I arrived at Taoshan in the morning and spent nearly four or five hours there. I just visited a small corner of Taoshan. Taoshan occupies a vast area in Xuanyuan Hill and is full of picturesque scenery. There are streams, cliffs, and waterfalls everywhere. The literati of the past dynasties The stone carvings of Saoke, as well as the underground palace caves, which are known as one of the ten scenic spots in Taoshan. It would take at least a week to visit Taoshan.
After walking around the place where Yan Feiqing had beaten someone, it was already noon.
Seeing that various restaurants along the Taoxi River at the foot of Taoshan Mountain were already busy, Zhang Tie was satisfied, so he took his two daughters to a restaurant that looked pretty good on the side of the Taoxi River in Taoshan Mountain and went to have lunch. Take a break.
The waiters who solicit customers in front of restaurants in Xuanyuan Hill are famous in Taixia for their poisonous eyes. These people are used to seeing all kinds of people in Xuanyuan Hill, ranging from princes and nobles to traffickers and pawns. There are also wealthy merchants, royal families, strange people and strangers from various subcontinents, etc., who have already developed a pair of sharp eyes through experience.
Zhang Tie had just led Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing to the door of the restaurant called Xiankeju. When the waiter saw the three people, his eyes lit up. Without thinking, he turned his head and shouted into the restaurant, " Just like singing, "Three distinguished guests, please take a private room in the Tianzi No. 1 box..." After saying this, the waiter immediately smiled with a smile on his face. He nodded and bowed to Zhang Tie and others, making an invitation gesture, "Please, you three, Please come inside, please come inside, the three of you will come, the shop will be full of glory, and it will definitely satisfy the three of you..."
Seeing that the waiter was amusing, Zhang Tie laughed, flicked his fingers, and a gold coin flew towards the waiter, "It's a reward for you, lead the way..."
The waiter quickly took the gold coins, the smile on his face became a little more eager, and the service became even more enthusiastic.
It's lunch time now, and there are already many people in the restaurant, which is quite lively.
There is a patio inside the restaurant. There is a platform in the middle of the patio, and there is an echo wall behind the platform. An elegant woman is sitting on a stool, holding a bamboo harp in each hand, and is striking the strings of the dulcimer. A cheerful and sweet sound emerged from the piano platform like spring water. fascinating.
The diners gathered in the restaurant sat in a large circle around the patio, eating one by one. While listening to the water-like sound of the dulcimer, there were bursts of applause from time to time. From time to time, guests would throw some copper coins and silver coins into the sink in front of the stage as a reward for the performing woman.
Because the tip money was thrown into the box and the tinkling sound was a bit indecent and might affect the performance of the people on the stage, so it was thrown into the sink instead. The falling water made no sound and seemed more elegant. Every time After the performance. The store will count it again, or take a commission, and then take out the money in the water tank to the artist. This money is the artist's water money, and the water money is clean money throughout Taixia. There are countless artists who live on money. The artists perform and the audience rewards them. This can be regarded as a unique scenery in Taixia Hotel.
The three people entered the restaurant, led by the waiter. Just go up the stairs from the corridor to the left of the door, go to the second floor, and enter an elegant private room.
The private room is separated from the outside by a two-layer folded wooden peach screen. The window at the back of the private room faces Taoxi, while the window on the other side allows you to enjoy the performances of the artists downstairs.
"What do you three think of this place?"
"Not bad. Let's go here!" Zhang Tie is not too picky about these things. If he hadn't brought Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian with him, it wouldn't matter if Zhang Tie was in the lobby below. Seeing that this place is clean and elegant, It was decided to sit here, and the three of them sat down at the table.
"I heard that the mandarin fish at Taoxi in Xuanyuan Hill is pretty good..." Bai Suxian said to Zhang Tie with a smile.
"You guys, there is no mandarin fish available in the store these days. If you want to eat mandarin fish, you have to wait two months..." Upon hearing Bai Suxian's words, the waiter immediately said with a smile on his face.
"Ah, why?"
"Please take a look, sir!" The waiter pointed at a painting hanging in the box and the couplets on both sides of the painting.
The scene in the painting is the scenery of Taoxi and Taoshan. In the clear stream, mandarin fish with slightly fat bellies are swimming. Some mandarin fish are opening their mouths in the water, eating the food falling on the water. The petals of the peach blossoms, as well as the birds chirping on the peach trees, are feeding. The birds in the nest open their mouths wide. The birds and fish are both vivid and vivid. On both sides of this painting is a Vice couplet.
"I advise you not to eat fish in March, as there are thousands of fish larvae in your belly."
"I advise you not to kill the three spring birds. The son is waiting in the nest for his mother to return."
