In the private room on the fourth floor.
Li Zexuan pushed open the door and entered. Instantly, the gazes of the few people in the room all gathered on him. The smell was really too fragrant, and the appearance was also very good.
"Wow, is this the new delicious food that brother made? It looks delicious, Lan 'er wants to eat! "
Lan 'er excitedly went forward to take the chicken with her hands.
Li Zexuan quickly pushed Lan 'er's hands away, "Go go go, it's hot, use chopsticks! Come, Xiao He, Xiao Xi, Ah Fu, San Bao, try it too! "
After saying that, he placed a large plate of fried chicken on the table!
Lan 'er impatiently picked up a piece of chicken and put it into her mouth. Her small mouth bit on the fragrant and soft chicken, and her cute big eyes narrowed into a line. While eating, she exclaimed,
"En en, it's really delicious. Brother, what's the name of this?"
"Brother named this food Kentucky Fried Chicken. Lan 'er, don't speak when you eat, be careful not to choke."
After saying that, he dotingly rubbed Lan 'er's little head and said to the other four people,
"Don't just stand there, come and try it. There's so much, Lan 'er can't finish it all by herself. Don't care about so many rules, follow Young Master and you will have meat to eat. "
Xiao He, Ah Fu, and San Bao impatiently picked up a piece of chicken and began to wolf it down. Only Xiao Xi was more reserved, and she ate in small bites. This little servant girl had always been more gentle and quiet, but from her slightly raised lips, it could be seen that she was eating happily.
"Sob sob, Young Master, this is the most delicious thing that San Bao has ever eaten in her life. This chicken is really too delicious."
The uncultured San Bao suddenly cried while eating.
"Then why are you crying? If it's delicious, eat it. No one is stopping you."
Li Zexuan was rather speechless. Eating a piece of fried chicken could actually make someone cry.
"Young Master, but San Bao can't eat anymore."
Xiao He and Ah Fu at the side nodded with a bitter face.
In fact, this was also difficult for the three of them. As servants, it was rare for someone to bring them to such a high-end restaurant for a feast, and the young master didn't dislike them and let them eat together.
The food in this restaurant might not be considered delicious in the eyes of Lan 'er and Li Zexuan, but in the eyes of these people, it was a delicacy. Therefore, when Li Zexuan and Lan' er put down their chopsticks and did not want to eat anymore, they opened their stomachs and ate boldly. When Li Zexuan came back from the kitchen, more than a dozen dishes on the table had basically been finished. Now, facing the even more delicious fried chicken, they really wanted to cry but had no tears.
Li Zexuan looked at the dozen or so empty plates in front of him and understood what was going on.
"Oh, that's a pity. Such a delicious thing is unique in the Great Tang. Lan-er, Little Xi, since they can't eat it, let's destroy it, haha."
Lan-er's face was also filled with joy. Fortunately, she didn't eat too much just now. She didn't have time to talk and just kept eating.
Xiao He and the other two looked at the tempting chicken and drooled. Although they were full, they still couldn't bear to part with such delicious food. The three of them resolutely attacked the fried chicken. With such delicious food, it was worth it even if they were stuffed to death. San Bao thought so tragically.
After a while, the six of them really couldn't eat anymore, but there were still five pieces of chicken left on the plate.
At this moment, a voice came from the door.
"Little brother, since you can't eat anymore, why don't you give the rest to me?"
Li Zexuan turned his head and saw that it was the dark and thin man he met at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Although his clothes weren't gorgeous, he had an intimidating aura. Li Zexuan didn't dare to underestimate him and cupped his hands.
"Old brother, if you really want to eat, why don't you wait until tomorrow and let old brother eat the leftovers? This little brother is truly lacking in manners."
"It's fine, it's fine. Old Cheng doesn't care about these things. Oh, this one is Cheng Chumo. How should I address you, little brother?"
