Chapter 214: The big man didn't dare to be
I didn't think that it would be so elegant and atmospheric, just a meal, there was no need to spend so much money Qiu Xiaobai was secretly frightened, a maid in colorful clothes walked up the steps first, her language was clear, soft and delicate Qiu Xiaobai introduced the guests behind her: "Hello, this is our celestial guest, Mr. Qing." Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. ”
This is an old man, with white hair and a shawl, wearing a dark purple long suit, slightly torn, quite amiable, with white eyebrows and beards, and he has three points of spring breeze if he doesn't smile, and his smile is even more intimate.
"Well, young man, you just need to accompany me to a table, and your affairs will be easy to handle." The old man's eyebrows and eyes opened slightly, and his whole wrinkled cheeks smiled, and his words were soft, as if he was still negotiating.
Mr. Qing is not Qing Liu'er's grandfather It seems that his age is somewhat similar, Qiu Xiaobai secretly thought to himself, and he already knew it in his heart, maybe he just wanted to test himself
"Are you the big man in this city, no matter how you look at your clothes, it doesn't seem to look like it" Wang Defa was full of vigilance, he stepped forward and asked with a questioning speech, faintly meaning to protect Qiu Xiaobai.
"The big guy doesn't dare to be a big man, it's just that the old man happens to have some connections that can help your second lieutenant." The old man waved his hand, not in the slightest annoyance at the unkindness of his tone, but smiled faintly with a disapproving expression.
"Rest assured, my husband, our purpose is to ensure the safety of every guest, and we will not count you and your friends." The little maid bowed slightly and smiled sweetly, and explained.
"It is really a blessing for a kid to be lucky enough to have the same table to eat with an old gentleman with a chivalrous heart, and the boy didn't dare to refuse when he invited him, but I don't know if I can bring my brother to drink together" Qiu Xiaobai's heart was a little spacious, maybe this is a test, and when facing the test, you can take Wang Defa to take care of each other.
"I'm sorry, but we're only allowed to share a table with two people in our flowery penthouse, but rest assured, this lady will arrange another table downstairs to make him happy. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. The little maid shook her head slightly, turned to Wang Defa and gestured to invite him downstairs, but the latter could only nod obediently.
The breeze in the attic was intoxicating, and the old man smiled at the starry sky, and then flicked his cuffs and said, "Little brother, please inside." ”
This smile seemed to contain a lot of deliberation, Qiu Xiaobai couldn't think through it, so he had to nod stiffly, and then bent down to invite him in.
"Let's do as we always have," the old man ordered, and he took the teapot and filled it with two cups.
The fragrance of tea is overflowing, the fragrance is fragrant, the buds and leaves are tightly wrapped, and the color is bright and clear, and it is really the best tea.
The two maids bent down and bowed, and then busied themselves with preparations.
"Sir, this place is too luxurious, if we really want to eat, we really don't need to choose such a restaurant with a huge cost." Qiu Xiaobai looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, marveled at the luxury here, and naturally did not pay attention to the old man's words.
It would be nice if the silver coins in the backpack could pay the bill, Qiu Xiaobai looked at his slightly dilated pupils, and said with a look of shame: "I'm not afraid of the old gentleman laughing, I hit you off at first sight, and we had a good conversation, so I should pay for you to have a drink and have a good meal." It's just that I have no money all over my body, and I can't afford the cup of tea you are holding at this time, and I'm afraid that I will sweep the floor and go out with you later. ”
This place is definitely a place where only local tyrants can come, not to mention the calligraphy and paintings hanging all over the house for the time being, even a few pots of fragrant flowers and plants are placed in the corner, Qiu Xiaobai feels that it is worth a lot, he only knows that an ordinary piece of equipment is fifty copper plates, and a weapon is only one hundred and ten silver coins, but here, it is an existence that he dare not imagine.
The old man didn't reply, looked at him for a long time, smiled at him, and poured tea into a few porcelain cups in the tray by himself, and then handed a cup of tea to Qiu Xiaobai.
fell in Qiu Xiaobai's eyes, naturally he thought that the old man was disappointed, he stayed where he was, his face turned red for a while, it was naturally too late to leave at this moment, it was better than eating an overlord meal and being dragged out.
