Chapter 254 - Encounter
Feng Muyan was on the road most of the time, and his stomach had long begun to protest, but he was too anxious to get going and had to forcefully suppress his rebellious stomach. Now that he knew the palace would not be in danger for the time being, the feeling of hunger overcame everything, and he had no choice but to find a small restaurant that dared to open.
"Sir, please come in."
"Two plates of our signature dishes, plus a jug of wine."
"Sir, Nanyue Capital is in the midst of war right now. Many ingredients are no longer available. I can only make some home-cooked dishes. I wonder if you..."
"Then bring me two plates of home-cooked food, and remember to serve the wine first."
Feng Muyan took a sip of wine and almost vomited it out. It seemed that his appetite was really spoiled by Li'er. The taste of ordinary wine was even worse than that of Coptis chinensis. Li'er, where are you?
Soon, two dishes that were not exquisite were served. Feng Muyan was about to start eating when he saw the waiter standing by and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
"Sir, you are aware of the current situation in Nanyue Kyoto. Would you like to settle the bill first?" Looking at Feng Muyan, who was not dressed very elegantly but had a ferocious look, the waiter spoke timidly.
"How many?"
"Two dishes for two hundred taels, a jar of wine for one hundred taels, and four steamed buns for one hundred taels, a total of four hundred taels!" After he finished speaking, the waiter trembled and stretched out three fingers.
Feng Muyan's eyes turned cold and he instantly understood why this restaurant dared to open its doors. Most likely they wanted to make a fortune during the national disaster. They were willing to do anything for money and were not afraid of losing their lives.
Seeing Feng Muyan stunned and silent, the waiter showed a contemptuous smile on his face. He had already cursed Feng Muyan a hundred times in his heart. How dare such a poor guy go out to drink during the war? He really didn't look in the mirror before going out. This meal was like feeding the dog!
"Is that enough?" He slammed a silver note worth one thousand taels on the table.
"Enough...enough...enough, sir, please enjoy your meal. If you are not full, you can call for more steamed buns. You will have enough steamed buns!" The waiter quickly put the banknote into his arms, looked around with a sly look, and then ran away happily.
Feng Muyan was eating while thinking about how to infiltrate Chu Nan's army, and did not pay attention to the surrounding environment until he saw a black hand on the steamed bun in front of him. He suddenly hit it with a chopstick and looked over coldly.
I saw that the person squatting on the stool opposite was wearing a white shirt that had turned gray, and his small face, which was the size of a palm, was as black as the bottom of a pot, not to mention his pair of hands that were extremely black. If there was anything worth seeing about this person, it was only his pair of black eyes that were as bright as stars, which were clear and lively and very pleasing to the eye.
"Brother, I'll only eat one. If we meet again in the future, I will repay you double!" He grabbed a steamed bun and started to eat it without waiting for Feng Muyan's consent.
Feng Muyan froze instantly, staring at the person opposite him motionlessly, his eyes greedily following her every move.
After a while, she finished a big steamed bun, smiled at Feng Muyan embarrassedly, then slowly stretched out her black hand and accurately took away a steamed bun.
"Eat some vegetables. You'll choke if you only eat steamed buns." Feng Muyan's voice was a little hoarse.
"Brother, you are such a good..."
"Plop!" The broken bun fell onto the table. The man looked at Feng Muyan in disbelief, tears flickering faintly in his dark eyes. He asked with trembling lips and choked with sobs, "Amu?"
"Silly girl, how did you become like this?" Feng Muyan said lovingly.
"Without you as my strong backer, I would be in a miserable situation!" Mu Ziyan chuckled, tears in her eyes rolling down her cheeks, and then she couldn't stop crying, all the grievances and fears of the past few days flooded into her heart.
