Early the next morning, Luo Yunyi took the list his mother gave him and went shopping. There was also a kind of spice they had pre-ordered at a grocery store, and he wasn’t sure if the person the boss sent out to buy it had returned yet.
After shopping the whole morning, the most he heard was that the Chengtian Sect was coming to Taocheng to recruit disciples. Chengtian Sect, one of the four top sects, coming to recruit naturally caused a big stir. Luo Yunyi heard people discussing this everywhere he went.
However, he didn’t care about this matter. He was contemplating what to have for lunch later. Hmm, let’s go to that restaurant in the west of the city, his mother’s restaurant. The chef was personally taught by his mother, so let him cook sothing spicy today. Let’s start with a plate of spicy duck blood and beef tripe stew! And what else... sizzling tender beef is nice too, let’s add a portion of cumin ribs.
After Luo Yunyi bought the things and had them sent to the City Lord Mansion, he slowly headed towards the restaurant in the west city. That’s right, his mother had two restaurants. One in the east and one in the west. One was nad This Restaurant, and the other That Restaurant. Kind of amusingly inexplicable, but very much in line with his mother’s style.
By noon, the ground floor hall of That Restaurant was already filled with custors. The people of Taocheng, initially curious about the various spicy foods in the restaurant, after trying, found it utterly heavenly, thus there were plenty of custors every day.
Luo Yunyi went upstairs and found a seat by the window, only to find soone already sitting there.
This person was soone he had t once before.
"Ah, miss, hello. The jade pendant you gave last ti was too valuable, enough to buy lots of fish. So you won’t lose out, let treat you to this al. Though, even with one al, you’re still losing out." Luo Yunyi spoke upon seeing Tianmiao by the window.
"Join ?" Tianmiao smiled and pointed to the seat opposite her.
"Sure." Luo Yunyi didn’t hesitate, sat down directly, and turned to the waiter, "One of every signature dish, please. Oh, miss, can you handle spicy food?"
"Yes. Extra spicy, please." Tianmiao nodded.
"Alright, one of each then." Luo Yunyi smiled. A fellow spicy food lover, he had t soone whose presence felt very pleasant to him and who also enjoyed spicy food. Luo Yunyi’s mood naturally lifted.
The waiter quickly brought tea, and while drinking, Luo Yunyi asked, "My na is Luo Yunyi, may I know your na, miss?"
"Tianmiao." Tianmiao took a sip of tea, silently praising it as fragrant jasmine tea. This must also be the handiwork of Luo Yunyi’s mother.
"Tianmiao..." Luo Yunyi repeated the na, inexplicably reminded of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
The upstairs quickly filled with guests too. The cost of dining upstairs was different from the hall downstairs, being twice or even higher, so those who ca up were not ordinary citizens.
Both sides were filled with guests, and through the screen, he could hear their conversations.
"Have you heard? Chengtian Sect is coming to our Taocheng to recruit!"
"I heard, and we’re all guessing, will they recruit the City Lord’s grandson?"
"Luo Yunyi? Impossible. He has five spirit roots. Such a root is completely useless."
"Of course not, it’s Luo Yunfei."
"Oh, that’s more like it."
Luo Yunyi listened to the conversation at the next table, but his expression remained unchanged, unbothered. He continued sipping his tea, waiting for the dishes to be served. Calm as ever, as if they weren’t discussing him at all.
