Under Meng Ruhu's instructions and arrangements, Chai Yan's table was soon filled with rich dishes.
Although the dishes at Zhongyilou look a little inferior, after trying it, Chai Yan discovered that the taste is also unique!
"Meng Lichang, this dish tastes very good, haha..." Chai Yan said with a smile while eating.
Meng Lichang, who was standing on one side, was holding a wine flask, adding some wine to Chai Yan with a smile on his face, and said: "Everywhere, the craftsmanship of country cooks is the same. It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!"
Chai Yanxiao asked: "Meng Lichang, when is the dance performance going to start?"
Meng Li was stunned and immediately understood that Chai Yan wanted to eat and watch at the same time. He nodded vigorously and said: "Start right away... right now!"
With that said, Chief Meng put down the wine bottle, apologized and hurried downstairs.
As soon as Meng Ruhu left, Hang Baiqiu said unhappily: "Sir, Mr. Chai, can you ask him to stay away for a while? He keeps flattering and flattering me, and I can hardly eat anymore..."
Wu Sansheng couldn't help but smile after hearing these words. Thinking of how Meng Ruhu was usually aloof and arrogant, his behavior tonight can be said to be an eye-opener!
Chai Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Hang, do you think I like it? I'm also annoyed by his endless chatter and disturbing our meal... Okay, don't worry, I promise not to let him here in a while.
Getting in the way!"
"Hey, this is what you said!" Hang Baiqiu said.
Chai Yan nodded and said, "I said so!"
Then, Chai Yan started eating vegetables again.
After Wu Sansheng politely offered Chai Yan a glass of water and wine, he said, "Master Chai, have you noticed that there are no other guests except our table on the second floor today?"
Chai Yan paused, then turned and looked around. Sure enough, as Wu Sansheng said, there was only his lone table on the second floor, and the rest of the tables were empty.
There were a lot of guests on the first floor, and many of them were looking up at me.
After Hang Baiqiu looked around, his eyes stayed on the stairs, and he said with his lips: "Look, they sent someone to stop it, so other guests can't come up!"
Chai Yan looked down and saw that he was indeed blocked by two men as he went up the stairs. Judging from their clothes, he knew that they were Meng Ruhu's servants.
"Whatever, this will make things easier for you!" Chai Yan said and took another sip of wine.
As he was talking, a woman with heavy makeup appeared on the stage on the first floor. Judging from her appearance, she should be about to start performing.
After the woman stood up and posed, music started to play from behind the stage, and the woman on the stage began to dance to the music...
Hang Baiqiu is a martial arts practitioner and knows almost nothing about music and dance. After watching it for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Chai Yan, what kind of dance is this..."
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "I don't know, I've never seen it..."
Wu Sansheng explained: "Master Chai, Mr. Hang, the girl on the stage is performing the Dance of Feng Yu, which is her best dance."
"oh......"
Not only did Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu have the same voice, but they even nodded in the same rhythm. However, in fact, they only understood the name of the dance and did not know the true meaning of Feng Yu Dance.
Hang Baiqiu was still watching the graceful dancing on the stage seriously, when he was suddenly disturbed by the sound of Chai Yan eating next to him.
She turned around and saw that Chai Yan was grabbing a greasy chicken leg and gnawing on it.
Hang Baiqiu immediately frowned and said, "What are you doing? You said you wanted to watch a dance performance, but you didn't care about what to eat!"
Chai Yan said while chewing the meat: "Who said that? I'm watching it. I'm watching it while eating, so I can eat more."
As he said that, Chai Yan opened his eyes wide and looked down at the stage, then nodded seriously and said: "Okay, okay, you dance really well!"
After saying this, Chai Yan continued to focus on the greasy chicken legs.
"You..." Hang Baiqiu was speechless at Chai Yan's reaction, so he had to say angrily: "Keep your voice down!"
Wu Sansheng waited for Hang Baiqiu to finish speaking, and then said softly: "Master Chai probably thought this dance was too soft and slow, so he couldn't get interested..."
Chai Yan was startled, then he raised his shiny thumb and said seriously: "The one who knows me is Shopkeeper Wu!"
"Why is it so slow? I think it's pretty good!" Hang Baiqiu said immediately.
The three of them were discussing dance when Meng Ruhu came upstairs.
As soon as he arrived at the table, Meng Ruhu wanted to take the wine bottle in his hand and continue to act as a waiter refilling the wine.
But Hang Baiqiu grabbed the wine pot first and said: "No, we will do it ourselves!"
"Yes..." Meng Ruhu smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Chai Yan looked at Meng Ruhu with a smile and said, "Meng Lichang, why don't you go downstairs to rest and let the three of us talk among ourselves?"
Meng Ruhu immediately understood what Chai Yan meant. He no longer needed to be there to serve him!
"Ah...Okay, okay, sir, if you have any orders, I'll be waiting downstairs..."
Although Meng Ruhu didn't want to leave, he had no choice but to leave.
When Meng Ruhu came downstairs, the dance performance on the first floor had just finished, and the applause from the first floor also started, mixed with some cheers.
Next up on the stage was a light-colored woman with a pipa in her arms. It was supposed to be a solo performance.
When the audience quieted down, the crisp and bright pipa music sounded from the stage...
After listening attentively for a while, Chai Yan nodded and praised: "This is good, the sound is crisp and full, translucent and grainy! Well, not bad..."
Wu Sansheng said: "Your Excellency is right, this girl's pipa skills are unparalleled in Rouxiang Courtyard. In the past, when I and my friends came here, we would often ask her to play a piece of music."
Chai Yan smiled and said: "It turns out she is an old acquaintance of Shopkeeper Wu, hahaha..."
"Hahaha..." Wu Sansheng also laughed, his voice was quite cheerful.
Hang Baiqiu couldn't hear anything good about it, so he curled his lips disapprovingly and glanced at the two of them.
While listening to the pipa playing, Aunt Mei suddenly came upstairs with a girl.
The three of them turned around when they heard the voice and saw that the girl brought by Aunt Mei was the one who had just performed the Dance of the Wind and Feathers.
After Aunt Mei greeted the three of them very politely, she moved the girl next to her to the front and said, "You haven't bowed to Master Chai yet!"
The girl immediately bowed to Chai Yanfu and said, "My dear daughter, I have met Mr. Chai..."
"No need to be polite..." Chai Yan said with a polite smile: "Your dance just now was very beautiful, we all liked it, haha..."
Looking at Chai Yan's appearance, Hang Baiqiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking: He didn't mean what he said!
"Qiao Tao... Qiao Tao, thank you sir..." Qiao Tao's face was red and she didn't dare to look at Chai Yan.
Afterwards, Aunt Mei approached Chai Yan in the name of adding some wine, and asked with a chuckle: "Master Chai, does he know where the name Qiao Tao comes from?"
Chai Yan smiled and shook his head to express his ignorance.
Aunt Mei covered her mouth and smiled softly, then she leaned close to Chai Yan's ear and whispered: "I'll tell you quietly, it's because Qiao Tao is as her name suggests, and her buttocks are like those fresh and plump peach fruits, hehehe
