Chapter Twenty-Nine: Xinqin
"Wine guests come" three wild grass big characters show free and easy wild and uninhibited feeling, three-storey pavilion set up, each eaves palace is hung with a string of bronze blessing bells, the breeze blows through a jingling iron bell, particularly pleasant and crisp, very good. The two fierce and greedy Pixiu stone statues at the entrance are lifelike, this inn restaurant located on West Street is not considered a top restaurant in the whole of Kyoto, but it is famous for its peculiarity, and it can be regarded as a small famous restaurant.
At this moment, Qin Fan and Mad Moon traveled all the way west, and when they came to this restaurant, Mad Moon was very familiar, and went up to the VIP room on the third floor in one breath, where there were only a few tables, but it was also clean, and the lively scene of the crowd of people downstairs was like two different worlds.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Xiao Er came in a hurry, bowed down with a menu brush and said with a smile: "What are you two eating? We don't have anything else here, only all kinds of delicious and strange dishes, all of which are delicious foods that many restaurants want to eat but can't eat!" Xiao Er deliberately bit the word "strange" very hard.
Qin Fan said "ah", subconsciously took the list in the small second-hand, and glanced at it casually, only to see what was on it, such as "cooking colorful deer tail", "braised demon jiaojiao", "spicy blood unicorn" and other strange dishes that he had never heard of, and it was indeed a restaurant famous in Kyoto, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was born in a farmer's family, in addition to Hua Manlou, he had never been to such a peculiar restaurant, and he couldn't help but have a strange shape, and even the dishes were seafood and mountain delicacies that other hotels did not have, and he couldn't help but be a little at a loss. He glanced at the bald-headed mad moon monk dressed in cloth again, and said, "Just a few light signature dishes, as for the rest, just have some tea." The monk will not be able to drink alcohol with a pure heart and few desires, Qin Fan still understands this, and immediately waved his hand to signal Xiao Er to go down. But he never thought that the crazy moon was glaring when he heard this, and he grabbed Xiao Er, who was about to leave, laughed out loud, and scolded: "My new sturdy brother doesn't know, you bastard still don't understand my old rules?" Then let go of the shopkeeper, looked at Qin Fan and said angrily: "What do you learn from the big man, what are you doing with tea!"
Qin Fan was stunned, a little inexplicable, does the monk drink alcohol if he doesn't drink tea?
But how did he expect that the crazy moon really laughed, and shouted: "Come to him ten catties of beef, forty jars of red sorghum!" Qin Fan was a little stupid, and said in his heart, Is this still a monk? The little second looked as usual, obviously knowing the crazy moon, and after agreeing, he hurriedly went down to prepare.
Seeing that Mad Moon looked excited, as if a prisoner who had been imprisoned for a long time had been released from prison, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, wanting to say something but not knowing where to speak, it was not easy to stop or say anything else, but he was a little embarrassed to watch Xiao Er move up dozens of wine jars of all sizes after a while, and Mad Moon made an impatient snort like a drunkard while pouring wine. After a long while, Qin Fan squeezed out a sentence: "Monks can also ...... Drinking?"
Crazy Moon was drinking vigorously, and when she heard this, she burped and smiled: "Of course it is...... Can't!" He paused, Qin Fan thought that he would say something unexpected, but he didn't expect such a sentence to pop up, and without thinking about it, he scolded with a smile: "Then you still drink!" This tone is already a little impolite, and he has a bad heart when he speaks, and the relationship between the two is not deep enough to laugh and scold each other, I am afraid that this is a bit too much.
"Cut, what is the most annoying thing about Lao Tzu, this is not allowed, what is the meaning of living, not to mention that there is a saying that wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart?"
