Song Che never thought that he could become a martial arts master. He just wanted to learn one and a half moves for self-defense.
Muskets and electric batons are too affected by environmental factors and will completely lose their effectiveness once exposed to water. In the end, you still have to rely on your own fists to regain a sense of security.
The next day.
Song Che and Lin Yue took the design drawings with them early in the morning and asked Zhou Yazhao to act as their guide, looking for skilled craftsmen in Hangzhou city.
The most important thing is to build furniture first. As for some major projects, it is not too late to repair them slowly after moving.
Busy and busy, the morning passed by.
I happened to pass by Wangjiang Inn.
Yesterday Zhou Yazhao said that Qi Hong, the young master of Qi who harassed him, lives in this inn. What a coincidence, isn't it? Just in time to declare sovereignty!
Wangjiang Inn, sitting on the bank of the Qiantang River, the autumn air is crisp and the scenery is pleasant. If I had come a quarter of an hour later, there would not even be a seat on the ground floor.
"Please wait a moment, sir. The food and drinks will be here soon."
The waiter wiped the table, made fragrant tea for the three of them, greeted them and left.
Song Che suddenly stopped him, pointed to the three wooden plaques tied with red silk hanging from the beam and asked:
"What do these wooden signs mean?"
The waiter said "Oh", "Sir, are you a foreigner? This is our daily 'luck' at Wangjiang Inn -
Our boss, in order to give back to our guests, hangs three difficult questions on the beams every day. Each question is different in difficulty, and there will be corresponding rewards, such as a free dish, a bottle of wine, or even a free order today. Na;
The topic will start at noon when all the guests are seated. Our boss Wang will personally take down the wooden sign and remove the red silk to preside over the ceremony. If the guests feel that they are smart enough, they might as well give it a try later. "
Song Che smiled lightly: "Looks like I can have another free lunch today."
The waiter said: "Hey, guest, please don't say big words up front. Although our Wangjiang Inn is not an elegant place, there are many talented people who are willing to come and have a chance to win the lottery. The competitiveness is quite high. Leah."
Song Che laughed and said nothing. During the Shangyuan Festival in Luoyang last year, he won the title of "Guessing King" by himself. Is it necessary to tell this little guy? There is no need. You should be low-key and make a fortune in silence.
Soon, the food and wine were served.
Just as they were about to move their chopsticks, a call suddenly came from the stairwell:
"Shopkeeper Zhou?"
I saw a young man of twenty-four or five years old, wearing a cloud robe, with a face like a crown of jade, a hairpin on his head, and holding a folding fan, walking downstairs with a smile.
Judging from Zhou Yazhao's stern expression, this person must be Qi Gongzi Qi Hong.
Qi Hong walked to the table, smiled and bowed: "Shopkeeper Zhou came to Wangjiang Inn, why don't you tell me so that I can arrange a banquet?"
Zhou Yazhao forced a smile and said, "I just happened to be passing by and had a quick meal. I don't need to worry about it, Mr. Qi."
Qi Hong glanced at the three dishes and one soup on the table and shook his head, "Shopkeeper Zhou, look at your frail body, how can you eat so poorly?"
He folded the fan, raised his arms and called: "Xiaoer!"
"Come on!"
The waiter hurried over and asked, "What are your orders, Mr. Qi?"
Qi Hong said loudly: "Bring over all the most expensive and nutritious dishes you have here, and charge all expenses to my account."
"okay--"
"Wait a minute."
Song Che raised his hand slightly to stop the waiter and said, "Four dishes are enough for the three of us. There is no need to order more."
Qi Hong was not blind. He had already discovered that Song Che, who was sitting at the table with Zhou Yazhao, was just pretending not to see him. Now Song Che spoke, and he smiled and said: "My friend, this is wrong. Eat well and eat well." There are two concepts of good food. Those who have no money pursue fullness, while rich people only pursue taste. Even if you only take one bite and feel it is delicious, the money will be well spent."
Song Che glanced at Qi Hong contemptuously and asked, "So, you are rich?"
Qi Hong looked proud and said softly: "There are quite a lot of properties in the two Zhejiang areas."
Song Che said "Oh" softly, stamped his chopsticks, picked up two pieces of beef respectively, and handed them to Zhou Yazhao and Lin Yue: "Eat."
The coffee positions are different, no need to say more.
Seeing that he was being ignored, Qi Hong's face twitched twice, and he took the initiative to sit down next to Zhou Yazhao: "Shopkeeper Zhou, I happen to have some business to discuss with you——"
Lin Yue kicked the bench away and shouted: "Are you ignorant of yourself, or are you too shameless? Don't you see that you are a redundant person?"
Qi Hong suppressed his blush and turned to Zhou Yazhao again: "Shopkeeper Zhou, I ordered several thousand taels of goods from your house. What's wrong? You don't even have this bit of sincerity?"
"Sincerity!"
Song Che slammed his chopsticks on the table, stood up and faced Qi Hong in a cold voice, "This is based on mutual respect. Zhou Yazhao is my fiancée, and Zhou Dafa jewelry is also my property. At present, the white jade paste has not yet been sent to Qi Hong. You deliver the goods, and you can go back on your word at any time. Anyway, as far as I am concerned, this bowl of rice is the same to anyone, and a few thousand taels is nothing in my eyes."
Not to be outdone, Qi Hong said: "Okay, then I announce that this business between our two families will be cancelled. From now on, my Qi family will never cooperate with you, Zhou Dafa!"
Who cares!
Song Che didn't bother to look at him anymore and sat down to continue eating.
Qi Hong landed at another table and never took his eyes away from Song Che.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
At this time, I saw a middle-aged man with a rich appearance walking up the stairs holding a gong and beating it. The waiter behind him shouted:
"Dear guests, please eat and drink well. Today's 'Lottery' is about to begin. I apologize for disturbing you."
A meal at Wangjiang Inn will cost at least ten taels of silver, and it will be a happy occasion, so why not do it?
The diners put down their chopsticks one after another, wiped their mouths with oil, and were eager to try.
Boss Wang used a bamboo pole to remove a bamboo sign, uncovered the red silk, took a look, smiled, and said to the guests:
"This first prize is a riddle, and it's not too difficult. If any customer can tell the answer in the shortest time, we will give you a 30% discount on the food and wine on your table today,"
He cleared his throat and tried to be louder so that people upstairs and downstairs could hear: "Everyone, listen up——
I would like to ask: 'Why do the big Buddhas in major temples sit south and face north instead of north and south? '"
“Because it’s good feng shui to sit south and face north!”
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Does your house face south and north? Good Feng Shui is to face south and north! Even the current imperial palace faces south and north!"
"Hey, you hit the nail on the head. Perhaps the temple was afraid of causing trouble for the palace, so it deliberately did the opposite. Boss Wang, is this answer correct?"
"No, no, guess again."
"Hmph, what's so difficult about this?"
Qi Hong stood up from his seat, closed his folding fan, pointed to the north and said: "Buddhists say: The north is the world, and the south is the pure land. The reason why the Buddha sits south and faces north is because our Buddha is compassionate and has the intention to overcome the sufferings of the world! "
