The ride-hailing car stopped in front of a mall in the city center.

Lingping hugged the kitten Best and got out of the car.

Xingfu Commercial Center.

This is the name of this mall.

"On the fourth floor?" Lingping took out his mobile phone and looked at it, then walked into the mall with his pet in his arms.

Today is a holiday, so there are quite a lot of people.

The whole mall is crowded with people coming and going, it's so lively.

Lingping took the elevator and went straight to the fourth floor.

When he got upstairs, he followed the instructions and found the Rhine restaurant at the end of this floor.

As soon as I entered the door, a strong exotic atmosphere came to my face.

I heard a melodious piano sound in my ears.

"It looks pretty good!" Lingping thought.

"Sir..." A blonde girl in a maid dress walked up to Ling Ping An, she spoke fluent federal language, and she also had a Jiang Cheng accent: "Are you alone?"

Lingping nodded.

"Please over here!" The girl's federal etiquette is very professional, and she must have been specially trained.

So, Lingping was led by her to a small table by the window of this restaurant.

Then, a thick menu was delivered to Ling'an.

The little girl bowed gently and asked: "If you have any needs, you can press the calling bell next to you, and we will come to serve you immediately!"

"Hmm!" Lingping nodded, and then opened the menu.

After just one glance, his face twitched a little.

A serving of red wine foie gras costs two hundred yuan.

A serving of smoked beef costs three hundred.

Especially a vegetable salad is 188!

One of the most expensive Wellington steaks, the price is 3999!

Need to book one day in advance!

"Snatching money!" Ling Ping'an complained in his heart.

Fortunately, he was ready before he came.

He is also ready to pay the IQ tax-generally speaking, foreign restaurants are opened in the federal territory, and there are only two strategies to keep them alive.

The first is localization.

Like Yangcheng, the capital of Guangnan, there is a French restaurant with a particularly good reputation.

The signature dishes of this restaurant are stir-fried snails and pan-fried oysters.

The classmate Frank, who is in peace, once went to eat it admiringly, and after eating it, he will tell everyone that he is not French at all!

The snails should be baked with red wine, and the top Ginadu oysters should be eaten raw!

However, this French restaurant, which is not considered French at all by the French, is the best foreign restaurant in Yangcheng.

The chef of the restaurant even got permanent residency in the Federal Empire!

The second is to be curious.

Take advantage of the federal people's curiosity to foreign nations and make some gimmicks.

Some people are always willing to pay IQ tax.

People like Lingping are basically their target customers.

Therefore, even though the meat hurts, Lingping still ordered two dishes.

One is 499 fried beef tongue, and the other is 599 Rhine steak.

Pressing the service bell, the waiter came quickly and took away the menu with a smile.

About ten minutes later, a smoky steak that was placed on an iron plate was brought to Ling Ping An.

The little blonde girl introduced in standard federal language: "Sir, this is one of our restaurant’s signature dishes, Rhine Steak, which is made of 180-day grain-fed new Qinling beef eye meat from the Kingdom of Southern Zhou... …"

"After our unique butter aging method, in a constant temperature and humidity environment, forty-five days to mature..."

"Butter matured?" Lingping felt that he had learned a new term.

"How is this done?" He asked, then unskilledly picked up the knife and fork, cut the steak in front of him, put it in his mouth and tasted a piece.

The taste is okay!

He commented.

The tenderness is ok, and the flavor is good, but the juice is too little and the beef flavor is not so strong.

It's a far cry from the slow roast beef that I made two days ago.

but……

The tenderness and flavor are really good!

Better than most beef!

The little girl listened and explained with a smile: "Guests, butter maturation is a beef processing method newly invented and created by our Rhine restaurant..."

"After absorbing the surface moisture of the top-quality beef, it was wrapped in butter and placed in a constant temperature and humidity environment for 30 to 50 days. The beef was dehydrated and oxidized on the outside, but an amazing transformation occurred inside!"

"The processed beef has a far superior flavor and tenderness!"

After listening, Lingping nodded and thought: "Go back and I will try it!"

"See if this method can really improve the taste of beef!"

Think about it, just wrap the beef with butter, it shouldn't be too troublesome!

Lingping was about to ask, what needs to be noticed when the butter is matured.

Meow!

The kitten Best, who had been lying next to him, suddenly screamed and jumped from the sofa to the table.

The kitten leaned low, his amber eyes seemed to be full of alert.

It made a low growl at some place in the restaurant.

It seems to be a warning, and it seems to be a threat.

"Little girl..." Lingping hugged it down: "What's the matter?"

