Chapter 62: Brain teasers
The three men who walked first were all very old.
The man in the center is in his twenties, with a tall figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a long sword hanging from his waist.
Most of the young people who carried swords and swords in this era were young masters from powerful families or children of families, and the handsome man's scabbard was inlaid with gold and silver, which was worth a lot at a glance, which shows that its origin is extraordinary.
The two men on the left and right sides of the handsome man, one seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other only thirteen or fourteen years old, were fair-skinned and slender.
Compared with the man with the sword, the two men who were a little younger were a little more handsome.
It's just that unlike the masculine and heroic beauty of the man with the sword, the two younger men have soft eyebrows and eyes, and their gestures are even a little girly in the eyes of many people.
If Yang Xu was here, when he saw these two men, he would inevitably scold a "sissy".
The three young men who entered the hall of the restaurant first were full of an innate sense of wealth and dignity, and ordinary people couldn't help but feel ashamed of themselves in front of them.
Behind the three young men were two burly men with swords at their waists.
The two men looked cold and sharp, and after entering the hall, they kept scanning around, and some of the guests did not dare to look at them.
As soon as the five brocade-clothed men came in, the guests who were eating and drinking seemed to see the words "not easy to mess with" in their heads.
Except for a few guests who were good at Longyang, who frequently paid attention to the three handsome men, the other guests only glanced at them, and then they were attracted by the storyteller or the brain teasers that covered the surrounding walls.
"It's unfortunate that the five guests came, and the three floors are all fully booked today...... You can choose to come by early tomorrow or wait here for a while while the other guests leave. ”
A shopkeeper greeted him politely and said with a smile on his face.
"Little Er, you are busy, we are not in a hurry......"
The handsome man with the sword, who was obviously the leader of the five, waved at the shopkeeper, and then, along with the other four men, walked to the waiting area on the east side of the hall on his own.
In the waiting area, there are many bamboo chairs for guests who come to eat and drink, but do not have a seat for a while.
The five men in brocade clothes sat down on the bamboo chairs, and then began to carefully examine the environment in the restaurant.
Although they are well-informed, this Yangjia restaurant is very different from the restaurants they have been to before.
Take the eight women on both sides of the entrance of the restaurant who are dressed in uniform clothes and are specially responsible for welcoming and sending them off, which they have never seen before.
I have to say that the eight good-looking and smiling women stopped there, which played an excellent eye-catching role, and many guests ...... Male customers, in particular, are attracted to them.
The interior decoration style of this restaurant is not the magnificent way of other restaurants, but a combination of elegance and vulgarity, with appropriate matching, and each floor is decorated with flowers and green grass, which is refreshing.
In the center of the hall on the first floor, there is a three-foot-high round platform, which is specially designed for storytellers and Qingqi people to tell stories and sing here.
The five brocade-clothed men who had just come in looked around, and then their eyes fell on the brain teasers hanging on the walls around them.
Especially the two slender and handsome young men, who watched one brain teaser after another, had a look of novelty and excitement on their faces.
"Why does Xiao Ming always close his eyes when he praises his wife? That's an interesting question...... Isn't it right that ordinary people should look at their wife when they praise her? That's ...... from the bottom of my heart."
"What is the first thing a normal person has to do when he wakes up in the morning? Well, isn't it washing? ”
"It shouldn't be so simple, otherwise it would have been answered."
"Look at this again...... Two people fell into a trap, the dead are called dead, and what are the living called? Ah, what does that mean......"
"A dead man is called a dead man, but shouldn't a living man be called a living man?"
"It must not be like this......"
The heads of the two slender and handsome men almost came together, whispering in a low voice, both clearly showing a keen interest in the brain teaser.
The handsome man with a sword on the side looked at them with a smile, with a bit of doting in his eyes.
"The Emperor...... Third brother, don't just sit still, help us think about it......"
The youngest slender man pushed the man with the sword and said coquettishly.
The man with the sword laughed: "Duobao, haven't you always claimed to be smart? I want to go slowly! ”
The handsome man named "Duobao" snorted, turned around and begged the slightly older handsome man next to him: "...... Sister Duofu...... Brother, your talent is not inferior to the third brother, you help me think! ”
The handsome man named "Duofu" also smiled when he heard this: "As far as I know, these brain teasers often have unexpected answers, and they can't be understood at all. I'm going to have to think about it......"
Duobao said in surprise: "You two, but our emperor ...... Two of the smartest people in our family can't even think of an answer? According to this, the Yang Xu who came out of these brain teasers, wouldn't his talent still overshadow you? ”
The man with the sword said: "Yang Xu has become famous recently, and several poems he made during the Moon Festival have been passed to the imperial capital. After reading his water-tuned song, Duofu and I were ashamed of it. ”
Duofu nodded and said: "It is rumored that this Yang Xu is not only a poet, but also talented, and can also turn the clouds and rain in the business field. The business of this restaurant can be so hot, all because of his advice and single-handedness. ”
Duobao shook his head and sighed with a regretful face: "Good reader, what kind of business do you want to do?" It's a pity that I was stained with copper and insulted my identity......"
In this world, the order of hierarchical status is also the same as that of Shinong and industry. The scholar has the most revered status, while the merchant has the lowest status, and his descendants cannot even be officials.
Therefore, Duobao thought that Yang Xu was obviously talented, but he wanted to surrender his identity and be in the company of businessmen, and he felt a little sorry for him.
The man with the sword turned grim, and his tone was a little stern: "Duobao, don't underestimate the merchant!" The four people of the world, Shinong industry and commerce, all have the value and significance of their existence! In my opinion, the importance of businessmen is not inferior to the other three people, or even surpassed! ”
After a pause, he said: "The people eat, wear, shelter, and travel, and the soldiers march and fight, which one can be separated from the merchants?" Duobao, Duobao, in your heart, don't look at businessmen like lowly in the future! Remember? ”
There was a bit of reprimand in his tone, Duobao seemed to have been wronged, his eyes were quickly covered with a layer of mist, his mouth was flattened, and he turned his head to ignore him.
Seeing this, Duofu pursed his lips and smiled, grabbed Duobao's shoulder, and comforted him softly: "Duobao is not angry, the third brother also has his reason when he says this...... Okay, let's think about the answers to these brain teasers......"
After persuading for a long time, Duobao rubbed his eyes, glanced at the man with the sword, and then continued to study brain teasers with Duofu.
After a while, a middle-aged man who was having a late meal suddenly stood up, pointed to the brain teaser written on one of the pieces of paper, and said with his hands dancing: "What is the first thing a normal person has to do when he wakes up every morning...... I've figured out the answer to this! Ha ha...... I've got it! ”
The guests in the restaurant looked at him one after another, and someone said in disbelief: "What is the answer?" Speak up! Young Master Ben came up with a few answers before, what dressing, folding quilts, and washing are all wrong! ”
