Shredded chicken noodles are served first.

"Come, Brother Shen, eat hot. The middle-aged man greeted warmly.

"Okay, Uncle Gu. Shen Yun was really hungry, so he didn't say anything polite to him, picked up the noodle bowl, and ate it.

By this time, the two of them had already reported each other's homes. The middle-aged man claimed to be surnamed Gu and lived in neighboring Qingshan County. I don't have any other hobbies in my life, I just like to gamble on size. And he has patronized so many gambling houses around, but he feels that Jinyanlou is the most comfortable here, so as long as he has spare money in his hand, he will come here to play two handfuls.

Having said that, Shen Yun could see that Uncle Gu's family background was good, and he was the kind of wealthy family that had no worries about food and clothing. And he himself is not a bad gambler.

When the noodles were almost finished, the guy also brought over the wine and food: "The wine and food are ready, please use it slowly." ”

Uncle Gu poured himself a bowl for himself, asked Shen Yun to take the wine bowl casually, and drank it all.

Shen Yun's alcohol consumption was practiced by Fu Zixing. Water and wine like this, such a big jar, he drank seven or eight jars at a time, it was not a problem at all.

Yes, he also poured himself a bowl, and after taking a big sip, he asked: "Uncle Gu, I was just on the promenade, looking down, I can see the first and second floors below, but when I look up, I can only see the roof, and I can't see the four floors above at all, what's going on?"

Uncle Gu smiled: "That's what is going on here. From the upper floor, you can see the floor below. On the other hand, it is not clear to see. If you go to the patio on the first floor and look up, you will find that you can't see it above the second floor, you can only see a high, shiny roof. ”

"It's magical. Shen Yun praised it, followed the words, and asked again, "Can I go down to the first floor from here?"

"Oh, the stairs are in these shops. You can't see it from the outside. Uncle Gu said, pointing to the other side of the high platform, "See, the stairs of this shop are on the other side of the platform." ”

Shen Yun decided to find a chance to take a look later.

At this time, Uncle Gu said again: "Do you really want to go to the patio to play?"

"From above, it's interesting. I want to check it out. Shen Yun smiled.

Uncle Gu drank another bowl of wine: "The stairs here should also be moved." On each floor, you can only see the stairs going down, but you can't go up from the bottom to the other way around. If you go down from the third floor, you can't go back to the third floor. I'm filling my stomach and I'm going to play two more later. The lower two tiers are much smaller and boring. I won't go with you. ”

Ah, there is such a thing? Shen Yun actually wanted to see the seventh floor. Because it is rumored that on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the eldest lord of Xianfu held a banquet on the top floor of Jinyan Tower.

"You can't go up to the fourth floor from here, can you?" he asked.

Uncle Gu nodded: "Yes." Also, the fourth floor is not something that ordinary people like me can go up to. ”

It turns out that although Jin Yanlou is famous for recognizing money and not recognizing people, it is also very particular. The upper four floors, that is, from the fourth floor to the seventh floor, are only entertained by the immortal officials. Ordinary people like them, no matter how much money they spend, they are not qualified to go up and sell the money.

As a result, there are only three doors in the lobby on the first floor. With a gold coin, or its equivalent of another silver or copper coin, you can open the door in the middle to reach the third floor, with two silver coins, or the equivalent of copper coins, you can open the door on the left to reach the second floor, and with one copper coin, you can only open the door on the right to enter the first floor.

Therefore, the first to third floors of Jinyan Building have copper buildings, silver buildings, and gold buildings. Uncle Gu shrugged, "Above the fourth floor, it is collectively called the Immortal Tower." Maybe you can also come down from the fairy tower, the gold, silver, and bronze towers. It's just that we don't know. ”

"Dangchang", Shen Yun seemed to hear that his abacus was ruthlessly shattered.

"From the lobby on the first floor, didn't you have the door to the Immortal Tower?" he asked unwillingly.