Cheng Chumo repeatedly waved his hands to show that he didn't care. In truth, he didn't want to thicken his skin and come here. He was the eldest son of the Cheng Clan, so how could he be so shameless? But after smelling the fragrance of the fried chicken, he felt like his heart was being scratched by a hundred claws. Looking at the plate in front of him, he found it tasteless.
So this fellow was Cheng Chumo, the son of the Demon King of Chaos Cheng Yaojin. He couldn't offend him. Li Zexuan was inwardly alarmed and hurriedly cupped his hands.
"This little brother is Li Zexuan. This is my little sister, Li Zelan. Since Brother Cheng doesn't mind, then sit down and eat together. It's truly lacking in manners to let Brother Cheng eat this today. Tomorrow, I'll set up another banquet and treat Brother Cheng to a good meal. How about it?"
Hearing this, Cheng Chumo grinned and heavily patted Li Zexuan's shoulder.
"Haha, Brother Li is straightforward. I, Old Cheng, will definitely take you as a brother. Hey, little sister Lan 'er is really beautiful. Today, Brother Cheng didn't bring a gift, I'll make it up to Lan' er tomorrow."
After saying this, he found a seat and sat down. He laughed and said, "Haha, just now you were imitating those literati words. It was so sour."
Li Zexuan was speechless. No wonder he felt that the style was wrong. How could Cheng Yaojin's son be so scholarly?
After being praised by Cheng Chumo, Lan 'er shyly hugged Li Zexuan's arm and lowered her head, not saying a word.
Cheng Chumo saw that Li Zexuan was still unperturbed after being patted twice, and he was a little surprised. His two pats just now had the intention to test Li Zexuan, so he used thirty percent of his strength. Ordinary people would not be able to withstand it, so he praised, "Brother Li's skills are not bad."
Li Zexuan smiled slightly.
"I know a little about martial arts. Brother Cheng seems to be a straightforward person. Quickly sit down and eat together!"
At this moment, Cheng Chumo remembered the purpose of coming over. He immediately shifted his target to the golden crispy fried chicken. He didn't hold back and immediately put a piece of chicken into his mouth. After chewing twice and tasting the flavor, he immediately swallowed it in big mouthfuls like a cow chewing on peonies. He even gave a thumbs up and praised.
"This is really a delicacy. I've eaten so much food for so many years for nothing!"
Not long after, the pieces of fried chicken were completely devoured. Cheng Chumo obviously wanted more and said, "It's really delicious.
This is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life! "
Then he asked doubtfully, "Brother Li, why did the Drunken Immortal Restaurant let you taste the new food they released today?"
After eating the delicacy of his dreams, this guy's intelligence finally returned to normal and he thought of the crux of the problem.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "I won't hide it from Brother Cheng. This Drunken Immortal Restaurant is my father's business. Today, this little brother suddenly had an idea and taught the chef to make this new food. I wanted to try it and see if it was delicious."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Brother, next time you make a new food, don't forget about me, haha!" Cheng Chumo patted Li Zexuan and said.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Liu came in and cupped his hands towards Li Zexuan.
"Young Master, this old man just tasted the chicken. It's really a delicacy. I just don't know if Young Master can sell this chicken in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant?"
Old Liu looked at Li Zexuan with a hopeful expression.
When Li Zexuan left, he impatiently asked Wang Erhu to make some fried chicken for him. After tasting it, he almost swallowed his tongue. He had eaten many delicacies over the years, but he had never eaten anything that could be compared to this fried chicken.
Thus, Old Liu thought that if this chicken was sold in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, it would definitely cause a great sensation. Thus, he eagerly ran over and asked for Li Zexuan's opinion.
"Yes, Uncle Liu, I was just about to talk to you about this matter. Tomorrow, you can put this KFC on the restaurant's menu. There will be a limit of 200 servings per day. It's first come, first served.
"Yes, yes, Young Master is wise!"
Old Liu had been doing business for many years. He immediately understood Li Zexuan's intentions and his face was full of admiration. Then he asked,
"Young Master, how much is the price of this chicken?"
Li Zexuan thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Liu, do you have a rough estimate of the cost of each serving?"
