"So! The soup you're drinking was praised by even the emperor!"
"Is that recipe still there?" Xiao Lu asked.
"Alas! What a pity! This recipe has been passed down for generations, but during the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, due to constant wars and when the capital moved south, my ancestor's grandson fled and ended up losing the recipe!"
"That's a pity!" Xiao Lu said, "I'll find it for you when I have a chance."
"Young man! How can we find this recipe that's been lost for hundreds of years?"
"Maybe!" Xiao Lu said, "I came to Luoyang this time to look for treasures from the Later Tang Dynasty. Maybe I can find another recipe you mentioned?"
"Young man, are you an archaeologist?" the boss was curious.
"My grandfather is the expert. I'm just a novice who helps my uncle deal in old stuff!" Xiao Lu said with a smile.
"Oh! Isn't this Lu Guansheng? It's Lu Guansheng, right?" At this time, a young guest came in and recognized Xiao Lu.
"No way? Maybe they look alike! Lu Guansheng should be managing the company in Jincheng, why would he come to Luoyang?" His friend expressed doubt.
"Go and ask, go and ask!" the little woman insisted.
"Young man, you said you were from Jincheng. Are you the person they were talking about? Are you very famous?" The proprietress also heard their conversation.
"Huh? Got discovered?" Xiao Lu scratched his head. "Being famous doesn't count, right? Maybe it's because I look more like an internet celebrity, so I'm easier to recognize, right?"
"Oh my! A celebrity has come to our house!" the boss said with a smile. "What a good sign!"
"Ah! Did you hear that? It's really Lu Guansheng!" The woman pulled the man up to take a photo and check in.
Xiao Lu did not refuse, and even pulled the boss and the boss's wife into the camera, saying that it would have an advertising effect!
Well, before they even finished their mutton soup, the internet went viral again! The photo of the five people with a bowl of mutton soup quickly spread across the internet. Within an hour, the restaurant was packed!
Is this the advertising effect of online celebrity check-ins? The boss and his wife were grinning from ear to ear, and even gossiped that Xiao Lu had helped make the soup himself!
Now, this mutton soup restaurant is even more popular!
After eating, Xiao Lu packed up another large bowl, fled the scene, and rode his motorcycle back to the B&B.
"Xiao Lu! You've only been out for half a day, and you've already made my face a hot topic?" Old Lu was sitting on the sofa. Seeing Xiao Lu coming back, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The Queen contacted him just now and said that he was on the trending search again. When I opened the webpage, I was really shocked!
"Your face? It's obviously my own face!" Xiao Lu handed the mutton soup to Lao Lu, along with a plate of pot stickers. "Eat it while it's hot, it's so delicious!"
