Chapter 90 Braised Lion Head

"Have you had lunch? The business set menu here is good." After saying his name, Lu Li smiled.

I looked at the hand I stretched out, took it back, and said with a smile, "No."

"How about the braised lion's head? It tastes good with coffee." Lu Li continued to ask.

"Okay." I subconsciously nodded.

Lu Li smiled, and said to the waiter who came to the table: "One serving of braised lion's head, and one cup of freshly ground coffee."

"Have you eaten?" I asked after the waiter left.

Lu Li pointed lightly at the table.

I looked down and saw a plate on his right hand, on which was a vegetable salad with a few egg whites.

The salad should have been eaten in half, but it still retained its original beauty. The missing half seemed to be cut in half by something.

Even on the plate, there was only a little salad dressing remnant, which showed that there should be a delicious salad on the other half.

I felt stunned for a while.

The business packages in the coffee shop are all ready-made, but within 2 minutes, the waiter brought over the steamed package with a glass of ice water, saying that the freshly ground coffee would be delayed.

I kept saying it didn't matter, and then sneaked a sneak peek at Lu Li out of the corner of my eye.

A pot of salad can be eaten so perfectly and beautifully...

If he wants to watch me eat, I...even if my stomach is growling with hunger, I'm embarrassed.

"Then I'll eat first, and we'll talk after we're done?" Lu Li brought the plate on his right in front of her, took a fork to fork a piece of egg white, and said without raising her head.

I hurriedly said hello, reached out and pushed the red lacquer lunch box with the set meal in front of me, picked up the chopsticks and ate it.

I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t eat too much meat when I was a child. Since my condition got better, I especially like to eat meat, but the braised lion head in Shencheng is not on this list.

After all, I lived in Xiangcheng when I was a boy who formed my life's taste, that city where there is no spicy food.

Shencheng's special braised lion head, the meat is enough, but it is sweet!
I bypassed the braised lion's head and picked side dishes and rice to eat. After taking a few bites, I suddenly felt something passing over my head.

Subconsciously raised his head, he saw Lu Li's head lowered, with a slight flick of hair, as if trembling.

I felt a bit of a hush in my heart.

I thought it would be bad if he saw it, and besides, even if it was sweet, it was still meat anyway!

I stretched my chopsticks towards the lion's head, and in front of the trembling hair, I clamped the lion's head with the courage to carry an explosive bag to top a bunker, and then threw it into my mouth without hesitation.

When biting the lion's head, my eyes closed instinctively, ready to welcome the sweet and greasy taste.

When the teeth are bitten down, the gravy splashes in the mouth, and the smell of meat and a spiciness also spread in the mouth.

Not at all sweet as expected.

My eyes widened unconsciously, and I quickly chewed a few times.

It's spicy!Fragrant and spicy!

The strong aroma of the gravy mixed with the spiciness of ginger, garlic and chili, the taste is simply wonderful!

I immediately smiled, and quickly took a bite of the rice into my mouth, letting the meat and rice mix together, bringing out a more wonderful taste.

Swallowing the rice slowly, I squinted my eyes slightly unconsciously, and let out a very pleasant hum.

After humming, I felt something was wrong, and I widened my eyes and looked at the opposite side.

Sure enough, Lu Li raised his head and looked at me with a smile on his face.

Seeing me staring at him, he lowered his head again, but the trembling of the hanging hair became more violent.

But it was obviously a gesture of holding back a smile and bowing his head, but when he did it, it was very elegant.

My face was a little red, and I simply smashed the jar, took another big bite of the lion's head, and then took a big bite of the rice, chewing and humming again.

"This is their specialty here. It's different from the usual lion head. Ginger, garlic and chili are added in, and the sugar is just for decoration." After I hummed three times, Lu Li raised her head and smiled.

The smile on the corners of his brows was still strong, but there was a soft gleam in his eyes.

No trace of disdain or contempt.

I was stunned for a moment, my face turned even redder, I responded in a low voice, lowered my head, slowed down the speed of eating, and started to eat bit by bit.

Lu Li let out a chuckle, then continued to eat his salad slowly with his head down.

There was silence between the two of us, only the occasional sound of chopsticks hitting the food box.

When I finished my meal, Lu Li just finished eating the last piece of lettuce.

The waiter brought over freshly ground coffee, and then took away the tableware for both of us.

I wiped my mouth with a tissue, then took out the books from my backpack and put them on the table, then pushed the books towards him.

The corners of Lu Li's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, then wiped his hands carefully, and then picked up the book on top.

My face turned red again, and I secretly pulled off the useless napkin that was placed aside, and wiped my hands vigorously under the table.

"This book of the Great Ming Dynasty, look at the arrangement of the fonts, and the seal, which is very obviously inherited from the architectural style of the Southern Song Dynasty." Lu Li didn't seem to notice my small movements at all, while slowly flipping through the book This book, carefully looking at the seal of the book and the markings on it, said slowly: "The Ming Dynasty set its capital in Nanjing at the beginning, and later the King of Yan Zhu Di won the throne, and then set the capital in BJ. After Yongle Years, the Ming Dynasty's Stereotyping gradually changed from Jianshi to Zheji, so this book should be a black edition of the early Ming Dynasty. Now some people specialize in collecting black editions of the early Ming Dynasty. If you have a set, you should be able to sell it for a very high price, um , It is estimated that a set of 400 million is no problem."

The napkin under my hand slipped down, and I hurriedly retrieved the napkin and said with a bit of stammer, "Then what if it's Sancai Tuhui from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty?"

Lu Li paused his hands slightly, raised his head with a slight frown, looked at me and said, "You mean the Sancai Tuhui set in the 37th year of Wanli? White cotton paper?"

I thought about it, shook my head and said, "It's not white cotton paper, it was marked by Li Mengyang's promotion."

This book was the first ancient book that I retrieved from the garbage dump back then, and it was also the first book that Gu Mingyuan taught me to identify engraved editions.

Later, the sons of the Gu family were mixed in the pile and dragged away.

If the rumors I heard are correct, they should have been packaged and sold collectively by the sons of the Gu family at a price of less than [-] a book.

"The book marked by Li Mengyang's promotion? It can be regarded as the only copy of a famous master. If it is calculated according to the market price, it should be more than 500 million."

At that time, I gasped when I heard Lu Li's words, and I only thought about how I pulled out those books back then, and how Gu Mingyuan cleaned them up page by page.

I didn't go to see Lu Li at all, so I didn't see the surprise and meaning flashing in his eyes.
