Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 34: Dinner invitation, Fengming Tower?

"Shang An, have you just arrived in the imperial capital?"

Dugu Yan looked at Shang An and the others with some curiosity. She had lived in the imperial capital for more than ten years. If there were such handsome men in the imperial capital, there was no way she didn't know about it.

"Well, we are from the Kingdom of Barak, and this is my first time in the Tiandou Imperial Capital."

The Spirit Hall is next to the Barak Kingdom, so it’s okay to say it came from the Barak Kingdom.

"Then I'll take you for a tour. I grew up here and I'm most familiar with Tiandou City."

Dugu Yan said with some joy that she finally found someone she liked and she wanted to talk to him more.

"Thank you very much, young lady."

Shang An did not refuse, as he was very interested in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

Afterwards, Dugu Yan took Shang An and others to visit Tiandou City. During the trip, Dugu Yan was also impressed by Shang An's knowledge and bearing. Shang An's temperament and knowledge were not something that ordinary children could possess. He must be from a wealthy family. If he was compared with himself, I'm sure his grandfather would not say anything.

It's just that Xiao Wu was a little depressed along the way. Before, there were only her and Nihuang next to Shang An. The age gap between Nihuang and Shang An was too big, and Nihuang looked like the role of guarding an elder. So she was the only person of the same age next to Shang An, which made her have the illusion that Shang An was hers.

But now Dugu Yan has come, and it seems that the two of them are having a very interesting chat. Dugu Yan is often amused by Shang An and often looks at Shang An with admiration.

And because Shang An is taller, Dugu Yan and he seem to be more compatible in terms of appearance and age.

But she was just Shang An's pet and had no right to criticize anything. She could only sulk aside, muttering things like "It was obviously me who came first." "I am the master's pet."

Because the voice was so soft, Dugu Yan didn't hear it. Shang An heard it but remained calm. He just felt a little amused in his heart that this little rabbit was actually jealous.

"It's noon, Shang An, let's go eat. Sister Nihuang is hungry."

Xiao Wu took Shang An's hand, and then said to Dugu Yan:
"Sister Dugu's family must be waiting anxiously, let's go back and have dinner."

Shang An knew Xiao Wu's little thoughts very well. This girl even moved Nihuang out and stopped calling Shang An brother, just wanting to separate him and Dugu Yan as soon as possible.

However, Shang An naturally had other purposes in accompanying Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan didn't have a deep enough impression of him yet, so how could they separate so easily?

"Miss Dugu helped us out today and helped us get familiar with Tiandou City. I wonder if I can have a chance to treat her to a simple meal to express my gratitude."

"You should call me Yanyan. I don't usually eat lunch at home."

Dugu Yan said shyly.

"Then I'll be so bold as to call you Yanyan."

"Well, okay, Brother An." Dugu Yan obviously didn't know at this time that Shang An was younger than him. After all, Shang An's height and temperament were too confusing.

Shang An naturally would not say anything on his own initiative. He accepted the title of brother, chatted happily with Dugu Yan, and walked towards Fengming Tower side by side.

"Yanyan, do you have any restaurant recommendations?"

Shang An is not familiar with Tiandou, so it is better to let Dugu Yan make the choice.

Dugu Yan said, "I heard there's a Fengming Restaurant that just opened not long ago. Why don't we go there to eat?"

Only Xiao Wu was standing behind with a puzzled and unhappy look on her face, "Why is this happening?", "Why doesn't this woman leave?"

"Xiao Wu, stop mumbling and follow me."

"okay."

Xiao Wu immediately restrained her expression and quickly followed. She didn't dare to give Shang An a cold look.

Several people walked into Fengming Tower.

I don't know how the food here tastes, but I have to say that the decoration of Fengming Tower is indeed luxurious, with an antique style similar to the Chinese style of my previous life. It is magnificent and decorated with jade everywhere. It doesn't feel like walking into a restaurant, but more like entering a palace.

A woman dressed in palace maid's clothes came up to greet the few people. Her attitude was warm and sincere, making people feel at home. And her words were so skillful. Wow, this seemed like her own business.

Shang An suddenly remembered that his plan had used a very small amount of space to describe the setting up of industries such as restaurants and gambling houses, which were mainly used to raise funds and gather intelligence. Among them was the Fengming Tower.

I had not expected that Fengming Tower would be completed so quickly, and I was unable to react for a while.

