I'm a scumbag

Chapter 47 If you want to eat, you must take the test first

It's no wonder Ning Chen was surprised, the price is really too expensive.

300 two!
For Ning Chen to have a meal at Lanxiang Pavilion, he can settle a table for a maximum of two to thirty taels.

But here, Ning Chen ordered seven or eight ordinary dishes, and the wine was ordinary sake.

In an ordinary restaurant in Fengjing City, this table is at most half a tael of silver.

Seeing that Ning Chen was in a hurry, Xiao Er was not annoyed, and objected to Ning Chen and asked, "Are you new here?"

"It just arrived today."

What's the matter with the newcomer, the newcomer can't be the boss, can he?

Hearing that Ning Chen is a newcomer, Xiao Er patiently explained: "Sir, I don't know. In Yunshan Academy, the prices of all dishes are linked to knowledge."

"And this statement?"

This is the first time Ning Chen has heard of this statement.

But learning is just learning, at least I have entered the ninth rank of Confucianism.

Ning Chen told Xiao Er about his admission to the ninth rank of Confucianism and Taoism.

However, Xiao Er was only slightly polite, and then continued to explain: "Sir, the knowledge I mentioned is not the cultivation of Confucianism or Taoism. It is the real talent.

In Yunshan Academy, talented people can eat and drink for free.

Those without talent, in addition to paying a lot of money, are unable to move an inch. "

The translation is that Yunshan Academy has no shortage of high-quality Confucianism cultivators.

But your entry does not mean that you have culture.

This is the same as in Tsinghua University, there is no shortage of champions.

Just because you are number one, doesn't mean you are awesome.

"Just tell me, how do you plan to test this talent?" Ning Chen didn't bother to listen to Xiaoer, and continued to babble, and simply asked.

Xiao Er pointed to a pair of couplets hanging above the dish and said: "Sir, all the stores in the academy this month will use couplets to evaluate talents. As long as you name a suitable couplet, the meal will be paid accordingly." relief."

"These Confucianists really like these fancy things."

Feeling emotional in his heart, Ning Chen followed his gaze and looked at the Shanglian.

There is no need for soup when the wine is hot.

"What thing?" Ning Chen glanced at it and couldn't help frowning.

Ning Chenxing copied poems.

After all, after reading books for so many years, I have memorized too many famous passages.

But Ning Chen has never dabbled in couplets.

Apart from knowing that the couplets have the same number of words, Ning Chen knows at most that there is a distinction between mediocrity and mediocrity.

As for what is flat and which is flat, Ning Chen doesn't even know.

"Do you have a couplet, sir?" Xiaoer asked Ning Chen.

Ning Chen thought for a while and said simply: "I have money."

Ning Chen thought he had suffered from being uneducated.

You can't go out in a hurry, you still need face.

But Xiao Er obviously didn't have such awareness.

Hearing Ning Chen say this, he changed his face on the spot: "Sir, even if you have money, you still have to give a second line. Even if this second line is not neat, you still need it."

Upon hearing this, Ning Chen said, "What you mean by this is that if I don't give a second line, I won't have anything to eat if I spend money?"

Xiao Er nodded, and said seriously to Ning Chen, "I'm afraid that's the case."

"And it's not just the small shop, the shop in the entire Yunshan Academy, I'm afraid you won't be able to get a bite of food."

"Damn, a bunch of brains."

Hearing Xiao Er's stupid answer, Ning Cheng could only scold them in his heart.

"Sir, if there is no second line, please leave." Xiaoer said to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen really didn't expect that Yunshan Academy would be so extreme.

But Ning Chen specializes in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction.

"It's not that I don't have a second couplet, but I think such a simple upper couplet is an insult to my talent.

I don't want to waste my talents on such vulgar couplets.

Look at the messy things written in this couplet, full of market atmosphere, there is still a little bit of our academy there. "

Ning Chen put on the score directly, looking like a proud scholar.

Hearing what Ning Chen said, Xiao Er unconsciously shrunk down.

Be it his tone or his attitude, he was respectful.

"This Shanglian was published by our boss. When the boss published this Shanglian, he didn't consider the issue of market sentiment. It seems that there is some truth in what the gentleman said."

In Yunshan Academy, the status of scholars is absolutely lofty.

So in Xiao Er's opinion, Ning Chen, a high-grade Confucianism cultivator, shouldn't be without talent in the first place.

Hearing what Ning Chen said now, he felt that it made a lot of sense.

"How about this, I'll make an upper couplet. Ask your boss to make a match. If he is right, I will offer 300 taels of silver. If he doesn't match, he will give me 300 taels." Ning Chen said to Xiaoer Said.

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xiao Er showed embarrassment: "Sir, there has never been such a precedent in our shop."

"Isn't that enough? If he thinks it's too little, I'll give you 3000 taels if he's right. If it's not right, he'll still give me 300 taels."

Looking at the embarrassed Xiaoer, Ning Chen said to him: "Don't be embarrassed, you can directly ask your boss about this matter. See if he agrees or not? Or you can tell him directly, I will allow him to call friends, As long as he can tell me this second couplet, I will give it 3000 taels."

"Wait a minute, sir, I'll go to the boss right away."

After Xiao Er left, Ning Chen began to rummage. In his mind, there were a few eternal absolutes in his mind.

Ning Chen still didn't believe it, relying on the few eternal absolutes he remembered, he still couldn't win the 300 taels.

I can't do the second line, but I can't do the upper line, hehe, you can't.

As for whether the boss here will agree, Ning Chen is not worried at all.

These scholars are most afraid of shock.

Ning Chen despised him so much, he would definitely fight.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiaoer to appear in front of Ning Chen with a menacing boss.

The boss is also dressed as a Confucian scholar. Although he is the boss here, he is full of bookishness.

This is the real bookish spirit, not the hypocrisy of Bai Renyuan.

This boss really didn't take making money seriously, he just wanted to use his restaurant to get acquainted with truly talented people in the academy.

In fact, most of the restaurants in Yunshan Academy serve this purpose.

Making money is not what they are after. It is their purpose to meet and be with truly talented people.

But being underestimated is absolutely not okay.

"Student, Li Ziqiu, do you dare to ask your Excellency Gao's name?" Li Ziqiu asked Ning Chen by the way after reporting himself.

"I'll tell you my name when you can solve my Shanglian." Ning Chen continued to stimulate Li Ziqiu.

Li Ziqiu, who was aroused to fight, said on the spot: "Okay. When I tell you the second line, you don't deserve to let me know your name."

Ning Chen smiled slightly: "No problem. But did you tell you when you came to your house? If it doesn't work, you have to give me 300 taels?"

Li Ziqiu said: "I've said it. But instead of giving you 300 taels, I'm sorry, I'll give you 3000 taels as well."
