Chapter Seventy-Four: The Yellow River Restaurant
The Ma family's foreign aid kept wiping his sweat, the huge pressure made it difficult for him to calm down, the three brothers of the Ma family stared at him like eagles, he knew what his mistake would mean?
He shook his hand slightly, swallowed dryly, took an arrow, calmed down for a moment, he took a deep breath, opened his bow and arrow, and it seemed that everything was going as usual.
But only he knew that his eyes were a little blurry, and sweat seeped down, turning the target fifty paces away into a ball.
He could only shoot this arrow by feeling, and at this time, his arm began to tremble, and he could not drag it any longer, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, the bowstring loosened, and an arrow 'Whoosh!' 'Shoot out.
"Four points!"
The arrow was only a little short of the inner circle, but it was still good, and it took four points.
The Ma family's foreign aid suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt that he was collapsed.
The Ma family jubilated and hugged each other excitedly, they won, even if the other party scored six points in the last arrow, they would also win.
Liang Wu's face was as dead as ashes, he swore in the morning that he would take down the Ma family, but he didn't expect them to lose instead.
Liang Huihe patted his son's arm and comforted him in a low voice, "It's okay, there is still a sword game in the afternoon, and we still have hope of qualifying." ”
At this time, Guo Song drew an arrow and calmly shot the last arrow.
The last arrow should be squatting down and shooting from the bottom up, which can form five arrows concentric, but the last arrow he actually shot flat, which made many people sigh in their hearts, and Guo Song also gave up.
At this moment, the atmosphere became weird, the magistrate couldn't shout the score for a long time, everyone whispered, and the Ma family, who was celebrating, also felt strange and stopped.
Li Hui and Zhao Yunlun both looked at the scene on the arrow target in amazement, the last arrow, Guo Song actually shot the tail of the fourth arrow, and the two arrows were strung together.
"Arrows!" Liang Huihe suddenly shouted loudly.
This is the standard continuous arrow, not a continuous shot, but two arrows hit the tail of the arrow, connected as one.
Liang Huihe suddenly shouted again: "This is also five arrows concentric!" ”
Who's to say it isn't? Aren't the fourth and fifth arrows a bull's-eye?
It's just that this situation has never been seen before, and the leader of the Ma family suddenly became anxious, and shouted loudly: "Either even the arrows, or the five arrows are concentric, it can only be counted as the same, not both!" ”
"Why not? It has to be both! Liang Huihe was also anxious, and at the critical moment, he would never give in.
If both are counted, then one arrow is seven points, the opponent is four points, and the opponent is three points over, and the ending is a draw, which is too critical for both sides.
Li Hui and Zhao Yunlun discussed for a while, and immediately sent someone to find all the magistrates, and the magistrates of the seven shooting ranges all rushed to the third shooting range.
All seven magistrates froze, none of them had ever seen such a situation.
The two team leaders were still arguing tensely, and Li Hui said loudly: "Don't quarrel, listen to me." ”
Everyone quieted down, and Li Hui said to everyone: "This situation has never happened, and it is estimated that one magistrate can't decide, so let the seven magistrates plus me and Zhao Duwei, a total of nine people vote to decide, whether it is six points or seven points, do you accept it?" ”
Liang Huihe nodded, "I accept!" ”
"What about the Ma family?" Li Hui's gaze turned to the Ma family again.
The leader of the Ma family hesitated, "I accept it too!" ”
"Okay, let's vote!"
Everyone wrote down their own judgments and handed them to Li Hui.
Guo Song asked Liang Wu in a low voice, "What will happen if we lose the bow game?" ”
Liang Wu sighed and said: "Losing the bow game is equivalent to the Ma family winning one game in advance in the sword game, in this case, if we want to qualify, there are only three consecutive wins in the afternoon, or three to one, and any other situation is the Ma family's qualification." ”
At this time, Li Hui had finished tidying up, he was a little surprised, got up and announced with a smile: "There are a total of nine votes, all agree to give seven points!" ”
"Ahh
The Liang family immediately cheered, hugged each other excitedly, and Liang Wu was even more excited to punch Guo Song's shoulder, "You kid, you're really amazing!" ”
Guo Song didn't hear Li Hui's announcement clearly, he smiled slightly and asked, "Is this flat?" ”
"Equal! The Jedi Strikes Back, one hundred and eight to one hundred and eight. ”
Liang Ling'er was jumping and jumping excitedly outside, and the cheers of the audience outside were too loud, and no one heard what she was shouting?
Everyone in the Ma family was like ashes, and the third Ma Tianyou kicked over the wooden platform where the arrows were fired, and scolded: "Raised by a son of a bitch, the Han people don't have a good thing!" ”
Zhao Yunlun took the first step, snatched Guo Song's arrow target into his hand, and said with a smile: "Take it to the official exhibition, there are no ancients before, and no one will come after, I'm afraid it's just this time." ”
………..
The bow game in the morning is over, the time is still early, a wooden platform will be built on the school ground, and the sword game will be held in the afternoon, and it will take at least two hours to wait.
