Chapter 307 The Most Tempting Food
After hearing this, the people outside bowed to the seated person and then withdrew.
A short while later, the man returned to the main tent of the city lord's mansion and handed some meat skewers into the tent with a plate.
Then he said, "Lord of the city, a new barbecue shop called 'Old Wang's Barbecue' has opened outside. I've tried this dish, and it's delicious and non-toxic!"
"Oh, barbecue? That's an interesting name."
After saying that, the person inside the tent picked up the slightly cold meat skewer, took a bite, and suddenly began to chew it heartily.
A moment later: "Not bad, it tastes great, but it's a bit cold."
"Reporting to the city lord, when we arrived at the shop, the food tasted much better fresh out of the oven. I wanted to reheat it for you, but I was afraid it would ruin the flavor."
"It's alright, you may leave!"
After the city lord finished speaking, the people outside left the room.
Looking behind the large tent, it suddenly became completely empty, and the city lord was nowhere to be seen.
It was already past noon, and when ordinary people heard that the price would only be half a day and would return to 100 coins per string in the afternoon, the number of people gathered outside the shop immediately decreased by more than half.
This was Chu Chen's deliberate act; he wanted a high price to drive away many people who came to join the fun.
With half a day of free service, the streets of Longcheng are now buzzing with discussion about this new barbecue.
Even more extreme, some have already begun to imitate Chu Chen's actions.
Looking at the sparse crowd, Chu Chen idly grilled his barbecue while occasionally glancing in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
Suddenly, a cold voice came: "Manager Wang, how much for this barbecue?"
After listening, Chu Chen looked up and saw a young man dressed in white standing coldly in front of the barbecue stall, looking at him and saying something.
"Sir, one hundred coins a string of these, no bargaining!"
"Okay, grill me a hundred skewers!"
"What did you say?" Chu Chen looked up after hearing this, staring at the person with a bewildered expression.
Chu Chen thought to himself, "You're going to work me to death."
"One hundred skewers? Could it be that Manager Wang doesn't have enough ingredients?"
"Um, yes... but I'm a bit tired today, so I can only grill twenty skewers at most!"
"Haha, that's quite unique." The young man in white said as he walked over to the shop's table and sat down.
Chu Chen turned around and glanced at him, instantly realizing something was wrong.
Although this person was dressed like a young master, he was petite, had no Adam's apple, and his pectoral muscles were somewhat exaggerated!
Upon seeing this, he instantly understood what was going on!
He thought to himself, "If a woman is disguised as a man, beautiful women will come to my door," but the streets are full of young ladies who can walk freely. Could this person be something strange?
Soon after, Chu Chen took a plate with a bunch of grilled skewers on it and walked straight to the person and sat down.
"Manager Wang, this is............."
"Oh, I find you to be a kind young master and would like to make your acquaintance. If you don't mind, would you like to have some barbecue and drinks together?"
After saying that, Chu Chen took out a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses from behind him.
The young man in white took the goblet and examined it closely: "Manager Wang, is this goblet made of glass?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen said without any surprise, "That's right, it's made of glass. What do you think, young master? Do you like it?"
"Haha, Manager Wang is joking. It's so crystal clear and without any impurities, why wouldn't you like it!"
Chu Chen smiled upon hearing this and poured him a glass of red wine.
Such a beautiful time, in a foreign land, drinking with a beautiful woman—what a delightful thing!
This improved Chu Chen's mood considerably.
After a few drinks, Chu Chen took a deep look at the woman dressed as a man in front of him.
"Young master, it's getting late. Why don't we drink another day?"
"Manager Wang, the weather is so fine today, why wait until another day! With the weather like this today, I'll take over your shop!"
After speaking, the white-robed young man opposite him took out an enormous silver ingot from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
Chu Chen looked at the silver, then at him.
"Young master, with such generosity, which family in Dragon City do you belong to?"
After saying that, he picked up the silver on the table and casually closed the shop door halfway!
He simply sat down: "Since that's the case, then let the young master broaden his horizons today."
After saying that, he picked up the iron pot and, after a few quick movements, added several delicious-looking side dishes to the table.
Judging from the girl's attire, Chu Chen knew she was no ordinary person and was quite generous, someone who didn't lack money.
The war in Dragon City had just ended, and the people's lives were not very prosperous.
Furthermore, since this person doesn't reveal her true identity, her true identity becomes quite interesting.
Chu Chen glanced at the city lord's mansion and thought that perhaps only the people in the city lord's mansion could be so rich and afraid of being discovered.
So he decided to take a gamble, betting that she was from the city lord's mansion, since the city lord loved good food.
I'll feed this person today so she can go inside and spread the word.
"Haha, Manager Wang, did you make all of this?"
The young master opposite seemed unwilling to reveal his identity, and instead changed the subject to talk about the dishes.
Seeing this, Chu Chen didn't ask any questions: "That's right. I may not have any other skills, but my cooking skills are passed down from my ancestors. I'm afraid they're unique in Dragon City."
The young man in white didn't say anything, but reached out, picked up a small piece of food, and put it in his mouth.
Instantly, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he started eating and drinking ravenously, completely disregarding his image.
After a hearty meal, the young man in white showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he casually lay down on the recliner that Chu Chen had placed beside him.
Seeing that graceful posture, Chu Chen's lips twitched and he said to him, "Young master, if you were a girl, I bet all the men in Dragon City would be lining up to break down your door!"
Upon hearing this, the young man in white immediately turned to look at Chu Chen.
"Haha, Manager Wang is not only a master of cooking, but also quite the smooth talker."
"Even I, a grown man, feel a little shy after being praised by you."
Chu Chen rolled his eyes involuntarily after hearing this, thinking to himself, "You're just a woman, what are you pretending for?"
However, he said aloud, "Now, under the leadership of the city lord, the people of Dragon City live in peace and prosperity, free from the ravages of war. Everyone has a love of beauty, so why praise it?"
"Haha, what a wonderful sight to see people living in peace and contentment! Manager Wang must be new to Dragon City, why do you praise the City Lord so highly?"
Chu Chen immediately thought to himself, "This is bad, I'm being investigated."
However, since this girl was able to say that she was new to Dragon City, then she must be a member of the City Lord's Mansion.
So he said without any pretense, "To be honest, I am originally from the Great Xia, but due to years of natural disasters, I fled to Wu Tuo. Later, I heard that this Dragon City is a paradise for the people of the Great Xia, so I secretly boarded the big ship that came to Dragon City. I didn't expect that once I got ashore, I would be quite surprised."
