Chapter 33: City-wide banquet
Inside the inn.
Many men and women sat around the table, some eating, some drinking, and the atmosphere was very cheerful and lively.
Looking at the situation inside, Jiang Ming was a little surprised.
If it were more than ten thousand years ago, mortals would never have such a lively scene. After all, avoiding the attacks of monsters was enough to make them terrified all day long.
I have to say that life for ordinary people nowadays is indeed much better than before.
"Sir, please come in. Would you like to have something to eat? Our inn has many famous signature dishes, such as braised pork elbow and spicy diced rabbit..."
"In short, whether it's flying in the sky, walking on the ground, or swimming in the water, we have them all here!"
The waiter had an extremely confident smile on his face and patted his chest and said.
When Jiang Ming heard this, he also laughed.
"You talk quite a lot, but I don't need to eat." Jiang Ming said calmly.
Ever since he started practicing fasting, he no longer needs to eat.
The grains of the mortal world are actually harmful to the Dantian for practitioners. So he has not eaten food since more than 10,000 years ago.
After hearing what Jiang Ming said, the waiter was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Sir, you look like you are from out of town, right?"
"Today is a big day for our Yongdao City. The Liang family and the Yu family, two great families, are getting married and have booked all the inns and taverns in the city. All the food is free. Isn't this a good omen for the guest? It's all free anyway."
The waiter wiped his hands and said with a smile.
Jiang Ming was a little surprised when he heard it.
He didn't expect that he would encounter such a good thing just after arriving in Yongdao City. It seems that his luck today is really good.
"Okay then, just give me a jar of good wine and make two dishes." Jiang Ming said.
"Okay! Please come in, sir." The waiter led the way with a smile.
Jiang Ming came to a narrow table in the corner and sat alone. It was relatively quiet here.
Here, you can also see how prosperous the business of this inn is. There are almost no seats missing in the entire inn, and people at every table are chatting happily.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Ming seemed to be in a much happier mood.
"Hey, why do you think the Yu family is so eager to marry their daughter to the Liang family? After all, the Yu family is a first-class family in our Yongdao City."
"You've asked the right person. I actually know some inside information."
"What's the inside story? Tell me about it."
At this time, the people sitting at the table on Jiang Ming's right were drinking and talking about the Liang and Yu families.
The man took a sip of wine and talked cheerfully with a smile.
"Some time ago, the young master of the Liang family was noticed by the Xuanming Sect."
"The Xuanming Sect is a well-known first-class sect in the current continent. Although it is both good and evil, for the Liang family, doesn't this mean that they are related to the Xuanming Sect?"
"Originally, the Liang family and the Yu family were not much different in strength. Now that the Liang family has embraced the power of the Xuanming Sect, they naturally set their sights on the Yu family's only youngest daughter."
"Besides, I heard that the Yu family has high requirements. The Liang family will probably have to pay a large sum of money for the marriage proposal this time. Do you think it's so easy to marry the daughter of the Yu family?"
The man who knew the inside story drank his wine and explained with an expression that he understood everything.
Now with the protection of the noble families, ordinary people can live a very stable life in the city.
However, for ordinary people, sect power, especially powerful sect power, is still an unattainable level.
Especially in this period of weakening spiritual energy, if one wants to stand out from the crowd, they need to demonstrate very strong talents and abilities. Otherwise, they can only stay in the city honestly and be a low-level mortal.
Being able to be associated with a sect, especially a first-class sect, is undoubtedly a great honor for a small town like theirs.
"When I have money, I will also propose marriage!"
"You? That's wishful thinking. You might as well wait until you are lucky enough to be noticed by a sect before you daydream."
"Isn't this just a casual remark?"
As they talked, they started eating and drinking again, having a great time.
As they listened, the waiter quickly brought up the wine and food.
Jiang Ming took a look and found that the dishes were quite good.
"Sir, please enjoy your meal and drink. If you need anything, just let me know!"
The waiter said this with a smile, and then started to shout in a hurry to other places.
Looking at the three plates of delicious food in front of him, Jiang Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, wondering how long it had been since he had eaten a real hot dish? Thinking of this, Jiang Ming picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat to taste.
Suddenly!
The tender meat and the seasonings on it spread instantly in the mouth. The fatty but not greasy taste coupled with the very fresh sauce makes it feel like a person is breathing the purest air on the grassland.
"this……"
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had found the meaning of living. What about immortals not eating grains? Bullshit!
Such delicious food overflowed in the mouth, isn't this more exciting than the boring days of cultivating immortals? After tasting the first delicious meal after more than ten thousand years, Jiang Ming immediately buried his head in the food and drank directly from the wine jar. In the eyes of others, this behavior was like someone who hadn't eaten for several days.
"This little brother's eating manner is too exaggerated..."
"Who cares? Anyway, we are not paying for all the expenses today. Come on, let's drink our own."
"drink!"
After three rounds of drinking.
Before he knew it, the front of Jiang Ming was filled with empty plates, and the waiter who first saw Jiang Ming felt a little embarrassed.
He originally thought that Jiang Ming was just here to join in the fun, but he didn't expect that he ate even more than those warriors. The key point was that Jiang Ming didn't look strong, so how could his stomach hold so much?
But he didn't care. After all, the more these people spent, the more their inn would earn.
Seeing Jiang Ming finished eating, the waiter stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Is your meal okay, sir?"
Jiang Ming nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."
The waiter smiled naively.
In fact, he was thinking, you eat so voraciously, as if you haven't eaten for three days, but it's not bad? After all, since he started working as a waiter, he has never seen someone who eats so much.
"By the way, I want to ask something." Jiang Ming asked.
"Sir, please tell me, I am quite well-informed in this Yongdao City!" The waiter answered confidently, patting his chest.
Jiang Ming smiled and nodded: "I want to ask, which force is so generous that it can make everyone in the city happy and eat?"
The waiter smiled and said, "You may not know this since you are from outside, but this happy event was also initiated by the head of the Yu family himself. All the expenses in the city today will be covered by the Yu family. They are truly wealthy and powerful!"
Oh? Jiang Ming was a little surprised to hear this news.
"But I just heard that it was the Liang family who proposed the marriage, so why is it the Yu family who is paying for it?" Jiang Ming asked with interest.
Hearing Jiang Ming's words, the waiter shuddered all over.
"Ouch! Little brother, you'd better be careful with what you say!" said the waiter in a panic.
