I open a restaurant in Xiujie

Qiqiao Festival, also known as Qixi Festival.

It is strange to say that there is no story of "The Injustice of Dou E" in the world of Qixia, but the traditional festival of Qixi Festival is no different from the earth, not to mention the romantic allusion of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting on the magpie bridge, receiving dew, weaving colorful ropes, Xiangqiao meeting, fighting The customs of Qiao and others have also continued. Yu Xiaotan and others didn't care about it before, but now they are reminded, and when they go on the road again, they suddenly find many clues on the side of the road.

There are colored lights hanging high above the shops, thick and long incense sticks for sale on the roadside, men and women wearing colorful ropes and threads on their wrists, and some people tie colored threads into flower decorations and place them by the railings and windows.

This festive atmosphere reached its peak when they arrived in Qinghe Town. When Yu Xiaotan entered the Woxian Pavilion, the shopkeeper was hanging colorful lights on the pillars.

The difference between Xiujie and the earth is still revealed at this moment. What the shopkeeper hangs is not the palace lanterns and ingot lanterns that Yu Xiaotan is familiar with, but beautiful lanterns made of unknown materials. What burns in the lanterns is not candles, but The Quenching Golden Flower that Yu Xiaotan saw at the bazaar of the Newcomer Competition.

That is to say, Woxian Pavilion is rich and powerful, and can afford Quenjinhua, and this flower is really beautiful, a small one, blooming with bright golden light like the morning sun, softly releasing a halo through the gauze, illuminating the entire hall.

The lanterns are not only in the shape of flowers, but also made into magpies, dragons, phoenixes, etc., hanging high on the beams and pillars, and the whole inn is full of dragons and phoenixes, and hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, like a fairyland.

... There is still a sketch of Yu Xiaotan's father hanging on the pillar.

At first glance, it looks like a person wearing golden light, with a dragon and a phoenix on his head, surrounded by hundreds of flowers, standing in awe.

Holding a sauced elbow in his hand.

Yu Xiaotan couldn't laugh or cry, he really didn't expect the picture to become like this, if he knew it, he wouldn't draw elbows.Originally, he wanted to paint his father's favorite food, firstly to prove his identity, secondly to dissuade his vigilance, and thirdly to hint at his manor restaurant - he didn't want to make him look so funny.

Shaking his head, Yu Xiaotan walked to the counter, bent his index finger and tapped on the counter a few times: "Shopkeeper, do you still remember me?"

The shopkeeper was coming down the ladder, wiped the sweat off his face, and looked back: "Hey, aren't you that stingy guy?"

"..." Yu Xiaotan waved his hand, "What kind of stinger, don't talk nonsense, I'm here to give you spirit stones this time. Please help me find someone during this time, this is a thank you gift - after all, is there any progress? ?”

Seeing him putting a handful of spirit stones on the table, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately, but when he met Yu Xiaotan's clear eyes, he flinched inexplicably: "Oh, there's no progress at all."

Yu Xiaotan nodded in disappointment, and said again: "Then... please give us five upper rooms."

He took out five more spirit stones and placed them on the counter.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper glanced at the counter, and even waved his hand: "No, take it away, it's enough for you to give before."

Yu Xiaotan: "???"

The young man opened his eyes in novelty, as if he was meeting the shopkeeper for the first time. The sun is coming out from the west, right? The shopkeeper who is preoccupied will help him save Lingshi?

Maybe it was because Yu Xiaotan's eyes were too bright, the shopkeeper's heart was frightened by him, and he hurriedly said: "It's just enough for this time, next time you come, you have to give me the spirit stone."

Yu Xiaotan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "That's what it should be."

……

The shop waiter led Yu Xiaotan and his party upstairs, and the moment his figure disappeared around the corner, a man dressed as a scholar suddenly rushed in from the door, holding a stack of rice paper tightly in his hands.

Although he came trotting all the way, he didn't see any sweat, and his thin body seemed to contain a lot of explosive power. After rushing into the shop, he was very excited: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, I'll give you the spirit stone, this time I will be able to copy it perfectly. this painting……"

When the shopkeeper saw him, his scalp went numb, and he quickly covered the scholar's mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about, keep your voice down!"

Under his palm, the scholar whimpered and rolled his eyes.

Looking up at the upstairs, the shopkeeper lowered his voice and said with a guilty conscience: "No copying is allowed today, tell your companions, come back another day."

The cultivator has sharp ears and eyes, and his five senses are far beyond ordinary people. The shopkeeper has been in business for so long, and the more monks he contacts, the more he feels that the practice is unfathomable.Opening a shop here, he himself has some connections and cards, but the shopkeeper doesn't want to be discovered by Yu Xiaotan, so he charges copying fees for the portraits he left...

