Chapter 11: Magic
Although the national strength has declined.
But Kyoto is still thriving.
The streets are bustling with people.
The shops are lined up one after another, the vendors are constantly shouting, and all kinds of noise and noise are endless.
Wei Yan and Wei Ling'er wandered around.
Although there is no money to spend, you can have an enjoyable life.
Wei Linger has just turned fourteen years old this year, wearing a goose-yellow skirt, which is petite and delicate, quite delicate.
This girl seems to have not been out to play for a long time, and she is very happy today.
When passing by a restaurant full of diners, Wei Yan smelled a strong aroma of food, and his stomach rumbled a few times.
I ate a little last night, I didn't eat breakfast, and I ate a little more at lunch, so it's no wonder that I'm not hungry.
He hesitated for a moment, Fang turned his head to look at Wei Ling'er beside him and said, "Sister Ling'er, how much money do you have?" โ
Wei Ling'er was a little embarrassed and said, "It's only Wuwen, or my mother knows that I want to accompany you out, so she secretly stuffed it for me and asked me to buy snacks for you." โ
Wei Yan pointed to this restaurant and said, "It should be enough to buy the cheapest dish in it, right?" โ
Wei Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and Fang blushed and said, "I don't know, I've never come out to eat." โ
Wei Yan was speechless, and when he was thinking, he suddenly saw a sign hanging at the door of the restaurant, which said, "Today's dishes are half price".
"Let's go, let's get in!"
Since it's half price, the five cents must be enough.
He didn't believe in such a big restaurant, and he didn't even have a plate of side dishes for ten cents.
Wei Ling'er saw that he really wanted to go in, and hurriedly said, "Brother Yan, the dishes inside are very expensive, let's ...... Let's go. โ
She only has five cents on her, where is it enough?
"It's okay, let's go inside."
Wei Yan pulled her directly and entered the restaurant.
He didn't go in to eat, but to see how the food inside was like, and how it could attract so many customers.
Wei Ling'er was grabbed by his little hand, and her face was immediately red, her ears were red, her head was lowered, and she didn't dare to say anything more.
"Ouch, guest officer, please inside! Do you want a downstairs location or an upstairs location? โ
The shopkeeper greeted him warmly.
Wei Yan glanced at the hall downstairs, which was noisy, and said, "Upstairs." โ
The shopkeeper said yes and immediately took them upstairs.
Wei Ling'er wanted to speak and stopped, her little face flushed.
Although he hadn't come out to eat, he knew that the upstairs was more expensive.
Just by the window, there are guests leaving.
The shopkeeper immediately took the two of them there, first asked them to sit down and drink water, and then went to get the menu.
"This son, have you eaten our signature dish here? It's delicious! Every guest was full of praise when they ate it! โ
The shopkeeper enthusiastically promoted it.
Wei Yan didn't take the menu, stopped his sales, and said directly: "What is the cheapest dish here?" โ
The shopkeeper's face froze, and the enthusiastic smile on his face was a little unbearable, and he said, "Fry pine nuts." โ
"Fried pine nuts?"
Wei Yan said secretly, this thing can also be used as a dish?
Then he asked, "How much is a plate?" โ
There was only a trace of a smile left on the face of the shopkeeper, and he said, "Twenty Wen." โ
"So expensive?"
Wei Yan was surprised: "Isn't it written on the sign outside that says half price today?" You didn't give me a discount? โ
The shopkeeper bent down and straightened up, the last trace of smile on his face disappeared, and he said with a wooden face: "This is half price, the previous price was forty wen a plate." โ
Wei Ling'er blushed, secretly pulled his clothes, and said, "Brother Yan, let's go......"
Wei Yan thought for a while, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "A plate of pine nuts is twenty wen, right?" How about you let the kitchen put a few fewer pine nuts, and I only need a quarter of them? โ
"Poofโ"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter from the next seat.
The shopkeeper's face sank, and he said, "I'm sorry son, our store only sells a plate of twenty wen." If you don't want it, then please go downstairs. โ
This is already tearing the skin and starting to drive away.
Wei Yan was still cheeky and said, "Then do you want money for rice here?" โ
The shopkeeper said with a gloomy face: "Don't." โ
Wei Yan slapped the table with a "snap" and said, "Okay!" Then two nights of rice! โ
Shopkeeper 2: "......"
"Hahaha......"
This time, the next few people finally couldn't help it and laughed.
Wei Yan turned his head to look and saw that one of them was smiling forward and backward, very exaggerated, obviously wearing men's clothes, but let out a girl's laughter.
The other girls in skirts covered their mouths and smiled more reservedly.
Look at their clothes, they are either rich or expensive.
Wei Yan's heart moved, and he suddenly arched his hand at them, and said with a smile: "Everyone, why don't we make a deal, I'll do a magic trick for everyone, and everyone invites me to have a meal with my sister, how about it?" โ
Since there is a big wrong, don't pit or pit nothing.
"Magic? What is magic? โ
The girl with red lips and white teeth dressed as a man finally stopped laughing and said curiously.
Wei Yan smiled slightly, stood up, and walked towards them.
At this time, several men at the table next to him suddenly looked cold and stood up, holding the hilt of the knife at their waist.
The girl dressed as a man just glanced at it, and the men immediately sat down again.
Wei Yan walked to the table, picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table, shook them in front of the eyes of several girls, and said, "Look at it!" โ
After speaking, he flipped his wrist and hid the chopsticks in his sleeve, then spread his hand and said, "Look, the chopsticks are gone, this is magic." โ
"Poofโ"
The girl, who was disguised as a man, smiled again and said, "Are you a fool to me?" You're a liar! The chopsticks are in your sleeve, don't you know me? โ
Wei Yan took a few steps back, raised his hand, and said, "Girl, please let someone search it." โ
The girl's eyes flashed, and she turned her head to look at the other table.
One of the young men immediately got up, walked over, and searched Wei Yan's sleeve without saying anything, but found nothing.
The smile on the girl's face disappeared, and she said, "Search his whole body!" Maybe slip through your sleeves to your chest, or into your pants. โ
The young man received the order and immediately searched for it.
However, when he searched Wei Yan's whole body, he still didn't find the pair of chopsticks.
At this time, the expression on the girl's face finally became serious.
She stood up, walked to Wei Yan's side, looked left and right, glanced at the ground again, then frowned, blinked and said, "Where is it?" โ
Wei Yan raised his hand and said, "Here." โ
Sure enough, the pair of chopsticks returned to his hand at some point!
"This ...... That's impossible? โ
The young man looked incredulous, he had searched everywhere just now.
The girl's eyes flickered, staring at the young man in front of her for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, give me another magic trick, and I will invite you and your sister to dinner." However, I have to choose this thing myself. โ
As she spoke, she took off a jade pendant from her waist, handed it to Wei Yan, and said with a smile: "Is it okay?" โ
Wei Yan took the jade pendant and said with a smile: "Of course you can." โ
With that, with a flip of his wrist, the jade pendant disappeared.
The girl's eyes were glued to his wrist and she ordered, "Search his sleeve." โ
The young man immediately searched for it, but he did not find the jade pendant.
Without waiting for the girl's orders, he searched Wei Yan's whole body again, but still found nothing.
The young man's face was full of incredulous expressions.
He had been staring at it just now, and he didn't even dare to blink his eyes.
What about the jade pendant?
At this time, the other girls at the table were also aroused and stood up one after another.
Wei Yan stretched out his hand, touched the hair behind the girl in front of him, handed the jade pendant to her, and said, "Here it is." โ
Everyone suddenly had a look of surprise on their faces.
