Chapter 132: Restaurant
The drizzle was continuous, like countless cow hairs, floating silently, floating.
As soon as the sting passed, the weather suddenly warmed up, the mountains and fields were green, the wicker strips pulled out new shoots, and the mountains were shrouded in light gauze-like rain and mist, fresh, moist, picturesque and beautiful.
The trunk of the Sycamore Sacred Tree in the center of Weiyang County is strong and powerful, and it looks like a boundless firework from a distance, bathed in sunlight.
Patin-like pale red leaves bloom on the branches, and most of the time, sunlight spills through the gaps, casting shadows on the ground.
Whenever the sycamore leaves turn red, it means that the sycamore sacred tree is about to bear fruit.
It also means that the Ming Feng Feast is about to begin.
Recruit relatives!
These two big words smashed into the hearts of many young and middle-aged talents in the rivers and lakes, making them excited.
The beauties on the national color and fragrance list, such as the Fengyuan Pavilion in Japan.
For all ambitious people in the rivers and lakes, this is definitely a fatal temptation, as long as you can enter the Fengyuan Pavilion, you can gain both wealth and wealth, it is not an exaggeration to say, you can fight for decades less!
Those who received the invitation to the Mingfeng banquet were moved, and those who did not receive it were depressed.
Not everyone is qualified to participate in this martial arts competition, only Wulin Junjie, who received the invitation from Fengyuan Pavilion, is eligible to participate in this feast.
Three days to go.
On February 14, the young heroes in the rivers and lakes gathered in Chaofeng Inner City, ready to participate in this much-anticipated competition to recruit relatives.
Chaofeng Inner City, the inner city of Weiyang County, Chang'an Prefecture, is also the place where the Wutong Sacred Tree and Fengyuan Pavilion are located, with a flow of people and a lively atmosphere.
Weiyang County as the most prosperous city in the northwest region of the Southern Ming Dynasty, in the inner city of Chaofeng, there are many restaurants and shops, and the green building with red sleeves is divided into a street alone, the traffic is smooth, and the guests are in an endless stream every day, so it is not lively.
I have to say that the Jin Merchants Gang is indeed very good at making money, Fengyuan Pavilion is one of the supporters behind the former, and the Jin Merchants Gang also reciprocated the favor and helped it build the first city of Northwest Commerce.
The monthly tax revenue of Weiyang County alone is an astronomical amount.
Although this is the territory of Nanming.
But the real person who said it was Fengyuan Pavilion.
Mingfeng's banquet and son-in-law made the entire Weiyang County lively, and the inner city of Chaofeng was already prosperous, although there was still a period of time before the meal, but any restaurant was already full of people.
Chen Yuyan finally found a table against the wall and sat down, ordered a few side dishes and drinks casually and ate them.
Listening to noisy conversations and eating a little wine, it is also pleasant.
Although there is nothing important, but you can also hear some interesting things from it, Chen Yuyan just eats and drinks like this, and before you know it, she has arrived at the meal. Gradually, there were more and more people in the restaurant, and the hall began to be lively.
"A few people, we really don't have a place in our shop, why don't you go and take a look elsewhere?" At this moment, the voice of the shopkeeper came from the door.
"Go elsewhere! Where else to go? At this time, someone said viciously, "I've been going around in a big circle in this place!" This is the last one, and none of them say there is no place! Can't we stand outside and eat? ”
"Shut up!" Another person's voice whispered, "This is Chaofeng Inner City, what are we here for, don't you know?" Honestly, don't get into trouble with me talking nonsense! ”
"Hmmm......"
The man was silent.
"Xiao Er, we don't want any good places, we just need a table to eat." scolded his subordinates and said to the shopkeeper with a pleasant face, "We don't want to monopolize it, can you find a place for us?" ”
"This ......" came the embarrassed voice of the shopkeeper at the door again, "Guest officer, it's really full, otherwise there is no reason to drive the guests outside?" ”
"Why don't you share a table with other guests?" Or you can wait here for a while. “
"That's fine." The man who spoke muttered for a moment and then replied.
"Hall Master, leave this matter to me!" Someone said there.
Originally, Chen Yuyan was sitting comfortably drinking and didn't notice this, but there was a sound of footsteps in his ears, and then with a snap, a piece of silver was thrown in front of Chen Yuyan.
Chen Yuyan frowned slightly, looked up, and saw a big man in short clothes standing beside him, looking at Chen Yuyan, pursed his lips, revealing a trace of disdain.
