BXBX NOVEL Chapter 89 How Can There be No Martial Arts Competition
The middle aged man walking in front was dressed in a scholarly attire, looking about the same as Huo Sirui. The other middle-aged man was older, dressed in a gray scholar's robe and black tousled hair. He was thin, gentle, and his eyes shone with wisdom.
Huo Sirui said to the man who looked like Maitreya Buddha, "Father, this is Boss Qin, one of the bosses of the Shuangzhuan Restaurant. Boss Qin, this is my father.
President Huo was completely different from what Qin Mian had imagined. He did not conceal the astonishment in his eyes, but he quickly adjusted his expression, and went up to pay his respects.
For Huo Yongcheng to become the Principal of a school, he must have a good name, but Huo Sirui did not introduce him. This was mostly Huo Yongcheng's idea, he did not want to use his name to pressure others.
President Huo saw the astonishment in Qin Mian's eyes and smiled humbly, not minding it at all, "Boss Qin, no need to be so courteous. For your restaurant to host such a talent competition is also beneficial to the students. "This old man can only do a little bit of work."
Huo Sirui then introduced another person, "This is our Academy's Teacher Liu, his name is Honorable."
"Greetings, Teacher Liu." Qin Mian cupped his hands and said.
Teacher Liu said, "This old man came uninvited. Boss Qin should not be offended."
Qin Mian hurriedly said: "I don't dare. The President Huo and Teacher Liu have arrived, and our restaurant's humble presence brings light to our humble dwelling. The two of you, please come in! "
He personally accompanied President Huo and Teacher Liu to the guest pavilion.
Upon entering the first floor lobby, President Huo and Teacher Liu saw that the hall was almost full. Some of the students crowded around the wall, praising and commenting on something. The two curiously approached and their eyes fell on the poem on the wall. They couldn't help but take a close look.
"Spring." The jasper was made into a tall tree, with tens of thousands of streaks of green silk hanging down. I don't know who cut out the leaves, but the spring wind in February is like a pair of scissors. "Good poem!" When Teacher Liu finished, he praised with some emotion.
President Huo did not expect to see such a line in the restaurant, he nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with shock.
The two of them did not have time to communicate and looked at the other three poems.
"Xia." The trees were dark and long in summer, and the terrace was reflected in the pond. The crystal curtain fluttered in the breeze, filling the room with the scent of roses. "
"Autumn." The clear stream flows over the green hills, the empty water is clear and a color of autumn. Separated from the world of mortals by thirty miles, with white clouds and red leaves fluttering in the wind. "
"Winter." Thousand Mountains and Birds Fly Extinct, Ten Thousand Paths Man Extinguished. "Solitary Boat, bamboo hat on his head, fishing alone for the Frigid River Snow."
After reading, Huo Sirui could not help but ask: "Boss Qin, may I ask who these four poems came from? There is no end to these four poems. Those who are able to compose these poems must be peerlessly talented! "
These few words were also what President Huo and Teacher Liu wanted to say, but Huo Sirui had already snatched it away. The two of them looked at Qin Mian with shimmering eyes.
Qin Mian laughed, "It was something that I accidentally heard from someone outside. I remembered it since I thought it was not bad."
"Oh?"
President Huo and the other two were clearly disappointed with the answer, but they could do nothing about it.
"President Huo, Teacher Liu, Young Master Huo, this way please." Qin Mian led them to a square table where four people were seated and sat them down.
Very soon, a waiter brought the best tea, a plate of cherry paste snacks, and a glass bottle of cherry juice. Through the translucent glass, the cherry juice was even more alluring, and the four glass cups matched with the glass bottle also appeared. There was also a bamboo basket containing fresh cherries.
"Please enjoy." The waiter bowed and left respectfully.
Huo Sirui accompanied President Huo and Teacher Liu to sit for a while. After eating some snacks and fruits, he sat with his classmates.
As soon as the time for the competition arrived, the guests in the restaurant quietened down. The reason they were here today was, on the one hand, to eat. On the other hand, to watch the talent competition.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia stood by the side of President Huo. Qin Mian cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, I am Qin Mian, and this is Lei Tia. We are the owners of the Shuangzhuan Restaurant, and welcome to Shuangzhuan Restaurant. I hope everyone can eat and live happily. The talent competition will begin soon. Before that, let me introduce the two esteemed guests, President Huo and Teacher Liu of the Clear Cloud Academy. "
The President Huo and Teacher Liu cupped their hands and bowed to the crowd.
Qin Mian continued: "The two of you are the judges of this competition, so all of you participants do not need to worry about any injustice in the competition."
Everyone nodded. Basically all the people from the Zhaoyang County knew that President Huo was not only the Principal of the Clear Cloud Academy, he was also a great scholar who had been filial for twenty years.
Qin Mian nodded towards Manager Sun.
Manager Sun walked to the center of the hall, a smile on his face, and said loudly: "I am Shuangzhuan Restaurant Manager Sun Mao Sheng, many thanks to everyone for your support. "The talent competition will now officially begin ??"
