Chapter 11 Five fine wines per cask

When they walked into the restaurant, although there was a Hu Ji performing dance music in the venue and the dance music was quite exciting, many people still looked at them, including those sitting in the lobby and in the private room, and there were people who immediately commented on it.

Chen Yi is tall and handsome, Ning Qing is handsome, and the two are very eye-catching when they walk together. They have already experienced it when they are wandering on the street and the West City. The attention-catching courtesy made Chen Yi's self-confidence highly expand. He completely accepted the attention of others and felt a little enjoyable. When he entered the semi-enclosed space of the restaurant and then accepted the attention of others, there was nothing unusual.

But Chen Yi was wrong. Many people in the restaurant paid attention to him and Ning Qing, not because they were handsome, but because of another reason.

There are many people who come to Hu Ji’s restaurant to watch Hu Ji’s dance music, but very few people come to watch it. Many people come to visit Hu Ji for a special purpose, just like they go to Pingkangfang to entertain. They want to take advantage of Hu Ji or try the style of exotic women, so they will not bring women. Even if there are women, they are like those noble women with great identities who come to watch the fun and satisfy their curiosity. They are also wearing men’s clothing and try not to let people know that they are the identity of a woman. Chen Yi, who brought Ning Qing, in, did not know this.

Faced with so many people's gaze, the thin-skinned Ning Qing couldn't help but turn red. Chen Yi was nothing unusual. He followed the lead of the way and sat down by the window, and immediately greeted the waiter who was following him.

"What do you need, two guests?" The waiter nodded and bowed to the ground to salute, asking Chen Yi and Ning Qing what they wanted with a smile.

Chen Yi has an extraordinary demeanor and dresses well. At first glance, he is not an ordinary family. Ning Qing is handsome, but when you look closely, you can tell that the fabric on her body is not very good. The scene is like a noble young man's close-up maid. It is not too strange for such a combination to come to the store. Is it normal for the noble young man to bring a maid to see Hu Ji's performance? But most people just let the young maid wear men's clothes. In addition, the door-to-door visitors are guests, so the waiter's expression is not strange!

Chen Yi looked at Ning Qing and asked her with his eyes, but the little girl didn't seem to have much experience in ordering dishes. She blushed her face and shook her head, asking Chen Yi to decide for herself. Seeing this, Chen Yi didn't say anything, and turned around and told the waiter: "Pick up a few signature side dishes in your store, add two kilograms of mutton, a plate of chicken, a portion of duck liver, a pot of spring bamboo shoots, and a pot of good grape wine. Let's do these first, what will you add later before calling you!"

The first time I took a girl to a restaurant, I couldn’t lose my demeanor and be treated as a countryman! There were advertisements written in the restaurant with our signature dishes. When Chen Yi walked upstairs, he happened to hear several guests sitting next to him saying this when he ordered the waiter. He also followed the same tricks and learned how others called dishes. Those who were not familiar with the place could only “follow the local customs”, even if they ordered the dishes!

"Okay, this young man and this little lady please wait and I'll deliver it to you soon!" The waiter said, immediately raised his head and sang, "Two pounds of mutton, a plate of chicken, a portion of duck liver, a pot of spring bamboo shoots, a pot of good grape brew... It's coming soon!"

At this time, Hu Ji's spiral dance had just ended, and the music stopped. Although the voices of the guests in the venue were a little noisy, the waiter's singing still seemed very high! There were waiter singing beside the other guests, with the tone and content similar to the content!

"Ziying, we can't finish what you order so many dishes!" Ning Qing can be regarded as a Taoist. When he was in Zongsheng Palace, he was always vegetarian and rarely ate meat. Sun Simiao was very frugal and rarely wasted time. The master and disciple ate together, and there were very few dishes. At first glance, Chen Yi came to the restaurant to order so many dishes, and he couldn't help but want to stop him.

"It's okay, let's try the flavor of this restaurant. You can serve a famous dish!" Chen Yi smiled and shook his head to show that it was okay, "What's more, we have been shopping for most of the day and are hungry. We have to replenish our energy well and we have to go shopping later!"

In fact, he wanted to say that he was going to enjoy Hu Ji's dance music in this restaurant, and he had to stay for a long time, so naturally the food and drinks should not be missing, and it would taste good when eating and drinking. But this idea could not be expressed, otherwise the little girl would have to understand it as another meaning and despise her!

"Okay!" Seeing that many people's eyes were on them from time to time, Ning Qing didn't dare to speak loudly, and he didn't dare to argue with Chen Yi anymore. He had to agree and no longer say anything, but drank the tea delivered by the store in a small sip.

Soon, a waiter and a little older, not very good-looking and bloated alien woman brought the wine and food, and arranged the wine and food quickly. After saying "Cheers are slow to use", she bowed and left.

