Chapter 549: The Cold and Elegant Girl
This small town was in a remote area, barely known to anyone unfamiliar with the region. Its name was so obscure that it was hard to locate even on a map. Yet, strangely enough, the inn was packed with people today, which seemed rather unusual for a place like this.
As someone entered, the patrons inside turned their heads toward him.
Song Qingshu, being skilled and confident, sensed the strange atmosphere but remained unfazed. Calmly, he addressed the waiter approaching him. “Find me a quiet spot.”
“Oh my, sir, you’ve come at just the right time! There’s exactly one spot left—this way, please!” The waiter was overjoyed. Business had never been this good, and he had no idea why the usually empty inn was suddenly so crowded. If it weren’t for a guest who had just paid and left, there wouldn’t have been a single table available.
“Waiter, bring me a pound of beef, a roast chicken, two vegetable dishes, and a jar of fine wine,” Song Qingshu ordered with ease after sitting down. Having seen heroes in martial arts dramas order this way in his previous life, he followed suit. Although his appetite wasn’t large enough to devour ten pounds of beef like those characters, he compromised with one pound instead.
When he first arrived in this world, he had hesitated to order beef, recalling from various travel guides that slaughtering cattle without permission was a serious crime in ancient times. Naturally, inns wouldn’t offer beef. He was worried he might embarrass himself by asking.
However, it turned out that in this world, possibly due to the influence of nomadic nations in the north, beef was common and readily available in inns.
“Got it! One pound of beef, a roast chicken, two vegetable dishes, and a jar of wine for our guest here!” The waiter, delighted by the generous tip, sang out the order cheerfully.
The lively voice of the waiter caught the attention of the other patrons, who glanced at Song Qingshu. Noticing his fine clothes, lavish order, and generosity, several rogue-like individuals started considering whether they should rob this easy target somewhere quiet.
