Sure enough, Nanfeng Pavilion is not simple, and Chang Jing is not simple either. He talks about world affairs and anecdotes. What is the source of the news? I am afraid that some people want to spread the news. If someone controls Chang Jing, does it not mean that they have the right to speak and can control public opinion? It's just that neither Chang Jing nor Yichun Garden or Nanfeng Pavilion are the ones Chen Fan wants to contact now, mainly because his current rank is too low.
"Thank you, Brother Liang, for clarifying my doubts. If I want to spread the news there, can anyone do it?"
“As long as you’re not afraid of being caught and someone helps spread the word, that’s fine.”
That's good, you can use it in the future.
The two were chatting, and Hou Feng walked in, "Lang Jun, Dean Lu asked me to come back first. He will be here soon."
"Very good, thank you for your hard work. It is said that a storyteller named Chang Jing will come here today to tell stories. You can also find a seat to sit down and listen while eating. You can also experience the folk art culture of Gusu." Although Hou Feng can be said to be Chen Fan's subordinate, but Chen Fan does not regard Hou Feng as a person, but as a friend. After all, only if you are good to others, others will fall to pieces for you when they should work hard. Without saying goodbye.
"Okay, thank you sir." Hou Feng said goodbye and left the private room.
After a while, Chen Fan heard a voice coming from outside, and Hou Feng said, "Dean Lu, this way."
"Dean Lu is here." Chen Fan said softly. Everyone looked towards the door and saw Lu Ban walking in. Everyone immediately stood up to greet him.
"Dean Lu, welcome." Liang Xiu said first.
When Chen Fan saw Liang Xiu speaking, the other two people just saluted and followed suit.
"Zifeng and Zhongkai are here too. Everyone is sitting down. Why did Fa Sheng think of me today?"
"I've wanted to make an appointment with the dean for a long time. I happen to be free today, so let's get together." Chen Fan replied respectfully.
"Well, are you playing chess?" Lu Ban came over and asked when he saw the chessboard.
"Yes, Lu Lang is playing chess with Shi Lang, Fa Sheng and I are watching from the sidelines." Liang Xiu still answered.
"How is the battle going?" Lu Ban asked while looking towards the chessboard.
"Evenly matched." It was still Liang Xiu who replied.
"What do Fa Sheng think?" Lu Fan thought about it for a moment and asked.
"The board is very thin, but it's Lu Lang's turn." Chen Fan has already counted the board. As long as Lu Zifeng makes the right move, he probably won't have any problem winning three or four times.
"Well, Fa Sheng's chess skills are quite good. Are you going to start school soon? Where do you plan to enroll?" Lu Yan said to Chen Fan.
"Study Taoism at Zhenwu Temple and enroll on the 29th."
"Go to the Taoist temple to study. It seems that Fa Sheng has a good talent for Taoism. He skipped studying in the Taoist temple. How can he still keep up with his studies?"
"I'm making up for it now, and I should be able to keep up with the progress of the Taoist temple when school starts."
"Oh, it seems that Fa Sheng is very confident, but it's a pity that Fa Sheng doesn't learn chess."
"You still have to learn chess. If Dean Lu doesn't think I'm stupid, I plan to go to the Chess Academy to listen to Dean Lu's lessons as soon as I have time. I wonder if Dean Lu is willing to accept me as a disciple?" Chen Fan visited Lu Yan. One of the purposes is to become an auditor at Rosin College so that he can learn more about this society.
"Fasheng, you are not stupid. There is no problem for you to come to the chess academy to take lessons. However, Fasheng, your chess skills are close to the fourth level. Some of the masters in our academy are not as good as you. It's a bit unfair for you to be my disciple." , you can come as a teaching assistant, listen to the class and help me with the students at the same time, how about that?"
"Dean Xie, the dean doesn't know something. I have never systematically learned Go or had a master. I only started playing Go when I was in elementary school. I played with my classmates out of love. If I can become a teacher with the dean, it will be the best thing for students." I hope that after studying with the dean for one or two years, if the dean thinks that the law student is acceptable, how about promoting me to a teaching assistant?" Chen Fan thought about it and felt that he was too young. If he started to become a teaching assistant, he would definitely Some people will be dissatisfied, and they have too much to learn, and they don’t want to be distracted. After a year or two, the situation will be different. By then, they have basically mastered what they should learn, and their age has also increased, and they need to start accumulating Fame, being an assistant coach or something, the time was right.
"Okay, I'll be born according to the law. Then I will accept the disciple of the law student." Seeing that Chen Fan was indeed a sincere disciple, Dean Lu immediately decided to accept him as his disciple. In fact, it wasn't that I didn't want to accept him at first. Chen Fan was good at chess and poetry. If he could be accepted as his disciple, Chen Fan would become famous in the future and his reputation as a master would be brightened. I just thought that Chen Fan might be being polite. I just wanted to attend classes at the college, so I declined and made a decision based on Chen Fan's sincerity.
"Disciple pays homage to Master." Having the experience of paying homage to Master Jia, Chen Fan immediately bowed down and saluted.
"Okay, starting from today, Fa Sheng is my disciple."
"Then at noon today, Dean Lu and Fa Sheng should drink more and not go home until they are drunk." Liang Xiu interjected from the side.
"That's natural. Drinking means having fun. Fasheng, you have to exercise hard today. Treat it as the first lesson the teacher teaches you."
"Yes, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you today." Chen Fan immediately agreed. Although he was worried in his heart, his face was full of joy. He turned his head and shouted to the door: "Hou Feng, let the waiter bring the good wine in their store." Here comes the delicious food.”
"Yes, Langjun." Hou Feng agreed immediately and went to find the waiter to serve the food.
