Chapter 113, this wine

Nangong Hong was satisfied with the food and was in high spirits, so he started to compete with Xiaoqi.

The two grandparents and grandsons had a lot of fun, so Liu Ruyue took the pen and ink to record the couplets they had compared.

In the hurry of recording, she didn't have much thought to think about the meaning of these couplets. After seeing them off, she was amazed that even though Nangong Hong, who had never heard of in her previous life, the couplets she gave were very exquisite.

That little seven is worthy of being a Hanlin, and can match it. The occasional first couplet can also stump Nangong Hong.

Packed up the tables and chairs,

But the old man refused to give in, "No, no, I want to couplets."

"Or what, you'll meet today and come and eat tomorrow?"

"No, I'm going to eat now."

"But I just bought the store this morning and bought some daily necessities in the afternoon. It was hygienic in it. Now I have to make twelve dishes, two pots of wine, and two desserts, but I really can't make it." Liu Ruyue tried to reason with the old man.

She took a step back and let the old man see that the stools were placed on the table and the floor that had not yet been dried. "Or, after you match the couplet, today I will only make three dishes, and the remaining wine and dishes, you can come at any time in the future, and I will make up for you.

But because this is not a table of ten couplets every day, I can’t give you all free. Today you can eat three dishes for free, and then you will be 50% off."

"Ha, the boss lady is quite confident in her cooking skills. If I don't like eating, I won't come later. 50% off? You can give me all, and I won't come either." The old man waved and followed the servant behind him to him.

"master."

"You go back and call Xiaoqi, saying that I have found something delicious."

"..." He is already calling friends to come for dinner.

Liu Ruyue was speechless. If the old man hadn't been wearing a bad dress, she would have suspected that he was here to eat and drink.

"Yes." The servant turned around and was about to leave, but the old man pulled his sleeves, "Please help me in first."

"Master, you haven't picked up the couplet yet."

"Oh, boss lady, come here."

Liu Ruyue took out the inkstone and brush that had not been dried yet and handed it to him.

The old man took the pen and became energetic. He walked to the wooden board and wrote it.

The first couplet written by Liu Ruyue says: If there are insects in water, there are turbid water and fish, there are fish, and the water, the rivers and lakes are vast.

The old man's second couplet said: Below the wood is the original wood, the bottom wood, wood, pine, cypress, camphor,

The old man's words, flying dragons and phoenixes, are much more grand than Liu Ruyue.

The old man raised his head and raised his chest, touched his beard proudly, with his eyes flashing with a look of praising, "How is it?"

Who would care about these with the old kids? Liu Ruyue praised, "The old man is right!"

After praising him, he gasped for the old man and threw the brush at the servant, "What's this?"

"I dare say that I can match all the couplets you have." He came over and said with a secret expression, but kept a distance, "I'll tell you, if the dishes you cook are delicious, I will give you free couplets. In this way, not many people in the capital can match them."

He glanced at the old man's servant. His bragging to the old man did not show any guilt or embarrassment, but instead felt a little proud. It seemed that what the old man said was not completely fake.

But when you go out, who knows if they are a group of liars?

Liu Ruyue asked the old man to enter the door and simply opened the other door, making people openly see the situation in the store still cleaning up.

He took down all the stools on the table at the door, wiped them dry, and reached out to ask the old man to sit down.

"The old man is joking. I open the door to do business, but it's not about studying. It's stumped all the literati in the world. Can my restaurant be called the God of Food? Who will eat the food I cook then? So this couplet cannot be too difficult or too simple."

However, her words were exchanged for the old man's words, "Long hair and short knowledge."

Liu Ruyue smiled in her heart. They were caught. If they were really capable and had a status in the capital, they could use his reputation.

But she couldn't rush to beg him for this matter.

Now she didn't even know who the other party's surname was, so she couldn't ask directly. Liu Ruyue looked at the talkative servant angrily, "Oh, what do you mean?"

The servant proudly raised his chin, "My master is Nangong Yue, the great scholar of the world..."

What, this old man is Nangong Yue?

Even though Liu Ruyue didn't go out often in her previous life, she had heard of this person's name. Who among the scholars in the world would not want to study under his disciples? Many officials in the court had been enlightened by him.

She was so lucky that she met him before the restaurant opened?!

"My younger brother Nangong Hong."

"..." He was breathing heavily when he spoke, and it was a disease!

Liu Ruyue wanted to give this servant a meal to replenish qi and blood and lung-tonifying medicinal food.

Nangong Hong, sorry, she has never heard of it.

"What do you mean by your look? You are ignorant and look down on my master? Do you think that my master is so old and he is relying on his brother's name to cheat food and drink outside?"

I didn't say anything, you just finished it yourself.

He was wondering in his heart, and Liu Ruyue quickly looked for a supplement, "I just came to the capital and I am not familiar with the place. I have never heard of the pumpkin and moon mentioned by my little brother."

The old man burst into laughter, laughing much more sincere than before, "That's right, no matter how good his knowledge is, he thought everyone in the world knew him, bah, to seek fame."

"Haha." She couldn't interrupt someone else's affairs, so she had to laugh with her side.

"Anyway, as long as you cook the dishes well, I will help you create couplets. You will say to the outside world that I was born by Nangong Hong. If those students can't even match my couplets, they will not be qualified to meet my brother." The old man curled his lips. His age did not affect his younger brother.

Nangong Yue can't come, it's good to have Nangong Hong. As long as he is really Nangong Yue's younger brother, this move is actually a gimmick.

Liu Ruyue looked at the two of them suspiciously, "Is your names useful?"

He looked like an ignorant villain.

Nangong Hong shook his head, "It's useful, of course it's useful. If those scholars don't match it, that's right. If they don't match it, they will ask people with their ability to come and treat me with their couplets. Hey, let's see how I mess with those old guys at that time."

"..." Have you been involved in the love, hate, and love among older playboys in the capital?

Liu Ruyue nodded skeptically, "Okay, I'll believe you for a while. If you are unhappy at ten tables every day, I'll ask you to pay for it."

"No, no, no, I'm very famous!" As he said that, Nangong Hong got gasped, "The premise is that the food you cook is delicious. If it's not delicious, I won't help you."

Liu Ruyue also wanted to take advantage of this east wind and planned to find out about his preferences, "What kind of food do you like to eat?"
