"Why don't you serve the wine quickly?"
Lin Yi said again.
The waiter's whole body trembled with excitement, and he recovered from the surprise. After swallowing hard, he quickly wiped the table in front of him and said flatteringly: "Kekeke... officer... , I'll... serve the wine right away!"
The wine and snacks were served quickly, and Lin Yi tasted them briefly. They were indeed good.
At this time, the female shopkeeper of Honghua Restaurant sat in front of Lin Yi and said: "Sir, this side dish that looks like peanuts is actually stir-fried with the horns of deep lake waterfall fish, and this wine is the dragon's treasure in our restaurant." Can the horn of wine come into your eyes?"
"Well, it's okay." Lin Yi said lightly.
The female shopkeeper smiled charmingly and said: "Guest, do you mean this food and wine, or do you mean this person from the slave family..."
"Both."
Lin Yishi said honestly.
The food and wine tasted really different from those eaten in the imperial dining room, but it wasn't to the point of being amazing.
As for the female shopkeeper, although she is beautiful, if you look at her for a long time, you will feel like earthly rouge.
Maybe it’s because I’ve come into contact with too many beauties, Luo Hongling, Zhang Jiuer...
They are all beautiful and fragrant. In contrast, how could this female shopkeeper make Lin Yi tempted.
The female shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, not expecting Lin Yi to say that.
But she soon stopped caring and said bluntly: "I heard from the waiter that the guest is from out of town and doesn't know anything about it. The notice posted on our door is because Lin Shuang, the top star of Hongxiufang in the capital, will meet today." When I go back to Yousi County to visit relatives, I have already booked the entire Honghua Restaurant."
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't respond, the female shopkeeper continued: "This girl Lin Shuang is not only beautiful, but also has a unique skill in playing the blood pipa. Because of this, she was even accepted as a adopted sister by the current emperor. She is really praised by all the stars. The existence of the moon.”
"As early as three days ago, she invited literati from all over the world to come to our place to discuss poems and songs."
"My guest, you are a scholar and a second-grade sub-sage. If you come, maybe Miss Lin Shuang will fall in love with you..."
"oh."
Hearing what she said, Lin was not interested. He just answered with one word, and then said: "Serve all your signature dishes."
Seeing this, the female shopkeeper's eyes were filled with admiration: "Okay, sir, please wait for half an hour. We'll have enough wine and dishes!"
After saying that, she immediately arranged for the kitchen to get busy.
hundreds of meters away.
The two third-grade scholars from Yunbei Academy emerged from the cesspit in embarrassment, spitting out the filth and filth in their mouths, with horror in their eyes.
I thought that the strength of the third-grade scholar was enough to crush him, but I didn’t expect that person was actually a second-grade sub-sage!
It's so hidden.
After calming down, one of them said angrily: "Let's go, find a place to clean up first, and then tell the dean. I don't believe it. So what if he is a second-grade Yasheng? Can he beat the dean?!"
"Walk!"
Half an hour later.
There were already more than a dozen delicacies placed in front of Lin Yi, including not only rare and exotic animals from heaven and earth, but also mountain treasures from deep in the snow-capped mountains and jungles.
After taking a few bites, Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction: "The Red Flower Tavern really deserves its reputation."
The taste was actually much more delicious than the meal I had eaten in the imperial dining room.
Full of color, flavor and seasonings.
It is said that the Benihua Tavern in Kyoto has thousands of classic delicacies. Unfortunately, I don’t know when I will go back, otherwise I must try it.
At this time, there was a movement outside the door. The diners looked outside and their eyes were instantly attracted.
"It's Miss Lin Shuang, she's here, she's really here!"
"This beauty is truly legendary and will captivate a country..."
"Hey, look, the one on her right seems to be Ma Qian, the leader of this year's imperial examination. I heard that he rejected the Holy Court and joined the imperial court. He established himself in the imperial court within a year... "
"And the one behind you, Lin Kai, the grandson of the Southwest King, and... Wow, so many talented people have been invited. It is worthy of Miss Lin Shuang's appeal."