Qin Fan was stunned for a moment, looking at the solemn monk with a greasy mouth, holding a wine jar in one hand and a large piece of beef in the other, drinking wine and eating a mouthful of meat from time to time, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The crazy moon didn't look at Qin Fan's reaction, just drank wine and ate meat, and I don't know if it was when he drank the first few jars of wine, he put down the empty wine jar, looked up and saw that Qin Fan also followed his example and grabbed a large piece of beef with his bare hands, and lifted a large bowl of red sorghum rice wine with his other hand, tore off a mouthful of beef fiercely, and poured a sip of wine in the big bowl, although he was choked by the spicy wine, he still stretched out his thumb and shouted: "Good wine!"
In his previous life, he had seen a lot of wine and meat monks, and he had even seen the monks in the bazaar carefully commenting on which part of the beef was the most delicious and which part was the most unpalatable, just like an expert. Today, I was only a little stunned at first when I saw this crazy moon drinking wine and eating meat, but I was soon relieved, this monk was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it was not a big deal to steal wine and meat, so I immediately no longer hesitated, joined in together, and ate meat and drank wine.
Crazy Moon nodded secretly without a trace, and glanced at Qin Fan with some appreciation, he had the feeling of having a thousand glasses of wine with his confidant, in the past, ordinary people saw him acting like this, either being secretly scolded or despised and despised, and he didn't expect that today's new friend not only showed contempt and disgust, but ate and drank as usual, and even ate and drank like him. He already had some affection for Qin Fan, but at this moment, this feeling was even stronger, Qin Fan saw that Crazy Moon stopped moving, and looked at him motionlessly, and he also stopped. Immediately, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
At this moment, it seemed that there was no difference in identity, no other people around him, no everything, only two men laughed, which was extremely loud.
The two of you have a bowl, I have a jar, I don't know what to say, haha laughed more than once, you come and I between a feeling between men is slowly flowing, men are three iron, carry guns together, drink, prostitute x, it is still very reasonable.
"Dangdang Dang"
The two were eating, drinking, talking and laughing, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and I saw the shopkeeper bow in and greet him, and asked: "Everyone, objectively, don't you listen to the music?" Although I have a blind old man who can't see, playing the piano is a must, and it is not as beautiful as the flower girl concubine who spends the upstairs, but this music is rarely compared, why don't you listen to it? If you think it's good, it's enough to reward a few pocket money. After speaking, he bowed even more, and lowered his head to see his expression clearly.
Qin Fan and Crazy Moon were eating and drinking, and were disturbed by this little two breaking into the door, Crazy Moon changed his face when he landed, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, but Qin Fan was stunned, only to see an old man in his sixties holding a guqin in one hand, and holding a green bamboo cane in the other hand, his hair was simply tied up by a wooden stick, and his eyes were closed on a face full of wrinkles after the vicissitudes of life. He was a kind and soft-hearted person, and he was full of compassion in his heart, so he hurriedly waved his hand to stop Crazy Moon, sighed, frowned, and said, "Old man, play the piano!" and said to Crazy Moon: "It's not easy to beg for food at such an old age, if you have some spare money, give him a reward." ”
"Hey, my brother is soft-hearted and here for the first time, now the world is too chaotic, who knows if you are pretending!" Crazy Moon poured a sip of wine, seeing that Qin Fan's face was a little gloomy, he smiled and said: "It's not that I bully people, it's just that I've seen too many things like this, and the first time I let him play the piano like this, but who knows that this little old man actually has a straight eye, and he plays the piano more accurately than the eyes of a sound and good person, where does he look like a blind man." I asked him what the scene was in the house, and he replied in a similar way, what kind of trick was used to deceive sympathy and profit!" Crazy Moon pointed at the blind old man with indignation and shouted, but instead of refuting it, the old man smiled at the corner of his mouth, presumably he had seen too much of such things, and he was still playing with the guqin without anger or anger.
