Nangong Hong was satisfied, interested, and began to fight with Xiao Qi.

The two grandchildren had a lot of fun, and Liu Ruyue took the pen and ink and recorded the couplets they had on the side.

The record was in a hurry, and she didn't have much heart to ponder the meaning of these couplets, and when she had to send the two away, she was amazed that even though it was Nangong Hong, who had never heard of it in her previous life, the pair was also very exquisite.

That Xiao Qi is worthy of Hanlin, he can be right, and the occasional uplink can also stump Nangong Hong.

Packed up the tables and chairs,

But the old man did not give up, "No, no, no, I want a couplet." ”

"Why don't you match it today and eat it tomorrow?"

"No, I'm going to eat it now."

"But I just bought the store this morning, and I only purchased some daily necessities in the afternoon, which is being cleaned up, and now let me make twelve dishes, two pots of wine, and two desserts, which I really can't make." Liu Ruyue tried to reason with the old man.

She took a step back and let the old man see that the stools were all on the table and the floor that had not yet dried, "Or, after you put on the couplet, I will only cook three dishes today, and the rest of the wine and food, you can come at any time in the future, and I will make up for you."

But because this is not one table of ten couplets every day, there is no way to give you all of them for free, you can eat three dishes for free today, and after that, you will be counted as 50% off. ”

"Heh, the proprietress is quite confident in her cooking skills, if I don't like to eat, I won't come later, 50% off? You will spare me, and I will not come. The old man beckoned, and the little man behind him approached him.

"Sir."

"You go back, call Xiao Qi, and say that I have found something delicious."

"......" is already calling friends to dinner.

Liu Ruyue was very speechless, if it weren't for the fact that the old man was not dressed down, she would have suspected that he was here to eat and drink.

"Yes." The little guy turned around and was about to leave, but the old man pulled his sleeve, "I'll help the master in first." ”

"Master, you haven't had a couplet yet."

"Oh, lady, bring the pen."

Liu Ruyue took out the inkstone and brush that had written the couplet and had not yet dried and handed it to him.

The old man took the pen, and came to his senses, walked to the plank, and waved the pen.

Liu Ruyue wrote the couplet: If there are insects in the water, the water is turbid, if there are fish, the water is fishing, the water is water, and the rivers and lakes are Miaomiao

The old man's next couplet said: The wood is the wood under the wood, and the wood is the last wood, the wood, the pine, the cypress, and the forest

The old man's words, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, are much more atmospheric than Liu Ruyue.

The old man raised his head and straightened his chest, touched his beard triumphantly, and his eyes flashed with a look of begging for praise, "How is it?" ”

Who would care about these things with old children, Liu Ruyue boasted, "The old gentleman is right!" ”

After a word of praise, he gasped at the old gentleman, and threw the brush on the little guy, "What is this." ”

"I dare to say, I can get all the couplets you come up with." He leaned over and said with the same expression as if he was saying a secret, but he also kept a distance and said, "I'll tell you, if the food you cook is delicious, I will give you free couplets, so that not many people in the whole capital can match it." ”

Glancing at the old man's little servant, he did not show a weak or embarrassed expression in the old man's boasting, but was a little proud, it seems that what the old man said is not completely false.

But, when you're out and about, who knows if they're a gang of liars.

Liu Ruyue let the old man in, and simply opened the door on the other side, so that people could see that the store was still tidying up.

He took down all the stools on the table at the door, dried them, and stretched out his hand to invite the old gentleman to sit down.

"The old gentleman laughed, I opened the door to do business, and I didn't do learning, and I stumped everyone in the world, can I still get the name of a god of food in this restaurant? When the time comes, who will eat the food I cooked, so this couplet can't be too difficult, and it can't be too simple. ”

However, her words were exchanged for a sentence from the little man behind the old gentleman, "Long hair, short knowledge." ”

Liu Ruyue smiled in her heart, they took the bait, if they really have the ability and are literati with status in the capital, they can use his fame.

But she couldn't rush to beg him.

Now she doesn't even know who the other party's surname is, and it's not easy to ask directly, Liu Ruyue looked at the mouthy little guy with disgust, "Oh, what do you say?" ”

The little guy raised his chin proudly, "My master, but the great Confucian Nangong Yue ...... in the world"

What, this old man is Nangong Yue?

Even if Liu Ruyue didn't go out often in his previous life, he had heard of this person's name, and who in the world didn't want to worship under him to do his studies, and many officials in the court and the central government had been appointed by him.

She was so lucky that she met him before the restaurant opened?!

"My younger brother Nangong Hong."

"......" is a disease when he speaks and pants!

Liu Ruyue wanted to make a medicinal meal for this little guy to replenish qi, blood and lungs, and pour it into him.

Nangong Hong, sorry, she hasn't heard of it.

"What do you mean by that? Are you lonely and unheard, and you don't look down on my master? Do you think that at such an age, my lord still relies on his brother's name to cheat and cheat outside? ”

I haven't said anything yet, so you'll be done.

muttering in her heart, Liu Ruyue hurriedly made up for it, "I just came to the capital, I am not familiar with the place, and I have never heard of the pumpkin moon that the little brother just said." ”

The old man burst out laughing, and his smile was much more sincere than just now, "That is, no matter how good his knowledge is, he thinks that everyone in the world knows him, phew, sell his reputation." ”

"Huh." She didn't want to intervene in other people's affairs, so she had to laugh on the sidelines.

"Anyway, as long as you cook the dishes well, I will help you make a couplet, and you will say to the outside world that it is my Nangong Hong, if those students can't even match my couplet, they are not qualified to meet my brother." The old man pouted, his age did not affect his small nature.

Nangong Yue can't come, it's not bad to have Nangong Hong, as long as he is really Nangong Yue's younger brother, in fact, this trick is a gimmick.

Liu Ruyue looked at the two suspiciously, "Your name, is it useful?" ”

is enough to look like an ignorant little people.

Nangong Hong shook his head, "It's useful, of course it's useful, those scholars can't be right, it's right, they can't be right, they will go to ask someone in their family who has the ability to come to my couplet, hey, when the time comes, see how I fix those old guys." ”

"......" Is he involved in the love-hate relationship between the older gentlemen in the capital?

Liu Ruyue nodded suspiciously, "Okay, I'll believe you once, if you don't sit at ten tables every day, I will ask you when the time comes, and I will ask you to lose money." ”

"No, no, no, I'm famous!" As he spoke, Nangong Hong gasped, "The premise is that the food you cook is delicious, and if it's not delicious, I won't help you." ”

Liu Ruyue also wanted to take advantage of this shareholder style, and planned to inquire about his preferences, "What flavor of food do you like to eat?" ”

"Whatever you want, you can eat it if it's delicious, but if it's not delicious, it's too much in one bite."
