"I see it's getting late. Where should we go for lunch?"
Lin Hui looked at his watch and found that it was almost 12 noon.
"I see it's getting late. Where should we go for lunch?"
Lin Hui looked at his watch and found that it was almost 12 noon.
It was the first time for him and Jianhua to come here, and they were not familiar with the situation here at all.
But compared to Zhang Hao and Li Zibai, they must be familiar with each other.
Then of course you know where the canteen is.
"Canteen? Are you kidding? It's your first day here, and we are still chatting so speculatively. How can we bear to let you two go to the canteen to eat, right Zhang Hao?"
"Yes, let's take you two to eat outside!" Zhang Hao also agreed.
"There is a shop outside that we have a very good relationship with, and the food is quite delicious!" Li Zibai said to Lin Hui and Jianhua.
At the same time, the two of them don't like eating here. After all, they are tired of eating in the cafeteria.
They also want to go out and taste delicious food.
"Can it actually be used as an outside restaurant to eat?"
Lin Hui asked curiously.
"Let's go, let's stop dawdling!"
Li Zibai took Lin Hui and Jianhua's arms and ran outside.
And Zhang Haozhuo followed behind them.
This time, Li Zibai and Zhang Hao did not choose a place like the food stall where their police officers often ate.
Because they don’t want people to recognize them!
They chose a very humble little restaurant.
This restaurant is located on a street in a very quiet environment where you will not be disturbed or noticed by others.
The name of this restaurant is 'Swan Bay'.
Swan Bay is located in the center of the city, covering an area of about fifty acres.
This restaurant is one of the national chain restaurants.
There are many dishes, each with its own characteristics and unique taste, and is very popular in the urban area.
Li Zibai, Zhang Hao, Lin Hui, and Jianhua walked to the front of the store and felt a tangy fragrance entering their nostrils.
Although the name of the store looks simple, the decoration is actually very elegant.
A simple and exquisite wooden staircase leads to the second floor. The entire wooden staircase is covered with bluestone slabs.
Next to the staircase is an arch carved with flowers, flanked by two jade statues.
A string of red lanterns hangs at the door.
The house number is a red heart, with several gilded characters "Swan Bay" written on the red heart.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful here!”
Lin Hui couldn't help but exclaimed that he had never seen such a beautiful restaurant. The decoration here completely subverted everything he had seen before.
"This is one of the best restaurants in Swan Bay. If we are later, I'm afraid there won't be anywhere to sit!"
Zhang Hao explained with a smile.
"I think it's okay. As long as it's not too far away, I can sit there. There shouldn't be anyone here, right?"
Jianhua also said with a smile.
Li Zibai smiled and said, "The owner of this restaurant is my master!"
Li Zibai spoke softly, as if he was chatting with his lover.
"Oh, so the owner of this restaurant is your master! So aren't you older than us?"
Jianhua looked at Li Zibai in surprise.
Li Zibai was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I am indeed a little older than you, but my master is more powerful than me!"
"Oh that's right."
Jianhua scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Let's go in quickly! I'm already hungry!"
Lin Hui patted his belly and said.
He hadn't eaten since last night and it was still empty.
Lin Hui's words made the three of them burst into laughter.
"Let's go in!"
Zhang Hao, Li Zibai, and Jianhua walked into "Swan Bay" side by side.
As soon as I walked in, a wave of heat hit me.
"Wow! It's so hot!"
Lin Hui couldn't help but cover his mouth, feeling a little uncomfortable.
The temperature here is too high.
"Let's go to the box quickly!"
Li Zibai said.
"Um!"
Several people came to a private room upstairs.
The private room is very large and has all the facilities inside. There is not even a TV, just a sofa and a coffee table. Next to the coffee table is a small bar.
As soon as Lin Hui and others sat down, a waitress wearing a cheongsam came in carrying dishes.
She placed the dishes on the coffee table, then bowed to the four of them: "Welcome! Excuse me, what do you want to order?"
"Just give us two portions of beef scrambled eggs and two bowls of rice!"
