After hearing the sound, Lin Xuan pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.
"Who are you?"
Li Chengqian looked at Lin Xuan with some confusion. At first, he thought it was the waiter who had brought food, but seeing that Lin Xuan's clothes did not look like a waiter, he was a little wary for a moment.
"Two distinguished guests, I am the owner of this restaurant. Our restaurant recently sold out a vegetable, and now we are giving it to customers in the private room for free to taste." Lin Xuan put the bean sprouts on the table and said with a smile.
At first, Li Chengqian thought that his identity had been exposed. After hearing his explanation, he couldn't help but relax.
Looking at the bean sprouts on the table curiously, Li Chengqian found that he had never seen this kind of vegetable before.
"Are you sure this is a vegetable? Why haven't I seen this kind of vegetable before?" Li Chengqian said doubtfully.
Lin Xuan explained: "This is a new vegetable I made. It is not found elsewhere. It is not surprising if you have never seen it before. This vegetable tastes very good. You will know after you try it."
Li Chengqian was a little hesitant, and he had some doubts about Lin Xuan's purpose.
Although he wanted to hide his identity and the guards were hidden nearby, he still had two guards with him.
After giving a wink to one of the guards behind him, the guard stepped forward, picked up the bean sprouts with his chopsticks, and ate them.
Lin Xuan remained calm on his face, but he was thinking to himself: "Who are they? They even asked people to test poison while eating!"
After the guard finished eating, he shook his head at Li Chengqian and said there was no problem.
Li Chengqian felt relieved now. Although his guard was not very skilled in martial arts, he was very knowledgeable about poisons. He could detect any poison with just one try.
Since there was no problem, Li Chengqian picked up the chopsticks, picked up some bean sprouts and put it in his mouth.
Bean sprouts taste cool and refreshing, which made Li Chengqian's eyes light up.
"Sister, you should try it too, these bean sprouts taste quite good." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he remembered that the master Lin Xuan was still there. He smiled a little sheepishly and said, "Thank you so much, brother. This food is indeed delicious."
Lin Xuan said: "As long as the guests like it, they can come often in the future. Keyunlou will always supply bean sprouts."
"I would like to ask you how bean sprouts are grown."
Li Chengqian was a little curious, where did the vegetables come from in this season?
As a prince, it is impossible for him to have vegetables to eat every day.
Although the royal family planted some vegetables near the hot springs, the quantity was very small. There were so many people in the royal family, and Li Shimin sometimes rewarded some to princes and ministers, so he could get even less.
He originally thought that Lin Xuan also used this method to grow bean sprouts, but he didn't expect that Lin Xuan actually said that Ke Yunlou would always supply them. This made him a little incredible.
"I'm sorry, this is a business secret, so it's not convenient to tell the guest." Lin Xuan said.
When Lin Xuan was talking to Li Chengqian, the corner of his eyes kept focusing on Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi was happily eating bean sprouts and didn't interrupt. As a woman, she shouldn't be seen in public, let alone talk to a strange man.
"Sorry, I was presumptuous." Li Chengqian said apologetically.
"It's okay, I hope you understand." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Li Chengqian raised his hand and said, "I'm Li Gaoming. If you don't mind, brother, just call me Gaoming."
"I'm Lin Xuan. I've met Brother Gao Ming." Lin Xuan returned the greeting with his hands in hand.
Li Chengqian smiled: "Brother Lin and I hit it off immediately. If you don't mind, we can sit down and have a drink together."
"Then excuse me!"
Lin Xuan didn't want to leave in the first place, but he was worried that there was no reason.
"Brother Lin, please sit down." Li Chengqian greeted.
After Lin Xuan sat down, Li Chengqian pointed at Li Lizhi and introduced: "This is my roommate Li Changle."
"I've met Miss Li!" Lin Xuan said with cupped hands.
Li Lizhi had been living in the palace and rarely had contact with strange men. Her face turned red and she whispered: "I have met Mr. Lin."
The gentle and crisp voice flowed in Lin Xuan's heart like spring water. He looked at Li Lizhi in a daze, a little crazy.
"Cough, cough, brother Lin." Li Chengqian coughed slightly and called.
He was a little dissatisfied. He didn't expect Lin Xuan to look at his sister so rudely.
Lin Xuan came back to his senses, blushed a little, and smiled awkwardly.
Li Lizhi was originally a little angry at Lin Xuan's frivolity, but when she saw Lin Xuan's shy expression, she almost laughed, and her depressed mood improved a lot.
At this moment, the waiter started serving the food, which relieved the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
After the dishes were served, Li Chengqian greeted: "Come, brother Lin, let's have a drink."
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Xuan, he was well-educated and did not show his emotions.
Lin Xuan stood up, poured the wine, and said with a smile: "I'd like to toast Brother Gao Ming."
The two of them drank from cup to cup, chatting while drinking.
Because the two of them met for the first time, they didn't know anything about their respective situations, so they just talked nonsense.
Lin Xuan's occasional witty remarks made Li Chengqian's impression of him much better.
Li Lizhi, on the other hand, was eating the food elegantly while the two of them were chatting.
After the two of them got acquainted, Li Chengqian said, "Brother Lin, can you sell me some of your bean sprouts? I want to buy some for my parents to try."
"This..." Lin Xuan looked embarrassed.
Bean sprouts were not a strange thing to him, but to Li Chengqian, they were very strange.
Lin Xuan deliberately manipulated it because he wanted Li Chengqian to owe him a favor.
"Brother Lin, don't worry. I know that vegetables are very precious now and money is not an issue." Li Chengqian said.
Li Lizhi also looked at Lin Xuan expectantly. She also wanted her mother to try the bean sprouts.
Lin Xuan felt that it was almost done, smiled and said: "Brother Gao Ming will go out when you raise the money. Just take some back when you leave."
Li Chengqian said, "How can this be done? How can I ask for your things in vain?"
"How can I ask for your money after we met? Could it be that Brother Gao Ming doesn't regard me as a friend?" Lin Xuan said pretending to be unhappy.
Li Chengqian nodded hesitantly, "Thank you so much, Brother Lin."
Lin Xuan laughed and said: "That's right. I'll ask someone to pack it for you later. Because the bean sprouts are easy to spoil, you should take less of it first. If you want to eat it later, come back and get fresh ones."
In fact, there is no problem if the bean sprouts are soaked in water and kept intact for a few days. In addition, the temperature is already low now, so they will not spoil. He just said this to get Li Chengqian to come more so that he could see Li Chengqian.
So beautiful.
Li Chengqian didn't know this and said happily: "Thank you, Brother Lin."
"Why are you so polite? Let's continue drinking." Lin Xuan raised his glass and said.
After finishing the meal, Lin Xuan didn't say a few words to Li Lizhi, mainly because the defense between men and women at this time was too strong.
After finishing the meal, Lin Xuan asked someone to pack a few kilograms of bean sprouts, and then sent Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi to the carriage.
After the carriage had gone far, Lin Xuan turned back to the restaurant.
He didn't know their identities, didn't ask about them, and didn't know if he could see the girl again in the future.
