Li Deshang, who was originally testing, heard Jason say "Brother Gou Sheng", a smile immediately appeared on his face, and the wrinkles on his face were wrinkled, like a chrysanthemum.
Li Deshang is an inconspicuous member of the Li family's branch in the northern capital. He has become one of the chief officials of the "Mountain City". His abilities are unquestionable, and his ability to recognize people is far superior to others.
He could hear the truth in Jason's words.
That's a complete good feeling.
'My brother Mu seems to like eating?'
‘Then I’ll have to invite you several times in the future.’
'Some delicacies from the mountains and seas sent by others must also be brought here.'
Li Deshang was thinking in his heart.
As one of the officials in charge of the ‘Mountain City’, there is an endless stream of people entering the government office through the small gate to give gifts.
In addition to money, there are also a lot of rare items.
Naturally, there are also delicacies from mountains and seas.
As for what Jason likes to eat?
Li Deshang was really overjoyed.
He was once worried that Jason would not be interested in anything other than the 'secret medicine'.
The ‘secret medicine’ is rare, and Li Deshang knows it.
And now I have another preference, which is really great.
A banquet costs only a few ocean dollars.
Even the best one from ‘Zui Xian Lou’ is only 20-30 yuan.
Even if a warrior has a much larger appetite than ordinary people, how much can he eat even if he eats every day?
'That's great!'
Li Deshang thought and raised his hand to hold Jason.
Li Deshang would not dare to do this before.
But after Jason said, "Brother Gou Sheng," Li Deshang knew that the two sides were getting closer, so he dared.
"Brother Mu, slow down, don't be in a hurry."
After Li Deshang finished speaking, he said to Jia Youcai: "Go to the Zuixian Tower to open a private room for Brother Mu and me, and then let their cook take care of it."
"Yes, sir."
Jia Youcai turned around and ran out with a smile.
For other matters, such as arresting bandits, Jia Youcai failed to catch them, but this kind of thing was really easy to catch.
Li Deshang nodded, turned his head and looked at Jason who was standing there waiting.
Jason did not return to his seat, but stood there waiting.
'Brother Mu is a real eater!'
Li Deshang sighed.
Then, I felt even more happy in my heart.
He thought he had found a way to get closer to Jason more quickly.
Jason and Li Deshang were in front of the group.
Beanbao was a little behind Jason.
Jia Youcai and others ran to the door of Zuixian Tower early and waited in front of the door with the boss of Zuixian Tower.
"Master Li's presence is really a blessing!"
The boss of Zuixianlou is a fat middle-aged man with a big belly, and he looks even more kind when he smiles now.
"This is a family dinner."
"Nothing else is needed."
"Let your cook show his housekeeping skills."
Li Deshang warned.
The business in Zuixianlou was so booming, apart from the food, there were also some rumors in the private room. Li Deshang knew about it, but this kind of thing was not prohibited by order, so he simply turned a blind eye.
However, there are bean bags here today.
Judging from Doubao's position in his brother's heart, this kind of thing should never be done in front of Doubao.
Moreover, I don’t know what my brother’s preferences are.
It wouldn't be pretty if something happened.
So, it’s a family dinner.
"Family dinner?"
"I understand, little one."
The fat boss glanced at Jason and Doubao, and he understood immediately.
However, the fat boss still took another look at Jason.
As a restaurant owner on Wuguan Street, he knew exactly who Jason was.
And he also heard the rumors last night.
'Looking at Li Deshang's appearance, this rumor is most likely true.'
Thinking of this, the fat boss became even more respectful.
He could already think of what Li Deshang could gain from this incident.
I'm afraid it will be a step up.
And Jason?
Li Deshang will also value him more and more.
No matter what, it's good to have a good relationship.
Then, the fat boss led Li Deshang and Jason up to the second floor of Zuixian Building.
After the arrangements were made, he turned around, closed the door and walked out.
"Brother Mu, how do you feel?"
Li Deshang pointed to the layout of the private room.
When you enter the elegant room, you pass through a bead curtain and it is divided into left and right, separated by a screen decorated with blessings, fortune and longevity.
On the left is the Round Table of the Eight Immortals. A long lantern hangs down from the ceiling. The lantern is painted with bamboo plums. At the four corners are candles sitting on the ground, covered with white gauze. The whole room is bright and bright.
On the other side of the screen are the incense burner, piano stand and step bed.
During meals, incense is burned in the incense burner and the harp is played on the harp stand.
