I Have a Countryside Gourmet Restaurant

Chapter 365: Chapter 335: There Are 2 Who Are Even Prettier

The three of them stared at the wine in their bowls, utterly delighted.

They could all smell an exceptionally rich and fragrant aroma wafting from it.

’This really is good wine!’

They had to take a sip right away.

All three raised their bowls and took a drink.

Soon, looks of immense excitement spread across their faces.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Dequan asked, ”Is it really that good?”

One of the three, a man named Du Fei, replied, ”You can’t just say it’s ’good.’ It’s super, super, *super* good. Maybe... maybe it really is the best wine in the world.”

The other two nodded in vigorous agreement. They completely concurred with what Du Fei had said.

”Is it really *that* good?”

Lin Dequan and Liu Yu both found it a bit hard to believe. Although the aroma of the wine was indeed intoxicating, their reaction seemed a bit over the top, didn’t it?

Just then, the customer from the next table—the one who had suggested they try the wine—spoke up again. ”See? I wasn’t lying, was I? It really is the best wine in the world, right?”

The three of them, Du Fei included, nodded repeatedly. ”It really is the best wine in the world. Thanks for the tip earlier, brother. Otherwise, we would have missed out on such a masterpiece.”

The neighboring customer laughed and told them not to mention it.

At this point, Lin Dequan said, ”This wine might be exceptionally good, but you can’t really call it the best in the world, can you? After all, there are plenty of fine wines we’ve never tasted. Especially the ones money can’t buy. Those are wines us regular folks could never get our hands on. It’s not that we can’t afford them, but that we have no access. Of course, I probably couldn’t afford them anyway.”

The neighboring customer replied, ”You have a point. If it’s just us saying it, that doesn’t carry much weight. But what if even Master Guyi says so?”

”Master Guyi?” Lin Dequan, Du Fei, Tang Ning, and the others all cried out in disbelief. ”You mean the modern-day Painting Saint, the top figure in the Art World, *that* Master Guyi?”

”That’s the one!” said the neighboring customer.

”Master Guyi has actually been here to drink?” Lin Dequan, Du Fei, and Tang Ning couldn’t believe it.

The neighboring customer smiled faintly and added, ”He’s done more than just drink here. But let’s stick to the wine for now. Master Guyi said the wine here ’can only be found in heaven.’ If it can only be found in heaven, then it must be the best wine in the world. We all know Guyi is a connoisseur of fine wine and good food. And given Master Guyi’s status, he’s surely tasted most of the best wines out there. If he says this wine can only be found in heaven, then it must be the best in the world. There’s no doubt about it.”

Du Fei and his two friends were incredibly excited. They had actually tasted the wine Master Guyi called the best in the world. They were so lucky!

The biggest surprise and reward of their trip today wasn’t the picturesque scenery, but this restaurant.

The food and wine in this restaurant!

Tang Ning and the other two girls were also thrilled. They exchanged glances, having all come to the same decision.

They were going to order some wine to drink.

They didn’t normally drink baijiu, a little beer at most.

But this baijiu was described by Master Guyi as ’only found in heaven’—the best wine in the world. If they didn’t even try a little, it would be a complete waste of their visit.

So, the three of them called Xiaohai over and asked him to bring three one-liang servings of wine.

Lin Dequan was no longer skeptical. If Master Guyi himself had praised it so highly, then there was no room for doubt.

’Just how good is this wine, then?’ He was desperate to try it.

Liu Yu felt the same way.

But they were driving and couldn’t drink.

The divine wine that Master Guyi called ’only found in heaven’ was right in front of them, yet they couldn’t drink it.

It was sheer torture.

’Maybe we could find a designated driver?’

’Forget it, that’s not realistic. There probably aren’t any designated driver services out here. And even if there were, the fee for such a long distance would be exorbitant. We couldn’t afford it.’

’If only we could take the wine to go.’

”Brother, you really can’t take the wine to go? Not even a little?” Lin Dequan asked the customer at the next table.

The neighboring customer replied, ”Nope, not at all. Not even a drop. In all the time this place has been open, only once has someone managed to take away a jin of wine.”

”Who was it? How did they manage it?” Lin Dequan and Liu Yu both pressed for details.

The neighboring customer said, ”It was the champion of a *King of Fighters ’97* tournament the owner held not long ago, Wang Ge Fei. He took a jin of wine with him. Because a jin of wine was one of the champion’s prizes...”

The neighboring customer gave them a rough summary of the last tournament.

Lin Dequan, Du Fei, Tang Ning, and the others grew more and more amazed as they listened.

’There was a competition like that? With over 400 contestants? And more than a thousand spectators?’

’This place is way too popular!’

Lin Dequan, Du Fei, Tang Ning, and the others were increasingly convinced that this was no ordinary restaurant.

The guys—Lin Dequan, Du Fei, and Liu Yu—were particularly excited about the tournament, as they also loved playing *King of Fighters ’97*.

Du Fei asked excitedly, ”How good was the champion, Wang Ge Fei?”

The neighboring customer said, ”He was strong! Very strong! Otherwise, how could he have stood out from over 400 contestants to become the champion?”

Du Fei said, ”I mean, how strong exactly?”

The neighboring customer replied, ”How do I even put it? It’s hard to describe. Wait a minute... for you to ask like that, does that mean you’re a *King of Fighters ’97* expert too?”

Du Fei chuckled. ”I wouldn’t say I’m an expert, but I can hold my own. It’s a shame we only just found out about this place. Otherwise, I definitely would have entered.”

The neighboring customer smiled. ”It’s not too late. The owner will hold similar competitions in the future. If the prize for the next tournament champion still includes wine, you’ll be able to take some home if you win.”
