Chapter 40: The Second Floor of Lubi Pavilion

After the waiter left, Zhao Shuihe looked at the plate deducted by Zhao Haipeng, smiled slightly, and told the stunned me: "Don't you understand? Turn the plate over, call the plate drum in the Huogong language, indicate that there is something, and hit it three times with chopsticks, called three drums, which is similar to the ancient meaning of beating the drum at the yamen to sound grievances." The www.biquge.info chef went into the restaurant to make dishes, saying that they had something urgent to do and talked to the owner of the hotel. ”

"Then why do you have to make plates, not bowls?" I wondered.

"Nonsense!" the little girl said with a roll of her eyes: "Chopsticks knock on the bowl, that's for rice." ”

After Shui He explained to me, it made my surprise even greater, because I really couldn't imagine that the rules of the Five Organs Temple and the meaning of the fire work language were so complex and complex, and there were "rules" and "secrets" between the hands and feet. One movement and one stillness conveys so much information.

This time, I kind of understand why my "father" Huo Hailong was able to change from a cook to a spy of the Central Union, and the cook of the Five Organs Temple could even say to the waiter who served the plates?

After the waiter left, Zhao Haipeng did not forget to remind me: "The Hui family is now the largest 'handicap' in the 'Lu Cai Confucius Palace' of the Five Organs Temple, and on the territory of his family, if you want to see the old abbot of Hui Weiben, you have to work hard, and you can't be in a hurry." ”

"It's so troublesome to meet in person?" I was stunned and said, "Then are we sure we can borrow his ancestral kitchen knife?"

Zhao Haipeng smiled mysteriously at me, and then told me not to worry, he also said that the Hui family once owed Zhao Haipeng a big favor to his father, and this time let him pay it back, which is justified.

Looking at Zhao Haipeng's confident appearance, I was also a little relieved, but faintly I felt that the development of this matter was not normal. But it's not normal there...... I can't tell.

As I pondered, a middle-aged woman came out of the back kitchen of Lubi Pavilion, a slightly fat woman, but with a plump demeanor and a spotless straight black uniform. The jet-black hair is delicate and orderly, but I don't know why, but the sideburns on the back of her head are the same as Zhao Shuihe, only coiled with a chopstick, looking a little sour and casual.

The woman is very tasteful, extravagant and introverted, and the charm is still the same kind of taste, at first glance, she is a character who has seen the world.

After the woman walked up to me, she first looked at Zhao Haipeng, and then was a little surprised and tentative: "Zhao ...... Haipeng: You're not a soldier anymore?"

Zhao Haipeng raised his head, leaked a strange, somewhat embarrassed look, and responded: "He Zhibai, long time no see." ”

The woman's surprise and Zhao's embarrassment were both instantaneous, and then the two of them resumed their expressions like dead donkeys' faces and confronted each other.

He Zhibai took a chair, sat opposite Zhao Haipeng, and casually said in Huogong: "Wander around to beat the plate drum?"

Zhao Haipeng replied in the language of fireworks: "The red lantern is broken, looking for the old abbot." ”

He Zhibai was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then replied: "The abbot is in retreat...... There is joy in the detour. ”

Zhao Haipeng shook his head, then pointed at me and Zhao Shuihe, and sighed: "Three grasshoppers, in the cold after autumn, suffered from the yin disaster. ”

"Yin calamity?" He Zhibai was stunned for a while, and then asked directly, "What yin calamity?"

This time, Zhao Haipeng didn't answer in Huogong, he said helplessly in front of all of us: "A demon, after forty tribulations...... Demon Ancestor. ”

Silent...... There was a deep silence.

He Zhibai broke the silence first, she stood up and said to Zhao Haipeng: "Bring your friend upstairs, I'll go find the master, what's the matter, you tell him." ”

Zhao Haipeng nodded, and then followed He Zhibai's guidance and went up to the second floor of Lubi Pavilion.

The second floor of Lubi Pavilion is not a hotel and is not open to the public.

After we followed He Zhibai to the second floor, He opened a wooden door and let us go in and wait.

When I entered the inside, my eyes suddenly opened up, and I realized that there was a lot of life in this inconspicuous medium-sized hotel!

It turned out that the second floor of this Lubi Pavilion was a huge space, and the whole space was made into a constant temperature flower room by its owner.

In the greenhouse of hundreds of square meters, all kinds of vines and plants, lotus flowers and strange grasses are dotted among them, and the tables, chairs and benches inside, and the four treasures of the study room are all standing among the plants, as if these furniture ...... It's like being placed in a big forest.

Looking at this exquisite scene, not only me, but even Zhao Haipeng was surprised.

Lao Zhao looked around, and said to He Zhibai in surprise: "Old man Hui has played a new realm, I remember that he used to just like to plant flowers at home, but now he puts his home in flowers?"

He Zhibai smiled helplessly, and then asked Zhao Haipeng directly: "Haipeng, you are in a bad situation, looking for Master Hui, is it to borrow the kitchen knife of the Hui family to win?"

He Zhibai's "Prophet of Unknown" surprised me, but we came for the legendary ancestral kitchen knife, which is indeed the case.

Therefore, Zhao Haipeng nodded and said, "Sister Zhibai, that's what I came to mean." So please hurry up and find the old man, 100,000 is urgent, I can't afford to wait. ”

He Zhibai's face was not gentle, the woman withdrew the idlers left and right, and then told Zhao Haipeng: "Haipeng, you have a friendship with the Hui family, so I won't hide it from you, it can be said that you came at the wrong time." Because the Hui family ...... It's changed. ”

Listening to He Zhibai's words, I sighed in my heart, on the way to Texas, my lingering worries...... Is it really going to be cashed in?

As soon as Zhao Haipeng heard that the Hui family had "changed the sky", his expression immediately changed rapidly, and he immediately asked He Zhibai what had happened? What kind of change was this day?

He Zhibai told Zhao Haipeng in a calming tone as much as possible that a month ago, the old man of Hui Weiben had a stroke, and although he did not die, he was not happy.

The Hui family is considered a hero in the SD Lu Cai Confucius Palace, and there are many adults, so the internal factions are more complicated, the eldest son has no talent and no virtue, the second daughter has talent and no power, the third son has power but no money, and the old uncle has money and no surname. Each of these four snobs wants to take the lead, but none of them has the ability to swallow the other in one gulp.

Later, the four of them combined, and it was not a way to go on like this, so they made a compromise and made the stupidest boss a symbolic patriarch, and each divided the industry into a business scope, and everyone's well water did not interfere with the river water.

Among them, the second daughter got the shop north of the Yellow River, the third boy took the business south of the Yellow River, and the old uncle was in charge of import and export trade, leaving only the eldest son "Hui Heizhu", who won the false title of the patriarch of a family.

It can be said that this patriarch is very "virtual", except for the Lubige Hotel where the old man used to live, he has nothing left, nominally the chairman of the family, but in fact, even such trivial things as paying wages and buying raw materials have to be discussed with his sister.

To put it bluntly, Ya is just an ornament.
