Su Wan arrived at a restaurant, but instead of going upstairs, she found a seat in the lobby. The man plopped down opposite her. A waiter trotted over and asked, "What would you two like to order?"
The man with the full braid glanced at Su Wan, thinking that Su Wan would be polite and ask him what he wanted to eat first. However, he stared at Su Wan for a long time but did not see her open her mouth.
People from the Great Jin Dynasty usually exchange pleasantries at the dinner table, so why is this person not saying anything?
Su Wan didn't care what he thought. With a wave of her hand, she ordered everything related to lamb: lamb hot pot, lamb soup, lamb offal noodles...
This area is close to the Western Rong people, and its cuisine is influenced by them, so eating mutton is very common in the Western Rong region. However, people in the Northwest do not like to eat with their hands, as it is considered too uncivilized.
When the waiter brought over the food Su Wan had ordered, Su Wan picked up her chopsticks and began to eat without any hesitation.
"Eat up, it's delicious," she said to the man opposite her. "This is the first time I've ever had such delicious mutton."
The man with a full braid looked at the table full of dishes but hesitated to pick up his chopsticks.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet, big brother," Su Wan picked up another piece of mutton from the steaming hot pot. "Everyone calls me Doctor Su, so please call me Doctor Su from now on."
After hearing Su Wan's self-introduction, the man replied, "My name is Luna."
Su Wan ate with relish, nodding as she ate, "Okay, I'll call you Brother Lu from now on." Then she urged him with ill intent, "What's wrong, Brother Lu? You should eat too."
Seeing that Luna still hadn't moved, she continued, "I just heard Brother Lu say that you Western Rong people are generous and unpretentious, and you don't stand on ceremony when it comes to eating. Come on, eat with your hands, I don't mind."
Damn it, that'll teach you to be arrogant just now. Weren't you Western Rong the most powerful?
However, if Luna really dared to reach into the boiling soup to scoop out the meat, she would truly respect him as a man of courage.
Hehe, was the meal Su Wan treated her to really that delicious?
Luna's face immediately darkened as he looked at the table covered in soup and broth. He had already suspected the kid was doing it on purpose—everything he ordered came with hot soup. Now he was even more certain that the kid was getting revenge for what happened earlier.
He said that the people of the Great Jin were extremely treacherous and cunning.
Su Wan spoke loudly, and everyone in the restaurant lobby heard her. They all turned to look at her. Some looked on with anticipation, while others even started to jeer.
"Yes, I've long heard that the Western Rong people never use chopsticks to eat, but eat with their hands. No wonder those Western Rong people don't go to restaurants when they come to our Great Jin. It turns out they're afraid that we Great Jin people will see them as savage savages."
Of the four kingdoms, apart from Southern Chu, the Western Rong and Northern Frontier were all uncivilized areas for the Great Jin.
All the rituals of the Southern Chu were almost identical to those of the Great Jin.
In the eyes of the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Western Rong and the Northern Frontier were uncivilized lands and were looked down upon by them.
However, both countries possessed extremely high military strength. Fortunately, there was His Highness the Crown Prince in the imperial court, and General Jade Face guarded the border in the northwest, which prevented the Western Rong people from making any rash moves.
That's why they dared to loudly mock the Western Rong man.
Hearing the crowd's laughter, Luna's face showed anger. She suddenly stood up, clenched her fist, and walked towards the person who had led the jeer.
Su Wan stuffed a bite of meat into her mouth and quietly looked at Luna.
Although that man dared to loudly mock the Western Rong people, he didn't dare to fight them. Fortunately, this was the Great Jin Dynasty. He gave a look to his men, and they all stood up.
Luna wasn't afraid at all. He had always looked down on these men who only knew how to talk big. These men were not as good as the little brother Su in front of him. At least the little brother Su dared to tease him.
Seeing that both sides had already set up their formations, and just as Luna was about to raise his fist to smash the other side, Su Wan suddenly spoke up: "Brother Lu, wait a minute, your roasted mutton is here."
She still wanted to find out about the Western Rong from this person, so how could she let him really hate them?
Luna paused, turning back to look at Su Wan.
Su Wan smiled at him, and at that moment the waiter brought up the roasted lamb leg.
"I was just joking with Brother Lu. Today is my treat, so why should I only care about my own preferences? Come on, let's drink and eat!" She stood up and pulled him back.
Luna was initially annoyed by Su Wan's teasing and planned to teach those who egged him on before settling scores with her. However, he was wrong; Su Wan had actually ordered his favorite roasted lamb leg.
"Brother Lu is a hero, why bother arguing with those people? Come on, let's have a good drink."
Luna was a rough man who loved to drink. After hearing Su Wan's words, he glared at the others and followed Su Wan back to the table.
Those men breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Luna retreat. To be honest, although they could have rushed at him all at once, none of them wanted to lose their lives; these Western Rong people were fearless in battle.
It is said that the kings of the Western Rong all ascended to the throne by challenging the previous king, which has become an unwritten rule in the Western Rong. Therefore, the martial people of the Western Rong have the highest combat strength among the four kingdoms.
Su Wan filled the glass and handed it to Lu Na, saying, "Brother Lu, I'd like to ask if you still have any of those seeds left."
The seeds she was referring to were the cotton seeds she had just bought from him.
Luna took a sip of wine, tore off a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth: "There is some, but not much. Only those who are too poor to survive use that stuff to keep warm."
Su Wan's eyes flashed. It seemed that people in the Western Rong region had already started using it, but they were only using it to stuff clothing and didn't know how to use cotton to make cotton cloth.
