Chapter 88

Baiyan Restaurant has three floors, with antique decoration. The first floor is an open restaurant with more than 200 dining tables; the second floor is a box, a total of 108 boxes, spacious and bright, and a comfortable environment; the third floor is a VIP area, which is eligible to go to the third floor There are only a handful of guests.

With Tang Xiu's arrival, the manager of the restaurant had been notified long ago, and warmly greeted him and said, "You are Mr. Tang, right? I'm Chu Hanqing, the manager of our Baiyan Restaurant. The little boss has informed me just now that the VIP room on the third floor has been closed. Get ready, you and your friends can dine on the third floor. Everything you need here is free."

"lead the way!"

Tang Xiu nodded calmly.

Jia Ruidao was a little excited, followed Tang Xiu, and said with a smile, "Brother Tang, today we have been honored by you. You know, usually countless dignitaries want to go up to the third floor, but they are blocked by the security guards here." The staff stopped me. Unexpectedly, I would be able to climb to the third floor of Baiyan Restaurant one day in my life."

Tang Xiu shook his head and said, "External objects are just for enjoyment, they don't mean much."

Jia Ruidao said with a wry smile: "Everyone pursues different things. You can maintain a normal mind in the face of external things, but people like you are rare!"

Tang Xiu thought about it, and felt that what Jia Ruidao said made sense. Everyone has their own pursuits, some people pursue fame and wealth, some people pursue power and sex, some people pursue material enjoyment, and some people pursue spiritual sustenance. Just like myself, there are only two things I pursue: the daily benefits with my mother, and cultivation.

There are a total of 18 halls on the third floor, and each hall has nearly 200 square meters. Although the interior decoration is also antique, the decoration is extremely luxurious. Even if Tang Xiu didn't have much research on antiques, he could tell that there were quite a few old items inside.

"A fragment of the Qingming Riverside Picture?"

As soon as Jia Ruidao entered the living room, he found the calligraphy and painting on one side of the wall. After observing for a while, he immediately exclaimed in surprise.

The manager of the restaurant said with a smile: "Our boss once participated in an auction in the port area. This calligraphy and painting was bought at that auction. I heard that it took nine figures to bid for it."

Tang Xiu's expression changed, and he asked, "Have you met your boss? I'm not talking about your little boss."

The manager of the restaurant nodded and said: "Of course I have. I was addicted to gambling, and I lost my entire family and lost my job as CEO of a listed company. At that time, my wife and children were separated, and I didn't have enough meals. It can be said that I was extremely depressed. Fortunately, I met the boss, she paid off my debts, taught me kung fu, and let me come to this Baiyan Restaurant to help her with things. At this moment, it seems that more than 20 years have passed."

Tang Xiu asked: "What's your boss's name? How old is it?"

The manager of the restaurant said: "We can't spread the name of our boss easily. But her age! In the past ten years, I have only seen her four times. When I first met her, she looked twenty years old. About ten years ago, but the last time I saw her, she seemed to be twenty years old. In fact, I also found it strange, as if the years would not leave any traces on her body."

Twenty years old?

Does it look similar to that Gu Xiaoxue?

Tang Xiu frowned. The little girl he watched growing up in his mind seemed to be only eighteen years old when he left him for the first time.

Tang Xiu suddenly said, "Find me a pen and a piece of paper."

"Please wait!"

The restaurant manager immediately informed the other party of Tang Xiu's request through the intercom, and then put the recipe in front of Tang Xiu and the others. When Tang Xiu and the others finished ordering, the paper and pen had already been handed over to Tang Xiu. While waiting for the food, Tang Xiu "brushed" to draw a portrait on the paper.

What he painted was the appearance of his apprentice when he was in the fairy world. She was eighteen years old, like a flower. Following Tang Xiu's painting, a lifelike portrait of a young girl was born. There are beauties in the north, who can make people fall into the city with a smile, and then fall into the country with a smile.

The girl on the drawing paper had a sweet smile on her face, as if she had come to life.

"What a nice view!"

The master and apprentice Jia Ruidao in the living room, as well as the manager of the restaurant, were deeply attracted by the girl Tang Xiu drew. In a daze, they seemed to really see a beautiful girl standing in front of them and smiling at them.

"Look, is it her?"

Tang Xiu looked at the manager of the restaurant and asked in a deep voice.

The manager of the restaurant woke up from the intoxication, looked away from the painting reluctantly, shook his head and said: "You painted a fairy. Although our boss is also very beautiful, it is completely different from her appearance."

"no?"

Tang Xiu felt a sense of loss and relief in his heart. He wanted to see the disciples who had been raised and respected and taught, but he was afraid of getting involved with those who betrayed him.

"Forget it, go get busy!"

"good!"

The restaurant manager agreed and left the hall.

Delicious delicacies were delivered continuously, and altar-packed wine was also put on the table. The two young and beautiful waiters did not leave the hall. They poured wine for Tang Xiu, Jia Ruidao and the others, and then sat down in front of the sofa on the other side of the hall, waiting for Tang Xiu and the others to greet them.

