Chapter 35: He is qualified to become a legendary epic.
“Mr. Bai, you’re back!”
Not long after the server left, a person approached.
Not here to serve food, but the restaurant manager, Manager Li.
Despite using up the savings, the old man’s face never lost his smile in the past half-month. The hundred gold flowers were indeed worth it!
With this progress, he could earn back all the hundred gold within a year.
This young man is truly talented.
A great talent from ancient times, they naturally got along well.
“Hey, Shopkeeper Li, business is thriving!” Bai Yu gestured for him to sit down, saying with a smile.
Thanks to Shopkeeper Li’s skills, the operation is smooth.
“Ha-ha, it’s your excellent management, Shopkeeper Li!”
They exchanged compliments, making the conversation enjoyable.
“How about… not seeing Miss Long?”
Bai Yu returned early on the day of the imperial examination, causing quite a stir.
However, the highlight was…
He brought a stunning beauty that captivated everyone. When she passed by, diners were left speechless, forgetting to eat.
Rumours say Huayue Tower in the capital had a courtesan who attracted nobles to spend fortunes just to see her perform. Her graceful dance and stunning beauty make her the capital’s top beauty. Shopkeeper Li hadn’t seen her, but he couldn’t imagine anyone more beautiful than Miss Long.
Although Shopkeeper Li wasn’t well-read or talented, he knew beauty, and Miss Long surpassed it all.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman are standing together, a perfect match. Perhaps only such an alluring beauty could match Mr. Bai’s extraordinary talent.
Maybe the girl is shy. She rarely appears, only seen that one time. Sometimes, Shopkeeper Li thinks having such beauty in his tavern more often could elevate his business.
“My wife is shy, not willing to meet strangers. I hope Shopkeeper Li understands.”
Bai Yu didn’t know what the old man was thinking, just lightly smiling. The little snake in his arms trembled, and its heartbeat quickened unconsciously.
“Haha! Miss Long, like a fairy, avoiding us common folks is normal! Haha~”
“I hope Mr. Bai and Miss Long can be friends forever!”
“Haha~. I trust you, Mr. Bai!”
“With your talent, you’ll excel in the exams!”
“Perhaps by then, I won’t have the privilege to sit with you~.”
Shopkeeper Li joked, handing Bai Yu a wooden token.
“Our tavern doesn’t have much to offer, Mr. Bai, but you’re remarkable… I’ll always remember you. This is the highest membership symbol, as you mentioned. I’m giving it to you.”
“I don’t expect you to take care of me when you’re successful. I hope you can visit, have a drink and a meal. How about it?”
Bai Yu took the wooden token, smiling, “Shopkeeper Li, I won’t go to wealthy places. If you want me to visit, make your tavern the best in the city…”
“Haha!”
Shopkeeper Li laughed, “Deal!”
Bai Yu raised his teacup, “We are friends!”
“Friends…”
It’s strange. Society has its classes. If Bai Yu becomes an official, the gap with a small businessman like him will widen. The word “friend” is rare in such situations.
Shopkeeper Li hesitated, then raised his teacup, “Okay!”
He shook his cup towards Bai Yu, “Mr. Bai, let’s toast with tea!”
He would silently watch this young man step by step towards the sky. If possible, he’d turn his story into a book, a legend, narrated daily in the tavern. Only the experiences of legendary figures qualify to become epic stories! Shopkeeper Li believed deeply that Bai Yu had that qualification!
