After hearing Bo Lun's request, there was a hint of hesitation in the voice of the personal butler.
"Master Bo Lun, the 'Food and Wine Pavilion' is not for sale."
"Then offer a high price!"
"Until they can't refuse!"
Bo Lun said calmly.
Of course he knew that the 'Food and Wine Pavilion' claimed to be not for sale, but what he knew better was that the so-called not for sale was only because the bidder had not paid the price.
When the price is in place, all "not for sale" items will become normal "trading items".
In other words, nothing in the world is without price.
But, you need to know how to bid.
This is also recorded in his ancestor's notes.
Bo Lun thinks it makes sense.
Just like this moment.
He stood at the door of Tonio's restaurant, looking at the darkness in the distance. The young man was sure that under the cover of darkness, there would be quite a few "mysterious people" gathered there.
Why?
It's simple, he is treating Jason to dinner.
‘Shipbreaker’ Jason is in the restaurant behind him.
And him?
I have been rejected and teased by them more than once.
What would happen if a clown-like 'little guy' like him sat down with a 'big guy' like the 'Shipbreaker'?
They're worried he's going to do something worrisome.
Hatred?
resentment?
No.
Bo Lun knew very well that these people were not at fault for his previous encounters.
He asked for it.
Therefore, he will not anger these people.
Of course, he was not qualified to anger these people.
However, this does not mean that he does nothing.
Standing upright, Bo Lun raised his right hand, drew a circle from his chin, raised it to the top of his head, and then, with his other hand behind his back, bowed at almost 90°.
This is also one of the ancient rituals.
It represents invitation and thanks.
After doing all this, Puluno turned around and returned to Tonyo's restaurant.
He knows he doesn't need to do much.
The more you do it, the more mistakes you make.
Just need to do a little bit, and the rest?
Let those people do what they want!
The fox pretends to be the tiger's power?
No!
He prefers to call this 'humanity and sophistication'.
Humanity serves as a shield to keep him safe.
The sophistication of the world is his sword, and he kills his enemies for him.
These are also the words left in his ancestor's notes.
Although he doesn't know what his ancestor did, Bo Lun is certain of one thing. His ancestor must be an extremely qualified... no, an extremely excellent businessman.
Although what happened in the end forced this ancestor to live in seclusion here.
But this does not hinder the success of this ancestor.
And him?
Need to replicate the success of his ancestors.
At the same time, he completely buried the name of his ancestor in his heart.
He did not know where his ancestors' enemies were.
It's even less clear how powerful the opponent is.
Before he became truly powerful.
Silence and secrecy must go hand in hand.
As for growing up?
Secrecy must still be observed throughout life.
Silence requires a slight change.
But that is far, far away, so far away that the pulsator is just an idea and will not be considered at all.
Jingle bell bell!
The sound of wind chimes reached my ears, and Pulse walked into the restaurant.
He once again saw Jason, who was full of love for food, and his friend Emily, who slumped in a chair after eating too much.
"Pulsator, how is it?"
Emily asked breathlessly.
Although as a lady, she should control her food intake and stay in shape, but Tonio's food was so delicious that she couldn't hold it back, especially when she saw Jason swallowing the food in big mouths, she felt an unprecedented hunger.
It filled her stomach, and if she wasn't careful, she would look like she was full now.
And, more importantly, she found that she was so happy now!
The feeling of having your stomach filled with food is so refreshing!
She even started to look forward to the supper later.
What will it be?
It shouldn't be too sweet or too oily.
Sweet ones will make you fat.
But if it is not sweet and oily, will the food become unpalatable?
Emily frowned as she thought about it.
"Just wait for the news."
As Bo Lun spoke, he raised his hand and touched the top of Emily's head.
The furry feeling is a bit like touching a lamb whose hair has exploded after the rain.
Po** can probably guess what Emily is thinking.
Emily is not a complicated person.
It is precisely because of this that he and she can become friends.
Friends, complementarity is the best state, isn't it?
After pulling out the chair, Bo Lun sat down and looked at Jason, who was gesturing to Tonio to continue serving the food, and a smile appeared on his face.
Jason was the tastiest of all the people he had ever seen.
This is not bad news for him.
At least this proves that Jason really likes to eat.
Even if it is disguised, with such a stomach, I am afraid that I am trapped in it and cannot extricate myself.
When the wave wheel watched Jason start to eat the food brought by Tonio again, he had been able to hold back and restrain his wave wheel because of the plan in his heart, and he could not help but secrete saliva.
