Returning to you in the depths of the white clouds

"If you want to talk about the most legendary figures in the arena decades ago, you have to mention the 'Five Sages'. You should know that the 'Five Sages' are not talking about five people, but one person; the 'Five Sages' The 'five' is not the 'wu' of the 'martial arts', but five fingers stretched out, and the five skills are all the geniuses of the ages!"

The storyteller in Yingxiang Tower is telling the story of the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes with the fragrance of tea and wine full of seats.

Shengzhou City is not too big, and there are not many high-grade restaurants, and Yingxiang Restaurant is one of the best.

Of course, compared to the two Yingxiang restaurants in Jingzhou and Los Angeles, the one in Shengzhou can only be ranked at the bottom, but in the southwest area, other restaurants can only come close.

Yingxianglou is most famous for its Wuhuan wine, which is brewed from the main store in Jingzhou and sent to two branches every year. Whether it is a scholar or a wanderer, everyone flocks to this wine.

At this time, it was noon, and it was also a very lively time in the restaurant.The waiter who was in charge of welcoming guests had a chance to catch his breath, and while the shopkeeper was not paying attention, he hurriedly found a low stool near the door to sit on for a while.Strange to say, every year when Wuhuanjiu was sent to Shengzhou from Jingzhou, it should be the busiest day in Yingxianglou, and the number of drinkers rushing to order Wuhuanjiu was the most at that time; In autumn, the time for Wuhuan wine to be released has long passed, and there are only some unsold precious goods left in the store for the distinguished customers. There are many more days.

Xiaoer himself has only been in Yingxiang Building for a few months, and the wages are indeed higher than before, but the degree of hard work is also doubled - it shows that there will never be easy money in this world. of silver.

He was feeling emotional in his heart, when suddenly a figure blocked the light coming in from the door, Xiaoer reacted quickly, and immediately stood up to meet him.

But seeing a well-dressed young man in white walking in leisurely, waving a paper fan, he stopped slightly to look at the grand occasion in the store.Maybe because he didn't expect that there were so many people in the store at this time, he seemed to be slightly taken aback, and then slowly put away the fan in his hand.

Seeing this young master's appearance, he is very different from those who have come and gone in the past few days. Xiaoer thought that he might be a literati who came here to play, so his tone was a little more polite, and he went forward and said with a smile: "This My lord, I'm really sorry, there are too many customers in the shop at the moment, if you don't mind, I'll find a clean table for you, see if it's okay to sit together..."

"No." Before Xiao Er finished speaking, the man who looked like a young master opened his mouth, his tone was not as unkind as what he said, but he was still smiling.The smile was connected to the corners of the mouth and the eyebrows, and when the little girl looked up after listening to the voice, she was facing a pair of smiling peach eyes.He couldn't help being stunned for a while, and saw that young man reached out and handed over a crystal dice, which was shaken in front of his eyes, but it was enough for people to see clearly: on the side of the dice that should have been engraved with six dots, a prominent Come out a "suffering" word.

Xiao Er was startled—the clerks in Yingxiang Building naturally knew what the dice meant, but he had never seen the word "suffering" engraved on the side of "six" in the days he had been here.He knew in his heart that this is a good-looking young master who must be a distinguished guest, and immediately showed great respect: "It turns out that it is a distinguished guest, and distinguished guests often have private rooms, let me guide you up later."

The distinguished guest smiled and nodded, without saying anything else, followed him to a quiet private room at the corner of the second floor, took his seat, and then said: "Call your shopkeeper for me, just say it's your surname." Xu’s. And—”

"I know, no wine." Xiao Er was very clever, and immediately answered the words.After getting the nod from the distinguished guest, he hurried downstairs to prepare.

Xu Yuqing played with the crystal dice for a while, then casually placed it beside the folding fan on the table.It may take a while for Xiao Er to find the shopkeeper, and he knows that the shop is in full swing at the moment.

The lobby on the first floor was full of quacks, and there was a storyteller in the hall, who was sitting at the table, telling vividly the legendary stories that quacks loved to hear.

