Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 403 - 393: You Might Easily Step on a Landmine!
Rewind time a little, back to 2 PM in the afternoon.
Liulong Lake Wetland Park.
The lake water twists and turns around small, charming green islands, covered with lush trees, flocks of egrets, green grass like a carpet, colorful flowerbeds, and wooden buildings with an ancient charm...
Serpentine paths and 15 scenic bridges connect each miniature island.
Grand yet not lacking in elegance.
Yang Luyi led the photographer down the path, crossing a bridge every now and then.
The stone arch bridges are full of the charm of Jiangnan’s water villages, while the wooden bridges are rustic and graceful, with arch bridges curving beautifully like rainbows in the sky.
Standing on any bridge, they were dazzled...
The shimmering water surface reflected the green trees on the shore and the towering buildings along the Liulong Lake, making it look like the lake was also a gathering place for luxury homes.
The two walked into the Qing dynasty Hui-style Tingyu Pavilion, an ancient mansion filled with a sense of culture and history.
The exquisite carvings depicted bustling scenes of traffic and drum-beating, with lifelike Six Dragons Plaque, vivid Six Lions Plaque, and lifelike figures...
The intricate and beautiful wood carvings left one speechless!
They couldn’t help but wonder: What kind of grand family owned such a noble and magnificent mansion? Those who love antique culture must go in and take a look! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Exactly!
Yang Luyi brought the photographer along, running over to Liulong Lake Wetland Park to take photos.
She planned to finish the most important part of the travel guide first.
Out-of-town tourists come here just to have a good time.
Although most scenic areas nowadays are overly modernized.
But it’s rare to have a long holiday, so naturally, everyone’s thinking of taking a trip out of town.
Relaxing while also experiencing the unique cultural atmosphere outside.
The two of them gained a lot from their tour.
They were very satisfied with the photos taken during the shoot.
Leaving Liulong Lake Wetland Park, photographer Liu Zishan rubbed her stomach, furrowed her brows slightly, and said, "After walking so much, my stomach’s growling, Lu, you must treat me tonight~"
"Okay, okay, I’ll treat."
Yang Luyi nodded in agreement, then smiled and said, "You pick the place first, then just bring your appetite and eat to your heart’s content."
"Hmm~"
Liu Zishan thought for a moment and laughed, saying, "Why don’t we head to Zhongxing Road first and see what delicious food there is!"
Not being too enthusiastic about food, Yang Luyi had no objections and nodded, saying, "Alright, I have no problem with that, it’s up to you."
The two of them got into the car together.
They drove to nearby Central Road.
After parking the car, they got out and started window-shopping.
Passing by a clothing store, they both went inside out of curiosity, checking out the various clothes.
If they saw something they liked, they would try it on in the fitting room.
If satisfied, they asked the salesperson to pack it up and they would purchase it.
Passing by an accessory store, it was the same; they would go in and browse.
Seeing favorite accessories, they would pick them up to try on.
And then it got out of hand...
When they left, their hands were full of accessory bags.
Yes, as long as they set their eyes on something they liked, they would buy it all.
Ah!
It’s undeniable that a girl’s desire to shop is truly a bottomless pit!
Unknowingly, they spent quite a bit of money again.
As they shopped and shopped, they found themselves tired, and their stomachs started to sing the "song of hunger."
Only then did they remember the real purpose of coming here.
Feeling the hunger from her stomach, Liu Zishan said to Yang Luyi beside her, "Luyi, I’m really hungry, too hungry to move... Why don’t we find a place to eat first!"
"I’m really hungry too, so let’s find a place to eat first!"
Yang Luyi agreed, as her eyes lit up, seemingly recalling something: "Oh, right, wait a moment."
After saying this, she picked up her phone, swiped the screen, opened WeChat, found Liu Qianqian’s profile picture and opened the chat history, wanting to see if any of the food Liu Qianqian recommended was nearby.
If there was, she could just go and have a taste.
There were indeed some!
