Chapter 85: Another Free Dinner

Shijian Town is located on the main road leading to Shenjian Peak and is the nearest town to Shenjian Peak. It is mainly populated by mortals. Under the policy of peaceful coexistence promoted by Taixu Palace, which controls Tianmen Mountain, mortals and monks here have always lived in equality and interacted with each other, unlike other places where monks regard mortals as ants and mortals respect monks as immortals.

Even many monks have settled here, or bought property, or married and had children, and they are happy.

On weekdays, in addition to the mortal vendors who come and go, many monks from Shenjian Peak will come here to stroll around in their spare time as a rest. The mortals here are also used to the existence of monks, and they have opened up many service projects for monks, such as some dolls with magic, such as the market for trading between monks, such as restaurants that can make delicacies and fruits that mortals cannot eat but monks can eat, and brothels with some female monks who voluntarily accept customers for various reasons...

Looking at the four big words "Fairyland on Earth" in front of him, and looking at the seductive women on the road who are half exposed, waving and laughing, Li Chuyi sighed slightly and couldn't help but think of the Taoist priest.

"If the Taoist priest is here, he will definitely perform a good salvation." Li Chuyi thought to himself, and couldn't help but miss him even more.

"Little brother, this is not the place you should come to~~ Wait until you grow up, sister will take you to play~~~" A soft and pleasant voice came, but it was a seductive brothel upstairs looking at the chubby and cute Li Chuyi, and gently teased.

Li Chuyi was immediately unwilling, and looked at the woman and said loudly: "I have been following my old man to visit the building since I was three years old. What have I not seen? Dare you say I am young? Humph!"

After saying the harsh words, he turned around and walked away like a dandy. But the woman behind him was amused by Li Chuyi's appearance and laughed like a silver bell.

Walking on the street, looking at the crowds of all kinds, Li Chuyi couldn't help but open his eyes. In the past, he followed the Taoist priests to wander around Dayan, and he walked through many towns and villages. There, there are few such harmonious scenes between monks and mortals. There, all the monks look like they are the boss, even the young monks who have just stepped into the way of cultivation, look like they are the best in the world, and they will beat and scold mortals at any time if they are not satisfied with them. And mortals are even more afraid of them like tigers, and dare not offend them at all. In Wuyang City, Li Chuyi had no money to pay for his meal with the Taoist priest. If the Taoist priest showed his magical powers, wouldn't the restaurant owner treat him as an ancestor? How could he let them wash in the backyard and pay the bill?

But the Taoist priest never acted like this. He was just like an ordinary person, paying for meals, exchanging equal value, and never bullying men or women. Li Chuyi had followed the Taoist priest since he was a child, and he never regarded himself as a superior existence. He always thought that he was just an ordinary person who knew some magic.

Only in larger towns, such as Wuyang City, because the city lord is also a cultivator, the patrol soldiers guarding the city are also well-trained, and there is a deterrent law of Dayan, the cultivators dare not offend, but the privileges still exist everywhere. Because cultivators are superior and special, this is recognized by most of the world. And the foundation of Dayan is even more so. Including the Emperor of Dayan, who is not a great master of cultivation?

Looking at the monks who were bargaining with a mortal vendor on the street, Li Chuyi couldn't help but sigh, what a peaceful place.

After walking for a long time, he finally found his destination. Looking at the three-story restaurant in front of him and the four big characters "Baiwei Restaurant" on the plaque, Li Chuyi's eyes were shining green, like a hungry wolf. He had inquired before coming here, and the delicious food that Wang Yuan and his friends had packed from then on.

At the door of the restaurant, the shopkeeper who was counting the bills only felt a gust of wind blowing. When he looked up, he saw a chubby kid with ragged clothes and disheveled hair looking at him with green eyes. If he hadn't seen Li Chuyi as a monk at a glance, he would have chased him out as a beggar.

After calming down a little, the shopkeeper was about to speak when he heard Li Chuyi say in a gloomy tone: "Shopkeeper, find me a private seat. Chicken, duck, goose, dog, fish, turtle, shrimp, crab, as long as it is meat, whatever you have! A few more ingredients to cleanse your mouth, not too much, mainly meat!"

The shopkeeper immediately showed a professional smile and nodded.

"Wait a moment."

Calling a waiter, the shopkeeper said: "Take this master to the private room on the third floor and notify the kitchen to serve the whole family portrait."

