Chapter 61: The Thousand Paper Cranes
Penglai will!
Tang Ruyan looked at those three words a little dazed, originally thought it was a friend meeting, but as a result, he didn't expect that there was such a domineering inn name. No wonder Xiaohu is said to be the best inn in the imperial city, just looking at the domineering name of the people, it is indeed a little interesting.
"Yan'er, shall we go in?" Jiahe was very gentlemanly to ask Tang Ruyan about her meaning, and saw her frowning slightly, thinking that she didn't like it here.
"Get in." Coming to such a high-end place, it would not be her style not to go in. As an agent, she has no friends, and the only man who accompanies her gives her the nickname 'Foodie'.
The two of them were in front, and Xiaohu entered the Penglai Club with Yuantai and Guo Jing in the back. As soon as he entered the imperial city, he met Guo Jing, who had returned after dealing with things, and naturally went along.
"This Penglai will be the most high-end inn in the imperial city, of course, the price is also first-class, all, people who can come to this kind of place are either rich or expensive, and there are many ladies with other intentions who come in and out of here, in order to find a good husband." Xiaohu's tone was full of disdain, and he gestured with his eyes to the group of young ladies in the inn who were sitting together in twos and threes, dressed up in flowers, and they were looking at Jiahe who suddenly appeared at the moment.
Not to mention that Tang Ruyan didn't feel it yet, when Xiaohu mentioned it, she suddenly felt dozens of vicious eyes on her! What is a calamity without a cause? Here it is.
deliberately slowed down, Tang Ruyan didn't want to become the public enemy of those women, although they were completely wrong, but Jiahe's love for her was obvious even to fools.
Echoing the gaze of a few women who didn't know what to do, Tang Ruyan felt infinite sorrow for them in his heart, women should be self-reliant, and it is the sorrow of their lives that they spend all their thoughts on men.
It's a pity that they don't understand, just like Tang Ruyan can't understand them.
Facts have proved that no matter what era or time, some evils exist everywhere in society. Here, for example, it had been some time since a group of five people entered the inn, but no one came out to entertain them, and the shopkeeper at the counter only raised his eyelids when they entered the door, and then continued to bow his head and knock on his abacus, without the slightest intention of taking the initiative to entertain them.
Yuantai's face was a little dark, he walked to the front of the counter and knocked on the counter, "Shopkeeper, what are the signature dishes in your store?" ”
Xiao Er behind the counter glanced at Yuan Tai at this time, but the words behind him were even more angry, "There are no recipes in this store, and we never report recipes, and the people who come to our store are regular customers." ”
It is clear that the dog looks down on people.
Xiaohu couldn't stand it anymore, so he resolutely stood beside Yuan Tai, held his chin high, reported the names of more than twenty dishes in one breath, and despised Xiao Er with his small figure, "After half a pillar of incense, please send those twenty dishes to Tianzi No. 1." ”
After saying it handsomely, without waiting for Xiao Er's reaction, Xiao Hu had already turned around and took the lead to walk upstairs.
"Well, wait a minute." Xiao Er finally reacted and hurriedly shouted: "Tianzi No. 1 already has guests." ”
"Then Tianzi No. 9." Xiaohu snorted coldly, naturally understanding what kind of guests Tianzi No. 1 had, and he didn't dwell on it at the moment.
Xiao Er nodded, "Okay, after half a pillar of incense, the dishes will be served, and the guest officer will take care of himself." ”
In the surprised eyes of the four people, Xiaohu walked proudly in the front. Everyone had some questions in their hearts, but no one asked, and they had long said that those who could come to this place were either rich or expensive.
Tang Ruyan was still a little curious, after all, Xiaohu was a runaway child, and he was not afraid of being seen by acquaintances if he acted so flamboyantly here?
Thinking about her mind all the time, Tang Ruyan didn't notice that Youdao's eyes had been staring at her from the moment she stepped into the inn.
"I can't see that you're pretty knowledgeable." On the third floor, there were few people left, and Guo Jing couldn't help but speak.
Xiaohu glanced at Guo Jing, which means: rare and strange.
Tang Ruyan didn't have the heart to listen to their bickering, her eyes kept on the surrounding design, to be honest, no matter how exquisite the design was, it couldn't get into her eyes, but - in such an era, an inn could do this, it really had to amaze her.
From the downstairs, I couldn't see any difference in this closed small building, but after going upstairs, I found that I could clearly see everything downstairs from the upstairs.
The technical means are really not ordinary, and they have to compete with the high-tech of the era in which she lives.
Turning his head to look at Yuan Tai, he saw that there was also doubt in his eyes. It's the first time he's seen this kind of design, hey, it seems that this is an era of loopholes, shouldn't many people who have suffered oolong incidents be left in this hellish place, right?
The group entered the innermost room, and the door plaque read: Tianzi No. 9 four free and easy ink-colored characters.
A round table was placed in the middle, covered with a white printed tablecloth, and then on top - hey, Tang Ruyan couldn't help but sigh again, it turned out to be a rotating table, should it be so ruthless.
Originally suspicious, she was almost certain that the designer here had the same thing as her.
"Xiaohu, how long has this inn been established?" Tang Ruyan asked casually, seeing that the furnishings inside were still very new, it shouldn't be long.
"It's only three months, but in just three months, it has already compared the most famous inn in the original imperial city, and coming here has almost become a status symbol." The lake smacked its lips.
Everywhere it is, it seems, the guy has a good mind, and knows how to exploit the indelible vanity of man in order to get the best out of himself. "Everyone has vanity, and it is inevitable that this inn can become popular."
The four of them each found a place to sit down, and only Yuan Tai was still standing on the side, with a face that was loyal to his master.
"Let him sit down too, I don't like people watching me when I'm eating, it will make me sick to my stomach." Tang Ruyan pointed at Yuantai and said softly.
Jiahe originally had this meaning, "Yuantai, sit down and eat together, didn't I say that you don't have to be rigid outside?" ”
Yuantai didn't move, Jiahe said it again, and then hesitantly sat next to Guo Jing, but he looked very uncomfortable.
Several people chatted about some boring topics, Tang Ruyan focused on the layout of the inn, and when she saw the big paper crane in the corner of the house, the expression on her face froze instantly.
"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?" Jiahe, who was sitting next to him, first saw her abnormality and asked worriedly.
Tang Ruyan stood up and walked towards the corner, a pair of eyes staring at the paper crane that was about to fly, and his body trembled slightly.
How so? How so? This can't be, this can't be. There was a voice in the bottom of my heart desperately shouting, how could there be such a coincidence? It must have been a hallucination in her eyes.
Walking in front of the paper crane, staring at the familiar and unfamiliar paper crane for a long time, until the warm liquid in his eyes blurred his vision, Tang Ruyan raised his head, let the tears flow backwards, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Tang Ruyan, you are really incorrigible!
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiaohu walked up to Tang Ruyan, just saw the tears in her eyes, and asked in a whisper at a loss.
Tang Ruyan reached out and took down the thousand paper cranes, put them in his hand and looked at them, and put them back in their original positions. Turning his head, his eyes were already clear, "It's okay, but I suddenly thought of someone, but that person is dead." ”
Yes, that person must be dead, must be dead.
I see! Everyone was relieved that it was human nature to remember the deceased.
