Beggar's Chicken

I don't know how long it had been, but the sky outside was gradually darkening, and the old monster in front of Lin Feng was still unhurriedly drinking wine and eating meat.

More and more curious diners gathered around to watch.

"Hey, I heard this old beggar has been eating for three to five hours."

"Three to five hours? Is he a hungry ghost reborn?"

"Alas, this old beggar is starting to scam people again."

............

"Master, our restaurant is preparing for the evening banquet, what do you think?"

The restaurant manager walked over and spoke very politely.

He had to be polite; the cost of just this one table alone was equivalent to one-tenth of the restaurant's daily revenue.

"Old sir, what else would you like to eat?"

Lin Feng looked at the old beggar respectfully, without the slightest hint of disdain.

"Ah, I heard that this Drunken Immortal Restaurant's Beggar's Chicken is a peerless delicacy. All my life, I've wanted to eat a meal of Drunken Immortal Restaurant's Beggar's Chicken. Once I've eaten this Beggar's Chicken, I will naturally tell you the rest of the story."

"Heh heh, it's just one Beggar's Chicken. Manager, go prepare it."

"Eh, not one, I want to eat ten."

The old beggar quickly waved his hand, emphasizing.

"Haha, whatever. Manager, go prepare 10 Beggar's Chickens for me."

"Ah? Um, Master, you may not know, our Drunken Immortal Restaurant's Beggar's Chicken is a peerless delicacy, so it's a bit expensive..."

"Expensive? How expensive can it be?"

Lin Feng said dismissively, it's just a chicken, can it be more expensive than gold?

"Cough cough, each Beggar's Chicken is 500 taels of silver."

The manager cleared his throat and said loudly.

"Five hundred taels of silver? Did this chicken grow up eating gold beans or something?"

Lin Feng sneered, a Beggar's Chicken for five hundred taels of silver, would any fool really buy that??

"Master, this must be your first time dining at our restaurant, right?"

The manager smiled, not getting angry.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Regular customers of Drunken Immortal Restaurant know that the Beggar's Chicken here uses spirit chickens, which are raised on spirit rice and spirit spring water from a young age. The taste is extremely delicious, and eating it not only prolongs life but also strengthens the body, so the price isn't really that expensive."

Spirit chickens?

If it was really as the manager said, then the price was indeed acceptable.

"Alright then, give me 20. I want to see if this Beggar's Chicken is as miraculous as you say."

Lin Feng casually took out several gold bricks from his System Space and threw them over, weighing about a hundred catties.

"Conjuring things out of thin air, this is immortal magic! This young man is actually a cultivator!"

"Tsk tsk, Manager, you'd better serve him well. If he finds anything unsatisfactory, your restaurant might be in trouble."

The surrounding diners were all amazed after seeing Lin Feng's ability to conjure things out of thin air.

"Haha, everyone, rest assured, my Drunken Immortal Restaurant has never used inferior goods to pass off as good. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been in business for a hundred years."

The manager cupped his hands, then had two waiters take the gold and leave.

As for Lin Feng's identity as a cultivator, he wasn't very afraid, after all, his restaurant also had backing, otherwise, where would these spirit chickens come from?

Of course, he wasn't going to use any inferior ingredients.

What he told the diners just now was all true; Drunken Immortal Restaurant had been operating for over a hundred years and had never used inferior ingredients. No matter what the ingredient, it had to be the best.

"20 Beggar's Chickens, how many do we still have in our restaurant?"

"Replying to the manager, there are still fifteen."

"Quickly send someone to get some more."

"Yes, Manager."

..............

On the other side, in the main hall on the first floor, after learning of Lin Feng's identity, many of the diners who had been watching the commotion also left.

Watching a cultivator make a fool of himself was not a good business; they still wanted to live.

The old beggar, however, was not surprised, because he had deduced Lin Feng's cultivation the moment he first saw him.

Although his cultivation was sealed, it didn't mean that his years of experience in judging people were sealed.

Night fell, and with wafts of intoxicating aroma, a dozen dancers carried the Beggar's Chickens over.

At this time, the leftovers on the table had already been cleaned up.

"It really smells good."

Lin Feng sniffed the scent in the air and said.

He had eaten Beggar's Chicken a few times before, but he had never seen one with such a rich aroma.

Just for this smell alone, Lin Feng didn't care about the price anymore.

"Immortal, there are fifteen in total, and five more that the oven couldn't fit. Please wait a moment."

"No need, just give those five to five random tables."

"Then, then thank you for the immortal's generosity! Did you all hear that? Hurry and thank the immortal!"

The manager didn't expect Lin Feng to be so generous, so he quickly shouted.

The surrounding diners all came forward to thank Lin Feng. Beggar's Chickens worth five hundred taels of silver each, just given away like that, and he gave away five at once.

Cultivators are too rich, aren't they??

After eating ten, the old beggar indeed stopped eating. He drank the last mouthful of wine and then staggered to his feet.

"Old sir, where are you going?"

"I'm just going to relieve myself."

The old beggar finished speaking and walked out of the restaurant.

Seeing this, the manager quickly stepped forward and said, "Immortal, this old man is probably trying to trick you. Don't let him leave."

"It's fine."

Lin Feng waved his hand, not caring.

A Nascent Soul Stage mighty figure, would he do such a thing for a meal? Besides, Lin Feng didn't care for this gold; he had as much as he wanted.

Lin Feng put the remaining five Beggar's Chickens on the table into his System Space, intending to savor them carefully back in the Elevator.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, as the discussions among the surrounding diners grew louder, the old beggar finally staggered back in through the main door.

"Boy, come, follow me. I'll secretly tell you the rest of the story."

The old beggar burped, then left the restaurant on his own.

Seeing this, Lin Feng got up and followed him out.

"Immortal, your change!"

The manager quickly called out.

"It's a reward."

Although Lin Feng had already left the restaurant at this time, his voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

...................

"Old sir, where are you going?"

"Just follow. Boy, you are the chosen one. I have waited a long time for the chosen one."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Lin Feng was stunned. The old beggar didn't say much, and as time passed, his aura gradually grew stronger.

Lin Feng was terrified when he saw this and quickly scanned the old man. Only then did he discover that he had already lifted the seal on his cultivation.

"Your Excellency, I have waited for the person you requested. Do not forget what you promised me."
