Chapter 17: The Quatrain of the Ages Shows Its Might
Liu Fei doesn't want to see Ah Ren anymore now, not to mention his thick skin, he is so close to the beauty he likes, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, there is no way, in order to have more opportunities to get along with beautiful women, he can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Su Qing is a kind-hearted girl in the end, seeing Ah Ren teasing Liu Fei like this, she couldn't help but whisper to dissuade: "Ah Ren, you are really, it is not easy for anyone to make money, why do you have to go there to eat, I heard that it is very expensive there!"
"Heh, I actually spoke for that little white face, I don't see how to serve!"
Ah Rense wanted to stretch out the "Lushan Hand" again, but was knocked out by Su Qing, and said with a little coquettishness: "Shaohu in broad daylight!"
"Oh, listen to you, it's okay at night, right? You see I'm really, I'm impatient, okay, it's night, it's all up to you!"
"You!"
Su Qing suddenly became angry: "If you say that you are the second cheekiest in the world, no one will dare to call you the first!"
"Yes!" Ah Ren said unconvinced.
"Who is it?"
"Just that guy just now, I don't look at what he looks like, I still want to think about our family, I think he is thicker than me!" Ah Ren pretended to be full of vinegar and said.
"Poof!"
Su Qing couldn't help but smile and said, "You, you are really better than a monkey, you can't hide anything from you, and you deliberately took revenge on others when you went to the Pearl Hotel?"
Ah Ren said with a nonchalant look: "Just him, he doesn't have this qualification yet, I just want to try the dishes there, what's the matter, is he guilty?"
Su Qing looked at Ah Ren with a doting face, full of love, and only smiled after a while: "It's really like!"
"Like whom? Tell me, is it a star?" asked Ah Ren impatiently.
"Like a scoundrel, hehe!"
After Su Qing finished speaking, he hurriedly got up and ran away with a smile.
"Okay, you stinky girl, you even dare to tease me, look at me, "what's in your sleeve" for me!" "Ah Ren used the strange bird's housekeeping mastery, and the result can be imagined, with a strange bird, the mantra is very loud, and it is useless.
Lin Ya watched the two of them frolicking there with envy, even fools could see it. Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums, "These two people are really two little guesses, childhood sweethearts, if you can have such a love from childhood to adulthood, how good it would be!"
After a short while, Liu Fei really came back, and when Ah Ren saw Liu Fei rushing back, he lowered his voice and said to Su Qing: "It seems that this Liu Fei still doesn't give up, the toad wants to eat swan meat, see how I clean him up!"
Ah Ren looked like he was sharpening his knife, and Su Qing, who was watching it, was relieved for a while, and said in his heart: It seems that Ah Ren still cares about me very much!
"Don't go too far!"
After Su Qing left such a sentence for Ah Ren, he took a few steps and walked side by side with Lin Ya.
Pearl Hotel is located in the best location in the city, the floor is not high, only 5 floors, but the area is large enough, each floor has his characteristics, the simplest is the first floor, mainly Chinese food, by the way to receive some wedding banquets.
The second floor is the theme of Western food, all European decoration, the style is very elegant, at a glance you know that a lot of money has been spent, and several top pianists in China have been invited to sit down, and the guests can also hear the elegant sound of the piano while eating, which is really wonderful.
The third floor is built a lot of ancient buildings, the watchtower in the building is ringing, resplendent and splendid, at first glance it seems to be really in the ancient building, there are twelve cooks on the third floor, all kinds of dishes will be done, the food used, are ancient utensils, even the guests who go to eat have to change into ancient clothes, in order to integrate into this big environment, the same way, the price of dining is also more expensive.
The layout of the fourth floor is similar to that of the third floor, but it can be seen that the historical atmosphere created by this floor is hundreds of years earlier than that of the third floor, mainly in the heroic style as the main route, and the people who can go up to the fourth floor must have a certain literary background.
As long as one of the people in the group who go up to the fourth floor can pass the level, they can all go upstairs to eat, and there is a limit of dozens of people at a time. I heard that everyone who has eaten the dishes on the fourth floor will be full of despair about the real food, and there is one of the most exaggerated, after going to the fourth floor of the pearl, he actually did not eat for a week, just to reminisce about the wonderful and infinite dishes, it can be seen that the fourth floor has indeed spent a lot of effort to attract tourists. However, if you can't pass the test, then I'm sorry, no matter how dignitary you are and how rich you are, you will not be accepted.
This is also the reason why the Pearl Hotel can become popular, and many tourists from other provinces come here just to be able to eat on the fourth floor. It's a pity that there are only a few tourists who can carp through the dragon gate and enjoy the special dishes on the fourth floor.
The more you can't get it, the more you want to get it, this is the general psychology of people, and Pearl Hotel is to firmly grasp this psychology of people in order to stand out.
As for the 5th floor, the Pearl Hotel has been open for more than 10 years, and no guest has ever gone up to it, so the 5th floor is even more magical.
In short, among the four, except for Liu Fei, who was a little worried about the money in his pocket, the other three were still looking forward to this pearl and his party.
Walking into the Pearl Hotel, needless to say, the first floor eats Chinese food all day long, and it is rare to come to such a special place today to change the taste, so a few people don't want to go directly to the second floor.
When I came to the second floor, I didn't want to eat, but the second floor was full of guests, and there were about four or five tables in the waiting room. Forget it, let's move on.
As soon as I entered the third floor, I suddenly gave people a refreshing feeling, and two beautiful waiters wearing ancient costumes stepped forward to explain the rules of eating for several people.
Nima: It's really a big bully to eat and talk about the rules, but it's quite fresh.
"Are the guests dining on the third floor or on the fourth floor?"
