and grew up slowly. As a result of his exposure to a wide variety of smells every day, his nose began to become sensitive and picky, so much so that when he grew up, he was even able to tell the level and time of fermentation of soy sauce based on the smell.

These are nothing, when he went to school, Xu Dashao relied on the unique skill of "smelling vinegar with his nose", beating invincible opponents all over the world, and fooling the pocket money of many classmates. At the end of each class, he would take three paper cups, fill them with boiled water, and then drip a drop of vinegar into one of them, and within three meters, guess which cup had vinegar. This trick can be said to be a hundred tried, and his classmates lost a mess, so he named his nose "Emperor Nose". It's just that Xu Dashao's own ability knows that this kind of gambling method is okay within three meters, and it doesn't work outside three meters, but in his opinion, absolutely no one can win himself outside three meters, unless that person's nose is even more powerful than himself.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Dashao has always been full of confidence in his nose sense of smell, and believes that no one in the world can win his "emperor nose".

It's a pity that this world is so strange, and people who often think they have a good chance of winning end up losing miserably.

For example, now-

"I'll pick the third one."

Lin Yi turned around and said to Xu Tianyou Xu Dashao with a smile.

At this moment, Xu Dashao was sweating profusely, his eyes were surprised, and he had long lost the arrogance just now, because Lin Yi had guessed correctly N times in front of these three teacups.

At first, Xu Tianyou was a little unconvinced, thinking that Lin Yi was just blind, and the blind cat caught the dead mouse, and he was right. So it was called for "two wins in three games". Lin Yi didn't refute, and easily won two more times, Xu Dashao's self-confidence was hit, and he strongly demanded "three wins in five games......

The result is very clear, no matter how Xu Tianyou peels and how he places the three cups of tea, Lin Yi can judge which cup has vinegar in one bite.

Even once Xu Tianyou deliberately put the vinegared tea aside and took three cups of vinegarless to fool him, but Lin Yi was not fooled, he just looked at the quiet cup of vinegar tea with a smile-

Xu Tianyou is going crazy.

He didn't believe that anyone with a nose could beat him.

But facts are facts.

Guo Zixing, Lu Feiyan, and Sun Xiaohong were also shocked by Lin Yi's super nose that unexpectedly shocked the four seats.

In the face of everyone's surprise, Lin Yi still looked very calm and asked Xu Tianyou: "Have you admitted defeat?" ”

Xu Da Shao's face turned red, and he nodded unconvinced.

Lin Yi said again: "Then I am willing to gamble and lose—"

"What do you want me to do?" Xu Tianyou gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"It's very simple-" Lin Yi pointed at Sun Xiaohong, and then said with a smile, "You just need to apologize to her!" ”

……

No one expected Lin Yi's condition to be this.

Guo Zixing, who had a heart in his eyes for money, thought that Lin Yi would ask Xu Dashao for money, the family that sells soy sauce has a strong foundation, and people are not bad for money, so if they don't slaughter at this time, they won't slaughter it.

Lu Feiyan thought that Lin Yi would put forward more demanding conditions, and even thought of several possibilities in her heart.

Sun Xiaomei didn't expect that Lin Yi was helping herself from beginning to end.

What are you? It's nice to be a lobby manager, but it's actually a senior waiter who pours tea and pours water and greets people with a smile.

Where do you deserve to accept an apology from these rich people?

Seeing that Sun Xiaomei was still in a daze, Lin Yi approached her and laughed softly: "To be honest, I really want to help you blackmail him for some money, it doesn't matter if you look like one or two thousand yuan, it's too late if you regret it...... But I want to say that you and I are both ordinary people, and ordinary people can throw away everything, but there are only two things that can't, one is ancestors, and the other is dignity. After speaking, he glanced at the cold Lu Feiyan intentionally or unintentionally.

When Sun Xiaomei heard Lin Yi say this, she no longer hesitated, and mustered up the courage to say to Xu Tianyou: "Please apologize!" ”

……

Lu Feiyan looked at it coldly, for her, Xu Tianyou was just an ordinary person she knew when she came to Nandu, and he volunteered to be his own follower, his wins and losses, his face, all had nothing to do with him.

Before coming to Nandu, Lu Feiyan always sighed that the Nandu was too small, and it couldn't compare with Jiangnan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hangzhou, and Jinling; Where the bowl is big, how can there be a dragon and a crouching tiger. But now, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be underestimating here, at least, the Lin Yi in front of her seemed to be a character, of course, in Lu Feiyan's eyes, he was just a small person for the time being.

