Chapter 434: Eat while standing or dip?
Wenjiu silently took a small dish of prepared ingredients and placed it in front of Master Ba, saying, "Master Ba, this hot pot tastes better with a dip." The hot pot was still being cooked over there with the clear soup pot, so I'm afraid it's just sitting there alone. Wenjiu didn't want to ruin his reputation.
Jiu Ye beside him also nodded: "Yes, my brother, it's delicious when it's just taken out of the pot and eaten with dip."
The Tenth Master also nodded: "That's right."
Mr. Ba glanced at everyone and said, "Eat while standing?" Could it be that these people had colluded to cheat him?
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master nodded firmly: "Yes, it tastes good when eaten with a dip."
The Eighth Master, unwilling to believe it, turned his gaze to the Fourth Master. Seeing that the Fourth Master also nodded, his brows furrowed for a moment.
The Fourth Master silently took another small dish of dipping sauce and placed it next to the warm wine: "Eat."
Wenjiu nodded with a smile. The table was too high, so Wenjiu stood up, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, put it on the plate, dipped it in the sauce, and brought it to his mouth.
"Mmm, it tastes really good."
Wenjiu couldn't help but give Jiu Ye a thumbs up.
Jiu Ye raised his chin proudly and said, "Not bad, right? I didn't tarnish your reputation, did I?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the next second, Mr. Ba stood up with a bowl in his hand.
He slowly put a piece of meat into his mouth, his brows furrowed slightly. "There's no difference between eating standing up and sitting down. The taste... I think it's just so-so. How can it be as delicious as you say?"
"Pfft..." Wenjiu couldn't help but laughed out loud.
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master could no longer hold back their laughter and fell backwards with laughter.
“Hahahahaha…eat it with a dip…don’t eat it while standing, hahahaha…”
The Eighth Master was very upset. He felt that his younger brothers had become mentally unstable since they had always been with the Fourth Brother. He sat back speechlessly.
The Fourth Master was kind enough to pick up a piece of meat, take the plate and wave it towards the Eighth Master, saying, "Eat it with the dipping sauce."
After coating the meat with sauce, he fed it to the warm wine beside him.
Eighth Master: “…”
"Hahahahahaha, my dear, I can laugh about this for a whole year." The Tenth Master laughed at the Eighth Master while eating. In the end, he choked himself and coughed for a long time while patting his chest.
Mr. Ba's face, as black as the bottom of a pot, finally looked a little better. He deserved it! Retribution!
The Eighth Master finished the meal with a gloomy face, but his stomach was full.
After the meal, while picking his teeth with the others, Mr. Ba couldn't help but say, "It tastes okay, but not as good as the boiled fish we have today."
This time, Master Jiu nodded in agreement and said, "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, I don't know why, but I always feel that the food you're watching over always tastes better than the regular food. Do you have any secrets you haven't told me?"
Wenjiu: "What's the secret?"
I thought that she was watching and had replaced the water with spiritual spring water a long time ago, so it would naturally taste better.
However, it was impossible to let these children know about this, so he said, "I guess you think it tastes better when I stare at you. Maybe it has some emotion in it."
Shi Ye looked over and asked: "What kind of emotion is that?"
Warming up the wine: "We have a good relationship, so naturally, we tend to favor those we are close to. Just like this dish today, if it was made by Ninth Master or Tenth Master, I would also think it tastes better than others. It's the same principle."
"That seems to be the case." Both of them nodded immediately.
Seeing the dark clouds gathering over the Fourth Master's head, Wen Jiu immediately said, "If our Fourth Master cooks it, even if it's just a bowl of white rice, Jiu'er will think it's the most delicious thing in the world."
The Fourth Master's expression immediately became much better, and for the first time in a long time he did not refute Wen Jiu's words.
Wenjiu watched the cloudy sky above his head turn to clear, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. The lackey picked up some more food for the Fourth Master.
Mr. Ba really looked at these people as if they were fools, and always felt that they were not normal.
Everything was fine, but now we're talking about something emotional instead of cooking?
It was obvious that the food in Laojiu Restaurant was not as good as the boiled fish eaten in the palace, but this woman just kept talking nonsense and these people believed her.
They all have a relationship with this woman, but I don't. How could I go wrong with the taste I taste?
He looked at his fourth brother with disdain, thinking that his fourth brother had made some progress recently and that he could not compare with him in many things. But his fourth brother was also confused and had been bewitched by this woman.
If this continues, one day I'll be defeated by this woman. The land of gentleness is the grave of heroes, doesn't Fourth Brother understand this?
The Eighth Master did not remind him, he just waited, wishing that this woman would be more favored, and it would be best if the Fourth Master could be obsessed with women and not care about state affairs.
Thinking of this, he nodded in agreement.
The Tenth Master beside him frowned and looked at the Eighth Master: "Eighth Brother, you don't have any friendship with us, why are you nodding?"
Jiu Ye nodded: "That's right."
Eighth Master: “…………”
Too lazy to talk to these fools, Master Ba just stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't be with you all."
"No," Jiu Ye said immediately, "Eighth Brother, you can't leave yet. The money hasn't been paid yet."
Mr. Ba couldn't believe his ears: "This is your shop, and I have to pay for food?"
Jiu Ye nodded, and said without any embarrassment: "Brothers should settle accounts clearly, right? However, my dear brother can't be treated the same as others, so I'll give him a discount. These small dishes will be a gift to him."
Mr. Ba rolled his eyes immediately: "You are really something."
Then he rummaged through his pockets and took out the deposit. After all, he didn't bring any change with him, so he simply threw the small ingot directly into Jiu Ye's hand: "No need to change!"
Jiu Ye blinked twice: "No, Brother B, this is not enough."
"You're amazing! Isn't this enough?" Mr. Ba threw down some more silver and turned away.
Jiu Ye called Ba Ye back and said, "Eighth Brother, it's not enough. The food I ordered is very expensive."
Mr. Ba's eyes widened: "Why don't you go and rob it?"
Jiu Ye stretched out his hand and gestured again: "There is a certain amount of gold, which is almost enough."
The Eighth Master gritted his teeth, took out some gold from his arms, placed it heavily on the table, turned around and left with his men.
After leaving the house, I could still hear Jiu Ye sighing, "Alas, I still lost a little bit, but after all, this is a starling, so I'll just take it as it comes."
The Eighth Master tripped on the door frame and nearly fell. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "If I set foot in Zuixianlou again, I will slap myself twice!"
The eunuch behind him was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word. Earlier, when the Eighth Master and the Ninth Master had quarreled, he had said that he would never come to Zuixianlou again. But he had come in, hadn't he? He even paid a deposit... The Ninth Master was really cruel. If he stayed outside, he would probably have to eat well for several months.
As the Eighth Master walked out of the door, he saw Prince Zhi passing by him and hurried into the Zuixian Tower.
The Eighth Master was stunned for a moment and turned back to look at his personal eunuch, saying, "Is that Big Brother?"
