Chapter 505: Chapter 0505: New Dish (Seeking Subscriptions)

Nighttime. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Bai Jing restaurant is open as usual, but the customers seem more sparse than before.

After all, there was just an attack on Xin Yue Clubhouse in the city, and the place is still on high alert. Few people are in the mood to go out and drink in the evening.

Su Lu didn’t mind; he hung up his new menu next to the old one.

The dishes listed on it were quite simple:

‘Roasted Ribs – 9999!’

‘Wild Stew – 49999!’

‘Homemade Liquor – 66666!’

…

The menu contains only a few dishes, but the prices are enough to blind anyone.

Su Lu planned to make use of some leftover spiritual materials he didn’t consider valuable. This was his way of making a last profit.

Of course, it also depended on whether he could find a big spender.

“Boss Bai!”

After waiting for a while, Li Weiwei and Lin Hong arrived together. They subconsciously glanced at the menu, noticed the new dishes, and their eyes lit up.

However, Li Weiwei was immediately taken aback: “Boss… Did you write the price wrong? Or did you forget the decimal point?”

“That is the price.”

Su Lu rolled his eyes.

“Hehe… Little brother Bai, you might be accused of ripping off your customers,” Lin Hong said. She wasn’t at all concerned and took a seat.

Being a big shot, she wasn’t intimidated by these prices.

“Hiding the real price would be deceitful. I’m openly marking the prices, clearing out the stock, and having a blood-letting sale…” Su Lu said with a shrug.

“Haha…Boss Bai, you’re really funny.”

A man who was sitting in one of the seats burst into laughter: “If the price could be discounted by 90%, I might order a portion of ribs to support Boss Bai.”

“Thanks for the thought, but no need.”

Su Lu recognized him; he was a regular customer with the last name ‘Huang’. He seemed to be quite wealthy, but definitely couldn’t afford the new dishes on the menu.

“Then forget it.”

Huang Fatty sat back down, cursing in his mind – who would buy such expensive food? Are they insane?

“Let’s just order some regular dishes for now.”

Lin Hong and Li Weiwei sat down, somewhat distracted.

About half an hour later, Cheng Feng walked in from outside!

“Mr. Cheng!”

Both Lin Hong and Li Weiwei were relieved when they saw him.

“We meet again.”

Cheng Feng sat down, poured himself a full glass of beer and drank it all in one gulp. He then exhaled and contentedly muttered, “So good…”

The beer was, in fact, the same beer as before.

But the sensation of escaping death infused the mundane beer with a sweet taste. However, Cheng Feng could not discuss the details of his narrow escape in such a public place, so he focussed on eating and drinking.

Moreover, the purpose of this gathering was to show Li Weiwei and Lin Hong that he was alive and well, devoid of any missing limbs or parts. That was more than enough.

“Huh?”

After drinking several glasses, Cheng Feng happened to look up and saw the new menu, which made him laugh: “Boss Bai has new dishes?”

“Yes, they are limited edition due to the rarity of the ingredients.”

Su Lu straightforwardly replied.

“Then I’ll order a portion of the roasted ribs first.”

Cheng Feng, a wealthy man with a good mood, didn’t even consider the price: “And a cup of the homemade liquor!”

“Alright!”

Su Lu went to the back kitchen, took out a large piece of ribs from the fridge, measured it, cut a rib, and began to defrost and grill it.

Meanwhile, Huang Fatty kept a sharp eye on him, “This is beef? Lamb? Wild boar? It doesn’t look like it… It can’t be a lion or tiger, right?”

“Ingredient classification is a secret!”

Su Lu smiled mysteriously, put the rib on the grill to roast, occasionally coating it with honey.

Sizzle!

An incredible aroma instantly spread throughout the restaurant.

It was not just a pleasant aroma, but the tantalizing scent of meat that seemed to call out to every cell in the body, sensing the chance for evolution.

This feeling was notably more intense for Li Weiwei and Cheng Feng.

“So good! So good!”

Huang Fatty unconsciously swallowed, unable to control himself.

He kind of wanted to splurge and give it a try, but what little sense was left in him was strenuously defending his wallet. He could only gulp down his saliva, rabidly eating the starters on his table.

“Here are the ribs and the liquor.”

A moment later, Su Lu placed a juicy, golden-brown rib and a piece of bamboo tube in front of Cheng Feng.

“Is this beef? Lamb? Wild boar? Doesn’t look like it… Guess I’d have to eat it to find out.”

Cheng Feng was very curious and turned towards the bamboo tube, “This is the homemade liquor? Why is the portion so small?”

The portion of ribs was just one, hardly enough for him to enjoy.

The bamboo tube was just a piece, and its capacity wasn’t too much either.

“That’s all there is.”

Su Lu showed a nonchalant expression and went back behind the counter.

‘Boss Bai has changed a lot, hasn’t he? Has he become more confident after becoming a Transcendent?’

Li Weiwei held back her saliva while hurriedly sending a message.

“I’m eating first.”

Lin Hong, on the other hand, didn’t care about these things. She reached for the chopsticks to get the ribs.

“That’s what I ordered…”

Cheng Feng protested, then mimed a cutting gesture with his hands: “Cut it into three parts, one for each of us!”

As he spoke, he opened the bamboo tube, sniffed it, and the expression on his face became intoxicated: “Good liquor!”

Both he and Lin Hong were veterans of ‘Alcohol Tests’, and could discern from the smell that the liquor was good. Their eyes immediately brightened.

Cheng Feng tilted the bamboo tube and poured out a slightly cloudy liquid emitting a fruity and woody aroma from the top hole.

“So it’s a fruit wine!”

He filled a small cup with wine and was reluctant to start drinking: “Boss Bai, you’re really talented…”

“It’s something I casually made when I was camping and picked up some things.”

Su Lu replied without much concern.

At this moment, Cheng Feng had taken a sip and was completely lost in the taste. He ignored everyone and everything around him as an intense and smooth flavor exploded on his tongue. The liquid felt like a line of fire going down his throat, but it didn’t feel spicy at all. In fact, it had an amazing aftertaste.

“Um…”

At that time, Li Weiwei bit onto a piece of rib. Her eyes immediately lit up, and soon she was stuffing her face with meat like a chipmunk. She quickly finished her portion and started looking longingly at Lin Hong and Cheng Feng’s plates.

‘Is it that good?’

Lin Hong rolled her eyes, picked up a slice of meat, and put it in her mouth. Her eyes immediately squinted in delight.

The meat had the sweetness of beef, the tenderness of chicken, and the deliciousness of fish. It was indescribable.

After finishing a slice of meat, she took a sip of wine. She stopped doing anything else and only focused on eating and drinking. The food on the table was disappearing quickly.

“Hey…you guys.”

Cheng Feng finally recovered from his reverie and laughed at the sight of the two ladies across from him eating voraciously.

At that moment, Li Weiwei had already finished her meal. After pondering for a while, she suddenly sent a message: “This… this is not ordinary food! It’s a magic potion! A secret drug! I can feel myself being enhanced!”

Cheng Feng’s face immediately turned serious.