Qin Fan was stunned for a moment, he had heard of such things, but he saw this old man's indifferent attitude of not being surprised, not like that kind of person who deceived and did evil, and it was just a tune, at most he would give a few more small money, but it was nothing, so he stopped Crazy Moon and said, "Trouble the old man, let's start!" Seeing this, Crazy Moon had to sit down with an embarrassed smile and still pouted and looked at the old man from time to time, it means that you can't play well, so you smashed your piano. Qin Fan smiled helplessly, and the old man nodded, and pressed a pair of hands that were slightly trembling because of his age on the strings.
"Boom... Bite... Dangdang ......"
Just now, there were still some trembling hands after pressing the guqin immediately became skillful, flying up and down, or pressing or wiping, or plucking or teasing, a board and a glance are colorful, really like a master who is familiar with this way, even the old luthier with intact eyes is not sure to compare with this old man's playing.
At the end of the song, the aftermath lingered, and the crazy moon seemed to be infected by the sound of the piano at the moment, he closed his eyes and shook his head, and he didn't know what he thought, Qin Fan also lost his eyes, looking at the dim world outside the window, where it seemed to turn into a big river of the Yangtze River, and above the void, it was like an old man ferrying a boat, leisurely, and a leisurely temperament like an idle cloud and a wild crane emanated from the old man who played the piano, and even the shopkeeper shook his head as if reminiscing about his childhood.
After a while, Qin Fan woke up from the sound of the leisurely piano, and looked at the old man and couldn't help but have more admiration, worthy of being a strange person in the city, this old man deserves the honorific title of this strange man.
Qin Fan was already interested in this qin art, and he had never heard such a qin song, so he couldn't help but ask the old man: "I have never heard this music, what is it called?" He was confident that he knew countless qin songs, whether it was recorded in the ancient books of this world or the masterpieces of another world, but he had never heard such a song, and he couldn't help asking.
The old man laughed and said, "This is the work of the little old man at will, and there is nothing famous." Qin Fan was dumbfounded, and noticed that this old man was really as Crazy Moon said, blind but proficient in playing, although it is not difficult for people who are proficient in this way to do this, but Qin Fan always felt that this old man was a little not simple, and thought of what Crazy Moon said before, he couldn't help but open his mouth and said: "Uncle, do you know how many people are in this room? What are the decorations, what kind of wine and food are eating?" This is a bit embarrassing, the first few questions are easy to answer, people who love wine and smart people can guess a rough idea, but what kind of wine and food and house furnishings are the big problems, non-able-eyed people can't answer.
But unexpectedly, the old man smiled and replied: "There are only four people in the house, counting the old immortals, and the tables, chairs and benches each have five fingers, more wine and less meat." After that, he laughed and said: "The two of you are really interested, drinking and eating meat, not at all like those VIPs who order some delicacies from the mountains and seas!"
Qin Fan was taken aback, looking around but seeing Crazy Moon and the shopkeeper looking as usual, as if they had expected it a long time ago, there must be a lot of people like him, and most of them are people who don't believe in evil and have come here to ask, isn't that Crazy Moon one of them, maybe this is also one of the "strange" people in this restaurant.
The shopkeeper invited the old man down, and when he saw Qin Fan's pensive look, he couldn't help but feel proud, and said, "The scenery we have here is arranged, and the tables, chairs, and benches are all changed every day. ”
"I'm so proud! Don't get out of here!" Crazy Moon was already angry in her heart, and drank a lot of wine, and when she saw the little er's smug look, she couldn't help but scold angrily. After throwing some silver money in his hand, he pulled Qin Fan and wanted to leave, he still had a competition in the afternoon.
"Wait! Dare to ask the old man what is the secret to being able to do such a thing?" The two were about to go downstairs and leave, but Qin Fan still couldn't help but ask.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" The old man coughed a few times, as if his body was a little bad, and then said in a somewhat rough voice: "I'm blind, my ears are fine, my ears are not good, but my heart is still transparent!"
Qin Fan was stunned, and without waiting for action, he was pulled out of the restaurant by the mad moon shouting "I'm going to be late".
