Seeing Yin Yong walk down the stairs, Zhou Lan hurriedly smiled and went up to him. She took the initiative to hug Yin Yong's arm and walked to the dining table. She said sweetly,"Big brother, did you rest well?"
Yin Yong was slightly stunned. In his life, other than his first girlfriend who had broken up with him because of a long-distance relationship, no one had hugged his arm like this. Suddenly being hugged by a natural beauty like this, a certain string in his heart could not help but flutter. He smiled and said,"Xiao Lan, I'm sorry. I originally promised to go shopping with you, but I was too sleepy in the afternoon. I fell asleep the moment I closed my eyes.”
"It's okay. I'm not used to so many people following behind me. In the future, just wait for Big Brother to have the chance to accompany me!”Zhou Lan lowered her head slightly. Her beautiful face was glowing with a rosy glow as she secretly blamed herself for being a little 'carried away' and not being reserved. She wondered if Big Brother Yin would think that she was a casual person!
Yin Yong stole a glance at Zhou Lan's tender neck. He resisted the urge to kiss her and take a whiff of her fragrance."Of course, of course. Yuechi County is still too small. There's no point in strolling around. When we get to Na Qing, I'll accompany you to stroll around!”
Zhou Lan, who had her head lowered, seemed to have sensed something. She could not help but be secretly delighted. It seemed that she was still very attractive. At the thought of this, her face shyly retreated, but she did not let go of Yin Yong's arm. As she walked to the dining table, she said,"Forget it. I'm the host in Nagqing. I'll accompany you, an honored guest, to walk around!”
"Same, same!" " I won't hide it from you," Yin Yong said with a smile." Na Qing is too unfamiliar to me. If I don't have someone to accompany me, I might get lost!"”
"Haha, then don't leave my sight when you get to Nage!”
"As long as you don't think I'm a burden…Alright, let's eat and talk. I'm really hungry after sleeping!”
A large round dining table seemed to have been specially prepared for Yin Yong and the others. The twelve of them sat in a circle.
Zhou Lan sat down next to Yin Yong and said," Big Brother, this is authentic Sichuan cuisine that I specially asked the kitchen to prepare. You've been living abroad all this time. I'm afraid it's hard for you to eat such authentic local cuisine!" It's just that Sichuan cuisine focuses on spiciness. I don't know if it suits your taste!”
Yin Yong looked at the table full of delicacies. The spicy and spicy taste was directly assaulting his nostrils. He could not help but salivate. He smiled and said,"I can eat spicy food. Although I live abroad, my mother often cooked Sichuan cuisine when she was alive. It's just that my mother has passed away for many years and I rarely eat authentic Sichuan cuisine!”
Zhou Lan secretly heaved a sigh of relief." That's good. I saw you carrying so much bread and coke with you yesterday. I was worried that you didn't like Sichuan cuisine!"”
"It's more convenient to bring food along on the journey. Otherwise, we'll often be hungry! Let me tell you secretly, I hate buttered bread the most. Rice is still better!”
Yuxiu, who was at the side, asked with her big eyes,""Young Master Yin, why is the bread and coke you brought more delicious than the ones Miss and I ate at Heaven Crystal?”
"This…is probably your psychological work!”Yin Yong thought for a moment and said," At that time, you were in a great disaster and you hadn't eaten anything for most of the day. You were already starving. Naturally, anything you eat would be more delicious!"”
"Maybe…but I ate it again this morning, and it still tasted so good!”
"Then perhaps the ones you bought before were knockoffs…" Yin Yong could only say.
Zhou Lan looked at Yin Yong curiously and asked,""Big brother, what do you mean by counterfeit goods?”
"Yes, yes. Is a counterfeit a company?”Yuxiu also looked at Yin Yong like a curious baby.
Yin Yong's face was slightly red. Almost everyone in the world knew what the term 'knockoff' meant in the future, but it was too advanced in this era. He could only say,"Counterfeit is a saying I learned abroad. It's similar to imitation! Perhaps what you guys ate in the past was a local imitation, while what I brought was a genuine 'imported' product!”