"The whole family portrait?" The waiter was stunned, looking at Li Chuyi who looked like a beggar, and asked in confusion: "One person?"

Seeing the shopkeeper's glare, the waiter immediately did not dare to say anything more, bowed to Li Chuyi, and said respectfully:

"Please, sir, come this way."

After that, he stretched out his hand and led Li Chuyi to the third floor. Knowing that Li Chuyi was a cultivator, the experienced waiter regarded his beggar-like appearance as the unique hobby of this master. He had seen masters who liked to dress up as men or even men dressed up as women, so this person who liked to dress up as a beggar was nothing special.

In the private room on the third floor, after serving tea, the waiter bowed and left. Soon, a variety of dishes were served, and soon the large round table in front of him, which was big enough for 20 to 30 people to sit around, was filled with food.

"Sir, the main dishes are all here, and there are a few snacks to refresh your palate. Please call me after you finish your meal and I will serve them to you." The waiter said respectfully.

Li Chuyi, who had been impatient for a long time, stuffed his mouth with food. He responded vaguely and ignored the waiter, continuing to eat voraciously.

While eating, Li Chuyi howled from time to time. In his sobbing and vague words, one could vaguely hear some confusing words like "half a year", "delicious", and "this is life". I don't know what he wanted to say.

When the waiter came in to replace the desserts, he saw that the full table of food that was enough for ordinary people to eat for half a month was swept away, and even several dishes were licked clean. The waiter immediately admired the young "master" in front of him, and secretly thought that he was worthy of being a person who practiced Taoism to become an immortal. Even his appetite was so good. He had never seen such a master before. He was so good at eating!

While eating the sweet but not greasy dessert, Li Chuyi touched his round belly and sighed with satisfaction.

"Finally I'm full! This is life! This is how people live!"

Satisfied, he wanted to stand up and sigh loudly, but he couldn't stand up after trying for a long time.

There was no way, he was too full.

Li Chuyi gave up getting up and decided to take a rest for a while. He took a sip of the teacup and thought to himself that he would pack something to take back as food reserves. Every time he went down the mountain, he was in danger of death. It was too exciting. He couldn't go down the mountain frequently. He didn't know when he would go down the mountain next time.

Just as he was thinking, he saw the waiter come in again. After bowing, he asked respectfully: "Sir, are you satisfied with the food?"

"Very satisfied!" Li Chuyi said sincerely, "I will come again next time! I want to take some away later. You can give me two sets of dishes like the ones on the table, no, three sets, three sets!"

The waiter nodded happily, thinking that the masters are generous and never care about spending. This time the shopkeeper made a fortune, and it must be his own benefit.

The more he thought about it, the happier he was. The waiter smiled flatteringly and said: "Sir, wait a moment, I will inform you after it is ready. By the way, I will tell you the cost of this meal. The family portrait table is 120 taels, plus the three sets you want to take away, a total of 480 taels. The best spring tea before the rain is served to you, and the price of a pot is 10 taels. I will round it up to 2 taels for you to take away, and the total is 500 taels."

"How much?" Li Chuyi was shocked.

Since leaving Wuyang City, he has hardly eaten the fireworks of the world. He was so excited just now that he forgot that he had to pay for the meal. Thinking about his own money, let alone five hundred taels, he couldn't even take out five taels. The dozens of taels of silver left by the Taoist priest had long been thrown into the water by him to test the water. How could he have money to pay the bill!

The waiter was stunned by Li Chuyi and asked in confusion: "Sir, is there any problem?"

"Uh, no!" Li Chuyi forced himself to calm down, his face changed, and he said indifferently: "I think it's too cheap. Such delicious food, how can it be so cheap! You go down and prepare it first, and call me when it's ready."

The waiter was even happier in his heart, thinking that a master is a master, and he is generous. A table of food costs 120 taels, but he still thinks it's cheap. It's really generous!

Beautifully guessing how much tip he can get later, the waiter's face is even more respectful, bowing and leaving the room.

When only Li Chuyi was left in the room, his indifferent face suddenly collapsed.

Counting on his fingers how many dishes he had to wash for 500 taels, Li Chuyi couldn't help but secretly complain to himself why he didn't ask Ye Zhichen for some money when he went down the mountain?

"Do I have to eat a free meal again and pay off the bill by washing dishes?"

The tangled Li Chuyi couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. The same scene happened before. But at that time, there were two figures in the backyard, one was him and the other was a Taoist priest.

And this time, I'm afraid he's the only one left.