Li Zibai said.
"Okay, wait a moment!"
The waiter smiled and exited the box.
At this time, Lin Hui's eyes were attracted by the paintings hanging on the wall.
That painting is of a lifelike big bird.
The bird's wings are spread out and are six or seven meters long.
Its feathers are black, its eyes are green, and the feather crown on its head is inlaid with crystal stones that sparkle with purple light.
Moreover, there is a faint halo around its body, giving it a mysterious aura.
This bird is a mythical beast.
Divine beasts are quite rare.
"How's it going? Doesn't it look pretty?"
Li Zibai looked at Lin Hui and the others' amazed expressions and couldn't help but feel proud.
"It's pretty, but is this bird a little too big?"
Jianhua asked, pointing to the paintings on the wall.
"It's a bit big, but that's because the bird is naturally bigger, so it's more in line with the identity of a mythical beast!"
Li Zibai looked proud.
"It turns out this bird is really a mythical beast!"
Lin Hui looked amazed.
Jianhua and Zhang Hao also looked surprised.
"What grade is that bird?"
Jianhua continued to ask.
"Its quality"
Li Zibai touched his chin pretending to be profound, then looked at them and said, "Is it the legendary ninth-level holy beast?"
"What? The legendary ninth-level holy beast?"
Upon hearing this, the three of them gasped at the same time!
"That's a legend!"
Li Zibai said bitterly, "Such a big bird does not exist in this world at all. You actually think it is just a legendary thing."
"But, that's right, even if the ninth-level holy beast stands there motionless, we don't dare to get close!"
Jianhua nodded.
In his eyes, this big bird is definitely many times stronger than him. Even if he uses all his strength, he is still no match for it.
"How about we not mention this?"
Lin Hui smiled bitterly and said, "Let's talk about something serious!"
“My serious business is eating!”
Li Zibai shrugged and said, "I'm starving to death!"
"Then you have to eat more, otherwise you will definitely die from exhaustion like this!"
Lin Hui joked.
"My physique is quite strong!"
Li Zibai said proudly, "Would you like to try it?"
When Lin Hui heard this, he was so frightened that he shook his head: "I still won't try it."
"Okay, let's order something we like to eat!"
Li Zibai said.
"What do you eat?"
"You order it! You are the host, we can just eat whatever we want."
Jianhua said with a smile, "We are not picky eaters either."
Lin Hui nodded, then ordered a table of dishes, and finally ordered a few bottles of wine.
“The four of us, each order a bottle of wine!”
"Will you get drunk if you drink like this?"
Zhang Hao suggested.
"You are all grown men, how can you be afraid of getting drunk? Just go to bed when you are drunk!"
Lin Hui said with a smile, "When you wake up like this, you become a big boy again!"
"Okay then, let's order a bottle of wine each!"
Zhang Hao nodded.
"Okay, let me order some dishes first!"
Li Zibai took the recipe and opened it and looked at it carefully.
"I'll have four dishes of cold shredded potatoes, one mapo tofu, one dish of duck in sauce, one dish of braised eggplant, and one soup."
Li Zibai handed the recipe to Lin Hui.
Lin Hui flipped through a few pages and then said: "Then I'll have some hot and sour potato shreds!"
"Well! Then I'll have some mapo tofu!"
Jianhua also followed suit.
"OK, all right!"
“Then I’ll have two portions of braised eggplant!”
Zhang Hao smiled. His favorite thing to eat is braised eggplant.
"Well, then I want some mapo tofu!"
"Do you also like these two dishes? That's perfect. I'll order some more steamed sea bass for you!"
Li Zibai said.
“Then let’s have another steamed sea bass!”
"Then order another soup!"
"Yes, add another bowl of egg custard."
As Li Zibai spoke, he ordered the dishes according to the names on the menu.
After the menu was handed to them, Jianhua and Zhang Hao discovered that the dishes on the menu were almost all the dishes they wanted to eat but had no money to buy.
When they saw the prices on the menu, their hearts suddenly ached.