Yuxiu reacted very quickly and hurriedly said,""That's not right. There's no problem with the coke being stored for so long, but the bread will go bad in a few days. Young Master Yin, it took at least a month or two for you to return from America and then to Yuechi. Logically speaking, all the bread should have gone bad!”
Yin Yong could only continue to spout nonsense."I asked someone to specially make those breads with the technology I brought back from America, so the taste is indeed different from the ones in China…"
Zhou Lan could tell that Yin Yong seemed to be hiding something and hurriedly said,""Alright, Yuxiu, don't ask so much. Let's eat. Or are you not hungry? If that's the case, then go back to your room and rest!”
Yuxiu quickly said pitifully," Don't, Miss. My stomach is already flat, but you didn't let me steal a bite. You insisted on waiting for Young Master Yin to arrive before eating. Now that Young Master Yin has finally arrived, you still want me to go back to my room…Miss, why is there such a difference in treatment between people…Oh, I've lost weight from hunger…"
Zhou Lan stole a glance at Yin Yong, then patted Yuxiu's head and said,""Alright, alright. Since you're hungry, sit down and eat. Don't ask any more questions!”
"Oh…"
"Brother, do you want white wine or red wine?”
" Well, I don't usually drink alcohol…" Yin Yong wasn't pretending. He had never been able to drink alcohol since he was young. Usually, even a glass of beer would immediately make him drunk. Because of this, his classmates in the military academy even laughed at him. They said that he wouldn't be a good soldier even if he graduated and went down to the company. How could a soldier who didn't drink blend into the group? In fact, it was not just alcohol. He rarely smoked cigarettes. Although he always carried a pack of cigarettes with him, it was completely for show. Sometimes, he could carry a pack of cigarettes for a month until the cigarette box was broken. There was still half a pack inside.
"Then let's drink some red wine. It's not easy to get drunk with red wine!"”
"Let's have some white wine. Our table is full of Chinese delicacies with a bottle of foreign wine. It's a little nondescript.”
"I'll listen to Big Brother!" Zhou Lan smiled and took a bottle of white wine.""This is an authentic old kiln from our hometown. Big Brother, how does it taste?”As she spoke, she filled Yin Yong's glass. Then, the wine bottle was snatched away by Yuxiu. She first filled Zhou Lan's glass and then stood up to pour wine for Zhao Fei and the others. Zhao Fei hurriedly blocked the wine bottle and said apologetically,"Sorry, we can't drink!
Yin Yong waved his hand and said," It's fine. It's fine to drink a little. As long as you don't get drunk!"”
"Young Master, alcohol will numb the nerves. For the sake of Young Master's safety, we have to keep our heads clear at all times!" Zhao Fei said respectfully.”
"It's okay. You've worked hard these days. It will definitely be even harder in the future. Take this rare leisure time to relax a little!”
"Yes, Young Master!"
Yuxiu filled everyone's cups one by one. Finally, she came to He Mei's side and said,"Little Plum, do you know how to drink?”
"Yes! "Why not…" He Mei blushed and said,""Sister Yuxiu, you can call me Xiao Mei, He Mei, or Xiao He. Or you can call me a dog, but you can't call me Xiao Mei, okay? My father said that only those who have been castrated in the palace are called this!”
Yuxiu's small face turned red in an instant. She said unhappily," Little brat, don't spout nonsense…" After saying that, he poured He Mei a cup of tea and returned to his seat like a frightened rabbit.
Yin Yong raised his wine glass and said," My alcohol tolerance is very poor. If I drink too much, I'll go crazy. Therefore, I only have this one glass. I hope everyone can forgive me if I'm disrespectful." As the saying goes, since it's fate to meet, then let's drink to the fate between us!”
The wine glass used in this hotel was very small. Although it was called a glass, it was actually only the size of a thumb. The amount was less than two coins. Everyone raised their glasses and gently clinked them, drinking the wine in one gulp.
The eight Bio-Humans could not tell whether the food was good or bad. Drinking wine and drinking water tasted the same to them. They ate to not make themselves look too different, and to extract the energy from the food to maintain the normal operation of their biochemical system. The only difference between wine and water was that the energy in wine was richer.