Meow!

The kitten stuck out his tongue and licked the back of his owner's hand.

Lingping knows that this is how this little guy feels every time he feels uneasy or threatened.

"Be good... don't be afraid!" He smiled and soothed: "With a brother, no one can hurt you!"

……………………………………

Wearing a princess dress, holding a small scepter.

For some reason Rat, walked in the restaurant.

Behind her, the servant in the holy suit followed closely.

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at a corner of the dining room.

A young federal man, holding a small black cat, was sitting there, seeming to be dining.

"The Duke..." an elderly retainer asked: "What's the matter?"

"Nothing!" For some reason, Rat, remembering that this place is in the homeland of an Oriental, turned around: "Let's go!"

The duke lifted her skirt, stepped on the crystal shoes, and walked forward.

There, someone was already waiting for her.

More than a dozen men and women in formal attire appeared in front of a private room.

"Welcome!" When they saw Rath for some reason, they all smiled and knelt down one by one: "The representatives of the subjects of Butania studying, doing business and settling in the Federal Empire, welcome your visit!"

"May God bless you! Dear Duchess!"

For some reason Rat looked at these people.

She lifted her skirt slightly, holding the scepter, and stepped forward.

"Subjects, please!" The little duchess, although she is young, she looks like an adult: "On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, I would like to make all contributions to your subjects and the United Kingdom of Butania in the Eastern World. ,Express thankfulness!"

In Qin Lu, even if it has reached the mobile Internet era.

But the nobility is still the supreme ruler.

Especially the United Kingdom of Butania.

………………………………………………

After eating, Lingping wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Then call the waiter to check out.

A total of 1,300 spent!

Among them, ordering took 1098.

The remaining 102 is service fee and tableware fee.

Honestly, the taste is okay! Not bad! But the price is low!

Compared to the Fusang takeaway that Lingping has eaten every day, it's far worse!

A meal of hibiscus beef rice bowl costs only forty yuan. Recently, it has been crazy to send a variety of fish, shrimp, sea urchin, and sushi.

As for the steamed dumplings of Aunt Cai next door, the two cages cost only 20 yuan, plus 22 yuan for tofu nao!

But the taste of the three is similar.

and so……

"I won't come next time!" Lingping said.

This is why he only eats in two fixed places-he has tried almost all the well-known and unknown restaurants in the city.

I don’t know how many times I have been taking advantage of me like this.

The end is-cheap is too ugly!

In general, like this one today, the price/performance ratio is too low!

That is, Qianye Jiang’s takeaway and the steamed dumplings of Aunt Cai next door are both cheap and delicious.

This is the price that must be paid for having a sensitive tongue.

"Go home! Go home!" Lingping's hugged kitten Best, and walked out of the restaurant.

"Thank you for your patronage!" At the door, the two blond young ladies bowed together: "Welcome to come again next time!"

Lingping smiled and walked out, but blood was dripping in his heart: "I spent half a month of living expenses next time..."

He lamented: "If I don't sell a few books, I'm afraid it will be hard for me to get the allowance until the 10th of next month..."

But...

"I learned a new skill this time..." He said, "Butter is ripened..."

"Not too bad!"

He can only comfort his wallet like this.

……………………………………

For some reason, Rat was standing in front of the blinds, looking at the young Oriental, holding the kitten in his hand, and walked out of the mall.

At the top of her cane, where the gems were inlaid, the shadow of Arcado appeared from it.

"Cat Goddess Best..."

"Everyone thought that he should have fallen into the hands of the Brotherhood!"

"but……"

"He appeared in the East, and he was still a pet next to an ordinary oriental man..."

"This is so interesting!"

For some reason Rat listened, but did not speak.

"The Duchess!" A retainer in a holy suit stepped forward and asked, "Should I send someone to look up that young man?"

For some reason Rat did not speak.

But not speaking is an attitude in itself.

So he bowed deeply, turned around and set out.

The United Kingdom of Butania is still among the top ten countries in the world so far!

This is a far cry from the empire that suppressed the world at the peak of ~www.ltnovel.com~ two hundred years ago.

But it still has enough influence and strength.

Even in this eastern land, it has a certain influence.

Therefore, before he thought about it, it should be effortless to find an ordinary-looking Oriental.

but……

Half an hour later, he got the news.

The two Butanians entrusted by him to investigate have been arrested.

The charge is-conspiracy to spy on federal empire secrets and endanger national security!

The ghost knows why investigating an ordinary young man turns into spying on federal empire secrets and endangering national security? !
