The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 428
[Chapter 428 I want to report to the official!]
This is Chunfeng Tower.
Even a plain bowl of white porridge is worth a try for many people.
What’s more, this time it was the main dish. Needless to say, everyone present knew how popular the drunken party was.
“Okay -! Guests, wait a moment, the crayfish will be ready soon!”
The young man in Tsing Yi smiled and said a few words, wrote down the dishes ordered by the guests one by one, then turned and walked to the kitchen.
Because no one present knew what crayfish was, most people chose the conservative
steamed flavor.
According to common sense, steaming can best reflect the taste of the ingredients themselves, but the taste of crayfish itself is not particularly outstanding compared to river shrimp.
However, paired with Chunfenglou’s specially formulated dipping sauce, it has a unique flavor.
Fang Xiu is not worried about the taste.
“Sir, your steamed crayfish——!”
About a stick of incense later, the guest came to Fang Xiu’s table with a plate of crayfish.
As soon as she put it down, she saw Zhao Yan’s eyes light up!
The diners at other tables also cast their gazes, wanting to see what Chunfeng Restaurant’s newest signature—crayfish—is.
“Why does this look a bit like something born from river shrimps and crabs?”
“It’s all shells. How can you eat this?”
“How else can you eat it? Have you ever eaten crabs?”
For a while, the entire Chunfeng Tower was talking about it.
At this time, a sharp voice sounded, which seemed a bit abrupt among the noisy voice.
“What a crayfish, it’s just a red worm!”
When everyone heard this sentence, they all focused on the person who spoke.
The speaker was a somewhat thin middle-aged man, wearing a long gown and a cloak made of unknown animal fur.
He looked like a businessman from another country.
“Red worms? Dare I ask this brother, what are red worms?”
Beside him, a fat-bellied businessman asked.
The man turned back, glanced at him, and seemed a little proud, and said: “Red worms, as the name suggests, are of course red worms!
These things live in mud ditches and make a living by eating crops. They are even worse than the locusts.” Awesome.
You have all heard of the famine in the Central Plains, it’s because of this thing!”
After hearing this, some people had doubts on their faces and raised their own questions: “No, the famine in the Central Plains is not a rare occurrence in three years.
“What kind
of drought? “
When the man heard this, he looked a little disdainful and said, “It’s just rhetoric. No matter how serious the drought is, there won’t be countless grains in the fields, right?
This is a drought that has caught up with an insect plague !”
, This is why it’s so serious. You just randomly brought in a refugee from the Central Plains and asked him if he had seen this thing.”
At this point, his tone suddenly rose, and he said loudly: “It’s really a big forest. There are all kinds of birds, and these insects can be used as food. What a sign! What a mess you people in the capital have made of Chunfeng Tower. Unfortunately, I wanted to try it, but in the end I
ordered
a plate of insects.”
At this point, the expressions of the diners nearby changed a bit.
They strongly disagreed with this statement, but for a moment, they didn’t know how to refute it.
After all, what this person said was so serious that people had to believe it.
Moreover, although this crayfish looks like a river shrimp in many ways, it also has many differences. It does look no different from some weird bugs, and it is red.
Some people have already ordered crayfish. After hearing what this guy said, I had already begun to consider whether to return this dish.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.
“Let’s not talk about whether this crayfish is a worm or a shrimp. I only have one question. Has this brother ever tasted this crayfish or red worm?”
Everyone looked at the speaker and found that he was a handsome young man. .
The skin looks tender and tender, so he is obviously a child of a wealthy family. The person who
said “I haven’t eaten
before” was also very open-minded. If he hasn’t eaten before, he just hasn’t eaten.
“Are you willing to eat bugs?”
After saying this, he paused and seemed to think of something. A smile appeared on his face and he said: “Your accent should be from Jiangnan.
That’s not surprising. , You Jiangnan people eat everything, eating bugs is not a strange thing!” When
the young man heard this, his expression became a little cold, he looked at the man and said slowly: “If it tastes great, it’s bugs! , it’s not a big deal.
But before the first person ate crabs, everyone only thought crabs were a kind of worm, but now they have become a delicacy in the world.”
“It’s awesome.”
The man’s expression was very disdainful, and he stood up and said: “If you want to eat this, just eat it. I can see it. No matter how much I tell you, it’s useless. I won’t accompany you. Farewell!” He
stood up as soon as he finished speaking.
When everyone saw this scene, their expressions became even colder, and some even showed anger.
Such people just rely on the fact that they are from a foreign country and cannot stay in the capital for a few days, so they dare to act so wantonly and say things that they would not normally say.
When the boy next to him saw this, he stopped in front of him and said with a smile: “This guest, your meal money.”
“Food money? What kind of meal money?”
When the man heard this, his face was full of expression. The boy in Tsing Yi looked at the boy in surprise and said, “I haven’t eaten a single dish, how can I get the money for the meal?”
The boy in Tsing Yi pointed out a bowl of white porridge and several dishes of side dishes on the table. When the
man
saw this, he smiled very disdainfully and said, “What did I think, just these few bowls of white porridge? How much money?”
The young man in green said, “No more, no less, just one tael.”
The hand that was about to take out the silver stopped in mid-air, with a look of surprise on his face. He stared at the young man in Tsing Yi and said angrily: “One tael of silver!?
One tael of silver for a bowl of white porridge!? Why don’t you go and grab it!?”
Tsing Yi The waiter saw this and ignored it. He just pointed at the notice posted before and said: “If you order food, the porridge and side dishes are naturally free.
But if you don’t order, the porridge and side dishes are only one tael of silver .”
“It’s clearly written in black and white. If this guest has any questions, you can ask them.”
“What the hell!” When
the man heard this, he became angry and said loudly: “It’s just a few bowls of white porridge.” Two pieces of silver, you are stealing money! You are called a big bully in the store! I’m going to sue the police!”
The boy in Qingyi didn’t panic at all when he saw this.
He looked at the man with an indifferent look and said lightly: “It’s okay to report to the official. Please pay for the meal first.”
