Jiujiu Restaurant had long enjoyed a great reputation. It was a mysterious scenario that even Lord Xila of Fairytale Town regarded warily.
Chen Lin was very interested in the restaurant's food.
That was why he had asked for a steamed bun.
He wanted to compare their Eighteen Fragrant Steamed Bun with his own two varieties and see which was better.
But when Zhang Dayou heard Chen Lin's request, he shook his head like a rattle drum.
"No, that won't do. These belong to the restaurant. I'm only responsible for selling them. Anyone who wants to eat them has to pay."
Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.
He glanced at Zhang Dayou and said mildly, "I'm one of the restaurant's owners, after all. Don't I even have the right to eat a steamed bun?"
"Besides, when you lost to me in that contest, you agreed to certain conditions. Have you forgotten them all now?"
"I..."
Zhang Dayou's face alternated between pale and red.
But he still stood his ground.
"No means no!"
Then his bravado faltered.
"At least, not here. If you want to eat them, you can go to Jiujiu Restaurant and eat however you like there. But Grand Duke White Moonlight's rules apply here. Merchandise can't be given away casually. Even I have to pay to eat one."
"So that's how it is."
Chen Lin felt that he was not lying.
So he stopped pressing the matter.
He said casually, "Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. How many Nightmare Coins for one? I'll just buy it."
"Nightmare Coins won't do. You need Lanshan Coins. One Lanshan Coin per basket."
"Lanshan Coins?"
Chen Lin frowned.
He had never heard of that currency.
"They're the currency used exclusively here. You have to solve lantern riddles to get them."
