Chapter 92 Mercenary King
Compared to the noisy in the hall, five people were quietly crowded on a four-person dining table in the corner where the old man was.
Lu Chen asked Rafitta to sit next to the old man, and casually pulled a chair to sit and added a seat. Then he naturally took out the chopsticks he made when he was fine from the space ring, taught several people how to eat noodle soup, and placed several seasonings given by the teacher on the table, telling everyone to add them by themselves if they felt that the taste was not enough.
Put the noodles in the soup and cook them. There is a world where there is no such thing as this, but they are all prepared for people who are not full after the meal. There is also some poor families who cannot afford to eat meat. They use sparse meat and noodles in the soup. This way of eating them not only has no taste, but the noodles can also easily turn into mushy.
But Lu Chen's method is more like eating noodles for the sake of eating noodles. The main ingredients of broth and fried pork have become foils, and everyone is a little confused at once.
However, Rafitta didn't have much concern. As Lu Chen's accompanying, she was very happy that the first one to follow Lu Chen's teachings, and used chopsticks to hold noodles and vegetables into her mouth. Then she looked at Lu Chen in surprise. After showing a very enjoyable smile, she stopped caring about others and continued to eat. Apart from being really hungry, the most important thing is that she knew what table etiquette she was concerned about, so he would probably be unhappy.
Ruiyi glanced at Parn beside him, and when he saw him nodding, he carefully followed the sample and tried it. He frowned a little as soon as he got it in his mouth, and seemed to be burned. After slapping his mouth cutely, he started eating as happily as Rafita.
"Don't worry, use chopsticks to pick loose noodles while eating, otherwise it will be no longer delicious after a long time. You have to eat this schnitzel, don't just eat noodles." After saying that, Lu Chen also started to do it. After so long, he finally could eat the lunch that he felt boring when he saw it on Earth, and he still felt indescribable joy in his heart.
Seeing that everyone was eating, Paine smiled and nodded to the old man, he started eating without hesitation. After taking a bite, he regretted that he didn't put his space ring on, so that his younger brother might have to take off all his clothes and go out. But it was just thinking about it. If he really wanted to do that, his father would probably be the first to skin him.
The old man didn't say much. He had eaten the fried pork strips and clear soup that Lu Chen gave him. If you eat it alone, it felt ordinary and delicious. But with wine, there was absolutely nothing to say. Now, I've eaten it almost anyway. I just used this bowl of noodles to fill the spare part in my stomach. As a result, I couldn't put the bowl as soon as I ate it, as if someone would rob him.
After the five of them happily finished eating, the old man stood up and was about to leave quietly, but after Lu Chen said, "Don't you want to eat more delicious fresh food?", he could only sigh and sit back on his seat.
Seeing the old man, he still didn't want to speak first, Lu Chen had to say first: "I said, old man, there is no free lunch in the world. After you eat this unique meal in the world, there is nothing to say. I, a junior, must speak first. Even if you are a master, you should be handsome and shameless."
"Haha, you little guy is so rude. You actually said this to me, what's wrong with the master? Besides, I'm not as good as tall..." The old man said as if he was very angry.
"There is a saying in my hometown that pretending to be B will be struck by lightning. The eyes of the gods are sharp. If you are not afraid of not having the chance to eat delicious food in the future, stand in the middle of the road and try it." Lu Chen directly interrupted him and threatened him secretly.
The old man didn't believe he would be struck by lightning, but the second to last sentence made him dare not resist again: "Okay, how much do you want? Can't I pay it?"
"You old man is really not honest. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. You have also seen this bowl of noodles with a space ring and a sixth-level magic core, and also reputation, face, etc., you can say how much you should pay." Lu Chen simply acted like a scoundrel. He didn't believe that the old man would be an ordinary person like this. People who can eat in this place are either rich or noble. Besides, he has sat down again for the delicious food. He is definitely a boss, because only those who don't need to consider life will focus on some special hobbies and ignore the eyes of others.
"Boy, you're blackmailing." The old man jumped up all of a sudden.
"Luheen~"
"Little Luxi~"
Parn and Rafitta also spoke one after another, and they couldn't stand it anymore. It was no longer an exaggeration to have a bowl of noodles costing more than 100 million.
Lu Chen didn't care and took out a few unknown fruits from the space ring and distributed them. Although he ate the fruit immediately after a meal and did not meet the health standards, it was still a very comfortable thing.
After a while of silence, the old man sat down again, picked up the fruit on the table and took a bite and said, "Little guy, no one dared to talk to me like this for more than ten years. Well, for the sake of your courage, let's talk about what you want."
Paine and Rafita, who were already a little embarrassed for Lu Chen's lion's mouth, were stunned immediately. Ruiyi, who was standing beside him, even covered her head with her hands, as if the thinking in her head was already knotted. No one expected that the angry old man would surrender immediately.
The whole table was left with the sound of Lu Chen and the old man gnawing fruits, but then Lu Chen said something that made them collapse directly.
"Well, what else do you do besides eating? Hehe, I'm not familiar with you yet. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lucien Sales. I just came to Phines Academy and haven't decided what to study yet." Lu Chen said a little embarrassedly, pretending to be a very pure person.