It is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment.
However, to Jason, such an arrangement does not matter, as long as the food is delicious.
"good."
Therefore, Jason replied casually.
Doubao looked at the arrangement carefully.
She had seen similar arrangements before.
She liked that incense burner very much. If some poisonous smoke was mixed into the incense, no one would notice it.
Unfortunately, the incense burner was broken by bandits.
"What do you think, Beanbag Girl?"
Li Deshang looked at Doubao again.
Bean bags are special in Jason's heart, so they naturally need to be treated with caution.
Li Deshang does not make some basic mistakes.
"Um."
Doubao nodded slightly and did not make any remarks.
Like is like.
But with the owner here, she didn't need to make a statement.
Besides, the owner doesn't care about this.
She couldn't show that she cared, and couldn't lose the face of the restaurant owner for no reason. Therefore, Doubao said in a calm and reminding tone the next moment: "My restaurant's staple food is huge, Mr. Li is very considerate."
"Hahaha."
"I understand."
"How can a warrior's appetite be comparable to that of ordinary people?"
"Don't worry, Brother Yu is not someone who has never seen the world."
Li Deshang spoke with certainty.
Then, only twenty minutes later, this man who had previously claimed to have seen the world sat there dumbfounded.
Why is a banquet for ten people with solid materials and exquisite cooking skills... gone?
There was a big elbow in front of me just now.
He had just picked up the chopsticks, and then a gust of wind blew by, and his elbow was gone.
There are no bones left!
what happens?
Li Deshang stiffly twisted his neck and looked at Jason, who was making crunching sounds from his mouth.
Then, he looked at Doubao who was looking at him with a faint smile.
"cough."
"As a warrior, it's normal."
"Brother Mu, I have seen this before."
With these words, Li Deshang shouted to Jia Youcai outside the door: "One more table."
The banquet is served again.
The wind howled inside the house.
The plate is clean.
Li Deshang was holding his chopsticks and was about to take a bite of shredded bamboo shoots. Before the chopsticks touched the shredded bamboo shoots, the entire plate was empty and even cleaner than it had been washed.
"This, this?"
"cough."
"As a warrior, it's normal."
Li Deshang said again.
Then, another banquet table came.
Then--
"cough."
"As a warrior, it's normal."
…
Such words kept ringing in the private room.
In the end, it was all that was left.
"Normal, normal."
Mutterings like this.
This one of the chief officials of the 'Mountain City' was a little frightened.
However, it cannot be expressed.
He could only keep mumbling in his heart.
'I, Li Deshang, was born in the Li family of Beidu, and I am well-informed.'
Keep talking.
Constant reminder.
But after repeating it and reminding it, it became.
'Why is it so edible?'
Then, Li Deshang calculated the money carefully, and his heart tightened.
It's already the tenth table.
There are ten tables!
According to the price of Zuixianlou, this is nearly 200 oceans.
200 oceans!
Li Deshang, who came up with this number, began to take a deep breath.
It’s not that you can’t shell out 200 oceans.
His identity meant that he wouldn't care too much about 200 oceans, but Li Deshang couldn't accept 200 oceans for a meal. What's more important: he had previously hoped to get closer to Jason by treating him to dinner.
.
But look at it now?
It is better to seek the way to the ‘secret medicine’.
You must know that "secret medicine" such as "Peiyuan Dan" only costs 100 yuan a piece.
He might as well go directly to Jason with the 'secret medicine'.
Because that way he won't be embarrassed.
Yes, embarrassment.
One of the chief officials of the "mountain city" felt embarrassed.
He doesn't have enough money.
He had more than thirty pieces of ocean in his pocket, and before that he thought it was enough to treat Jason to a meal.
After all, the wallet is so big, who would put hundreds of dollars in it?
But now?
Holding his purse, Li Deshang thought about what to do.
One of the chief officials of his ‘Mountain City’ couldn’t be left to wash dishes, right?
If word spreads, will his face be lost?
As for credit?
He was even more convinced that if he took credit today, he would become the laughing stock of the entire Haizhou Prefecture tomorrow morning.
While Li Deshang was thinking, the fat boss knocked on the door and came in.
The fat boss was sweating all over his forehead.
As soon as I entered the door, I bowed my head to the end.
"Master Li, Master Mu, I'm really sorry, we don't have enough ingredients."
The fat boss said with a wry smile on his face.
The restaurant was running out of ingredients to sell food. This was the first time he had encountered this in so many years of operating a restaurant.
