Chapter 359 Women Eat, Men Pay

"twelve?"

"Hmm. Yilan?"

"Ah."

The two looked at each other, smiling like idiots...

However, they dared to do this only when there were two people, otherwise Zhang Twelve would not have the guts. Although it was just a title, at least it brought the distance between the two closer...

The carriage quickly arrived at the center of Jingzhou City. Zhang Twelve helped Princess Yilan get out of the carriage, and the carriage went back the same way.

Because the Spring Festival is approaching, people are coming and going on the street, hawkers selling things are hawking along the street, and pedestrians on the street stop to look, how lively it is!

When Princess Yilan arrived on the street, she ran happily like a bird just released from a cage, looking here and there, with the curiosity of a little girl.

Zhang Twelve looked at Princess Yilan's innocent appearance that day, and his mood improved. At the same time, he felt that she was a little pitiful: after staying in the palace for so many years, he saw the same things every day, just like being kept in captivity. Like the beast, what's the difference?

The two of them walked forward. Princess Yilan held candied haws in her hand and stuffed her mouth with other things. Don't mention how happy she was. If they were in the palace, someone would check every time they ate. How could she do whatever she wanted?

At this moment, a door seemed to be opened in her world, and Zhang Twelve, the one who opened the door for her, was also grateful to him in his heart.

After all, the princess is a princess. When she was in the palace, she was playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, or walking around in the harem. How many roads did she walk?So after a short walk, she felt her legs hurt and her feet were numb...

But even so, she still has no intention of stopping. It can be seen that no matter when and where, for a woman, shopping is self-taught...

She is not too tired, but Zhang Twelve is tired of shopping, which big man is willing to go shopping like this?

Therefore, Zhang Twelve suggested: "Yilan... I think you are tired too, why don't we find a place to eat first! What do you think about going shopping after eating?"

Although we have discussed it, it is still a bit awkward to call out the phrase "Yi Lan". I just hope that Emperor Tang doesn't know, otherwise he will definitely shout "You are guilty" again...

She was already a little tired, but when she heard that she was going to eat, Princess Yilan hurriedly nodded her head in agreement, then asked after a second thought: "Where shall we eat? That restaurant of yours?"

Although Princess Yilan was not going out of the palace, she was very clear about what Zhang Twelve was doing in the city. Princess Yilan was also very excited at the thought of going there.

"Why not?"

To be honest, when it comes to eating, "Twelve Restaurant" is the most suitable, not only because the food tastes good there, but also because there are many boxes on the third floor, sitting in the boxes is much safer than sitting in the lobby!

Ever since, the two walked towards the restaurant.

…………

It was almost noon, and it was the best time for restaurant business. The lobby of the restaurant was full of people, and the waiters were also very busy. Before entering the door, they could hear the yelling inside.

"It seems that this restaurant is well managed by you!"

Princess Yilan looked up at the plaque with "Twelve" written on the door of the restaurant, and said sincerely.

"so far so good……"

Old Zhang Twelve blushed.

He has never been involved in this restaurant before, it is thanks to Qin Yutong that it is so popular today, so how can he not blush?

"Is Miss Qin here?"

Hearing this, Zhou Quan, who was settling accounts, raised his head. When he saw Zhang Twelve walking in with a pretty woman in plain clothes, he was still a little dazed...

Didn't you two go out together in the morning?Why did you come back alone—and with a girl?

"Mr. Zhang, Miss Qin hasn't come back since she went out with you..."

Zhou Quan glanced at Princess Yilan again, then lowered his head and said.

Although the woman in front of her was plainly dressed, she had an impressive aura. In front of her, Zhou Quan always felt ashamed of herself. After one glance, she dared not look again...

"Well, go prepare some meals and send them to the box on the third floor!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang!"

Just as Zhang Twelve was about to turn around and go upstairs, he was stopped by Zhou Quan, who bowed his head and whispered a few words, it turned out that the crown prince and King Kang came again, and of course, there was also the bully Qin Dayou.

Zhang Twelve was a little curious. The three of them were more courageous than the other. They were all stunned by him, and they still had the confidence to come here. It's really courageous!

Regardless of other things, he took Princess Yilan upstairs. He didn't want to trouble the three of them. After all, he cheated the prince so much money yesterday, so what if he let him have a free meal today?

