Chapter 28

The shopkeeper of Wangjinglou, surnamed Cui, is a middle-aged man in his thirties. This person looks ordinary, but has an extraordinary temperament. It makes people feel that he is not a merchant shopkeeper, but a Confucian scholar.

It was only later that Bai Fan found out that this Wangjinglou was originally owned by the Qinghe Cui family, and the shopkeeper was also a collateral branch of the Cui family. Although he was only a shopkeeper, he was not comparable to others!
"I don't know what the honorable guests are doing to me?" the shopkeeper asked with a salute.

Bai Fan replied, "A few people want to go up to the third floor of the Wangjing Tower for dinner. I heard that there is a rule on the third floor not to go upstairs. Does it mean that if I can write a poem, I can go up to eat for free?"

Li Chunfeng was speechless, maybe my little uncle forgot, what I just explained to you just now, you need to pay money after you compose a poem!

The shopkeeper replied: "This, no! The honored guest has misunderstood. According to the rules of the Wangjing Building, the honored guests can only be eligible to go to the third floor if they leave the works of great talents. There is no such thing as free, and the food and drinks are still charged! The rumors have misled the distinguished guests!"

Bai Fan's expression changed instantly when he heard it, and he said loudly: "Oh? Martial nephew, that's not the case! Hmph, I thought Wangjinglou was some kind of elegant place, but it turned out to be a filthy place full of copper stink!

Why don't you go upstairs without talent?It's just unreasonable. If you pay a lot of money for one of my uncle's poems, you will be robbed of your head, and here you are even greedy for money. This restaurant is really terrible. According to my uncle, it is really a black shop!

Let's go, let's see what a good place you're looking for, it's just a matter of polluting the gentleness of scholars! "

Li Chunfeng was a little confused for a while, and several apprentices were also confused, so they followed Bai Fan and were about to go out.

The shopkeeper here can't bear to hear it. You guys, come here and misunderstand the rules. It doesn't matter whether you want to go up to eat and earn money or not, but you are so good, how dare you slander the restaurant for nothing?Still say it's a black shop?What a madman!
"Wait! My son, Wangjinglou has been an old shop for many years. The rules have always been like this. How can you slander me out of thin air? Hmph, could it be that he is an incompetent lunatic who deliberately caused trouble here? Or he has no money and wants to mess Eat and drink?"

At this time, there were already many people watching, commenting and pointing fingers!
Bai Fan stopped and turned around, "Hahahaha! It's really ridiculous, Huaimo, show him the money you have on you!"

A few ingots of gold ingots appeared, and the onlookers in the restaurant were suddenly speechless!

"Did you see? It's not that I don't have the money to eat, but I think your meal on the third floor of the Wangjing Building is not worth a poem of mine. I want you to leave a poem here? Hehe, it's free. It’s not enough to invite me to dinner, let alone covet money again?”

you!Shopkeeper Cui did not expect this person to be so arrogant at such a young age?

Other onlookers also booed one after another!
"Okay! Since the young master has threatened so much, I can't be rude in Wangjinglou. I hereby promise that if the young master can really produce a masterpiece, then the young master will be the distinguished guest of Wangjinglou. From now on, the young master will be in Wangjinglou. All expenses on the floor are free!

I just don't know if what the young master said is true or not? Shopkeeper Cui gritted his teeth and said loudly.

Bai Fan smiled, very proud of himself, finally hooked, no need to spend money on meals in the future!

"Of course it's true. It's unbelievable that the shopkeeper has such courage? If you don't believe me, can you and I prove it?" Bai Fan said.

"It doesn't need to be like this. Everyone here is here to testify. As long as you are talented, this covenant will come into effect immediately! But if you are a liar, hehe, you have to pay the price!"

good!readily!Pen and ink serve!
Pushing away the high-quality rice paper presented by the waiter in the shop, Bai Fan held a large wolf hair and went straight to the east wall of the first floor of the restaurant!

If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky.

If the land does not love wine, there should be no Jiuquan in the land.

The world loves wine, and loves wine worthy of heaven.

It has been heard that the sage is better than the sage, and the path is turbid as virtuous.

Since the virtuous saint has drunk, why bother to the gods.

Three cups lead to the road, and one fight is natural.

But the fun in the wine should not be passed on to the awake ones.

This is a masterpiece written by the fairy Li Bai, Bai Fan wrote it heartily, and all the guests in the restaurant also read it in one breath and applauded loudly!

Shopkeeper Cui gave a big gift to Bai Fan: "It turns out that everyone Bai is in front of you, I don't know Taishan, please forgive me if I offend you!
I heard that Master Bai's handwriting in white script is unparalleled in the world, but I didn't expect that your poetry is also unparalleled. With this work, not to mention a thousand gold, even a thousand gold can't buy it!
It is really a great honor for Wangjinglou that you can leave masterpieces of calligraphy in the small shop!
Ladies and gentlemen, please be a witness, Wangjinglou hereby promises that from now on, all the expenses of everyone in Wangjinglou in the future will be borne by Wangjinglou! "

What?It turns out that he is the creator of the white script, Master Bai?

Bai Fan just wanted to enjoy the feeling of attracting the attention of the world, but he heard the shopkeeper calling him Master Bai?When did I have this nickname?
Fortunately, Chang Sun Chong explained it in time, and Bai Fan realized that his brother had not been in Chang'an for a long time, but Chang'an was already full of legends about him!
Accompanied by the shopkeeper himself, Bai Fan swaggered up to the third floor with all his apprentices and nephews.

In fact, as Bai Fan said, this matter is a big profit for Wangjinglou. With this poem in hand, I don’t have to worry that scholars from all over the world will not come here because of its reputation. With the growth of Bai Fan’s reputation in the future, this work will will be more valuable!And it just so happens that this poem is written on the wall, and no one else can buy it if they want to buy it, so the shopkeeper's heart is already full of joy!

There are not many seats on the third floor of the Wangjing Building, only five sets of tables, all of which are placed near the windows. After all, the third floor of the Wangjing Building is located very high, and you can see the entire Chang'an city outside!
But at this time, there was a table on the third floor that was already occupied, and Bai Fan and the others sat around the table like a swarm of bees. One ordered all the good wine and food to be served, and the waiter on the third floor naturally knew what to do.

"Master, you are so powerful. I thought you could only count, but I didn't expect you to know everything! And so powerful?" All the disciples shouted like little stars.

"I'm convinced this time, I made all of you apprentices grimace and reluctance, now? Master can treat you to dinner every day, this treatment is not bad for you!" Bai Fan joked.

A few people chatted and laughed while eating, and the atmosphere was so pleasant for a while!

"This little brother, I admire the masterpiece of the little brother. The masterpiece on the first floor can't be written by anyone who is not a wine lover. I have the best wine here. I don't know if I am lucky enough to invite the little brother to have a drink together?" The guests at the table invited Bai Fan.

Bai Fan looked up, okay!Although this uncle seems to be 40 years old, he gives people the impression that he is just "handsome"!Very handsome, making people feel as handsome as spring breeze!
"If you have good wine, how can you be extraordinary?" Bai Fan responded with a big smile.

He ordered Li Chunfeng to take care of the little ones, and then he got up and changed the table. Li Chunfeng had already seen that the person opposite him was an extraordinary person, but he couldn't see him after giving Bai Fan a lot of winks. He sighed slightly in his heart, uncle, we can't Make trouble every time!
