You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 335 Silently exchanged glances

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two went to three teahouses in succession, but there were no seats left. They were all a little surprised.

The waiter saw the expressions on their faces and said with a smile, "My three brothers, you haven't been to the city for a while, right?"

Shi Xiaoliu listened to his words and asked curiously: "Brother, how do you know that we haven't been to the city for a long time?"

"After the exam, the teahouse would be booked by some scholars to listen to storytelling, or they would hold poetry gatherings in the teahouse."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other and asked, "Are there so many people in every teahouse?"

The waiter pointed to the south and said, "Go to that street and have a look. Go quickly. Maybe there are still empty tables."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two walked south. Shi Xiaoliu said to Xia Yu and Shi Zelan, "If there are still no seats available in this teahouse, why don't we go to the vegetarian restaurant for dinner and then go back?"

"it is good."

Xia Yu and Shi Zelan agreed readily, and the three of them walked south, ready to turn back.

However, the first teahouse they entered happened to have a table in front of the storytelling stage, but the price was slightly higher.

Shi Xiaoliu generously counted the money for the seats. When the waiter brought the tea, they asked casually, "When will the storyteller come today?"

A look of shame flashed across the waiter's face: "The storyteller will be back in an hour."

Shi Zelan looked up at him and asked, "How good is this storyteller?"

After the waiter poured them some tea, he lowered his head and whispered, "He is the apprentice of the storyteller this morning."

Xia Yu laughed and said, "So that's how it is. Old customers wouldn't pay a high price to sit at this table."

Shi Xiaoliu waved his hand at the waiter and said, "Send some delicious snacks.

If we listen carefully, perhaps the apprentice can surpass his teacher."

The waiter left, and a middle-aged man at the next table said to Shi Xiaoliu, "Young man, you have high aspirations. It's a pity that the young man stutters when he tells the story."

Shi Xiaoliu said to Xia Yu without even raising his eyebrows, "We walked so much this morning, it's nice to sit here and rest for a while."

Shi Zelan looked towards the entrance of the teahouse and saw people from the vegetarian restaurant delivering food.

She quickly said to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu, "Look, that's the stone from the vegetarian restaurant, right?"

"Yes, it's a small stone."

Shitou from the vegetarian restaurant came over to deliver the food. Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone call out, "Little Shitou, come here."

He looked up and saw the people at the table below the storytelling stage waving their hands. He walked over and saw Shi Xiaoliu and the other two, and immediately started laughing.

"My three brothers are coming to the city today. Are you free to go to the vegetarian restaurant for dinner in the afternoon? I'll ask my waiter to reserve a table for you."

"Shi Tou, let's talk about the current situation first. Can your vegetarian restaurant still deliver food to the teahouse?"

"Sure, do you want to have food delivered?"

After Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other, Shi Xiaoliu said to Shitou, "Little Shitou, pick up some of the food we usually eat and bring it over.

We will go to your vegetarian restaurant this afternoon and pack some food to take back. We will discuss it in detail after you deliver the food."

Shi Xiaoliu gave Shi Tou a deposit, and the middle-aged man at the next table started shouting, "Boy from the vegetarian restaurant, we want some vegetarian dishes too."

After Xiao Shitou nodded to Shi Xiaoliu and the other two, he gave instructions to the middle-aged man sitting at the table next to him.

"Kid, we want samples of the dishes that table of guests is eating, and also two of the most famous dishes in your restaurant. This is the deposit, send it over quickly." Xiao Shitou took the deposit, nodded to Shi Xiaoliu and the other two before leaving, and quickly walked out of the teahouse.

The middle-aged man looked at Shi Xiaoliu and the other two for a few times and asked curiously, "I rarely see you in the city, and you don't look like scholars, do you?"

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two exchanged glances. Meeting someone so determined to make friends, they could only admit defeat.

Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "We are not city people, and we are not scholars."

The middle-aged man looked at the three of them again, and seeing that Shi Xiaoliu had a smile on his face but an indifferent look in his eyes, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing the conversation.

Shi Xiaoliu told Xia Yu and Shi Zelan: "This guy looks generous, but he is actually petty."

Xia Yu and Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu and smiled. Shi Zelan said directly, "Brother, let's go to the south in a few days."

Xia Yu hurriedly said, "Go north, the south is too hot."

"Okay, let's go north. It's snowing, so it's best to go north. But you two don't want to enjoy the snow."

“Brother, we are adults.

Only Xiao Shisan would covet the snow scenery in the north. We won’t go to the trouble of enjoying the snow.”

"You two have no taste.

OK, let's go north, and when it snows, we can go south."

Shi Tou from the vegetarian restaurant came with his people to deliver the food. Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were still discussing where to go in the next few days.

After hearing this, Shitou said, "My three brothers, go to the north to see the beautiful scenery. Come back and tell me about it. I will follow you and broaden my horizons."

"Okay, if we go, we'll definitely tell you about it when we get back to the vegetarian restaurant."

Shi Xiaoliu casually ordered some dishes for Shen Shi to take away, and specifically told him, "Give us a few more servings of your rice cakes.

The taste of food made in other places is not as authentic as that in your restaurant."

When Shitou left, he said to Shi Xiaoliu and the other two, "Our boss is a friend of the owner of the teahouse. After you finish your meal, Xiaoer will help clean up."

Shi Tou went to the next table and said similar words. When he left, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were already having their meal.

Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions thought the vegetarian dishes were delicious, but the guests at the next table felt that they had no flavor.

But when they looked up at how absorbed Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were in their meal, they thought that the food in the vegetarian restaurant must be delicious.

After Shi Xiaoliu and the other two finished their meal, the waiter came over to clean the table and whispered, "In a little while, Mr. Xiaoshu will come on stage to tell stories.

This child's family is in financial difficulty, but he doesn't stutter. "

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at the waiter's expression. Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Okay, as long as he tells the story with his heart, we won't boo him."

The waiter left with peace of mind, and he turned around to talk to his boss.

The host looked at Shi Xiaoliu and the other two and said, “The three people sitting at that table this time are not the ones who are looking for trouble.

Go and tell Xiao Linzi not to be afraid and to tell the story well. Maybe something good will happen."

"Boss, I think as long as the people in the audience don't yell, Xiao Linzi won't stutter."

"He's still too green. He's said it so many times that he's become thick-skinned and naturally doesn't mind people's screams."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two heard what the boss and the waiter said, and they exchanged glances silently.