Uncle Gu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "There should be." Otherwise, Lord Xianguan can fly up, but those guys are all ordinary people like us, and they can also fly up? Hehe, this kind of thing, the owner here has to worry about it, so I don't have to wait for the small people to bother. ”

As he spoke, he poured another bowl of wine, tilted his neck, drank again, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with his palm, got up and went to the counter to settle the bill, "I'm full! I'm going to play two more." Brother Shen, use it slowly, and you are out of company. ”

Oh, you can find a way to mix it up in the back kitchen and have a look...... Shen Yun was now thinking about how to go to the Immortal Tower, where did he have any thoughts to sit in this noisy place and "use it slowly"? Hearing this, he hurriedly got up and sent him off: "Thank you, Uncle Gu." ”

Uncle Gu waved his hand and walked away freely.

When he walked out of the restaurant, Shen Yun also put away the wine bowl and walked to the high platform—he saw that the guys were all serving food from that side. So, the back kitchen should be over there.

In fact, he also saw a door there covered with a thick blue curtain.

It's a pity that before he could reach the door, he was stopped by a guy with a grin: "Son, the private room is over there." ”

The so-called private room refers to the latrine.

Shen Yun left stupidly.

Then he changed to other shops, and he could not get close to the door where the men could enter.

Worried about attracting unwanted attention, he decided to try his luck on the second floor. Maybe the precautions there will be looser......

But he didn't know, "Uncle Gu", who kept saying that he would go back to the gambling house to play two more games, had been following Shen Yun. When Shen Yun descended the stairs, he followed behind, and his figure disappeared at the top of the stairs.

Shen Yun was unaware of this.

After going around the third floor, he returned to the restaurant, and on the other side of the high platform, he found a staircase surrounded by red columns. He descended the five-foot-wide wooden staircase to the second floor.

Something magical happened. At this point, he turned to look back. The wooden staircase he had walked a moment ago was gone, and all he saw was an empty wall!

Not far away, there is still a three-foot-high square wooden platform. A young man in a green cloth robe stood on the stage, holding a paper fan in his hand, and his eyebrows were dancing as he told a story.

He listened carefully and found that he was talking about the murder of Tian Baosheng in Yuxi Town. At this moment, Mr. Storyteller was saying that Tian Baosheng was beaten up by a young man in a green shirt. His eloquence is excellent, and Tian Baosheng's unlucky appearance is vividly said. The audience below listened wonderfully and cheered one after another.

Even when Shen Yun heard this, he couldn't help but have an illusion: at that time, he used his "chivalrous" fist to smash Tian Baosheng all over the ground looking for teeth.

I can't talk about it anymore!

With a breath of turbidity, he walked out of the restaurant and walked around the second floor.

Well, Uncle Gu didn't cheat him. The layout of the second floor is basically the same as that of the third floor, except that there are more people and it is more lively than the third floor. However, the furnishings and arrangements are far less than the third floor.

As a result, on the second floor, Shen Yun also failed to find a chance. In desperation, he could only go to the first floor.

There are more people on the first floor! Especially in restaurants. Before I knew it, it was already the second half of the night. People who play in the middle of the night, tired and hungry, come here to fill their stomachs. For a while, the restaurant was full of people and full of seats. The guys were too busy to keep their feet on the ground, and they didn't have time to care.

Shen Yun waited for a while before finding an empty seat to sit down. From the third floor to the first floor, he turned around for several hours, consumed a lot, and was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.

"Ten fried buns, stuffed with leeks. ”

Dude: "Little brother, the fried buns have already been sold out." ”

Shen Yun frowned lightly: "Sold out?" I asked you to make some more in the kitchen. ”

The guy was not annoyed and explained, "It was supposed to be sold out, so it was made on the spot." It's just, little brother, you see, it's past a moment. Deep-fried buns are time-consuming, and if they are freshly made, it will take more than a quarter of an hour. At that time, we will all be closed. Are you sure you want to order fried buns?"

"Forget it. What else do you have?"

"There are only a dozen bowls of Yangchun noodles left. ”

"Let's have a bowl of Yangchun noodles. ”

"Okay. ”
