Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1267 - 624 Second-hand Goods_3

Yan Fei nodded his head, "That’s even better, thank you for the trouble!"

The landlady said repeatedly, "No trouble at all, you’ve come all the way to our place, guests are always welcome!"

The dining experience turned out to be quite cheerful, with Miss Xu Xiaoyan’s mouth never stopping – if she wasn’t eating, she was laughing.

It was hilarious, what kind of restaurant places just a little bit of food on a big platter? Especially with a big eater like Yan Fei present, they basically got a taste of whatever was being cooked in the kitchen.

Just two crabs, a pair of Crawling Shrimp, two abalones, two sea cucumbers, sea snails, razor clams, scallops... all served in pairs, with a large platter holding just two items, it looked amusingly sparse.

When almost all the other diners had left the restaurant, their table was piled high with plates, drawing stares from the remaining customers – not excluding the fact that many were probably admiring the pretty lady, pretending to look at the plates while stealing glances at her.

By the time they went to pay the bill, even the cost-conscious Miss Xu Xiaoyan felt a bit embarrassed: "We ate so many dishes, how come it’s only this little bit of money? You can’t take a loss on us, Xiao Fei, give them more."

"Our little restaurant doesn’t have pricey dishes. Charging twenty dollars is already quite a bit, so don’t be shy," the landlady insisted, showing genuine honesty. "If you both think it’s good, come back to our place next time you’re here for a meal!"

Since the lady was quite full, Yan Fei wasn’t in a rush to leave, so he took her for a stroll around the small town. It wasn’t until they wandered through the market that he realized the food they had eaten was indeed not expensive in this place – items like Crawling Shrimp and marine rainbow were as cheap as cabbages in Wancheng City.

Inland folks tend to think seafood must be expensive, but in this small town a hundred miles from the coast, many of the so-called seafood items can be cheaper than vegetables due to land conditions.

It only struck them now because their previous visits to the coast had always been with the young masters and mistresses of the Guo family, and they had never dined at really cheap places.

While strolling, the two came across a middle-aged man in a dried seafood shop who could understand their Sancha River dialect, and it turned out he was a military veteran from Wancheng.

After chatting with him for a while, they learned even more details about the local area, like how the market takes place every five days, and how an area full of apple trees is inexplicably named Peach Village, among other things.

Although knowing these details wasn’t particularly useful, it was, after all, a way to experience the local customs and culture.

Despite its beautiful name, Peach Village was not a wealthy area. It was located in the hilly regions where the fields weren’t great – production of wheat and corn didn’t even reach half of what Wancheng City produced. Only the yield of peanuts was decent.

Even though there were specialty apples here, the transportation was not convenient, especially due to the prevalence of mountain roads, making transport challenging and keeping the level of prosperity relatively low.

After purchasing some dried seafood products and saying goodbye to the veteran from Wancheng City, Miss Xu Xiaoyan commented thoughtfully, "It’s all because of you, if I had known things in small places were so cheap, we wouldn’t have just looked for big cities to have fun in."

It was the third day for the pair in this region, and the first two days had been spent in big cities. Those cities, being tourist destinations, definitely weren’t cheap when it came to selling stuff. However, their random arrival in this small town enormously satisfied the lady’s culinary desires – with Yanfei being thrifty, she wouldn’t let Yan Fei order much when things were expensive, and the variety of their two days’ meals couldn’t compare to this single meal.

Yan Fei laughed heartily, "That’s our good fortune, we just happened to meet kind people. What would you have done if we had met locals who took advantage of newcomers?"

The girl couldn’t help but glance back at the small town they had just passed, "Anyway, I think it’s quite nice here."

If that landlady knew she had captured the girl’s heart with just one meal, she would probably be proud of herself.

Seeing that Yan Fei didn’t speak, the girl took out a pear from a bag and started peeling it with a fruit knife. Yan Fei was genuinely concerned, "Can’t you not peel it in the car?" freewebnσvel.cøm

The girl didn’t even look up, "If you don’t talk and distract me, there won’t be any problems!"

Yan Fei had no choice but to drive as smoothly as possible.

After peeling it, the girl took a big bite of the pear and then stuffed the rest into his mouth, "Here, eat it, hmph!"

She grabbed another pear and continued peeling it while expressing her thoughts, "The pears here are also delicious, even tastier than the ones from our place. After eating them, there’s no residue left..."

The local pears of Sancha River are large and tasty, but towards the end, one always feels some woody residue in the mouth—local people call it the "trivial matter."

As she spoke, her wrist flew swiftly, and in no time another pear was peeled. This time, she didn’t eat it herself first but offered it to Yan Fei’s mouth, "Try this pear, it’s pretty good too, just like the Great Sweet Melons from our area."

Only by looking at the pile of pear peels on the girl’s lap in the bag did he realize that the two pears she had just peeled were not the same kind.

Yan Fei took a bite and said, "Not bad at all, this one’s juicy and sweet with no residues, and the skinned one is quite tasty too."

The girl chuckled, "This is the Granny Pear, haha, now that you’ve eaten it, you are a granny..."

The Granny Pear she mentioned is also a local specialty they bought on the trip. It’s even harder to transport, and you can’t find this fruit in Wancheng City.

Yan Fei joined in the laughter, "Yes, it’s the Granny Pear, fed to me by my wife!"

Although the girl had long grown accustomed to his nonsense, she still blushed slightly every time she heard him say such things. She glared at him as he was driving and didn’t disturb him. Instead, she bared her neat, white teeth and fiercely bit into the Granny Pear.

The two didn’t stop along the way this time, driving straight to the easternmost seaside—the girl had really overeaten at that meal, and they had also bought a lot of dried seafood products, many of which could be eaten directly, so there was no fear of her going hungry.

Yan Fei recalled the map in his memory and decided to make this his destination; there was no road further east. Less than four hundred kilometers away in a straight line was a city that is the capital of a foreign country.

After finding a motel to stay in, at nightfall, Yan Fei told the girl to sleep first while he went out for a stroll.

Before dawn the next day, Boss Yan dialed a number and said in a secretive tone, "Director Pi, I’ve bought some equipment, second-hand goods, now by the seaside. Do you want to come and check them out?"