"Who is that person standing next to Miss Lin Shuang? He looks a bit majestic."
"do not know......."
"I don't know him either..."
"..."
While everyone was talking, a group of people walked into the Red Flower Tavern one after another. The female shopkeeper came up to them and said, "Miss Lin, the preparations have been made above. As for the lobby, the place will be cleared after these guests have finished eating."
Lin Shuang smiled sweetly, and her voice was like a leaping green bird: "No need, Sister Ruan. We are not talking about any secrets today. Anyone who wants to listen can come."
She glanced around and saw a man in the corner who didn't respond at all to the arrival of everyone. He was just enjoying the food. She couldn't help but leave some impression on this man.
"please."
The female shopkeeper stretched out her hand.
Lin Shuang bent his knees slightly to show his goodwill and walked up, followed by a group of people. Soon they were on the second and third floors. Both the entrance and the wing were full.
Looking towards a man sitting next to him, drinking tea, he also noticed Lin Yi who was silently cooking.
"This guy is quite interesting."
The man smiled slightly.
Standing next to him was a slightly sinister man. Seeing this, he said, "Huang...why did Boss Huang say that?"
"eventful."
Boss Huang said, the sinister man suddenly did not dare to say anything.
I was afraid that if I was not careful, my head would fall to the ground.
Not long after, seeing that the time had come, Lin Shuang stood up and greeted everyone with a smile: "Everyone, I invite you talented people to come here today. I want to ask for a poem for one of my sisters. This poem needs to be composed on the spot. , the higher the talent, the better, of course, the little girl will also comply with his request, even if it is the blood pipa music score, it is okay."
"this......"
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at each other, a little at a loss.
Before they came, they had already prepared excellent poems and songs, especially Xun Song, who was among the top three in the palace examination together with Ma Qian, and even brought Mingzhou's poem to encourage students to study, which he had inspired when they were in the Holy Academy!
But now, Miss Lin Shuang said that she wanted to do it on the spot!
For a moment, I didn’t know what to do.
At this time, Xun Song stepped forward confidently and said: "The princess is already your majesty's sworn sister, and she has been granted the title of Sanshui County, but she still calls herself a little girl. She is really close to the people, and I admire you very much. However, the inspiration for this poem and song was limited on the spot." Naturally, my talent is not that high. This pair in my hand is a poem from Mingzhou. How about giving the wine to the princess's sisters?"
"yes......"
"It's too difficult to compose poetry on the spot..."
Everyone agreed.
However, Lin Shuang shook his head and sighed: "Have you ever heard about Meng Jiang's search for her husband?"
Hearing this, many people shook their heads in confusion, but the waiter intervened and said: "What the princess said was the talented girl Meng Jiang who walked a hundred and eighty thousand miles barefoot just to find a husband?"
"Exactly!"
Lin Shuang nodded.
"Meng Jiang?!"
At this time, many people suddenly remembered this name, as if they had seen it somewhere.
"That talented girl Meng Jiang who ranked first in the Linjiang Provincial Examination five years ago and later entered Qingshan Academy? I have an impression that she seems to have worshiped Mrs. Li Ran." Xun Song also remembered it.
"Yes, she is talented. She once wrote a poem about her talent in Mingzhou. However, the good times did not last long. Three years ago, after she married her childhood sweetheart Fan Xi, not long after, her husband was attacked by thieves. Harmful, I heard that they were sold into slavery, and finally sold as coolies to the labor force building the Great Wall..."
Speaking of this, Lin Shuang choked up: "So, Meng Jiang set out on the road to find her husband. In the past three years, she walked barefoot across the 100,000 kilometers of the Great Wall, and walked countless times, just to find her husband. Fan Lang..."
"So, the little girl thought, use today's party as a gimmick to make this matter known to the world!"
"Use the power of all the people in the world to find a good man for her, so that my sister will not feel sad!"