"Here's the money for you!" The big man said to Chen Yuyan, "Take the silver and leave quickly!" We used this table! ”
"This table is used? Why? ”
Chen Yuyan was not angry, drank wine, and said leisurely.
"Why?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a trace of anger flashed on his face, probably because no one had ever spoken to him like this before, he originally wanted to have a seizure, but when he thought of what this place was, what they were here for, he immediately suppressed the anger.
"That's it!"
He laughed grimly, stretched out his hand, pressed the silver ingot with his hand, wiped it on the table, and when he picked it up again, the silver ingot had turned into a silver cake.
A few diners around who watched the excitement shrank their necks slightly when they saw this scene, but with such a press, they quietly pressed the ingots into silver cakes, and with this palm power, this man has definitely stepped into the scene.
The location warrior can be regarded as a good hand in the northwest martial arts, and ordinary people can't be offended.
"What, is this enough?" The man looked at Chen Yuyan triumphantly and asked.
"Tut-tut......" Chen Yuyan smacked his lips, "Good silver, pressed into silver cakes, isn't this a waste, it's a pity." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the silver cake lightly, without looking at how hard Chen Yuyan tried, the silver piece that was pressed into a silver cake was directly clenched into a silver ball.
Seeing this, the big man's eyes immediately became solemn, and the surrounding spectators whispered, the silver was like a piece of dough in the hands of these two people, and it was round if it wanted to be round, and it was flat if it was flat.
"Friend, you really don't want to give up your seat?" Dahan looked at Chen Yuyan and asked in a deep voice.
"That's it?" Chen Yuyan threw the piece of silver in his hand and took it, "It's really not good!" With that, he slapped the silver nugget in front of the big man.
"Smack!" Chen Yuyan's hand was taken away and looked at it again, only to see that the piece of silver had been inlaid into the thick tabletop, and it was tightly fit, and it was exactly the same!
This table is made of fine wood, strong and hard, it is not difficult to slap the table in the face, and Dahan himself can easily do it, but like Chen Yuyan, it is difficult to inlay a whole piece of silver into this table without moving.
Seeing this scene, the sweat on the big man's forehead suddenly flowed, and he knew that he was today.
I'm afraid it's kicked to the iron plate!
But this is not the end, Chen Yuyan sighed again, "It's all you who made me angry like this, this good table has been made a hole, I'm here to eat, not to bad business." ”
Chen Yuyan said as she tapped the chopsticks in her hand casually on the table.
"Do!" There was a soft sound, "Smack!" The piece of silver jumped out of the table on its own, fell on the table, and rolled a few times.
Chen Yuyan pinched the silver in his hand, threw it back, and dropped it in front of the shopkeeper's table with great accuracy.
"Shopkeeper, you keep this money as compensation."
Seeing this scene, the sweat on the big man's face was heavier, which was much more powerful than the one Chen Yuyan pinched just now.
I used to press it with my hand, but I didn't even touch the piece of silver, and I knocked on the table with my chopsticks, and I actually pushed the silver out.
It seems simple, but it is a strong control of internal forces.
"Hmph, so that you usually have no one in your eyes! Now you've seen it, right? At that moment, a displeased reprimand came from behind the man.
The big man trembled, and hurriedly turned his head and arched his hand behind him.
"Hall Master."
I saw a slender and handsome young man standing behind the big man, and he snorted coldly at the big man:
"I'm just going to arrange other things first, so that you can come over in advance and find a place for lunch, and this kind of thing happened!"
"How many times have I told you, although you are my cousin, but this is not your confidence to do mischief, you used to bully the weak, but this time you have met the iron plate? Go back and get ten clean boards as punishment, if you commit it again next time, you look good! ”
"Yes, yes, thank you." When the big man heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hugged his fists again and again to thank him.
"Don't back down yet!" The young man snorted coldly and shouted at the man.
"Yes...... the man quickly stood up and stood behind the young man.
The young man looked at Chen Yuyan, smiling, gentle and elegant, looking very kind, and then he hugged his fists and said to Chen Yuyan: "Foolish brother is arrogant, I have caused trouble to the young man, forgive me, I hope to forgive me for my uncompetitive form, he sits down the village, tastes the wine, and invites the young man to appreciate his face when the time comes." ”
"Oh yes, in Xia Chu Jihe, I've seen Shaoxia, I don't know what to call Shaoxia?"
"Tianhe 'Chaotian Spear' Chu Jihe?"
Chen Yuyan glanced at him and recognized his identity, although Chu Jihe's behavior was a bit protective of the big man, but seeing that he put his figure very low and was very sincere, he was not angry.