"Then what. Is this menu a fake?"
Jianhua asked quietly.
Li Zibai smiled: "Of course this menu is fake!"
"Oh my god, you still order so many dishes?"
Jianhua exclaimed.
"Are you so poor?"
Li Zibai looked at them with a smile.
Jianhua nodded: "Yes, especially me. I still owe Lin Hui money and I haven't paid it off yet."
Jianhua scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Okay, you're all welcome, let's just eat with all your heart tonight!"
Li Zibai said with a smile.
They exchanged pleasantries and soon the food was served.
Li Zibai picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.
"Well, it tastes okay. I don't know where this dish is made. If I can eat it, I will be satisfied!"
He commented with a smile.
"Then I'll eat this!"
Jianhua took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into his mouth.
Then his eyes widened with disbelief.
Seeing this, Lin Hui also picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Like Jianhua, he was stunned.
"You also think it tastes good?"
Li Zibai asked with a smile.
Lin Hui and Jianhua nodded: "Well, it tastes very good!"
"Okay, you guys eat more. If you don't have enough, ask the waiter to come over!"
Li Zibai said with a smile.
"okay!"
Jianhua smiled heartily.
"I said, you two don't have to be so polite!"
"We are not being polite to you, but we think this dish is really delicious!"
Jianhua said with a smile.
"Haha! As long as it tastes good, eat more!"
"Well, thank you!"
Jianhua and Lin Hui laughed.
"Come on, you two should eat more!"
"Don't you know? In fact, the dishes here are all made by chefs hired from outside. The taste is pretty good!"
"I heard that the owner of this store once attended a palace banquet. That's really amazing!"
Li Zibai boasted.
"Wow, isn't that awesome?"
Lin Hui said in surprise.
Jianhua nodded: "It's indeed amazing!"
It was also his first time to eat food from this kind of place, but it was not bad, at least it was better than anything he had ever tasted!
He couldn't help feeling that if he were allowed to eat at such a high-end place, he would probably collapse.
"Then do you know how expensive the food in the palace is?"
Li Zibai said with a smile.
"Forehead"
Jianhua frowned slightly, not knowing how to answer.
Lin Hui thought for a while and said, "It should be expensive, right? After all, the things consumed in a place like this must be very expensive!"
None of them had ever been to such a high-end restaurant.
"That's not necessarily the case!"
"If you go to eat at the palace, it will definitely not be expensive."
Li Zibai said with a smile.
"Then tell me, what's going on?"
Jianhua looked at him with interest.
"I've heard people say that the food in the palace is generally not sold at a high price because it is expensive and requires a lot of effort."
"The food here is not only cheap, but also very delicious. Do you think such food will be expensive?"
Li Zibai asked with a smile.
"Is it so powerful?"
"It seems like we've made a profit."
Lin Hui said with a smile.
Jianhua nodded repeatedly.
"Yes! If you think about it, then we really have to taste it."
"But, in this case, will we have to spend more money?"
"Don't worry, all the meals here are free, and the boss here is very nice and will pack them for you to take away. You will never be charged any fees."
"Then let's eat with open stomachs!"
Li Zibai said with a smile.
"Yeah, let's eat and drink as much as we want tonight."
Jianhua also laughed.
Lin Hui smiled and said, "I haven't had such delicious food for a long time. I really miss it!"
The three of them laughed.
Soon, the dishes were served.
Lin Hui and Jianhua both stuffed food into their mouths.
Lin Hui didn't care about his image. While eating, he praised: "These dishes are indeed very good."
"Yes, I feel this is more delicious than any delicacy I have ever tasted. I can guarantee that these dishes are definitely made by the top chefs in the country. The taste of these dishes is so fresh!"
Jianhua said while eating.
"Yeah, yes, the taste of these dishes is very unique, definitely not something ordinary cooks can make!"
"I feel very good too. I want to learn to cook!"
Lin Hui said.
Li Zibai looked at the two of them eating, shook his head, and sighed.
These two children are so easy to be satisfied. They are so satisfied after just one meal.
