Chapter 19: These Shills Are Way Too Unprofessional
"Shopkeeper, I'm disturbing you again."
"Please, one marinated egg, egg fried rice, and a glass of plain boiled water set!"
As Yue Buqun finished speaking, he skillfully took out a gold leaf and then found a place to sit down.
For a moment, Yang Xue and Jiang He, who were standing to the side, suddenly had ugly expressions on their faces.
A shill, this must be a shill!
Looking at this man's age, yet he still plays at being old-fashioned; he is likely a lecherous old man.
He is definitely a shill brought in by this shop owner!
In Yang Xue's mind, she instantly labeled Yue Buqun as a shill!
A flash of wisdom crossed Yang Xue's eyes.
With such a small trick, he wants to deceive her?
Coming out to act as a shill, he is not professional at all.
In this day and age, although gold is in circulation, who would take out that kind of gold leaf to use?
This is an obvious flaw!
Yang Xue had already made up her mind that this Yue Buqun was definitely a shill intentionally luring them to spend money.
And just as Yang Xue thought this, Jiang He, who was to the side, was examining Yue Buqun with great interest.
He had noticed it from the moment Yue Buqun walked in earlier.
Although Yue Buqun was of an advanced age, his footsteps were light, and his breathing was steady; compared to ordinary people, his breathing was clearly much slower.
This is clearly not an ordinary person!
With this suspicion in his heart, Jiang He did not speak it out loud.
If this person could stall Yang Xue and let him slack off a bit more, it would be worth it.
"You've come again, here, yours!"
Seeing the familiar big fat sheep arrive again, Su Mu quickly brought over the egg fried rice, marinated egg, and plain boiled water.
For a big fat sheep like Yue Buqun, Su Mu would never go soft when fleecing him.
After all, his culinary skills were trained by the system.
It is definitely at the level of a legendary God of Cooking.
If it weren't for the fact that the system provides too few dishes right now, he would definitely tearfully recommend a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast and fleece them all at once!
Ahem, no, that is, to make people be conquered by his culinary skills!
After putting down what Yue Buqun wanted, Su Mu glanced at Yang Xue and her companion and ignored them.
These two probably didn't look like people who could afford to eat here.
They had been dawdling here for a long time and hadn't ordered anything!
Su Mu didn't want to waste a great opportunity, so he simply ignored them.
And Yang Xue, seeing Su Mu's appearance of ignoring her, actually laughed out loud.
Playing hard to get, it is definitely playing hard to get!
First find a shill, then intentionally ignore her.
This way, she will definitely be curious and thus fall for it and order a portion!
How could such a small trick deceive her!
Hmph, she, Yang Xue, will definitely not be fooled.
And just as Yang Xue was thinking this, at the shop entrance, Zhang Sanfeng and Song Yuanqiao also walked in.
"Shopkeeper, disturbing you again, the same as yesterday!"
Zhang Sanfeng glanced at Yang Xue and the others, nodded, and then sat down.
Song Yuanqiao came before Su Mu and handed over the meal money.
"By the way, Shopkeeper, please pack one marinated egg to go this time!"
Su Mu, who had already stood up, was slightly stunned upon hearing Song Yuanqiao's request.
Pack one marinated egg to go?
Do rich people these days play so strangely?
However, Su Mu naturally complied with the customer's request.
He nodded at Song Yuanqiao and headed toward the back kitchen.
Meanwhile, Yang Xue, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Where did this shopkeeper hire these shills from!
This is too unprofessional!
Could it be that they are acting as shills for the first time and don't even know their lines?
They actually want to pack one marinated egg to go?
Why don't you pack a glass of plain boiled water to take back with you?
This is simply hilarious.
However, just as Yang Xue was thinking this, at the doorway, Xuan Ci and Xuan Ji walked in, sporting their big bald heads.
Only, as the two walked in at this moment, their expressions appeared somewhat troubled.
"Shopkeeper, please, two portions of egg fried rice, two marinated eggs, two glasses of plain boiled water, and one glass of plain boiled water to go!"
Abbot Xuan Ci put his hands together and said to Su Mu in the back kitchen.
This time, he and Xuan Ji had come, but they could not eat it all.
Back at the Shaolin Temple, people like Xuan Nan were still waiting for them to return and prove the existence of the Immortal Realm.
He and Xuan Ji had pondered for a long time, but in the end, they were still reluctant to part with the marinated eggs and egg fried rice.
Helpless, they could only pack a glass of plain boiled water to take back for their fellow disciples to taste.
After Xuan Ci finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Yang Xue behind him staring at him with wide eyes.
Abbot Xuan Ci could not help but be puzzled; he was a man of the cloth, why was she staring at this old monk like that?
This old monk must state in advance that he is not interested in women!
Glancing at Yang Xue, Abbot Xuan Ci ignored her and sat down with Xuan Ji.
Looking at Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, and the others on the other side, Xuan Ci greeted them with a smile.
They were all regulars at the shopkeeper's place, so they naturally had to maintain good relations among themselves.
For a moment, in the entire gourmet shop, only Yang Xue was left standing there, looking dumbfounded.
What did she just say?
Was it packing plain boiled water to go?
This is simply outrageous!
Is the cost of being a shill this low these days?
Can anyone be one?
Even two monks have run here to commit fraud.
Arrogant, too arrogant!
Yang Xue felt she couldn't take it anymore; she would go back in a while to find people to come and seal this black shop.
Meanwhile, Jiang He, who was to the side, was paying attention to the arriving Zhang Sanfeng, Xuan Ci, and Xuan Ji.
The few who came later, whether it was their footsteps or their breathing, were barely audible!
This discovery made Jiang He secretly shocked.
At least with his current strength, he couldn't achieve this step!
Could there really be something peculiar about this place?
Involuntarily, such a thought emerged in Jiang He's mind.
Watching Yue Buqun and the others silently from the side, he saw that Yue Buqun, who had arrived first, had already started.
First, he slowly swallowed the marinated egg, then he ate the egg fried rice as if immersed in it, and finally, he drank the plain boiled water with an expression of enjoyment.
Every action was natural and incomparable, not looking like a pretense at all!
It was as if those three ordinary-to-the-extreme delicacies were some kind of supreme delicacy in the world!
Such a scene made Jiang He even more curious.
And Yang Xue, who was to the side, could no longer endure it.
These few shills who arrived had no shame at all.
Eating an ordinary marinated egg and egg fried rice was enough to be soul-stirring.
At the very end, drinking a glass of plain boiled water, they still had an expression of enjoyment and relief.
With acting skills like yours, it would be a pity not to win an Oscar.
However, the more Yue Buqun and the others acted like this, the more Yang Xue wanted to close this black shop.
Yue Buqun, who had started first, slowly put down the plain boiled water, looked at the empty cup, and licked his lips, still wanting more.
Just as he was preparing to get up and leave, he saw Yang Xue and her companion to the side.
These two had been sitting here from the beginning without ordering any food; could it be that they couldn't afford it?
As this thought emerged in his mind, the next moment, Yue Buqun's eyes lit up.
The opportunity has come!
