It was the first time for Old Man Liu to encounter such a guest.

Dengxian Lou ordered a shadow puppet show at least 20 times, classics like Journey to the West and Liang Zhu needed 50 times, and the most generous guests in the past only ordered three times at a time.

The etiquette kindly stepped forward to remind them of the price of the play, and Ju Yiya said nonchalantly in unfamiliar Chinese: "It won't be less money." ”

Etiquette saw that although the two of them were dressed strangely, they had extraordinary temperaments, especially one of the women who was adorned with various gold, silver and gemstone ornaments, presumably the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the Western Regions, so he didn't say anything, but asked them enthusiastically what they needed to order.

Not to mention Ju Yiya, who has never been to Datang, even Aqinu, who thinks she is a master of Datang, has never heard of the dishes in Dengxian Tower, and finally Ju Yiya simply ordered the dishes on the menu that she thought were good.

Listening to books is not easy for Ju Yiya to understand, without Akinu's explanation, she must have listened to it in a fog, but shadow puppetry is different, there are not many places to talk about shadow puppetry, plus the image of the paper figure performance she can listen to seven or eight points by herself, and she is immediately excited.

When the dishes they ordered were served on the table, Ju Yiya found that the table was full of dazzling colors, and these colorful and fragrant delicacies were even more sumptuous than when the king held a banquet.

In Gaochang in addition to wine really do not have any good food, many people think that the nomads drink mare's milk and eat barbecue every day, in fact, this is the treatment of the nobility, the nomads live more difficult than the people of the Central Plains, they are not only grazing, occasionally will also plant some grains with a short cycle and easy to grow, but they do not know how to plant so the harvest is very small.

In order to be fed, they often exchanged animal skins, medicinal herbs and other things for food with the border people, and sometimes rode horses and masked to act as marauders.

The emperors of such small forces plundering the dynasties would not pay too much attention to them, because they simply had no way to put an end to such a thing. However, in peacetime, there will rarely be a large-scale invasion and plundering of grain, unless there is a natural disaster, so every time there is a natural disaster such as the Great Cold, Li Er not only has to worry about the famine of the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also worries that the countries of the Western Regions will go south to plunder the people.

It's not easy to be an emperor sometimes, especially if you want to be a ruler through the ages, even harder than ordinary people.

Therefore, Wang Xiang felt that it was much happier to be an idle marquis who didn't care about things than to be an emperor, and it would be better if he didn't need to send an envoy to Gaochang.

Ju Yiya ran around the table and wanted to taste every dish, and the etiquette smiled slightly and stepped forward to tell them how to turn the round table to make it easier to pick up their favorite dishes, Ju Yiya didn't feel embarrassed, the children of the grassland are bold and generous.

It's just that when she finished eating and watched the play and was ready to check out, her face didn't look good.

"Akinu, my purse is gone!"

Hearing Ju Yiya's exclamation, Aqinu hurriedly touched his waist, and his face changed: "Princess, my money bag is gone!" It must have been stolen when I was watching a show downstairs just now! ”

In fact, Ju Yiya and Aqinu are not bad, if they usually don't let people succeed, it's just the first time they saw a stage performance, and the two of them were too engrossed to watch it, so they didn't notice that the money bag was stolen. The money bag was full of gold bills and all kinds of precious stones, so they didn't care when they ordered food before.

Ju Yiya and Aqinu both spoke in the Western Regions language, and they couldn't understand the etiquette, but they also knew that it was not a good thing to look at their faces and movements, so they called another etiquette and whispered two sentences.

"Are you two satisfied with the food and service of our Dengxian Tower?"

Looking at the smiling expression of the etiquette, Akinu hurriedly said, "Very satisfied, very satisfied." ”

Seeing that the etiquette still looked at himself with a smile, Aqinu blushed and asked, "I don't know if I can ...... first." Credit. ”

When she asked this, it was not only Aqinu, but even Ju Yiya felt embarrassed, before eating, they were reminded of the price of the play, and she didn't care that she would not be less money, but the play was all ordered, and most of the dishes on the menu were ordered, but in the end, there was no money to pay, not to mention that she was a princess, even ordinary people would be embarrassed.

Seeing that Lili's smile stiffened, Akinu hurriedly explained: "Our money bag has been stolen, and we will definitely pay it back in the future." ”

Ju Yiya also said in blunt Chinese: "Yes, we will also compensate." ”

The etiquette is difficult: "Don't be embarrassed for me, we have never said on credit in the Immortal Tower, and besides, it is the first time for the two of us to eat in the Immortal Tower, and the price is not a small amount......

Ju Yiya pointed to the table and said urgently: "Dishes, I haven't eaten a lot." ”

Originally, the etiquette was polite to the two of them, after all, she wasn't sure if they had come to eat and drink for nothing or if they had really been stolen, but when she heard Ju Yiya's words, she was immediately unhappy.

The rules of this restaurant, whether you eat or not, as long as you order the food, and there is no problem with the food, then you have to pay, what she said obviously means that the food should not be so much money if you don't finish eating, which is quite unreasonable.

Etiquette said: "It's not right for the girl to say that, we can't sell the dishes that the two of you have ordered to others, besides, I just asked the two, you all said that you are very satisfied with the wine and food and service of our Dengxian Tower, and now it seems inappropriate to say such things." ”

Ju Yiya was still arguing, but Aqinu quietly pulled her shirt and apologized to the etiquette: "I'm sorry, our young lady is coming to the Central Plains for the first time, but our money bag was really stolen, just when we watched the show downstairs just now, but we will definitely pay it back, please believe us." ”

Wang Xiang was talking to Ning Xiang and them in a private room on the second floor, and suddenly a polite person came in and told him that there were guests on the third floor who had no money to pay the bill after eating.

Dengxian Tower has been open for so long and has never encountered a bully meal, Wang Xiang was a little curious when he heard this, the people who can eat on the third floor are generally not ordinary people, how can this kind of thing happen.

After saying a word to Ning Xiang, they went upstairs with the etiquette.

As soon as I went up to the third floor, I heard a woman's voice say urgently: "Miss, this knife ......."

Then a crisp voice quickly said something he didn't understand, and before he could enter the door, two Miaoman figures walked out of the door angrily, and the woman with a face towel glared at him fiercely when she saw Wang Xiang.

Ju Yiya recognized Wang Xiang as the owner of the restaurant.

Inexplicably glared at, it seemed that she was still a beautiful woman from the Western Regions, Wang Xiang wondered in his heart, and when he saw a table full of dishes after entering the door, he was even more surprised, the last time Li Xiaogong came here to feast on friends, he didn't order so many dishes.

The etiquette who was waiting here saw Wang Xiang come in and hurriedly told him what had just happened, and after speaking, he pointed to a golden knife on the table and said, "This is the knife that the two guests pressed here." ”
