I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

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

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

Xingfu Commercial Center.

That's the name of this mall.

"On the fourth floor?" Ling Ping'an took out his 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 was crowded with people, it was very lively.

Ling Ping took the elevator and went straight to the fourth floor.

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

As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted with a strong exotic atmosphere.

In my ears, I heard the melodious sound of the piano.

"It looks pretty good!" Lingping thought.

"Sir..." A blond girl in a maid's dress walked up to Ling Ping'an and spoke in fluent Federal dialect with a little Jiang Cheng's accent: "Are you alone?"

Ling Ping nodded.

"This way, please!" This girl's federal etiquette is very professional, and it seems that she has been specially trained.

So, Ling Ping was led by her to a small table by the window in this restaurant.

Then, a thick menu was delivered to Lingping.

The little girl bowed gently and asked, "If you need anything, sir, you can ring the bell next to you, and we will come to serve you right away!"

"Yeah!" Ling Ping nodded and opened the menu.

Just looking at it, his face twitched a little.

A red wine and foie gras costs two hundred yuan.

Three hundred for a portion of pastrami.

Especially a vegetable salad costs 188!

The most expensive one, the Wellington steak, is actually priced at 3999!

Also need to book a day in advance!

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

Fortunately, he was ready before he came.

He was also prepared to pay the IQ tax - generally speaking, foreign restaurants are opened in the Commonwealth, and there are only two strategies to keep them alive.

The first is localization.

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

The restaurant's signature dishes are fried snails and pan-fried oysters.

The French classmate from Lingping, who once went to eat here, came back and told everyone that he was not French at all!

The snails should be baked in red wine, and the top-quality ginado oysters should be eaten raw!

However, this French restaurant, which is rated as not French at all by the French, is the foreign restaurant with the best business in Yangcheng.

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

The second is hunting.

Use the federal people's curiosity about foreign countries to make some gimmicks or something.

There are always people who are willing to pay the IQ tax.

People like Lingping are basically their target customers.

Therefore, despite the pain in the flesh, Ling Ping'an still ordered two dishes.

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

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

After about ten minutes, a sizzling steak that was grilled on an iron plate was brought to Lingping's face.

The blond girl introduced in standard Federal language: "Sir, this is one of our restaurant's signature dishes, Rhine steak, which is the 180-day grain-fed New Qinling beef eye meat from the Southern Zhou Kingdom of your country... …”

"After our unique maturation method of butter, in a constant temperature and humidity environment, it matures in forty-five days..."

"Matured butter?" Lingping felt that he had learned a new term.

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

The taste is ok!

He evaluates.

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

It's completely different from the slow-roasted beef 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: "Guest, butter aging is the latest beef processing method invented and created by our Rhine restaurant..."

"After soaking up the surface moisture, wrap top-quality beef in butter, and place it in a constant temperature and humidity environment for 30 to 50 days. The beef is dehydrated and oxidized on the outside, but an amazing transformation has taken place on the inside!"

"The beef processed in this way has a flavor and tenderness that is far superior to its counterparts!"

After listening to Ling Ping'an, he nodded and thought, "Go back and try it!"

"Look to see if this method actually improves the taste of beef!"

Come to think of it, just wrap the beef in butter, it shouldn't be too much trouble!

Lingping was about to ask, what should be paid attention to when the butter is matured.

Meow!

The cat Best, who had been lying beside him, suddenly barked and jumped from the sofa to the table.

The kitten leaned down low, with amber eyes that seemed to be full of vigilance.

It made a low growl towards somewhere in the dining room.

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

"Little darling..." Lingping took it down and said, "What's wrong?"

Meow!

The kitten stuck out its tongue and licked the back of its master's hand.

Ling Ping Ping knew that this was the behavior of this little guy every time he felt uneasy or threatened.

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

……………………………………

Wearing a princess dress and holding a small scepter.

For some reason, Latt walked in the restaurant.

Behind her, servants in holy clothes followed closely.

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at the corner of the restaurant.

A young Commonwealth, holding a small black cat, sat there, seemingly eating.

"The Duke..." asked an elderly retainer, "what's the matter?"

"It's nothing!" For some reason, Latt remembered that this is the homeland of the Orientals, so he turned around and said, "Let's go!"

The Duchess lifted her skirt, stepped on the crystal slippers, and walked forward.

There, someone was already waiting for her.

A dozen men and women in formal suits appeared in front of a private room.

"Welcome!" They all smiled when they saw Rath for some reason, and knelt down one by one: "Representatives of Butania's subjects studying, doing business, and living in the Federal Empire, welcome His Excellency the Duke!"

"God bless you! Dear Duchess!"

For some reason Larter looked at these people.

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

"My subjects, please!" The little duchess, although young, behaves like an adult: "On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, I would like to express all the contributions made by my subjects and the United Kingdom of Butania in the eastern world. ,Express thankfulness!"

In Qin Lu, even in the era of mobile Internet.

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 1300 spent!

The ordering cost 1098.

The remaining 102 is service charge and cutlery charge.

After the discount, but also 650 yuan!

Honestly, the taste is ok! Not bad! But the price is a bit low!

Compared with the fusang takeaway that Lingping eats every day, it is far worse!

A meal of fusang beef rice bowl is only 40 yuan, and recently, it has been crazy to send all kinds of fish paste, shrimp paste, sea urchin, and sushi.

As for Aunt Cai's steamed dumplings next door, it's only 20 yuan for two cages, plus 22 yuan for tofu brains!

But the taste of the three is similar.

so……

"It won't come next time!" Ling Ping said.

That's 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 to take the blame like today.

The end is - cheap is too bad to eat!

And in general, like today's, the price is too low!

That is, Qianye Jiang's takeaway and Aunt Cai's steamed dumplings 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 hugged the kitten Best in distress and walked out of the restaurant.

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

Ling Ping Ping walked out with a smile, but blood was dripping in her heart: "This time I spent more than half a month's living expenses..."

He lamented: "If I don't sell a few books, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it until the allowance arrives on the 10th of next month..."

However...

"I learned a new skill this time..." he said. "The butter matures..."

"It's not too bad!"

He could only comfort his wallet like this.

……………………………………

For some reason Larter stood in front of the blinds, watching the young Oriental, holding the kitten in his hand, and walking out of the mall.

At the tip of her cane, where the gems were set, the shadow of Arcador appeared.

"Cat Goddess Best..."

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

"but……"

"He appeared in the East, and was a pet beside an ordinary-looking Oriental..."

"This is so interesting!"

For some reason Larter listened and did not speak.

"Duchess!" A retainer in holy clothes stepped forward and asked, "Would you like to send someone to check on that young man?"

For some reason Larter did not speak.

But not speaking is an attitude in itself.

So, he bowed deeply, turned around and went to set up.

The United Kingdom of Butania is still one of the top ten countries in the world!

Although this is a far cry from the empire on which the sun never sets when it was at its peak two hundred years ago.

But still has enough influence and strength.

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

Therefore, when he wants to come, it should be effortless to check an ordinary looking Oriental.

but……

Half an hour later, he got the message.

The two Butanians he had entrusted to investigate have been arrested.

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

Who knows why checking an ordinary young man has turned into spying on the secrets of the federal empire and endangering national security? !