"Wait!" A tall and muscular scholar suddenly stood up. Looking at the white student robes he wore, he was also a student of the academy.
The hall suddenly went silent. Everyone's eyes were on him.
Qin Mian noticed that there was no red flower in the man's hand or body, and his eyes sunk a little. Could it be that someone was trying to challenge him before the match even began?
Lei Tia pressed down on his shoulder, a calm expression in his eyes allowing him to quickly calm down. That's right, even if this person wanted to cause trouble, what was there to be afraid of, Tia?
The President Huo asked Huo Sirui in a low voice, "Is he still a student of our academy? Do you know him? "
Huo Sirui nodded with a strange expression on his face, "I do. He ?? He's probably the one student our academy can eat the most. " Even now, he could still remember the time when he went to the dining hall to eat and saw five empty bowls stacked on the table in front of Bao Xu.
"Oh? "Hehe." President Huo stroked his beard and laughed strangely.
Lei Xiangzhi recognized the scholar and immediately walked over and said gently: "Junior brother Bao, if you have any questions, you might as well wait until after the competition."
"No," Bao Xu said anxiously, "After the competition, it will be too late. What I want to say is, the Shuangzhuan Restaurant competition is all a written competition, so why isn't there a martial competition? I have talent too, and I know kung fu! "
So this was what happened. Qin Mian said in a clear voice: "For this matter, it was indeed our negligence."
His calmness aroused the goodwill of the guests present.
Bao Xu's face was slightly chubby, looking very honest when he smiled. With a 'hehe', he happily asked, "Then, can I participate in the competition now?"
Qin Mian raised his hand to signal for him to be patient, and asked loudly: "I wonder if there are any other students who would like to participate in the martial arts competition?"
Two more scholars stood up.
Bu Qingyun was overjoyed, and said to Qu Zongwen: "This is good. Even if they don't have any skills, they will still be ranked first, second, or third. "
Wang Shangwen was speechless, "Be quiet."
Qin Mianxin said, and then it became easier, laughing as he said, "Because the number of people participating in the competition is too small, after the competition is over, the three of you can compete with me, and only if all three of you defeat me, can you continue to compete, and obtain the first, second, and third rank. If you lose, you won't have the qualifications to participate in the ranking. What do you think? "
"Huh?" Qu Zongwen asked Lei Xiangzhi in shock, "Your sister-in-law knows kung fu?"
Lei Xiangzhi was also very surprised, "I'm not sure, it should have been taught by my big brother."
The guests were excited, they did not expect to see such an exciting battle after a meal. The Grand Xia Empire had always valued the martial arts, and not many knew martial arts.
Bao Xu answered without any hesitation, and said naively, "Boss Qin, look at your little body ??" The cherry sauce here is very tasty ?? I won't be merciful. "
The corner of Qin Mian's mouth twitched, but he did not change his expression, with a smile on his lips. With an unfathomable expert's attitude, he slowly said: "Wait till you win this one."
This expression really shocked Bao Xu. His expression became solemn as he clenched his fists.
The other two scholars, Li Shan and Zhou Hai, also responded.
The Manager Sun then continued with his previous words, "The first thing to be competed in is a recital of poetry, with the theme of 'eat' or various kinds of food. You can eat any ingredients, dishes, wine or fruits. Pen, ink, and paper have already been prepared. Students, please write down your poems. "An incense stick's worth of time."
The President Huo looked at Qin Mian and Lei Tia thoughtfully. These two bosses had truly spared no effort in publicizing the restaurant.
Lei Xiangzhi muttered to himself as he started writing.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia stood at an inconspicuous corner, sizing up everyone in the hall without leaving a trace. Unsurprisingly, they saw a few familiar faces ?? ?? They were people who had bought the seasoning formulas, and their purpose for coming here today was obvious.
"Wifey, you want to compete with them?" Lei Tia asked.
Qin Mian laughed, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that you want to compete with them? If you want to defeat them, isn't that as easy as flipping your palm? "
Lei Tia was expressionless, but a smile surfaced in his eyes.
Qin Mian could see everything clearly and endured his laughter. This guy also likes to hear nice words?
Lei Tia said softly, "I only like to hear good things from you."
Qin Mian's eyes were filled with laughter, and he continued to carry on with his business, "Anyway, there are only three of them, even if they are ranked one or two or three, it would only be a matter of a few dozens of silver. It's just for fun. "
"I'll listen to you." Lei Tia said.
Nie Heng, Qu Zongwen, Huo Sirui and the rest all looked at the two people who were chewing on their ears, showing that they had an extremely good relationship with each other.
"Nie Heng booked a VIP room, and the young man who followed him, as well as the attendant, booked a luxurious suite and an ordinary room respectively." Lei Tia said.
Qin Mian said without care: "Not surprising. Shuangzhuan Restaurant were nothing shameful, let them see. The uniqueness of our restaurant lies in our soul, not these external forms. "
His wife's proud look was so dazzling. Lei Tia quietly held his hand.