The atmosphere in the store and the waiter's tactfulness made Chen Yi feel pretty good. He smiled and picked up the wine pot, poured wine for himself and Ning Qing, but his eyes glanced at several Hu girls who were doing the preparation work from time to time. He gave them a score in his heart. Although they were all Hu girls, the Hu girls who delivered the meal gave people a different feeling from the Hu girls who performed the dance. Just now, the Hu girls who delivered the meal made Chen Yi think of the Russian aunts in later generations. The Russian aunts looked good when they were young, but when they were older, they turned into bucket waists and their faces were distorted, which made people feel disgusted. It seems that Hu girls who played dance in the restaurant also ate youthful meals. When they were older, their figures were no longer slim. They could only serve as roles like waiter serving dishes and food. The two Hu girls who performed dance and delivered the meal clearly wrote all this in reality!

The dance music in Hu Ji’s wine shop was destined not to stop for too long. The venue was quiet for a while, and drum music immediately sounded again.

As the sound of strings and drums sounded, an alien woman with a very slim figure and large nude skin came to the scene, but she was not the one who danced just now, and her appearance and figure seemed to be better. After saluting the guests around her, the woman began to dance on the beat.

Seeing Hu Ji spinning quickly in the field, Chen Yi immediately thought of a noun "Hu Xuanwu"!

Chen Yi knew that there was a famous dance music in historical records called Hu Xuanwu. The legendary An Lushan, who made the Tang Dynasty decline, was a master of Hu Xuanwu. His "skill" made him love Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, who loved music. The original crimes he committed were eliminated and valued. He also served as a military governor in many places, and was respectful, which eventually brought disaster to the Tang Dynasty.

Just as Chen Yi was drinking grapes, eating vegetables, and watching the music in the field, the music suddenly became louder, and the dance-playing Hu Ji accelerated. Her toes stood high and tiptoed, spinning rapidly between the field, and many things on her body rotated. As the drums became more intense and higher, her dancing became faster. Finally, she saw the clothes fluttering in the field, making it difficult to see the figure inside. During the rapid rotation, the pleasant tinnitus sounds made by the bells on Hu Ji’s body, as well as the skirts flying in the air, added a bit of excitement to the music and dance.

This wonderful dance music attracted a lot of applause, and Chen Yi and Ning Qing, who were stunned, couldn't help but applaud! Chen Yi, who had watched a lot of exotic dances in later generations, was also amazed at Hu Ji's difficult Hu Xuanwu. He just turned with Hu Ji's body, and his eyes were a little dazed!

I don’t know how long Hu Ji’s whirls quickly, and the drums gradually slowed down, and Hu Ji’s rotation also slowed down. After a few sudden drum music, he finally stopped. The Hu Ji, who was panting quickly, walked past her body, opened her hands and bent her head, and greeted the spectators around her. The audience burst into a shocking cheer.

When the Hu girl who had left the curtain call came to her, Chen Yi saw clearly what this person looked like.

This beard is indeed young and beautiful, at most fifteen or sixteen years old. Her long brown, slightly curly hair is tied with only a streamer. She is very casual, with much fair skin than the Central Plains people. Her big light blue eyes exudes an attractive exotic style. The beard is sweating because of her anxious dance, and her clothes are all touched. The tight clothes completely reveal her figure, which is more eye-catching. For ordinary men, although the appearance of a woman is an important factor that attracts them, the beautiful scenery under the dress is what they want to see the most.

Chen Yi was of course no exception. His eyes fell naturally on Hu Ji's towering chest, subconsciously estimating whether the size of the place was B, C, or D. But he was afraid that Ning Qing on the side would be seen, and he looked a little guilty, so he dared to take a few glances briefly.

Ning Qing saw Chen Yi's dishonest eyes, hummed twice with his nose, glared at him angrily, and put down his wine glass that he had been holding because he was stunned by Wu Le.

"Qing'er, the music of Hu Ji's dance just now was so exciting. She was stunned. She even forgot to eat the wine and food. Come on, I'll toast you a glass!" Chen Yi raised the glass with a smile, "I guess there will be a more exciting performance later, let's watch it slowly!"

"Hmph, who doesn't know what you are looking at!" Ning Qing muttered at Chen Yi with a blank look, raised his glass reluctantly, touched it, and drank it all in one mouthful!

Seeing Ning Qing like this, Chen Yi certainly understood why the little girl had become like this. He immediately approached her and prepared to say a few jokes to make her happy. At this time, the Hu Ji had already walked to an invisible place after she thanked her.

But before he could say it, he heard movements on the court. Looking around, he saw a middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes walking to the venue. The beard who had just danced and music followed behind, holding something in his hand, like a gold utensil containing wine.

The middle-aged man with a good temperament greeted the scene and said loudly: "Dear young masters, here is Xu Zhu, the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou. Thank you for your patronage! Zuixianlou is the most famous restaurant in Chang'an City. Many guests come to enjoy wine and dance every day! Zuixianlou has its reputation today and is inseparable from the support of all the young masters. Our store has recently entered a batch of old grape wines from the Western Regions. The price of such wine on the market is at least five cents per cup, and there is no market price..."

This made a buzzing sound in the audience. The price was so surprising. Five pennies are not a small amount!
