My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2578
2578 Listless Pavilion
When Mo Lian returned to the present, he saw that the little fellow had climbed onto his thighs like a small furry creature. She was sitting in his embrace and looking at him puzzledly.
The man nearly couldn’t control himself from reflexively toppling her…
Consequently, he hastily set this little ancestor aside and calmed his agitated mind. He coughed lightly, “Qiaoqiao, don’t randomly climb around!”
Qiao Mu pursed her petite lips and unhappily retracted her paws.
With this interruption, the question she had asked him had long been thrown out of her mind.
!!
Mo Lian naturally wasn’t going to actively bring up that vessel market. The conversation had moved on just like this.
Before long, they arrived at Listless Pavilion. The two of them alighted from the carriage and were welcomed in by two quick-witted boy servants at the entrance.
Just the entry fee required one hundred spirit currency per person. It was not cheap. Those who were not from wealthy families would not be coming to this kind of place to spend money.
They were lucky to get the last private room on the second floor.
The main hall below was already completely packed. There was still 15 minutes before the start of the performance.
Customers could eat and make merry in this Listless Pavilion, so business was usually booming.
Once it was nighttime, it would be a full house every day.
It was said that the owner of this pavilion had great business acumen, knowing how to take advantage of rich people’s desire to compete with each other in splurging money.
Every performance had a special segment where they announced the top spenders.
After the performance ended, the emcee would immediately go up and announce, ‘this Lord Wang had spent this much and this much spirit currency, while that Lord Zhao had given a certain villa’s land and building deeds!’
The list of examples went on.
With this performance, the rich people would enjoy themselves and happily splurge their money, and the owner of this Listless Pavilion would earn a killing.
Most importantly, the owner of the Listless Pavilion put on all sorts of performances. It was not enough for other people who wanted to copy the idea to create an acrobatics troupe.
It was just that this owner was too clever, putting on a new performance every so often. This would lead the latest fad in Dragon Flame City once again…
It was useless for other people to plagiarize. Just as you copied the performance, they would come out with a new one. The endless new tricks were too much for other people to handle. The rich all liked to go to Listless Pavilion. Even if there were a few who went to other acrobatic troupes, it wasn’t that much of a loss.
Other places wrote their dishes on wooden slabs and hung them on the wall for people to order from, or, some smaller shops wouldn’t even have that at all. What was available to order all depended on what the waiter offered.
This place was not like that. Not only did they make an extremely exquisite menu that was like a thin booklet, the prices of the various dishes were clearly listed.
For example, a plate of potato noodles cost 50 spirit currency. It was astronomically expensive, but this was the first time Qiaoqiao encountered such a way to order food.
The waiter declared proudly, “Of course! Our menu is one of a kind in the entire Dragon Flame City!”
The pride he felt overflowed from his tone of voice.
Qiao Mu glanced at the waiter and ordered several dishes. She then flipped the page and ordered several more.
The waiter hastily said, “Miss, just the two of you may not be able to finish eating it all ordering so much.”
Qiao Mu didn’t care and ordered a few more dishes. Only then did she close the menu shut and tell the waiter, “It’ll just be this. You can go prepare now.”