Each family's team went back to the city to find a place to have lunch, usually back to their respective castles, but today Liang Huihe was in a very good mood, and he announced on the spot that he would invite everyone to have lunch at the Yellow River Restaurant.
The crowd cheered and rushed to the city.
The Yellow River Restaurant is near the North City Gate, diagonally opposite the bazaar where Guo Song went.
The Yellow River Restaurant is one of the three major restaurants in Lingzhou City, covering an area of five acres, only two floors, there is no lobby, the first floor and the second floor are private rooms separated by wooden boards and screens, but the size is different.
To be honest, it was the first time for Guo Song to enter a restaurant in the Tang Dynasty, and he was full of curiosity about everything.
Today is the martial arts meeting, business is very prosperous, the first floor is already full, they can only go up to the second floor.
The Yellow River Restaurant is a popular restaurant, the grade is not high, there is no seat to pay attention to, the room has 20 square meters, a rectangular table in the middle, and a circle of high feet is placed around it.
In the Tang Dynasty, to see whether a restaurant is of high grade, it depends on how high it sits on the couch, the normal couch is only ten centimeters high, and the mat must be spread on it, and you must sit on your knees or cross-legged.
If the couch is more than 30 centimeters, it is called a high-foot couch, then you can sit with your feet on the ground, this sitting method is called Kei sitting, that is, sitting with open legs, very unsightly, generally the middle and lower class of working people like to sit like this.
Therefore, many people with status will feel that this is a place where low-level people come to eat, and if they lose their identity and dignity when they eat here, they will not come.
The Yellow River Restaurant is a high-legged couch, up to 50 centimeters, the couch is very wide, you can sit cross-legged, you can kneel, of course, you can also open your legs to sit.
Guo Song sat cross-legged, he is today's hero, of course, he is sitting next to Liang Huihe, Liang Linger is sitting next to him, Liang Linger is a girl, of course she can't sit cross-legged, she can't sit cross-legged, it's not elegant, she can only sit on her knees.
Liang Huihe said with a smile: "Guo Xian's nephew, the roast whole sheep in this restaurant is the most famous, you must book in advance, I booked two in the morning, you can order other dishes, what you want to eat, feel free!" ”
Guo Song shook his head, "I haven't been here, I'm not familiar with it, you order, what do I eat?" ”
"Then I'll do some!"
Liang Ling'er said impatiently to the bartender: "The two roasted whole sheep have been ordered in the morning, and then two pots of braised Yellow River carp, two pots of haggis soup, two plates of eight kinds of game cold vegetables, seven or eight kinds of seasonal vegetables and fruits, that's about it." ”
Then she asked the crowd, "What do you want to drink?" Wine or rice wine? ”
Liang Wudao: "There is still a sword game in the afternoon, so I won't drink the wine, everyone will have a bowl of goat's milk, and then squeeze some grape pulp, that's it." ”
Liang Wen suddenly said: "If you don't give Brother Guo a bowl of deer blood, we will count on him in the afternoon." ”
"!"
Liang Wu slapped the back of his head, "Guo Song is not married, can he drink deer blood?" ”
Everyone immediately laughed, and Liang Ling'er blushed and quietly asked Guo Songdao: "Brother Guo, do you plan to marry a wife and start a family in Lingzhou?" ”
Everybody's ears pricked up, and it was an interesting topic.
Guo Song smiled slightly: "Actually, half a month ago, I was still a monk, and I never considered marrying a wife, and after this competition is over, I may have to go to the capital, my senior brother is in the capital as a watchman, and there are a lot of things to deal with." ”
Liang Ling'er looked disappointed, "Will Brother Guo come to Lingzhou in the future?" ”
"Of course I'm coming, my household registration is here, and besides, I promised you to take you to hunt wild boars, right?"
"What!"
Liang Ling'er was suddenly anxious, and tears were about to welling up, "You obviously promised me that you would go hunting wild boars after the competition, why did it become a future again?" ”
Guo Song patted his head and smiled: "I'm a little confused, then go twice, take you to hunt once after the competition, and when I come back in the future, I will take you to hunt again, now it's okay!" ”
Liang Ling'er burst into tears and laughed, "It's almost the same, it scared me to death just now." ”
Liang Wu whispered to his father, "If only Ling'er was a few years older." ”
"Don't say this, it's not good for people to hear it."
In fact, why didn't Liang Huihe think so? Such an excellent martial artist, if he can become the son-in-law of the Liang family, then the cornerstone of the Liang family's rise will be there.
What a pity!
Liang Huihe's experience is much deeper than that of his son, and after a deep conversation with his brother, he understands in his heart that the shallow water of Lingzhou cannot accommodate Guo Song, a fierce dragon.
After a while, the bartender first brought drinks, vegetables and fruits, and the cold dishes of Bapin's game also came up.
At this moment, someone outside shouted in a rough voice: "We want these two roasted whole sheep, bring them to us!" ”
