Evil Crown Prince’s Stunning Wife - C285

“I’ll go first.”

Just as the shopkeeper finished speaking, someone came out to speak first. Liu Xinyue looked at him and realised that it was someone he had met before when he was entertaining the restaurant downstairs.

His name was Li Shu, and he came together with the son of the Minister of Revenue, Li Hong. His identity was Li Ru’s son, and he was still studying to prepare for the fall exam. However, his appearance was average, but he had no hair on his head.

Thus, this person’s identity was also easily remembered.

“Young Master Li, please speak.”

To be able to become a storekeeper, the first thing he needed to do was to have a pair of superior perception and a memory that surpassed ordinary people.

At the very least, he had to remember the names and corresponding identities of every guest who came to attend tonight. It was clear that this shopkeeper from wan chun tang had done very well.

“Of these three dishes, I’ve only tasted the leftmost dark dish. I’ve named it Black Vegetable.”

Seeing this, Li Shu quickly explained his feelings.

“This black dish looks really ugly. I didn’t want to try it in the beginning either.”

“But then I thought that wan chun tang is the number one medicine store in the capital, and it was impossible for them to take out something that they couldn’t eat for us to eat. Thus, I mustered up my courage to take a bite.”

As he said this, Li Shu’s expression suddenly turned extremely exaggerated, as if he had eaten a peerless delicacy. He said slowly, “Who knows, this mouthful will make me fall in love with this black dish in an instant.”

“The moment this black vegetable entered my mouth, its sweetness immediately engulfed my entire mouth, making me feel as if I was surrounded by sweetness. My entire being was filled with a feeling of happiness.”

After saying that, Li Shu made the gesture of hugging something in the air, closing his eyes and looking intoxicated. The onlookers were speechless.

“…” Putting aside the evaluation of dishes, just this action alone made Liu Xinyue roll his eyes at Li Shu.

“Young Master Li is indeed worthy of being a scholar. His words are filled with literary talent. Perhaps even those who have never tasted this black dish would be able to imagine that kind of sweet feeling after listening to Young Master Li’s description.”

Hearing Li Shu’s description made the shopkeeper want to laugh. However, as a shopkeeper with good professional ethics, he could not just laugh at this.

“However, Young Master Li named this dish Black Vegetables. It is rather fitting.”

Finally, the shopkeeper added with a smile.

Having received such a compliment from the shopkeeper, Li Shu immediately felt elated. He was greatly satisfied with his vanity, and it was in front of so many people that he made a name for himself.

After enjoying everyone’s attention, Li Shu returned to his seat.

Because of Li Hong, Li Shu had made them suffer humiliation, and his father had angrily flicked his sleeves as he left, but he still hadn’t come back. This caused Li Shu, who always cared about face, to feel ashamed and angry at Li Hong at the same time.

However, it was good now. He finally found an opportunity to change everyone’s impression of them.

“Besides Young Master Li, is there anyone else who is willing to come out and talk about the taste of these three dishes?”

After Li Shu had finished speaking, the shopkeeper, seeing that no one else had made a sound, could not help but ask.

“I’ll do it!”

The second person to stand out was someone Liu Xinyue did not expect to be Chen Jiahe.

“Young Master Chen, what do you think?” The shopkeeper looked over, recognized Chen Jiahe, and asked with a smile.

“I’ll tell you about this black dish as well.” Chen Jiahe did not stand up like Li Shu, but sat on the praying mat and pointed at the black dish in front of him.

“After tasting this dish, I feel that it’s exactly the same as Li Shu.”

Saying that, Chen Jiahe suddenly looked at Liu Xinyue and said, “Although it’s sweet, it’s not so unbearable, and there’s a cool feeling within the sweetness. It’s a great feeling, I can’t really tell.”

“However, my brother’s friend said that he ate the raw materials for the black cabbage.”

When these words came out, everyone immediately looked at Liu Xinyue, their gazes full of curiosity and doubt.

“You ate the raw material of the black cabbage?”

The shopkeeper was also shocked by Chen Jiahe’s words and hurriedly looked towards Liu Xinyue, who Chen Jiahe had pointed out. He carefully thought back to the other party’s identity and realised that this person had come with He Jinlan, and was even using his identity as a doctor.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper glanced at the man in white clothes beside him. Seeing that he didn’t have any reaction, he relaxed and continued to ask.

“I remember that this person should be the doctor brought by Madam He.”

The shopkeeper looked at Liu Xinyue and asked while smiling, “I just don’t know if you tasted the raw materials from the black vegetables?”

The boss paid a huge price to get a successor of the Demon Chef to cook this black dish. Who would have thought that there would actually be someone who could taste its raw materials?

He Jinlan didn’t think that this topic would suddenly fall onto her shoulders, or perhaps even the Liu Xinyue she brought over.

Although she came a little too suddenly, this was still a good thing for her. The first benefit was that she would be able to show her face in front of these people.

It had to be known, that if Liu Xinyue got attention, that meant that she would also get attention. After all, she was the one who brought Liu Xinyue here.

Liu Xinyue never thought that this topic would involve him at all. He glanced at Chen Jiahe, and upon seeing the hidden sense of pride on his face, he knew that this fellow was doing this for the sake of publicly verifying what he had said previously.

It was just a child’s game. Although it went against his purpose of being low-key, if he was destined to be high-profile, then he might as well be high-profile.

As for Chen Jiamu, after Chen Jiahe said those words, the smile on his face disappeared, but he did not look at Chen Jiahe, but rather focused on him, afraid that she would not be able to handle this matter.

But before Liu Xinyue could speak, He Jinlan who was seated in front spoke first.

She covered her mouth and laughed, then said: “Innkeeper, this is indeed the doctor I brought, his name is Huo Zhongxi.”

He paused for a moment, and then saw He Jinlan’s introduction, “Dr. Huo is a person from Jiangnan, and is honored as the genius doctor in Jiangnan. This time, they came to the capital under my invitation.”

These words seemed to say that Liu Xinyue came here because of her invitation, if not for her invitation, you all would not have been able to see this kind of genius doctor.

“I never thought that this Doctor Huo Zhongxi would actually be a genius doctor, he’s really amazing.”

Although the shopkeeper said so, he didn’t think so in his heart. After all, he had seen too many people who were addressed as such in such an exaggerated manner, but most of them were people who didn’t have much ability.