Subconsciously, Bo Lun looked at his dinner plate.
There is a steak inside.
Just one steak.
The drink is water.
The steak was already cold at this moment, but Bo Lun couldn't help but pick up the knife and fork.
With the help of the fork, the knife cut through the corner of the steak very easily.
laugh!
A burst of hot air suddenly rushed out from the incision.
The rich aroma of meat hit his face and penetrated into Bo Lun's nose.
Bo Lun took a breath involuntarily.
It smells so good!
He looked at the steak on the plate with evaluation.
The appearance looks no different from an ordinary steak, but it is divided into two layers: inner and outer.
The outer layer of meat wraps the inner meat and acts as a thermal insulation.
But when the impeller put the cut steak into his mouth, something unexpected happened——
Crunch!
A crisp sound resounded in the mouth.
That's not the sound that beef should sound like.
Bo Lun looked surprised. He could feel the unique thickness of beef on the tip of his tongue, but Bo Lun was more concerned about the crispiness.
yes……
Potato!
After tasting it carefully, Bo Lun made a judgment.
"The mashed potatoes are fried and made into a meat-like 'shell', which is put on the real steak...well, it's really amazing."
Pulsator will never be stingy with his praise.
Because, it's worth it.
You can not only appear generous, but also gain a certain favor from the person being praised.
What's more, the dishes in front of you are really worthy of praise.
At the very least, he couldn't imagine how to make mashed potatoes look like beef, and mask its own taste to the point where it would be impossible to tell the difference without tasting it carefully.
besides……
Has he been seen through again?
Although he didn't expect to be able to hide it from these 'mysterious people', the feeling of being seen through at a glance and having something on his mind really made him a little frustrated!
Thinking about it, Bo Lun couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Then, the young man simply concentrated on the delicious food.
Now that you have been completely seen through, there is no need to pretend anymore.
This is an insult to him and to the people around him.
Putting down the cover-up, she grabbed her collar, rolled up her sleeves, and started enjoying her dinner.
"Tonio, can you give me a piece of this special steak?"
Jason looked at the appearance of the pulsator and couldn't help but said to Tonio.
"certainly."
Tonio replied with a smile.
Only five minutes later, a special steak was brought out and placed in front of Jason.
"I recommend letting it cool before eating so you can better appreciate the taste."
"I cooked the mashed potatoes in beef broth for more than 10 hours. After thoroughly letting the beef flavor blend into it, I made the outer 'shell'. The 'shell' of this dish is far more exciting than the inside."
"Potatoes turned into beef."
“Beef or beef.”
"And when the two are together, they are indistinguishable from each other and have the same taste."
Tonio explained.
But when the words fell, Tonio raised the corner of his mouth towards the wave wheel.
That's a kind smile.
And the words just now?
Naturally, it is a kind reminder.
Bo Lun, who was quite smart, understood what the chef meant almost immediately.
Let it cool, which means calmness.
beef?
It should represent the ‘mysterious side’.
The potato represents him who has not come into contact with the 'mysterious side'.
The last sentence reminded him that the two could live in the same world without distinguishing each other, precisely because of the 'tolerance' of ordinary people like 'him'.
The ‘mysterious side’ is based on ordinary people.
Of course, it may also mean that the 'mysterious side' will eventually accept him and ask him not to be anxious or do anything out of the ordinary.
As for why Tonio used this dish to ‘hint’ him?
Apart from the "mysterious people" outside, Bo Lun can't think of anyone else.
You know, Tonio’s restaurant is also on the ‘Street of Memories’!
Snap, snap.
"Chef Tonio, your cooking skills are far better than I imagined."
Bo Lun praised sincerely.
"My cooking skills have also been honed day after day. When you have a goal, you don't need to give up in a hurry. The more you persist, the different results will come."
This time Tonio's words were no longer a hint, but a clear statement.
Pulsator responded with a smile.
No words, just a smile.
Tonio looked at such a smile and sighed slightly in his heart.
Decline politely?
Without any words, it is the clearest answer.
Those guys are probably in big trouble!
Tonio looked at Jason.
Finally, he turned and returned to the kitchen.
He is a chef, and being able to do this is already the ultimate.
More?
The food may have gone bad.
Puluno saw Tonio's last glance. He picked up the water with a calm face and took a sip.
angry?
No.
He has no identity that people 'care about'.
Isn't it normal to have such a situation?
Bo Lun told himself from the bottom of his heart.
However, his hand holding the water glass still trembled a little.
That's how it is sometimes.
