The Everlasting Feast Hall had a total of three floors and was decorated in an antique style. The first floor was an open dining room with more than 200 dining tables. The second floor was a private room with a total of 108 private rooms. It was spacious, bright, and comfortable. The third floor was the VIP area. The number of guests who were qualified to enter the third floor could be counted on one hand.
As Tan Xiu arrived, the restaurant manager had already been notified and warmly greeted him, "Are you Mr. Tang? I'm the manager of the Everlasting Feast Hall, Chu Hanqing. The Little Boss has just informed me that the VIP lounge on the third floor is ready. You and your friends can dine there. Everything you need here is free of charge. "
"Lead the way!"
Tan Xiu calmly nodded.
Jia Ruidao looked a bit excited as he followed beside Tan Xiu and said with a smile, "Brother Tang, we're really basking in your glory today. You know, countless dignitaries and dignitaries who want to climb to the third floor are stopped by the security personnel here. I never thought that I would be able to climb to the third floor of the Everlasting Feast Hall. "
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "It's just an external enjoyment. It's meaningless."
Jia Ruidao forced a smile and said, "Everyone pursues different things. You can keep a normal mind when facing external things, but people like you are very rare! "
Tan Xiu thought for a moment and felt that Jia Ruidao's words were quite reasonable. Everyone has their own pursuits. Some pursue fame and fortune, some pursue power and sex, some pursue material enjoyment, and some pursue spiritual sustenance. Just like himself, he only pursued two things: to spend time with his mother, and to cultivate.
The third floor had a total of 18 rooms, each of which was nearly 200 square meters. Although the interior decoration was also antique, it was extremely luxurious. Even though Tan Xiu didn't have much research on antiques and antiques, he could see that there were many old objects inside.
"Along the River during the Qingming Festival Painting?"
Just as Jia Ruidao entered the room, he noticed the calligraphy and painting on the wall. After observing it for a moment, he immediately exclaimed out loud.
The restaurant manager said with a smile, "Our Boss once participated in an auction in the harbor area. He bought this calligraphy and painting in that auction. I heard that he spent nine digits to bid for it. "
Tan Xiu's expression changed as he asked, "Have you seen your boss? I wasn't talking about your Little Boss. "
The restaurant manager nodded and said, "Of course. Because I was addicted to gambling, I lost everything and even lost my position as the CEO of a listed company. At that time, his family was separated, and he didn't have enough to eat. It could be said that he was extremely down and out. Fortunately, I met Boss. She paid off my debt, taught me martial arts, and let me work for her in the Everlasting Feast Hall. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed. "
Tan Xiu asked, "What's your boss's name? How old is he? "
"We can't easily reveal our Boss's name to others," said the restaurant manager. But her age! In the past ten years, I've only seen her four times. When I first met her, she looked about twenty years old, but the last time I saw her ten years ago, she also seemed to be twenty years old. Actually, I also find it strange. It's as if time doesn't leave any traces on her body. "
Twenty years old?
She looks almost the same as Gu Xiaoxue?
Tan Xiu frowned. The little girl he watched grow up was only eighteen years old when she left him for the first time.
Tan Xiu suddenly said, "Help me find a pen and a piece of paper."
"Please wait a moment!"
The restaurant manager immediately informed Tan Xiu's request through the intercom and then put the menu in front of Tan Xiu and the others. When Tan Xiu and the others finished ordering, the pen and paper were handed to Tan Xiu. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Tang Xiu drew a portrait on the paper.
What he drew was the appearance of his disciple in the Immortal World. She was eighteen years old, a flower-like age. Along with Tan Xiu's drawing, a vivid and lifelike portrait of a young girl was born. There was a beauty in the North. Her smile could topple a city, and her smile could topple a country. The girl in the painting had a sweet smile on her face, as if she had come to life.
"So beautiful!"
Jia Ruidao and his disciple, as well as the restaurant manager, were deeply attracted by the girl drawn by Tan Xiu. In a trance, they seemed to see a beautiful young girl, standing in front of them and smiling at them.
"Take a look, isn't that her?"
Tan Xiu looked at the restaurant manager and asked in a deep voice.
The restaurant manager sobered up from his intoxication. His eyes reluctantly moved away from the drawing as he shook his head and said, "You drew a fairy maiden. Although our Boss is also very beautiful, her appearance is completely different. "
"She isn't?"
A trace of loss and relief rose in Tan Xiu's heart. He wanted to see his disciple, whom he had raised and taught respectfully. But he was afraid that he would be involved with those who betrayed him.
"Forget it. You go and do your work!"
"Alright!"
The restaurant manager complied and left the hall.
Delicious delicacies were continuously served, as well as jars of wine were placed on the table. Two young and beautiful waiters didn't leave the hall. They poured wine for Tan Xiu, Jia Ruidao, and the others, and then sat on the sofa on the other side of the hall, waiting for Tan Xiu and the others to greet them.
"The wine is good!"
