At first glance, the young man’s complexion was slightly dark, his clothes were starched and white, and there were two holes. He looked like a poor boy from the countryside. ※%
However, if you look carefully, you can find details that have been missed.
The young man was dressed simply, but he was not afraid of honor or disgrace; his face was simple and honest, but his dark eyes were full of aura when turning; especially the curve of the corner of his mouth that sometimes rose up, in the face of all kinds of contempt and disdain, he seemed to always have
Smiling.
This young man must not be simple.
"Is this right?" Zhu Pingan looked at the dumbfounded shop assistant beside him, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and asked softly.
The shop assistant swallowed a sip of saliva and nodded hurriedly, his eyes a little dull.
"That means I can get free board and lodging for one day?" Zhu Pingan showed a simple and honest smile, which was very sunny.
The store clerk nodded blankly.
"Thank you so much. You Beijing people are so kind. On the first day I came to Beijing, you showed me how generous you are."
"Then I won't be polite. I'll give you five or six of your signature dishes, which are delicious and expensive."
"Oh, by the way, please take my horse to the backyard again, and don't lose the things on the horse's back. That's my entire net worth. If you can, help me move my things to your room.
Among the rooms left, um, pick me a good, spacious room that faces the sun."
"Haha, I'm in trouble."
After the store clerk nodded, Zhu Ping'an raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a few white teeth. He bowed his hands to the store clerk and said thank you.
After saying that, Zhu Pingan found a table and sat down.
At this time, the store clerk understood why Zhu Ping'an said "it has to be untied anyway" when he tied the horse to the flagpole. That's what it means now.
Looking at the simple young man sitting on the table, the waiter blushed so hard that he felt hot.
When Zhu Pingan read the second couplet, everyone in the lobby looked at Zhu Pingan in a completely different way than at the beginning. However, when Zhu Pingan was not reserved at all, he ordered five expensive signature dishes in his restaurant.
When Liu Dao asked the store clerk to move the things to the good room, everyone's eyes changed again when they looked at Zhu Pingan.
Why do I feel so worthless?
As if he has never seen the world.
It's really a pity.
Everyone looked at Zhu Ping'an with a hint of disdain. They came to this inn to express the couplet not because of the free food and lodging that others said, but because of the couplet. They didn't care about anything at all.
Free food and accommodation are a big concern. Even those who meet the couplets don’t pick out expensive dishes like Zhu Ping’an, and they choose a room to live in. The most they can do is order a pot of fragrant tea and enjoy tea.
Whatever the dishes, the room, everything, please don't lower my taste.
The style of a gentleman, how can there be a person who attaches great importance to profit!
Zhu Ping'an didn't care about the eyes of everyone. Before the food was served, he picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea into the teacup, and sipped it slightly.
Huh? He's tasting tea!
Maybe we misjudged him. Also, at the beginning, the waiter looked down upon him so much that he ordered a few expensive dishes. Living in a good room was also a small punishment for the waiter.
Food, accommodation, etc. The drunkard’s intention is not in the bar.
Everyone's views on Zhu Pingan have undergone subtle changes. Many people have taken steps to make friends with Zhu Pingan.
At this moment, I heard a "dong" sound.
Then everyone was surprised to see that after the young man took a sip of tea, he drank the tea in his hand with a gulp sound, like a cow drinking. After drinking one cup, the young man poured another cup, and then made another gulp sound, like a cow drinking.
Drink it all again in one gulp.
Uh, it turns out that I was not tasting tea just now, but trying to see if the tea was hot or not!!
I really have never seen the world! What a pity, what a pity!
Everyone couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed. Those who were taking steps to make friends with Zhu Pingan also stopped one after another!
"Hehehe, this young man is so free and easy." The well-dressed young man turned his head and said softly to the young man named Vincent next to him, smiling.
"It looks a bit like you." The young man named Vincent smiled faintly.
While everyone in the lobby was whispering or looking at Zhu Pingan, the dishes Zhu Pingan ordered had already been served. The speed of serving food in this inn was really worthy of its unusually prosperous decoration and specifications.
A plate of roast duck, a small bowl of sweet sauce and accompanying vegetables, a stack of fried tripe, a portion of fried liver, a cup of bird's nest, a plate of red braised abalone, and an off-season vegetarian stir-fried green vegetable.
Perhaps the most expensive dish here is the humble stir-fried green vegetables. In the Ming Dynasty, with the improvement of vegetable planting technology, the capital area has begun to use greenhouses to grow vegetables. According to literature records: Wang Gua comes from Yanjing and is the best.
After planting in the fire room, flowers and leaves are forced to grow, and small fruits will form in early February. However, the production cost of this kind of green vegetables grown in the greenhouse is very high, and the selling price is very expensive. Only the wealthy, powerful, and wealthy businessmen can enjoy it.
, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to eat in winter.
Zhu Ping'an hadn't eaten anything all day since morning. When he saw such a rich table of delicious food, his eyes lit up.
Therefore, as soon as the food was served, Zhu Pingan took a pair of chopsticks and started to eat happily.
It's really degrading to eat pictures.
The lobby was originally waiting for Zhu Pingan to continue the couplet. Although his sense of Zhu Pingan was not very good, he was still positive about Zhu Pingan's level. But when he saw Zhu Pingan, he started to eat happily.
It turns out that he only knows how to deal with those two couplets.
Everyone couldn't help but shook their heads when they saw Zhu Ping'an's dishonoring and elegant eating posture, which was reduced to a plate in the blink of an eye.
My appetite is really good!
Not long after, everyone saw that Zhu Pingan had eaten almost all the food on the table. This young man looked neither tall nor fat, and he had a really big appetite!
After Zhu Pingan was full, he drank another cup of tea, burped with satisfaction, took out a white handkerchief that was also starched from his pocket, and wiped his mouth.
“This food tastes so good, I really can’t bear to leave.”
Then everyone saw a scene that they would never forget. After the young man finished sighing with emotion, he looked up at the couplets, flattened his mouth, and read out the remaining four couplets in one breath:
"Lonely and cold, I am a widow with an empty window; I have traveled far and near, and I have been free and happy."
"An inch of land is a temple, and a poem is written next to the temple. The poem says: The bright moon sends the monks back to the ancient temple. Two trees are a forest, and there is a prohibition under the forest. The prohibition says: The ax can be used to enter the forest at the right time."
"The sound of the wind, the sound of water, the sound of insects, the sound of birds, and the sound of Sanskrit chants, combined for three hundred and sixty days, are soundless and silent; the moon is the color of the mountains, the color of the grass, the color of the trees, the color of the clouds, and the color of the 48,000-foot-high peaks and mountains, all colors are empty!
"
"If there are insects in the water, it will be turbid; if there are fish in the water, there will be fishing; water, water, water, rivers and lakes; the sun will appear because of the industry, the sun will be bright because of the moon, the sun will shine, the sun, the moon, and the stars will shine."
After finishing the couplet, Zhu Pingan nodded, flattened his mouth and said to himself: "This should allow me to stay a few more days."
After finishing speaking, he casually glanced at the surprised people in the lobby, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a bright smile flashed away.
If you don’t eat so much, how can you have time to think about it?
These people really think they can do it all in one go, haha. (To be continued...)