But think about it, there is still a difference between the fantasy world and the ordinary world after all, and Tiandou City is the most prosperous city in the Tiandou Empire, so it is normal to build Fengming Tower here first.

Shang An and his friends soon booked a private room. Xiao Wu walked in first and picked up the menu on the table. The menus were all accompanied by exquisite pictures, which made people's appetites grow. But after looking at them for a long time, her face fell.

"Shang An, let's go to another store."

"what happened?"

Dugu Yan was a little confused. Could it be that there was something wrong with the restaurant she recommended? She only heard people talk about this restaurant occasionally, but she didn't really pay much attention to it.

"Take a look for yourself." Xiao Wu threw the menu directly to Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan took it and glanced at it for a while, frowning slightly.

"Let's find another one."

"Haha, no need for that. Are you afraid of eating me out of money?"

Shang An knew what was going on between the two of them. He had participated in the planning of Fengming Tower, and its main focus was price and style. The price was probably that a meal with two dishes and a soup at the lowest configuration would cost over a thousand gold soul coins.

This Fengming Tower was not originally intended for common people to consume. It made money from the nobles and gave the money to the nobles to entertain guests. What the nobles want is style. Spending thousands of soul coins on a meal is incredible for ordinary people, but it is not a big sum for these great nobles.

Do the nobles lack money? They don’t. What they want is to show that they are different from the common people.

The chefs of Fengming Building are all food-related soul masters. The luxury of its decoration is definitely the best in Tiandou, and its service attitude is definitely top-notch. Few restaurants would spend time on this aspect, so the unique Fengming Building is definitely eye-catching enough.

Of course Dugu Yan would be able to afford the meal, but it would be a bit rude of you to spend thousands of their gold soul coins when someone else treats you to a meal.

"Have you written down this, this, and this?"

Shang An told the waitress dressed as a palace maid a few dishes, all of which were relatively cheap. The palace maid's smile did not fade, and she asked enthusiastically: "Sir, are you going to order these dishes?"

"No, except for these dishes, give me one portion of the others."

Shang An shook his head. These dishes all contained celery, which was what he hated the most. He didn't expect that this damn thing also existed in Douluo Continent, although the name was different.

"Sir, what did you say?"

The waiter thought he had heard it wrong and asked again.

"Go ahead, bring up all the other dishes except these."

"Sir, are you sure?"

The waiter felt so dumbfounded that he could hardly maintain the smile on his face.

She was very sure that no one who looked at the menu would dare to say such a thing. The total price of all the dishes in Fengming Tower would probably be hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins. Even the dukes and princes would not be so extravagant.

"Shang An, that's not necessary."

Dugu Yan pulled Shang An's hand, fearing that he would hold on for the sake of his face in case he couldn't pay the price. It was said that Fengming Tower had an extraordinary background. However, Xiao Wu was no longer worried when she saw Shang An so calm.

"Peace of mind."

Shang An's hand covered the back of Dugu Yan's fair hand. Isn't this just ordering a meal? Why does it become like going to the battlefield?

"Do as I say."

"Okay then, please wait a moment, sir."

The waiter finally left with the bill.

After leaving the room, the waiter immediately ran to the backstage to find the manager.

"Manager, Manager, the guest in Room 3 has placed a large order."

"Just hand it over to the kitchen after you order it. Do you need me to teach you this?"

The manager just thought that the waiter was making a fuss out of nothing. With the prices at Fengminglou, any order would be a big one.

"But, but he ordered almost all the dishes."

"what!"

The manager was also shocked. Fengminglou has a wide variety of dishes, with a total of 128 dishes of all sizes. It would cost hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins to order all of them.

Is this guy really rich, or is he just pretending to be rich?
After hesitating for a while, the manager made a decision.

"Report it to the kitchen."

The manager knows his own background and is not afraid of being charged a fee by others.

"Yes."

Seeing that the manager had agreed, the waitress naturally had no objection. Anyway, she would not be blamed if anything went wrong in the end.

As a result, the entire kitchen suddenly became busy, and exquisite dishes were continuously sent to Room No. 3.

"Brother Shang An, eat this. It's delicious."

Xiao Wu picked up a dish called Jade Dragon Platform for Shang An with chopsticks. It was actually pickled crystal radish in vinegar. The meaning was obvious, but Shang An said he didn't understand.