Anyway, Xu Yuqing was not in a hurry, and listened to the content of the storytelling with interest for a while, and after a few sentences, he knew that what the storyteller was talking about was "The Legend of the Five Sages", which has been in fashion for many years.

I'm afraid that there is no quack who doesn't know this story, but the storyteller is really clever and clever--the quacks who are crowded into Shengzhou City at the moment are probably not here for the "five sages".

Xu Yuqing was listening to the content of the storytelling for fun, when he saw a chubby figure walking up the second floor quickly, coming towards the elegant room.The fat man has such a solid figure, and he is holding a plate of wine and vegetables in his hands, but his steps up the stairs are extremely light, walking quickly in this crowded restaurant, not spilling a drop of a pot of wine, his movements are extremely flexible up.

Xu Yuqing smiled even wider with her peach blossom eyes, facing the fat man who walked to the table in a few steps, and teased: "I haven't seen you for a few years, shopkeeper Lu is good at both stature and footwork."

Shopkeeper Lu closed the door of the private room, sat down at Xu Yuqing's table by himself, waved his fat hands with a smile, and served the food and wine while answering the conversation: "Mr. Xu, don't laugh at me! It's been several years I haven't seen you, why do you remember that Shengzhou came to see me?"

Xu Yuqing took the Wuhuan wine, sniffed it first with her nose, but replied in a rude manner: "Where did I come to see you, didn't I come to join in the 'big fun'?" The shopkeeper Jianlu listened With a smile, he raised his chin towards the storyteller downstairs: "You know how to do business, and you have to dig out the old scripts and find someone to tell them."

"Hahaha, let's talk about the ancients and talk about the ancients, just do what you like. Who doesn't want to hear more about that saint?" Shopkeeper Lu smiled and said, "Aren't you too?"

"What I want to hear is not what these people know." Xu Yuqing put the wine glass in his hand on the table, raised his eyes slightly to look at the shopkeeper Lu who was about to speak, and then raised his hand to cut off the other person's words: "Neither We’re in such a hurry, let’s talk in detail later. As for me, I’m here first to eat and live.” After speaking, he flicked the crystal dice at hand with his fingers, and the dice bounced in front of shopkeeper Lu.

Shopkeeper Lu held down the dice with some trepidation, and held it back in front of Xu Yuqing with both hands: "Okay, hurry up and put it away, you, there are not many of these precious things, and you are taking them out to prove your identity to people who don't know you No. Can I still not know you? Our landlord said earlier that you are not a guest in the building, and you are free to eat and live as you want."

Only then did Xu Yuqing put the dice back into her arms with a smile: "Then I won't be polite."

"All right, all right, I'll arrange a good place for you." Shopkeeper Lu smiled helplessly.

Yingxianglou has never been a simple restaurant in the eyes of Jianghu guests.This is one of the most important venues for middlemen to exchange information and "business", and it is rumored that the owner of Yingxiang Building is the biggest information dealer in the Jianghu.The information of Yingxianglou has always been sold only to trustworthy people. If ordinary people do not have the crystal dice that symbolize trust, they will not be able to buy news if they have money. The one holding the highest treatment is this special dice with a mark engraved on the six-point face.

Of course, for Xu Yuqing, one of the most important functions of this dice is to be able to eat and live in Yingxiang Building—especially at this time, almost every inn in Shengzhou City is full.Yingxiang Building is only a restaurant for outsiders, and does not accommodate outsiders. It is clean and comfortable without fear of interference. It is definitely the best place to live.

After all, there may be troubles everywhere in Shengzhou City, where there are so many people from the rivers and lakes.

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Lu's voice just fell, and he was about to get up and go downstairs to make arrangements, but there was a sudden change in the downstairs hall.

A woman in a dark red dress came in at some unknown time, and aggressively stabbed at a man on the left side of the hall.There was a commotion in the hall, and a gap was created in an instant, and the storyteller didn't know where to hide.

Xu Yuqing thought a little amusedly: This trouble came really fast.
