Chapter 470: Chapter 462: Unexpected Gains_1

Qin Niu merely listened quietly and did not interject.

Tang Caixian’s social experience was evidently much more extensive than Wang Wanyan’s, and their mutual support could enhance their relationship, which was very good.

“There are such venomous beggars in the world? That person is truly despicable,” Wang Wanyan said after hearing the story, and she stopped paying attention to the donkey’s screams, instead feeling indignant on behalf of Tang Caixian.

Before long, the signature dishes were served one after another, and the three of them tasted the exquisite delicacies together.

“Hmm… this meat is particularly fresh and tender, with an amazing flavor. You two should try it as well.”

Wang Wanyan elegantly ate the slice of meat that she had picked up.

Perhaps having never tasted such delicious stir-fried meat before, she took several more pieces with her chopsticks.

After eating, she kept praising how delicious and fresh the meat was.

“Madam, you truly know how to appreciate fine food! This is one of our restaurant’s signature dishes, stir-fried donkey meat. To ensure the meat is fresh and tender, we specially cut it from living donkeys. This dish, you see…”

The server, proudly presenting the dish, began to introduce the name and origin of this plate of stir-fried meat.

However, before he could finish, Wang Wanyan’s face had already changed color.

“If you don’t believe it, you can look down from that window. The more than twenty donkeys tied up in the shed are all alive. It takes seven days for each donkey to regrow tender meat that can be cut again. Often, you can’t even get this dish when you want it!” said the server, thinking Wang Wanyan doubted his honesty and promptly pointing to the window behind the private room.

She stood up and walked to the window, pushed open the lattice, and looked down.

Indeed, she saw a chef holding a sharp blade and cutting the tender meat off a donkey’s leg, with blood spilling profusely; the donkey was screaming in pain. The scene was extremely bloody and cruel.

Wang Wanyan could no longer hold it in and crouched on the ground, dry heaving.

Qin Niu quickly got up and went over to comfort her.

In his view, eating live donkey meat, though cruel, didn’t seem wrong.

The server, realizing he had said something wrong, turned pale and kept apologizing profusely.

“You may go down now!”

Qin Niu gave the server an indifferent glance.

Unbeknownst to others, he had already acquired a certain level of authority. This demeanor and authority seemed to come naturally.

Upon reflection, it was closely related to his advancement in spiritual power, increase in wealth, rise in social status, and continuous expansion of his connections.

It was the same for anyone— as one’s comprehensive strength improved, and as one’s words turned into actions, and one’s goals were achieved, a sense of authority gradually emerged.

After comforting Wang Wanyan for a while, Tang Caixian also came over to console her and poured her tea to drink, finally calming her down.

However, she refused to eat any more of the meat, fearing she might be unwittingly tricked again.

She would only consent to eating some vegetarian dishes.

When the meal was almost finished, someone knocked on the door and came in.

Aside from a female server, there was also a rather portly, oddly-dressed man. He had a round face, small eyes, a small mustache, and a face that beamed with a Buddha-like smile.

“I am Shen Wanqing, the Shopkeeper of Delicacy Pavilion. I was unaware that Master Qin and the two distinguished ladies had arrived; I apologize for not greeting you sooner. Please forgive my oversight,” he said, bowing deeply to the three guests.

“Shopkeeper Shen, please, there is no need for such formalities! We had just taken over a new property near here and saw that your establishment offered a wide variety of delicious dishes, so we thought to eat here before coming to find you. If Shopkeeper Shen is not too busy, you can sit down now, and we can have a chat.” Qin Niu gestured with a lifting hand.