The waiter asked the four of them after making an ancient blessing ceremony, and looked at Ah Ren's heart trembling, wow! It's really a good place, even the waiter can dress up so beautifully, it's really the right place.
Hearing this, Liu Fei looked at Su Qing and Lin Ya, and the two girls looked at Ah Ren with inquiring eyes, Su Qing quietly grabbed Ah Ren's arm after seeing Ah Ren's squinting eyes, and asked with an extremely gentle expression: "Ah Ren, what do you think?"
"Huh?"
Ah Ren came back to his senses, rubbed his arm, pretended to be nothing, and after asking all the conditions for going up to the fourth floor, he decided to go up and try it, and several other people were also curious, so they followed Ah Ren up to the fourth floor.
On the fourth floor, the first thing that catches your eye is a slightly empty house of ancient buildings, which has many desks, which are full of the four treasures of the study, all kinds of rice paper, brushes of different sizes, etc., full of poetry.
Next to each desk stood a pretty woman dressed elegantly, and the women were working on ink and paper for the guests who had broken through the fourth floor.
This mood, this creativity, is really meaningful, a few people thought so, slowly began to enjoy the wall full of calligraphy, painting and poetry, unconsciously walked towards the middle of the case, where there were a few kind old men, looking at a few people with a smile.
After a few people entered the door, Ah Ren didn't speak, and at this time Su Qing had no choice but to step forward and ask a few old men: "Hello, may I ask, if you want to eat on the fourth floor, what is the taste?"
An old man in the middle smiled and said: "Hehe, it's very simple, each of the four of us has a pair or poem, as long as you are all right, you can go in, do you want to try it?"
"Since you're here, then..."
Su Qing wanted to say give it a try, but before he finished speaking, he heard Ah Ren drink in a low voice, "Wait!"
Ah Ren stopped Su Qing slowly, and said to the old men in ancient costumes with gray hair: "You only know that we are examined, so how do I know if your level is enough?"
Oh, several old people were stunned when they heard this, the Pearl Hotel has been open for more than 10 years, and the rules of the fourth floor have been abided by for more than 10 years, although there are many who can't answer, but no one dares to challenge the rules here, even if it is those high-ranking officials and rich people, no one dares to do this, is this little ghost taking the wrong medicine?
A few old men, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all fixed their eyes on the old man in the middle.
In fact, it was not that several old men did not want to say it, but they did not know what to say. After a short silence, the old man in the middle, who was nearly seventy years old and looked more dignified, said with a smile: "This little friend, how are you going to play? The rules here have been maintained for more than ten years, and it is time to change;
The old man is obviously a watertight doer, who not only engages in individualism, but also makes the people around him feel that he is asking for their opinions.
"Everything is subject to Hu Lao's arrangement!"
I don't know what the identity of this old man Hu is, as soon as he opened his mouth, several other old men all nodded in agreement.
"Okay, little friend, please!"
Hu Lao was very kind and said to Ah Ren with a kind face.
Ah Ren was not hypocritical, nodded and said: "That's good, there is a way that the guest does not press the master, then I will follow your rules to make the question, I will make a pair, see if you can come up right, give you a quarter of an hour, if you can't come up, hehe, then we will go directly to eat, of course, the meal money is still given, I don't have more than I can out, just out of two, a pair, a couplet, what do you think?"
"Well, let's guess the guest's question, yes, it's also a challenge for us, and Tong Suo is very fair, very good, little friend, please!" the old man said very generously, and made a gesture of invitation.
Ah Ren learned the posture of the ancients clenching his fists, bowed heavily to several old men, and said, "Okay, then the younger generation will be ugly!"
found the tallest and most beautiful beauty in ancient costume to study ink for him, Ah Ren picked up the pen and wrote on the rice paper casually: Long long.
After writing, he put down the pen and said: "This is my upper link, let's take a look!"
The beautiful woman in ancient costume who grinded for it took this strange uplink to the desk of several old men with a face full of surprise.
A few old men looked at it, what kind of couplet is this, this is practicing calligraphy, right? It's simply unheard of, unseen, if it weren't for Hu Lao here, I'm afraid they would have jumped up a long time ago.
Hu Lao looked at Ah Ren's solemn expression, and carefully looked at the simple repetition of the seven words, and said in his heart: "Just by the good words written by the little ghost, you can see that this little guy has some strength, and according to his own experience and knowledge, he can't even tell what kind of font this is."
Hu Lao frowned, thinking to himself, this little friend's pair is not an ordinary simple artistic conception pair, but a single-word multi-tone pair, although it is a bit nonsensical, but I have to say that this pair has never been seen before.
Several other old men saw that Hu Lao was watching so seriously, and they all leaned over and thought about it carefully.
"Well, the little friend pair is also novel, is there anything else?
Hu Lao is the one who has seen the scene, since this pair is unsolvable for a while, then look at what absolutes this little ghost has, maybe you will see the clue from the following pair.
Ah Ren saw Hu Lao's calm expression, and said in his heart: It seems that this can't stop him, no, it's going to be more difficult!
After thinking about it for a while, an eternal quatrain appeared in his mind, Ah Ren came to a big case, grabbed a big wolf pen, walked the dragon and snake, and wrote a few big characters very chic and handsome.
Several old men stood a little farther away, but only from the side, whether it was Ah Ren's posture and technique of writing, as well as a few big characters that fell on the rice paper, they praised at the same time: "What an elegant technique, such a chic word!"
After Ah Ren finished writing, he looked back again, very satisfied, and gently put down the pen and said to a few old men: "The kid is ugly, and I invite a few old adults to evaluate it!"
Several old men did not wait for the woman in ancient costume to bring the words, but all walked around to the desk in person and stared at the words for a long time.
"Smoke lock pond willow!"
