Chapter 42: Xizi Breaks the Problem (1)

"I saw ...... as soon as I came in" Su Lian said casually: "The pair is simple, the key depends on what kind of rules this martial arts question is......"

"In that case, we hope to have a big meal here for free......" Ma Xiuying said with a grin.

Su Lian shook his head and smiled bitterly, he didn't care much about eating, it was just that this topic aroused interest.

After a while, Xiaomei led a man in his forties, a little fat, with a goatee and a lovely smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ...... polite" The man clenched his fists and said: "Contemptible Qiu Chuanli, I don't know what to call the princes?" ”

This Qiu Chuanli is a little naΓ―ve, but his eyes are sharp and he feels shrewd. He smiled kindly, hugged his fists as soon as he came, and signed up for his own number, which was intimate.

Su Lian and several others also reported their names according to the courtesy, but Ma Xiuying reported Ma Ying's name. In fact, anyone can see at a glance that she is a woman, but she wants to be a man everywhere.

Qiu Chuanli said a few more words, and then said: "Xiaomei Shicai has already introduced a little to the contemptible people. You are extraordinary, you must be the heroes of the rivers and lakes, fortunately favored, today to my Donghai Restaurant, I must also want to return happy. He was eloquent, first said a few obedient words, and then said: "The topic here, the topic of the essay is needless to say, about this martial topic, as long as you can lift this iron pendant, there is no limit to the method, you can give it a try!" ”

"That is, it's okay to use tools?" Su Lian said.

"Absolutely. This Su Shaoxia, may I ask which tool you want to use? Qiu Chuanli smiled and said, "This tool must be available today, and a few people must not go out by themselves." What kind of tools do you need, please explain to the contemptible people. ”

"It's not that troublesome, you can go and get it now," Su Lian said with a smile......

"Oh?" Qiu Chuanli said strangely: "I don't know what kind of tool it is?" Do you have it? ”

"Of course you have ......" Su Lian smiled: "You go find a sturdy wooden stool, a little higher than this iron pendant, it's fine." ”

"A wooden stool?" Qiu Chuanli was a little incredulous.

"Yes......" Su Lian said: "A wooden stool is enough!" ”

"Okay, Su Shaoxia, please wait a minute......" Qiu Chuanli explained to Xiaomei, and Xiaomei hurriedly went.

Soon Xiaomei moved a wooden bench back, but she followed a lot of people, walked to the door, looked around, should be a guest in this building, heard the wind, ran over to join in the fun.

"Hey, there's a lot of people. You can't do it, don't play if you can't do it, so many people are watching, it's embarrassing if you don't get it right......" Ma Xiuying walked up to Su Lian and said in a nervous whisper.

Su Lian didn't answer, smiled slightly, put the wooden stool next to the iron block, picked up the iron rod on the ground, inserted one end into the hole ring on the top of the iron block through the wooden stool, and reached out to weigh the weight slightly on the other end of the iron rod.

"Can we start?" Su Lian asked Qiu Chuanli.

"Yes, anytime." Qiu Chuanli was also nervous.

Su Lian took a deep breath, gathered his hands, pinched the iron rod, and pressed it down. The wooden bench was stressed, and when it creaked, the iron at the other end rose in response.

The crowd of onlookers, Qiu Chuanli, Ma Xiuying, Zheng Shou and others all held their breath, and the scene was silent for a while. Su Lian's face was as usual, his breathing was even, and the weight of a thousand catties seemed to be like a feather to him.

Time is like flowing water, if it is slow, it is like fast. Everyone looked motionless, and when they saw Su Lian's expression as usual, they couldn't help but be surprised. Until Su Lian turned his head to look at Qiu Chuanli and asked, "Shopkeeper Qiu, how long has it been?" It should be about the same time......"

"Enough, it's long enough, it's already half a pillar of incense...... Qiu Chuanli said excitedly.

"Say it earlier, I've been on it for so long,......" Su Lian said with a smile. Slowly let go, and the iron was easily put down without making a sound.

"Good!" The crowd of onlookers didn't know who shouted, and immediately applauded, and applause burst on.

Su Lian put the iron rod away and looked at the wooden bench, which had been pressed out of a gap. Fortunately, Xiaomei brought a stool that was strong enough, otherwise the wooden stool would have fallen apart and cracked before it had just started.

"Su Shaoxia is really powerful! This martial arts question is considered to have been broken by you......" Qiu Chuanli said loudly: "I don't know this question, does the young man have the answer in his heart?" ”

"Yes, please bring a pen and paper ......," Su Lian said calmly.

Without waiting for Qiu Chuanli to explain, Xiaomei had already hurried out, took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone after a while, and asked the two of them to move a table to serve as a desk.

