Nandu, Yan Tianxi Dumpling Restaurant.

"Boss, as usual, ten kilograms of mutton stuffed dumplings." Teacher Huang said to the waiter who was at the hall very familiarly.

Lin Yi, stunned.

It’s not that ten pounds of mutton dumplings cost about two hundred yuan, but because these ten pounds of dumplings were eaten by Master Huang alone. Lin Yi ordered vegetarian stuffing, half a pound.

Looking at Lin Yi's surprised look, Teacher Huang said, "I have a lot of appetite, there is nothing I can do."

This is the second sentence he and Lin Yi took the initiative to say.

But it is also the truth. When Teacher Huang was in the army, he ate three people alone. That's not all. After retiring from the army, he basically had to eat about ten kilograms of beef and mutton every now and then, just like a hero from the rivers and lakes from the rivers and lakes. This has become a habit. It seems that if you don't eat this kind of thing, you will lose all your strength.

Lin Yi reads books and is knowledgeable and has a good reputation. He knows that some people are born with a large appetite and have a large appetite that has become a sign of manhood.

A piece of information says: Fan Kuai ate a pig's leg in public at the Hongmen Banquet, and even Xiang Yu, who is known as the "Bonal King of Western Chu", had to respect him three points." Such stories of being able to eat and eating are everywhere in the notes and novels of all ages. Sometimes, I can talk nonsense and listen to it, and it is not impossible to talk about it. Feng Menglong's "Ancient and Modern Tanjiao" quoted "Extraordinary News of the Court": In his later years, Wang Shu could still eat thirty bowls of various types of meat, two plates of noodles, and three bowls of sake. Zhou Mi "Gui Xin Miscellaneous Knowledge": Song Prime Minister Zhao Wen's uncle is extremely fed and often troubled by no one to accompany him to eat. Once, he finally met a evenly matched opponent, so he held a banquet. From morning to night, the two of them had three bowls of rice wine, pigs,

Five pounds of mutton and fifty bowls of steamed rice paste. At the end of the meal, I suddenly heard the man's stomach "bang". I thought the intestines were bloated, but it turned out that the belt was broken. There is a record in Liang Zhangju's "Return to the Fields" which is even more vivid: Xu Qianxue, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, ate all over the capital and was invincible. On the day of his resignation, his disciples raised funds to invite him to the restaurant to chew it wildly. At the same time, they placed an empty bronze man of similar size behind him. He put as much as he ate, and as a result, the bronze belly was emptied three or four times because of "overload", and Mr. Xu was still eating. Such a dinner party was really "eat forever", never before, and no one came later.

Lin Yi looked at the Huang coach in front of him and wondered if this guy was really so edible like the rich guy written in ancient notes and novels. However, before Lin Yi could figure out how much he eats, he had already understood how much he drinks.

Teacher Huang seemed very rude. Without waiting for Lin Yi, the owner of the company, to pour him wine, he took out a bottle of old wine from the box and skillfully unscrew the lid. Seeing that he had opened the wine, Lin Yi took a disposable plastic cup and handed it over, waiting for Teacher Huang to pour him wine. But Teacher Huang didn't seem to see his cup at all, but whispered directly to the mouth of the bottle, just a few big mouthfuls, and then wiped his mouth and said, "Happy!"

Lin Yi, speechless.

Teacher Huang felt so happy that he saw Lin Yi’s strange face and the plastic cup that stretched over. He blushed and said, “I’m sorry, I haven’t drunk it for too long and I’m a little impatient.”

Lin Yi retracted his hand and made himself full of food and clothing. He opened a bottle of new wine. He didn't want to drink Teacher Huang's mouth, but he didn't pour much, only half a cup, about one or two taels.

Teacher Huang also learned a gentlemanly place here. He took the cup and poured himself a cup. It was just full and it was almost overflowing.

