Chapter 1272 The tiger's intelligence dazzled their dog eyes.
While Da Bao and Arthur were chatting, the head chef of the Lydru Restaurant arrived. Since the hotel was now their own, there was no need to order. They could just cook whatever was good and expensive, and serve it up as soon as it was ready.
Nuan Nuan was already in Da Bao's arms. Knowing that this was their cousin's eldest daughter, Dai Si Li and Susanna had both prepared gifts for Nuan Nuan.
This person's fate is truly astonishing. Nuannuan was just a farmer's daughter from the outskirts of Beijing, but because her family favored boys over girls, she almost drowned shortly after birth.
After being saved by Zuo Mingyue, her life took a dramatic turn. Now she's a duke's daughter. If things had gone according to plan, she would have just lived a life of hardship in a peasant family, enduring beatings, scoldings, and hunger until she was thirteen or fourteen, then been married off to some unknown man, had children, and lived a life of toil.
She may never know in her entire life how big the world is and how many delicious foods there are.
Now her life is filled with wealth and pleasure, so fate is actually just a matter of a single thought, not in herself, but in others.
Arthur looked at the tiger cub and the white wolf with envy. He was an adventurer who loved large, ferocious beasts, the fiercer the better, so he could enjoy the thrill of taming them.
But then his eyes widened. He saw the little tiger and the white wolf stagger to the griddle and watch the chef frying steaks. As expected of the chef at the Lederoo Restaurant, the steaks he made smelled amazing.
These chefs were all worldly-wise; they had seen high-ranking officials and nobles dining with lions or black panthers, so they weren't particularly afraid.
The little tiger ran quickly to Da Bao's side and rubbed its head against Da Bao's hand. Da Bao said impatiently.
"Sweetie, order whatever you want to eat yourself, don't bother me."
The little tiger let out a low growl of grievance, and Da Bao couldn't help but kick it, muttering a curse under his breath.
"You bastard, try cursing me again!"
Arthur burst into laughter, drawing the attention of Desley and Susanna, who were chatting with Zuo Mingyue. Arthur pointed at the little tiger, laughing so hard he almost fell over. What happened next was absolutely astonishing.
The little tiger ran to the griddle where the steaks were cooked, and the white wolf gave him a disdainful look and growled.
The little tiger nodded sadly, then roared at the chef, raised its front paw, and pointed at the steak that was being fried.
The chef was quite clever and quickly asked.
"Would you like it rare or medium-rare?"
His words caused the chefs nearby to burst into laughter. The chef himself couldn't help but laugh when he said that. He actually asked two wild animals whether they wanted rare or medium-rare steaks.
The chef suppressed a laugh, took out two plates, placed the two medium-rare steaks he had just cooked on the plates, and handed them to the doorman. The doorman was no longer afraid of the little tiger, and he placed the plates in front of the little tiger and the white wolf.
The little tiger and the white wolf cheered and grabbed the steaks, chewing them greedily. In the blink of an eye, the steaks were gone. The chef smiled wryly and quickly started frying the steaks again.
The little tiger pointed at the steak, and the chef nodded, meaning "I understand, I'll make it for you right away."
The little tiger lowered its head and started rummaging through the bag hanging on its chest. Arthur was very curious and asked Da Bao in a low voice.
What is the tiger looking for?
Da Bao was eating steak when he heard Arthur's question and answered casually.
"If you enjoy their service, of course you have to give a tip."
Then Arthur's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as the little tiger pulled out a two-hundred-franc note, gurgling in its throat, and stretched its head toward the cook.
The chef pointed to himself in surprise.
"For me?"
The little tiger nodded, and the chef took the banknote from between its teeth, then asked incredulously.
"tip?"
The little tiger stared at the steak and nodded, as if to say, "You're so slow, hurry up and make the food. Young Master Tiger can't wait any longer."
Arthur picked up his wine glass and said admiringly.
"Charlotte, my benefactor, are you an angel? How can you be so full of wonder?"
Da Bao swallowed a bite of steak and couldn't help but burst into laughter...
……
They spent three whole days shopping in Paris, France. Da Bao and Zuo Mingyue's shopping spree was astonishing. No matter which luxury store they went into, after looking at it, they would say, "This, this, this, except for these few, they'll buy everything else..."
Arthur and his friends were all considered wealthy, but they had never seen anyone spend money like this before. In Da Bao's words, this wasn't shopping; it was street sweeping, sweeping street by street.
Anyway, after sweeping, she would store everything in her spatial storage when she returned to the hotel. Currently, Lu Xiu'e spends her days in her spatial storage changing and trying on clothes, or changing and trying on clothes for Niu Niu.
There were too many clothes; the entire west wing of the courtyard house couldn't hold them all.
Qin Qingyou's favorite thing is gold. He already had a mountain of gold at home, and Da Bao'er has brought in so much more. Even the main gate is made entirely of gold. Da Bao'er's gold reserves are now equivalent to the total reserves of all the countries in Asia.
But Da Bao knew that he was still a long way from becoming the world's richest man. Any one of those families with hundreds or thousands of years of history was far richer than him. But he wasn't in a hurry because his wealth was increasing every day.
……
Three days later, Da Bao and the others took a train to Austria, where Sofia and Zuo Wenbin's family stayed in Hallschwart, a beautiful town straight out of a fairy tale.
The town of Halswat is surrounded by the Alps and is most famous for its salt mines, which have a history of over 7,000 years and are known as the oldest salt town.
The beauty here is like a postcard photo, with clear lake water and wooden cabins by the lake creating a stunning scene.
Sofia and Zuo Wenbin moved here for two reasons: first, Zuo Wenbin's health was deteriorating, and they could no longer afford the high medical expenses; second, they had sold all their properties and had no choice but to move to this villa in Halswarth because of its clean air, beautiful scenery, and extremely low cost of living.
The only problem was the children's education, as there was only one school in the town, and the quality of education was predictably poor. So, Sophia and Zuo Wenbin had no choice but to tutor their children at home.
However, a few days ago, Zuo Wenbin fell ill again. The shrapnel in his right chest had not yet been removed, and the high fever caused by inflammation made him delirious.
Whenever he babbles incoherently, he endlessly calls out a name, and whenever he does, Sofia can't help but cry. She keeps making the sign of the cross, praying to God to bless her daughter Aymu so that she can live...