“Alcohol is ok!”

Tang Xiu returned to the modern age, and this was the first time he drank alcohol. Taste it carefully and nod in approval. He has drunk countless fine wines, and he has a very high talent in wine making. But the fine wine from Baiyan Restaurant tastes pretty good.

Well enough?

Just okay?

Jia Ruidao drank his glass of wine in one gulp, showing that he was still unsatisfied. When he heard Tang Xiu's words, he was stunned. He lived for over a year, and it was the first time he drank such a delicious wine. How come Tang Xiu gave him an evaluation of "not bad"?

His three apprentices couldn't help shaking their heads at Tang Xiu's words. They are all wine lovers, and it is the first time for them to drink this level of fine wine. Therefore, they laughed secretly at Tang Xiu's evaluation.

"Brother Tang, this is not an ordinary wine. I dare say that if we order wine in the box on the second floor, it will definitely not be this kind of wine. Although the wine provided in the box on the second floor is also good, it is far from this It is." Jia Ruidao said with a smile.

Tang Xiu raised his glass and said, "Drink more if it tastes good."

It's twelve o'clock at night.

Tang Xiu and Jia Ruidao left the restaurant straight away after they were full of wine and food. Because there is no need to pay the bill, it can be regarded as saving a lot of money for Jia Ruidao's master and apprentice. You know, in the private room on the second floor, the cheapest meal may start with a hundred thousand bills. Tonight they ate a lot. Jia Ruidao secretly estimated that if they need to pay, it may not be more than a million dollars. way to leave.

In the night.

The five of them strolled along the shady path, surrounded by the dim lights on the side of the road, and occasionally small flying insects lingered. Just as they were about to walk to the parking lot, the road ahead was blocked, and the sound of ridicule even reached their ears.

"Hey, isn't this Master Jia Rui Dao Jia? You've lost that kind of virtue during the day, why are you still in the mood to go to Baiyan Restaurant to drink at night? Could it be that you want to drink away your worries?"

There are a total of twelve people in the front group. And the one who spoke was one of the three youths in front. Tang Xiu didn't know him, but Jia Ruidao and his three apprentices all knew him, and it was their enemy: Chen Kai. The well-known playboy young man in Jingmen Island.

Jia Ruidao took a step forward and said coldly: "Chen Kai, don't be arrogant. The humiliation you have done to me before will be repaid a hundredfold in the future."

Chen Kai laughed loudly and said, "Did I hear you right? Do you still have a chance to stand up? Tomorrow! Tomorrow I will let you understand why the flowers are so popular! Hahaha..."

"you……"

Jia Ruidao was furious.

"Chen Kai, is he Jia Ruidao? A well-known professional gambler?" A young man asked calmly.

Chen Kai glared at Jia Ruidao provocatively, and then said with a bit of flattery: "Brother Chu, he is Jia Ruidao, the guy who almost lost his pants to me. The three guys behind him are all his apprentices." .By the way, the youngest is his son, a filthy loser."

The young man looked at Jia Ruidao, nodded lightly and said: "Chen Kai, remember to be a human being and stay on the sidelines. I really want to see you in the future. If they bow their heads, let's forget about it! That jade pendant is pretty good, I like it very much. It will be mine from now on." .”

"Okay, okay, take it as my gift to Brother Chu." Chen Kai said happily.

Jia Ruidao was stunned. He looked at Chen Kai, then at the young man, and suddenly became furious, shouting: "Chen Kai, you fucking fart! That jade pendant is a relic of the old couple, I will definitely Do everything possible to win it back. If you dare to give it to others, don't blame the old man, I will fight you hard."

Chen Kai said disdainfully: "I won something, it's mine. What I want to do with it is none of your business? If you have the ability, just let the horse come here. I'm not afraid, young master."

"Chen Kai!"

The young man who spoke just now let out a low snort.

Chen Kai shrank his neck and said with a dry smile, "Brother Chu, it's this old boy who is looking for trouble."

Jia Ruidao's eyes became blood red, and the veins on his forehead popped out. His eyes seemed to eat people. He stared at Chen Kai and said, "What I lose will naturally be won back. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I will make you look good."

The young man surnamed Chu looked at Jia Ruidao and said calmly, "I usually don't return what I get. If you want a jade pendant, you can find me. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chu Yi and I come from the imperial capital."

Tang Xiu took a step forward, looked at Chu Yi and said, "You also said just now that you should stay on the sidelines so that we can meet each other in the future. Since that jade pendant belonged to Jia Ruidao's deceased wife, I think you should give him a chance. If he can win it back tomorrow , the jade pendant should be returned to him, if he loses tomorrow, we will never mention this jade pendant again, and this gambling game will be completely over. How about it?"

Chu Yi squinted his eyes, looked at Tang Xiu a few times, and asked with a half-smile, "Who are you?"

"Tang Xiu!"
