Gao Hui and Zuo Zuo had never been to a small tavern before. Although they knew that it was a different world, they didn't expect it to be so beautiful.
Under the bright lights, the trees in the distance provided shade, and the flowers in the vicinity bloomed. Even though it was only a small courtyard, it gave off a feeling of vitality and comfort.
Wei Wei, who had been here before, didn't follow Zuo Zuo. It wasn't that she didn't want to come, but she knew that Zuo Zuo's senior brother was here. Even if she came, she could only say a few words of encouragement.
Plus, the tavern wasn't big, so she didn't join in the fun. It could be considered as a way to lighten Yuan Zhou's burden.
When Zuo Zuo and Gao Hui pulled their eyes away from the scenery in the courtyard, they were once again attracted by the exquisite layout of the second floor.
Yuan Zhou observed the expressions of the two imperceptibly and found that they were very appreciative of the changes in the pub. Instantly, he felt relieved in the bottom of his heart. Since first-timers would like it, the long-time customers would naturally like it as well. After all, they were all customers of Master Chef Restaurant. Their aesthetic sense would definitely be similar to his.
As soon as Yuan Zhou appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of numerous drinkers.
"Boss Yuan is finally here. Quick, tell everyone, is this round table used for performances?" Chief Brewer Shu shouted.
Although he was old, his voice was full of energy, probably from yelling at his disciples.
Chief Brewer Shu couldn't be blamed for being anxious for Yuan Zhou's judgment. The reason was that Wuhai felt that the table was too small and couldn't be arranged properly. He wanted to occupy the round table for himself.
If it weren't for the majority of the twenty people present disagreeing, Wuhai might have occupied the round table all by himself. He wouldn't even need to fight for the dishes; they would all be his.
Of course, the black beast's momentum was unstoppable. Therefore, when Chief Brewer Shu saw Yuan Zhou arrive, it was as if he had seen his savior.
"It is indeed used for performances." Yuan Zhou nodded affirmatively. "It's mainly because the tavern is small. Apart from wine and food, there is no other entertainment. I have specially prepared some performances for everyone. I hope everyone will like them from time to time."
"What performance? Actually, we can just serve more dishes," Wuhai said straightforwardly.
Although everyone thought that Yuan Zhou couldn't cook more dishes on the show, they couldn't say it out loud. Not everyone was as shameless as Wuhai.
"I wonder what program Boss Yuan has prepared?" Fang Heng was the first to ask.
Ever since he had learned some skills of making bamboo liquor from Yuan Zhou, the business of his family's winery had improved a lot. After all, their winery didn't have bourbon, rye whiskey, Gill, and other fake liquors.
Like other shops on Taoxi Road, they all drank soup. Yuan Zhou's liquor was of the highest quality, but the quota was limited. Many people who were addicted to liquor would choose the Fang Family's bamboo liquor produced by Fang Heng's Winery if they wanted to drink good liquor.
"Yes. Is there any program? If there isn't, I can make up the numbers. I just need more liquor." Master Tang couldn't forget about this.
He didn't have the burden of a master at all. Liquor was enough.
"Today, there will be a performance of crosstalk and storytelling. Everybody can enjoy it." While saying that, Yuan Zhou stepped aside and revealed Zuo Zuo and Gao Hui behind him.
It wasn't because Gao Hui was short that he was blocked like Zuo Zuo, but because everybody's attention had been on Yuan Zhou all the time. In addition, the light behind him was dim. Due to the atmosphere created, they really didn't notice so many people.
Now that Yuan Zhou stepped aside, Zuo Zuo and Gao Hui became very conspicuous.
More than 20 people all focused their eyes on them. Zuo Zuo was quite flustered at first, but gradually, probably because of the surrounding atmosphere, her nervous mood faded little by little. Even the frequency of her lips trembling also decreased.
Before they came up, they had discussed that Zuo Zuo would start the performance first. Therefore, taking advantage of the atmosphere, Zuo Zuo didn't look at others. Instead, she lowered her head and put away the zither case. Then, she took out a small and exquisite pipa from inside.
She planned to use this as an accompaniment for herself. The erhu that Gao Hui had prepared was not useful, so Second Senior Brother let Zuo Zuo do it herself.
When the customers saw Zuo Zuo's actions, they didn't make any more noise. Instead, they all stared at her. What Boss Yuan had prepared must be interesting, so most of them focused on Zuo Zuo.
Of course, there were exceptions. For example, Wu Hai took advantage of everyone's distraction to eat wantonly. He was already fast, but now, it was hard to see his afterimage.
"Clang, clang, clang."
Zuo Zuo took a deep breath and sat on a stool. She held the pipa horizontally and tried a few notes before opening her voice.
"Don't talk nonsense. Today, let's show a hero, Wu Erlang. It's said that Wu Song went to Shaolin Temple to learn boxing and studied for more than eight years. When he returned home, he caused a ruckus in Dongyue Temple. Five bullies from the Li family were injured by him … "
This was Zuo Zuo's first speech. She carefully selected the part where Wu Song fought the tiger. There were many scenes of Wu Song drinking in the tavern. It sounded like the tavern in Yuan Zhou was suitable for the occasion. This was also the reason why she chose this part.
It could be seen that it was carefully prepared. Zuo Zuo's first speech was vigorous and her voice was low. When she spoke, there was a bit of charm. She plucked the pipa from time to time and matched it with some background music. It made everyone's spirits rise.
The customers were waiting for Zuo Zuo's performance. When she suddenly opened her mouth, it was clear that she was an expert.
Originally, when they saw Zuo Zuo's small appearance, they thought that it would be good to sing some Wu Nong soft songs.
But when Zuo Zuo opened her mouth, everyone was shocked. Her imposing manner, sonorous and powerful words were clear and articulate. She spoke vividly and vividly. It was as if there was an image of a powerful and boorish man in front of them, drinking from big bowls and eating big pieces of meat, bold and unrestrained.
Even Gao Hui couldn't help but be shocked. When he saw Zuo Zuo's appearance on the stage, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Then, he took out his phone, intending to record a part to tell his master the good news. Although he had left for a few years, it didn't mean that he didn't pay attention to his master's news. He naturally knew that his master was so worried about Zuo Zuo that even his beard had turned white.
"Head Chef Yuan, can I record a part?" Gao Hui asked for Yuan Zhou's opinion in a low voice.
"Sure," Yuan Zhou nodded.
He didn't have any rules that forbade recording. It was fine as long as it didn't disturb other customers. Didn't Fang Heng and the others get very excited?
After getting permission, Gao Hui took his phone and squatted down in front of Zuo Zuo. He turned on the camera function of his phone and started recording.
As for Zuo Zuo, ever since she went on stage, apart from her initial nervousness, she felt very comfortable when she raised her head and saw many familiar faces below. They were all friends who had eaten in the same restaurant. Then, she moved her hands and the pipa sounded. Naturally, the words that she had prepared beforehand were spoken.
She was so skillful and natural that it didn't seem like it was her first time on stage. Instead, she was like a veteran.
From her performance, one wouldn't be able to see the timid Zuo Zuo that didn't dare to speak in front of others more than a month ago.
"Zuo Zuo is right. Although her voice is a little soft, the meal was not in vain." Yuan Zhou was also very satisfied with Zuo Zuo's performance.
