I Have a Countryside Gourmet Restaurant

Chapter 364: Chapter 334: The Best Wine in the World? Does It Have to Be This Exaggerated?

Lin Dequan, Tang Ning, and the others were still confused.

But since the man had just said they would find the answer after a single meal, they decided to go in and eat.

After all, they had come for a meal in the first place.

So, after thanking Lu Xiangyun, the group walked into the restaurant.

Lu Xiangyun watched them go, a smile spreading across his face.

Someone next to him said, ”Another group of first-timers. We’ll get to see their shocked and disbelieving faces in a bit.”

Lu Xiangyun nodded. ”Definitely. That’s my favorite part.”

The person beside him chuckled. ”Mine too.”

”Me too,” someone else chimed in.

...

The surrounding customers all agreed.

Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, Lin Dequan, Tang Ning, and their friends finally found a place to sit.

It hadn’t been easy.

The place was packed with customers.

Da Bai came over to take their order.

They had seen Da Bai and Xiaohai during their first visit and had been amazed by them for quite a while.

Now, being served by Da Bai, it felt even more novel and incredible.

But that wasn’t the main point right now.

The focus was on ordering. Looking at the menu, they saw a rather rich selection of dishes.

After a brief discussion, they ordered three pounds of spicy crayfish, along with one portion each of garlic-shoot twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, stir-fried shredded potatoes, Chopped Pepper Fish Head, steamed sea bass, and a tomato and egg soup.

While waiting for their food, the group found themselves glancing, intentionally or not, at the dishes on the surrounding tables.

The more they looked, the more amazed they became.

The presentation of these dishes was top-notch! They looked absolutely delicious. Combined with the various aromas wafting from all directions, it was enough to make their mouths water.

The chef at this restaurant must be highly skilled.

’Wait... the young owner said he was a chef. Could it be that he made all these dishes himself?’

’Are his skills really that incredible? You’d never guess just by looking at him!’

Just as they were pondering this in disbelief, the spicy crayfish arrived.

One look told them the presentation was, again, superb. It made them desperately want to dig in.

So what were they waiting for?

They started eating.

Each of them eagerly picked up a crayfish.

Soon, expressions of pure surprise and utter disbelief appeared on every one of their faces.

While they didn’t eat crayfish all the time, they had certainly had it many, many times before.

And every time, they had thought it was delicious.

But now, all they could think was that the crayfish they’d had before was countless levels below this one. There was simply no comparison.

This was an incomparably wonderful flavor.

’So crayfish can be this delicious! It’s something we never could have imagined.’

They were more thrilled and excited than ever before. At the same time, they were finally beginning to understand why people from Wenxian Town, Changxi County Town, and even the Xingshui City District would make a special trip just to eat here.

They had previously thought, ’Even if the food here is good, it couldn’t be so amazing as to cause such a fuss, right?’

Now they knew. There was a level of ”delicious” that was more than enough to warrant such an exaggeration.

They were ecstatic.

’So the young owner’s cooking skills have reached such an unbelievable level!’

’Could he be one of those legendary Special Chefs?’

They had heard that the number of Special Chefs in the entire country could be counted on two hands.

Every Special Chef held an extremely high status.

’But could a Special Chef really be this young?’

’Probably not, right?’

’But if he isn’t a Special Chef, how could he make crayfish taste so incredible?’

The more they thought about it, the more mysterious the young owner seemed.

Just then, a customer at a nearby table spoke up, ”Is this your first time eating here?”

Lin Dequan, Tang Ning, and the others all turned to look at the speaker.

Lin Dequan replied, ”Yes, it’s our first time.”

The customer at the next table continued, ”Then why aren’t you drinking? If you never drink, that’s one thing. But if you do, you’d be missing out if you didn’t try the wine here. This place has the finest wine in the world.”

’The finest wine in the world?’

Lin Dequan, Tang Ning, and everyone else stared with wide-eyed disbelief once again.

’Can you not be so dramatic?’

’What kind of wine would dare call itself the finest in the world?’

The neighboring customer smiled and added, ”You’ll know if it’s the world’s finest after you try it. I just wanted to let you know how amazing the wine here is, so you wouldn’t miss out. Whether you drink it or not is up to you.”

Lin Dequan thanked the neighboring customer. Then he turned to Tang Ning and the others. ”Liu Yu and I are driving, so we definitely can’t drink. If you guys want to have some, go ahead.”

There were three women in the group, including Tang Ning. They all said they wouldn’t be drinking. They didn’t drink baijiu. They might have a little beer, but baijiu was out of the question.

Besides Lin Dequan and Liu Yu, there were three other men.

The three men looked at each other. ”Should we have a little?”

Soon, the three of them reached an agreement: they would have a little.

They wanted to see for themselves just what kind of wine could be called the finest in the world by the customer at the next table.

So they called Xiaohai over and asked about getting some wine.

Xiaohai explained that the wine was twenty yuan per liang, could only be consumed in the restaurant, and couldn’t be taken away.

Twenty yuan per liang was very expensive.

However, if it could be called the finest wine in the world, it must be a good wine, no matter what.

And if it was a good wine, then twenty yuan per liang wasn’t expensive at all.

In that case, they’d have three one-liang portions.

They mainly just wanted to taste it, so one liang each would be enough.

Xiaohai acknowledged their order, walked over to the wine jar, and ladled out three one-liang servings of wine.

He brought the wine to the three men who had ordered it.