You can't pit the prince every day, right?
But the sky did not come true, as soon as we reached the third floor, we ran into the prince who came out of the box, and the two met again at the stairs...

"I didn't eat here today!"

This is the first sentence the prince uttered when he saw Zhang Twelve. I'm afraid only he knows how bitter these words contain...

He was bullied by Zhang Twelve twice in a row in this restaurant. Although the prince was angry, he was really afraid of Zhang Twelve. If it wasn't for seeing Qin Yutong, he wouldn't have come if he was beaten to death!

Fortunately today, Zhang Twelve was not there when he came to the restaurant, but unfortunately, Qin Yutong was also not there...

He wanted to leave directly, afraid of running into Zhang Twelve again, but Qin Dayou said that Qin Yutong would usually go to another restaurant at this time, and he would be back soon...

The poor prince listened to Qin Dayou's words, but Qin Yutong didn't come back after waiting. Seeing that he had arrived at the restaurant, he was hungry. Seeing this, Qin Dayou wanted to order food, but the prince stopped him!
Do you think I'm stupid?

After ordering food, he will ask me for money when he comes back later?
Thinking of the money he was cheated of, the prince felt very pained: Hmph, even if labor and capital starve to death, they won’t eat a bite of your meal when they leave this shop...

Well, there was no real fragrance this time, because the prince was determined and said that he would not eat here. After waiting for a long time without any results, he was about to leave, and happened to meet the evil star Zhang Twelve.

His head was going to be big, and he thought it was lucky he didn't eat here, so he blurted out that sentence...

"Oh, Your Highness, I understand! It's time for dinner, isn't Your Highness here to eat before leaving?"

Zhang Twelve asked with a smile.

"Don't eat! I'm not hungry!"

The prince raised his head, looking very proud: Huh, I want to cheat my money again, and I tell you, no way!

Hearing what the prince said, Zhang Twelve looked very regretful and said, "Hey, that's a pity!"

"What a pity?"

The prince asked suspiciously.

"Your Highness, look who this is?"

Zhang Twelve got out of the way, and the prince saw Princess Yilan who was blocked by Zhang Twelve, and said in surprise, "Yilan, why are you here?"

Princess Yilan replied with a smile: "Brother Huang, I will go out for a walk with ten... Zhang Xianbo!"

"Go shopping? Does the emperor know?"

As he said that, he looked at Zhang Twelve with disgust, as if he was saying that Zhang Twelve abducted Princess Yilan...

"Well, it was the father who called Uncle Zhang to the palace..."

Yilan is still the same Yilan, still smiling brightly.

The prince looked at Zhang Twelve again, and his thoughts on this person became more complicated...

He should have hated him and hated him, after all he had done so many things that made him hate...

But his father, his younger sister, and the younger brother he also hated all admired him and had a close relationship with him—wouldn't it be a little bad if he was at such a stalemate with him again?
Thinking of this, the crown prince felt that he should be more magnanimous, change a bit, and said to Zhang Twelve with a smile: "Then I would like to thank Uncle Zhang for taking such care of the imperial sister—I don’t know what Zhang Xianbo meant when he said it was a pity? "

"Returning to Your Highness, I was going to invite Princess Yilan to dinner, and I thought that if His Highness hadn't eaten, then we could have it together, but I didn't expect His Highness to be hungry..."

"........."

Seeing Zhang Twelve's humble appearance, the prince was so angry: It's hard for you to have blood, how could you miss it so much?
"Oh, I suddenly feel very hungry again - it happens that the imperial sister is here, so I will stay for dinner..."

But I was thinking in my heart, I should be more ruthless later...

"Oh, thank you, Your Highness! Your Highness is really generous, so today I will be honored by Princess Yilan, and I will be treated by His Highness!"

Zhang Twelve said excitedly.

"........."

"Wait—didn't you say you invited this meal?"

The prince held back his excitement and asked.

"Your Highness, what I said was to invite Princess Yilan, but if His Highness had a meal, how would I dare to pay? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the Crown Prince? Therefore, I would like to thank His Highness for your hospitality!"

"........."

The prince was about to cry. If he knew this was the result, why didn't he just leave?

But now, there is no way to leave...

"Why can you invite Yilan to eat, but Bengong has to pay for it?"

The prince thought for a long time before asking this question.