"Master, before you came here, Liang Xiu's cousin said that Chang Jing would be here today to tell stories. I wonder if Master is going to listen?" Chen Fan has been recognized by Lu Xian as his disciple, so naturally, Chen Fan, who was called Dean Lu before, will The title was changed to Master.
"Oh, Chang Jing is here to talk, so of course I want to listen. I'll take a seat in the corridor on the second floor for a while, and we'll also listen to what he has to say today."
"Okay, Master, take a seat and I'll make the arrangements." It was Chen Fan's first time here and he was not familiar with the restaurant, so he happened to go out for a walk to familiarize himself with the environment.
"Okay, you're busy." Lu Yan nodded.
When he came out of the door, Chen Fan went straight to the first floor. He remembered that when he first came in, he saw the store's counter on the first floor, near the door. When we arrived on the first floor, we saw Hou Feng standing in front of the counter, talking to the waiter.
"Hou Feng, are the dishes ready?" Chen Fan walked a few steps and said as he approached the counter.
"Mr. Lang is here too, soon."
"What drink did you order?"
"Feng Ye Zui, the good wine here."
"Oh, that's good. What kind of wine are there?" Chen Fan thought for a while and asked, for a drinker, you can not let him eat well, but he must drink well.
"Returning to the guest officer, we have three kinds of wine here. The first one is Su wine, which is brewed from rice. It has a pure taste and costs five cents per pot. The second one is Fengye Zui, which is the best wine in the shop. The aroma is mellow and strong, and costs ten cents for a pot; the third type of wine is Bamboo Leaf Fragrance, which is the most expensive wine in the shop. After years of brewing, this wine is mellow and elegant, with a long aftertaste, and costs thirty cents for a pot."
"Oh, do you know Dean Lu and Langjun Liang?"
"Dean Lu and Liang Langjun are regular customers of the shop, so I know them."
"What do the two of them usually like when they come here? What kind of food and drinks do they order?" Chen Fan decided to ask. Since we are treating guests, we must take the guests' preferences into consideration.
Wanting to inquire about the guests' food preferences, which is a common thing in the store, the waiter did not hesitate and said: "Liang Langjun usually drinks Zhuyexiang, but Dean Lu often drinks Fengyezui. He said that the wine is strong enough and the dishes are delicious." It’s the shop’s signature dish, and the gentleman just ordered it.”
"Okay, let's serve the wine with bamboo leaf fragrance. Let's start with five pots. By the way, how many pots does Dean Lu usually drink at your place?"
"This little man doesn't care. Our jug of wine weighs two kilograms. The wine is strong and mellow. Ordinary people will get drunk after drinking half a kilogram. I think it's enough to drink a pot of it from Dean Lu."
"Okay, thank you." Chen Fan secretly regretted that ordering five pots was a bit too much, mainly because he couldn't drink it, but he didn't back out. Hou Feng was next to him. He might still be eating here at night, so he just ordered it. , don’t be afraid that it won’t be dealt with.
"We're drinking, do you have a wine glass?" Chen Fan then asked, mainly because he felt it was more convenient to use a wine glass when drinking.
"Yes, the shop has specially prepared drinking glasses and drinking bowls for guests. It's up to the guests' wishes."
"Okay, thank you. By the way, I heard that Chang Jing is here to tell stories today. We may arrange a seat in the corridor on the second floor. We can eat and listen at the same time?" Looking down from the corridor on the second floor, we can see the one on the first floor. The stage has good visual and auditory effects.
"To be honest, sir, there are a lot of guests here today, and the corridor space on the second floor is limited. We can only put some seats at most. If we want to put a desk, we can't fit it in."
"Okay, let's put the seats in. We will arrange five for us. Today our Dean Lu came here specially just to listen to the book. We can't ruin his elegance." Although Chen Fan came here for the first time, But aren't Liang Xiu and Dean Lu regular customers? I understand that the waiter doesn't dare to cheat on customers.
"I have to ask the shopkeeper for instructions and then reply to Lang Jun." The waiter neither dared to agree nor refuse, but resorted to a ball tactic.
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply in the private room upstairs. Don't be too slow." Although Chen Fan was dissatisfied with the waiter for not agreeing immediately, he didn't force the waiter. Instead, he decided to see what the store had to say. Urgent, the story-telling hasn’t started yet.
Chen Fan arranged the food and drinks and returned to the private room. Lu Yan was commenting on the chess game played by Lu and Shi. When he saw Chen Fan coming in, he said, "Come, let's study this chess game together."
"Okay." Compared with watching chess from the sidelines, Chen Fan prefers to listen to people talking about chess. Lu Xian did not start over again, but continued to talk about the subsequent fighting skills, which also benefited Chen Fan a lot.
Lu Fan was still talking about chess, and the waiter came in to serve the food. The private room was big enough, and each person had a table. After a few dishes were served, everyone decided to sit down first. Naturally, Lu Fan sat in the middle. Since Liang Xiu and Chen For all the initiators, the two people sitting at the top were Lu Zifeng and Shi Zhongkai.
The waiter brought five jugs of wine into the room, picked up a jug, and added wine to everyone.
"This is the bamboo leaf incense." Lu Quan smelled it and said affirmatively: "Have you ever tasted the signature wine of Cuixiang Pavilion?"
"Not yet. This is my first time here. The wine smells fragrant, strong but not strong. I'll wait and see how it tastes and whether it's worthy of the signature of Cuixiang Pavilion."
"Then Fa Sheng needs to drink more."
"This is inevitable, as long as everyone doesn't laugh at my drunken gaffe."
"No, you have noticed that Kai is not drunk all the time, and so am I. When drunk, he sings, which shows his true nature as a man. Come on, let's have a drink first." Lu Xian picked up the wine glass.
