After the group sat down, a young woman immediately came over with a menu.
"Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?"
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his entourage took the menu and glanced at it, then were immediately taken aback.
I've never seen many of these dishes before.
"This, this, and this... I don't want these 20 dishes, but I'll have everything else!"
The young woman was stunned when she heard this. There were over a hundred dishes ordered. If this order went through, she would get a lot of commission!
"Sir, are you sure? This isn't cheap!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang immediately picked up the menu and looked at it. What he saw startled him.
The cheapest glass of lemonade costs a staggering 1 tael of silver.
The most expensive item was a bottle of wine, worth 500 taels of gold.
"What kind of wine is this? It's so expensive!"
The waitress quickly smiled and explained, "Sir, this is our most expensive red wine, 1982 Lafite. We only have a few bottles left in our stock."
"What? 1982 Lafite? This wine is that amazing?"
"Excellent, sir. This wine was developed by our county magistrate; its unique flavor rivals that of royal brews!"
'Royal Immortal Wine, bullshit! Even the finest nectar I drink isn't this expensive—500 taels of gold!'
"Ahem, let's order again then. This one, this one, and this one..."
Knowing that the menu had prices, everyone specifically chose the cheapest dishes.
At this moment, in a villa, Qin Hao is teaching Li Bai how to use firearms and ammunition.
"Brother Qin, this thing of yours is amazing! Someone like me who has never practiced archery can hit a target that far away so easily. It's a Divine Artifact!"
"Alright, Brother Li, now you know how to drive a car and how to use a gun. The only thing you don't know how to fly is an airplane. Now I'll teach you how to fly a helicopter."
As he spoke, he led Li Bai to an armed helicopter.
This helicopter is Qin Hao's latest WZ-10 helicopter, a combat helicopter carrying over ten tons of ammunition.
In this era, it's enough to dominate the world.
After boarding the helicopter, Qin Hao piloted it directly into the sky.
Li Bai was just like a child in the helicopter.
Since arriving in Taoyuan County, Li Bai has tried many different new things, both big and small.
But this was the first time it had ever flown into the sky.
Looking down at Taoyuan County from inside the helicopter, Li Bai realized that Taoyuan County was truly different from all other cities.
This place is like a secluded paradise, a perfect haven.
At that moment, at the entrance of the Haidilao restaurant, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his entourage suddenly saw a huge bird flying in the sky.
What kind of bird is this? Why does it have such a strange shape?
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang looked at the camouflage-colored armed helicopters in the sky and said...
Just then, a wealthy businessman came out of the Haidilao restaurant and overheard this, bursting into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his entourage were puzzled and asked, "Brother, what are you laughing at?"
"Hahaha, no, no hahaha, that's hilarious!"
"Hey, look! That bird flew away and disappeared!"
At this moment, the wealthy businessman said, "Hahaha, this must be your first time in Taoyuan County. That thing just now wasn't a bird, it was an airplane!"
"What, that's an airplane?"
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was immediately startled. The word "airplane" had been mentioned in Qin Hao's article.
It is also a type of transportation; one can fly into the sky and travel tens of thousands of miles a day.
I never expected to actually see it in Taoyuan County.
"Wow, that's impressive! First time visiting Taoyuan County, and you even know about airplanes! Not bad, not bad at all, haha!"
With that, the wealthy merchant left, leaving Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his entourage standing there, completely bewildered.
"Your Majesty... this Lord Qin actually managed to create these things! Everything described in the article has come true! This is simply unbelievable!"
"Yes, it's incredible, it's like a dream!"
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also looked at the blue sky with excitement, even though Qin Hao had already piloted the helicopter away from Taoyuan County.
At this moment, above Chang'an City, Qin Hao had already brought Li Bai to this part of the sky.
"Brother Qin, have we arrived in Chang'an by now?"
"Yes, Brother Li, how about it? Our plane is fast, isn't it!"
"Quick, I remember it only took us a short while to get here from Taoyuan County, it's amazing."
"By the way, Brother Qin, you're not a god, are you?"
"Ahem, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm just an ordinary person!"
While Qin Hao and Li Bai were strolling around the Chang'an City, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his entourage entered a hotel called "Great Tang".
"Welcome, gentlemen, please come in!"
A young female server led Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his entourage to the front desk to check in.
When it came time to choose a room, the group was dumbfounded.
Oh, so this hotel room is heaven! It's not only huge, but it also has AI-controlled appliances.
But the most expensive room only costs 10 taels of silver.
That's not all; the hotel also offers food, drinks, and entertainment.
But it wasn't that expensive.
However, when I first arrived in Taoyuan County, why were the prices at the Jiu Kenni Hotel so expensive, with a single room costing 58 taels of silver?
Five people booked five of the most luxurious rooms, and it only cost them 50 taels of silver.
At this moment, in Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's room!
"Your Majesty, we've been swindled out of nearly a thousand taels of silver from yesterday to today! You must know that last year the disaster relief funds allocated to Taoyuan County were only 1,000 taels of silver!"
Zhang Shuo then complained to the Tianxuan Sect.
"Alright, stop talking. Didn't they say we could call the police? Let's go to the yamen (government office) and call the police right now."
After leaving the house, the group hailed a taxi and headed towards the government office.
This government office is located in the main urban area, while Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his entourage are currently in the South Urban District.
The distance from the South Urban District to the main urban area is more than 100 kilometers.
However, the taxi driver took the highway, so it only took 30 minutes to get there.
"Gentlemen, the journey covered 100 kilometers, and the fare totaled 200 copper coins."
The driver spoke to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his entourage.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his entourage widened their eyes in astonishment.
Listen to this! Only 200 copper coins! Last night, I spent 250 taels of silver on a carriage ride.
Zhang Shuo also shocked by the price. Without saying a word, he took out one tael of silver and handed it to the taxi driver.
"Keep the change, keep the extra as a tip."
Zhang Shuo to the taxi driver's phone used for navigation and asked, "By the way, I saw you using this little box to talk. What's it called? Where can I buy it?"
