Chapter 1014: This is worse than going back to the country to eat instant noodles!

By the banks of Xihu in Hangcheng.

Not long after walking, Lin Yu and Li Zhien saw a restaurant with a sign for authentic Xihu Vinegar Fish.

"Great, looking at this sign and the chic decoration inside, this taste must be good."

Li Zhien clapped her hands excitedly, unable to hide the joy in her heart.

While speaking,

the two also entered the restaurant.

Under their disguise, the waiter didn't discover the identities of the two big stars and kept introducing their signature dishes on the side.

"One serving of Xihu Vinegar Fish."

"Two bowls of rice."

"Just serve whatever for the rest!"

Since Li Zhien had this request,

Lin Yu didn't mind satisfying this girl's curiosity.

"Wow! There are so many people in this restaurant."

"And it seems like there is a plate of Xihu Vinegar Fish on every table."

Li Zhien looked around sneakily.

She couldn't help but cover her small mouth and exclaim.

And upon hearing this,

the tea in Lin Yu's mouth almost sprayed out from laughter.

"No way! Lin Yu, look."

Li Zhien widened her beautiful eyes and pointed to the promotional poster on the restaurant wall, surprised.

"Hangcheng sells 5 million servings of Xihu Vinegar Fish every year?"

"My god! This is even more than 1/10th of our country's population."

Li Zhien said this and couldn't help but swallow, clearly already salivating.

Her restless little hands had already started unwrapping the tableware.

It's hard to imagine how delicious this must be!

This Xihu Vinegar Fish can almost rival the instant noodles and kimchi of the Korean entertainment industry; she must have a good taste of it later.

Looking at Li Zhien's expectant expression,

Lin Yu shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed silently.

"Sales of 5 million servings; at least 4.99 million of those were contributed by out-of-town tourists who didn't believe the rumors!"

"What did you say?"

Li Zhien was still immersed in joy and didn't hear Lin Yu's low-voiced teasing.

And at this moment,

the live stream room had already laughed into a ball.

"Hahaha, Brother Yu is too straightforward, daring to say anything! How does this make the locals feel?"

"I am a local from Hangcheng. First, I want to criticize Brother Yu; the restaurant chosen is wrong. You should recommend going to Louwailou next to Xihu, and you must sit by the window by the lake so that after you finish eating, you can spit it into the lake."

"Pfft! You brat, it was worth it for me to read it word by word."

"Let me tell everyone another true story. My grandmother came from the countryside, and since I can remember, I knew she was frugal and never wasted food. Before coming to the restaurant, she had already prepared a plastic bag for leftovers, but after eating the Xihu Vinegar Fish, she just said, 'Forget it.'"

"Hahaha! Is it that exaggerated?"

"Let me put it this way: Su Dongpo was demoted all the way, tasting delicacies from all over the country, but only when he arrived in Hangzhou did he start cooking for himself."

"Hahahahaha."

"......"

In the restaurant,

looking at the endless stream of tourists,

Li Zhien subconsciously licked the corner of her mouth.

Expectation!

With so many guests, how delicious must this dish be!

"Lin Yu Oppa, is there anything else worth recommending?"

"A dish as famous as this Xihu Vinegar Fish."

"......"

This question really stumped Lin Yu.

If you want to talk about delicious dishes, there are countless in China. But a dish on the same level as Xihu Vinegar Fish...

this category is truly a bit niche.

"Uh, if you want something that can rival Xihu Vinegar Fish, then it's only Yanjing's Douzhi and the Houttuynia cordata from Yunnan and Guizhou!"

Lin Yu held his chin and said seriously, as if in thought.

"Hahaha, Brother Yu, are you being mean? You really lack virtue in the five elements!"

"After the young lady finishes these three dishes, she will definitely cry and beg to go back to her country. This is worse than going back to eat instant noodles."

"A bowl of Douzhi in the morning, Xihu Vinegar Fish at noon, Houttuynia cordata at night—even if you die, the King of Hell will think you're dirty."

"Hahahahaha."

"......"

Not long after,

the waiter came over with a small bill.

"Sir, Madam, hello."

"The dishes have been prepared for you. Besides the Xihu Vinegar Fish you ordered earlier, we have also paired it with Dongpo Pork, Beggar's Chicken, cold asparagus, and seasonal vegetables as side dishes."

When seeing the price on it,

Li Zhien frowned slightly, a bit surprised...

"1099 for one fish?"

Although Li Zhien is not short of money,

in her impression, this is just a small street-side restaurant!

How could a fish sell for so expensive?

"Expensive has its reasons!"

"You must finish eating it later, okay?"

Lin Yu held back his laughter and said like an old god.

"Mm-hmm."

Li Zhien nodded obediently upon hearing this,

indicating that she would definitely finish it all. ===== CHAPTER 1015 =====
