Chapter 38: At The Delicious Restaurant!
Two people and a little monkey strolled around the Royal City. Undeniably this is the Royal City of the Luo Tong Kingdom, prosperous, lively and bustling on the long wide streets. Some of the streets were fifty to sixty meters wide, with an endless stream of horses and carriages that trotted along and if Cangnan County City were to be compared, it could only be described as a rural backwater.
From time to time, there were people in strange clothes who passed by Huang Xiaolong. There were over thirty counties ruled by the Luo Tong Kingdom’s royal family, and under each county were many cities so the many different cultures between the cities were apparent. This was similar to Hua Xia which had many different ethnicities.
As they strolled about the city, a two-meter tall muscular man whose entire body was covered in coarse hairs and on his face were tiger-like whiskers passed by Huang Xiaolong.
“Is that a Beastman?” wondered Huang Xiaolong as he looked at the muscular man who just walked past them.
In the Martial Spirit World, other than the human race, there existed many others races and beast people were one of them. There were also, half-beast human – the offspring from the coupling between humans and beast people.
As the streets were crowded, Huang Xiaolong just went along with the flow, the little monkey on his shoulder squeaking nonstop in excitement.
Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou strolled casually, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.
A few moments later, as he walked by a restaurant called Delicious Restaurant, Huang Xiaolong came to a stop.
“Fei Hou, let's go in and eat something.” Huang Xiaolong said. Having spent four months training in Silvermoon Forest, his tongue was already coated black from eating roast meat every day, so he planned to eat to his heart’s content today.
When Huang Xiaolong finished speaking, the little monkey perched on his shoulder immediately clapped in agreement.
“Glutton!” Huang Xiaolong teased.
They went into the restaurant and saw that it was full.
“Let's go to the Second floor.” But as Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou were about to climb up the stairs, the restaurant’s waiter quickly rushed up to them to stop them from going to the second floor and politely explained,
“Little brother, my apologies, but our second floor is reserved for nobles.”
“Nobles again.” Huang Xiaolong frowned, then he looked at Fei Hou. Fei Hou replied by throwing a gold coin to the waiter saying, “This is Young Master’s tip.”
The restaurant servant blanked out for a moment staring at the gold coin in his palm: “This, this is for me?!” His monthly salary was one gold coin and the nobles that frequent here usually reward him with a few silver coins.
“Now we can go up?” Fei Hou asked indifferently.
“Sure, certainly!” replied the waiter as he regained his senses, with his face sporting a wide smile he said “This way, please!” and respectfully led Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou to the second floor.
Although the second floor was said to be reserved for nobles, it was not necessarily true, for as long as the customer could pay, the second floor was open to them.
Evidently, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou were people with money. Thus, the restaurant waiter led them to a good seat close to the window.
After Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou had sat down The waiter asked politely with a smile plastered on his face, “Masters, what dishes would you like to order?”
“Bring us about ten or more dishes that your restaurant is most famous for. And three of the biggest jugs of the best wine available!” Huang Xiaolong said.
“Ten or more dishes! Three urns of the best wine!” The restaurant waiter was stunned and his mouth agape.
More than ten dishes, and three urns of wine!
“Why you still standing there? Not moving?” asked Fei Hou but seeing that the restaurant waiter still was standing there, he frowned a little then he took out a small pouch and threw it to the waiter. The restaurant waiter caught the small pouch, opened it and looked inside. A beautiful golden glow shined before his eyes, that small pouch held about sixty gold coins.
“This is enough, right?” asked Fei Hou.
The restaurant waiter nodded his head vigorously: “Enough, enough. There will be plenty left over too.”
“The rest is your reward. Go quickly and get the dishes.”