As soon as he was about to speak, he saw the old man get up, pat him on the shoulder, hand over the silver one by one, and said softly: "Child, you don't have to worry, just put away your uneasiness, I said to invite you to dinner, naturally I invited." ”
The old man spoke proudly, quite proudly, giving Qiu Xiaobai a feeling of great honor to be treated by him.
Since the old man still didn't understand what he meant, then okay leave it to fate, Qiu Xiaobai nodded and didn't say anything, it's a big deal that the two of them will be thrown out together later.
The two maids were very fast, and the round table was full of dishes in just a quarter of an hour, with a complete set of dishes, a full eighteen dishes, almost all kinds of delicacies and seas that Qiu Xiaobai knew, and then a few boxes of steaming xiaolongbao came up, which was really extravagant.
It seems that I can't do it if I don't eat it, so many delicacies, even if they have no attributes, are worth trying.
Qiu Xiaobai made up her mind, she would not be restrained, and she would not regret being beaten if she ate too much.
He got up and picked up the wine jug, filled a glass to the old man, and added a glass to himself, bent down his hands and saluted: "Thank you for taking care of the old gentleman today, so that the younger generation can have this blessing and be able to eat so many delicacies." ”
The old man sat down in his seat, lightly touched his glass, and then waved his hand again and again, motioning for him to sit down.
"You're welcome, let's eat"
After the old man said this, he immersed himself in eating, and occasionally had leisure, lifted the wine jug and filled it with a glass, and drank it all, which never stopped.
Seeing that he was swept by the wind and clouds, he ate quickly, and the whole person was like a wolf and a tiger, and he had a great situation of letting go of eating. Qiu Xiaobai pinched her nose stupidly, shook her head secretly, and had to be guarded.
I can't prevent it, I don't have to eat anymore, Qiu Xiaobai is also an authentic foodie, how can I allow others to take the lead in front of food
After a moment of hesitation and a moment of losing the opportunity, he was not discouraged, he was angry at the moment, and hurriedly picked up the large and small cage buns on the side, and then made a move to eat Haisai, constantly changing between his mouth and hand, and in a moment a drawer of buns disappeared, and his mouth was full.
During the old man's appreciative smile at him, he also used a trick to grab the vegetables with a thousand hands, only to see the chopsticks like the wind, the plates kept piling up, but the chopsticks were only a pair, and finally the chopsticks stopped and fell, Qiu Xiaobai secretly counted, stunned on the spot, no more, no less, a full eighteen smooth and bright plates.
Awesome, brother, Qiu Xiaobai was dumbfounded, he couldn't speak, the old man took a handkerchief, wiped it, picked up the wine jug and poured two sips, and then smiled at Shan Yi and said: "Young man, the old man has always thought that only he eats vigorously, but he doesn't want you to be a fast person, it's really not ordinary." ”
"Don't dare to be, the old gentleman's strange things have opened my eyes, it's really high" Qiu Xiaobai said politely, thinking that when he was in the arena, he was also known as a person who had no friends when he ate.
"The dinner table is like a battlefield, how can you be pretending to be polite, but I am still very optimistic about you, young man." The old man walked backwards, his face was shiny, got up and walked out, standing on the railing and looking at the scenery.
Qiu Xiaobai made two cups of tea and followed. I've almost eaten the meal, so let's get down to business
The autumn breeze is cool, and the noon is not so hot, facing the river, weeping willows, and fishermen driving small boats to cast nets to catch fish.
"There aren't many people in the younger generation who are as helpful as you and don't want anything in return." The old man took the teacup, looked at the vista and said in a deep voice.
"Don't hide it from the old man, I can't stand others praising me, and how can I say that I don't want to reciprocate" Qiu Xiaobai touched his nose and smiled at him: "When the time comes, old man, you will be a real chivalrous person." ”
"Hehe, there are not many people who can say that I am chivalrous." The old man seemed to like his honesty, stroked his beard, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile.
The tea in the cup had been drunk, and the old man looked into the distance.
It's time to come.