"Because—the princess is a woman! You can't let a woman pay the bill, can you?"

Although he was a bachelor in his previous life, Zhang Twelve also knows the reason why men and women eat and men pay, although he has never tried it...

"........."

The prince was completely speechless, he could only smash his teeth and swallowed it...

…………

The meal was carried on in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere...

However, only Zhang Twelve and Princess Yilan can relate to these two words, while the crown prince and Prince Kang sat awkwardly on the side, with wonderful expressions on their faces—as for Qin Dayou, how could he have any status? Dinner with Princess Yilan?He was driven away by Zhang Twelve!

Thinking of Qin Dayou's resentful and resentful eyes before leaving, Zhang Twelve was very excited: As long as you stay in Jingzhou, labor and capital will not make you comfortable!
Because it was the crown prince who paid the bill, Zhang Twelve was a good point. I am not afraid that Princess Yilan will not be able to eat it, but the crown prince will spend less!

Seeing the dishes served one after another, some Princess Yilan took one bite and then took it away, while more Princess Yilan just glanced at it, felt that the dishes were ugly, so they stopped paying attention, and then took them down...

This meal has almost become Princess Yilan's food-testing meeting. Basically all the dishes in the restaurant have been eaten, and Zhang Twelve said to Princess Yilan while serving the dishes: "Your Highness, you try everything— —There are still a lot of dishes, don't be polite..."

When the prince heard this, his face turned green: Damn, this meal is paid for by labor and capital, why does it sound like your treat?
Watching the waiters delivering and removing food back and forth, the prince felt pain in his flesh, how could he be in the mood to eat it?
Standing up, she said to Princess Yilan: "Sister Huang, Brother Huang has something to do today, so I won't be here to accompany you—"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhang Twelve, and said viciously: "Uncle Zhang, you must ensure Yilan's safety, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"His Royal Highness, don't worry! Your Majesty will definitely escort Princess Yilan back to the palace! By the way, don't forget to pay the bill when your Highness leaves!"

"........."

Zhang Twelve took another look at Zhou Quan who was standing at the door, and said again, "Zhou Quan, Your Highness is a regular customer of our restaurant, don't think that His Highness has a lot of money to charge you more—just charge 500 taels! "

"........."

The prince had already walked to the door, but when he heard this, he staggered and almost fell to the ground, his posture was very awkward...

Looking at his appearance, several people in the room already knew that from today onwards, this "regular customer" might not come here often again, um, it's possible not to come...

…………

The crown prince and the young follower Kang Wangshizi left, and Zhang Twelve didn't have time to think about how they left.

After a while, Zhou Quan came up again and said to Zhang Twelve: "My lord, His Royal Highness has already left!"

"Oh, His Highness walked quite fast, it seems that something really happened..."

"........."

"Has the money been paid?"

"paid!"

"How many?"

This is what Zhang Twelve is most interested in.

"Total - more than 680 taels, His Royal Highness dropped seven or eight taels, and left without even asking for change, really generous!"

Well, Lu San's "generous" sentence successfully made Zhang Twelve laugh. How is this generous?
This is angry!I was so angry that I couldn't wait to get the change, so I ran away!

However, the price of this meal is indeed a bit high!The crown prince asked him to cheat him three times in a row, so there might not be much food left at home, right?
"Why is this meal so expensive?"

I didn't drink any alcohol today, the price really scared Zhang Twelve...

"My lord, it's you who said that His Highness is not short of money, let us fry all the dishes in the restaurant - that's why the price is..."

Lu San said truthfully.

"Oh, that's it...the dishes are all served?"

Even with additions and withdrawals, although Zhang Twelve didn't count, there are more than 20. For four people, even if they only eat one bite of each dish, they will be full!
"Young master, it's less than half of it... Otherwise, why would it be so expensive? Because there are too many people today, and the kitchen is a bit busy, these more than 20 are still in a hurry! The rest are being prepared. !"

Good guy, Zhang Twelve in his previous life had only heard about "cooking a book" in the jokes, but he didn't expect that he would be so arrogant today—no, it was the prince who was so arrogant, and directly fried a copy of the restaurant's menu .

Such arrogance—and stupidity, must belong to the prince, right?
　I also read the comments of book friends yesterday and found out that the title of the book has been changed back. . . . .I don't know which title you think is better?
