Chapter 385 Goodbye Shi Yunxiang!
As for Tang Yu's other master, it is naturally the last heir of the Shi family - Shi Yunxiang!
During the ten days of preaching and learning, the old man unreservedly passed on the essence of the singing style of the time school to Tang Yu.

His purpose is the same as that of his sworn brother Qin Xiuhuai.

Also, I don't want the excellent skills of my ancestors to be ruined in my own hands.

Therefore, although Tang Yu, who had received the inheritance, did not formally worship the old man as his teacher.

But in Tang Yu's heart, he is the successor of Mr. Shi!

As a disciple, since he was in Yanjing, it was only natural for him to visit this old alcoholic.

"Shi Lao, are you home?"

Stepping into the courtyard, Tang Yu raised his eyes and called out loudly.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of fine footsteps.

The closed door opened with a bang.

Shi Yunxiang's dry and thin old face came into Tang Yu's sight.

"It's your kid?!"

He suddenly saw clearly that the person in front of him was Tang Yushi.

There was clearly a trace of surprise in the eyes of the old drunkard.

But on the surface, the old man still said with a straight face: "What are you doing here?"

"What should be taught, the old man has already taught you in one go. As for how much you can understand, it depends on you!"

"Go, go, don't bother me to drink."

Listening to Shi Yunxiang's ruthless words, Tang Yu smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously.

As expected, this old drunkard still had a sharp mouth and a tofu-hearted stinky temper.

"Shilao, this junior is not here to learn art, but to visit you specially, and to have a good drink with you by the way!"

As he spoke, Tang Yu raised his hand with a smile, and the aroma of the two big boxes of packed roast duck overflowed, making Yunxiang's eyes straight when he saw it.

"You are a little bit filial!"

Shi Yunxiang licked his lips and laughed heartily.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder into the familiar main room.

Tang Yu was also very happy to see Shi Yunxiang who had visibly cheered up a lot.

Through conversation, Tang Yu learned that during this period of time, the old man went back to the Opera Association for a walk every day.

And those old guys who have been walking around for many years have also regained their old acquaintances.

After entering the house, Tang Yu took out the roast duck, arranged it on the table, and went to the kitchen to find two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Shi Yunxiang watched all this with a smile the whole time, with a kind and satisfied expression.

"Shilao, I know you have a good appetite, so I made two for you in one go, is it enough to eat?"

"If it's not enough, then I'll go..."

Before Tang Yu could speak, Shi Yunxiang waved his hand impatiently and interrupted, shaking his head again and again:

"Don't!"

"I know what your kid wants to say!"

"Don't buy me the lo-mei at the Hutongkou again!"

"Ever since I met you, kid, I feel panicked just by passing by!"

Hearing this, Tang Yu couldn't help laughing out loud, knowing that he had bought too much during the time when he was fighting for wine, and this old alcoholic was already tired of it!

Seeing that the dishes are ready, as for the wine, of course it is still the same.

Shi Yunxiang stomped his waist, and dug out two bottles of Erguotou, which Tang Yu drank until he felt sick from under the table.

"This is yours, this is mine!"

"Open up!"

Push one of the bottles in front of Tang Yu.

Shi Yunxiang couldn't wait to stretch out his oily hands, and tore off a big duck leg from the golden skin and steaming roast duck!

Yanjing Roast Duck is originally in the form of duck with sliced ​​skin.

That is, the skin and flesh are separated, and then served with shredded green onion, lotus leaf cake, and sweet noodle sauce.

Rolling it into a ball and eating it with dipping is the most authentic way of eating.

But for Shi Yunxiang, this way of eating is too troublesome.

According to the words of the old man, that would be to take off his pants and fart—it’s superfluous!
Anyway, it's something to put in your mouth, so why bother with all the fuss?
It would be refreshing to directly build a whole one!

Therefore, when Tang Yu, who is well versed in the taste of the elderly, bought roast duck, he specifically asked the cook to pack the whole duck.

Shi Yunxiang chewed the delicious duck leg, and praised loudly in his mouth:

"Hmm... as expected, it still smells like this, authentic enough!"

"How can you be considered old Yanjing if you don't have two ducks from Quanjude all year round?"

Tang Yu looked at Shi Yunxiang with a smile, a bright smile appeared on his face.

Seeing that Tang Yu didn't move his chopsticks, Shi Yunxiang stared: "Why are you sitting here and giggling? Why don't you pour wine for the old man!"

However, what Tang Yu was waiting for was his words.

There are no cups in the room, so I use porcelain bowls instead.

Tang Yu picked up the wine bottle, and poured a large bowl full of them for each of them with a quick movement.

"Go first!"

When Shi Yunxiang drank, he was never vague.

A bowl full, weighing half a catty, gurgled and gurgled into the throat.

After drinking the whole bowl of Erguotou until there was not a single drop left, the old man wiped his mouth with his cuff in satisfaction.

"Ouch, comfortable!"

Tang Yu took a step slower, and his posture was not as bold as Shi Yunxiang's.

But he also drank a bowl of wine.

Now he has a pretty good capacity for alcohol, and drinking three to five catties is not a problem.

After eating and drinking for a while, Shi Yunxiang put down the wine bowl, and suddenly sighed:
"Oh, I think back then, I should thank you very much."

Tang Yu smiled and said, "Shilao, what are you thanking me for?"

"Which one of our fathers is with whom? It's too natural to mention thank you!"

"no no!"

Shi Yunxiang shook his head slowly, with a serious expression on his face: "To be honest, before you appeared, I thought that Longguo opera would last for a few more years at most, and would eventually lead to death..."

"However, you boy turned out to be born out of nowhere, and you turned the tide of decline with only one person's strength. Not only that, but also revived the art of Chinese opera and revived its vitality!"

"Brother Qin and I have listened to that song "Exploring the Window", and the grandsons from the Opera Association are also studying it all day long. We all know how popular it is on the Internet."

"Tang Yu, you have found a new way to make Longguo opera acceptable to the general public without losing its charm."

"Based on this alone, your contribution to Longguo opera is enough to leave a name in history!"

"I must express my sincere thanks to you on behalf of all the predecessors in Liyuan!"

After all, regardless of Tang Yu's repeated dissuasion, Shi Yunxiang stood up stubbornly, and saluted Tang Yu with his hands clasped together.

Tang Yu couldn't avoid it, so he had to straighten his back and accept it calmly.

"I'm old, not just me, brother Qin, second brother Zhai, and Xiao Chai are all old."

"Including the entire Xiqu Association, they are all very old."

"At best, we only have the power to keep things going, and we can't change the status quo."

"The future of Longguo opera will ultimately rest on you and up-and-comers like you."

After a ceremony, Shi Yunxiang sat back on the bench again, and asked earnestly.

Tang Yu smiled wryly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Shi Lao, what you said is too flattering to me."

"It's true that I combined traditional opera with pop music."

"But without you, without Mr. Qin's selfless teaching, without the help of seniors from the Opera Association, how could I have achieved such a feat?"
