"The skin of this big insect has been damaged too much, otherwise it would be worth a lot of money." Yuan Yuan said sadly.
"It is indeed a pity." Lu Yan said, "But this is also an accident."
Yuan Yuan was surprised: "You didn't hit this?"
Lu Yan smiled humbly: "I don't have that ability. These three ferocious beasts attacked each other and died together. We happened to encounter them in the mountains and picked up their bodies. Look at these wounds, they are all caused by wolves.
Bite."
Yuan Yuan took a closer look and said, "It's true! Little brother Lu, your luck is really incredible!"
"I wonder if Shopkeeper Yuan wants these?"
"Yes, of course." Yuan Yuan said with a smile, "We in Zhoucheng are competing with Guangweilou in the past few days. We are asked to come up with new ideas. When the wolf and the big insect appear, it will definitely be a gimmick."
When He Yunxi heard that the wolves and tigers were being transported away, he quickly said: "Shopkeeper Yuan, we won't sell these tiger bones."
"This?" Yuan Yuan looked at Lu Yan.
"This is my wife He Yunxi," Lu Yan introduced. "This tiger bone wife has other uses, so I won't sell it."
Yuan Yuan hesitated, and Lu Yan added: "You just want the big bug to appear in the city. I can just take the bones and not break down the big bug. Then you can use something to support it."
"That's okay." Yuan Yuan naturally knows that tiger bones are rare, but since people don't want to sell them, he naturally won't force them, "Then the price... Let's look at it, two wolves, thirty taels, and tigers, twenty-five taels.
If it’s a complete tiger, it’s forty taels.”
A pair of tiger bones costs fifteen taels, which is quite a high price.
To be honest, He Yunxi felt a little distressed, but tiger bones were rare, so he had to keep them despite his distress.
Today I got a total of fifty-five taels, and this was despite the fact that the skins of wolves and large insects had been damaged a lot.
This is equivalent to picking up fifty-five taels for nothing!
After the price was agreed upon, Lu Yan went to get the tiger bones. He Yunxi had nothing to do and waited aside.
At this time, someone was ordering food, and the waiter went to work. Soon, He Yunxi smelled the aroma of oil, followed by the sound of sizzling cooking.
He Yunxi lost interest after smelling it.
Although this is a stir-fry dish, there are very few seasonings and it is not very attractive.
Think about it, there are so few seasonings now, what can you cook?
Yuan Yuan saw that she kept sniffing towards the kitchen and thought she was greedy, so he said: "It will be noon in a while. Brother Lu, can you stay and eat?"
Lu Yan looked at He Yunxi and said, "Okay."
He Yunxi also wanted to see what the restaurant was like, so he agreed.
With today's income, I can still afford one meal.
Thinking of the tofu he was going to make later, He Yunxi said to Yuan Yuan: "Shopkeeper Yuan, I wonder what kind of dishes you have here?"
Yuan Yuan talked about some dishes that are available in the market recently.
Sure enough, there is no tofu.
"Shopkeeper Yuan, we have a dish here that is not available on the market. Do you think you are interested in it?"
"Is it game from the mountains?" Yuan Yuan asked.
"No, it's a dish we cook." He Yunxi said, "It's called tofu, and it's a white and tender dish. There are many dishes that can be made with tofu, such as braised tofu, fish-flavored tofu, tofu buns, tofu soup, etc."
Yuan Yuan was surprised: "Is there such a dish?"
"Of course, we cooked it before and ate it." He Yunxi said, "If you don't believe me, you should believe in my husband."
Yuan Yuan went to see Lu Yan again.
Lu Yan nodded: "I did make tofu at home before, and it tastes very good."
On the day he made the tofu, he was injured and fell into a coma, so naturally he didn't eat the tofu. But my mother and others said it was delicious, so of course it was delicious.
Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up: "Then can you bring some over for us to try?"
"Not tomorrow. Even if we do it today, it won't be ready until noon tomorrow. We can send it over by then, but we won't be able to go back." He Yunxi said.
"It's easy. I'll let the carriage pick you up tomorrow." Yuan Yuan said, "I promise that no matter whether we can reach an agreement in the end, we will take you back by carriage. How about that?"
He Yunxi didn't respond and went to see Lu Yan.
Lu Yan thought about it: "Okay."
After Lu Yan finished taking out the tiger bones, the two of them ordered two dishes to eat. The taste was indeed better than what he remembered, but it tasted bland when He Yunxi tasted it.
After the meal, Lu Yan went to pay the bill, but Yuan Yuan said he didn't want anything. He also said that the insects and wolves they brought were very important to them, so they had to give them this meal as a gift from their friends.
Everyone said so, so the two of them had no choice but to give up.
After leaving Baiweiju, He Yunxi saw a restaurant on the other corner, which was bigger and more impressive than Baiweiju. It was noon now, and there seemed to be many more people eating there.
"The food over there tastes better?" He Yunxi asked.
Lu Yan glanced over there and said, "It was pretty much the same before."
He Yunxi was curious: "Then why is the business there so much better than Baiweiju's?"
"I heard that Guangwei Restaurant hired a chef, and my ancestor was once the imperial chef." Lu Yan said, "But this happened at the beginning of this year, and I have never eaten there."
"Then let's go try it?" He Yunxi suggested.
Lu Yan glanced at her belly and wondered how she could still eat.
But if she wants to go, then go.
They found a place to park the oxcart, gave two copper coins for "parking fee", and the two of them went to Guangwei Building.
"Two guests, please come in... Hey, it's Mr. Lu. I haven't seen you for a long time." The waiter's originally enthusiastic smile faded after seeing Lu Yan, "Are you guys coming to eat today?"
"Yes." Lu Yan ignored the waiter's change of expression and took He Yunxi to the small table in the lobby to sit down, "What do you want to eat?"
"Just the two dishes just now." He Yunxi said.
If you want to see whether the taste is good or not, you can compare the same dishes.
The two of them ordered the dishes, and it turned out that they were the two simplest dishes. The waiter's attitude became even more perfunctory, and he turned around and left with the menu.
He Yunxi held up his chin and looked at the waiter's back as he left: "This restaurant is rather arrogant! But the environment here is much better, so the charges should be more expensive, right?"
"Yes." Lu Yan said, "The price should be more expensive now."
"The imperial chef has been changed." He Yunxi agreed, "Although this place looks more upscale, it is not very comfortable."
Lu Yan didn't say anything, but he agreed in his heart.
Because there were so many people, their dishes were served very slowly. He Yunxi saw that the dishes ordered by the people coming behind were served, but theirs didn't come either.
She pulled Lu Yan's sleeve, "Is this normal?"
"Yes." Lu Yan nodded, "Those with higher consumption will be served first, and those with lower consumption will be served in the evening."
"Tsk, tsk, this differential treatment is too disgusting." He Yunxi said with disgust, "Fortunately, I just came here to give it a try, not really to eat."
