Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1046 Good Things

Wow, this restaurant is full of good stuff! Not only is the tea excellent, but the wine is also top-notch.

The color and taste of the wine are very authentic; nothing else has been added.

Lin Feng picked up the wine, took a small sip, then closed his eyes to savor the taste.

Sure enough, the spiciness was accompanied by a mellow and fragrant flavor, stimulating his taste buds and filling his mouth with a rich aroma.

Lin Feng sighed. Ever since he escaped from Shu Qin's clutches, he had been living in coastal areas and had never enjoyed anything so good.

This is life. What is the meaning of life?

It's right there on the table in front of you.

Four cold dishes have already been served; they are exquisite and beautiful. Only a master chef could create such high-class dishes.

In these war-torn times, it is truly remarkable that a city on the outskirts of the region, living a precarious existence, could still afford such a high-end banquet.

The tea was good, the wine was good, and the food was even better.

As several main dishes were served, Lin Feng felt even more the joy of being human, the joy of being rich.

Huang San and Zhang Liu could only stand aside, their lips tightly pressed together, swallowing their saliva imperceptibly, watching Lin Feng devour his meal with longing eyes.

In order to get more reward money, they naturally dared not sit down. If they angered Lin Feng, they would be lucky to get a single penny, since he had a knife stuck in his waistband.

These pirates would readily draw their swords, and wouldn't rest until blood was drawn.

Lin Feng ate and drank to his heart's content, having not enjoyed himself like this in a long time, and naturally wanted to savor the experience.

The waiter leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Sir, we have a new singer at our shop. Not only is he handsome, but his singing is absolutely wonderful..."

Huang San started shouting before he could finish speaking.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call the adults over. Don't you have any sense?"

The waiter readily agreed and quickly ran downstairs.

These restaurant waiters make a living by doing this. He introduces them, and when he gets a tip, the singers naturally share the money with him.

Before long, someone came down from downstairs to the third floor.

Lin Feng couldn't see anyone through the screen.

Lin Feng only managed to glance at her when the waiter brought in a woman.

The woman was young, with a plain face. Although she wasn't as beautiful as the waiter had exaggeratedly described, she wasn't bad-looking either. Her main advantage was her youth, fair skin, and decent-looking eyebrows and eyes.

A woman like that, who can make a living in such chaotic times, must have a powerful backer.

Two musicians followed behind the woman, carrying a zither and a se, and stood bowing to the side.

Lin Feng nodded, signaling them to start singing.

After bowing, the woman turned to signal the musicians to prepare to begin.

Immediately, a melodious zither tune began to play, with the zither and drums resonating in harmony, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

After the prelude, the woman began to speak.

Lin Feng paused, his hand holding the wine glass still; he found the sound pleasant.

"Beacon fires illuminate the city, my heart is filled with indignation. I bid farewell to the imperial palace, my iron cavalry encircling the border. Snow obscures the painted banners, the wind mingles with the sound of drums. Better to be a centurion than a scholar..."

The woman's singing voice was melodious, yet it possessed a thrilling, heroic quality that stirred the blood and stirred the spirit of war.

Lin Feng nodded repeatedly, "Good, well sung..."

After the woman finished singing, she bowed in respect.

"My lord, if you enjoy listening to this, please give me a few pieces as a reward. It will help me soothe my throat so that I can present you with even more beautiful music."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Yes, you must reward him. Huang San, here's the reward."

Huang San, Zhang Liu, and the waiter standing by all nodded in agreement, waiting for Lin Feng to take out the money.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng turned around and started shouting at Huang San.

Huang San was stunned.

However, he reacted quickly and figured that Lin Feng would definitely make him pay a tip first, and then pay him even more later.

Fortunately, he still had a few loose silver coins on him, which he immediately took out from his pocket and squeezed in his hand.

"Sir, here is a reward of two taels of silver."

A reward of two qian of silver is quite substantial.

Normally, giving three or five copper coins would be a decent tip, but two coins of silver could be exchanged for two hundred copper coins.

Huang San naturally had his own plans. Seeing Lin Feng's extravagance, he knew he must be a rich man, and a very rich one at that.

Naturally, Lin Feng should not be treated poorly; he must be rewarded handsomely to reflect his status and to give him face.

But what he didn't know was that Lin Feng really had no money.

Lin Feng pointed to the wine pot: "Huang San is not bad, have a drink."

Huang San was overjoyed. He picked up the wine cup with trembling hands, bent over, covered it with his sleeve, and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Okay, you sang well, sing another song."

The woman was naturally excited to receive such a generous reward, and sang even more energetically and beautifully.

Their commotion disturbed the guests behind another screen.

The person behind this screen is a big shot in Fu'an Prefecture, the son of the highest-ranking general of the garrison, Tsuruta Ichiro.

The invading pirates were mainly composed of four families, with the Atsumi family as the leader and the Tsuruta family as one of the four families. Their family tradition is joint lock techniques.

Its characteristic is that it is persistent and relentless.

Years of tradition have influenced the Tsuruta family's character, giving them a relentless and tenacious style.

Therefore, other families are not very willing to deal with them, knowing that the Tsuruta family members are all difficult to deal with.

Today, Ichiro Tsuruta is hosting a banquet for a relative of his family, his cousin, Cho Tsuruta.

For once, Ichiro Tsuruta put on a serious act in front of his cousin, not only dressing neatly and behaving dignifiedly, but also appearing gentle and refined.

Tsuruta Cho is a pretty little girl with a lively personality. Her father is a disciple of the Munen-ryu school and the backer of the Tsuruta family.

That's why Ichiro Tsuruta behaved very properly in front of Cho Tsuruta.

Tsuruta Cho heard the singing and found it very beautiful, so he smiled at Tsuruta Ichiro.

"Brother Ichiro, may I play a song for you?"

Tsuruta Ichiro was a man who could do whatever he wanted in Fuan Prefecture. Spoiled by his father, he dared to do anything, so hiring a singer was a piece of cake for him.

"Someone, bring that singer over here, let her sing for the young lady all day."

Tsuruta Cho giggled.

"Brother Ichiro is so generous, but I only need to listen to two songs."

Upon hearing Tsuruta Ichiro's order, the servant standing outside the screen immediately turned and walked towards the screen where Lin Feng was.

A waiter stood outside the screen and, seeing someone approaching, quickly went to greet them.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Tsuruta Ichiro's family waved their hands: "Bring that singer over here, my master wants to hear a song."

The waiter smiled and said, "Alright, please wait a moment, I'll go and fetch it for you right away."

After saying that, the waiter turned around and went behind the screen, quietly approaching the waiter who was standing behind the screen.

"Hey, over there they're calling for a singer."

The waiter was also happy; business was good today, with so many customers ordering songs.

"Wait a minute, we'll be finished singing here soon."

"Okay, hurry up, we can't afford to offend them."

Tsuruta Ichiro was a regular at Anshunlou, so the waiters naturally knew how formidable he was.

Of course, they're still singing, so we can't interrupt them. They just gave us a big reward, and the second song isn't even finished yet. How can we just drag them away?