"This is a rule set by the store owner. Most of the restaurants here in Taoshan are also like this. Sir, don't blame me..." the waiter explained with a smile on his face, "In the past two days, except for Taoxi Mandarin Fish, , the shop actually has many specialty dishes and signature dishes. The shop’s peach blossom cakes and peach blossom wine are also excellent, and they are guaranteed to satisfy you, sir... "
"Okay, then just watch as the food is served!" Zhang Tie smiled and didn't embarrass the waiter. There was no need to order anything, just let the waiter bring the delicious food.
"I guess there are too many dishes that three of us can't finish. It's a waste. So how about the shop give you a few signature seasonal dishes and some refreshments?"
"OK!"
The waiter bowed and exited the room.
Zhang Tie looked at the paintings and couplets hanging in the room again, and suddenly said to Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian with emotion, "I know now that the so-called strength of the Hua people and Taixia is by no means just There are many knights and superior force. The source of the strength of Taixia and the Chinese people is still in the culture of the Chinese people. In other subcontinents, various dynasties and races rise and fall alternately. Every two or three hundred years, there is a new situation. Every time there are dynasties and Rich families will prosper and then decline, and cannot last long. However, from the Catastrophe to the present, Taixia has become stronger and stronger. Why, because among all the civilizations and countries of all races, only the Chinese know what cherishing blessings is and what the virtue of heaven is. , this is a powerful gene rooted in the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. With such cultural heritage, it is difficult for the Chinese nation not to be strong!"
Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian listened and nodded.
In a short while, the food was ready.
Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing were enjoying themselves while tasting the dishes in the store, chatting and enjoying the performance below.
Just in the middle of the meal, heavy footsteps sounded in the corridor outside. It seemed that a group of people were walking outside. Among the footsteps, there was a loud and rough voice, speaking in a somewhat unstandardized way. shouted in Chinese, "What? If you spend less than 30 silver coins on the standard room upstairs, you will be charged a room fee of 2 silver coins. Why is it so expensive?"
Hearing this voice, Zhang Tie's whole body was excited. The chopsticks in his hand suddenly stopped and he forgot to move...
Zhang Tie will never forget this voice, because the owner of this voice is the one-eyed dragon Captain Colin who once left the darkest and most terrifying impression on all the male beasts among the Seventh Male of Black Flame City during their adolescence. At the beginning, few of the animals in The Seventh Man were not living in the shadow of this man. Even Zhang Tie himself felt for a while that this one-eyed dragon might be one of the most terrifying people in the world.
If his body had not recovered and his hearing was not normal at this moment, Zhang Tie would have almost thought that he was hallucinating.
Seeing that Zhang Tie stopped when he heard this voice, Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing both cast curious eyes on Zhang Tie. Both of them guessed that Zhang Tie might be familiar with the person who made the voice outside.
"Do you know people outside?" Yan Feiqing's voice reached his ears, and Zhang Tie nodded.
Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian looked at each other and stopped talking. Both of them were curious about Zhang Tie's relationship with the people outside.
"Colin, this is a private room, not a standard room. I've told you many times, why do you always get it confused!" Another helpless and lazy voice sounded. This voice was equally familiar to Zhang Tie. It belonged to Jerome , compared to Captain Colin's half-baked Chinese, Jerome's Chinese is much more authentic, "Okay, since there are no tables downstairs, then we will take the private room upstairs..."
Jerome said the latter sentence to the waiter.
"Do we still have that much money? Who told us this morning that we should save a little more. Although it is very pleasant to eat the Overlord meal here, I guess we may not be able to bear the consequences..." Captain Colin mumbled. Get up, this sentence is no longer in Chinese, but in Hebrew.
"Who said we have to eat the King's meal? The province is the province, but we can't wrong ourselves too much..." Jerome replied in Hebrew, and while talking, several people entered the private room next to Zhang Tie and the others, " Anyway, if the money runs out, then go to Milton to apply for some activity funds..."
"But the old guy Milton has been looking at us more and more wrongly these days. I think he may think we are liars, and he is thinking about how to deal with us and cut us into pieces!" Captain Colin continued to use Xibo muttered.
"Can you show me your menu?" Entering the private room next to him, Jerome ignored Captain Colin and said to the waiter in the store in Chinese.
After ordering a few dishes and the waiter leaving, Jerome's voice sounded again, saying in Hebrew, "He just suspected, not confirmed, this is Taixia, the hill of Xuanyuan, the city of ten thousand cities of the human race." The city, the capital of all nations, is a place where knights who kill for no reason will be beheaded. No big shot in any country has extraterritorial rights here. Milton doesn't dare to do anything to us. Besides, we can't be blamed for this. The three of us who came here For many months, he has been holding a pile of documents, but he has not even seen the diplomats of the Republic of Lesa in Xuanyuan Hill, let alone the diplomats of Taixia. What can we do... "
