The road to immortality for a hundred generations

Chapter 165

After drinking two cups of Tianxian, the first dish was served.

"So fast? Could it be a pre-made dish?"

Looking at the steaming bear paw, Wang Feng frowned slightly.

"No, steamed bear paws need to be boiled first, then reduced to low heat and simmered for several hours until the skin becomes smooth and the bones and meat inside are stewed."

"This steamed bear paw should have been cooked a few hours in advance, and it's just cooked now."

"Well, it's cooked in advance and served directly to whoever orders it. It can barely be called a pre-made dish, right?"

"Forget it, never mind it, let's taste it first."

Thinking this, Wang Feng picked up the chopsticks and pinched the bear's paw.

The bear paws on the plate are not whole, but have been deboned and sliced.

Each piece of bear paw is separated by a whole shiitake mushroom, and it is covered with rich soup, which looks very tempting.

After putting a piece of bear paw into his mouth, Wang Feng just chewed it for a moment and felt a mouth full of soup coming out of it.

Even though the meat has been cooked until it becomes soft, it is still chewy and chewy.

"This bear's paw actually doesn't have any fishy smell at all?"

After tasting it carefully, Wang Feng was suddenly surprised.

As a master warrior with very keen senses, he can taste too much fishy smell, which is enough to reflect the technical content of this steamed bear paw dish.

"It seems that this guest is coming to our Tianxian Tower for the first time."

The waiter, who had just finished serving the food and was about to leave, heard this and said with a smile, "The ingredients in our Tianxianlou are all artificially fed. Except for the breeding males, the other males have been instigated since childhood. In addition, They have also been nourished and washed by warriors with true energy for a long time, and our Tianxian Tower also has secret methods about ingredients, so they can finally present such delicious food."

"So this is ah."

Wang Feng nodded suddenly.

He never expected that the breeding industry in Xiantian City would be so developed that even bears could be raised and eaten.

In addition, these ingredients have been used by warriors to cleanse the body with zhenqi since childhood. Gee, this is really a bit of a luxury.

At this time, Yan Xiumin, who was sitting opposite, glanced at the waiter dissatisfied.

She also wanted to use these words to show off in front of the king's cover, but she never expected to be overtaken by a waiter.

"Well, it's been a month since I last had steamed bear paws, and the taste is still the same as in memory. It's delicious, not bad."

After tasting a piece of bear paw, Yan Xiumin was also very satisfied.

Steamed bear paws don’t happen every day.

Otherwise, the seven Tianxian Towers would consume at least a thousand heads every year.

In fact, steamed bear paws are only available in the branch building three days a month. She was sure that steamed bear paws would be available today, so she ordered steamed bear paws.

Not long after, five dishes including steamed duck, soy sauce chicken, braised goose, Sixi meatballs, and braised tofu were served one after another.

The taste is also very good, not much worse than steamed bear paw.

It may even taste better because of preference.

At least Wang Feng likes sauce chicken more than steamed bear paws.

Not long after, half of the cow that Wang Feng had ordered was also brought up.

This time I used an extra large iron pot, in which sliced ​​beef was arranged in categories.

From the current point of view, this Tianxian Tower is no weaker than those star-rated hotels in the previous life, whether in terms of plating technology or pursuit of ingredients.

Even the use of ingredients is better than in the previous life.

After all, there was no warrior in the previous life who used true energy to nourish and wash the food that was still in its infancy.

"Well, let's eat half full."

More than two quarters of an hour later, Wang Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Although I was not full, this meal can be said to be the most enjoyable meal I have ever had.

"How is it? Are you still enjoying yourself?"

Wang Feng looked at Yan Xiumin, who was holding her stomach and leaning on the chair, and asked with a smile.

"It's not bad, I ate a lot."

Yan Xiumin replied casually, "Should we sit for a while, or should we leave directly?"

She was indeed right. With her innate warrior's appetite, she could definitely eat another roast goose.

"Well, let's just go, take a walk after dinner, and live to be 99."

Wang Feng stood up after pondering for a moment.

"Do you still believe this? Which innate warrior can't live to be more than 100 years old?"

Yan Xiumin laughed loudly and said, "If you take a walk after dinner, you can live to 99, right? If I lie down after dinner, I can live to [-]."

"If you live for 1 years, does that make you a ten-thousand-year-old bastard?"

Wang Feng shook his head slightly, and then shouted loudly, "Waiter, check out!"

