The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 672 - 669: Neglect
The dismissive attendant casually pointed to a seat without showing the way, then turned to serve a table of customers who ordered over a dozen Spiritual Delicacies.
Emperor Longteng glimpsed at the seat and slightly frowned.
Recently, Master Ji from Taoyao Pavilion has been healing from an injury, unable to prepare Spiritual Food.
Those with picky tastes have thus turned to De Yue Building.
Even though they have coffin planks for tables, it seems like De Yue Building’s business looks even more bustling than usual.
"It’s been a few years, and De Yue Building seems to have lost all sense of decorum," he commented.
Monk Fengxi, however, paid no attention to the seating; he raised his head and eyed the Phoebe Wood Sign.
This sign...Monk Fengxi’s brows furrowed ever so slightly.
When he entered earlier, he felt a certain presence.
But by the time he was ready to look for it, the presence had disappeared. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Now thinking about it, it was because of this sign.
"Without rules, there is no square or circle," he muttered, shaking his head.
Who would have thought that someone would use a coffin board as a sign.
The two had just seated themselves when Emperor Longteng felt his seat wobble and realized one leg of his stool was half its length.
Emperor Longteng’s eyebrows knitted even tighter.
"Attendant, bring a basket of cabbage buns, a pot of clean water, and a plate of plain oil tofu."
Emperor Longteng, accompanied by Monk Fengxi, had to abstain from meat and greasy food, so he followed Monk Fengxi’s lead and ordered some simple pastries and vegetarian dishes.
Though these dishes seemed ordinary, in fact, they are not so simple.
Everyone knows that the simplest dishes are often the hardest to prepare.
The attendant rolled his eyes upon hearing the order.
The poor always stay poor, and they come to De Yue Building to eat such things?
"Sir, at this time, who would eat buns? If you want to eat buns, come early to queue up, ten taels will cover your fill."
Emperor Longteng’s face darkened upon hearing this.
"What do you mean by that? I am... a customer, and your sign also lists cabbage buns, so how do you not have them?"
"Hey, are you trying to cause trouble? This is De Yue Building, you come to eat a few buns, some tofu, and drink clean water without ordering any Spiritual Delicacy, I think you’re the one causing trouble," sneered the attendant.
"You! Call your shopkeeper over... no, call for Master Chen."
Emperor Longteng was so angry his chest was heaving.
"My lord, please don’t be angry,"
Monk Fengxi spoke in a soothing tone.
His voice seemed to have a calming magic, and Emperor Longteng’s expression softened considerably.
"If there’s no cabbage buns, then bring a few pieces of mung bean cake, and also two bowls of Ice Pond Lotus jelly," Monk Fengxi asked again.
That Ice Pond Lotus jelly referred to lotus root starch jelly.
De Yue Building’s Ice Pond Lotus jelly is quite delicious and a specialty here, as it uses a medicinal ingredient called Ice Pond Lotus, making it a One-Star Spiritual Delicacy.
The attendant’s face softened a bit upon hearing this and he went to the kitchen to place the order.
That morning, Monk Fengxi had a bowl of lotus root starch jelly made by Xin Lin and found it very tasty.
But with only two bowls of the jelly, and Monk Fengxi having one, it would be impolite to ask for a second bowl.
Having this jelly in the evening was somewhat of a consolation for the monk.
So it seems that Emperor Longteng and Monk Fengxi are acquainted.
From the looks of it, Emperor Longteng has quite a respect for Monk Fengxi.
Quite an impressive little monk.
Xin Lin watched from the side, somewhat puzzled.
A mere Taichang Temple’s sweeping monk, one who struggles even for meals, how could he be acquainted with Emperor Longteng?
She was solely focused on Emperor Longteng and Monk Fengxi, unaware that Gui Hu behind her, seeing the two bowls of lotus starch jelly and the mung bean cakes being served, smirked slightly.
