Chapter 45 - Bounty (1/2)
Sometime later, Luo Li brought Yuan to one of their largest and most famous restaurants.
”Hundred Style Pork Shop?” Yuan looked at the sign above the door with a slightly wet mouth.
”As the name implies, this restaurant specializes in pork. Of course, there are other foods on the menu, but they are most famous for their pork.” Luo Li said to them before they walked inside.
”Welcome to the Hundred Style Pork Shop, Lady Luo!” The receptionist immediately recognized and greeted Luo Li.
”Table for three,” she said.
”I understand. Please, come with me.”
The receptionist then led them to the largest table in the room that could easily fit even a large family.
”Here's the menu, Young Lady.”
”Thank you. By the way, you can send the bill to my family.” Luo Li then said to the receptionist.
”Eh? Are you sure?” Yuan asked her when he heard her words.
”Yes. Although it's not much, please allow my family to treat Daoist Yuan to this meal. If my father was here, he would've also said the same. After all, Daoist Yuan is still our esteemed guest. If we cannot even do something as simple as feeding you, then it would bring shame upon the entire Luo Family.” Luo Li said.
”You're exaggerating…” Yuan said with an awkward smile, as he was not used to this royalty-like treatment.
”Anyway, please order whatever you want, Daoist Yuan. My family will bear all of your bills today.”
Seeing the stubbornly beautiful smile on Luo Li's face, Yuan could only nod his head and accept her offer.
A few moments later, Yuan began ordering from the menu.
”I'll have this braised pork, this seasoned pork, this pulled pork, this… this… this… and this…”
”...”
Both the receptionist and Luo Li stared at Yuan with wide eyes as he continued to name dishes after dishes until he named almost every dish that was available on the menu.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hua casually sat there with a calm expression, looking as though she was used to seeing this scene.
”V-Very well. I'll immediately notify the cooks…” The receptionist quickly left their table a few minutes later with her hands feeling slightly numb from writing essentially the entire menu.
”D-Daoist Yuan must have been starving from his journey…” Luo Li said to him with a stiff smile on her face, while silently wondering to herself whether Yuan really had the ability to eat so much food.
”Yes, I am quite exhausted after riding the flying sword for so long.” Yuan nodded.
”If you don't mind me asking, where does Daoist Yuan plan on heading to after the Pang City?” she suddenly asked him.
”Oh, we are heading to the Purple Bamboo Forest for training,” he said with a calm expression.
”The Purple Bamboo Forest?!” Luo Li covered her mouth in shock after hearing his words.
