Chapter 120: What I saw in the restaurant.

The next morning, Li Ang and his three companions were walking on the street.

There is an endless stream of caravans coming and going. Perhaps it was because a rumor spread in the palace yesterday that His Majesty was going to lift the maritime ban in accordance with the Imperial Master's wishes. This excited cross-regional merchants of all sizes, and they said that the Imperial Master had done a great thing for the country and the people!
"Haha, the money the teacher gave me yesterday was enough. I haven't had such a glorious life since I was born!"

It can be seen that he is very happy. Even yesterday when he witnessed his teacher flying and gained some insights and broke through to the eighth level, he was not so excited.

As Hong Kaijia shouted loudly, pedestrians on the street turned back from time to time and looked at the four people with strange eyes.

"Redneck!"

Li An heard the murmurs of passers-by.

"Just follow your path!" Li An patted his disciple on the back of his head and scolded him, "You have been doing nothing all day. You should consolidate your realm when you go back. I will teach you something new!"

Wang Shisanlang looked around and said, "It's not enough to just enjoy the appearance. We should go and enjoy ourselves!"

Even Yan Xiaoyi who was standing beside him nodded.

The reason was simple. Hong Kaijia went out yesterday to contact the cook and servants, but they would arrive at the mansion two days later, that is, tomorrow. Today, they went out to buy various supplies and ingredients.

It was Hong Kaijia who cooked last night, and the taste was so delicious that it’s hard to describe.

They all had a meal together and decided to make up for it today. They also secretly made up their minds that in the future, unless it was necessary, they would not let Hong Kaijia cook!

When the four of them walked to an area with heavy traffic, they caused some commotion.

Li An was wearing a scholar's robe that fitted him well, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist. He was elegant, approachable and easy-going. The other three were all dressed in tight clothes, with their own weapons hanging from their waists.

Hong Kaijia walked with a fierce and powerful manner, and a heroic demeanor;
Wang Shisanlang has an upright figure, elegant and handsome;

Even Yan Xiaoyi's cold face had a smile, and he seemed to relax after a long time, giving people a strong sense of contrast.

This attracted the attention of many young girls.

In the restaurant, roast chicken and roast duck filled the long table, which was formed by merging two eight-person tables. All of them were meat, and the aroma was fragrant.

The four of them ate and drank heartily with fine wine and delicious food, which attracted much attention.

Since the four men practiced martial arts, they naturally had big appetites. The other diners in the restaurant gradually got used to it and started talking about the interesting things that happened recently.

"I heard that there is a new Baoyue Tower in Qing State, and the top performer will come to our Northern Qi Shangjing to tour and inspect, open a branch building, and perform songs and dances for Your Majesty!"

"I have heard about this a long time ago. I heard that even the Zuixian Tower, which has been closed for a long time, has introduced a new courtesan. They want to come to the capital to compete with the Baoyue Tower and make a name for themselves!"

Another diner asked in surprise: "Where did you get this information? Please tell me in detail!"

"What's so difficult about this?"

The two people before smiled slightly, but there was no movement for a long time.

How could the onlookers not understand what they meant?

"Give this table a jar of girl's red wine, and put it on my account!"

"Boss, add two more plates of meat dishes, quickly!"

"Where's the tea? Didn't you two say you were thirsty? Bring me two pots of good tea. We're not short of money!"

The guests around were all very sensible and thoughtful. Soon the waiter brought food and filled the table of the two people.

"Sir, please stay here. I'll tell you if you need anything!" After saying that, the waiter went aside and listened with the shopkeeper.

When Li An heard this, his heart was slightly moved.

It's not surprising that Zuixianlou was reopened ahead of schedule, but why did Baoyuelou also open so much earlier? He secretly wondered and listened attentively.

Even the three people who were eating slowed down their eating pace.

It turned out that the two people who were talking just now were traveling merchants, and therefore, they brought the latest news from Qing Kingdom.

"Thank you, everyone, please!"

One of them clasped his fists in greeting and continued, "This matter has to start from the fact that the Zuixian Tower in Qing State was sealed a few months ago. Since then, a new Baoyue Tower has appeared in Kyoto."

"That's right!" Another person took over the conversation and said, "I heard that the owner of Baoyue Tower wanted to take advantage of this blank period to fill the vacant market and compete for the title of the number one brothel in the capital of Qing Kingdom. Unexpectedly, they have been preparing for a long time and have just opened for business for a short time, and Zuixian Tower has also lifted the blockade and reopened?" Li An nodded. He understood how profitable the brothel industry was in ancient times.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a place where money is spent lavishly.

It is understandable that some people want to seize the market and get a piece of the pie.

"Then why did you come to Northern Qi to perform?" someone in the audience asked in confusion.

The man just smiled and explained with a proud look on his face: "Haha, brother, you are really ignorant!"

"Everyone knows what Qing Country is. It's a land of barbarians!"

"They don't know anything about singing and dancing. All they know is fighting and killing."

"And what about our Northern Qi? Since ancient times, it has been the most authentic place among all the countries in the world, a place that combines knowledge and elegance. For industries like brothels, if we can make a name for ourselves in Northern Qi, what kind of money can't we make?"

"Plus, they also wanted to open a branch in Northern Qi, so the two families set out one after another to come to our Northern Qi capital."

This series of explanations made everyone present suddenly enlightened, and followed by a surge of excitement.

Everyone was talking about it and said that they would definitely go to show their support when the time comes.

"When will the two families arrive in Shangjing?"

After hearing someone ask the key point, the two smiled slightly, slowly put down their wine glasses, and emphasized: "You asked the right person."

Another person said proudly, "We also traveled with those two families for a while. Because we had urgent matters, we sped up and came into the city a day earlier. I guess those two groups will enter the city today!"

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion!"

The acquaintances began to whisper again, and from time to time a smile that only men could understand appeared on their faces.

The person who spoke first seemed to have his lines snatched away by the person who spoke later. He was now drinking with an unhappy look on his face, while the person who spoke first was apologizing in a low voice with a smile on his face.

Then, people started talking about other things, and someone mentioned Ang Lee's name.

"What a coincidence! I heard that Mr. Sijue also entered Shangjing City yesterday. If I can meet him after Zuixian Tower and Baoyue Tower open today or tomorrow, it will be worth my trip to Shangjing City!"

A merchant from Dongyi City said with a sigh.

"I've heard of Mr. Sijue!"

"Yes, yes, the youngest grandmaster in the world!"

"Not only that, I heard that he knows everything from astronomy to geography, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting!"

Someone interrupted and said, "What you are saying is all outdated!"

"Oh?" Someone said with a bad look, "Then tell us something we don't know!"

The man sneered: "I can see that you just entered the city today!"

"When Mr. Si Jue arrived yesterday, he was welcomed into the palace by His Majesty. He reported to the emperor about the shortcomings of Northern Qi. His Majesty saw this and agreed with it. In gratitude for his contribution, he gave him a mansion, gold and silver, and appointed him as the Right Teacher of the Nation!"

"There is also this matter!"

There were constant exclamations in the audience, and everyone was full of anticipation to meet him.

"Teacher, they are all talking about you!" Hong Kaijia said proudly, "If they knew that the person they have been longing to see is right here at the table, I wonder how they would feel?"

Li An said unhappily: "Eat yours!"

I looked out the window and lamented that the plot had completely collapsed, and what was to come was an unknown landscape.

"As the saying goes, when you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex. Are you going to visit a brothel next?"

he half-joked.

The main thing is that if you come to the ancient dynasties and don’t go to a brothel, you would be embarrassed to say that you have been there!
