Chapter 42: Three extremely delicious and expensive treasures, targeted by Xu Jiayin

"The three treasures are the signature dishes of Niu Ji, namely Farewell My Concubine, Fight of the Dragon and Tiger, and A Thousand Pieces of Gold."

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "This name sounds quite high-end."

"These three treasures are more than just high-end names. You will know after the dishes are served."

Half an hour later, the first dish, a ton of gold, was served.

Before the dishes were brought into the house, Lu Ming smelled a strong aroma, which made his eyes light up.

When the dishes were served, the tempting aroma wafted out from the plate and went straight into Lu Ming's nostrils.

He perked up: "What a nice smell!"

Looking at the plate, all you see is golden color.

"This color does correspond to the color of gold. If I'm not mistaken, this is a plate of fried eggs."

Ah Le couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks: "You are only half right."

He picked up a piece of fried egg with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, his face full of enjoyment.

"This is indeed a plate of fried eggs, but it is not a simple fried egg. This plate of fried eggs is made with eggs from eighteen kinds of monsters and birds using a special method and a secret soup. It not only tastes great, but is also very nutritious."

Seeing Ah Le's satisfied expression, Lu Ming couldn't help but take a bite.

The moment the fried egg entered his mouth, the aroma filled his mouth, and the tenderness of the fried egg whetted his taste buds.

"good to eat!"

He couldn't help but speed up the process of picking up chopsticks, and even an afterimage appeared.

The fried eggs disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made Ah Le very anxious.

"Save some for me."

A plate of fried eggs is finished in less than half a minute!

At the same time, the second dish, Fighting Dragon and Tiger, was also served.

This dish is made with a level 23 dragon-tail snake and a level 20 mountain tiger, both of which are made from the tail, using a braised method.

Lu Ming couldn't stop eating after just one bite. The juice burst out with one bite, and it was chewy and elastic when put in the mouth, and the taste was delicious.

I had just taken two bites when the last dish of Farewell My Concubine was served.

This dish uses a level 20 Red-bellied Chicken and a level 26 Rock Turtle, and is equally delicious.

Born in China in his previous life, Lu Ming believed that Chinese cuisine was the best on Blue Planet, but the three dishes he ate today were more delicious than anything he had eaten in his previous life.

These dishes are not just delicious, because the ingredients used are all from monsters and contain rich energy. After eating three dishes, Lu Ming was actually half full.

Ah Le wiped his mouth and said, "How is it? This dish is delicious, right?"

“It’s really delicious.”

"Then you can pay the bill."

When Lu Ming paid the bill, he looked surprised.

"Could you repeat that?"

The waiter said again: "Thank you for the favor, thirty thousand gold coins."

As for the price of the meal, Lu Ming knew that it would not be cheap. After all, dishes made from monster meat are ten times more expensive than ordinary dishes. And these three dishes are so delicious. They are the signature dishes of Niu Ji.

However, the price of 30,000 gold coins was indeed beyond his expectations.

Seeing Lu Ming's surprise, Ah Le said, "Thirty thousand gold coins is not a high price. The cost of the ingredients used in these three dishes alone is close to twenty thousand gold coins."

Then he looked at the waiter and said, "Brother, give me a discount."

The waiter smiled and said, "Ah Le, since you asked, I'll charge you the cost, 20,000 gold coins."

"Brother is awesome!"

Seeing this, Lu Ming said nothing more and directly took out 20,000 gold coins to pay the bill.

When the two walked out of the box, countless diners stared at them. They wanted to see who was so arrogant to eat all three treasures at once.

Looking at Lu Ming and the other man, everyone was a little surprised.

"They are just two little kids. Could they be from a powerful group?"

"Definitely not. I've seen the older one before. He's a shop assistant."

Amid the discussion among the crowd, the two men left. When Ah Le was leaving, the waiter from Niu Ji handed him a lunch box.

"The shopkeeper told me to take it back to your uncle!"

Ah Le took the lunch box very naturally and left.

Niuji Kitchen

A waiter came to the cattle group and said, "Boss, Ale and the others have left."

"Where's the food?"

"He took it with him, too."

The waiter whispered, "Ale wanted a discount, so I took the initiative and reduced it by 10,000 gold coins."

Niu Qun's hands moved as usual: "It doesn't matter, he doesn't have to take a cent."

"The villain understands."

Because they still needed to purchase some daily necessities, Lu Ming and A Le separated after leaving the restaurant.

He didn't notice that there were two people following him stealthily.

After purchasing the supplies, Lu Ming went straight into the mountains.

Watching Lu Ming enter the mountain, the two people who had been following him stopped.

A bearded man said, "Brother, this guy has gone into the mountains. Should we follow him?"

The leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties named Xu Jiayin, who had been in Black Stone Mountain for many years.

There was a cunning gleam in his eyes.

"Let's follow him and see. If he is alone, we will attack him. If there are others, we will retreat."

When Xu Jiayin and his friends were at Niu Ji, they saw that Lu Ming spent 30,000 gold coins on a single meal. They guessed that he must be a rich man, so they set their sights on him.

As the old saying goes, "Don't show off your wealth, don't show off your wealth!"

Once you become rich and show off too much, it is easy for people to notice you.

Lu Ming was followed because he had an expensive meal at Niu Ji. More importantly, he was alone, which made him even more of a target for thieves.

Since the advent of Pokémon, Lu Ming's camping site is no longer fixed. He can camp wherever he wants.

After walking for nearly an hour, Lu Ming set up camp under a big tree.

The two people who were following him were shocked when they saw Lu Ming take out countless supplies out of thin air.

"Brother, how did he do it?"

Xu Jiayin didn’t know how Lu Ming did it, but he knew he was going to get rich.

Not to mention the money Lu Ming had on him, once he obtained this magical storage ability, he would gain countless wealth.

"We'll know once we capture this guy."

"Brother, when are we going to start? I can't wait any longer."

Xu Jiayin grinned: "Since you can't wait, do it now!"

As he spoke, he appeared and walked towards Lu Ming.

Seeing this, the bearded man immediately followed.

As soon as they appeared, they aroused Lu Ming's vigilance.

Outside, fortune tellers have always followed an unwritten rule.

Fortune tellers who don’t know each other won’t get close to each other easily!

This is because fortune tellers basically control fortune beasts to fight, and their own combat power is limited. There are even quite a few fortune tellers who are completely powerless.

In order to prevent close-range sneak attacks, this unspoken rule came into being.

But now, not only were Xu Jiayin and the others approaching quickly, but Lu Ming could also see ill intentions from their expressions.

"Stop!" Lu Ming shouted softly, trying to get him to stop.
