n

n

n“Hehe …” Ling Qing ‘er could not help but cover her mouth and laugh.

n

n“Don’t laugh!” Mother Spirit glared at her.

n

n“If you dare to bully Xiao ran, I’ll teach you a lesson if I find out.”

n

n“Yes.” Ling Qing ‘er cleverly replied.

n

nPatting Xiao ran’s hand, Mother Spirit said again,”you’re still calling me Auntie?”

n

n“Mother!” Xiao ran was very sincere and called her that sweetly.

n

n“Eh.” Mother Spirit responded happily.

n

n“Father!”

n

n“Eh.” Father Ling couldn’t stop smiling.

n

nHe clapped his hands.

n

nA servant girl came over with a jar of wine. Mother Spirit took the jar from her hands and handed it to Xiao ran as she explained.

n

n“This is good stuff. It’s made with tiger penis, deer antler, and other nourishing things. Your father finished his share and wanted to drink it, but I didn’t give it to him. Hmm, although you’re still young and don’t need it, it’s better to keep it just in case. ”

n

n“T-this …” Xiao ran felt embarrassed again.

n

nWhat kind of Tiger and Wolf words were these?

n

nHowever, he didn’t dare to reject a gift from an elder, so he still accepted it.

n

n“Thank you, mother!”

n

n“We’re a family, so there’s no need to be so polite. ” Mother Spirit said.

n

nLooking at the sky, it was already noon.

n

nXiao ran said,”let’s go and eat!”

n

n“I’ll just make some at home. ”

n

n“When we reach the capital, mother, don’t fight with me. I will arrange everything.”

n

nFather Ling added,”just listen to the child.”

n

n“Alright,” he said. Mother Spirit nodded.

n

nAfter packing up, the group of them left the residence and walked towards Yu manlou.

n

nYu manlou was very famous in this generation and he was in the business of dealing with high ranking officials and nobles. Without enough power, even if you had the money, you wouldn’t be able to enter his family.

n

nThe chefs there were all retired Royal chefs.

n

nThe dishes were delicious and the environment was elegant.

n

nXiao ran had come here to eat before, but not often.

n

nMost of the food was at the drunken immortal court. The food there was not comparable, the “characteristics” of the business were different, and the main direction of the fight was different.

n

nAfter being brought here by little Zhou and the others, they rarely came here.

n

nAt this point.

n

nThe guards at the entrance recognized Xiao ran. When they saw him, they welcomed him warmly.”Master Xiao, you’re here!”

n

n“Same old position. Tell your manager to prepare a table of banquet number nine.” Xiao ran ordered.

n

n“Alright,” The guard replied.

n

n“Father, mother, little brother, let’s go in.” Xiao ran greeted.

n

n“Yes.” The three of them responded.

n

nThey were all shocked by this vast and Majestic Restaurant that exuded an air of luxury and money.

n

nTo be honest.

n

nIn the capital, Yu manlou could be ranked in the top five and his grade was extremely high.

n

nTheir hometown Anyang County, was only a small county with limited conditions. Even if the Ling family was not short of money and was one of the top families in Anyang County, their little money was really not enough in Beijing.

n

nHe saw that Xiao ran had arrived.

n

nThe shopkeeper’s name was Xu Lin. He was a middle-aged man who knew how to do things. His face was full of smiles as he welcomed him warmly.”You’re here, Sir!”

n

nHe looked at spirit father and the others.

n

n“Who are they?”

n

n“This is my wife Qing ‘er’s father, mother, and little brother.”

n

n“One look and you can tell he’s extraordinary. He has a noble temperament and is full of purple Qi. He’s born to be rich and Noble.” Xu Lin complimented him.

n

n“No, no.” Spirit father blushed.

n

n“Please go upstairs, I’ll get the kitchen to prepare it.”

n

nHe personally led the way and welcomed Xiao ran and his group.

n

nIt stopped on the third floor near the window.

n

nThe location here was very good, and the scenery outside was clearly captured in his eyes.

n

nAll sorts of snacks, fruits, and desserts were served.

n

n“My Lord, please eat something to fill your stomachs first. The dishes will be served soon.” Xu Lin said.

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran responded.

n

nXu Lin was very tactful and closed the door of the private room before leaving.

n

n“Brother-in-law, do you come here often?” Ling Ji couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

n

n“I’ve eaten a few times, but I usually eat at other places. ” Xiao ran said.

n

nMother Spirit started to chat with him again, asking him all kinds of questions.

n

nFrom the beginning to the end, Xiao ran’s face was red. He had never felt so awkward before.

n

nFortunately, the dishes were served very quickly.

n

nBanquet number nine had a total of 18 dishes. Sometimes, there would be a little more and a little less. The main thing was the ingredients. If there were enough ingredients, the dishes would be a little more.

n

nEvery dish looked, smelled, and tasted great. They looked super good.

n

nA rich fragrance wafted out and assailed the nose. Just smelling it would stir up one’s appetite, and one could not wait to eat them in one bite.

n

nLooking at the dishes on the table, Mother Spirit said,”I’m afraid this table is not cheap, right?”

n

n“It’s not expensive, it’s just a regular meal. ” Xiao ran laughed.

n

nThese ingredients were all very expensive. They were all spirit beasts. Even the side ingredients were all aged and very precious.

n

nAny random dish would cost hundreds of taels, or even more.

n

nHowever, banquet number nine wasn’t calculated based on a single dish, but by portions. There was a limited supply, and the price would be different depending on the ingredients used.

n

nJust this table of dishes, not including fruits and desserts, cost more than ten thousand taels.

n

nIt sounded very expensive, but ordinary people didn’t even have the right to see it.

n

nThey greeted him warmly.

n

n“Father, mother, little brother, don’t just stand there. If you don’t eat, the food will get cold and won’t be good.”

n

nHe took out two jugs of elemental spirit wine and handed them over.

n

nThis meal lasted for a full hour.

n

nThere was really too much food, and they didn’t finish it in the end.

n

nAt this moment, Xu Lin pushed open the door to the private room and walked in.

n

n“Sir, I’m the one who entertained the two elders for this meal, so you don’t have to pay.”

n

nXiao ran glared at him, took out a banknote worth ten thousand taels of silver, and handed it over.”Take it.”

n

n“Alright then!” Xu Lin was helpless.

n

nHe couldn’t even flatter Xiao ran.

n