The two of them were drinking quietly. At this time, a man came in from outside the dumpling restaurant. He was an old man in his fifties and sixties. He was wearing a very ordinary dress, white shirt, black pants, and a pair of old cloth shoes under his feet. He was not tall, neither fat nor thin, his temples were gray, and his head was a little bald. What was interesting was that his nose was red, as if he had caught a cold, and he seemed to have drunk too much.

After the old man entered the restaurant, he looked around and found that it was time to eat. Yan Tianxi Dumpling Restaurant is also a century-old restaurant in the south. The business is very good, and basically the hall and private rooms are full of seats.

There were only fewer people on the table in Lin Yi and Huang. The old man was familiar with each other. He walked over and made it to the table without hesitation, and then asked the two with a smile, "Don't you mind if I sit here?" He asked, but he had already started to flip the cup and pour water.

Lin Yi doesn't care. Anyway, this place is big, so it's nothing more than one or two more, let alone coach Huang. At this moment, he only has wine in his eyes, so he doesn't care about anything else.

The old man picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the tea. His mouth was stuttering, which seemed to be tasteless. Also, restaurants like this usually use gardenia to make tea. At first, the gardenia tea was golden in color. After soaking for a long time, it became dull and colorless, not to mention the taste, and it could fade out of the birds.

The old man with red nose seemed to dislike this light and tasteless tea, and his eyes couldn't help but stare at the old wine Lin Yi bought.

Seeing Teacher Huang drinking one cup after another, looking at Lin Yi, just drinking a little bit, and drinking a little bit, the old man slaps his mouth again, and smiled and said, "You drink, this wine is quite fragrant, it looks good." As he said that, he even picked up the bottle next to Lin Yi and looked at it, "Oh, the old wine in Xiedian has been around forever. This kind of wine is rare on the market. I used to drink it..." His eyes shined.

He used to not drink Lin Yi often, but he knew that the old man was greedy, so he invited him affectionately: "Uncle, if you are interested, have a drink..."

"That's a good relationship. I haven't drunk for a long time. I can't help but feel greedy when I see this kind of old wine." The old man was not polite, and directly picked up the disposable cup next to him, gurgled, poured a full glass for himself, then picked it up and put it to his nose and smelled it, "Good wine, it's really good wine. This wine is the same as humans. The older a person is, the more he experiences, the more stories he has, the longer he hides, the more mellow it is, and there is also its own story. There is nothing in this world that is more comfortable than drinking old wine with stories." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.

Lin Yi was stunned. This alcoholism is amazing.

You should know that this disposable plastic cup can almost hold two or three taels of wine, and it is absolutely amazing to drink it in one sip. Teacher Huang needs to be young and strong, and he can be drunk at first glance, but this old man is not good-looking and can drink it so well, that would be amazing.

Although Lin Yi is not good at drinking, he admires those who can drink the most. He thinks that most of the people who can drink are strong men with strong spirits. Of course, except for the drunkards like Liu Sanliang who get drunk every now and then, he cannot pour the wine himself, so he will take the initiative to help him fill it up.

Lin Yi's move made the old man very useful. After all, there are not many young people like Lin Yi who are polite and enthusiastic in the avatar these days.

At this time, the dumplings had not yet come up, and the old man smacked his lips and said, "Why wouldn't it be a waste to have such a good wine or not? Why don't I order a few side dishes?" Then he called the waiter and ordered four side dishes very happily, including beef tendons, schizonepeta mixed with cucumber, five-spice peanut, and cool pineapple eggs.

These cold dishes are basically easy to cook, and some are even ready-made, so they were served one after another in less than a minute or two.

The old man picked up the chopsticks and pointed at a few cold dishes, and enthusiastically asked Lin Yi and coach Huang to say goodbye to him, "Don't be polite, try it."

Teacher Huang was not polite to him at all. He just picked up the beef and chewed it in big mouthfuls. Lin Yi picked up a peanut and chewed it slowly.