In case Yu Xiaotan took the portrait away, where would he go to earn extra money in the future.

Beside the counter, the scholar who was pinned down by him struggled grumblingly, his mouth seemed to be saying, why don't you let copying, can't he give Lingshi?

Pushing the person away with a palm, the shopkeeper said with a toothache: "I don't even have Lingshi! Today is the Qiqiao Festival, don't you have a girl you like?"

The scholar was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "... there is Yan Ruyu in the book."

Shopkeeper: "..."

Well, a group of idiots who tried to use calligraphy and painting to gain Taoism ended up making themselves stupid.

"You don't have it, others still have it," the shopkeeper said with a straight face, "Hurry up, don't disturb my business, be careful that you won't be allowed to copy it in the future."

The scholar was threatened by him, and his face turned bitter immediately, and he held the shopkeeper's sleeve tightly: "Don't, you don't know how important this painting is to us, this is a brand new painting method, enough to start The Zongli School is famous forever—you still refuse to tell us who the painter is?"

The more the scholar spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice was raised all the way, which made the shopkeeper more and more impatient. At this moment, the waiter in the shop ran down the stairs and shouted on the stairs: "Shopkeeper, what date are those fairy elders arranged?" house?"

It was the waiter who brought Yu Xiaotan and others upstairs, so when he heard the voice of the waiter at this moment, the shopkeeper's whole body trembled.He was afraid that Yu Xiaotan would follow him, so he quickly raised his head and shouted, "No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], whatever you want!"

The shop clerk looked at him confusedly: "Shopkeeper, are you sure..."

"Sure, sure, sure!"

The shopkeeper's cold sweat was about to break down. You must know that he used the portrait left by Yu Xiaotan to make money. This matter is a big deal for Xiao Ke's novel. If Yu Xiaotan thought it was a humiliating use of him and made trouble on the spot, those shopkeepers would not be dead enough. Yes, the contacts in your hands are far away and can't save the near fire.

With a blank look in his eyes, the shop waiter went upstairs instead.

The shopkeeper here also hurriedly drove the chattering scholar out of the door, until he pushed the man out of the door, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Calm down, the shopkeeper suddenly realized, what did he just say?

Room [-], Room [-], Room [-]...

The shopkeeper's face became weird and distorted in an instant, helplessness and pity alternated in his eyes, the first three rooms were special rooms specially created by him for the Qiqiao Festival, and he thought of selling them for a high price to some monk, but now it's good , cheaper Yu Xiaotan...

Still free.

The shopkeeper's heart was bleeding, wondering if there was any way to get those people to change rooms?

……

Climbing to the top floor, Yu Xiaotan was also very surprised.

He originally thought that what is free may not be a good thing, if it is not a room with a good view, he will go down and pay the room fee, and change to a room with a view of the moat.

The waiter at the clinker shop respectfully took them to the first few rooms—the closer the room in the Woxiang Pavilion, the better the view and the wider the room.

Just the decoration of this room...

The lanterns are bright, the curtains dance lightly, and there is a mountain stove in the corner, which is gilded and decorated with clouds and smoke, and a golden dragon that is about to fly in the mist is set on the top, and light incense is overflowing from the hollowed out mountain shape.

Hexiang is used, which has a faint scent of agarwood, jasmine, and honey. It is elegant and has a hint of sweetness. It smells inexplicably invigorating.

There was only one bed, but it was huge, and there were two bamboo pillows on it.

Yu Xiaotan seriously doubts that this is the prototype of a couple's room. No wonder Woxian Pavilion can open its store in Qinghe Town, a transportation hub.

He pulled the clerk over and said he wanted to change a room.

The shop clerk only thought he was being polite, so he smiled wryly and said, "Guest officer, these are our last few rooms..."

Yu Xiaotan's head was full of black lines, thinking, don't think I don't know, that's how your shopkeeper coaxed me last time.

But before he could speak, Ji Chuchen next to him said calmly: "It's okay, we just get together."

Yu Xiaotan: "..."

The young man was a little shy, and just wanted to say that the last time he "squeezed" at the inn was mainly because of lack of money, but now that he has enough money in hand, Ji Chuchen doesn't have to be wronged to share another room with him... But it just so happens At this time, a system notification sounded in Yu Xiaotan's ear.

[Di, the prestige task (1) Little Fame has been completed, reward: points x1000]

[New missions are being released...]

[Cooking mission (2) is full of beautiful things in eyes: the restaurant unlocks 16 kinds of ingredients.Completion time: unlimited. 】

[Task Reward: Points x800]

[Prestige task (2) has a small success: the restaurant has gained 6000 prestige in total.Completion time: unlimited. 】

[Task Reward: Points x1000]

A series of prompts successfully interrupted all of Yu Xiaotan's train of thought, leaving only the bright characters in his eyes, [remaining points: 1600].This line of words is like a ghost covered in golden light, swinging back and forth in front of his eyes, laughing happily: "Come on, let's share the same bed, 1600 points are waiting for you~"

It wasn't until Ji Chuchen called "Xiaotan" several times that Yu Xiaotan came back to his senses.

