Chapter Seventy-Four: The Youthful Spirit

Lu Yuan walked all the way from Fuchun to the northwest and arrived at Lin'an City in a few days.

As the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin'an City can actually still see the old system of the original imperial palace. However, it was evening, and Lu Yuan was a little less inclined to look at the ruins.

After entering the city, Lu Yuan found a restaurant that looked good, walked in, went up to the second floor, found a table to sit down, and ordered a table of food. After opening the six orifices, Lu Yuan's appetite increased greatly, and the amount of food was not small, but with the financial support of Orange Jump, this time he unceremoniously ordered the amount that ordinary three people could eat, and then poured wine while waiting for the dish.

Just when Lu Yuan sat down, the whole restaurant was a little busy. At this time, there were not many people eating, but there were still three or five tables and more than a dozen people. This restaurant is called Guanjiayan, which is a well-known restaurant in Lin'an City. During the two Song Dynasty periods, people used to call the emperor an official family, and this is Lin'an City, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Lu Yuan was a little puzzled, so he looked around, but saw a table by the window on his left, and there was a person sitting alone, also a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old. This is not unusual, what is strange is that Lu Yuan found that the roots of that person's hair were somewhat similar to Lu Yuan's at the moment - full of blood and qi, and the roots of his hair were slightly red. In this way, Lu Yuan understood why the restaurant began to get busy. The two young men who ate alone, but they both ordered at least three people to finish the meal, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that they are overly hungry. Dare to call the official family banquet, it will definitely not make the guests wait for the meal for too long and be hungry, so they are busy preparing meals for the two.

The young man felt Lu Yuan's gaze, raised his head to look at Lu Yuan, the two looked at each other silently for a while, Lu Yuan raised the wine glass on the table and toasted Yaoyao, the other party also picked up his own wine glass to return the salute, and then drank the wine in the glass together, and then acted as if nothing happened.

Soon, the hors d'oeuvres came up first, along with a chicken soup, which was the signature appetizer of the official family banquet to moisten the stomach, and coincidentally, both of them ordered this dish. Lu Yuan was not polite, after drinking a bowl of soup, he casually tore off a chicken leg and began to gnaw, and the same was true of the young man. In just a few moments, there was a chicken bone piled up in front of the two. Immediately afterwards, the two of them didn't talk nonsense, scooped up the soup and drank it, the second dish had not yet come up, and both of them had already swept away the chicken soup in front of them.

At this time, the number of people eating increased one after another, and the strange thing of the two teenagers quickly sweeping away a chicken soup in front of them was seen by everyone, and some good deeds were secretly spread, and some curious guests even changed from downstairs to upstairs. The little guy at the official family banquet has been observing the eating speed of the two, and has always reported to the back kitchen, and the back kitchen is also very hard, but after a while, a braised pork knuckle for one person comes up - this is also the signature dish of the official family banquet, and the cooking method used is to imitate Dongpo meat, and the taste is extremely sweet. Along with them, there were two people's rice, both of which were in a big pot.

The two of them didn't care about the situation around them, and when they saw the food coming, they opened their bellies and ate it. The surrounding guests saw that the two teenagers were holding a pork knuckle and munching on it, which actually aroused their appetite, and they also ate the side dishes or main dishes in front of them, and watched the two of them eat while eating.

"Little Er, let's have another rice. But in a moment, Lu Yuan ate all the pots of rice, and half of a large braised pork knuckle was left.

"Come on!" Xiao Er, who was already waiting on the side, stepped forward immediately, but to Xiao Er's surprise, the rice bowl that appeared in front of it was ...... Two—the boy had also eaten up a pot of rice, and apparently wanted another pot as well.

"Wow, that's a lot of food!"

"Looks like the best is yet to come!"

The surrounding diners showed expressions of amazement or curiosity. Life is already very ordinary, and being able to encounter strange things and talk about comfort in life can be regarded as a kind of conversation.

Xiao Er's movements were very fast, but in a moment, two large pots of rice came up, and the two of them finished eating the remaining half of the pork knuckle. It was at this time that the third dish came up -- the vinegar fish from West Lake, which is another famous dish in Hangzhou, and the signboard of the official family banquet, what else is there to say? The big competition between the two is still continuing.

After that, two dishes were served one after another, although the latter two dishes were different, but the amount of food and eating speed of the two were not inferior to each other at all, and the chopsticks were dropped almost at the same time. At the same time as the two of them put down their chopsticks, the diners on the second floor burst into applause, which can be regarded as gratitude to the two.

"You, good. Do you have the strength?" The young man looked at Lu Yuan and asked, his voice was thick and steady, and at this time, Lu Yuan took a closer look at the young man's appearance, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a wide mouth and a straight nose, but he looked heroic.

"I'm not afraid of anyone. Lu Yuan laughed.

"How many?" the young man asked thoughtlessly, but Lu Yuan understood and smiled slightly.

"Twenty is fine. ”

"Wow, what a big breath!" Lu Yuan said what he said, but everyone understood it, and his feelings were talking about how much strength he had, and at that moment, some good people asked around, and there were immediately two strong men who thought that they had great strength and walked out and challenged Lu Yuan and the young man. The two looked at each other and agreed to the challenge of the two strong men.

Naturally, someone volunteered to come out to referee the two, and the two tables were wrestling wrists at the same time. The result is self-evident, the two strong men can't last two breaths at all, and then four more people come out, challenging the two at the same time, but they still quickly lose, and then everyone finally knows that the two of them are not bragging, so they quickly let go of the table in the middle and let the two compete.

The two of them came to the table and set up their postures. With the referee's order, the hands of the two were exerted at the same time. As soon as he competed, Lu Yuan knew that the young man in front of him was not simple, and his strength could keep up with himself who had opened up the six tricks. When they met their opponents, the two of them invariably increased their efforts, and the square table in the middle trembled slightly, obviously unable to withstand the strength of the two. In order to stabilize the table and give themselves a fulcrum, the two pressed the corner of the table with their left hands at the same time and continued to wrestle.

I saw that the hands of the two had been swinging back and forth on the left and right sides no less than twenty times, but they could not deviate from the distance of more than three fingers, and the people watching from the initial excitement and nervousness to the present are a little impatient and bored. Some people even secretly opened the handicap and bet on winning or losing this time.

Just when everyone's interest was a little down, Lu Yuan suddenly exerted his strength, and actually pressed the young man's hand on the table......
