The prize segment of the Longevity Restaurant had ended, and the grand prize of ten taels of gold had been snatched away.
Therefore, the people who were watching the commotion outside either dispersed or entered the restaurant.
Of course, because of the '50% discount for the first three days of opening' sign at the entrance, there were quite a lot of people entering the restaurant.
At this moment, only Du He, Second Emperor Li, and a few others were left in front of the restaurant.
Oh no, right in front of him stood an old man with a long face. His sour expression was revealed.
Du He took a closer look and recognized the identity of the person.
Wasn't this old man the shopkeeper of the Pearl Restaurant, Wang Mian?
Du He blinked and suddenly cupped her hands at the stern-faced Wang Mian. She smiled and said,
"Yo, isn't this Shopkeeper Wang from the Pearl Restaurant opposite? Are you also here to support our Longevity Restaurant?
This Young Master is really honored today. Shopkeeper Wang, what are you still standing there for? Come in and sit.
I'll also comment on the grade of our Longevity Restaurant and see if it's a little better than your Ming Zhu!”
He looked at the kid's bright smile and then at the many customers who had been snatched away.
Wang Mian's expression turned even uglier.
He snorted coldly and said,"Even if I don't go inside, I know that your restaurant is not good."
Longevity Restaurant, hmph! Just by looking at the name, it was extremely tacky and unbearably tacky!”
Second Emperor Li and the others, who were just about to walk into the restaurant, stopped in their tracks when they saw this.
In particular, Second Emperor Li looked at Du He with interest.
He just wanted to know how Du He would deal with this situation.
After all, Shopkeeper Wang was the first to criticize the name of the Longevity Restaurant.
Wang Mian, who had just said this, was also a little proud at this moment.
He thought to himself, This old man won't even go in to comment on your food and wine. Today, I'll have my eyes on the name of your restaurant.
What can you do to me?
It was a pity that the boy in front of him did not show an exasperated expression.
Du He suddenly laughed and said in a shocked voice,"Shopkeeper Wang, your words are so unreasonable!
If you're uncultured, don't say such ridiculous things.
Tell me, what's wrong with my name? Is that a little too vulgar?"
"Hmph, what do you think your restaurant is? A spirit pill? He actually dared to call himself Changsheng?
Could it be that after eating your wine and dishes, the guests will become immortal? What a joke!"
Seeing the kid's questioning, Wang Mian was certain that the kid could not find a reason to refute.
At this moment, he increased his firepower and shouted at the name of the Longevity Restaurant.
Du He smiled again. He shook his head and said,
"It seems that the vulgar person is Shopkeeper Wang. The name of this restaurant is taken from a poem.
Could it be that Shopkeeper Wang thought poetry was something unbearably vulgar? This young master heard something strange today.”
When he said this, not only Wang Mian, but even Li Shimin and the others were stunned.
Everyone racked their brains, searching for the poems they knew in their memories.
He wanted to see which poem the word 'longevity' came from.
However, after thinking for a long time, no one could figure out the origin of the word 'longevity.'
"Xuan Ling, have you thought of the origin of this poem?”
Knowing that he was powerless, Second Emperor Li looked at the wealthy merchant Fang Xuanling on the left again.
Fang Xuanling frowned for a long time before shaking his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Before Second Emperor Li could ask Zhangsun Wuji who was on the right, he had already shook his head.
"Looks like this brat is tricking the other party!”
Second Emperor Li smiled slightly and assumed the posture of watching a good show.
On the other side, Wang Mian laughed out loud and said,"Brat, do you think I don't know poetry?
The name of your restaurant is not from some famous poem.
There's no way you can trick me!"
"That's why I said you're ignorant!"
Du He shook her head and did not give the other party a chance to refute. She directly opened her mouth and recited,
"White Jade City in the sky, twelve floors and five cities, the immortal caresses my head, and my hair is tied to receive eternal life!
This Young Master's Longevity Restaurant is exactly the last line of this poem,'I will receive longevity when I tie my hair.'
Shopkeeper Wang, this Young Master will teach you a lesson today. If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense. Otherwise, you will be laughed at!”
Actually, when he said those four lines, everyone present fell silent.
"'The Immortal caresses my head, and I receive eternal life.'Good poem, good poem!”
Second Emperor Li was the first to praise him, and he looked at Du He with a surprised expression.
He was certain that these four lines had never appeared before.
Then the only possibility was that the little rascal did it on the spot.
Just now, Shopkeeper Wang criticized the name of the Longevity Restaurant, and now Du He recited these four lines of poetry.
In the middle of it all, only a few breaths of time had passed.
This little rascal had actually composed such an excellent poem in such a short period of time.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a genius.
Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji were also shocked.
Both of them were extremely intelligent and knowledgeable.
However, he knew that it would be extremely difficult to write such a poem in such a short period of time.
And Wang Mian, who had been directly rebuked by Du He, already had a defeated expression at this time.
Even if he knew that these four lines were not from the famous poems of the past, after today, that might not be the case.
Therefore, his previous criticism of the other party's restaurant name was instantly destroyed.
"Hmph, you're so young and sharp-tongued, but so what?" he said angrily.
If a restaurant wanted to be popular, it would have to rely on its true ability! Otherwise, it's useless to say anything!"
"I'll return this sentence to Shopkeeper Wang!”
Du He nodded, indicating that he agreed with the other party's words. He continued,
"However, we all meet frequently. This Young Master is also a magnanimous person.
In the future, if the Pearl Restaurant can't survive anymore, as long as you come to beg me, I'll still reward you with a mouthful of rice!”
"Then let's wait and see!"
Wang Mian had made a scene today. He was covered in dust. At this moment, he flung his sleeves and turned around to walk into the Pearl Restaurant.
Looking at the other party's back view as he left in a sorry state, Du He smiled until her eyes narrowed.
He thought to himself, Looks like the Wang family is indeed of the same lineage. They give quite a lot of reward points.”
[Current event: Teach Shopkeeper Wang how to be a good person out of kindness]
Key Person: Wang Mian
[Completion Level: Shame out of humiliation]
[Reward: 2000]
Seeing the 2,000 reward points, Du He smacked her lips in satisfaction and raised her head.
Then, he saw six pairs of eyes staring at him.
"This is bad. It seems that I have shown too much light today. I have to keep a low profile in the future. Yes, I have to keep a low profile!”
Du He thought.