Similarly, it was the first time in his life that he had seen someone as edible as Jason.
How can people be so good at eating?
He even opened the window to see if it was outside.
But no matter what, if the guest is halfway through the meal and the ingredients are gone, it is the fault of his restaurant, and an apology is the real thing.
What's more, Li Deshang is still here.
The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now.
Especially when the current manager is the county magistrate, the fat boss naturally knows what to do.
"Going to the banquet tonight means I am apologizing to Mr. Li and Master Mu, do you think?"
As he said that, the fat boss looked at Li Deshang and Jason.
But deep down in his heart, the fat boss was already bleeding from the bottom of his heart.
Leaving aside the cost, he lost at least 100 oceans.
Although the income from Zuixianlou is good, half a month's work has been wasted.
Li Deshang let out a sigh of relief when he heard the fat boss's words.
He doesn't need to be embarrassed.
Just when Li Deshang was about to nod, Mu Bai licked his lips and said to Doubao: "Go back and get the money and pay the bill."
Eat in a proper manner.
The dining table naturally has table manners.
Jason knew exactly how much he could eat.
Li Deshang may not care about the money, but the boss in front of him certainly does.
Moreover, the food is good.
"I understand, Master."
Hearing Jason's words, Doubao, who had been watching, immediately smiled.
Look, this is the owner of her restaurant.
Never stand strong against weakness.
Even if you take the absolute initiative.
"Brother Mu, wait."
"Girl Beanbag, wait, please don't."
"As agreed, Brother Yu is treating us."
Li Deshang couldn't sit still at this time. He said he was treating him, and then Jason paid the bill. It was no longer a laughing stock, but his face was thrown to the ground and stepped on.
If Jason were really asked to settle the bill, he would hit the wall in shame.
What's more, he is sincerely wooing Jason.
How could something like this happen?
"Jia Youcai, go back to the house to get the money."
Li Deshang said.
"Yes, sir."
Jia Youcai immediately turned around and went downstairs.
The catcher was waiting outside the door just now, and he had some suspicions about his master's embarrassment. However, he was even more surprised by Jason's appetite.
Is this for martial arts training?
As expected, he is poor in literature and rich in martial arts!
Jia Youcai turned around and left.
The fat boss also went out.
Only Jason, Dou Bao, and Li Deshang were left in the private room again.
Without the outsiders, Li Deshang smiled bitterly and handed over to Jason.
"Brother Mu is laughing at the joke. It wasn't that Brother Yu wanted to take advantage just now. It's because Brother Yu didn't bring enough money. Besides, you can't bring hundreds of oceans with you when you go out to sleep, right?"
"I can't even put it in my purse. I have to use a box to put it in."
"Just think about it, Brother Yu is walking in front, and the young man behind is holding a money box. What he knows is that I, Li Deshang, am afraid that I don't have enough money. What I don't know is that he thinks I am going to collect protection money."
Be honest with warriors.
He already knew this.
The more embarrassing it is, the more honest you have to be.
Otherwise you will only make a mistake for yourself.
This was what the elder in the clan told him before he left.
This is what Li Deshang is doing now.
He looked at Jason and raised his hand again.
"Brother Mu, this time it doesn't count."
"After that, I'll treat Brother Mu to one...no, three meals."
"Please treat Brother Mu three more times to make amends."
After Li Deshang finished speaking, he looked at Jason candidly.
Immediately, Jason chose to forgive.
He saw Li Deshang's sincerity.
"It's okay, brother Gou Sheng."
Jason smiled and shook his head.
Just when he wanted to continue talking, his nose twitched involuntarily.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Jason's face.
It was an accident that Li Deshang was able to treat us again.
After all, people who have treated him to a meal will basically not do it a second time.
And now, I can actually invite you three more times.
Full of sincerity!
What's more, there is an 'unexpected surprise' delivered to your door.
Tea, dried fruits, and after Jia Youcai returned the money, Jason and his party went downstairs.
"I'm really sorry."
"I'm so sorry."
The fat boss kept apologizing.
Jason's eyes were looking at the door of Zuixiang Building.
There was a four-wheeled ebon carriage parked there. When they went downstairs and reached the hall, the driver of the carriage shook his whip.
Snap!
The carriage started immediately.
Then--
Two rows of ten musketeers hiding behind were revealed.
Under the night, the dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at Jason and Li Deshang at the door of the restaurant.
