Chapter 469: Chapter 461 World Rules_1

Ordinary shops, those priced cheaply at seventy to eighty taels per unit, could be bought. This street was the busiest street in the city, and these five shops had wide frontages, each shop facade being eight meters wide and twelve meters deep.

The location, situated at a central crossroad’s gold-standard section, was why the asking price far exceeded that of ordinary shops.

Qin Niu went in with his wives and concubines.

“May I ask what the three honored guests would like to eat?”

The server greeted the trio warmly as he came up to serve them.

The servers in the restaurant were not dressed in local attire; the male waiters wore straw raincoats, bamboo hats, turned-up felt shoes, with holes in their ears and silver earrings.

They sported mustaches, carried curved knives and ox horns at their waists, and moved with agile steps.

Female waiters, on the other hand, wore brocade dresses with paired horse and bird patterns, phoenix crowns on their heads with tassels hanging down, and earrings as well.

Each of them had a slim figure, beautiful curves, a sweet smile on their face, and light steps as if they were always dancing. It was a pleasure to watch.

“It seems to be a restaurant run by foreigners!”

Wang Wanyan curiously surveyed everything inside the restaurant.

Perhaps it was close to dinner time, the restaurant was packed with diners.

Looking around, the food on the tables was also quite distinctive, with roasted beefsteaks or lamb chops, blood sausages the size of radishes, as well as large chunks of lamb and beef. Besides, various exotic delicacies were in sight.

The cruelest scene was that of a gibbons shackled under a table, with its head perfectly fixed in a circular hole at the center of the table—unable to rise further or retreat back.

The top of its head was opened up, revealing the white brain tissue, so diners could scoop up the living brain to dip in sauce and eat.

This scene was extremely brutal.

The appearance of the gibbon was quite similar to that of humans, and its face showed a pained expression. Perhaps because its brain tissue was damaged, it kept emitting piercing screams.

The heart-wrenching cries could bring a listener to tears.

“Ah, that monkey looks so pitiful!”

Wang Wanyan, kind-hearted, instinctively clung tighter to Qin Niu’s arm and turned her head away, unable to bear watching any longer.

“Madam must be visiting Delicacy Pavilion for the first time! Animals are meant for human consumption. This gibbon might look miserable, but if it were our human children caught by it, it would show no mercy either. This gibbon was captured because it stole a three-year-old child from a village, then cruelly tore the child’s arm off and gnawed on it, before being taken down by hunters from the village.

Don’t be misled by its current pitiful state; it was very fierce when it first arrived.”

The waiter said, explaining by the side.

“Do you have private rooms?”

Qin Niu asked.

“Yes, yes! There is just one private room left upstairs, the three honored guests are very lucky, as all the others have been reserved by clients.”

“Take us to the private room, bring up a few of your signature dishes, and a pot of fine tea.”

Now Qin Niu could be considered the richest man in Black Tiger City, with a fortune that at least ranked among the top.

Even ordinary major families were not necessarily as wealthy as him.

Taking advantage of the chaos of war, he had purchased a large amount of prime farmland and shops, which had further skyrocketed his wealth.

Not to mention having a meal of delicacies; even if he dined on delicacies from the mountains and seas every meal, it wouldn’t be a problem.

“Alright! Honored guests, this way upstairs, please!”

The waiter wasn’t blind and naturally could tell that these three guests were of exceptional bearing and needed to be treated well.

After going upstairs, the decoration was like a natural world, ingeniously laid out, with various vines, flowers and plants, and low bushes everywhere. There were also terrariums with lizards, turtles, white cranes, and other animals.

The owner of Delicacy Pavilion had an extraordinary business acumen and had put thought into every detail.