"Here comes the guest officer!~"

"Here we come!" Yan Xiumin thought to herself, and her expression immediately straightened up.

I really look forward to this tough guy’s face when he knows the bill.

Looking at the waiter walking quickly, Yan Xiumin felt more and more expectant in her heart.

According to normal restaurant calculations, such a table of food would cost at most more than ten taels of silver, and the bulk of it would be on the half of the cow.

But in this Zuixian Tower, the price of half a cow is not as high as the price of a pot of Tianxian Zui.

"Sir, you have ordered seven dishes: steamed bear paw, steamed flower duck, soy sauce chicken, braised goose, Sixi meatballs, half beef with soy sauce, and braised tofu, for a total of two hundred and one taels of silver plus 760 copper coins. "

The waiter fluently reported the price that had been calculated long ago, "In addition, you also ordered two pots of Tianxian Zui, a total of 200 taels of silver. I will give you a small change, and the meal and wine will be charged to you in total 410 and [-] taels." silver."

"This Tianxianzui is quite expensive. Two small pots can match the dishes on the table."

Wang Feng nodded slightly.

"What the guest said is that this Zuixian Brewing can be regarded as the most expensive wine in our Xiantian City."

The waiter in the shop also deeply agreed.

"Here, let's weigh them."

Wang Feng patted the sword box, took out two large and one small from the bottom of the lower layer, and handed over three gold cakes.

This gold cake was made by him using gold ingots, so the two large gold cakes were evenly 20 taels each, which was not enough, so a smaller one had to be built.

"okay,"

The waiter in the store quickly took out the prepared scale and started to weigh it, "This is 43 Liangqi, I'm looking for you [-], please wait a moment."

"what?"

Yan Xiumin watched helplessly as the other party took out three gold cakes, two large and one small, from the sword box to pay for it. The action seemed a bit comfortable.

This, this, this, is it possible that this man is really a rich man?

Otherwise, how could there be no response from a meal worth more than 40 taels of gold?
No, he still reacted. For example, he just complained that Tianxian was drunk enough to pay for the meal on the table.

And the most important thing is that before this, she asked sideways that the other party had indeed just arrived in Xiantian City and had not had time to exchange for silver and gold tickets - otherwise, she would have just paid for the house just now, instead of having to wait until tomorrow. .She also looked around secretly several times, and after making sure there was no place to hide money, she waited to see the joke.

As a result, the other party put the money in the sword box?

It's not like she hasn't thought about the other party putting money in the sword box, but the problem is that she has calculated the 400 taels of silver for this meal. Even if she puts it in the sword box, I'm afraid she won't be able to fit it in - after all, the sword box has to be kept. The one with the sword, right?The space left is definitely not enough for 400 taels of silver.

But he never expected that what the other party brought was gold.

Is the consumption in places outside Xiantian City so high?If you don’t take silver with you when you go out, do you take gold with you?

"I see that you quite like getting drunk with the gods. How about I pack a pot for you?"

Wang Feng weighed the two ounces of broken gold that the waiter found and asked casually.

"Uh, forget it. Let's talk about it next time when we have a chance."

After Yan Xiumin struggled for a moment, she shook her head and refused.

Although she wanted to agree very much, she had just defrauded the other party of more than 40 taels of gold, so she was a little embarrassed.

When she comes to Tianxianlou to eat on weekdays, she doesn't order Tianxian Zui every time, but maybe once every other time.

Eating it twice a month is just over 20 taels of gold.

In other words, the meal she just cheated on the other party cost her two months in Tianxian Tower.

"What? You're still planning on how to trick me next time, right?"

Wang Feng looked at her with a half-smile.

snort!Iron rooster, are your chicken legs exposed?

I saved hundreds of taels of gold for you just to have a meal at Tianxianlou, so I'm afraid I'll have to treat you again next time, right?

I knew it!

Yan Xiumin curled her lips and said angrily, "I am a princess of a country, how could I possibly trick you?"

"That's true,"

Seeing that the desired effect was not achieved, Wang Feng said nothing more and directly changed the subject, "Next, I plan to wander around Beicheng District. Are you going back, or are you helping me get familiar with Beicheng District?"

"For the sake of you treating me to a meal at Tianxian Tower, I will reluctantly take you to get to know Beicheng District."

Yan Xiumin glanced at Wang Feng, then quickened her pace slightly and walked half way in front of Wang Feng.

