Chapter 1759: Lucky Restaurant
“It’s already good enough. These days, having a bowl of noodles to eat is already considered good. It will be even more expensive in the coming year,” said the other man.
“I’m telling you, it’s really not delicious. There’s no oil at all. They just put in two grains of salt and didn’t even put in any green onions. How can I eat this?” The man put down his chopsticks. “You haven’t tasted good food. Only food from Lucky Restaurant can be called delicious. It’s incredibly fragrant.”
“Is it really so delicious? I’ve also heard of Lucky Restaurant, but their dishes are expensive.”
“I have eaten there before. My cousin works as a manservant in a wealthy family. He served the eldest son and was rewarded a little.” The man said, “It’s all people from wealthy families that eat there. Lucky Restaurant really is raking in some money.”
“The barbecue is brushed with oil and sprinkled with various seasonings, tut-tut, that taste…” The man’s face was full of longing.
Li Gouzi listened to their talk and also felt that the noodles were flavorless. He simply couldn’t eat anymore.
With Li Gouzi’s all-take-and-no-give personality, he, of course, had eaten Lucky Restaurant’s dishes. As he listened to these two people talk, he started really craving for their food.
He felt the money in his purse. Although he wanted to eat a meal there, he only had two copper coins. He definitely couldn’t afford it.
Really! They evoked people’s sense of gluttony.
“Who opened this Lucky Restaurant? How much money must they make every day!” One man exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s Wen Yu, the son of the Wen family. The Wen family already has enough money and is one of the most powerful families in this town, but I heard that this restaurant was opened in partnership with someone. It’s even a woman.”
“A woman?”
“Yeah, she is very low-key, though. I heard that she’s called something like Bai Yiqiao. I heard that she’s a peasant woman. But it’s only things I’ve heard. I don’t know if it is true.”
“Who knows, haha…”
Li Gouzi was originally going to pay the bill and leave. When he heard this, his fingers trembled. There were stormy waves in his heart at the moment. The restaurant was opened by Bai Yiqiao?
This woman was so tight-lipped that no one in the village knew that she had opened such a profitable restaurant. Maybe even the person who slept next to her, Fang Yong, also had no idea.
When he thought about it again, giving him a few hundred taels truly was not a big deal for her. It all made sense now. Otherwise, how could Bai Yiqiao just give him money as if she had too much?
Li Gouzi felt that the Heavens were finally on his side. How refreshing!
He threw two copper coins on the table and went out of the noodle restaurant to Lucky Restaurant.
Ning Shu followed Li Gouzi to Lucky Restaurant. He carefreely walked inside and studied the whole place carefully.
The more he looked at it, the more magnificent it seemed. All the people coming and going were rich. Li Gouzi stroked his chin. It seemed that asking for a few hundreds of taels from Bai Yiqiao was just a small amount. She was simply a hen who laid golden eggs.
A waiter came up and asked Li Gouzi what he would like to eat. When Li Gouzi saw the bowing waiter, he felt like he was reinvigorated from his heels to the crown of his head.
He felt like he was a protagonist in a play. In any case, he counted as Bai Yiqiao’s man, right?
Li Gouzi didn’t eat in the hall. Rather, he booked a private room and ordered whatever dishes were expensive. He ordered a table of dishes that permeated the air with their fragrance.
He thought that his days of eating like a Daoist monk were gone now.
Li Gouzi ate until he burped. He wiped the oil on the corner of his mouth and was about to leave without paying. The waiter stopped Li Gouzi. “Honored guest, you haven’t settled the bill yet.”
“Settle the bill? I need to settle the bill?” Li Gouzi glared, trying to make himself look more imposing. He looked even more ridiculous, though.
