Chapter 1045 The Desire for Food
Chapter 1045 The Desire for Food
Lin Feng's boat was led to a small pier, where it was secured to wooden stakes with a cable. Two men quickly carried over a gangplank and placed it on the boat.
These two powerful figures were very attentive to Lin Feng because he was dressed as a pirate warrior.
Ye Haishan did not disembark. Instead, he went into the cabin in the middle of the wooden boat, where a shed had been erected, and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing that his master hadn't boarded the ship, Rong Rong could only squat in front of the pier, wave to Lin Feng, and signal that he should go by himself.
Lin Feng had no choice but to turn around and walk out of the dock.
Fu'an Prefecture City is the closest city to Luo City. In the past, it was considered a prosperous metropolis within the vast territory of Dazong.
Lin Feng wanted to go into the city to investigate because he was thinking that Wen Zhaorong wanted to bring people to Fu'an Prefecture to steal some grain. Although he had already discussed the feasibility with him, this operation would be very difficult for these ordinary soldiers.
Since that's the case, why not do something for them and create chaos in the city so that the soldiers of the Thirteenth Battalion have a chance to plunder the grain?
The two men who were setting up the springboard for him noticed that Lin Feng was dressed differently, so they bowed and led the way, asking him in a humble voice.
They were speaking the language of the pirates, which Lin Feng couldn't quite understand, so he pretended to be arrogant and ignored the two men.
It was only a little over three miles from the dock outside the city to the city gate, and Lin Feng quickly arrived at the gate.
There were soldiers guarding the city gate, and anyone entering the city had to pay five copper coins.
Lin Feng was just looking to cause trouble; he had no intention of paying any money.
Besides, he really didn't have any on him, not even a single copper coin.
He swaggered forward, followed by the two guys who had set up the springboard, never giving up on currying favor with Lin Feng.
Lin Feng planned that if anyone dared to come forward and collect his entrance fee, he would slap them across the face.
Anyone who dares to glare at him and draw their sword, that's exactly what I've been waiting for.
He held his head high, looking at no one, and strode forward into the city gate.
He was thinking to himself, "I won't say a word, I'll just swing my hand and hit him."
As I walked forward, lost in thought, I passed through the city gate and entered the city. I stared blankly at the crowds coming and going on the street.
He turned his head and glanced at the city gate behind him. He saw that none of the soldiers guarding the city looked at him. They were all busy checking the goods entering the city and counting the headcount and expenses.
Lin Feng shook his head, feeling listless. Not a single person came up to ask him anything. The more he showed off, the less people dared to approach him.
He turned around and strode into the street.
Within Fu'an City, there are both pirates and powerful clans. This is the border between the two, and many powerful clans come here to do business, all of whom have paid money and obtained permission from a pirate family.
Lin Feng saw a middle-aged pirate warrior standing on the side of the street, loudly cursing at several men in fluent Da Zong dialect.
He immediately grasped the meaning. At this border, both the Dazong people and the pirates were familiar with each other's languages and environments. It was quite normal for many intelligent people to be able to speak fluent Dazong or pirate languages.
Lin Feng turned around and waved to the two guys who were still following behind him.
"You, come here."
The two men had been following Lin Feng from the dock, thinking he was a big customer. But Lin Feng ignored them, and they were about to give up when they saw him waving. They were overjoyed.
The two guys scurried up to Lin Feng, bowing and smiling broadly.
Are there any upscale taverns around here?
Lin Feng asked before they could even ask.
The two were taken aback, not expecting that the other person could speak so fluently than they could.
"Oh, sir, you've come to the right person. Please follow me, sir. I guarantee it's the most upscale restaurant in all of Fu'an City."
The two stepped forward and extended their hands to lead the way.
After following the two men for two streets, Lin Feng finally saw a three-story restaurant at the intersection of a main road.
A plaque hangs in front of the restaurant, with three large characters written on it.
Anshun Building.
There were neatly dressed waiters at the entrance. When they saw Lin Feng and his group striding over, their destination being their restaurant, they immediately put on smiles and started shouting.
"Welcome, distinguished guests. Please come in."
Lin Feng ignored how many people he was calling and stepped directly into the restaurant entrance.
The two men followed Lin Feng into the restaurant.
The staff inside the building recognized Lin Feng's pirate warrior attire and knew he was no ordinary warrior, so they quickly led him upstairs.
Lin Feng followed the waiter to the third floor and sat down at a window seat.
Two men stood bowing on either side.
What are your names?
"My name is Huang San, and his name is Zhang Liu."
Lin Feng frowned: "What the hell do you call names?"
"You're right, sir. My family is poor, where would we get a good name? I just made one up on the spot, hoping it would make him easier to raise, hehe..."
Huang San was quick-witted and answered questions clearly and concisely.
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Tell them to bring out whatever good wine and food they have."
"Alright, sir, please hold it."
Huang San was overjoyed. Finally, he and his brother had encountered a big fish. Judging from its posture and demeanor, it must be someone of great wealth and status.
He urges the waiters to bring out the wine and dishes, and winks at Zhang Liu, indicating that his judgment is accurate and that it was right to listen to him and stick to it until now.
Zhang Liu was also convinced; Huang San was indeed more resourceful than him.
The waiters were also happy, as this was a big customer. They excitedly called out and ran downstairs. Immediately, some brought water and towels, while others brought tea. Two or three waiters came forward to serve them.
When it comes to dishes, the skills of the chefs are still the best.
The chefs at this restaurant are all highly skilled craftsmen, and of course, the waiters are also highly skilled, except for the manager.
On the entire third floor, there were two other tables of guests, each with a screen to shield them, giving them a relatively private space.
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Huang San and Zhang Liu, you can sit down too."
"Oh, sir, you've honored me with your presence. It's a great privilege for me to stand here and serve you. Please don't flatter me."
Huang San was so excited that snot bubbles were coming out of his nose.
Zhang Liu also bowed in thanks, and didn't forget to say something as well.
"Thank you for your generosity, sir. I would be eternally grateful if you could give me a few more coins..."
Huang San swallowed the rest of his words.
Lin Feng didn't mind, took the teacup, and took a sip.
Indeed, I haven't had any tea these days. Even plain water doesn't taste like proper water in this coastal area.
That one sip of tea almost made him faint; it was so fragrant.
"Hmm...good tea."
The waiter quickly bowed and said, "Sir, you have a good eye. This is our shop's prized tea. The manager specially asked me to serve this highest grade tea when he saw you arrive."
"Stop arguing and serve the food quickly."
Lin Feng adopted the domineering and arrogant demeanor of a pirate, shouting and scolding loudly.
The men around them didn't think much of it; they were used to the pirates' behavior and thought this was normal.
One by one, the waiters brought out the dishes, and someone specially heated up the wine and filled Lin Feng's wine glass.
The wine was pale yellow and steaming. Its aroma filled Lin Feng's nose, making him feel dizzy again.