I know all this, but I just can't control it.
The impeller is still young enough.
And the unique character of young people makes him know that he shouldn't give in, but he just can't control it.
Emily, who was slumped in the chair, stood up and put her hand on the other hand of the wave wheel, with worry in her eyes.
"It's fine."
Bo Lun answered with a smile.
"It's going to be okay."
"When you are feared by a group of people whose strength far exceeds yours, guess what will happen?"
Picking up the special steak, Jason swallowed it in one gulp and said while chewing.
The other party treated him to so much food.
Although he hasn't fully understood the ins and outs of the matter, Jason already had a rough guess based on what happened that day, and Tonio's words just now confirmed his guess.
The wave wheel in front of me should not have given up on learning the knowledge of the 'mysterious side'.
However, it was not successful.
Instead, I encountered obstacles at every turn during this period.
Then, he appeared.
Seeing him appear, Bo Lun planned to make a desperate move.
Then, it became the current situation.
Jason knew what the wave wheel wanted to do.
However, Jason thought he should remind the other party.
Otherwise, he cannot guarantee what will happen to the other party after he 'really leaves'.
There are real warriors like old instructors in the 'mysterious side', but most of them are mysterious people.
But Pulsator turned a blind eye. The young man looked directly at the tall Jason in front of him. After thinking for a while, he said: "I can roughly think of it."
Then, there was silence.
The impeller was silent again.
No help asked.
There was no request for advice.
This made Emily very anxious.
At that moment, the girl couldn't help but wanted to speak, but was stopped by the wave wheel.
"Then, what are you going to do?"
Jason asked.
"Two roads."
"Resist and die."
"Obey and die."
Bo Lun answered honestly.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Jason looked at the pulsator curiously.
“Does fear work?”
"I don't mind fear if it can be useful and get me out of the situation I'm in."
"But it's no use."
"It's better to deal with it calmly."
Bo Lun smiled casually.
"Which path are you going to choose?"
Jason continued to ask.
"Resist!"
Bo Lun said without hesitation.
"You could be miserable."
Jason reminded.
This time, Bo Lun did not answer immediately, but sat up straight.
The young man looked at Jason, his eyes full of seriousness, and his words were more firm than ever before——
“Better than mediocre!”
Jason looked into the young man's eyes.
He often saw that kind of firm gaze.
This is what he looks like when he makes a certain decision.
"Someone said that ordinary is true, ordinary is blessing."
Jason smiled and said.
"Those who have said this have seen real mountains, big rivers, grasslands, the sky, and the violent storms when the waves roll in the sea!"
"Such a person has the qualifications to say such things."
"And I didn't!"
"I was just floating in a small puddle, but I saw the 'magnificent sea' again. Under such a premise, I couldn't calmly comfort myself like other people: ordinary is true, ordinary is blessing."
Bo Lun said word for word.
"Not willing?"
Jason asked.
"Well, I'm not willing to give in."
Bo Lun nodded.
"It's great to be young."
Jason sighed, and then, after a pause, Jason suddenly asked: "Do you know why the ugly duckling can turn into a swan?"
Such a question made Emily, who was sitting aside without any sense of participation, straighten up immediately.
It’s ‘you’!
Not 'you'!
Naturally including her!
The girls, who had been waiting for a long time, thought this was an opportunity for Jason to teach them.
As long as you answer correctly, you will have a chance!
Therefore, the girl spoke before the wave wheel.
“Because it’s hard enough!”
The girl said confidently.
Bo Lun shook his head.
"No, it's because it is a swan itself!"
The young man answered.
"Yes, because it is a swan itself!"
Jason said, throwing the 'Livia Notes' he translated to the other party.
Livia was looking for someone who could pass on the 'Glory of Silver', and he did not give specific requirements, but he thought the young man in front of him was good.
It's definitely not because the other party invited him to dinner.
It just feels good.
The wave wheel that caught the notebook was stunned.
He briefly glanced at the contents of the notes, and his whole body trembled.
This notebook is what he has been pursuing but cannot get!
Now!
It just appeared in his hands.
The unreal feeling made Bo Lun completely lose his composure.
So much so that he didn't even see Jason walking towards the door.
Jason stopped when he reached the door, turned his head to look at the pulsator, and said directly.
"Didn't we agree on a midnight snack?"
"Are you going to default on your debt?"
Bo Lun quickly came back to his senses, immediately shook his head, stood up with a smile and said -
"Of course not."
"Even if I spend everything I have, I will treat you to a supper."
