"Dear guests, what's next! I will tell you a story about Prince Yue Feiyue who fought against the Jin people and defended his family and country..."
"good…"
When Feng Le and others were passing by the aisle on the first floor with the waiter who was greeting the guests, the storyteller on the podium on the first floor was preparing to tell a new story, which won bursts of cheers and cheers from the surrounding diners.
Storytelling has been around since ancient times.
Xuzhou, as a famous ancient city throughout the ages, naturally has no shortage of storytellers. However, anyone who has come to Piaoxianglou to listen to books will always feel that the storytellers outside are much inferior to those here in Piaoxianglou.
As for why this happened, they couldn't figure it out. They just intuitively felt that the storytelling they heard in Piaoxianglou was very different from listening to books in other places.
Most people who come to Piaoxianglou to listen to books can always hear the passion, which makes people think deeply and move them. Especially the younger generation of listeners will feel excited after listening to the stories told by the storytellers. And this is something they have never encountered outside.
It is said that once, when the storyteller of Piaoxiang Tower told a story called Wu Hu Luan Hua, he made many elders cry. For this reason, Piaoxianglou got into a lot of trouble①, and I heard that it took a lot of money to settle the matter.
"Today's story-telling is still as exciting as ever! Just listening to the story-telling from Piaoxianglou will make you feel better after eating this meal." Listening to the cheers from the whole hall, Jiang Wei couldn't help but say.
"This man is right. Our boss said that our Piaoxiang Restaurant is here to serve everyone. As long as everyone who comes here eats, drinks, and has fun, it doesn't matter whether they make more or less money." The waiter said He said with a smile on his face, and seemed to be vaguely proud.
"Second brother, you are so good at speaking good words for your boss, but you get a lot of rewards?" Wang Li on the side couldn't help but say.
"What about rewards or not? The guest officer was joking. But my boss is indeed a very good person. He is not bragging, in my opinion! There are probably not many people in the entire Xuzhou City who can compare with our boss. "The receptionist replied with a smile.
"Hey, waiter, you're still out of breath after being praised a few times. Let's see what you can do. In that case, we have to congratulate you for finding a good employer." Feng Le said arrogantly.
Indeed, in Feng Le's eyes, no matter how good the waiters in this shop are, they are just ordinary people. How can they be compared with people like them who eat official meals?
"I was joking. Sir, there happens to be some empty seats here. Can you guys sit here?" As he spoke, the waiter took them to an empty table in the elegant sitting hall on the second floor and said.
At this time, Feng Lefang looked at the surrounding environment. At this moment, the entire seating hall on the second floor is almost full.
"At this time, business is still so good. The owner of this store does have some skills." Feng Le thought to himself.
"Okay, that's it! Waiter, take your order!"
"Okay, what would you like to eat, sir?" the waiter asked respectfully.
"Brother Wang, thin monkey Jiang, what do you want to eat?" Feng Le asked Jiang Wei and Wang Li politely.
"This is your decision." Jiang Wei replied.
"That's right, it's up to you..." Wang Li also echoed.
After all, this is Feng Le's treat. It's good to have free food and drink. How can Jiang Wei and Wang Li have the nerve to ask for this or that? Doesn't it look like they are ignorant?
"Since the two brothers said so, I'll take the decision without you being polite." Feng Le replied in a good mood.
"Boy, please give us a ground pot chicken, a stewed duck, two pounds of boiled mutton, a plate of Dongpo pork and a plate of stir-fried vegetables..."
"Brothers, do you need anything more?" Feng Le asked Jiang Wei and Wang Li again.
"This is already very rich, no need." Listening to Feng Le's order, Jiang Wei sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Well, Jiang Wei is right, this dish is very good." Looking at Feng Lewang coming over, Wang Li quickly replied.
"Okay. Waiter, let's do this for now!" Feng Le said.
"Okay! One ground pot chicken, one stewed duck, two kilograms of boiled mutton, one plate of Dongpo pork, one plate of green vegetables..." The waiter in the shop was telling the names of the dishes, but he didn't know when he took them out. I had a small notebook and was drawing something.
"Do you need anything else?" The waiter asked again out of habit after reporting on Feng Le's order.
"No need. Bring two jars of wine first!" Feng Le ordered.
"Okay, gentlemen, please sit down for a while. The food and wine will be served soon." The waiter nodded slightly to Feng Le and others, then withdrew.
"Come, Brother Feng, Jiang Wei, let's have a cup of tea first..." After the waiter retreated, Wang Li stood up, picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for everyone.
"Thank you..." Feng Le said after picking up the tea cup and taking a sip.
…
"Hey, brother, may I ask, did Miss Qihong go on stage to sing tonight?" After sitting for a while, Feng Le saw that there was no one on the singing stage, so he couldn't help but ask the people at the table next to him. road.
After all, their table is already full of dishes, and they have been waiting for a while.
"What brother? It's really vulgar. I am Jia Xiucai." The person who was asked by Feng Le looked angry, but it made the scholars at his desk laugh.
"Oh, it turns out it's the scholar, I'm sorry. I just want to ask about Miss Qihong." Although Feng Le was disdainful of these scholars, he couldn't show it. After all, no one knows whether they will win the election in the future, so as not to get into trouble.
"What is Miss Qihong's identity? Judging from your appearance, you shouldn't have any wishful thinking. It has been said since ancient times that a talented man matches a beautiful woman. What kind of talent can you have? A toad should stay in the mud pit. If you have nothing to do, just listen to stories below. Come up here and show your strength." The scholar Jia Wen also looked at Feng Lehou and said in a strange way.
As soon as these words came out, the scholars at the table laughed again, and even the people next to him couldn't help but look over.
"Although I can't write poems or articles, how do you know that I have no talent? You, on the other hand, are not talented at all. You are just a fake scholar who follows others and eats for free." Feng Le, who lost face after being choked by Jia Wenyi She no longer paid attention to his status as a scholar, and immediately spoke back quickly.
"Haha...Brother Jia, it seems that someone looks down on you..."
"Brother Jia...we all look at you..."
Seeing Jia Wenyi being criticized, the scholars at the same table with him all looked gloating.
Note ①: Datou means filling the big head. This refers to those who are not capable of writing poems and songs, and those who are not rich yet still have to go to the second floor to pay money to listen to music.
