Cang Lingxing's words stunned the restaurant owner.
"Five-spiced eggs? This..."
"Why, don't you have any here?"
Cang Lingxing saw the boss's expression, frowned and spoke in dissatisfaction.
On the side, Cang Yuansheng looked at Cang Lingxing, feeling quite helpless.
"Miss, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for you to eat this kind of food here."
Zheng Changming also shook his head.
How could this girl, who wanted to eat something like five-spice eggs, go to a small roadside restaurant like this?
I'm afraid that in the royal capital, only those higher-end places can eat this kind of food.
Cang Lingxing was also stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Yes, how could there be such a thing as five-spice eggs?
"Boss, I won't make things difficult for you. If you don't have it, forget it."
After Cang Lingxing finished speaking, the boss immediately nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you, young lady. To be honest, we haven't made spiced eggs for a long time."
"It's really difficult for us to suddenly make something like this."
"Well, then... huh? What did you say? It's been a long time since we did it. You mean, you had it here before?"
Cang Lingxing and the other two looked at each other in surprise.
The boss nodded.
"Yeah, there used to be, but it was too cheap."
"Besides, people's tastes are very picky nowadays. They are too lazy to eat snacks like this, so we stopped selling this a long time ago."
These few words made Cang Lingxing and the other two open their eyes wide.
Too cheap?
Too lazy to eat?
How come this is different from what they heard?
"Boss, are you serious? Can everyone here afford five-spice eggs?"
After four weeks, Cang Lingxing asked in surprise.
The boss was amused and said, "Oh, you are such an interesting person."
"Why can't I afford to eat spiced eggs? It's not something good."
"If you don't mind, I can make you some of our signature dishes. Although this small restaurant isn't high-end, the food is still delicious."
These words left Cang Lingxing and the other two stunned.
Zheng Changming said, "Then I'll trouble you, boss."
"Okay, please sit down for a moment."
The boss greeted him and went to work.
The three of them sat in their seats, staring at each other with very strange expressions on their faces.
"People here can actually afford to eat spiced eggs?"
Cang Yuansheng still couldn't accept it and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Exactly. Isn't it said that people in the capital, unless they are high-ranking officials, can't afford to eat spiced eggs?"
Cang Lingxing also felt that his three views had been greatly impacted.
Zheng Changming shook his head and said, "The capital has changed so much now that I can no longer recognize it."
"Just eat something, and then we'll go to Wenxuan Mansion."
After chatting for a while, several dishes were served.
Four dishes and one soup are not very sumptuous.
But this also made the three of them stare with wide eyes.
These dishes are very pleasing to the eye just by looking at the platter.
In Bay State, only the chefs from wealthy and prestigious families could cook dishes that looked this good.
But where is this place?
A small roadside shop!
The three of them even suspected that the owner of this shop might be some famous chef who had lived in seclusion.
After tasting it, the three of them suddenly had a lot of food in front of their eyes.
It tastes delicious and refreshing, has an excellent texture, and leaves a lingering aftertaste.
"Boss, your cooking skills are really good. Are you a famous chef?"
Zheng Changming asked curiously.
The boss laughed out loud when he heard this, obviously very happy.
But he still waved his hands repeatedly.
"You guys are flattering me. I'm just trying to make a living. If I were a famous chef, I wouldn't be opening a small restaurant here."
"There are many people of my level in the capital, many more powerful than me."
"Please eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
After saying hello, the boss walked away.
The three of them looked at the dishes on the table and fell into deep thought.
"Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"
Cang Yuansheng's mouth twitched. "With this level of skill, he could be the head chef of those big hotels in Bay State, but here..."
Cang Lingxing bit her lower lip lightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.
How could this be? If these dishes were served in Bay State, ordinary people would not be able to afford them.
But here it’s just a roadside stall?
At this moment, her sense of superiority suddenly suffered a severe blow.
I deliberately refused to eat these things and maintained my pride.
However, faced with these delicious dishes, Cang Lingxing ended up eating the most.
He even burped shamelessly.
"Well, the prices of these dishes shouldn't be very high, right?"
Suddenly, Cang Lingxing spoke in a low voice.
Zheng Changming and Cang Yuansheng were stunned.
Yes, these dishes are so delicious, are they too expensive?
When they paid the bill, the three of them found that the prices of these dishes were much cheaper than they had imagined, and they couldn't help but be amazed.
"Haha, what are you guys thinking? It's just a few home-cooked dishes, how expensive can they be?"
Hearing this, the three of them blushed in embarrassment and dug their toes into the ground.
They were like people from the mountains who had never seen the world.
"Boss, I came to the capital ten years ago. It looks very different now."
“This road, this building…”
After Zheng Changming finished speaking, the boss smiled proudly and nodded.
"No wonder, it's normal that you don't know."
