That day, Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng had visited nearly all the gambling houses in the Capital city, listening as Xia Zheng occasionally ntioned who backed up this gambling house and then proceeded to gossip about who backed up another. Although Lin Yuan was not familiar with these nas, seeing Xia Zheng’s slyly grinning face, even soone as naive as her could guess the connection.
These people must all be related to Zhao Hongsheng.
It seed like Xia Zheng was planning to take the opportunity to empty out Zhao Hongsheng’s money pouch!
Proudly patting a thick stack of silver notes and land deeds against her chest, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh triumphantly, thinking that soone would definitely have trouble sleeping tonight. But the less sleep they got, the better, as it ant she would sleep even more soundly!
The contest between Dong Tian and Drunken Immortal Tower ca to an end, with Dong Tian’s business booming even more. Yet, the business at Drunken Immortal Tower was not showing signs of decline.
Rumor had it that Drunken Immortal Tower rolled out a few signature dishes that had never appeared before. It seed that Zhuang Kangping, concerned about his relationship with Drunken Immortal Tower, decided to share his treasured personal recipes he had kept for many years.
As for Dong Tian, they didn’t specifically introduce more new dishes, but the three dishes they served at the competition had already beco Dong Tian’s newest signature offerings.
So playful fellow even gave them a boldly assertive na, "The Champion Siblings." When Lin Yuan heard this na, she nearly toppled off her stool.
The Champion Siblings, could it be that they’ve turned the red wine braised beef into the elder brother, and the following two chicken dishes into sisters?
Such a rich imagination indeed!
Even though the na was aggressive, Lin Yuan had no intention of using it as the na for the signature dishes. If she did hang it up, wouldn’t this be severely slapping Drunken Immortal Tower in the face?
They were friends now, after all, and one cannot engage in such dishonorable actions.
However, what happened behind closed doors wasn’t sothing Lin Yuan could control.
Although the na wasn’t officially displayed, guests who ca to eat at Dong Tian uniformly referred to it by this na, and as ti went by, the entire Capital city knew that Dong Tian had the "The Champion Siblings."
With the competition concluded satisfactorily, Lin Yuan then devoted herself to the grand opening of Idle Tea House.
Upon her return to Idle Tea House, Lin Yuan was genuinely taken aback.
The first floor was properly decorated, and the previously plain white walls now had curtains installed. The curtains were divided into two layers; the first layer was red, embroidered with golden threads spelling out "Dream of the Red Chamber," and below it, a line in pink using fine embroidery.
"All the words on the paper are ludicrous, shed with bitter tears."
Xia Zheng softly recited the words. This was his first ti visiting Lin Yuan’s Idle Tea House, and he was thoroughly impressed as soon as he walked in.
Lin Yuan nodded, glanced at him with a smile, lifted her chin slightly and raised an eyebrow: "What do you think? My literary flair is quite sothing, isn’t it!"
Of course, these words weren’t written by Lin Yuan, but rather were from "Dream of the Red Chamber." However, others wouldn’t know the source of the phrase and would naturally find it stunning.
Xia Zheng nodded in agreent, his praise coming from the heart: "My dear, you indeed hide your light under a bushel. I’m incredibly fortunate in this life to have married a wife who is both brilliant and capable of earning money!"
Seeing Xia Zheng’s complacent deanor, Lin Yuan silently rolled her eyes. This guy truly overestimated himself, never missing a chance to complint himself.
Ignoring him, Lin Yuan continued to examine the platform.
The second layer of curtains were made of Light Gauze unique to the Chen family of Jiangnan, but they too were embroidered with various scenes.
Compared to the first curtain, this one was much more complex.
However, the embroidery was easily identifiable, with a monkey in the forefront wearing a golden band on its head and carrying a slim, lengthy staff on its shoulder. The golden staff was very conspicuous.
Behind was a white horse, which carried a Monk. The Monk looked clean and young, and upon closer examination, had quite a handso face.
Following the white horse was a Big Monk carrying luggage; this Big Monk wasn’t clean at all, had a big beard, and his clothes were in a complete ss.
At the end, a fat pig was anxiously chasing after them.
Fat pigs were common, but a fat pig that stood up, walked on two legs, and wore clothes was a rare sight indeed.
"This picture..."
Xia Zheng couldn’t help but curl his lips, finding it hard to put his thoughts into words. The embroidery craftsmanship was not bad, but the drawing was just too bizarre, with monkeys and pigs; was this so sort of animal farm?