He Mei, this young boy, was shouting that it was spicy. Yin Yong actually felt the same as him, but he did not show it because he was worried about his image! For the two people who didn't know how to drink alcohol (one of them didn't know how to drink at all), even the liquor made of industrial alcohol and the top-grade liquor that had been stored in the kiln for hundreds of years didn't taste any different. No matter how good the liquor was, it was nothing but a peony in their mouths! Among the people at the table, perhaps only Zhou Lan and Yu Xiu really knew how to taste. However, they were two girls after all, and their alcohol tolerance was very limited. Therefore, this first glass of wine was also the last glass of wine for this meal.
Having lived in Nanjing for many years, Yin Yong, who had rarely tasted Sichuan cuisine, once again tasted the taste of his hometown's dishes. He couldn't help but praise,"Delicious, delicious…"
Zhou Lan said with a smile," Eat more of what Big Brother likes to eat…Come, repay this Phantom Beef…This Chili Fat Sausage…" Seeing Yin Yong eating happily, Zhou Lan felt even happier than eating it herself. She kept putting food into Yin Yong's bowl as she introduced the dishes.
" Yin Yong saw that Zhou Lan only cared about herself, so she didn't even take a bite. She picked up a piece of salt fried meat and brought it to Zhou Lan's mouth." Xiao Lan, this Salted Fried Meat is not bad. Come, taste it…"
Zhou Lan naturally opened her mouth.
" Hmm…It tastes good…Ah…" Zhou Lan suddenly let out a soft cry. What did she do just now? She actually let a man feed her, and this pair of chopsticks was used by the other party…Wouldn't that be equivalent to kissing him in disguise? Thinking of this, Zhou Lan's face immediately turned as red as an apple.
Yin Yong also felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to do so. More importantly, he felt that there was no need for an explanation between them.
The awkwardness quickly passed. Zhou Lan picked up a piece of fish and carefully removed the bones."This is my favorite. Spicy Perfume Fish…Big Brother, please taste it…"
It was unknown if Yin Yong was deliberately causing trouble or if he felt that a person should return the favor. In any case, he directly opened his mouth and sucked Zhou Lan's chopsticks…
" Delicious, it's indeed very delicious…" Yin Yong nodded and laughed as he chewed.
Zhao Fei and the others buried their heads in their food and paid no attention to what was happening around them. He Mei looked at this scene in surprise and quickly reacted. She picked up the rice and shoved it into her mouth, as if she didn't know anything. Only Yu Xiu was so shocked that she didn't even notice that her chopsticks had fallen into a plate of Twice-cooked Pork. Zhou Lan was so embarrassed that she almost hid under the table.
Only then did Yin Yong feel that his actions were a little rash. He stuttered a few times and did not know what to say. He could only say,"Xiao Lan, this hotel is not bad. The food is very good!”
Zhou Lan rolled her eyes at Yin Yong and didn't say anything, but she helped him pick up a chicken wing.
Yuxiu, who picked up the chopsticks, smiled and said,""Young Master Yin, you're wrong. This isn't made by the chef of this small shop. It's made by seven or eight chefs who were sent out by the big shots in the county!”
"Oh, why is that?" Yin Yong asked curiously.”
"Isn't that simple? My family's eldest miss suffered grievances in Yue Chi. They were afraid that they would be implicated, so they tried their best to please my family's miss!”
"So that's how it is. In that case, we're all basking in Xiao Lan's glory!”
"Of course. You didn't see it just now. Two to three hundred people from all walks of life in the county came to see Miss, but Miss didn't even see them. They waited for more than an hour before leaving!”
Zhou Lan said," These people usually do nothing. Now that Yuechi County is leaderless and the situation is chaotic, they are needed to stabilize the situation and appease the people. However, they…"
Yin Yong shook his head and didn't say anything.
Zhou Lan continued," Big Brother, Zhong Chu came by just now. The bandits of Xiangshui Beach have been captured in one fell swoop. None of them escaped. How do you think we should deal with them?" According to Zhong Chu's investigation, the two of them are also heavily in debt. Just the gold and silver of unknown origin that were found are worth more than 100,000 yuan…"
Yin Yong smiled." I can't make the decision for this. It should be handed over to the court. I believe the court will definitely make the fairest judgment!"”
