In the early morning, the weather was clear and windy.

Dongping Street, Qingfeng Restaurant.

Creak...

With the sound of the door opening, Xiao Fuzi, wearing a green coat and a small hat, with a rag on his shoulders, started another day of daily work.

Soon after, guests began to arrive outside the door one after another.

"Master Xiaofuzi, can you teach me how to play chess when you are free today?"

"Master Xiao Fuzi, my trick of 'killing wildebeest' is always bad. Can you give me some advice later?"

"Master Xiaofuzi..."

When Xiao Fuzi heard everyone calling them names, he scratched his head in embarrassment, then quickly bowed and said, "Okay, okay..."

After all the guests came in, a proud smile slowly appeared on his face, "So... this is what it feels like to be famous!"

Today, five days have passed since the chess competition. During these five days, the business of Qingfeng Restaurant has once again reached a new level. Every day, the store is full of customers and guests, and there are almost no customers all day long.

When you have some free time.

With the end of the 'Chess King Contest', not only the champion Jian Xing became popular, but also the top ten chess players. Now every day many people are rushing to become their disciples.

, and would even be proud to play against them. With such popularity, Xiao Fuzi, as a semi-finalist, has naturally become a 'master', and countless chess players come to him for advice every day.

But Xiao Fuzi was not complacent. He even refused offers from other stores and chose to stay at Qingfeng Restaurant as a waiter. In his own words, playing chess is just a hobby, but being a waiter is a job he likes.

He likes to stay at Qingfeng Restaurant, accompanying Uncle Fu, the eldest lady, and Su Ping'an... Then he sees Qingfeng Restaurant getting better and better day by day, and he is very satisfied.

However, many other chess players have changed their destiny because of chess.

For example, the widow Zhou Fang, before learning chess, was looked down upon by her neighbors and had a hard life with her two children. However, after the chess championship, someone opened a women's chess hall and specially invited her to be a tutor. Not only was the price

He is tall and well-respected.

The neighbors who used to look down on her now call her "Master Zhou" when they see her again, which makes Zhou Fang very emotional.

There were also other top ten chess players who were taken away by Chunfu Library and other shop owners after the game. They were all treated as regular chess players, and the treatment given by each company was also equivalent.

He is so tall that he has attracted the envy of many chess players.

More importantly, after the end of the 'Chess King Tournament', everything that happened that day quickly became the most hotly discussed topic in Daming Mansion.

Floats, award ceremonies, halftime performances, etc... once made countless people exclaim and admire.

After that, chess halls in Daming Mansion began to spring up like mushrooms after a rain. Many shops and businesses saw the potential of chess. Now, without publicity, chess has flowed into thousands of households, and many people even play it.

Let your children be exposed to chess from the time they are in elementary school.

After all, with a talented young man like Jian Xingzhi as a role model, who wouldn’t want their children to be as successful in the future.

In short, chess has gradually begun to replace Go and has officially become the most popular chess game in Damingfu.

However, when restaurants and chess are both booming, everyone finds that "Susheng Xiaomeng" seems to have become more and more low-key. It is almost difficult to see him in the store, except for those on the literary list.

This work is still in normal serialization, and it is difficult to see any news related to him in the rest of the year.

This can’t help but make many people wonder: What is Su Sheng Xiaomeng doing recently?!

…

Just when everyone was curious about what Su Pingan was doing, in the back alley of Qingfeng Restaurant, under an empty stone pavilion, there was a pale yellow figure standing behind a young man, teaching that young man seriously.

Practice piano.

"What's wrong with you is that you pressed your fingers too hard, and the sound was suppressed by you!"

"Wrong again, you need to use the fingering technique here to get the vibrato..."

"You played it wrong again, try again..."

After a morning of practice, Su Ping'an still couldn't play a complete piece of music. Even the simplest "Little Star" failed. This made him sigh, "It's really difficult to practice playing the piano."

…”

Next to him, Liu Qingxi couldn't help laughing when he heard his emotion: "You know how difficult it is now. Who said in the beginning that he was so talented that it would only take two or three days to learn to play the piano, but it turned out that it has been five days, but you can't even do it.

I couldn’t even play the simplest introductory song, so don’t brag now..."

Su Pingan was a little embarrassed after hearing this, and felt his face hurt.

After the previous Chess King Competition, Su Ping'an had already begun to think about the Sanwen Palace's "School Examination Competition" in March.

There are four categories in the Wen Gong Competition, including piano, chess, calligraphy and painting... There will be a competition in each category.

Now that chess has become more popular, Su Ping'an already has a way to deal with it in the chess world; in the calligraphy world, he accepts everyone who comes; in the painting world, he has a 'sketch' in hand, so he should be able to cope with it. Even in the piano world, he feels

There is still something lacking.

Although he was very good at composing music, he would be looked down upon if he couldn't play it himself, so he thought that he would make up for this shortcoming during this period of time. But who knew that the guqin looked simple, but he didn't expect that it would even make up for it.

It’s so hard to get started.

Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu... Five notes and seven strings, the combination is complex and changeable, especially the technique when playing the piano is also quite particular, such as brushing, holding, scattering, picking... It seems that the technique has not changed, but inside

The usage of fingers is very different, and it is much more difficult to learn than piano.

Su Ping'an studied for five days in a row, but in the end he couldn't even use one of the fingering techniques. Fortunately, before he learned it, he vowed that he would be able to learn it before the school entrance examination. Now it seems... this is simply impossible.

thing.

"If I can't learn Go on the chess circuit, I can still make a chess game. If I can't learn the piano game, do I still have to make a piano?!"

Su Ping'an suddenly felt a toothache.

Build a piano?

Let’s not talk about whether he can make it or not. Even if he makes it, he won’t know how to play it. How can he compete with other literary masters with his unfamiliar ‘little stars’?!

It’s just a joke!

Liu Qingxi also saw that he really had no talent for playing the lyre, and then couldn't help but suggest: "Actually, you don't have to learn the lyre. There are still many musical instruments to choose from in the qindao lineage. Such as zither, Xiao, Sheng

, harp, chimes, big drum, suona... other musical instruments also have their own characteristics, you might as well try them all one by one, among so many kinds, you can always find the one that suits you."
