Chapter 4

What matters is the appearance

Wen Moyan hurriedly ran out of the General's Mansion and came all the way to the entrance of Zhen Gourmet House, the most famous restaurant in the capital.

Sure enough, an old beggar went to the Zhenxi Restaurant to beg for food, but was pushed out by the waiter. He just fell into the doorway, attracting a crowd of people to watch.

Wen Moyan's eyes lit up immediately when she saw him, and she hurriedly ran towards him.

However, Wen Mohan's maid Taoye walked out of the crowd, took a step ahead of Wen Mowan, and helped the old man up.

Taoye looked at the waiter and said with some displeasure: "You guys, why are you so barbaric? His old man just wants to ask for a bowl of water, why would you hurt someone?"

The waiter snorted coldly: "A bowl of water? A bowl of water in our delicacies costs ten taels of silver. Can he afford it? Not to mention that he can't afford it, you can't afford it either!"

Taoye said angrily: "You look down on others! This uncle, let's ignore him. I'll take you back to the General's Mansion to find my lady. My lady is kind-hearted and will definitely take care of you."

The old beggar looked at Taoye and asked doubtfully: "Isn't this... bad? Oh! Don't bring trouble to the house!"

Taoye stood up straight and said loudly: "No trouble, no trouble. We at General Pingrong's Mansion are the most charitable people. My young lady will definitely arrange a good place for you."

Tao Ye announced her doorstep to the waiter in the shop.

When the waiter heard this, he was no longer as arrogant as he was just now.

After Taoye finished speaking, he helped the old beggar to leave.

However, a clear female voice suddenly sounded: "Well said!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw Wen Moyan running over in a hurry.

Taoye was a little surprised to see Wen Moyan, and subconsciously said: "Miss Third? Why are you here?"

Wen Moyan calmed down her breathing and said, "You just praised me so much, so I have to stand up for justice, otherwise I can't live up to my reputation!"

Taoye was slightly startled, and then said hurriedly: "The slave said..." It's not you.

Before he finished speaking, Wen Moyan continued: "Well said! It's sonorous, powerful, and resounding. It doesn't disgrace the lintel of the General's Mansion."

"Miss Third, you misunderstood. I just..." Taoye was eager to explain.

But Wen Moyan didn't give her a chance at all.

Wen Moyan pointed at the waiter and said, "What my girl said is absolutely right. You just look down on others. Now I want to take this uncle in for a meal. I want to see if you will let me in."

!”

Of course the waiter didn't dare to stop me.

As the saying goes, the poor should not fight with the rich, and the rich should not fight with the officials.

This Pingrong general is an official of the second rank. How dare they offend a second rank official when they open a shop and do business?

The waiter smiled flatteringly and said, "Please, please, third lady, please!"

Wen Moyan turned to look at the old beggar, smiled crookedly, and said, "Uncle, let's go in and eat."

The old beggar looked up and down Wen Moyan, then nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Then... it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Tao Ye on the side was a little anxious when he saw this.

Seeing that the old beggar was about to enter the restaurant with Wen Moyan, Taoye hurriedly stepped forward, stopped them in front of them, and said eagerly: "Uncle, you'd better go back to your home with me, go back to the General's Mansion, my lady...

"

Before Tao Ye finished speaking, Wen Moyan interrupted: "Oh, you should go back first. Didn't you just say that, Miss, I will arrange the uncle properly, you don't have to worry. When you have eaten and drank enough,

I’ll find a place for uncle to settle down, okay, okay, let’s go now!”

Wen Moyan grabbed the old beggar's wrist and led him into the Zhenxiu Tower.

Taoye stamped her feet anxiously at the door, but she was a servant after all, so she couldn't compete with the lady in the street.

Taoye thought for a while, turned around quickly and ran towards the general's mansion.

On the other side, Wen Moyan had already taken the old beggar and sat down in the lobby on the first floor!

As soon as they sat down, all the guests in the hall ran away. The old beggar was really dirty and smelly, and flies were buzzing around him.

The waiter in the shop said a little embarrassedly: "Miss Third, do you think we can move to the private room upstairs?"

Wen Moyan ignored him, but looked at the old beggar and asked, "Uncle, where do you want to sit?"

The old beggar stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Just sit here, it will be ventilated and cool."

"Hey, your old man is well ventilated, but the smell of your body makes other people eat it!" the waiter said with a grimace.

Wen Moyan looked at the waiter and said in an unhappy tone: "What can't you eat? You have such bad breath, why don't we come in to eat too?"

The waiter was so scolded that he couldn't speak for a while.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the shopkeeper came out from behind the counter and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, what the girl said is true. I don't know what the girl wants to eat. Let's prepare it immediately."

Wen Moyan could tell that the shopkeeper was a smart man and wanted them to finish eating and get out quickly so as not to affect his business.

Wen Moyan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "All the dishes on your menu are the same. Bring them up for this uncle to try."

All dishes?

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Girl, this is Zhen Gourmet Restaurant, the largest restaurant in the capital. If you ask for the same portion, there are 108 dishes, and you won't be able to finish it!"

Wen Moyan chuckled lightly: "Whether you finish eating or not is my business, whether you can do it or not is your business!"

When the waiter heard this, he approached the shopkeeper and reminded him in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, isn't she looking for trouble?"

The shopkeeper also felt that Wen Moyan's visit was unkind, but she was a young lady from the General's Mansion, so he couldn't offend her.

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said: "Girl, we can do anything at Zhen Gourmet House, but we open our doors to do business in order to support our family. Look at this money..."

"Are you afraid that I can't afford the money?" Wen Moyan raised her eyebrows and looked at the shopkeeper with a mocking smile on her face.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "This... I don't dare to do it. It's just a small profit and 108 dishes. I really need some protection."

Wen Moyan tapped the table lightly and asked nonchalantly: "How much do you want?"

The shopkeeper stretched out a finger and said, "At least one thousand taels."

When Wen Moyan heard this number, he frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment: "One thousand taels..."

Seeing this, the old beggar hurriedly said: "It's too much, little girl, we don't have to eat so much!"

When the shopkeeper saw this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, girl! Just order a few less!"

Wen Moyan shook his head and said: "That won't work! I, Wen Moyan, want to treat guests, and what I want is noodles!"

Speaking of this, Wen Moyan looked at the old beggar and said with a crooked smile: "Uncle, don't worry, I don't think a thousand taels is too much, I think it's too little."

What? Are you still disgusted with it?
