Zhenweilou is one of the few restaurants in Yuxi City. Youdao is that no matter how poor a place is, there is no shortage of local tyrants. The Zhenwei Building used to be a place for nobles to eat, drink and have fun. However, when these early local tyrants moved their families, they were intercepted by bandits and lost their lives. With tears in my eyes, I took back their property, bought various farm tools and necessities and distributed them to the public.
Although these local tyrants are gone, the people are getting richer gradually. Especially this year's harvest is good, and most people have spare money in their hands. Zhenweilou has changed its way of thinking, instead of making luxury dishes that only nobles can afford, it regards ordinary people as potential customers, and launches menus with affordable prices, which are well received. Although the earning is not as easy as before, the popularity is still high It is more than that.
And it is impossible for Yuxi City to have no new nobles forever. In fact, even if the money in the world is divided equally, the gradual gap between rich and poor will widen again. Due to the development of the demon breeding industry and early industry in Yuxi City, including the continuous trade with the territory of Yunhai, a group of new nobles have been born. It's just that these people should be more obedient and know how to follow in the footsteps of He Yue and me, which is more worry-free. New aristocrats will occasionally come to the Zhenwei Building for tooth-tasting festivals, so there are still markets for many expensive dishes.
I brought Heyue to the Zhenwei Building. Most of the waiters at the door didn’t recognize me, and they were still saying to me, “today is full”, but the boss who came behind hurriedly pushed him aside with a slap.
The boss of Zhenweilou is named Sha Yan, and he is a lean and burly man, unlike the potbellied bosses in the general impression. He is the one who runs the Zhenwei Restaurant, and even now, he will personally receive many distinguished guests. He didn't have a fat physique in the first place, and he insisted on working every day, so he naturally maintained a good figure.
After seeing me, he smiled slightly, rubbed his hands, and said:
"The people below are ignorant, so don't be as knowledgeable as them. The seats outside are almost booked, but there are still two private rooms left. I'll arrange them for you right away, please come with me."
Because I used to sneak over for extra meals when Alaiya was cooking radish stewed cabbage, so I was quite familiar with the boss, so I replied with a smile:
"OK."
He Yue and I stepped into the Zhenwei Building, and the bustling and bustling restaurant gradually quieted down. By the time we got to the wooden stairs and started to go upstairs, it was basically silent. In front of people, Heyue still gave me face very much, and followed me behind with a smile. After entering the private room, she took the menu, glanced at it, and asked me:
"How much money do you have in your house?"
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied:
"It's enough for a meal."
He Yue nodded, turned to the boss, and said solemnly:
"Excuse me, let's have a taste of each of the ten most expensive items on your menu."
I took a sip of tea and sprayed it on the ground.
Sha Yan gave me a strange look, but still nodded and said:
"No problem, just wait a moment."
After finishing speaking, he backed out. I said helplessly to He Yue:
"How can you order like this without checking whether you like it or not?"
He Yue said seriously:
"Eating is nothing but to be happy. This time I eat expensive ones. The more expensive the merrier."
I really can't say enough about him, so I can only sigh with emotion:
"You haven't calmed down yet."
As soon as this sentence fell, He Yue's eyes suddenly widened, her brows stood upright, and she said angrily:
"Do you know that during this period of time, I have even written the plans for these three cities? Such a thick stack! I look forward to the stars, the moon, and more people and land every day. Every day is like counting money. I inspected the three cities in the same way. For so many days, I have long regarded every brick and stone as something in the wallet of Yuxi City, as our own treasure. Then one day, you suddenly told me that these things are gone , No more! I know the importance of Fang Shisan. If we were to exchange three cities for her at the beginning, I would definitely be willing to make this deal. This is a strategic need and an important step to complete the puzzle. But this One time? Her younger brother was also in our hands at the time, and she obviously had a tendency to fall to Yuxi City, why did she return these three cities?"
As He Yue said, she folded her hands in her sleeves and said sullenly:
"I always feel that you take care of Fang Shisan too much. I told you that I don't care how many women you have around you, but you can't favor one person, it will affect your basic judgment."
I scratched my head:
"No. I just think it's more handsome to do so. If you say it, you will give it. How courageous."
He Yue glared at me.
I obediently shut my mouth.
He Yue looked out the window, the pedestrians who came and went in a hurry were still whispering, the voices of the guests in the lobby of the restaurant gradually became louder, and a lot of people could be vaguely heard talking about this matter.
As for the comments, most of them are naturally dissatisfied with me.
He Yue looked at me and asked:
"Did you hear that? Everyone thinks you're a fool."
I laughed.
He Yue leaned over, squeezed my cheeks with both hands, and said dissatisfiedly:
"dare you laugh?!"
I replied:
"They laugh as long as they laugh. I am the city lord of Lide, the majestic Yuxi City. I need them to teach me how to do things? Besides, even if I do something wrong, don't you have to give me the bottom line? Just treat it as if you followed someone Prodigal son, the difficulty of the game has been forcibly increased by others, do you feel that it is full of challenges all of a sudden?"
He Yue grabbed my cheek and pulled it down, the pain made me grin my teeth. He Yue let go, sat back to her original position, and finally showed a smile on her face:
"Sometimes when I think about it, I'm not worth it for myself. Last night I burned down the development plans of the three cities in a fit of anger, dug a grave and buried them. I told myself that I was born to be a hard worker. Fate. I was born to be your bull and horse, and I managed to gain a little advantage, so I just let you go to the waves."
He Yue sighed and said mockingly:
"Forget it. Anyway, it's not a loss to Fangyuan in the end. He took these three cities, which is equivalent to fully taking over the formation that Fang Shisan had laid out at the beginning. He can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. Originally, we defeated Tianxing City. Leaving Fang Shisan and Fang Lita away will inevitably cause Lord Zhaochen's revenge. It's not bad now, Fang Yuan is helping us in the north, and with Fang Shisan's family background, even if he loses, he can't lose so quickly. I'll just spend money to buy peace, alas."
What He Yue said was also what I thought of before.
Fang Shisan's array is self-contained, and the ten cities together form a complete body. If three cities belong to me, the remaining seven cities will become a mess without the eyes of the array.
The food is here.
The hot air separated Heyue and me, and amidst the clouds and mist, Heyue suddenly asked:
"Fang Lita, didn't Fang Yuan be sent back? What are you going to do with it?"
I took a bite of the dish and replied vaguely:
"Let's just find a place to raise it. Fang Shisan's younger brother can't just cut it with a knife. If you want to kill him, you have to kill Fang Shisan. Is she willing?"
After a while of silence over there, He Yue said:
"There is no need to kill him. But I want Fang Shisan's nomination certificate. She must prove that Yuxi City is more important than this younger brother in her heart, so that I can safely hand over the military power to her."
I swallowed the food in my mouth and said with a smile:
"Wait a minute... there will be."