The Tianhe Society is one of the only few top forces in the Northwest Martial Arts, and is one of the seven great gangs along with the Twelve Docks and the Beggar Gang.
Chu Jihe is the most dazzling young talent in the Tianhe Church except for the young master nicknamed "Badao", but he became the hall master of the Tianhe Association in his early twenties.
"Li Qingsong." Chen Yuyan's words are concise and to the point.
"It turned out to be Brother Li!" Hearing this, Chu Jihe's face was shocked, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and returned the salute, "It turned out to be the 'heart demon' Li Qingsong and Li Shaoxia, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Li Shaoxia's deeds of escorting Mr. Nantang's eldest daughter for thousands of miles are almost unknown in the Northwest Martial Arts, and no one knows about it, which makes me admire! ”
Chen Yuyan's reputation is now very loud, although he is a person in the evil way, but he has the name of Qi Cangsheng, and he has no other bad deeds, in the northwest martial arts, the reputation of Yi Bo Yuntian is far more than the prestige of the evil way.
In particular, the Tianhe Society is not a righteous sect.
As the conversation between the two of them began, the face of the man behind Chu Jihe had become very ugly, and he couldn't imagine it.
I just offended myself casually, and I ran into something I couldn't afford to provoke!
"Heart Demon" Li Qingsong, this is the top 100 martial arts heroes on the Qingyun list, and even his cousin Chu Jihe is a little worse than him.
"Hehe, I've admired the name of Gongzi Chu for a long time." Chen Yuyan said with a smile, "Seeing each other is fate, if Gongzi Chu doesn't dislike it, how about sitting down and chatting together?" ”
"Chu can't ask for it!" Chu Jihe smiled slightly, and sat down without twisting, "Since I met you today, let Chu be the east!" Little Er, serve us a few more dishes! ”
Chu Jihe doesn't order many dishes, unlike those so-called young and golden Jianghu boys, one point is a table of dishes, and only pick the expensive ones, not the right ones, no matter whether they are delicious or not, only the expensive ones are picked.
Although there are only four or five side dishes he ordered, they are exquisite, the meat and vegetables are complete, and the flavors are also complete, and he is a master of this at a glance.
And Chu Jihe himself is also very talkative, whether it is an anecdote in the rivers and lakes or a secret matter of the imperial court, he can pick it up and say it, and the head of what he says is the Tao, and his voice is full of emotion and fascinating.
coupled with his elegant speech and demeanor, as well as his extraordinary demeanor, he can really charm countless boudoir girls.
After chatting for a while and drinking a few glasses of wine, Chu Jihe suddenly asked, "Brother Li is also here to participate in the Mingfeng Banquet?" ”
"Exactly." Chen Yuyan nodded.
When Chen Yuyan said this, he saw that Chu Jihe's expression was obviously tight.
However, he then said, "However, I just came to see the son-in-law this time, to have a long experience, to get to know the heroes and heroes of the younger generation, and I have no interest in the position of the son-in-law of Fengyuan Pavilion." ”
"Why?" Chu Jihe lowered his head and took a sip of wine, "Brother Li, you are today's Junjie, a rare young hero in the world, if you want to choose a son-in-law, you will have a great hope of success?" ”
"Hehe, Brother Chu is knowingly asking, right?" Chen Yuyan shook his head with a smile, "I, Li Qingsong, have been at ease all my life, how can I stick to this narrow Weiyang County and be a shoucheng?" ”
Chu Jihe nodded, "That's a pity, with Brother Li's strength, he should be the biggest popular candidate." Chu Jihe nodded lightly, with a look of regret on his face, but Chen Yuyan felt it very clearly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Why, does this Chu Jihe have thoughts about entering the Fengyuan Pavilion, Chen Yuyan is a little puzzled, how can Chu Jihe, as the hall master of the Tianhe Association, look down on the identity of this son-in-law?
However, seeing his appearance, Chen Yuyan was also very interested and didn't ask much.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of shouting and scolding on the street, which was very harsh.
Although the characters of the rivers and lakes are gathered in this Chaofeng Inner City now, it stands to reason that there are one or two conflicts that are not worth surprising.
But this time is different, this time it is Fengyuan Pavilion to choose a son-in-law, as long as the people who come here are for the position of that son-in-law, if it is a big fuss and reaches the ears of Fengyuan Pavilion, there will definitely not be a good impression.
"Qi Zhou, I think you can escape there this time!"
