The next day, Li Yunxi entertained the five richest gentry in Xuzhou at the best restaurant in Xuzhou.

These five gentry were the same ones who had discussed matters in Wengling before. Because they took preventive Chinese medicine and took a supplement of thousand-year-old ginseng and hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, they were not infected and were intact in the end.

In order to entertain them, Li Yunxi specially opened the closed restaurant and carefully decorated an elegant and spacious dining room.

A unique low table was placed in front of each noble gentleman, and there were beauties in gorgeous clothes waiting beside him, just like a royal banquet.

All the gentry were flattered and frightened.

Li Yunxi sat on the main seat, first offered everyone a cup of tea, and said very politely.

"I came here to visit and don't know much about the customs and customs of Xuzhou. I heard that you are all experts, so I invited you to come and give me some advice."

The gentry looked at each other in disbelief. Who would travel to a place plagued by plague?

The wealthy gentleman with the mustache was still able to adapt to the situation and immediately smiled.

"Don't dare, don't dare, just tell His Highness King Xi if you have any needs, and we will definitely meet them."

Other gentry also hurriedly responded.

"It must be satisfying, it must be satisfied."

As they talked, they picked up the teacups and took a sip with Li Yunxi respectfully.

As soon as they took the tea in their mouths, their faces turned a little green.

Each of these wealthy gentry had tea gardens, and all of them were experts in tea tasting. They thought that the tea given to them by Li Yunxi must be of the highest quality, but they did not expect that the tea tasted bitter and had a strong musty smell, making it difficult to swallow.

"Cough cough!"

Goatee swallowed with a painful look on his face, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and cough twice.

"Uh……"

The fat gentry, who had a very high quality of tea, almost vomited it out, but he arched his mouth and swallowed hard.

Li Yunxi looked puzzled, picked up the tea cup and took another sip.

"What, don't you like it? This is a special tea, I think it's very good!"

"Good tea, good tea!"

Although the noble gentry were surprised that King Xi had unique taste, they could only lie against their will.

"If it tastes good, drink more, but don't waste it."

Li Yunxi smiled gently, raised his head and drank all the tea in the cup.

In order to please the prince, all the gentry could only drink up the tea in their cups with grim expressions.

Li Yunxi said happily when he saw this.

"It seems that you all share the same interests with me, so hurry up and continue with them."

The beauties obeyed the order and immediately picked up the porcelain pot to refill it for them. The noble gentry complained inwardly but had to laugh on the surface.

After that, Li Yunxi chatted and laughed with the gentry, talking about the anecdotes of Xuzhou. He only said a few words about the plague and famine, but as long as he drank tea, the gentry could only drink with him.

When it was time to serve the food, Li Yunxi propped up his chin with his hand and said with a smile,

"Just eating and chatting is boring. How about we play a game?"

"Yeah!"

All the wealthy gentry hurriedly cooperated.

Li Yunxi said leisurely while playing with the teacup with his hands.

"I am used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, so I naturally want to try something new, so I ordered a few unique folk dishes. You are all experts. Guess the name of the dish. If you guess it right, I will get a reward. If you guess wrong or you can't guess it, you will be rewarded. , let’s not imitate the rough people in the market who fine us alcohol, but just three cups of tea, how about that?”

All the gentry hesitated, no one wanted to drink this bad tea anymore.

Seeing this scene, Li Yunxi sighed in disappointment,

"It seems you are not interested in playing with me."

Goat Beard thought about the delicacies he had never eaten before, so it shouldn't be difficult, and hurriedly said with a flattering smile.

“It would be so much fun and we would love to do it.”

"Yeah, yeah, let's get started."

All the gentry clapped their hands and cooperated.

Li Yunxi smiled brightly and ordered the waiter waiting beside him.

"Okay, let's try our skills first and serve the food."

After a while, the waiter came over with a large plate full of grilled food. Among them were six skewers of grilled food, all of which were skewered with iron skewers. Most of them were small animals with strange shapes, and they were all sprinkled with pepper noodles and chili noodles. Grilled until shiny and fragrant.

"Your Highness King Xi, these are roasted bird eggs."

The waiter first took the quail egg-like kebabs from the plate and handed them to Li Yunxi.

"Don't just give it to me, give them one each, taste it, and then tell me what it is."

Li Yunxi pointed at the wealthy gentry.

The waiter obediently distributed the grilled food on the plate to the gentry one by one.

The fat gentry took a small four-legged animal, tasted it, and said confidently.

"Here's a roasted frog!"

The waiter said respectfully.

"His Royal Highness King Xi, he answered correctly."

Li Yunxi smiled.

"Yes, then I will reward this wise man with a bowl of porridge."

The beauty scooped a bowl of white porridge from the pottery pot nearby and gave it to him. Although the fat gentry complained a little about King Xi being so stingy, he still had pride on his face. After all, none of his colleagues had ever tasted this kind of game.

Li Yunxi smiled.

"If you get the answer wrong next time, you can also choose to drink porridge instead of tea."

All the gentry looked at him with envy. It seemed that the porridge was white and crystal clear, and must be much better tasting than the musty tea.

At this time, another sharp-faced gentleman raised a two-clawed animal and answered.

“This is roasted sparrow!

The waiter nodded and Li Yunxi said with a smile.

"Okay, give him a bowl of porridge too!"

Goatee immediately raised the chewed animal in his hand.

"It's also a roasted frog."

The waiter shook his head.

"No, there is only one roasted frog, yours is a roasted toad!"

Goatee's expression changed drastically, and he looked like he was about to vomit. It was obvious that Li Yunxi was staring at him closely, but he didn't dare anymore.

Li Yunxi seemed to have not seen his expression, and said happily.

"You guessed wrong. You should be punished. You should be punished."

So Goatee grimaced again and drank three cups of bitter tea.

The square-faced gentleman picked up the roasted thing in his hand and looked at it carefully. He saw that it had four legs and a thin tail, and he was surprised.

"I'm afraid it's not a gecko."

The waiter nodded, "Congratulations, you got the answer right."

The square-faced gentleman shook his body and dropped the sign in his hand to the ground.

Li Yunxi clicked his tongue twice in dissatisfaction.

"Gecko is also used as medicine. I heard it can also nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang. How can it be wasted like this?"

The square-faced gentleman could only pick it up again with a frown on his face, chewing it with an indescribable expression.

Finally, the eldest old gentleman turned around and looked at the skewers in his hands - small animals with big round heads, swallow tails and flat bodies were strung together on a skewer.

He hesitated for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

The waiter told him the answer.

"It's grilled horseshoe crab!"

Suddenly, the skinny gentry's scalp went numb and he looked hopeless.

"Can't guess? You have to be punished!"

Li Yunxi laughed twice, then took a bite of the roasted bird egg in his hand and smacked his lips.

"It smells so good. I heard that roasted mice are the most popular here. I also want to try it. Unfortunately, Mr. Weng won't let me eat it because he is afraid that I will catch the plague."

Everyone looked at each other, they were all food that the hungry people couldn't eat to satisfy their hunger, and they didn't know whether King Xi really had a unique taste or was deliberately trying to make people happy.

Li Yunxi laughed when he saw their strange expressions.

"Don't stand there in a daze. Eat them all. After this one, there will be another one."

All the gentry ate up the roasted food in their mouths with different expressions. The old gentry who ate horseshoe crabs ran out and vomited without even taking a few bites.

Li Yunxi didn't care about him anymore and said expectantly.

"Everyone had a good meal. I can't wait to try the next dish."

Soon, the waiter served another plate of green side dishes to the gentry.

When the gentry took a look, the dish looked quite normal, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
