Chapter 1864: It

~8 min read 1,523 words

Seeing Ye Chen's invitation, Fei Kexin had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk toward the private room door.

At this time, Ye Chen looked at Luo Jiacheng and invited him enthusiastically, "Brother Driver, why don't you come in and eat something? There are no outsiders here!"

Luo Jiacheng shook his head and said politely, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ye, but as a driver, it's better for me to wait outside."

Ye Chen took the opportunity to step down and nodded, saying, "Since that's the case, then I won't be a good host."

Luo Jiacheng hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, you are too polite!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and entered the private room with Fei Kexin.

Calling it a private room, it was actually just an ordinary brick house.

The room wasn't large, and it was relatively empty, just built with a square earthen stove against the wall facing the door.

The stove was burning with wood, and the fire was burning very vigorously, so that the large iron pot on top, although covered with a wooden lid, was constantly emitting water vapor from around the lid.

The whole room was filled with a rich aroma of meat.

For some reason, as soon as Fei Kexin smelled this strong, spicy aroma of meat, her mouth began to uncontrollably secrete saliva.

She took a small bottle of mineral water from her bag, took a light sip to cover her embarrassment, and also wondered in her heart: "This goose meat smells really too fragrant, but will the food made in this kind of place really be delicious?"

Amidst her doubts, Ye Chen pointed to one of the chairs and said to Fei Kexin, "Miss Zhan, please sit! I don't know if the food here suits your taste. I originally wanted to find a more high-end Western restaurant, but I heard people say that French food is the Rolls-Royce of Western food, so I guessed that a Chinese-American like you who grew up in France would find the Western food in a place like our Jin Ling tasteless. So I simply brought you to taste the local specialties. I hope you don't mind. If it doesn't suit your taste, just tell me, and we can still go to the city to change to another restaurant."

Ye Chen's random nonsense made Fei Kexin feel a bit moved in her heart.

She thought Ye Chen was really so thoughtful, but she didn't know that Ye Chen was just talking nonsense; he hadn't studied which Western restaurant in Jin Ling was delicious at all, and he hadn't prepared to take Fei Kexin to any Western restaurant.

Fei Kexin didn't expect Ye Chen to be just putting on a show. Moved, she smiled slightly and said politely, "Mr. Ye is too polite. I actually really want to taste the local specialties I haven't tasted before."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "That's perfect, this is the local specialty of the country."

As he spoke, he reached out and lifted the lid. As a large mass of water vapor rolled up to the ceiling, a richer aroma of meat rushed toward them.

Fei Kexin also saw clearly what was boiling in the pot: it was a pot of goose meat that had already been colored with sauce and was constantly rolling, and besides that, there were some thick pork belly with fat and lean meat.

Fei Kexin, who grew up in the United States, rarely ate pork. The two kinds of meat she ate most often were beef and chicken, and she only ate chicken breast with low calories. The only pork she encountered in her life was processed bacon, so she had almost no good impression of this kind of greasy pork belly.

However, when she saw that large piece of pork rolling in the pot, she actually wanted to taste what this pork would taste like.

Seeing her somewhat sluggish, Ye Chen picked up a piece of goose meat for her, placed it on the plate in front of her, and said with a smile, "I was afraid that a lady like you would worry about your image when eating goose meat, so I specifically asked the chef to chop the meat into small pieces. You try the taste first."

As he spoke, Ye Chen hurriedly explained, "Oh right, I haven't used these chopsticks yet, don't mind."

"No, no," Fei Kexin shook her head repeatedly. Seeing Ye Chen so actively picking food for her, she couldn't help but feel a bit of a young girl's shyness in her heart.

Ye Chen then picked up a piece of pork belly, placed it on her plate, and said, "Goose stewed with pork belly is delicious, and the pork belly itself is even better. You try it too."

"Besides, the dried beans stewed inside are also a must. You definitely can't eat this kind of vegetable in France!"

Seeing her small plate piled up with food by Ye Chen, Fei Kexin felt both shy and moved. She rarely ate alone with a boy, so this feeling of being considerately taken care of by the opposite sex was the first time.

Therefore, she nodded shyly and said, "Mr. Ye, don't always pick food for me. You haven't eaten a single bite yourself yet..."

Ye Chen said with a smile, "No rush, no rush. I just feel that if I use these chopsticks, I won't be able to pick food for you anymore!"

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of goose meat with skin for her and said, "Actually, eating goose is eating this meat with skin, it's the most fragrant. Try it quickly!"

Fei Kexin nodded hurriedly, carefully placed the piece of meat by her mouth, blew on it gently, and carefully tested the temperature with her thin lips before putting it into her mouth and chewing gently.

Once she tasted it, Fei Kexin's eyes widened. She felt that kind of rich aroma filling her mouth and taste buds. This aroma stewed for a long time in an iron pot over firewood was something she had never tasted in the United States, and it immediately amazed her.

Subsequently, she couldn't wait to try the pork belly Ye Chen picked for her. This feeling of melting in the mouth and being greasy but not fatty overturned her understanding of pork.

However, what surprised her most was the inconspicuous dried beans in the pot.

Because she really couldn't imagine why the originally crispy beans would become this kind of texture that was very soft but very chewy, and it was so delicious that she wanted to cry.

Ye Chen didn't expect that this woman who returned from abroad would have such an outstanding fighting power when eating iron pot stewed goose, so he hurriedly called the chef to stick a circle of corn cakes in the pot with corn flour.

Unexpectedly, it was this kind of simple coarse grain cake that refreshed Fei Kexin's understanding again, making her praise it endlessly.

Ye Chen was enthusiastically arranging for Fei Kexin to eat while looking at the time. It was already 7:30 in the evening. Although there were curtains inside, one could see that the sky outside had already darkened.

Ye Chen felt that now was about the best time to take action against the six-star martial artist in the courtyard.

He planned to leave the private room with the excuse of going to the bathroom, go directly to the courtyard, control the six-star martial artist with the fastest speed, and then let Master Hong Wu take him away directly in the car.

Therefore, he sent a text message to Master Hong Wu, asking him to drive over now.

Master Hong Wu was waiting on the side of the road two kilometers away with two subordinates.

Receiving Ye Chen's text message, he immediately instructed the subordinate in the driver's seat, "Drive, let's go over now!"

The subordinate immediately shifted gears and drove the car out.

Just when Ye Chen intended to find an excuse to go out, his mobile phone suddenly received a call from Wan Pojun.

At this moment, Ye Chen frowned slightly, thinking to himself that Wan Pojun's intelligence network must have had news.

Therefore, he directly picked up the phone and said to Fei Kexin naturally, "Miss Zhan, I'm going out to take a call."

Fei Kexin didn't suspect anything and nodded, saying, "Mr. Ye, please feel free."

Ye Chen took his phone and went out to the courtyard.

At this time, Fei Kexin's driver and bodyguard, Luo Jiacheng, was still standing by the Cadillac car door, motionless.

Ye Chen glanced at Luo Jiacheng. He knew very clearly that with Luo Jiacheng's status as a six-star martial artist, as long as he answered the phone, Luo Jiacheng would definitely be able to hear Wan Pojun's voice and the content of what he said.

However, Ye Chen still nodded to Luo Jiacheng very calmly, then directly pressed the answer button and said lightly, "Hello, Pojun, is there any result on the matter I asked you to check?" ===== CHAPTER 1865 =====
