Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Here Comes a Freeloader

In the county yamen.

Lu Lin counted the silver in his hand and said excitedly, "The Roast Whole Lamb is sold for 80 tales! Fancy!"

"I thought we would have to ask our friends to act like they are customers and bid for it," Chen Xiao Mi muttered.

Chen Xiao Mi had long planned that if there were no offers over 20 taels of silver, they would buy it themselves. The purpose of this auction was not to make money, but to make a name for Roast Whole Lamb.

The auction went better than they could possibly thought.

A young master bought the lamb for 80 tales of silver would cause an uproar in the county for sure.

Chen Xiao Cai looked at Lu Lin and asked curiously, "Lin Ge, what has inspired you to cook Roast Whole Lamb?"

'Because it's a famous dish in modern times, so I took the liberty to try it myself.' Thought Lu Lin.

"I thought about it on a whim, I'm tired of all the old dishes, so I was feeling inventive."

In Lu Lin's previous life, he had tried Roast Whole Lamb twice when he when went out for dinner. It was a luxury for him and his friends as well, an authentic Roast Whole Lamb was usually 800 Yuan, they couldn't afford to have it all the time.

It was said that the Roast Whole Lamb was invented accidentally, a shepherd had accidently burned down his house and all the sheep had died in the fire. However, the aroma of the dead sheep wafted across the whole village, the shepherd was overjoyed and made a fortune since that accident.

Chen Xiao Cai looked at Lu Lin and said, "Lin Ge, that was some bold invention, to roast a whole lamb?"

Lu Lin glared at Chen Xiao Cai and thought to himself, 'Chen Xiao Cai, you're a little brat, you should be thanking me instead of judging me.'

"If I'm not bold, how can you make this 80 taels?"

Chen Xiao Cai scratched his head and said, "Lin Ge, you're right."

"I think the villagers will start to raise sheep now. The cost of raising sheep will probably go up too."

Chen Xiao Cai nodded, "Big Brother, you are right. I heard that just after the auction, the villagers have swarmed to the market to buy sheep."

Lu Lin wasn't that surprised, this wasn't the first time that he had set a trend.

Chen Xiao Cai didn't stay for too long, he was here to give Lu Lin his cut of the Roast Whole Lamb.

Chen Xiao Mi cupped his face in hands and asked Lu Lin, "Do you often eat Roast Whole Lamb in your hometown?"

Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiao Cai and said, "I wish that were the case! You need to have a proper occasion for this kind of dish."

"Because it requires the right atmosphere?" Chen Xiao Cai asked.

Lu Lin nodded, "But most importantly, I didn't have much money. I could order the whole lamb and share it with strangers, but I didn't have that kind of money."

Chen Xiao Mi patted Lu Lin's shoulder and said, "You can eat as much as you want now, Lin."

Lu Lin smiled, 'Yeah, to some agree, there's significant improvement in my living standards now.'

......

In the yard.

Yuan Bao who was gulping down a pancake waved at Lu Lin and said expectantly, "Father, they all said that Roast Whole Lamb is delicious."