But the recommended food was mostly snacks.
And right now she just wanted a meal, not snacks.
After searching for a while, she eventually decided to give up.
Walking and looking at her phone, she almost lost her footing and fell to the ground, but fortunately Liu Zishan by her side caught her in time.
Liu Zishan asked with concern, "Lu, are you okay?"
"I’m fine, just got too focused on my phone. I was trying to check the food recommendations my friend sent me, to see what’s good around here, but after looking, the famous ones here are mainly just snacks."
Yang Luyi smiled and waved her hand to indicate she was okay, then asked, "Zishan, do you have any restaurant recommendations around here?"
"Lu, you’re a native Wenling person and you don’t know, how could I, an outsider, know!"
Liu Zishan looked troubled, "How about this, we keep walking, and if we see a restaurant that looks nice, we go in and eat, how about that?"
This idea is a bit risky!
There’s a good chance of hitting a bad one!
But for now, that’s all they could do!
Yang Luyi, who wasn’t too picky about food, could accept anything as long as it wasn’t disastrously bad.
She nodded in agreement, "Alright! Let’s do it your way!"
They had just walked a few steps!
And saw that many shops in the nearby street were starting to close.
What’s going on?
It’s only 4 o’clock, and they’re closing up shop?
As the two of them wondered, some shop owners’ voices reached their ears:
"It’s getting late, we better close up quickly, if we’re late, we won’t get to eat at the Delicious Restaurant!"
"If it weren’t for customers buying things just now, I would’ve closed early to line up at the Delicious Restaurant! Maybe then I’d have a chance to try the new Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, but going now, there’s no hope for that new dish."
"For us business folks, getting a hot meal at the Delicious Restaurant is already pretty good, we can’t expect the new dishes! After all, you can’t have your cake and eat it too! We need to make money so we can eat Boss Huang’s food."
"Delicious Restaurant..."
At the mention of "Delicious Restaurant", Yang Luyi couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly, muttering subconsciously, "This name sounds so familiar!"
She thought for a moment, then picked up her phone again.
She quickly realized why the name was so familiar to her.
It was the restaurant Liu Qianqian recommended to her.
Is it a duplicate name?
Or are they talking about that very restaurant?
Curious, she caught a shop owner to ask, "Hey, madam, the Delicious Restaurant you were talking about, where is it?"
Coincidentally, this shop owner was a regular at the Delicious Restaurant, and a chatty, warm-hearted person, so when asked about this gem of a restaurant, she naturally shared happily, "It’s on West City Old Street!"
"Let me tell you, I basically have dinner there almost every day now, not only do I love the food, but all the merchants around here do too, even our family members like it. If we don’t have a meal there in a day, it feels like a cat scratching inside us."
They also got hooked on the Delicious Restaurant at the food festival, and have been loyal ever since.
After hearing this, Yang Luyi became more interested, though she wondered if people’s words were a bit exaggerated.
Foodie Liu Zishan got interested in an instant, she curiously asked, "Sounds like the restaurant’s food is really good, but West City Old Street is a bit far! Why would you go all the way there to eat?"
"Honestly, I didn’t know at first either, but later our Wenling City hosted a food festival! Then my friends ate at this restaurant’s booth there and said it was really delicious. I happened to pass by the food festival and bought some to take home, almost had it all snatched by my family. My husband and child tried it and said it was super delicious, so we started going there often for dinner, even though it’s a bit far, such delicious food is worth the time..."
The shop owner gushed all this out with a smile.
Until she was urged by other shop owners, she quickly said her goodbyes to them and hurried to her car.
Yang Luyi thought of the shop owner’s eyes when she said these words, full of brilliance.
Though without any flowery language, after hearing the shop owner describe the taste of the food, her mouth had started to water.
And beside her, Liu Zishan’s craving was even more evident.
She grabbed Yang Luyi’s arm and said, "Lu, it sounds so good, why don’t we head over there to eat as well!"
"Sure, let’s head over now to eat!"
