Chapter Seventy-Eight: Unheard of
Before lunch, Lu Chengcheng had already returned to Duanwang's mansion, and she dined with the sullen Duanwang.
Lu Chengcheng said with relief while serving the vegetables for Duanwang: "I think that tiger is just a coincidence, I heard that there have long been rumors of tigers harming people in Yinling, and several members of the Orion family have died in the tiger's mouth. β
Zhou Sheng was surprised: "So miserable? Orion and Tiger are still hungry for food, and you and I have nothing to eatββ"
"Stop!" Lu Chengcheng pressed his finger on his lips and said, "You saint has suffered a lot from your heart, do you know how much you have suffered? Don't think about it, try this dish. β
Today's dinner table is mostly set up with the special delicacies of Tan County, and Duanwang was a little curious about these dishes halfway through eating, so he called the cook and asked, "What are these dishes?"
The chef of the palace was brought from Jingshi, and he came to Tan County to learn a few famous dishes of Tan County, and he just showed his hand today. He bowed down and said, "Back to the prince, this is a sprout with sauce, vegetarian star anise, and silver carp soup, all of which can only be eaten in Tan County." β
Zhou Sheng looked at the dishes on the table, pointed to one of the plates of fried chicken and said, "This is not bad, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, why haven't you made it before?"
When the cook saw it, he was stunned, and now he even sweated down, he knelt directly on the ground and said, "Lord Wang, this dish is not small, why are there foreign dishes on the table!"
"Huh?" Zhou Sheng was also stunned, a dish appeared on the table that the cook didn't know, could it be that someone wanted to poison himself?
"Ahem, I brought this dish back and it's called 'Kung Fu Fried Chicken'. Lu Chengcheng looked at the master and servant in front of him and felt a little funny, she smiled and said: "I came back and passed by Yuetan Fang, and saw a long queue in front of a restaurant called 'True Kung Fu', so I asked Mama Lan to help me buy some back." β
Zhou Sheng is the most sensitive to the livelihood of the people, and he asked curiously: "There is a queue in front of the restaurant, and you can still bring things back to eat, and the name of 'real kung fu' is also very peculiar." Hey, concubine, you didn't have to wait in line to buy this food, did you? β
Lu Chengcheng glanced at the cook who was kneeling on the ground and said to him, "You go down first, there's nothing wrong here." Today's meal is very good, let's find Steward Yang to receive the reward. β
The cook retired. Lu Chengcheng said to King Duan: "How can I line up? I just said that people have high and low, and they are all fate." β
Zhou Sheng stiffened his face and said unhappily: "Didn't you drive the other guests away, or show your identity as a nobleman to cut the queue?" No one dared to stop him anyway. β
Lu Chengcheng covered his lips with his palm and sneered: "Your princess is also a knowledgeable person, how could she do that?"
Zhou Sheng said: "Then how did you buy fried chicken without queuing?"
"Because the 'real kung fu' guy - no, Mama Lan said that the guys in that shop are called waiters - the waiter saw that Mama Lan was dressed extraordinarily, so he recommended her to apply for a card, or a high-level 'big chicken and big profit' membership card. With this card, you can enjoy the special treatment of no waiting for dine-in and no queue for take-out. β
Zhou Sheng asked with a confused face: "What is a card?"
Lu Chengcheng walked inside, asked Mama Lan for the card, handed it to King Duan, and explained, "Oh, that's it." β
"Why don't others apply for a card?"
"To get this card, you need to pay two taels of silver first!"
"What? Just two taels of silver for this thing?" Zhou Sheng was stunned, two taels of silver was not a small amount.
According to Guan Chang's calculations, the purchasing power of two taels of silver is close to 2,500 yuan in later generations!
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Lu Chengcheng asked, she was born in a scholarly family, and her values were very different from this prince who loved people's livelihood. She didn't know what two taels of silver meant to ordinary people.
"Two taels of silver, how much is this fried chicken?" Zhou Sheng felt that "real kung fu" was simply a big profiteer!
"How did I know that I was so careful! Is there a lot of two taels of silver?" Lu Qingcheng said coquettishly, she really didn't know.
Zhou Sheng estimated: "For ordinary people, two taels of silver may be able to eat for a month." β
Lu Tingcheng said with a smile: "So people have high and low, with this card, in addition to not queuing and not waiting for a seat, it seems that you can also taste the limited-time food launched after the 'real kung fu' first." I don't think it's a loss for two taels of silver. β
Zhou Sheng looked at the palm-sized rectangular wooden card in his hand, and saw that the wooden card read: True Kung Fu Daji Dali Membership Card, with which you can enjoy VIP treatment. There is also a string of ghostly drawings engraved on the back. Zhou Sheng flipped over the wooden sign and saw two large patterns painted on the back, one was a fist, and the other was two staggered chicken legs. There is also a line of words below: True Kung Fu Catering is produced by the honor of the Invincible Sect.
"Invincible Sect?" Zhou Sheng frowned and said, "Isn't it the person from the Invincible Sect who collided with Concubine Ai today?"
Lu Tingcheng nodded and said, "The cause of today's incident is that I was greedy for a while, and I wanted to force myself to buy that 'wide-sleeved Liuxian dress', but now I think about it, it's really naΓ―ve." It's just that the head and deputy head of the Invincible Sect are very young, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are golden boys and girls, so they are even more naΓ―ve, and they really dare to do it. Fortunately, they have no ill intentions, otherwise it would be dangerous today. β
"It's my fault, I should send more good hands to your side!" Zhou Sheng shook Lu Chengcheng's hand and said, "What is the origin of this invincible sect, you have suffered his loss, and you have to eat his chickens?"
Lu Qingcheng said helplessly: "Not only do you have to eat his chicken, but you may also have to sleep in his bed!"
Zhou Sheng was dumbfounded, and he still had to sleep in his bed, why did he feel a little green on his head?
Lu Qingcheng said with a smile: "The Invincible Sect not only opened a 'True Kung Fu', but also opened a 'Livable Flagship Store'. The new furniture that is popular among the rich households in Tan County is out of livability!"
Zhou Sheng suddenly asked embarrassedly, "The Invincible Sect still sells beds?"
Lu Chengcheng said with a wistful expression: "There is everything! Unheard of, unseen! The livable flagship store is known as: There is nothing that cannot be done, only unexpected! Recently, they have launched a new set of model rooms called Genting Immortal Palace, I plan to buy it and move directly to the palace, what is the intention of the prince?"
Zhou Sheng was already a little numb when he heard the words "flagship store", "model room", and Genting Immortal Palace, and subconsciously replied: "It's good if you like it." β
Lu Chengcheng said with some concern: "Naturally, I like it, but it's a little expensive." β
Zhou Sheng waved his hand and said: "The concubine is not more restrained, the imperial brother asked me to come to Tan County is arrogant and lascivious, if not, he will not worry." Besides, a place like Tanxian is not as expensive as Jingshi, how expensive and capable is it?"
Lu Chengcheng had a battle between heaven and man in his mind, and finally decided to tell Duanwang the truth before buying something. She asked tentatively, "Is 1888 taels of silver expensive?"
"What!" Zhou Sheng was so anxious that he slapped the table and stood up, shouting: "This kind of profiteer is really unheard of, unseen! If such an expensive thing can be sold in a set, I'll - I just - "
He thought about it, and finally looked at the slender shadow hanging from the eaves and said, "I'll swallow that watchman alive!"
"Snake!ah!" Lu Chengcheng followed King Duan's gaze, and his face turned pale in an instant. Gah, dizzy!
"Someone, someone!"