The old man drank a little wine, ate a cucumber, and praised: "This is life. You have food and drink. Don't worry about so many things, and don't worry about so much. When you are old, you live a free and easy life." I don't know who he said this to, or even talked to himself.

Teacher Huang was so embarrassed to drink and eat, and the old man was embarrassed to chat with him. He was old and usually liked to talk to people, so he came to Lin Yi, who looked gentle and angry, and asked, "How old are you?"

Seeing that people were so generous when drinking, Lin Yi held the wine glass and was hesitating whether to dry it all in one gulp. Suddenly, the old man asked, and quickly put down the wine glass and said, "It's twenty-three."

"Oh, I'm very young, but you look very steady." The old man crunched a peanut and chatted with Lin Yi with interest.

"what for?"

"I didn't do anything, I had no job." Lin Yi blushed a little. After all, he was so old that he felt embarrassed to have no job.

The old man nodded and comforted him: "It is difficult to find a job now, and many young people like you don't have a job. But don't be impatient, take your time, you can find a good job. In addition, at a young age, don't be too ambitious, be down-to-earth..."

The old man taught me earnestly that he would have been impatient when he put it on others. However, Lin Yi was easy-going by nature. Not only did he not feel that the old man was nagging and meddling in other people's business, he felt that he was very kind. After all, not every old man could care about you like this and say these words to you.

Seeing that Lin Yi was serious and not perfunctory, the old man couldn't help but feel satisfied. This young man was very good, at least he could tolerate his long-windedness.

"By the way, young man, what's your name?" The old man remembered that he didn't know the other person's name.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "My name is Lin Yi, Shuangmulin, Flowing Yi."

The old man drank a little wine, "What a good name, the wood is fascinating in the forest, and it flows with the wind. Look at you being gentle and have read a lot of books?"

"No, I have only read a little bit." Lin Yi didn't dare to be proud. After graduating from high school, most of the books he had read were used from the old book stall, or they were reading freely in the bookstore.

The old man smiled, "Don't be humble, let's study ---"

Next, the old man casually told a few allusions. Lin Yi actually said the origin of these allusions in one word and also revealed other meanings of these allusions.

The old man didn't think too much, and casually asked Lin Yi what he thought about some of the views he had in the "Analects of Confucius" during this period.

Recently, the "Analects of Confucius" in Teacher Dan's "Hundred Schools of Life" was popular on TV. The whole nation is in the midst of a craze for Chinese studies. The old man's question is as keeping pace with the times.

Who knew that Lin Yi’s answer was very interesting. He said, “Sorry, I didn’t think much.”

The old man said wonderingly: "Why?"

Lin Yi said awkwardly: "I can't stand it..."

After Lin Yi said this, the old man was stunned. You know, many people now highly praised the Analects of Confucius, and they vaguely showed a new rise in the Chinese studies master. Countless literary youths and Chinese studies young people have sought her to the top, but Lin Yi has a "can't read it."

The old man put down the wine glass he was holding, and looked at Lin Yi with old eyes, and the meaning of asking was very obvious.

Lin Yi explained: "Because I think Teacher Yu's "The Analects of Confucius" is too similar to the spiritual chicken soup, and I am willing to drink the spiritual chicken soup without the accumulation of classical classics. I can't read the original classics."

After Lin Yi said this, he didn't want to explain too much. He brought the wine glass and drank the little white wine he hadn't finished just now. He thought of the ending of Jin Yong's novel "The White Horse Snorkeling the West Wind" in no time.

The white horse took her back to the Central Plains step by step.

The white horse is old and can only walk slowly, but it will eventually return to the Central Plains.

There are willows, peach blossoms, swallows, and goldfish in the south of the Yangtze River...

Some of the Han people are handsome and brave boys, dashing and elegant boys...

But this beautiful girl was as stubborn as the ancient Gaochang people: "That's all very good, but I don't like it."

Yes, I don’t like what you like. Lin Yi said to himself.

At this time, the steaming dumplings were served, temporarily breaking the wonderful atmosphere.
