Chapter 323 Wontons are no longer fragrant
When questioned like this by Wu Feilian, the young man named Tang Zihu was at a loss for words and could not say a single word.
After a long time, Tang Zihu finally opened his mouth and said: "Who said that there is no novel in the world that can't compare to "The Legend of White Snake"?"
"Isn't it like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" that are so popular and so expensive in Luoyang?"
The young man didn't want to be refuted by the little girl like this, so he spoke very unhappily.
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha..." Fatty Gong couldn't help laughing, "Thank you for the compliment, thank you for the compliment!"
Hearing what Fatty Gong said, everyone looked confused?
Praise?
Who are you praising?
I'm not praising you. I'm praising the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin". Does he have anything to do with you?
Everyone was speechless!
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin are both masterpieces of the time!"
"But this is because of the author's profound writing skills. What does it have to do with you?"
Tang Zihu stood up unconvinced and said to Fatty Gong.
"Hey!"
"You only know about eggs, but you don't know who is the hen that lays the eggs!" Fatty Gong said rather sarcastically.
"Pah!" Huang Tinghui slapped Fatty Gong on the forehead unceremoniously, "Who do you think is the hen?"
"Hehehe, it's just a metaphor, I'm not talking about you!"
"I'm not talking about you!" Fatty Gong explained hurriedly.
"Who are you?" Looking at Huang Tinghui who slapped Fatty Gong, the scholars asked a little strangely.
"I am the one you are talking about, the scholar named Huang Tinghui!" Huang Tinghui did not hide it, he spoke directly to everyone.
"Huang Tinghui?" When Huang Tinghui announced his family name, everyone looked embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, I arranged for others behind their backs, but it all fell into their ears.
Is there anything more embarrassing than this?
"The comments we just made were from a fair point of view. We are all scholars, and it is only natural that we comment on each other."
Fortunately, Tang Zihu is very thick-skinned. When he said this, his face did not blush and his heart did not beat.
Huang Tinghui smiled and didn't argue with him.
However, this scene seemed to be a bit contemptuous in Tang Zihu's eyes.
At this time, Tang Zihu took a step forward and said, "Brother Tinghui, since you and I have met, let me ask you a question!"
"Which one of your "The Legend of White Snake", "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" is better?"
Huang Tinghui was not annoyed when he heard Tang Zihu's reluctant question. He just replied, "The Legend of White Snake is a story that people in the market prefer!"
"As for "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they are more suitable for readers to entertain themselves in their free time."
"Everyone has his own merits. As for the others, Tinghui won't comment!"
Huang Tinghui did not make too many comments, he just talked to everyone as if it were a matter of fact.
But in the ears of Tang Zihu and others, it had a different meaning.
After all, the hierarchy in this era is quite strict, especially for those scholars who are famous.
They look down on people in the market. Since Huang Tinghui said that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" are more suitable for the entertainment of scholars, isn't this a disguised admission that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" are superior to "The Legend of White Snake"?
"You have good taste and you are a scholar after all!"
"Then how can "The Legend of White Snake" be compared with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin"?"
"As long as you are a scholar who has read books, you will know which one is better and which one is worse!" Tang Zihu nodded in agreement. As he spoke, he glanced at Fatty Gong who was standing next to Huang Tinghui.
It seems that he is mocking Fatty Gong for not knowing what real good things are.
But looking at Tang Zihu's gaze, Fatty Gong became even more sullen.
He almost laughed out loud!
At this time, the owner of the wonton shop also brought out the fragrant wontons.
"Your Majesty, here we come!"
"Four big bowls of delicious wontons, enjoy!"
Throwing the towel on his body, the owner of Wonton'er was quite agile.
Smelling the aroma of wontons, Tang Zihu and others also felt hungry.
As for Huang Tinghui's attitude, Tang Zihu was also extremely satisfied.
It was just an accidental dramatic conflict. Tang Zihu believed that he was still tolerant.
So he said to the scholars, "These wontons smell delicious!"
"I'm used to eating chicken, duck, and fish, and they're all meaty things!"
"I'm about to try it when I come to the hospital. It's okay to have a bowl of hot wontons for a different taste!"
The greedy scholars had long been attracted by the hot wontons. When they heard Tang Zihu's suggestion, they did not express any objection.
I saw Tang Zihu waving to the owner of the wonton shop, "Shopkeeper, bring us six wontons!"
Seeing the business coming to his door, the owner of the wonton shop smiled happily. He smiled at Tang Zihu and others, "Okay!"
"Six bowls of wontons, coming soon!"
"Sir, please take a seat!"
The owner of the wonton shop was very quick with his hands. He just had a slotted spoon to dip the wontons into the hot soup, and then put them into the fragrant soup.
Finally, I picked up a little chopped green onion and sprinkled it into the fragrant wonton soup. The fragrance was even more fragrant and brought out the greedy people.
"Sir, six bowls of wontons!"
"Coming!"
Putting the fragrant wontons on the tray, the owner of the wonton shop placed the bowls of fragrant wontons in front of everyone.
Tang Zihu and others were also hungry, so they picked up the wontons with spoons and put them into their mouths.
"Shopkeeper!"
"Good craftsmanship!" A certain scholar who was traveling with Tang Zihu gave the owner of the wonton shop a thumbs up.
Listening to the scholar's compliment, the shop owner scratched his head in embarrassment.
At this time, Huang Tinghui, the little girl and others ate all the wontons in the bowl.
Afterwards, several people checked out and left directly.
After a while, Fatty Gong turned back again. It turned out that he had left something here.
But when Fatty Gong took his things and was about to leave, he smiled at Tang Zihu again.
This smile fell in Tang Zihu's eyes, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Why are you smiling at me just now and now?"
"Are you mocking me?" Tang Zihu asked directly.
"Hahaha, you finally discovered it!"
If Fatty Gong had no other abilities, his method of irritating people was second to none.
"Tinghui was by my side just now, so I can't laugh at you directly!"
"Now that Tinghui is not here, why should I keep pretending?" Fatty Gong said in a very mean tone.
Tang Zihu's cheeks twitched, he looked at the fat man and asked, "Why are you laughing at me?"
"Laughing at your ignorance!"
"Do you know where the first merchants who published "Water Margin" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" came from?"
"People from Ruian County!"
"Then who is the author of "Water Margin" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
"My brother Huang Tinghui!"
"Now, do you understand?" The shameless Fatty Gong said this and ran out.
Tang Zihu was left stunned on the spot.
When he lowered his head and looked at the wontons in front of him, Tang Zihu suddenly felt that the wontons were no longer so fragrant.
