Chapter 423: Put on airs
Seeing the shopkeeper and the waiter leave, Chen Zhancai could no longer suppress his curiosity and began to look around.
Look at this, touch that,
Famous calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, and there are sandalwood tables and chairs everywhere. Even the tea sets are exquisite.
Then, he walked to the bed and couldn't help but lie down on it.
I just felt so soft and comfortable all over.
I sighed in my heart, my little darling, this is the first time he lives in such a nice house since he was a child.
A clean and elegant room with a soft and comfortable bed. Such a wonderful place would be even more perfect if it were accompanied by a beautiful woman...
Just as Chen Zhancai was lost in thought, he suddenly heard footsteps. He quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and
The shop owner walked in with a big smile on his face, "Sorry for the long wait, Mr. Chen. The food is ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter who followed him set up a table full of delicious food.
Although Chen Zhancai had eaten out many times before, he had never seen such a scene.
There were a total of twelve dishes, and he had never seen any of them before. He was so greedy that his mouth was almost watering.
Seeing Chen Zhancai standing there motionless, staring at the food and wine on the table without blinking,
The shopkeeper thought that the banquet was not up to standard and hurried forward to explain.
"Mr. Chen, if you are not satisfied, I will have them removed and prepare a new table."
"No, no, no, this is good."
Chen Zhancai suddenly came to his senses and felt that his words and actions just now were inappropriate. He quickly cleared his throat and
"This young master doesn't like extravagance, so just follow this standard every day."
"Okay, I'll take note of it." The shop owner smiled and nodded repeatedly.
The waiter wiped the chair with his sleeve in a flattering manner and said, "Mr. Chen, please take a seat. I will serve you well." After saying that, he hurriedly poured another glass of wine.
Seeing these two people serving him humbly like grandsons, Chen Zhancai's vanity was greatly satisfied. He became even more arrogant and sat on the chair with a proud look.
Looking at the table full of food and wine, I really want to eat it with all my heart and drink to my heart's content.
But he did not dare to act too rashly. After all, he was now a fake rich young man and had to be careful about his words and actions.
If someone finds out, he'll definitely get beaten up.
Thinking in his heart, he held the wine glass slowly and drank it all, then smacked his lips to taste it.
"Well, this wine tastes pretty good."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he felt recognized and was very happy. He quickly and attentively filled the glass with wine and smiled.
"Mr. Chen, please try the food and see if you are satisfied?"
"Okay, taste it for me." Every dish was mouth-watering, and Chen Zhancai didn't know which one to eat for a moment.
The waiter was always looking for an opportunity to show his courtesy. Seeing that he held up his hand but did not move his chopsticks, he quickly bent down and pointed with his hand.
"Mr. Chen, you can try this dish. It's our local specialty—Ningjing Lion's Head. It has a soft, glutinous texture and a rich, fresh flavor. It's fatty but not greasy."
"Okay, then I'll have a taste."
Chen Zhancai picked up a large meatball and put it into his mouth, eating it in big mouthfuls, and couldn't help sighing in his heart,
It is indeed a local specialty, and it tastes many times better than the big meatballs in my hometown.
At this moment, he didn't care about his image. Without waiting for the food in his mouth to be swallowed, he picked up another big meatball and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Mr. Chen, don't just focus on eating lion's head. Try this steamed fish. This dish is also our specialty." The shop owner saw Chen Zhancai eating and smiled faintly. He hurriedly picked up a pair of chopsticks and put a piece of fish on the plate for him in a flattering manner.
Chen Zhancai glared at him and said, "I don't like eating fish. It has too many bones." It's not that he doesn't like it, he just doesn't find it satisfying and can't stop eating.
Before the shopkeeper could speak, the waiter hurriedly explained, "Mr. Chen, you may not know that this fish has no bones except for one main bone. The meat of this dish is tender and rich, and it is guaranteed to make you want to eat it."
"Okay, then I'll try it." Chen Zhancai took a bite and really wanted to hit his head. It was too delicious. He didn't expect that there would be such a delicious food in the world.
Suddenly, a strong aroma of meat hit my nose. Following the scent, I found a dish with red meat, white skin, smooth and crystal clear skin, and transparent braised jelly.
"What kind of dish is this?" Chen Zhancai asked curiously.
The shopkeeper hurriedly introduced, "This dish is called Crystal Braised Pork. It's pure, fresh, fragrant, and smooth. Mr. Chen, please try it."
"Yes, this dish came from Anyang. Master Chen must have eaten it before!"
Hearing the waiter's words, Chen Zhancai's heart suddenly sank. He was really careless. He was now a rich young man who had eaten all kinds of delicious food. How could he make such a low-level mistake?
In order to save face, he shook his head slightly and said, "I have tasted all the delicacies in the world. There must be something I haven't eaten. It's just that I don't like this dish, so I didn't think of it at the moment."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then Master Chen, try some other dishes." The shop owner believed it and took the dish aside.
Seeing this, Chen Zhancai felt anxious. He thought, "What a greedy guy! Now he can't eat such delicious food anymore."
In order to prevent similar things from happening again, he stopped asking questions, swung his chopsticks, shook his cheeks, and shook his big molars, and kept talking!
The wine glass was empty and then full, full and then empty again, drinking until I was so excited that I forgot everything else...
Chen Zhancai waved to the shopkeeper and waiter beside him.
"Come on, come on, stop standing there like idiots. Come on, sit down and have a few drinks with me."
The two were immediately flattered and sat on the chairs stiffly with their butts bent.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your kindness. We won't be polite then." Although the shop owner runs an inn and usually earns a lot of money, he is very stingy and usually can't bear to spend money on big fish and meat. How can he refuse this opportunity today?
The waiter was drooling with greed. Although he had tasted the leftovers of customers many times before, they were all just soup and had no taste at all.
It was rare to meet such a generous young man from a wealthy family today. He kept showing off and not forgetting to flatter Chen Zhancai all the time...
