The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 653 Let’s get straight to the point

Lu Xiaofeng, the man with four eyebrows, is very famous in the martial arts world.

The Sword God Ximen Chuxue is also very famous in the martial arts world.

The Hua family is very famous in the underworld, but Hua Manlou is not that famous in the underworld.

But following two famous people in the world, no matter how unknown you are, you can still attract attention.

The beautiful woman sitting behind the desk in the inn looked at Lu Xiaofeng with two eyebrows.

Look at Ximen Chuxue, who is holding a long sword and wearing white clothes.

The beautiful woman took a quick glance at Hua Manlou, who had a handsome face but pale pupils, and asked with a smile.

"Gentlemen, are you staying at the hotel or just stopping for a meal?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the beautiful woman with a pretty face and a smile on her face. He didn't say whether she wanted to stay in the hotel or just stop over. He just lay down on the table and smiled.

"I heard something big happened in Golden State, so we came to see the excitement."

"In the end, I ran into the boss lady. Don't you think it's fate?"

The beautiful woman looked at Lu Xiaofeng's smile and asked back with a smile on her face.

"Oh, sir, have you ever seen me?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head: "I have never seen it, but I feel a sense of familiarity in my heart."

The beautiful woman covered her mouth and smiled: "Young Master is really eloquent, but it's a pity that I am already middle-aged. If I had met you earlier, I would not have let you go."

Lu Xiaofeng blinked: "How can a young beauty who can make people fall in love at first sight be a middle-aged woman? You are too modest."

The beautiful woman smiled and retorted: "It's a pity that I already have someone in my heart. I'm afraid I will disappoint you, sir."

Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng had started joking with the beautiful woman in just a few words, Hua Manlou shook his head slightly, while Ximen Chuxue looked around at the people from the martial arts world who were resting with their eyes closed in the lobby of the inn.

Everyone looked over, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't care, so he naturally wouldn't care either.

Lu Xiaofeng asked with a smile, throwing out two silver ingots.

"We want to see some fun. I wonder if the boss lady has any gossip here?"

When the beautiful woman saw the silver, she also smiled and scolded.

"I knew that you, my enemy, would look down on an old lady like me. It turns out that you came here to get information."

After weighing the silver in her hand, the beautiful woman shook her head and sighed.

"It's a pity that this little money can't buy the information you want."

Lu Xiaofeng was surprised. He threw out twenty taels of silver, which was enough to feed an ordinary family for two years.

He had just met the beautiful woman and was merely testing the waters by throwing a stone. Could he think two ingots of silver were too little?
Looking at the beautiful woman's matter-of-fact attitude, Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"What do you mean?"

Ximen Chuixue explained: "It means that no one in Jinzhou cares about silver now, they only want gold."

The beautiful woman glanced at Ximen Chuxue and shook her head.

"It seems that this young master has been here for a few days."

"It's a pity that you don't go out often, so you still made a mistake."

Ximen Chuixue: "What's the matter?"

The beautiful woman snickered and said, "We don't just want gold, we just don't want silver."

Ximen Chuixue frowned: "Isn't silver money?"

The beautiful woman covered her mouth and laughed: "Silver is of course money, but unfortunately, for some reason, silver has become less and less valuable these days."

"Everyone doesn't know when silver can no longer buy things, so they stop liking silver."

"But gold is okay, or."

Her eyes were fixed on the Shenlong silver note worth hundreds of taels in Hua Manlou's hand, and the beautiful woman nodded and smiled.

"Shenlong Silver Notes, of course, are even better."

Following the lady boss's gaze, Lu Xiaofeng also glanced at the silver note in Hua Manlou's hand and shrugged slightly. Shenlong silver notes have long been unimpeded in the south, but only partially circulated in the north, and in many cases are not as trustworthy as real gold and silver.

Jinzhou is far away in Liaodong, so Lu Xiaofeng directly used silver to pave the way.

Taking the banknote from Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng looked at the proprietress and asked with a smile.

"This Shenlong Silver Note can only be exchanged for silver according to the amount on it, and it can only be exchanged in a big city."

"As far as I know, the nearest Shenlong Bank is also a hundred miles away, in the Liaodong Guard Station."

"How come in the eyes of the lady boss, this silver note is more valuable than real gold and silver?"

Hearing Lu Xiaofeng's question, the beautiful woman looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a smile and answered softly.

"Sir, this news is also gossip."

Lu Xiaofeng lowered his head and smiled, then asked back with a smile: "One hundred taels for a piece of news, isn't that too much?"

The beautiful woman winked and smiled: "Ten taels for one question, more refund, less supplement, how about that?"

Lu Xiaofeng snapped his fingers and said, "It's a deal."

He handed the banknote to the beautiful woman, who stuffed it directly into her chest without any disgust, and then replied with a smile.

"The young master also said that the bank that can exchange Shenlong silver notes is in a guard post a hundred miles away."

"But Jinzhou City is full of wild mountains and wilderness. If an ordinary person like me dares to go out with a large amount of silver at this time, I'm afraid I'll be robbed immediately."

"On the contrary, no one can find this Shenlong silver note even if it is stuffed in any corner, so naturally I care more about it."

Lu Xiaofeng looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and then he asked the second question, which was shocking.

"If I want to meet Boss Qinglong, does the boss lady have any connections?"

When the beautiful woman heard this, her smiling eyes instantly calmed down.

But after calming down a little, she quickly realized that her sudden change in expression betrayed her.

Shaking her head slightly, the beautiful woman smiled helplessly.

"Lu Xiaofeng is indeed Lu Xiaofeng, but I still don't know where I have revealed my flaws."

Lu Xiaofeng looked puzzled: "What flaw?"

The beautiful woman looked at Lu Xiaofeng pretending to be stupid and asked back with a smile.

"It seems that Mr. Lu doesn't want to know the answer to the second question?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the threatening look in the beautiful woman's eyes, smiled, and asked a question.

"Miss, you should remember Lu's nickname?"

"Four eyebrows."

The beautiful woman was about to answer, but then she stopped talking because she already knew what the first flaw was.

Lu Xiaofeng straightened up and began to explain.

"As the innkeeper who welcomes and sees off guests, it is normal for me to take a few glances at the guests when they come in.

"But you shouldn't have looked twice at the part of my face where the beard should be, and you didn't pay any attention to Hua Manlou who had eye problems, and you even took the initiative to avoid looking at Hua Manlou."

“This shows one thing.”

The beautiful woman smiled and continued, "I already knew who you were when you walked in."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the beautiful woman's matter-of-fact response and continued to laugh while lying on the table.

"Hua Manlou and I are new here, and the proprietress is obviously a local."

"How could Lu Xiaofeng let go of such a well-informed and beautiful lady boss?"

Hearing this, the beautiful woman shook her head slightly and stopped scheming with Lu Xiaofeng. She just stood up and walked out of the counter, extending her hand to invite him.

"If the three gentlemen want to see Boss Qinglong, please follow me."