……

Just when Lu Feiyan re-examined the little character Lin Yi, the little character Lin Yi had already gone down the stairs.

At this time, the Longfeng Tea House is not as deserted as before, it has begun to become lively, and there are more and more people who come here to drink tea and talk about business, and there are all kinds of laughter in the hall from time to time.

When he came, someone greeted him warmly, but when he went, no one greeted him warmly, but Lin Yi didn't care about this. He always felt uncomfortable staying in such an upscale and luxurious place, like putting a poor boy who was accustomed to living in an adobe house into the Grand Palace at once, although the surroundings were gorgeous, but they were not his own home, and although they were rich, they were full of hypocrisy. It's still comfortable to stay in your own bed.

Lin Yi's pace quickened, and he just wanted to leave here as fast as possible, but when he passed by the glass cabinet where Lu Yu's "Book of Tea" was placed again, his nose moved, as if he felt something.

The smell of books that I had smelled when I first came here was gone, replaced by a depleted smell.

Could it be ......

Lin Yi chuckled in his heart, and suddenly a sense of guilt swelled up, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the glass cabinet where the ancient books were placed, only to see that the ancient books, which were already very worn, were slowly withering and aging after he drained the essence.

Lin Yi closed his eyes, as if he heard the cry of this four-hundred-year-old book, yes, what right do you have to be so selfish, absorb its essence, and cause it to wither?

It has experienced four hundred years of ups and downs, but it has met itself.

Lin Yi admits that he is not a good person, he is selfish, he will repay his eyes, he doesn't care about anything on the surface, but in fact he is very cautious.

But he has always been a downright person, and he doesn't like to owe someone something, even if the other party is a book.

Books also have the dignity of books.

You can turn it over, tear it off, or even burn it, but you don't have the power to pump the essence of **** and leave it to fend for itself.

It's ridiculous, just now I was talking about "dignity" to Sun Xiaomei, but now I am doing this to a 400-year-old book-

"That's it, that's it! If I could, I'd give you back a qiē! As soon as Lin Yi's mind moved, he saw that something strange had happened, a gust of wind blew slightly, and a refined bookish smell overflowed from his body, strangely surrounding the ancient book "The Book of Tea", and then looking at the tattered "Book of Tea", it began to slowly repair and heal, like a moisturized dead tree, rejuvenated-

Everything was full of life, and even the set of comic strips hidden in his arms began to become brilliant, no longer pale and powerless.

If it is not broken, it will not stand.

If you don't ruin miè, where will you get a new life?!

Lin Yi never thought that such a thing would happen, at this moment, his eyes were closed, and he only felt that he was deeply integrated with that ancient book, he was that book, and that book was himself.

Four hundred years of turbulence and displacement, four hundred years of loneliness, he tasted the warmth and coldness of the world like that book, and saw the heat and coldness of the world. Humbly from one hand to the other, coldly accompanied by the lonely lamp, lonely hidden deep in the bookcase, sadly suffering from fire and water, desolate and slowly growing old......

Words give me life, pages give me a body, but you wrap me, lock me up, hide it, and seem to love me, but how many people have really read me and loved me?!

Book, what is it?

It's meant to be read.

What is an old book?

It's for seeing.

It's not something outdated, something useless.

Many people look down on old books, look down on old books, think that these are all things in the past tense and things that cannot be put on the table, and even some masters of the hundred pulpits have said unashamedly that old books should be discarded in the garbage heap, and only new books can urge people to move up.

Is this really the case?

It's human nature to like the new and hate the old, but don't forget, the old book you read has been integrated into your life and buried in your memory.

In the past, Lin Yi only liked old books a little because they were cheap and because they were readily available, but he never thought that old books also had dignity and life.

All books that have gone through the trials of time have their own spirituality, their own stories.

At this moment, you can ask yourself, how many old books in your bedside bookcase, how much have you read, how much do you understand, do you really know their stories?

No, not a single one.

Lin Yi thought of how he had done with these old books before, either abandoning them, tearing them up, ignoring them, or treating them indifferently.

At this moment, he seemed to hear the cries of those old books, heard their tragic stories, felt their hardships, and the dignity that was trampled to the end.

Lin Yi's heart was throbbing, and when he came to his senses and opened his eyes again, he had already burst into tears.

And at this time, the aura that overflowed from his body returned to his body again, and it was even more lean and abundant than before.

Looking at the customers around him who were originally laughing, they were looking at him suspiciously, even if they had all kinds of thoughts, they couldn't understand, why did this person stand in the hall stupidly, bursting into tears?
