I thought I would have to waste a lot of my skills, but I didn't expect that I could find out the location of the Eight Immortals Tower by just asking a passerby.
It is one of the largest restaurants in Hangzhou, not far from where the two were staying, only a ten-minute walk away.
"Dad, can I have a skewer of sugar figurines?"
Jiang Xiao couldn't walk any further. It turned out that Bai Yi had tugged at his sleeve and stopped him in front of a sugar-blowing stall.
"Okay, let me ask the boss, can I use this money?"
After taking the money from Jiang Xiao, the old man who made the sugar figurine began to examine it closely.
Just when Jiang Xiao thought he didn't believe it, the other party spoke up suspiciously.
"Young man, this is clearly normal money. Why did you ask me if I could use it? You startled me. I thought it was fake. I've been looking at it for so long."
Yes, it's usable, and the old man even gave him change.
While eating sugar figurines, they entered the so-called Eight Immortals Building.
"Oh? You two, please come in!"
A quick-handed waiter came over and led the two to a private room on the third floor.
"The downstairs is already full, and the prices for the private rooms are the same as those in the lobby."
Seeing that Jiang Xiao was an unfamiliar face, the waiter worried that he might be mistaken for overcharging a customer, so he made a special explanation.
Jiang Xiao nodded without saying anything more. He just wanted to know what other strange things this time the ghost story would do.
Chapter 405: On the list
The private room is made entirely of wood and has a very soothing woody scent.
There was also a pretty maid waiting by her side.
Jiang Xiao opened the small window of the private room and listened carefully to the conversation of the people in the lobby.
I could vaguely hear something about the sudden death of Liu Zhensong's eldest daughter.
Song family?
Girl dies suddenly?
Is the ghost story about exploring the Qingshui River?
If you had told me that this eldest daughter's name was Matsudaira, I would have been really going to complain.
"This, this, and this too! There's this one!"
Ok?
When I snapped out of my reverie, I found that Bai Yi had already taken the menu from the maid and started ordering food like crazy.
Jiang Xiao: "?"
Why are we eating here?
"Little Bai, have you forgotten how dangerous the ghost stories are?"
"I know it's very dangerous, that's why I filled my stomach in this place that looks a bit safer, so I'll have the energy!"
Such a reasonable explanation left Jiang Xiao speechless.
Eat up, huh? Who can outeat you?
At this moment, the discussion downstairs seemed to have reached a climax.
Some people even banged on the table, fueled by alcohol.
"Heh, so immoral, he deserves to die!"
"Brother, you can't say that. At the very least, even if Da Lian is guilty, she doesn't deserve to die, does she?"
"An only daughter, what a pity. The Song family's vast fortune, I wonder to whom it will ultimately be passed down."
"How can parents do this? They're so heartless!"
"What do you know? Families with such a reputation care about their image the most."
"hiss?"
Jiang Xiao gasped. It really was a giant lotus?
And why do their fragmented words sound so similar to the story I'm familiar with?
If you don’t understand, just ask.
Does the fact that people from the Dragon Kingdom entered this strange tale mean they already had an innate advantage?
Meanwhile, the chosen ones from other countries were rather bewildered.
Following the clues from the ghost stories, we arrived at the Eight Immortals Tower to gather information.
Admittedly, they also grasped information such as [Liuzhen], [Songjia], [Dalian], and [Dalian is suspected of dying at the hands of her own parents].
But it always feels messy and chaotic.
What can they possibly deduce from this information?
It's impossible to guess the sixth brother blindly, right?
Just as they were peering out the window and listening intently, a maidservant who was waiting nearby approached them.
"Sir, what would you like to order?"
The waiter was right. The prices for food and drinks are the same in the private rooms and the main hall, but you have to make a purchase to enter a private room.
The same pricing in the private rooms as downstairs does not mean you can choose not to pay.
"Uh"
The chosen one was hesitant, mainly because he was unsure about the cost of living here.
"Here is the menu."
Seeing Jin Ye's embarrassment, the maid smiled and handed him the menu.
Jin Ye's temper flared up after just one glance.
"what!"
"Damn it! You don't even have the famous kimchi here?"
"Even the cheapest cabbage and tofu costs 88! Why don't you just rob people?!"
grab?
The maid's face darkened, and she clapped her hands.
The door to the private room was opened from the outside.
Two burly men, each over two meters tall and weighing over 120 kg, stood with their arms crossed, silently watching Jin Yezai.
"Long Da and Long Er, this gentleman says we're robbing you. What do you mean?"
"Oh, is that so? Should we grant his request?"
"Actually, no, I think it's fine. I'll order, okay?"
Gritting his teeth, Jin Ye ordered the cheapest dish of peanuts, spending a hefty sum of 28 yuan.
However, the two burly men showed no intention of leaving and continued to stare intently at him.
"Um, how about I have another plate of cabbage and tofu?"
Finally, they ordered another plate of edamame, which cost 28 yuan, and the two burly men snorted and left the private room.
A meal costs a little over a hundred yuan, which isn't expensive, but the Chosen One only has so much money in total, and it was given to him by Xiaoxue from the previous round.
Every little bit helps.
"Sigh, I should have just swallowed my pride and asked for more money."
However, Xiaoxue witnessed her beloved and that fat pig Xinyi doing it right in front of her.
I doubt I'll be able to get it back even if I try.
In contrast, Jiang Xiao didn't have so many concerns; it was just money, after all.
He practically emptied the city's treasure trove.
And to be fair, the food here is really good. I don't know where it's from, but it suits Jiang Xiao and Bai Yi's tastes perfectly.
Especially Bai Yi.
Since being released, I've become addicted to binge eating. I've been under Sun Wei's control for so long recently, and I'm really at my wit's end.
At this moment, all of his inner desires had been released.
‘Dong dong dong~’
Just as the two were enjoying their meal, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll go drive it."
The maidservant gave Jiang Xiao a curtsy with a smile on her face, then took small steps to open the door.