"Puff~ hahaha... You little guy is really a mess." After hearing what Lu Chen said, the old man laughed happily and then continued: "Okay, okay, just look at these seasonings that are rarely enjoyable in the royal family. Tell me, as long as I can do, I will never refuse. As for what I can do, don't you guess very much, so continue to guess."
"Hehe, old man, you're very unkind."
"Well, I learned from someone."
"...Okay, you said that, I'm not polite, Red Thorn Flower, have you heard of it?"
"Well, a nice group of girls."
"I don't have anything special to want. Can you help me find some good enough equipment? Money is not a problem!" Lu Chen said solemnly. He visited the equipment stores in the East and West cities as soon as he came, but he didn't see what satisfies him. Although Verona already thought that the equipment was very well-equipped, Lu Chen never thought that those could help the girls.
After looking at Lu Chen quietly for a while, the old man said, "I understand, it's forty-six sets, a week, but you have to make some decent and delicious food. Although this noodles are more delicious than the things here, they should be just ordinary things for you, right?"
"Haha, you always laughed. There are many ways to treat each other. You are not talented, you can only know this simple one. If you don't have enough time, you can't master the taste well. But don't worry, after you go back, I will teach you my skills to very talented people, which will definitely satisfy you. As for equipment, you can give one hundred. They should increase the number of people during this period. I believe you also know their fighting style, so as to leave some spares, so as not to cause trouble for you a few more times." Lu Chen, who was in a very happy mood, suddenly became respectful and even said the words of the earth unconsciously.
Hearing a few words that were a bit stubborn but very easy to talk, looking at the other party's completely different respectful attitude from the pretentious scoundrel before, the old man smiled meaningfully, and then said: "Boy, don't be so serious, it's as relaxing as before. One hundred is one hundred, and those girls are lucky enough to meet you, but delicious food requires double portions."
"Hehe, sure, sure, there will definitely be some places that you need to help in the future."
"Haha, you're really...well, as long as you get more delicious food, it's easy to discuss. Then, let's get here today. This meal has been long enough. My name is Farns, don't forget to tell those girls, otherwise if I get stopped at your door in a week, I'll raise the price." As he said that, the old man stood up and left.
Lu Chen didn't say anything anymore, stood up with the three of them and watched him leave. Then the four of them walked out of the Lei Busen Hotel, which had almost returned to normal.
The result of the bet is naturally self-evident. Just the extremely delicious bone soup stewed with tricks is already destined to win Lu Chen. In such a world with limited seasonings, all those who have drunk fresh soup will never feel that they can taste much more delicious when they eat Lei Busen's signature dish. Instead, the light noodles and vegetables make people feel more comfortable.
At the same time, the victory won by this method also made Lei Busen's chefs never find a clue. They who are focused on the taste of the food would not have thought of this at all. No one thought about what would happen if they had eaten the food from Lei Busen Hotel first.
On the street, Paen was so shocked by what happened that he didn't know how to walk out of the hotel that he remembered that he didn't even pay the bill, but what he couldn't understand was what the old man was. Among the ministers in the court, he didn't remember anyone like this. He agreed to Lu Chen's request so casually for a meal.
Looking at Lu Chen walking beside him again. Although he didn't know what his mysterious identity was, the old man's evaluation of those bottles of seasonings combined with the familiar handwriting he saw, Pahn had another fantasy understanding in his heart: he wouldn't be the illegitimate son of the national teacher, right?
"Look at me, what you should look at is her by your side." Lu Chen pointed at Ruiyi who was walking beside him.
"Haha, nothing, I'm just thinking about how you can see that the old man is extraordinary." Although it came out casually, this question made Paen's look at Lu Chen even more strange.
"Tsk, what's the matter? Isn't the novels written that way? The masters are all like that. They dress ordinary and like to sit in the corner to do what they like, especially the old man, who has a paranoid desire for wine and food, and they all like to cheat and eat from children." Lu Chen said nonsense without caring, but it sounds different in the ears of those who are interested.
After thinking about it carefully, Paine found that this was indeed the case. Not to mention this old man, even he often likes to sit alone in the cafeteria, making some delicious food, and watching all kinds of people and things in the mobile crowd, even his father and some very capable ministers would be seen doing the same thing on certain occasions.
In an instant, Parn's expression and eyes changed. After vigilant and admiration, he suddenly had the idea of becoming the best friend of Lucien around him, and he did not consider the possibility of the enemy at all. Because he knew that his father had established an absolutely good relationship with someone similar to that, so he became the second student of the national teacher and finally ascended the throne without any danger.
At the same time, among the crowd less than ten meters apart, the old man named Farns pointed at his face in surprise and asked silently, "I am really like Lu Chen said?" In particular, the sentence "I cheated on eating from a child" made him very depressed.
An old man walking beside him, who was about the same age as him, was already covering his mouth and laughing quietly, while another middle-aged man replied with a look of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh: "President, you are just an ignorant child talking nonsense. Didn't you hear him say it was written in the novel?"
"Yes, yes, it's written in the novel. The Mercenary King is just an old man who likes to cheat food and drink from children. Hahaha~ I finally know why you always want to leave everyone behind and sneak out alone, hahaha..." The old man covering his mouth and laughing finally couldn't help laughing loudly.
At this pause, the distance between the two sides was wide open, and no one would hear the laughter on the streets of Italy.
