Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Auction

In one of Chen Xiao Cai's restaurant.

A well-dressed young master stood in front of the counter and asked leisurely, "How much is it?"

"Ten taels and twenty-three cents, just give me ten taels," the shop assistant said carefully.

"Here you are," the young master casually threw out an ingot, and the assistant quickly took it.

"Thank you so much, distinguished customer, please come back again time," the shopkeeper said respectfully.

The customers in the restaurant stole a glance at the young master and whispered to one another.

Ten taels of silver was a large sum to many people in Sha County. The customers couldn't believe someone had actually spent ten taels on a meal.

The young master and his friends then walked out of the restaurant with chest and head high.

They started discussing as soon as they left the restaurant.

"The dishes in this restaurant are pretty good!"

"The food is pretty good. It's just the busboys are so green and inexperienced, have you seen their faces when we order so much? And the assistant at the counter has even stammered when he found out we blew 10 taels of silver over a meal." said a young master in an arrogant way.

"This is not the capital city. Many people here have less than 10 taels of silver income all year round."

"I feel sorry for those people," a young man in a blue robe played with the folding fan in his hand.

"I don't know what secret ingredients they have put in the spicy crabs. They are tastier than the crabs in the Heaven Aroma in the capital city."

"How are we supposed to know, you've said it yourself, they've put secret ingredients."

"Can you imagine how much money we can make if we know the recipe."

"Don't talk nonsense! The recipe is created by Magistrate Lu, who is His Highness Cheng's friend. Let's watch our tongues and not say anything that might offend Magistrate Lu."

"His Highness Cheng seems to have all the recipes created by Magistrate Lu, but His Highness isn't interested in opening a restaurant. He is already very rich."

After Highness Cheng returned to the capital city from Sha County, he would invite people to his manor for gatherings. All the influential officials took pride in being invited to the exclusive gatherings for the unique delicacies. And he had been promoting Sha County to all of his friends.

The reason why so many people came to Sha County was related to Highness Cheng as well.

......

Chen Xiao Cai walked into one of his restaurants this day, and the shopkeeper greeted him immediately.

"Boss, a young master came over today and ordered all the dishes on the menu. He and his friends tried a few bites from each dish and they paid about ten taels of silver."

The dishes in Chen Xiao Cai's restaurants were originally on the cheap side. However, Chen Xiao Cai accepted Lu Lin's suggestion and launched some high-end dishes after the young masters from the capital city came to Sha County. Ordinary people wouldn't order these dishes, but they were perfect for the rich young masters who were always looking for opportunities to flaunt their wealth. But in fact, these high-end dishes weren't much different from the ordinary dishes.

Chen Xiao Cai nodded and said, "Sounds great. You can send the leftovers to Yun Niang who is in charge of cooking for the construction teams."

There were many people working for the Hot Springs Project. They were not picky eaters, and they welcomed leftovers from the restaurants.
