Chapter 148: Panda Spirit Animal (21)
At this time, the sky has already darkened, and the last rays of sunset on the horizon have disappeared into the vast forest sea, probably almost the end of the month, and the moon phase also shows the posture of the last quarter moon, only a round in the sky, not as bright as the previous days.
Although the moonlight was dim, the starry sky was extraordinarily bright, and when the moon was too bright, her light would instead shine in the entire sky, and the light of the stars was forced to hide, and now that the moonlight was darkened, the beautiful starlight could be seen again.
The night was completely shrouded in the sky, and the sea of streams and bamboos became dark and quiet, but the Bizhuju was brightly lit and lively, with torches around the entire wall, and lights around the tower.
When it was time for dinner, the guards of the entire courtyard began to eat in order, and although they were not entitled to enjoy the feast set up by their masters, their food was not much worse.
The building on the west side of the wall is the canteen of these guarded people, which serves all kinds of dishes from all over the world in addition to alcohol. Although they are the family members of Bizhu Juli, they also have to pay for eating here, but the food is not expensive, and it is reasonable.
The reason why they do not provide alcohol is because they are afraid of drinking and making mistakes, and the reason why they collect money for eating is because they are afraid that they will waste food by only eating and not working.
At the beginning, it didn't cost money to eat here, but because they didn't spend money and didn't feel distressed, these families were particularly extravagant and wasteful when eating, and the food in the bowls and plates was a mess.
Lu Tingsheng is the leader of the Bright Alliance, and at the same time he is a businessman, of course he can't stand it in the face of such a wasteful scene, so he thought of a clever plan, that is, to eat and collect money.
Now that they have put away the money for their meals, these families have become cautious when ordering, and the dishes in the bowls and plates can be eaten cleanly, and there are no leftovers.
Inside the hall on the first floor of the Bizhuju Tower.
There is a large golden chair in the innermost part of the hall, which is very spacious enough to lie down on it, and I don't know if this seat is made of pure gold or a layer of gold, if it is really made of pure gold, it will take at least about two tons of gold. Although there are many uncertainties, one thing is certain, and that is that this seat is Lu Tingsheng's special seat, because he himself is sitting on it.
Since he came down from the seventh floor of Bizhuju, he has been sitting here and waiting for a long time, maybe everyone thinks that the person who is waiting in a hurry mentioned above is him, but it is not.
Lu Tingsheng is a literati scholar, although he has a lot of affairs every day, but he will never be in a hurry because of this little thing, if he is an impetuous, impatient and uncontrollable person, it is impossible to manage such a large-scale gang, you must know that a place of this scale like Bizhuju has dozens of places under the hands of their Bright Alliance.
Although he was just sitting on the golden chair, his head was not idle, and while he was waiting for someone to wait for someone now, he was dealing with a lot of official business in his mind, so he was not in a hurry, but was using his time very efficiently.
Since even the head of the family is not in a hurry, who is the person who is in a hurry?
The furnishings of this hall are like the emperor's court, and there are many exquisite agarwood tables on both sides of the hall, and the four tables placed near Lu Tingsheng are reserved for Su Du and his party. Further back, there were many of the same tables, and there were some of the big leaders of the guards, almost six of them, and they were qualified to participate in such a feast, so they took their seats early.
Speaking of which, you may have guessed who this anxious person is, you guessed correctly, it is the two brothers Huda and Huer mentioned earlier!
Bizhuju has never had a guest, and this is the first time for Su Du and his party. Lu Tingsheng rarely comes to Bizhuju for vacation, and only comes here in the middle of summer. The second floor of the Bizhuju Tower is a kitchen dedicated to Lu Tingsheng's cooking, and as the leader of the Bright Alliance, he has to be very careful in his diet and daily life, so food safety has naturally become the top priority. The ingredients brought in here are strictly tested through multiple processes, and there are even six guards standing in the corridor around the kitchen to prevent anyone from poisoning them.
The two Hu brothers usually eat in the cafeteria on the wall, although the food there is quite good, but it is only for ordinary people. They rarely have the opportunity to attend a feast like this, knowing that the kitchen of the head of the house is much better than theirs.
They can only eat a spicy crayfish at most, but they can eat a real lobster at the head of the house, and their beef tastes bland, while the beef here is the best snowflake meat, and they eat small, sour and seedy grapes, while the head of the house here is a big, sweet and delicious raisin, of course, they want to eat here more.
Although they are all big leaders, they don't know the identity of Lu Tingsheng as the leader of the Bright Alliance, they only know that Lu Tingsheng is the master of this Bizhuju, so they call Lu Tingsheng the head of the family instead of the alliance leader.
Since the main family has a banquet, of course a few of their big leaders have sat down early, from dusk to now, they have been waiting for almost an hour, and of course they can't open the banquet if the guests don't come, so they can only sit here and drink tea, although there are many fresh and delicious fruits on the table, but they don't care about it, because they still have to keep their stomachs to eat meat.
The two brothers Huda and Hu Er are both martial arts practitioners, and they practice qigong in the Qingshan Martial Arts Hall, and the amount of food is naturally much larger than that of ordinary people.
Hu Er couldn't bear it anymore, so he complained to the tiger on the side: "Big brother, what is the origin of those guys, they actually made us wait so well!"
Huda put down the teacup and said, "That's it, I've been to the toilet several times after drinking tea, although there are some fruits here, but if we eat these things, we won't have the stomach to eat the good meat and vegetables that we will wait for!"
Hu Da said, looked at the rock sugar big pear on the table, and couldn't help but drool.
Obviously, there is a lot of food on the table, but in order to wait for more valuable meat dishes, they are reluctant to eat a bite now, for fear that they will be full of fruits now, and they will not be able to eat them when the valuable dishes come up, and they don't know if they are careful or stingy, they themselves are reluctant to eat, but they blame the sin of hunger on the heads of Su Du and his party.
