Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Private room on the fourth floor. There were already a dozen plates in front of Cheng Chumo. Lan 'er and Li Zexuan had already put down their chopsticks and were watching Cheng Chumo eat and drink to his heart's content. According to Drunken Immortal Restaurant's portions, ten chicken pieces were counted as a portion. Li Zexuan estimated that Cheng Chumo alone had eaten eighteen portions. Without Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi by his side, he had even less scruples and ate as if he was flying.
Lan 'er asked curiously, "Big Brother Black Face, you've eaten so much. Why hasn't your stomach gotten bigger? Where did you put those gnawed chickens? "
"Pfft!" Cheng Chumo had just taken a sip of wine, but upon hearing this, he choked and spat it out. Li Zexuan's figure flashed, pulling Lan 'er to avoid this fellow's saliva. Luckily, I'm agile. Li Zexuan secretly rejoiced.
Cheng Chumo felt wronged. "Lan 'er, you can't say that about Big Brother Chou Niu. Your Big Brother Chou Niu can eat so much and still not get fat. Isn't that also a skill?"
"Pfft, Big Brother Chou Niu, you're really thick-skinned." Lan 'er giggled.
Cheng Chumo finally couldn't eat anymore after eating twenty portions. The three of them laughed and joked for a while before leaving Drunken Immortal Restaurant, each returning to their own homes.
When they left, Shopkeeper Liu looked bitterly at Cheng Chumo. This fellow had eaten twenty portions of gnawed chicken by himself. When he left, he even took away five portions, saying that he was taking them back to show filial piety to his father. Drunken Immortal Restaurant only provided two hundred portions a day, and this beast alone had taken twenty-five portions. Shopkeeper Liu wailed in his heart, hoping that the young master wouldn't bring this beast to Drunken Immortal Restaurant to eat next time.
Taiji Palace.
At this moment, Changsun and Changle were no longer present. Li Er sat alone on the dragon throne, frowning and deep in thought. The hall was silent. After a long time, Li Er's voice rang out in the hall.
"Zhao Song, send someone to investigate Li Zexuan's background, especially his activities in the past month. See if he deliberately approached Chengqian and Changle."
As an emperor, Li Er was very careful in everything he did. Of course, if Li Zexuan were here, he would definitely say that Li Er had a persecutory delusion. He felt that there were always unruly people who wanted to harm his … children.
The old eunuch floated out of nowhere and bowed to Li Er, saying, "Yes."
Then, in a flash, he disappeared again.
Silence was restored in the hall.
But today, Chang 'an City was not quiet. In the afternoon, the popularity of the chicken at Zuixian Restaurant in the West Market had spread through the entire Chang 'an through word of mouth. Those who had eaten it naturally praised it as a rare delicacy in the world. Those who had not eaten it naturally salivated after hearing the descriptions of those who had eaten it and looked forward to buying a serving to try it the next day. Although one serving would cost a lot, there were many rich people in Chang' an City who could afford it.
The Gnawing Chicken finally became famous in Chang 'an after a day of being popular! The Zuixian Restaurant's reputation was also thoroughly established.
By the time Li Zexuan and Lan 'er arrived home, Li Jingmo had also heard the news of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant eating the chicken. It was Shopkeeper Liu who had sent the news to him. He really hadn't expected that it would cause such a huge commotion in Chang' an and also thoroughly make the name of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant famous.
Even more surprising was the profit from the Gnawing Chicken itself. The price was five times the cost. Even if there were only 200 servings a day, the profit from the Gnawing Chicken alone was 160 strings of cash. This could be considered a huge profit. In the long run, the profit from the Gnawing Chicken would be an astronomical figure.
During dinner, Li Jingmo finally could not help but ask Li Zexuan, "Xuan 'er, how did you come up with that Gnawing Chicken?"
Madam Li also knew that her son had made a new dish called Gnawing Chicken and that it had become popular throughout Chang 'an City. She was also very happy and looked at her son curiously.
* Cough * Can I say that I learned it from Baidu?
Of course not. Li Zexuan could only continue to bluff, "Father, I've told you before that my master is not only proficient in martial arts, but also in cooking. This Gnawing Chicken is one of the delicacies I learned from my master. You don't have to make a fuss about it. My master is very knowledgeable and the disciples he taught are naturally outstanding. It's just that my master's nature is indifferent and does not like to interact with outsiders, so the world does not know of my master's talent. So, Father, Mother, if your son has any amazing performance in the future, you two don't have to make a fuss about it. Just slowly get used to it. "
In order to not be questioned by his parents over small matters in the future, Li Zexuan could only throw away his face.
Li Jingmo unhappily glared at his son who did not have any sense of shame.
Madam Li covered her mouth and laughed, "Child, why are you speaking as inappropriately as your father when he was young? Did your master also teach you how to be thick-skinned? Xuan 'er, Mother found that your face is much thicker than when you were young. "
Father Li's old face darkened. He was innocently implicated again. Li Zexuan was also embarrassed by his mother's teasing.
At this moment, Lan 'er also jeered, "Brother is thick-skinned, hehe ~ ~"
.....
Duke Lu's Estate.
A black-faced man with a face full of beard was eating Gnawing Chicken and drinking wine in the front hall. He was extremely satisfied.
"Chou Niu, where did you buy this thing? How come I, Old Cheng, have never eaten it before?"
Cheng Chumo took credit and said, "Father, this is a brother I just made. His restaurant just released a new dish called Gnawing Chicken. You don't know, but the line in front of the restaurant today was very long. Moreover, it was limited to 200 servings a day. If it was not for my brother, Father, you would not be able to eat such delicacies today."
Cheng Yaojin laughed in a rough voice and said, "Yes, my Chou Niu is filial. However, your brother is too stingy. He only gave me this little. It's not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. Later, you have to talk to him properly. How can he be so stingy to his own brother? Next time, ask your brother to send me a plate of Gnawing … Gnawing Chicken!"
Cheng Chumo was sweating profusely. The Emperor only ate two servings, and you ate five servings alone. Cheng Chumo did not expect his father to be even more shameless than him.
Cheng Yaojin said again, "Chou Niu, tell your father about your brother. Old Cheng is quite interested in the person who can think of this Gnawing Chicken."
Cheng Chumo knew that his father wanted to check him out. He was afraid that he would not be careful in making friends, so he told Cheng Yaojin about the things that happened in the past two days, as well as the information he had gathered in private about Li Zexuan's situation.
After a long time, Cheng Yaojin nodded and said, "Yes, from what you said, this child is a person who values friendship and righteousness. Not bad, not bad. You said that he also knows martial arts?"
"Yes, Father. I heard that he studied martial arts at Mount Longhu for eight years. His master is Mount Longhu's Great Elder, Spiritual Master Ling Xu, who is also a Great Grandmaster expert in the martial arts world. Moreover, I saw that Li Zexuan's lower body was very stable and his steps were vigorous. I'm afraid that his martial arts skills are above mine. "
"Oh? Then invite him to the manor some other day. I, Old Cheng, will exchange a few blows with him. The world is at peace, and there are no more wars to fight. I, Old Cheng, am sick from boredom at home every day. You can ask that Li family boy to come over. This old man will treat it as giving pointers to the younger generation, haha! "
When Old Cheng heard this, he was suddenly very interested in Li Zexuan.
At this moment, Cheng Chumo could only mourn for his good brother in his heart.
