" Yo, little beggar is about to order. What kind of big fish and meat do you want to eat?" The waiter held his head high and swaggered to the front of the little beggar as if he looked down on him. In his opinion, big fish and big meat were simply delicious in the world for beggars.
This time, the little beggar ignored the waiter's expression and said," What's so good about big fish and big meat? Let's eat fruits first." Hey, waiter, four dried fruits, four fresh fruits, two salty and sour fruits, and four candied fruits.”
The waiter was shocked by the little beggar's order. He didn't expect the little beggar to have some skills. He sneered and said,"What kind of candied fruit do you want?”
The little beggar continued," I don't think a hotel in a small town like yours can produce anything good. Let's do it this way. The four dried fruits are lychee, longan, steamed dates, and gingko. Fresh fruits, fresh as you pick them. Salty and sour, I want fragrant cherries and ginger plum blossoms. I wonder if I can buy them here? Candied fruit? Rose Kumquats, Fragrant Medicinal Grapes| Grape, sugar peach, pear meat, good husband.”
The waiter was getting more and more surprised-he didn't expect a beggar to be so good at this, and Lin Yi, the god of wealth, was beside him as well. He immediately memorized all the dishes the beggar listed.
Seeing the waiter's serious face, the beggar blinked at Lin Yi proudly."There are no fresh fish and prawns here. Hmm, just eight so-so dishes.”
Then what dishes do the two uncles want to eat with wine?" The waiter swept away the contempt from before and asked very respectfully. This was a big order. If he messed up the shopkeeper, he would kill him.
The little beggar shook his head and looked around. He pretended to be disappointed and said,"Sigh, it's impossible not to make things clear. The eight dishes were quail, fried duck feet, chicken tongue soup, deer belly Jiang Yao, mandarin duck fried beef tendons, chrysanthemum rabbit shreds, fried roe legs, ginger vinegar gold and silver hoof. I'll only choose what you can cook here. We'll skip the expensive dishes.”
When the waiter at the side heard the little beggar's dishes, his mouth was wide open, almost unable to close it. He carefully calculated the dishes he had memorized and said,"The price of these eight dishes is not small. Just the duck feet and chicken tongue soup alone would require dozens of chickens and ducks.”
The beggar threw the gold that Lin Yi had left on the table into the waiter's hand and said disdainfully,"Are you blind?" With this gold, even if I eat ten meals, I'll still have some money left."
After being provoked by the little beggar, the waiter couldn't lose his temper. After all, the gold on the table was enough to buy this restaurant. After responding slightly, he ran all the way downstairs and instructed the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
Lin Yi couldn't help but smile as he looked at the beggar's face. His eyes glanced at the beggar's throat and a wicked smile appeared on his face. He knew who the beggar was.
" You condescending fellow." The beggar pursed his lips and turned to Lin Yi with a smile,"You're not some young master from some big family, are you? You're so rich and your martial arts are so good. Tell me, I'll keep it a secret for you."
"Is that so? I think a little girl like you must have snuck out of your house." Lin Yi didn't answer the question as he smiled at the beggar.
The little beggar's expression changed and he asked warily,"How did you know I'm a girl?" Her originally casual sitting posture also shifted back slightly, as if Lin Yi was the only one who had the slightest intention to escape.
Lin Yi smiled, ignoring the beggar's guard. He put away the fan with a 'pa' sound,"Little girl, take a closer look at the difference between our throats. You'll know."
The beggar touched her neck and looked at Lin Yi. It was her Adam's apple. When she was trying to avoid the guards, the thing around her neck was gone. From Lin Yi's angle, he could clearly see that the beggar's face was covered in black ash, but her neck was as white as snow.
I see. I didn't expect you to find out." The little beggar sat back down on the stool calmly. His previous vigilance was gone. Instead, he smiled and said," Since you treated me to a meal, let me introduce myself. My name is Huang Rong. What about you?"”
The beggar's voice wasn't as low as before, it was as clear as a silver bell, filled with the joy of youth. Lin Yi heard the name Huang Rong, and he remembered it, but he didn't think too much about it. He didn't care too much and introduced himself,"I'm Lin Yi, Shuangmulin, elegant Yi."
The waiter had already brought the dried fruits and candied fruits over, as if he was afraid that the dishes wouldn't be able to be placed properly. He moved two big tables and put them together. Lin Yi had tasted all the delicacies in the universe in his previous life, but ever since he was brought into the tomb by Lin Chaoying, he hadn't tasted these dishes. He started to taste them slowly.
Huang Rong was very curious when she heard that Lin Yi came from Mount Zhongnan and had traveled to the Western Regions. She asked a lot of questions, and Lin Yi answered all of them. Although he didn't tell her what happened in the ancient tomb, he told her about how he used to go to Chongyang Palace to play with the priests of the God Blessing Sect when he had nothing to do. For example, he smeared chili powder in the underwear of the priests, threw a snake or two in when they were bathing, and so on. Huang Rong laughed like a cuckoo from time to time.
About an hour later, the waiter served Huang Rong's orders one by one, filling up all three tables. Lin Yi was very curious and normal, but Huang Rong was thinking about it with a troubled look. Lin Yi heard Huang Rong say that he was smart and immediately gave her a logic and math problem. He still couldn't figure it out until now. In the end, Lin Yi had no choice but to say the answer, Huang Rong's face lit up as she looked at Lin Yi with sparkling stars in her eyes.
The waiter at the side looked at the two of them and thought to himself,"Look at you being taken advantage of by this little beggar. I'll see if you can still smile when you pay the bill later."
When the two of them felt full, there was still more than half of the food left on the table. Lin Yi ignored the bill and threw out a gold ingot. Under the stunned gazes of the shopkeeper and waiter, he walked out of the restaurant with Huang Rong.
A gust of cold wind blew past the restaurant, and Huang Rong couldn't help but shrink her shoulders."Thank you for today, I still have something to do. I'll be leaving first."
Just as Huang Rong was about to turn around and leave, Lin Yi took out a few gold ingots and placed them in Huang Rong's hands. He smiled lightly and said,"Take this money. Don't steal from others 'money bags again. You'll be in trouble if you accidentally slip. Oh right, it's getting cold. Remember to buy some clothes. Don't catch a cold."
Lin Yi's words of concern made Huang Rong freeze on the spot. She looked at the gold in her hand, her eyes flashing with lightning as she said in a trembling voice,"Why do you care about me like this? I'm not even your person."
This doesn't seem to need a reason, little sister." Lin Yi smiled,"Maybe I saw my past in you. Alright, little sister, since you have something to do, I'll leave first. Remember to take care of yourself."
Lin Yi waved his hand and walked away, leaving Huang Rong standing there, staring at Lin Yi's back. She mumbled something and wiped the tears from her eyes, running towards the best silk shop in Zhang Jiakou.