Only then did Shopkeeper Liu notice Cheng Chumo in the room. He hesitated for a moment. Li Zexuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry.
This is my brother. If he comes to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant in the future, Uncle Liu, you must treat him well. "
Cheng Chumo was touched.
Shopkeeper Liu then said, "Young Master, the process of making this chicken is not difficult. The main problem is that the sesame oil used is quite expensive. The cost of each serving is about 200 copper coins."
"Well, then let's set the price as usual. Don't set it too high. I want all the people in Chang 'an City to be able to eat this delicacy! Haha. "
Everyone in the room was speechless. A serving of this chicken was not expensive. Do you think all the people in Chang 'an City are as rich as you?
Shopkeeper Liu thought carefully. Such a delicacy could be eaten with money. It was indeed not expensive. He happily flattered,
"Young Master is so benevolent! But why is this dish called Chicken Nibbled? It's so strange. "
He muttered in his heart, "Why does this chicken need to be nibbled? Can't it just bite it with its mouth?"
Li Zexuan also knew that the ancient people would find the name Kentucky Fried Chicken strange, but he did not expect Old Liu to think so far. He said, "Kentucky Fried Chicken is quite good. Let's use this name."
Well, we must respect the originality!
What else could Shopkeeper Liu say? He could only express his agreement and then leave.
In the room, he chatted with Cheng Chumo again. Feeling that it was time to leave, he asked Lan 'er, "Lan' er, do you still want to go to Xi City?"
Lan 'er rubbed her swollen belly and shook her head bitterly. She said, "Brother, let's wait a little longer. I'm so full that I can't walk."
Hearing this, except for him and Cheng Chumo, everyone in the room nodded in agreement.
Li Zexuan felt quite funny. "Well, then let's wait a little longer!"
Hearing this, Lan 'er rolled her eyes and went forward to hug Li Zexuan's hand.
"Brother, you haven't finished the story you told this morning. Why don't you tell Lan 'er now?"
Li Zexuan was a little reluctant. He only had a little stock in his stomach, and he had already told so much in the morning. At this rate, it would not be long before it was all gone.
But seeing the hopeful faces of Lan 'er and the maidservants, he could not bear to not tell them.
"Well, then let's talk for a while. Last time, when the Great Sage Equalling Heaven wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he was locked in the Eight Trigrams Furnace by Taishang Laojun. He saw Wukong jumping around in the furnace and accidentally jumped to the position of the Xun Palace. There was only smoke and no fire, so the smell was very strong. He bent down and squatted inside. After 49 days, Taishang Laojun gave the order to open the furnace door. Suddenly, Wukong heard a sound from the top of the furnace. He looked up and saw a ray of light. He used all his strength to jump out of the furnace, kicked down the furnace, turned around, and ran … "
Everyone quieted down and listened attentively. Although Cheng Chumo did not hear the first three times, just listening to the latter part was quite interesting. Soon, he was conquered by this unconstrained story.
"… Tang Sanzang saw that he already knew his mistake, so he stopped talking. Wukong's head immediately stopped hurting. He thought that this incantation must have been taught by Guanyin Bodhisattva, so he clamored to go to the South Sea to find Guanyin Bodhisattva to settle the score. Tang Sanzang said, "Since she can teach me this Band Tightening Incantation, she must also know how to chant the incantation!" Wukong took a deep breath and stopped messing around. He swore that he would listen to his master in the future and protect Tang Sanzang in his journey to the West. Alright, that's all for today. "
After telling them two more chapters of "Journey to the West", Li Zexuan saw that it was getting late. He guessed that Lan 'er and the others should be able to walk, so he stopped talking. Everyone had a look of pity on their faces.
After bidding farewell to Cheng Chumo and making an appointment to meet again tomorrow, Li Zexuan left the Drunken Immortal Restaurant with Lan 'er and the others. As for the money for the meal, Li Zexuan chuckled. Did it cost money to eat in his restaurant?