"Here, on the street where Tianxian Tower is located, it is probably the most expensive place in Beicheng District. This rouge gouache store is very famous in Beicheng District, but it is only famous locally. The rouge gouache store in that store is a branch of the DC District. There are also branches in the other two southwest cities, which are similar to Tianxian Tower, but slightly lower than Tianxian Tower."

"There is also this weapon shop, that medicine shop, and several other cloth shops, rice shops, and brothels. They are all similar to Tianxian Tower, but they are all a bit lower than Tianxian Tower."

Yan Xiumin said a lot in one breath, while Wang Feng didn't say anything and listened quietly.

When the other party had almost finished what he said, he was surprised and said: "In other words, the DC area has a monopoly on almost all businesses in the inner city?"

At this time, Wang Feng already had speculations in his mind.

Behind these shops, I am afraid they are closely related to the nine grand master families in the DC area.

"That's not true,"

Yan Xiumin shook her head slightly, "They only have one branch in other urban areas. It can only be said that they have a monopoly on the high-end business. The rest are all handled by families in the local area."

"For example, the cloth shop I just mentioned, they raise several kinds of silkworms that can spin silk. The fabrics woven from the silk threads of those insects have some special effects, such as ice silk."

"There is also that rice store. They sell a kind of crystal clear and fragrant exotic rice, which is deeply loved by wealthy businessmen and warriors."

"The same is true for several other companies."

"So it is."

Wang Feng nodded suddenly. It seemed that he could still develop in Beicheng District.

Isn't it just from low-end to high-end?

Many companies in his previous life were his benchmark.

For example, Xiaomi, Pinduoduo, and even Haier and ZTE have all developed from low-end to high-end step by step.

But he soon felt something was wrong.

Since everyone is special, what is the meaning of the brothel mixed in among them?
Is there something special about this brothel?
But after all, the other party was a woman, so he couldn't ask clearly. He could only wait for a while and then personally find out what the mystery was in this brothel that was as famous as several others.

After walking around Beicheng District for a few times, Wang Feng discovered that there were actually several local stores in Beicheng District that could compete with those from the DC District Grandmaster's businesses.

For example, there is a local shop called Chen's Time-honored Rouge Gouache in Beicheng District, a local brothel called Passing Smoke, and a drug store called Bencaotang.

Although it seems that the local power is not weak, it will make it difficult for him to develop after coming here.

But in fact, the enemies in Wang Feng's eyes are not the local forces at all, but the shops owned by the masters from the DC area.

Those branches from the DC area can't even find a monopoly.

This also means that as long as he is capable enough, he can get a share of the high-end businesses in Beicheng District.

"Forget it, don't waste all that effort, just make it an ancient version of a lottery shop."

Wang Feng shook his head slightly and decided to have a direct attack.

First of all, the grandmasters of Xiantian City are usually in the DC area and receive taxes from Xiantian City.

This also means that as long as he does not go to the DC area, he will not be restricted by the Grandmaster in the remaining places.

As a mid-level master warrior, he would naturally crush those forces without a master.

So there is no need to worry about the lottery shop not being able to open.

"Today's Xiantian City, including the outer city, has a population of over 200 million. Excluding the DC area, which has a population of about 20, there are at least 180 million."

"In the previous life, China had a population of 14 billion, but there were more than [-] million lottery players, a ratio of more than five to one."

"In other words, if the lottery shop develops, there will be about 40 lottery players in the entire Xiantian City?"

"If we use 2 copper coins per person per day, that would be 80 copper coins per day, which is equivalent to 80 taels of gold."

"After excluding the cost of opening a store and taxes, when it stabilizes, the income should be 30 taels of gold per day, which is about 1 taels of gold per year."

"Although not everyone buys it every day, and not everyone only buys two coppers, but calculated this way, there is still something to be done."

After a rough calculation, Wang Feng had a clue in his mind.

In fact, he also knows that the actual profit will only be higher than the calculation.

Because there were 5000 million lottery players in the previous life, the annual lottery sales reached more than [-] billion.

On average, each person can buy lottery tickets for 5 yuan a day.

In other words, it is not impossible for the actual profits to double after the lottery store is launched.

Moreover, this price in the previous life is a reference.

Because most people who bought lottery tickets in previous lives were working-class people.

Just in line with most people in Xiantian City.

After all, the people in Xiantian City are not those outsiders who don't even have enough to eat.

People here are basically on the food and clothing line.

Therefore, it is entirely possible to squeeze out two copper coins every day to buy lottery tickets.
