Chapter 1742: Chapter 1742: nu
As always, Long Rui and Long Yi were riding horses outside, while Zi Xia and Xuexue were sitting sideways in the carriage.
That day, they arrived at a place called Hu’s Bay. As soon as they entered the town, they noticed a stark contrast between the inside and the outside; it was deserted outside, but the inside was bustling with people.
The streets were lined with vendors, offering all sorts of things—food, daily necessities, dicinal herbs, trinkets, animal furs—there was everything one might need.
The vendors’ shouts were continuous and lively.
In the middle of the street, people were coming and going, making the whole street exceptionally lively.
They arrived in front of an inn called Yunlai Inn. Just as they stopped, a young attendant walked out with a big smile on his face and asked, “Would you like to stay at the inn, gentlen and ladies?”
Zi Xia replied irritably, “Isn’t that a silly question? If we’re not staying at the inn, why would we be here?”
With business at hand, the young attendant was not bothered and continued smiling broadly: “Please co in, distinguished guests!”
The young attendant led them to the second floor and opened four elegant rooms. Xuexue and Long Rui took one room, while the other three each took one of the remaining rooms.
After tidying up, they went outside together, ready to have a al.
The inn did serve food, but having traveled daily, they occasionally wanted to enjoy the leisurely life of a restaurant.
They heard from the attendant that the largest restaurant in Hu’s Bay was at the end of the street, called The First Tower Under Heaven. Quite a bold na, but would the food be any good?
They all stepped inside together.
The place lived up to its na, The First Tower Under Heaven, with its luxurious decor and a crowd of guests. However, many seed to be Itinerant World People, judging by their attire and deanor, they carried weapons and looked like they were not to be trifled with.
As soon as they entered, a young attendant ca to greet them: “Would you prefer to dine in the main hall or in a private room, dear guests? The main hall is bustling but more economical, while the private rooms are pricier but offer a very comfortable environnt.”
The young attendant was chattering away to close the deal.
Long Rui impatiently said, “Get us a private room!”
Upon hearing that, the young attendant was overjoyed and quickly said with a smile: “Esteed guests, please follow .”
The attendant led them to a private room on the second floor.
Indeed, it was very secluded here, unlike the noisy main hall on the first floor.
Moreover, the room’s decor was exceedingly luxurious.
Xuexue was a bit surprised, not expecting such a small place like Hu’s Bay to have such a lavishly decorated restaurant. Quite rare.
A little later, the attendant brought the nu and asked them to order.
Long Rui looked at Xuexue dotingly and said, “We’ve been on the road for several days, my dear, see if there’s anything you’d like to eat?”
After speaking, he handed the nu to Xuexue.
Xuexue was not shy and picked up the nu, casually ordering several dishes: “Bird’s nest soup, Beggar’s chicken, Ants climbing a tree, Double Yellow Cake, braised beef, braised pork trotters, stead perch, and a braised wild rabbit.”
The carriage driver was dumbfounded. In his eyes, these precious dishes were only served at the wealthy master’s household. Unexpectedly, following a few nobles, today he could also indulge like this, his heart filled with excitent.
In their private room, sitting by the window, they had an unobstructed view of the street below.
While they were eating, suddenly the once bustling street outside erupted in chaos, with people grabbing their belongings and running away, as if avoiding soone terrifying.