"Pack your bags, Xiaotan."

Ji Chuchen looked back and smiled, his brows and eyes like black ink, he was not at all displeased with the matter of living together, instead, there was a hint of sweetness and anticipation in his heart.

"I've never seen a folk Qiqiao Festival." The young man smiled and said, "I heard people say on the way here that there are lanterns and incense bridges on the street tonight. It's getting dark now, why don't we go and see it earlier?"

……

The final decision is still to live in the house recommended by the shopkeeper, Yu Xiaotan and Ji Chuchen share one room, Che Yunwen and Qiong Qing share one room, and Bai Junda shares one room alone.

Bai Junda was a little disappointed, why are everyone in pairs, and he is the only one who is alone?

The little fat man touched his round belly, and suddenly wanted to lose weight.

It would be great if Yu Xiaotan made a weight loss meal, it was delicious and could still lose weight after eating it.

The things of the few people are all stored in the storage ring, and there is nothing to pack when they enter the house. Seeing that the twilight outside the window is getting darker, they happily decide to go out to enjoy the lanterns.

The streets are full of people, and the ten-mile-long street is brightly lit, shaped like a star bridge and golden locks, shining like fire trees and silver flowers.A few people walked through the crowd, and the children who were playing ran against the crowd, brushed past them with sugar figurines, and then ran away laughing.

In an open space not far away, there is an incense bridge made of incense.

In the form of three holes, an adult man can bend down and drill through the bridge hole, while smaller children can run directly across the bridge without worrying about collapse.

Beside the Fragrant Bridge, someone played the flute, playing a lingering melody, melodious and melodious, like a young girl narrating a love story with a soft voice.

Many young men and women walked under the bridge holding hands.

Yu Xiaotan has heard of this custom. It is said that every couple who cross the Fragrant Bridge will get the happiness of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and they will grow old together and never be separated.

Unfortunately, there are no lovers among them.

Yu Xiaotan's eyes showed a little bit of regret. This kind of authentic traditional culture is hard to see on the earth. Luo Town is remote, and no one in the Xuansheng Sect cares about the mortal festivals. This is the first time he has seen it. Xiangqiao.

Quite curious.

Staring at the Xiangqiao for a while, Yu Xiaotan's pupils suddenly shrank.

He noticed with sharp eyes that there was a piece of talisman paper stuck on the bridge.

Although the strokes and materials are very rough, far inferior to the talismans used by monks, they can be used to strengthen this incense bridge.

... I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yu Xiaotan vaguely felt that the graffiti-like spiritual pattern on the talisman was somewhat similar to the talisman he pulled out from the system.

It's just that the figures were chaotic, and Yu Xiaotan couldn't help but look closely.

This is good, Yu Xiaotan was so curious that he was scratching like a cat's paw - before the Xiangqiao was burned, he had to get a closer look.

Looking around, only Ji Chuchen can ask for help.

Yu Xiaotan leaned over to Ji Chuchen's side, and said calmly, "Brother Ji..."

do me a favor

Unexpectedly, just after he said three words, Ji Chuchen suddenly took his hand.

The young man's hands were slender and broad, the fingertips were slightly cool, but the palms were as warm as fire.

When he held his left hand tightly, Yu Xiaotan felt in a trance that he was wrapped in a handful of warm spring water. The surrounding lanterns were swaying in the wind, and the colorful light and shadow fell on Ji Chuchen's white clothes. The shallow shadows were like koi swimming around, magpies and birds Flapping his wings, the side face of the other party is also beautiful, covered with a layer of pale golden light from the candlelight, as holy as a golden fairy who descended from the sky.

"Golden Immortal" turned his head and smiled at him.

Then he tightened his hand and walked straight towards the Fragrant Bridge.

Even if the Fragrant Bridge has not been lit, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

The incense is quite poor, and its quality is far inferior to the sandalwood in the upper room of the Woxian Pavilion, but as the light and ordinary fragrance permeates, the figures around are gradually blurred, the end of laughter fades into the sky, the world and the starry sky are pulling away , but something is approaching like never before.

Like falling into the deep sea, like smelling the fragrance of flowers.

Yu Xiaotan's face was hotter than ever before, but fortunately the night covered his red ear tips, he heard his heartbeat speeding up, thump, thump.

The sea is too deep and the flowers are too fragrant.

The author has something to say:

Now enter the no-prize guessing session, can Xiao Tan sleep with Xiao Ji in the couple's room smoothly tonight?

yesorno
