"Master Zhao, is this the restaurant you mentioned?"
In a small alley in the west of Yandi City, Li Fu looked at the ordinary-looking little shop in front of him and curiously asked Zhao Mingkong next to him.
"That's right, young prince, please come with me!" Zhao Mingkong responded and couldn't wait to lead Li Fu and others into the restaurant.
He Qingliu and Chen Han, who were following behind Li Fu, looked at each other and saw strangeness and confusion in each other's eyes.
I don't understand what kind of magic power this ordinary-looking little restaurant has, so that it can charm Zhao Mingkong, who is always calm and steady, devoted to martial arts and doesn't like foreign things, into this state.
Not only did he have to come all the way here for a meal every day, but he also specially brought the young prince here.
Early this morning, Zhao Mingkong came to Li Fu and told him that he had found a small restaurant. Not only was the food delicious, it even had the effect of nourishing blood and qi, and improving cultivation!
Especially the egg fried rice made by the boss, it even glows, like a miracle, it attracts people's admiration!
After Zhao Mingkong ate for almost a month and found no problems, he dared to tell Li Fu and invite him to eat too.
Will the fried rice glow?
If you tell such unrealistic words, no matter who you tell them, they will probably only listen to them as amusement.
But Li Fu showed great interest and took He Qingliu and Chen Han with him on the spot and headed straight to the west of the city.
Zhao Mingkong was so moved by Li Fu's "trust" that he assured him that the food cooked by that restaurant would definitely be countless times more delicious than the food cooked by the palace chef! It will definitely make Li Fu’s trip worthwhile!
The door of the restaurant is not big, with a plaque across it. There are three big characters "Tian Tian Ju" on a brown background with gold letters. There is a short couplet hanging on the left and right of the door, which reads: "Guests come to Tian Tian Ju, and guests come from heaven."
Although the decoration of this small shabby shop is extremely simple and plain, it has been cleaned very clean and is almost spotless.
You know, restaurants are places with a lot of fumes, and with the coming and going of guests, the dishes in the dishes are sloshing around, and it is easy for dirt to burst out. Regardless of the size of the store, it is extremely rare to be able to keep it so clean.
There are only five tables and twenty stools in the store, and they are all filled with customers at this time. Each guest had a satisfied smile on his face, tasting the food in front of him happily, and was completely intoxicated with the food.
Behind the counter at the entrance of the store, there was a young man in white robe sitting. He had sword-like eyes and starry eyebrows. He was extremely handsome, with a touch of complacency and confidence in his expression. After seeing Zhao Mingkong, he showed a smile and greeted: " Brother Zhao is here? Please line up, there are eight people in front of you. Are these all your friends? Then they will be in line with you."
The young man's calm gaze swept over Li Fu and others. Even though he could see that the identity of the person who came was definitely unusual, his expression remained the same as before, without any change in his expression.
"Eight people? There are not many people today! Okay, let's wait a moment!" Zhao Mingkong responded with a smile.
"Wait a minute?" Chen Han, who followed closely behind, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Zhao Mingkong's words. He pulled Zhao Mingkong's sleeve and said, "Mingkong, do you want the young prince to wait here?"
"This..." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Mingkong's face, and he turned to Li Fu and Chen Han and explained in a low voice: "Young prince, brother Chen, let's wait a moment. There are rules in this store and it is not allowed. You are not allowed to jump in line and resell your seat. Anyway, there are only eight people in front of you, which is not many, so it doesn’t hurt to wait! Don’t worry, the food in this store is definitely worth waiting for, let alone eight people, even if there are eighty or eight hundred people. ah!"
He Qingliu, who came in with Chen Han, was attracted by the menu placed at the door.
"Steamed anchovies 150 gold, braised pork 80 gold, stir-fried yellow beef 65 gold, scrambled eggs with tomatoes 30 gold, stir-fried shredded potatoes 15 gold, hot and sour cabbage 15 gold, fried soybean noodles 12 gold, fried noodles 10 gold, green onions and tofu 8 gold, peanuts for 5 gold, pickles for 2 gold... egg fried rice for 100 gold?" The more he read about it, the more stunned he became. After reading all the dish names and prices, He Qingliu was stunned and looked at it in disbelief. He asked Zhao Mingkong: "Xiao Zhao, did this store mark the price wrong? Did they write copper as gold?"
To be honest, even if the gold is replaced by copper, it is still much more expensive than an ordinary restaurant!
Following He Qingliu's voice, Li Fu and Chen Han's eyes were also drawn to the menu.
Li Fu was okay and had been mentally prepared for it, but Chen Xuan couldn't hold back anymore and started making trouble: "150 gold for a fish? 15 gold for potato shreds? 100 gold for egg fried rice? What do you mean? What is it for? Dragon eggs? Or is the rice made of gold?! It’s such a small shop, with this price, and you still have to wait for a seat? Mingkong, if we didn’t know the details, I would have doubted whether you were taking kickbacks!”
With their status as He Qingliu and Chen Han, one hundred and eighty thousand dollars is nothing to them. It's not that they can't afford a dish costing hundreds of dollars, let alone that they haven't seen it before.
But what are these things? A portion of egg fried rice costs one hundred gold? They are rich, but they are not sick!
He Qingliu and Chen Xian's voices were not quiet. Not only did they not avoid the young man in white robe behind the counter, they could even be heard by the guests dining in the store.
The young man in white robe was still lying on the chair without even a trace of unnecessary expression. He seemed to have been used to it for a long time. Some people questioned his rules and the price of the food in the restaurant.
Even the customers in the store were not surprised by this. They looked up at each other and showed a knowing smile. Occasionally, there are a few warm-hearted people who will comfort Chen Xian.
"Brother, although the price of this natural meal is ridiculously expensive, it is definitely worth it! You will know after you eat it!"
"Old man, just eat it! Brother Yang's craftsmanship is absolutely superb! No one will say a word when he eats it!"
"I'm not bragging. Although I have never eaten the food cooked by the palace chef, I can be sure that it is not as delicious as Xiao Yang's!"
"If I can eat such delicious food, I won't regret it even if I die!"
"Yes! Now if I don't eat the food cooked by Brother Yang for a day, I feel uncomfortable all over! I have no appetite for anything! Oh, think about what kind of pig food I ate before? My life has been in vain!"
"..."
People's praises came one after another in the small store.
At the same time, Zhao Mingkong also stopped Chen Han and persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Chen, just listen to me. Can I still harm the young prince? Don't worry, I will pay the bill today. You can eat and order as you like! If you are not satisfied, I’ll give you my little brother’s head!”
"It doesn't matter who pays the bill. It's not that I can't afford it, Old Chen! It's not that I don't trust you!" Seeing Zhao Mingkong say this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but explained quickly: "I just think this dish and the price are a bit... Outrageous, that’s why…”
"alright!"
Finally, Li Fu, who had been silent, stood up, interrupted Chen Xian's words, and said with a smile: "Let's eat here today, I believe in Master Zhao."
