Huang Rong could tell that Su Xin's clothes were made of good material. A cunning look flashed across her eyes as she said sadly,"Brother Su, I haven't eaten for a few days. I don't know..."
She knew that this scholar was a lone star, wandering from place to place. It must not be easy to earn this money, so she was prepared to test this scholar's character.
Humans died for wealth, birds died for food!
Who in the world did not love money?
Su Xin instantly understood.
Huang Rong's family had a lot of knowledge. She was eccentric and smart. She was easy to deceive and difficult to deceive. He must not be careless and underestimate Huang Rong.
Speaking of which, Huang Rong's reason for pretending to be a beggar was very reasonable.
"Pa!"
Su Xin thought to himself, but his face revealed an unhappy expression. He slammed his palm heavily on the table, giving Huang Rong and the waiter beside him a fright. They looked at Su Xin in surprise, not understanding why Su Xin was so angry.
Huang Rong was dumbfounded. She thought to herself, Could it be that this scholar was lying to her and was stingy with her money?
"Brother Huang, you and I hit it off the first time we met. Not only did you not distance yourself from me, but you were also willing to listen to my story. Why are you so hesitant?”
"It's easy to get a thousand gold coins, but it's hard to get a close friend!"
"Money is just a worldly possession. You can't bring it with you when you're alive or take it with you when you're dead.”
Su Xin's face was full of righteousness, as if Huang Rong was looking down on him. His eyes were filled with anger and disappointment.
"No…"
Huang Rong quickly shook her head. She felt even more ashamed. She had actually judged a gentleman with her petty heart.
Su Xin knew that he couldn't be submissive in front of Huang Rong. He could be overbearing when he should be overbearing and angry when he should be angry. His expression softened and he said,"Waiter, bring Brother Huang a table of dishes that he likes.”
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"
The waiter took two steps forward to the table and looked at Huang Rong attentively.
He didn't hear the conversation between the two of them just now. He didn't understand how two people who had met by chance could be like old friends at first sight. Moreover, what did this young master say to actually make this little beggar cry?
There were many disciples in Beggar's Sect, and Qiao Feng had appeared in this generation. He was chivalrous, righteous, and respected by the pugilistic world. He admired him very much.
Therefore, he did not dare to neglect Huang Rong.
Huang Rong took a deep breath and calmed the guilt in her heart. She had wanted to order a few more dishes to test this scholar's character, but at this moment, she had already lost interest.
When she left Peach Blossom Island, she was afraid that Huang Yaoshi would catch up with her, so she wanted to come to Guyang City as soon as possible to watch the show. She had been living in the open and had not eaten for several days.
"Fried Gold Thread, Fried Silver Thread, Fried Meatballs.”
Huang Rong had profound martial arts skills. Her gaze pierced through the bag and saw that there were only four taels of gold left in the scholar's bag. He was a poor man. In addition, Su Xin was to her liking, so she only ordered three simple dishes.
Su Xin was confused. He didn't know what ingredients Huang Rong had ordered for the first two dishes.
He wanted to gain Huang Rong's favorability, so how could he let Huang Rong save money?
In an instant, Su Xin's face showed displeasure again. He pulled the waiter and looked at Huang Rong coldly.
"Brother Huang, are you looking down on me?"
Hearing this, Huang Rong was stunned again. She paused for a moment and asked tentatively,"Brother Su, what's wrong?"
She was innocent!
She had ordered three dishes. Did she order too much or too little?
Su Xin looked at Huang Rong coldly until she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. Then he said sincerely,"Brother Huang, you and I hit it off at first sight. Why save money for me at such a joyous moment?
Life is full of joy, do not let the golden cup empty face the moon!
I'm born with talent, and I'll come back when I'm gone!”
In this era, before Li Bai was born, Su Xin shamelessly plagiarized again.
As soon as this poem came out, the waiter was instantly dumbfounded. He racked his brain and didn't think that there was a great scholar in the Ming Dynasty who could match this forthright scholar in front of him.
He was a disciple of the Money Gang, so he naturally despised most scholars. However, he had great respect for a scholar like Su Xin who had real talent and knowledge.
Huang Rong pondered in her heart and understood the pride in Su Xin's poem. This was Su Xin saying that she did not have the pride and magnanimity that a man should have.
But she was a woman!
Moreover, she wanted to save money for this scholar. Was she wrong?
He thought.
Huang Rong was even more touched. She didn't expect to meet a righteous and chivalrous confidant on her first trip out and meeting friends.
"Brother Su, I was wrong."
Huang Rong admitted her mistake sincerely and poured herself a cup of tea as punishment.
Su Xin took advantage of the situation and put away his anger. He looked at the waiter, and the culinary skills that he had just gotten a glimpse of came into effect. He also remembered the original story of Huang Rong reporting the name of the dish when she met Guo Jing. He couldn't help but come up with a plan and said straightforwardly,
"Waiter, bring Brother Huang four dried fruits, four fresh fruits, two salty and sour fruits, four candied fruits, and eight dishes that go with wine.”
"The four dried fruits are lychee, longan, steamed dates, and ginkgo.”
"Of the four fresh fruits, you pick the freshest."
"The two salty and sour dishes are made of fragrant cherries and shredded ginger.”
"The eight dishes that go with the wine are: fried quail, stir-fried duck webs, chicken tongue soup, deer stomach brewed Jiang Yao, mandarin duck fried beef tendon, chrysanthemum rabbit shreds, fried roe legs, ginger vinegar gold and silver hoof.”
Su Xin recited the names of the dishes in his memory.
Although there were people from the Flower Transferring Palace watching him in the inn, Huang Rong was disguised as a man. He felt like he had hit it off with a man at first sight, so he did not need to worry about Lian Xing coming to kill him.
Secondly, he wanted to gain Huang Rong's favorable impression. It would be best if he could obtain the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island tonight.
Then, he would leave Guyang City the next day.
"Brother Huang, is that enough?"
Su Xin's eyes were filled with sincerity as he looked at Huang Rong.
Huang Rong was in a daze. For some reason, she felt that this scholar's order was very consistent with her ordering habits.
"Could this be telepathy?"
Huang Rong was sure that this was the first time they had met. It was also her first time traveling in the martial world. She was a little flustered and shook her head gently."No way, no way…"
A blush appeared on her face, but because of the mask, no one could see it.
Su Xin asked again.
Huang Rong finally came back to her senses and nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice. She was inexplicably happy and said,"Enough, enough."
Old wine was getting more and more expensive.
Su Xin estimated that he would be able to spend the rest of the money with another jar of good wine. He said,"Give me another jar of good Nu 'er Hong.”
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Just now, the waiter had also seen the money in Su Xin's bag.
He knew that there were only four taels of gold left in Su Xin's bag. The ingredients for this meal were precious, and the wine was even more precious. The price was around four taels of gold, and it had almost used up all of the scholar's money.
He couldn't help but admire this scholar.
"Perhaps, this is the real scholar.”
The waiter thought to himself and quickly walked to the kitchen to report the dishes.