It was Tan Xiu's first time drinking wine since he returned to the modern era. He carefully tasted it and nodded in approval. He had drunk countless good wines, and he had a very high talent in wine-making. But this Everlasting Feast Hall's wine was also good.
Not bad?
Just not bad?
Jia Ruidao gulped down the wine in one gulp, showing an expression of wanting to continue. But when he heard Tan Xiu's words, he suddenly froze. He had lived for 60 years, yet this was the first time he had tasted such a delicious wine. How come Tang Xiu only gave it a "not bad" evaluation?
His three disciples couldn't help but shake their heads upon hearing Tan Xiu's words. They were all wine lovers, and it was also their first time tasting such a good wine. Therefore, they secretly ridiculed Tan Xiu's evaluation.
"Brother Tang, this is not an ordinary wine. I dare say that if we were to order wine in the box on the second floor, it would definitely not be this wine. Although the wine provided in the box on the second floor is also good, it's far inferior compared to this. "Jia Ruidao said with a smile.
Tan Xiu raised his glass and said, "Drink more if you like it."
Late at night, 12 o 'clock.
Tan Xiu, Jia Ruidao, and his disciples ate and drank to their heart's content as they directly left the restaurant. Since they didn't need to pay the bill, they saved a lot of money for Jia Ruidao and his disciples. It must be known that the cheapest meal in the box on the second floor would cost at least 100,000 yuan. Tonight, they had a sumptuous meal. Jia Ruidao secretly estimated that if he had to pay, he wouldn't be able to leave without at least a million yuan.
In the dim light of the night.
Five people were strolling on the shady forest trail. Occasionally, flying insects would linger around the dim lights on the roadside. Just as they were about to reach the parking lot, the road in front of them was blocked as mocking laughter entered their ears.
"Oh, isn't this Grandmaster Jia Ruidao? You lost so much during the day, how come you still have the mood to come to the Everlasting Feast Hall to drink at night? Don't tell me you want to drown your sorrows with wine? "
There were a total of 12 people in front of them. The one who spoke was one of the three youths in front of them. Tan Xiu didn't know who he was, but Jia Ruidao and his three disciples knew him. He was their nemesis, Chen Kai. The famous hedonistic young master of Jingmen Island.
Jia Ruidao took a step forward and coldly said, "Chen Kai, don't be insolent. We'll pay you back a hundredfold for the humiliation you gave me before. "
Chen Kai burst into laughter and said, "Did I hear it wrong? Do you still have a chance to turn the tables? Tomorrow! Tomorrow, I'll make you understand why the flowers are so red! Hahaha … "
"You …"
Jia Ruidao was furious.
"Chen Kai, he's Jia Ruidao? A famous professional gambler? "A youth asked lightly.
Chen Kai stared at Jia Ruidao provocatively. Then, with a flattering tone, he said, "Brother Chu, he's Jia Ruidao, the guy who almost lost his pants to me. The three guys behind him are all his disciples. That's right, the youngest one is his son, a prodigal son of a b * tch. "
The youth looked at Jia Ruidao as he lightly nodded and said, "Chen Kai, remember to leave a line for others. I'd like to see you later. If they bow their heads, I'll forget about this matter! That jade pendant is very good, I like it very much. It's mine later. "
"Good, good, good. Consider it as a gift from me to you, Brother Chu." Chen Kai happily said.
Jia Ruidao was stunned. He looked at Chen Kai and then at the youth. Suddenly, he flew into a rage and roared, "Chen Kai, you motherfucker! That jade pendant belongs to this old man's wife. I'll find a way to win it back. If you dare to give it to others, don't blame this old man for going all out against you! "
Chen Kai disdainfully said, "What I've won is mine. How I deal with it is none of your business. If you have the ability, then bring it on. This young master is not afraid of you. "
"Chen Kai!"
The youth who spoke just now shouted in a low voice.
Chen Kai shrunk his neck as he let out a hollow laugh and said, "Brother Chu, this old bastard is looking for trouble."
Jia Ruidao's eyes turned blood red as blue veins protruded on his forehead. His eyes looked as though he could devour someone as he glared at Chen Kai and said, "I'll naturally win back what I've lost. Tomorrow, I'll make you look good tomorrow. "
The youth surnamed Chu looked at Jia Ruidao and lightly said, "Generally, I won't return the things I've obtained. If you want the jade pendant, look for me. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chu Yi, from the Imperial Capital. "
Tan Xiu took a step forward as he looked at Chu Yi and said, "You just said that one should leave a line for others to meet again in the future. Since that jade pendant belongs to Jia Ruidao's deceased wife, I think you should give him a chance. If he can win it back tomorrow, the jade pendant will be returned to him. But if he loses tomorrow, we'll never mention this jade pendant again, and this bet will be completely over. How about it? "
Chu Yi squinted his eyes as he sized up Tan Xiu. With a faint smile, he asked, "Who are you?"
"Tan Xiu!"
