Chapter 22 - 022 Child and Elder Won’t Deceive
As it turned out, maniacal marketing tactics work in every era. Lin Bai hired a few shills to sing a song outside the store: "You love me, I love you, the Chef’s Divine Food Stall welcomes you!" Then, invited in by the temporarily reassigned staff, they ate and drank heartily and emerged with expressions of contentment, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the onlookers. As the atmosphere grew more joyful and everyone happily watched the "You love me, I love you" performance, they even forgot that this place was originally the Dreadful Mansion. Finally, someone thick-skinned, unable to resist their curiosity, broke through their mental barrier and sang an incredibly embarrassing song in front of everyone. Feeling spiritually uplifted, they were then led into the restaurant by Dumbelldore.
「...」
"I thought the Shopkeeper was just hanging a sign outside to annoy people, but it’s even worse inside! Where did he dig up this crappy table?"
The ones who entered were two well-dressed young men in their early twenties. They had just finished singing and were led in by Dumbelldore. Once inside, they were stunned by the decor. The two of them found a table that looked slightly better and sat down. Before they could speak, Lin Bai was already standing beside them, smiling as he reminded them, "Gentlemen, please don’t fidget with your legs. The previous customer accidentally kicked away the bricks propping up the table. All his food and drink spilled, and he ended up leaving without eating a thing."
Damn it!
Both young men’s eyelids twitched simultaneously.
One young man surveyed the surroundings while the other picked up the teapot on the table to pour water for them. With a slip of his hand, the misaligned spout caused him to spill tea all over himself. He couldn’t help but curse, "Damn it!"
Lin Bai pretended not to notice and maintained his smile. "Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?"
The young man looking at the menu turned around. "What’s ’Deep-fried Flower Cattle’?"
"That’s deep-fried peanuts," Lin Bai said.
"Get us a plate." The young man’s mouth twitched.
