C14 (1/2)
Until the liquid in the bathtub turned crimson red, Duan Hong jumped out of the tub and wore his T-shirt and jeans again, while wearing his canvas monastic shoes.
She felt hungry and had finished digesting the three taels of rice she had for dinner. After earning some money, she relaxed.
When he opened the door, he found Yan Xiaowen, the driver, respectfully standing at the side.
”Boss Duan, my boss is treating you to a midnight snack.”
Lao Liu looked to be a little old with a little white hair at his temples. He was dressed in a neat black middle mountain attire and his hands were tucked into his sleeves.
Duan Hong grinned, revealing a row of spotlessly white teeth. Adding to his wheat colored skin, he looked as bright and white as a seashell gem.
The old fellow did not treat it as a free meal, since his money was taken from him through exploitation. Thus, it was used as spending money on behalf of the people.
< p > ”Alright, let's go.”
Duan Hong followed Lao Liu to the hall. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Lao Liu did not make any sound when he walked.
Duan Hong was slightly surprised. The canvas monastic robe he was wearing made clattering noises when walking on the marble floor, but Lao Liu's hard leather shoes were even softer than his voice.
It seemed like this Lao Liu was not simple either. His footsteps were light and graceful, and his arms were long and slender.
Duan Hong thought again: Yan Xiaowen, a big boss, doesn't have any bodyguards?
It seemed that he trusted Lao Liu quite a bit.
When the two of them arrived at the private room, Duan Hong saw that the words ”Fragrant Spring Pavilion” were written on the door in large gold letters. Walking in, Duan Hong discovered that the table was filled with a variety of dishes: Stewed Lion's Head with Crab Powder, Jin'ling Pills, White Juice Round Cuisine, Stewed Chicken with Yellow Mud, Jin'ling Duck, Blue Conch Shrimp, Honey Sauce Fire Cuisine, and a variety of Su Cuisines.
Behind him stood a few young ladies of the prime of their youth. They were dressed in qipao; they were truly beautiful.
< p > ”Senior brother!” ”You came. If it wasn't for Old Man Yan guarding me, I would have already eaten all of it. I said that I would wait for you.”
Shen Huo immediately moved the seat over for Duan Hong.
Yan Xiaowen said to the driver, ”Lao Liu, sit down and eat together with us.”
< p > ”Yes, boss.”
Lao Liu leaned against Yan Xiaowen and sat down.
”Hehe, Brother Duan, I have specially asked Aunt Su's Golden Chef, Jiang Bo Fang, to prepare this table of Su Yuan dishes. I don't know if it's to your liking.”
”Boss Yan is too polite, when humans are hungry they don't choose to eat. With this much delicious food, how can it not be appetizing?”
< p > ”I like this name the most.”
He grabbed the stewed chicken with yellow mud from the table and peeled off the lotus leaves to eat.
< p > ”Hey —”
Yan Xiaowen frowned as he looked at the Comprehension fever, this person was truly useless, he probably had not eaten anything delicious at Ku Chan Temple, but his experience was not bad, and actually knew the Flower Chicken.
Pah pah pah, is this something a human should eat?
He spat out the chicken in his mouth as if he wasn't eating the chicken, but rather the Coptis chinensis.
< p > ”Hm?”
Yan Xiaowen watched carefully and thought: Could it be that Chef Jiang did something bad?
He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken where he could not feel the heat, stuffed it into his mouth, and carefully chewed it.
It was fragrant, but not greasy. The fragrance of the lotus leaves was mixed in the middle, making it seem like a real chicken.
Duan Hong also tasted it, he felt that the temperature was more or less the same and that it tasted like chewing wax, but he swallowed it back anyway. He did not like to waste it and said: ”Calling for a chicken is the right choice, but the raw materials used are not good.”
