    I arrived at Taoshan in the morning and spent nearly four or five hours there. I just visited a small corner of Taoshan. Taoshan occupies a vast area in Xuanyuan Hill and is full of picturesque scenery. There are streams, cliffs, and waterfalls everywhere. The literati of the past dynasties  The stone carvings of Saoke, as well as the underground palace caves, which are known as one of the ten scenic spots in Taoshan. It would take at least a week to visit Taoshan.  After walking around the place where Yan Feiqing had beaten someone, it was already noon.  Seeing that various restaurants along the Taoxi River at the foot of Taoshan Mountain were already busy, Zhang Tie was satisfied, so he took his two daughters to a restaurant that looked pretty good on the side of the Taoxi River in Taoshan Mountain and went to have lunch.  Take a break by the way.  The waiters soliciting customers in front of restaurants in Xuanyuan Hill are famous in Taixia for their poisonous eyes. These people are used to seeing all kinds of people in Xuanyuan Hill, ranging from princes and nobles to traffickers and pawns.  There are also wealthy merchants, royal families, strange people and strangers from various subcontinents, etc., who have already developed a pair of sharp eyes through experience.  Zhang Tie had just led Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing to the door of the restaurant called Xiankeju. When the waiter saw the three people, his eyes lit up. Without thinking, he turned his head and shouted into the restaurant, "  Just like singing, "Three distinguished guests, one private room in the Tianzi No. 1 box" After saying this, the waiter immediately smiled with a smile on his face. He nodded and bowed to Zhang Tie and the others, making an invitation gesture, "Please, you three."  , please come inside, please come inside, the three of you will come, the shop will be full of glory, and it will definitely satisfy the three of you" Seeing that the waiter was funny, Zhang Tie laughed, and with a flick of his finger, a gold coin flew towards the waiter.  , "I'm going to reward you, please lead the way" The little boy quickly took the gold coins.  The smile on his face became a little more eager, and the service became more enthusiastic.  It¡¯s time for lunch now, and there are already many people in the restaurant.  Quite lively.  There is a patio inside the restaurant, and there is a table in the middle of the patio.  There is also an echo wall behind the stage. An elegant woman is sitting on a bench, holding a bamboo harp in each hand, and is striking the strings of the dulcimer. The cheerful and sweet sound,  It's like spring water emerging from the piano platform, which is fascinating.  The diners gathered in the restaurant sat in a large circle around the patio, eating one by one.  While listening to the water-like sound of the dulcimer, there were bursts of applause from time to time. From time to time, guests would throw some copper coins and silver coins into the sink in front of the stage as a reward for the performing woman.  Because the tip money was thrown into the box and the tinkling sound was a bit indecent and might affect the performance of the people on the stage, so it was thrown into the sink instead. The falling water made no sound and seemed more elegant. Every time  After the performance, the store will take inventory.  Or take a commission, and then give the money in the water tank to the artist.  Even the water money of artists is clean money. Throughout Taixia, there are countless artists who live on water money. Artists perform and the audience rewards them. This can be regarded as one of the restaurants in Taixia.  A different kind of scenery.  The three people entered the restaurant, led by the waiter.  Just go up the stairs from the corridor to the left of the door and reach the second floor.  Enter an elegant private room.  The private room is separated from the outside by a two-layer folded wooden peach screen, and there is a window at the back of the private room.  It faces Taoxi, and from the windows on the other side, you can enjoy the performances of the artists downstairs.  "What do you think of this place?" "Yes, this is it!" Zhang Tie is not too picky about these things. If he hadn't brought Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian with him, it wouldn't have mattered to Zhang Tie even if he was in the lobby below.  Seeing that it was quite clean and elegant, they decided to stay here, and the three of them sat down at the table.  "I heard that the mandarin fish at Taoxi in Xuanyuan Hill is pretty good" Bai Suxian said to Zhang Tie with a smile.  "You guys, there is no mandarin fish available in the store these days. If you want to eat mandarin fish, you have to wait for two months" Upon hearing Bai Suxian's words, the waiter immediately said with a smile on his face.  "Ah, why?" "Sir, please take a look!" The waiter pointed to a painting hanging in the box and the couplets on both sides of the painting.  The scene in the painting is the scenery of Taoxi and Taoshan. In the clear stream, mandarin fish with slightly fat bellies are swimming. Some mandarin fish are opening their mouths in the water, eating the food falling on the water.  The petals of the peach blossoms, as well as the birds chirping on the peach trees, are feeding. The birds in the nest open their mouths wide. The birds and fish are both vivid and vivid. On both sides of this painting is a  Vice couplet.  "I advise you not to eat fish in the third month, as there are thousands of fish larvae in your belly." "I advise you not to hunt the three-spring birds. The babies wait in the nest for their mothers to return." "This is the rule set by the shopkeeper. The restaurant here in Taoshan  Most restaurants are like this too, sir, don¡¯t blame me"" The waiter explained with a smile on his face, "In the past two days, in addition to Taoxi mandarin fish, the shop actually has many specialties and signature dishes. The shop's peach blossom cake and peach blossom wine are also outstanding.  , I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll satisfy you, Master¡­¡± ¡°Okay, then just watch as the food is served!¡±  "Zhang Tie smiled and didn't embarrass the waiter. There was no need to order anything. Just let the waiter bring the delicious food. "I guess there are too many dishes that three people can't finish. It's a waste. That's a small restaurant.  How about giving the three of you a few signature dishes and some refreshments?  "    "OK!  "The waiter bowed and exited the room. Zhang Tie looked at the paintings and couplets hanging in the room again, and suddenly said to Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian with emotion, "I know now that the so-called Chinese  Taixia's strength is by no means just due to its large number of knights and superior force. The source of Taixia's strength is also the culture of Taixia. In other subcontinents, various dynasties and races alternate between rise and fall, every two to three hundred years.  In a new situation, every dynasty and wealthy family will prosper and decline, and it is difficult to last. However, from the great catastrophe to the present, Taixia has become stronger and stronger. Why, because among all the civilizations and countries of all races, only the Chinese  Knowing what cherishing blessings is and what virtue is from heaven is a powerful gene rooted in the cultural heritage of the Chinese people. With such cultural heritage, it is difficult for the Chinese people not to be strong!  " Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian listened and nodded. After a while, the dishes were ready. Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing tasted the dishes in the store, chatted, and enjoyed the performance below, relaxed  It was very pleasant. Just in the middle of the meal, heavy footsteps sounded in the corridor outside. It seemed that a group of people were walking outside. Among the footsteps, there was a loud and rough voice.  Some people shouted in less than standard Chinese, "What, if the price of the standard room upstairs is less than 30 silver coins, a room fee of 2 silver coins will be charged. Why is it so expensive?"  " Hearing this voice, Zhang Tie's whole body was shocked. The chopsticks in his hand stopped for a moment and he forgot to move Zhang Tie will never forget this voice, because the owner of this voice was the one who once gave black  The one-eyed Captain Colin left the darkest and most terrifying impression on all the male beasts in Yancheng during their adolescence. At the beginning, few of the beasts in The Seventh Man did not live in the shadow of this man.  Even Zhang Tie himself, for a while, felt that this one-eyed dragon might be one of the most terrifying people in the world. If his body had not recovered and his hearing was normal, Zhang Tie would have almost thought that he was hearing something.  Seeing that Zhang Tie stopped when he heard this voice, Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing both looked at Zhang Tie with curiosity. They both guessed that Zhang Tie might be familiar with the person who made the voice outside.  People outside?  " Yan Feiqing's voice transmission reached his ears, and Zhang Tie nodded. Yan Feiqing and Bai Suxian glanced at each other and stopped talking. Both of them were curious about Zhang Tie's relationship with the people outside. "Colin, it's a private room.  , it¡¯s not a standard room, I¡¯ve told you many times, why do you always get it confused!  "Another helpless and somewhat lazy voice sounded. This voice was equally familiar to Zhang Tie. It belonged to Jerome. Compared with Captain Colin's half-baked Chinese, Jerome's Chinese was much more authentic, "Okay.  Yes, since there are no tables downstairs, then we need the private room upstairs" Jerome said the following words to the waiter. "Do we still have that much money? Who said that this morning?  We have to be more economical. Although it is fun to eat the King's meal here, I guess we may not be able to bear the consequences" Captain Colin began to mumble, but this sentence was no longer in Chinese, but in Xibo.  "Who said we were going to eat the King's meal? The province is the province, but we can't wrong ourselves too much" Jerome replied in Hebrew. As he spoke, several people entered the private room next to Zhang Tie and the others.  "Anyway, if the money runs out, then go to Milton to apply for some activity funds" "But that old guy from Milton has been looking at us more and more wrongly in the past few days. I think he may think we are  The liar is thinking about how to deal with us and tear us into pieces!  "Captain Colin continued to mutter in Hebrew. "Can you show me the menu here?  "Entering the private room next to him, Jerome ignored Captain Colin and spoke to the waiter in the store in Chinese. After ordering a few dishes and the waiter left, Jerome's voice sounded again,  Said in Hebrew, "He just suspected, not confirmed, this is Taixia, it is Xuanyuan Hill, it is the city of ten thousand cities of the human race, the capital of all nations, it is a place where knights who kill without reason will be beheaded, any country  Any big shot is hereWith extraterritoriality, Milton didn't dare do anything to us. Besides, he can't blame us. He has been here for more than three months, and he has a pile of documents, but even the diplomats of the Republic of Lesa stationed in Xuanyuan Hill didn't know.  If we haven¡¯t seen, let alone met, Taixia¡¯s diplomats, what can we do¡± (To be continued.)
