Chapter 13: Old man Zhang, the storyteller
The two of them slowly walked to the second floor, and found that there were several empty tables that were empty, so they sat down on one of them, looking at the menu on the table.
On the other side, there was a white-haired old man, also thin, with a lot of wrinkles on his face, who was talking passionately, sitting at a table, holding a thick black wooden block in his hand.
Below, there was a large group of people gathered there, listening to it with relish, there were quite a few literati, and there were also some men in ordinary clothes, who did not look like literati, but probably did some small business.
They were all there, listening happily, and it seemed to be very interesting, some of them had benches and chairs under them, and some of them were standing there, but they didn't feel tired.
There were quite a few people sitting in front, and if the people in the back wanted to see clearly, they could only stand, stretching their necks and looking ahead.
Qin Feng didn't know what storytelling was all about, he came here by himself, but he wanted to eat and drink, so he looked at the menu there.
Braised fish three taels of silver, steamed chicken five taels of silver, braised goose six taels of silver, hot and sour potatoes, one tael of silver, fried lettuce, one tael of silver.
A small portion of peanuts is half a tael of silver, a plate of side dishes is 50 Wen, there is no charge for ordinary water wine, and the best water wine is charged at the original price, see the menu for details.
It's too fucking expensive, just one dish costs one tael of silver, that's a lot of food!
Slammed the table hard, it's really hateful! No wonder this boss looks at himself with contempt, this thing is too expensive, it's just a money grab!
It was very loud, but not many of the people who were listening to the story over there were looking back, they were all listening attentively, and some were clapping their hands, and the sound was also loud.
Qin Fu also understood something, the old man thought that the food here was too expensive, and he used to be like this.
I came here at night, and I felt that I couldn't express the feelings in my heart, so I listened to the book here, and I listened to it, the xylophone played by the beauty Xiaohong has a different flavor.
Take a look at your lord and know that he is still so reluctant to spend money. said: "Why don't you order a stir-fried lettuce, a peanut, and two side dishes!" It's enough for the two of us. ”
Of course he also heard it, Ah Fu meant, this is to save money for himself, but just that little thing, he can eat it alone.
It's still noon, and there's still a lot of time before dinner, and I have a lot of money on me anyway.
It just so happened that a shopkeeper in gray-brown clothes also ran quickly from the stairs and walked over with a smile.
"Lord Qin, do you still have two side dishes? The drink doesn't cost money, if you really only need those two, the boss said it can be free, after all, you are the old master here! ”
Qin Feng obviously felt that the second child in this shop was too, and he came to laugh at himself, a dog who helped others work, and he still mocked himself like this, he really couldn't stand it.
"Give me a copy of the above, Lao Tzu is rich, I don't want to eat those two side dishes today, and I don't want you to send them, anyway, I am rich."
I pointed out the ones above, and threw the menu to the shopkeeper, which is really a dog's eye and a low person! Thinking that his relatives are the prime ministers of the dynasty, he can slander people like this!
He also took out two ingots of silver from his pocket, and there were also more than a dozen taels, and threw them to the shopkeeper, just like throwing bones to a dog.
The shopkeeper is also quick-eyed, he has been mixing here for a few years, and he also remembers those dishes, and he also catches the menu and the two heavy silver.
hurriedly stepped back, also facing the two of them, and said, "Lord Qin, wait a while, those delicacies will come over immediately, I will immediately order the chef to do it, you wait a while."
When I was about to reach the stairs, I quickly turned around and ran downstairs, which was really worthy of doing it for so long.
It's still angry to think about it, it's such a cheap dish, and it costs a few taels to sell for a few taels, if it's in an ordinary restaurant, it is estimated that you can make a few.
Qin Fu was a little angry, this little second was obviously laughing at the master, and he was too self-conscious, just a dog, a miscellaneous dog.
The relatives of the old lady don't look down on the old man, so it's just that, even this kind of goods dare to do this.
Said: "Master don't need to be so angry, in fact, he didn't mean to do that, maybe it was a slip of the tongue, when you came here before, you just ordered two side dishes, and then drank free wine, listening to books and piano here."
Qin Feng didn't believe it, he would be so cowardly, honestly making two side dishes here, and then making a pot of wine here, listening to books and listening to the piano.
Isn't that the same as the old man? In his own time, even the old man may not necessarily listen to the old man, let alone himself.
There are still all kinds of voices over there, including the voice of the old man talking about the book, and the sound of people next to him, laughing and talking, but they can't hear it clearly, and they don't care about what is happening here.
Suddenly, the old man lifted the black wooden block, his eyes became very energetic, and he slapped it downward, and the huge sound came out, startling the people around him!
"Don't talk so much, just be quiet for a while! There are also new guests outside, and I have to let everyone hear me when I talk here, so I can be quiet and give Lao Zhangtou this face. ”
Those people were a little worried at first, and in his words, they all turned their heads to look behind them, and sure enough, there was a new guest.
There should be someone who knows Qin Feng and the housekeeper Qin Fu, but they pretended not to know each other, continued to turn around, looked at Old Man Zhang, and waited for him to tell a wonderful story.
The housekeeper Qin Fu also felt something unusual, although the master had amnesia, but many of these people had seen the master, and they were often with the master, chanting poems and lyrics, why did they all look like strangers?
He didn't say it directly, he just wrote down those people in his heart, and if he said it, he would really be furious.
A man in a red robe with a high crimson hat on his head.
The face is also quite white, and the demeanor is elegant, and he should be a scholar.
Said: "Old man Zhang, you always talk about these old things, can you say something else, that is, the great achievements of Tang Zong and Song Ancestor are too far away from us, and now it is different." Speaking of Dajin's attack on our Song Dynasty, those barbarians in the north are too unreasonable. ”
A man dressed in blue-brown was too, standing up, wearing a black hat on his head.
Said: "It's that the Jin people invaded my country's land, and my Great Song can only be chased and beaten, can't you say something recently?" Inspire our people to resist the Jin people together. ”
Just those two people, singing and harmonizing, more people talked about it, and they all asked him to talk about the things between Song and Jin, and the Jin people are really hateful! Tear up the treaty between the two countries and invade our land.
Qin Feng didn't expect that the old man should be sitting in the innermost, outside, but there were a lot of people standing, how could he feel that a guest came in, could it be that he reprimanded the shopkeeper, so he was heard by his keen ears.
It doesn't seem very scientific! The old man was also sixty years old, and his ears were so flexible that he could speak better than a young man's.
