If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

Beijing Wharf.

Several months later, Zhou Wu personally led the Bull Demon King to deliver wine to the capital. At this time, besides Zhou Wu's ship, there were many other Bull Demon Kings at the dock, so it did not cause a sensation.

"I never imagined that in just a few months, the Bull Demon King would be everywhere."

Zhou Wu's trip to the capital was actually just because he had nothing else to do. He took the opportunity to experience the prosperity of the capital once again and also to see if he could have a chance to pay his respects to the Crown Prince, since the Crown Prince had spoken highly of him.

This time, Zhou Wu was familiar with the route and hailed a carriage himself.

"Where did the guests go?"

"Go to the Prince's Mansion."

Upon hearing the name of the Crown Prince's residence, the coachman sized Zhou Wu up and down for a long time.

"I said, are you going to pull or not?"

Zhou Wu was getting impatient; he had paid for the taxi himself, and it was still so troublesome.

"Pull, pull~~~"

The driver thought for a moment, then decided to keep pulling the cart since the economy was bad lately.

Sitting in the carriage, the bustling city of the capital flashed past the windows on both sides. Since the Great Dragon paid the indemnity, the lives of ordinary people had been greatly affected. On his way to the capital by boat, Zhou Wu saw many people who were poorly clothed and starving. However, the capital under the emperor's nose was not affected at all.

Zhou Wu, who was deep in thought, suddenly heard a familiar voice on the street.

"Doggy, Doggy. Driver, stop for a moment."

"Master Zhou."

Gouwa recognized Zhou Wu at a glance, which was an essential skill for him to get by on the streets of the capital. However, when they met again, Zhou Wu's already thin body looked even more frail.

"have you eaten?"

"Hehe, no, we haven't opened for business for several days."

Gouwa looked at Zhou Wu somewhat embarrassedly. Even in the seemingly prosperous capital, life was not easy for the lower classes.

"I'll invite you up."

"Eh."

The second time they met, Gouwa was no longer as reserved as the first time, perhaps because he was really hungry.

"Guest, are you still going to the Crown Prince's residence?"

"Let's not go there, let's go to the best restaurant nearby."

When Gouwa heard that Zhou Wu was even skipping the Crown Prince's residence to invite him to dinner, he was deeply moved and also curious and surprised that Zhou Wu knew the Crown Prince.

"Master has arrived, Lai Fu Lou."

The carriage stopped in front of a bustling restaurant. When Gouwa got out of the carriage, he tugged hard at Zhou Wu.

"What's wrong."

"It's too expensive, let's go somewhere else."

Lai Fu Lou is one of the top restaurants in the capital, and its customers are either sons of officials or second-generation rich kids.

"Haha, how expensive can a meal be?"

Zhou Wu was not short of money at all, so he went straight inside.

"Please come in, sir. Hey, you little beggar, get out of here."

The waiter at the door ushered Zhou Wu inside while simultaneously dealing with Gouwa behind him. No wonder, Gouwa's attire made him look no different from a beggar.

"This is my friend."

Zhou Wu's words were enough to stop the waiter from obstructing them.

"I'm so sorry, sir."

Do you have any private rooms?

"I'm so sorry, sir, all the private rooms are full for today."

Zhou Wu's clothes weren't made of fine silk or satin, but they looked better than the average person's. So the waiter didn't dare to take the two of them to a private room. He knew that Lai Fu Lou's private rooms had a minimum charge, and he didn't want the two of them to dine and dash.

Since there were no private rooms available, Zhou Wu found a table in the corner and sat down, mainly because he was considering Gouwa's outfit, which did look a bit out of place in this restaurant.

Zhou Wu didn't know what Wen Gouwa wanted to eat, so he just ordered a few dishes, because he knew it would be pointless to ask.

After hearing Zhou Wu's order, the waiter felt relieved. It was just a few normal dishes, so it didn't seem like he was trying to dine and dash.

However, Gouwa's appearance still attracted the attention of the surrounding diners, who all stared at the pair.

"Don't worry about it, we're just paying for our meal, let's not care what other people think."

Hearing Zhou Wu's words of comfort, Gouwa felt a little warm inside. If it weren't for his unbearable hunger, he probably wouldn't have been able to stay any longer. Getting a full stomach was the most important thing.

"The dishes are all served, please enjoy your meal."

"Doggy, eat up."

The two were eating when suddenly a burst of laughter came from the doorway.

"When did Laifulou start selling stinky tofu? You really do smell rotten."

A fat man carrying a birdcage walked toward the hall with a pigeon-toed gait, found an empty table, and plopped down on it.

"Excuse me, sir, what would you like to eat today?"

The waiter looked apologetic; there were customers on both sides, so he couldn't say anything.

"Eat, eat, eat! It smells so bad, how can I eat this? You guys at Lai Fu Lou are really entertaining all sorts of shady characters these days."

"Please calm down, sir."

It must be said that the waiter at Lai Fu Lou was quite polite; he didn't chase Gouwa away because of the fat man's shouting. However, it was precisely this attitude that made the fat man even more boisterous.

"Go, chase those two beggars away. With them here, I can't eat."

"If you can't eat, then get out."

Zhou Wu could no longer hold back. He knew that people shouldn't push their luck. Gouwa wasn't exactly clean, and it was understandable that people looked at him strangely and said a few things. But this fat man had clearly gone too far and angered Zhou Wu.

"Hey, you stinking beggar, how dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?"

"Sorry, I don't care which pigsty you came from."

"Fuck your mother, my father..."

"Crack~~~"

The loud slap echoed throughout Lai Fu Lou, and many diners on the second floor also ran down to the first floor to see what was going on.

The restaurant owner had to quickly pull the waiter aside.

"Go tell the owner that the second young master of the Zhao family was beaten up in our restaurant."

"Yes."

The waiter naturally recognized the fat man who frequented the shop. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he dashed out to inform his boss.

"You dare hit me??"

The fat man was stunned. He never expected that anyone would dare to hit him in the capital.

"My father~~"

"Crack~~"

Another resounding slap landed, leaving not only the fat man stunned, but also the other diners present. Was it really that brutal?

"Do you even know anything about my father?!"

"Crack~~~"

The fat man became completely obedient, covering his face, which was swollen like a pig's head, with his hands, and dared not say another word.

"By the way, it would be so much better to be quiet. Why do you have to make such a racket? Everyone is eating. Don't you know the saying 'Don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping'?"

As soon as Zhou Wu finished speaking, he realized that there didn't seem to be a "Xiangdang" chapter of the Analects in this world, but that wasn't important.

"Can we eat in peace now?"

The fat man still didn't dare to say anything, but just nodded aggrievedly.

"Hehe, everyone, please continue eating. It was just a little incident. I hope it didn't spoil your mood."

Zhou Wu acted like the host, actually greeting the diners. Seeing that there was no more excitement, the diners gradually dispersed and returned to their seats to continue eating and drinking.