Su Lian picked up the brush, groaned slightly, dipped in ink, and wrote down a line of big characters, the font is vigorous, and the force penetrates the back of the paper, which is quite stylish.

"The South Passage, the North Passage, the North-South Passage leads to the North and the South." Qiu Chuanli read softly, turned his head and looked at the upper link on the wall again, read it up and down together, clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Wonderful, this is really absolute......

The crowd applauded again. Qiu Chuanli said loudly: "Su Shaoxia, congratulations!" Not only have you broken the problem of my Donghai Restaurant, but you are also the first person to break this problem since the opening of our store......" paused, and then said: "From today, within three days, Su Shaoxia can enjoy food and wine worth less than 100 taels on the third floor of my store!" ”

"Is this true?" It was not Su Lian who was overjoyed, but Ma Xiuying.

"Naturally, take it seriously. There is no lie in saying this in front of everyone! Qiu Chuanli said: "And Su Shaoxia can bring his friends with him, as long as the cost is less than 100 taels of silver, it will be free!" ”

"Wow, a hundred taels, you can eat a lot of delicious things......" Ma Xiuying said with an intoxicated face: "Su Lian, you must bring me...... Hee-hee"

"Brother Su makes a move, every time it is surprising and admirable, I really don't accept it......" Zheng Shou also smiled.

"Although this piece of iron is heavy, but with my method, Brother Zheng can also lift it, do you believe it or not?" Su Lian said with a smile.

Zheng Shou was surprised, looked down at the iron, shook his head and said, "I still won't try, but I believe what Brother Su said......"

Ma Xiuying also jumped over at this time, and said with interest: "What about me, Su Lian, can I lift it?" ”

Su Lian shook his head and said, "You, I don't know, if you can pull the three-stone bow, you can also lift it......"

"That's it, it seems to be ......" Ma Xiuying hesitated for a while, and then said: "But I'll practice for a while, I'll try again next year, hum ......" She geared up and cheered herself up.

At this time, Qiu Chuanli came over again and said to Su Lian: "Su Shaoxia, it's still early now, if you are not in a hurry, can you go to our fourth floor to have a look?" ”

"What's on the fourth floor? Is it more fun than this? Ma Xiuying looked forward for a while, raised her head and asked.

Qiu Chuanli smiled and said: "There are also civil and military questions on the fourth floor, but the difficulty is a little higher than here...... and then said: "But the scenery on the fourth floor is better, and you can enjoy the cost of less than two hundred taels, and the food is made by the famous chef of our store on the spot, which can be described as a local ......."

Ma Xiuying was moved when she heard this, looked at Su Lian, and said, "How is it?" Su Lian, let's take a look...... Take a look......" She was so excited that she almost reached out and pulled Su Lian.

Dinner had already arrived, and it was still early and he was not very hungry, so Su Lian thought for a while and said, "Okay, then go and see ......."

Qiu Chuanli was also very happy, after all, this matter was also a good talk, and it was of great help to the reputation of Donghai Restaurant, so he waved his hand and said excitedly: "Okay, please come with me......

Su Lian and a few people followed Qiu Chuanli to the fourth floor, and the others also wanted to follow, but they were not qualified, if they spent an extra hundred taels of silver, they could go up, but just to have a good time, it was really not worth it, so they had to give up.

But when I went up to the fourth floor, there was another group of guests waiting on the spot. After all, it is a fortunate thing to solve the problem for the first time, once the wind spreads, the whole restaurant is already boiling, and those who can join in the excitement naturally do not want to miss it.

The reception woman on the fourth floor has changed again, she calls herself Xiangyun, in her twenties, mature and plump, graceful, but it is a different charm.

"Su Gongzi is good! Please come with me......" This Xiangyun has a bewitching temperament and a bewitching voice, which makes people feel ripples and intoxicated when they hear it.

Ma Xiuying was very wary of this woman, grabbed in front of Su Lian, and took the lead to follow.

Several people followed Xiangyun to a private room near the corridor. This box is the same size as the one on the third floor, and there are no tables or chairs. A wooden frame is placed in the room, about half a person high, and a square wooden strip is hung on the top of the wooden frame, which sways from side to side, and seven copper coins are hung under the wooden strip, which are neatly aligned. As the wooden strips swayed, the copper coins also swayed, striking from time to time to make a tinkling sound.

There is still a couplet hanging on the wall: the moon under the water is the moon in the sky

Qiu Chuanli was about to speak, when another delicate maid suddenly came in and whispered a few words beside him. Qiu Chuanli was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly confessed to Su Lian and the others: "Su Shaoxia, I am in a bit of a hurry, I need to leave for a while, sorry, sorry......" He snorted, turned around and hurried away.
