Food is heaven.

Among the restaurants in Beijing, the best one is the "Shiweitian" restaurant under the name of Tianxing Pavilion.

Not only are the ingredients here fresh, the chef in charge is also an old chef who retired from the imperial kitchen in the palace. The dishes he makes are delicious and tasty.

Eating here is almost the same as eating imperial cuisine.

People all over the world yearn for the imperial cuisine in the palace and want to know what kind of delicious food it is.

Because of this curiosity, Shiweitian Restaurant is always full of guests every day, and most of the guests are dignitaries.

Duke Su was in a very good mood as he had just received 12,000 taels of silver. He decided to take Zhao with him to splurge and ordered a table of food and wine from Shiweitian.

"Waiter, we need a private room."

The waiter was about to respond when he heard someone say with a smile, "Excuse me, sirs, there are no more private rooms. Can you dine in the lobby?"

The waiter turned around and saw that it was the shopkeeper who came, so he understood and shut up.

Duke Su showed displeasure on his face and said in a deep voice: "What is the status of this Duke... How can he have a meal in the lobby?"

In fact, when Su Pinggui was halfway through his words, he remembered that he no longer had the title of Duke, but he still controlled his tone and finished his words.

The shopkeeper of Food for Heaven smiled and apologized, "So it was the Duke who came in person. I'm really sorry, but there is indeed no private room upstairs. How about sending a steamed bear paw to the Duke later?"

When Duke Su heard about this good thing, he pretended to say, "Okay, since the shopkeeper is so sensible, I will reluctantly accept it."

After saying that, Duke Su and Zhao found a seat by the window.

After the two of them sat down, the waiter brought a pot of tea. They were waiting for the food to be served when a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe came in. He walked like a dragon and faced the red light. After entering the door, he waved his hand and said, "Waiter, give me a roasted whole lamb."

The waiter raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Oh, Master Ji got rich again today?"

The Taoist priest called Ji Daozhang stroked his beard and laughed: "It's more than just getting rich! It's getting very rich!"

Taoist Ji waved his hand and said loudly: "All expenses for the guests' meals in the lobby today will be covered by Ji!"

"Wow! It seems that Master Ji has really made a fortune. He is so arrogant!"

The guests who were having dinner in the lobby exclaimed, looked at Taoist Ji with burning eyes, and praised him.

Duke Su and Zhao looked at each other with delight. They actually had a sucker to treat them to a meal, so they saved a lot of money today.

At this moment, Master Ji walked around the lobby and found that there were no seats left. He then walked up to Duke Su and bowed with a smile, "I wonder if this old man could be of some convenience and let me share a table."

It was difficult for Duke Su to refuse since he had benefited from it.

After Master Ji took his seat, Duke Su moved to the side, as if he was afraid that Master Ji would dirty his clothes.

"Waiter, serve the food quickly. I'm hungry. This is for you. It's enough to pay the bill tonight."

In full view of everyone, Taoist Ji took out a huge purse from his arms. When he untied the rope, he found golden ingots inside.

Master Ji picked up a gold ingot and threw it to the waiter.

The waiter quickly caught it and took a bite with his teeth. "Wow, wow, wow, it's real."

Duke Su looked at the big bag of gold and couldn't help but clear his throat. Zhao, who was standing next to him, was even more embarrassed, her eyeballs were about to fall into the money bag.

Duke Su laughed twice and moved closer to Taoist Ji.

"I don't know where he got his fortune from, how come he is so rich?"

Taoist Ji shook his head, looking very sophisticated, "The secret cannot be revealed~"

When Duke Su saw that he refused to say anything, his smile became a little stiff, and his eyes kept wandering on Master Ji's money bag, wishing he could take it for himself.

While waiting for the food to be served, Taoist Ji took a look at Duke Su and said in surprise: "Looking at your face, I'm afraid you have suffered a disaster today, but after all the bad times have come, you will be rich and powerful. You should also make a fortune!"

Duke Su was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Really?"

"of course it's true!"

Taoist Ji swore solemnly, then lowered his voice and said, "To tell you the truth, I am the most effective in fortune-telling. I made a fortune today because of the fortune I calculated. Because of this, I got a treasure, so..."

In the middle of his words, Master Ji realized that he had let something slip, and he quickly laughed, "Forget it, forget it, I won't say any more."

Duke Su's heart warmed when he heard this. Treasure? What treasure?

Under the table, Zhao kicked Duke Su, and then the couple exchanged glances.

When the food and wine were served, Duke Su suddenly became enthusiastic and personally picked up the wine pot and said:

"Haha, Master Ji, it's fate that we meet. Come on, old brother, let me toast you."

"Okay, okay, we in the Dao sect value fate the most, so we should drink this cup."

After a glass of wine, the relationship between the two seemed to have become much closer. They kept calling each other "older brother" and "older brother". Zhao also found an excuse to drink more, and soon Master Ji's face was flushed and his neck was thick.

Duke Su filled Master Ji's glass with wine. Seeing that he was drunk, he cautiously asked, "Master Ji, you just said you got a treasure. What is it?"

Taoist Ji burped and grinned, "Brother, I treat you as my own, so I can tell you, but you must not tell others. As the saying goes, a man is innocent until he is found guilty."

"Don't worry, my dear brother. I, Su, have always kept my mouth shut. My neighbors all have a good reputation for me!"

Taoist Ji smiled and nodded, then he put his arm around Duke Su's shoulders and said in a low voice, "Brother, I'll tell you the truth, I got a treasure bowl today."

"Cornucopia? What cornucopia?"

Duke Su felt a sense of awe and widened his eyes.

Zhao was also curious and moved closer.

Taoist Ji had an unfathomable expression and said in a strange tone: "The cornucopia is said to be a treasure left by the Taoist ancestor in the world. It implies the great Dao, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three!"

Duke Su shook his head upon hearing this, "I don't understand."

Taoist Ji licked his lips and explained: "If you put a silver ingot in, you can get two silver ingots, and if you put a gold ingot in, you can get two gold ingots."

When these words came out, Duke Su's eyes almost fell to the ground.

"Is this true? Is there such a treasure in the world?"

"Of course it's true. Where do you think I got this bag of gold?"

Duke Su's heart was pounding. His eyes rolled around, and then he shook his head and said, "Brother, what you said is a bit too mysterious. I don't believe it."

Taoist Ji was immediately anxious when he heard this, "How can I lie to you?"

"I don't believe it unless you let me see it with my own eyes." Duke Su soon revealed his true colors.
