I Have a Countryside Gourmet Restaurant

Chapter 367: Chapter 335: There Are 2 Prettier Ones

Lu Xiangyun said, ”I’m not necessarily stronger than you. It was mainly because I had the advantage of the Player 1 side. How about we switch sides and play another round?”

”Alright, one more round.” Du Fei, of course, wouldn’t refuse.

All the customers brightened up. The two were going to play another round—this was fantastic. They hadn’t gotten their fill from the last match at all.

After Lu Xiangyun and Du Fei switched sides, they selected their characters and began the second match.

This match was just as spectacular.

And in the end, Lu Xiangyun still won by a narrow margin.

However, the two immediately played a third match.

This time, Du Fei won.

In the end, the two played six matches in a row. The result was three wins each, a perfect tie.

It seemed their skills were indeed on par with each other.

Bursts of applause erupted from the crowd. If that young man named Du Fei had participated in the last tournament, he might have won the championship.

He was incredible!

The owner’s place had another King of Fighters ’97 expert.

Lin Dequan, Liu Yu, and the others were quite excited. Even though Du Fei was only evenly matched with his opponent, that opponent was the runner-up from the last tournament.

This meant that if Du Fei were to compete in the next tournament, he could genuinely challenge for the championship.

The patron at the next table had said earlier that Lu Xiangyun’s skill wasn’t significantly inferior to the champion, Wang Ge Fei.

If Lu Xiangyun wasn’t significantly weaker, then naturally, neither was Du Fei. That meant he was qualified to challenge for the championship.

Of course, if a newcomer with skills clearly superior to Du Fei’s signed up for the next tournament, that would be a different story.

But no matter what, at least now there was hope.

That alone was enough to be excited about.

As for themselves, they wouldn’t make the cut. There was a clear gap between their skills and Du Fei’s. They probably wouldn’t even have a good chance of making the top ten.

Still, if time permitted, they would definitely sign up too.

It’s the taking part that counts, after all.

Lu Xiangyun and Du Fei themselves were both quite impressed with each other’s skills. They exchanged contact information, formally getting to know one another.

Afterward, Du Fei invited Lu Xiangyun to eat with them.

Lu Xiangyun said he had already eaten. He had originally planned to watch people play games for a while before heading back.

But Du Fei insisted, saying if he had already eaten, then he could have a drink. He said the owner’s wine was the best in the world. Since they had found a kindred spirit in each other today, they had to have a drink no matter what.

Lin Dequan, Liu Yu, and the others also extended a warm invitation.

In the end, Lu Xiangyun found their warm invitation hard to refuse and graciously accepted.

Du Fei, Lin Dequan, Liu Yu, and the others laughed heartily, overjoyed.

Tang Ning and the other girls were, of course, also very welcoming to Lu Xiangyun.

Although they didn’t understand the game King of Fighters ’97, they had still watched the recent matches with great interest.

Du Fei, Lin Dequan, Liu Yu, and the others ushered Lu Xiangyun back into the restaurant and to their table.

The patrons from the next table and the other customers who had stepped outside earlier also returned to their seats, discussing the matches among themselves.

They resumed their meals.

Li You also returned to the kitchen. ’To think there was such a skilled King of Fighters ’97 expert among that group from this morning,’ he thought. ’He can actually go toe-to-toe with Lu Xiangyun. Pretty damn amazing.’

After ushering Lu Xiangyun to a seat, Du Fei, Lin Dequan, and Liu Yu called Xiaohai over and said they wanted another bowl of wine.

This time, they ordered a full bowl—a double portion.

The wine arrived quickly.

Everyone was in high spirits as they drank wine and ate crayfish.

Tang Ning and the other two girls also took their first sip of the wine.

They had ordered the wine earlier but hadn’t had a chance to drink it before going out to watch the matches.

Now, they had finally taken their first sip.

That one sip was enough to make them fall completely under its spell. It was unbelievably delicious, far beyond their imagination. No wonder Master Guyi had said it was something that should only exist in the heavens.

It felt like this wine was truly like the Jade Dew of the heavens.

Before, they had no concept of what the heavenly Jade Dew would be like, what kind of taste it would have.

But now, perhaps they did. It was the taste of the wine right here.

’In the future, if anyone says they want to taste the legendary Jade Dew of the heavens, I’ll just tell them to come here,’ they thought. ’They’re guaranteed not to be disappointed.’

The more the three girls thought about it, the more delighted they became.

They didn’t used to drink spirits. But now, that was about to change.

The spirits here, they would drink.

In fact, they would crave it. It looked like they were going to become regulars here from now on.

At this moment, dishes like Garlic Sprout Twice-Cooked Pork, Mapo Tofu, Stir-fried Shredded Potatoes, Chopped Pepper Fish Head, Steamed Perch, and Tomato and Egg Soup were also brought out one by one.

With every dish that arrived, Du Fei, Lin Dequan, Tang Ning, and the others grew even more excited.

Because the flavor of every single dish was unparalleled; they were all supreme delicacies the likes of which they had never eaten, or even imagined, before.

By this point, Du Fei, Lin Dequan, Tang Ning, and the others completely understood why people from Wenxian Town, Changxi County Town, and even the Xingshui City District would travel such long distances to eat here.

This was an unbelievable restaurant.

”By the way, Brother Xiangyun, did Boss Li You make all these dishes himself?” Lin Dequan asked.

They had learned Li You’s name by now.

Lu Xiangyun nodded. ”Indeed. Boss Li You made them all.”

Although Lin Dequan, Du Fei, Tang Ning, and the others had guessed the answer, they still found it incredible.

Du Fei said, ”Is Boss Li You a Special Chef? His culinary skills are simply divine!”

Lu Xiangyun shook his head. ”Boss Li You isn’t a Special Chef. But that’s only because he hasn’t bothered to get certified. Besides, we believe his culinary skills are even better than a Special Chef’s. At least, when it comes to the dishes the restaurant currently serves, he’s a cut above.”
