As If He Were Eating a Dietary Therapy Meal Worth Hundreds of Thousands!

Time passed!

More and more tourists were drawn to the resort by its promotional videos. There were now at least a hundred visitors, and ticket sales alone had brought in more than 5,000 yuan.

On top of that, most of them had bought at least some Quality 1 strawberries or watermelons.

Most people couldn't bring themselves to pay 100 yuan per jin for watermelon or 200 yuan per jin for strawberries. But they were willing to spend 10 yuan per jin on watermelon and 40 yuan per jin on ordinary strawberries.

In fact, those sold better than the ordinary watermelons and strawberries Qin Lin had bought wholesale. It was a matter of psychology for many people: when you were out having fun, you might not be able to afford the most expensive option, but surely you couldn't settle for the cheapest one, either. You had to go for something in the middle.

This was especially true of young men who brought girls along. They couldn't very well be stingy in front of them, so they usually bought some Quality 1 produce.

The resort also offered to peel and cut the watermelons, serving the pieces in large, clear cups with toothpicks for guests to spear them with.

This not only helped keep the resort clean but also made for a better experience for visitors.

And the Quality 1 watermelons and strawberries didn't disappoint. Everyone who bought them gave the taste rave reviews.

They sold 210 jin of Quality 1 strawberries and 165 jin of watermelon, bringing in 10,050 yuan.

By noon, quite a few people had decided to make their own lunch at the resort, renting stoves and barbecue grills.

Visitors had also started picking vegetables in the garden.

They sold 65 jin of Quality 1 okra at 10 yuan per jin, bringing in 975 yuan.

Naturally, quite a few people had also rented fishing rods. The rentals for the rods, stoves, and barbecue grills alone brought in another 1,600 yuan.

By the fishpond,

even the girls who hadn't been interested in fishing were now enthusiastically keeping their male companions company, hoping to see them land a catch.

That was the whole point of coming to a resort like this: enjoying the atmosphere.

Besides, all the fish in the pond were wild. The resort advertised their nutritional value as a selling point, too. The truth was, most ordinary people rarely got to eat wild fish.

Suddenly, everyone by the pond was drawn to a man in a suit. He had raised his fishing rod, and the water was churning and splashing wildly.

Everyone turned to look.

With splashes that big, how huge was the fish he'd hooked?

Chen Shengfei beamed. After fishing for so long, he'd finally hooked a big one.

Judging from the force alone, the fish had to be enormous.

The fish struggled to escape, while Chen Shengfei put all his strength into pulling on the rod. The two seemed locked in a stalemate.

Crack! The fishing rod suddenly snapped, drawing everyone's attention.

The fish had actually broken the rod.

Chen Shengfei was stunned.

Was this for real?

Luckily, he was quick enough to grab the other end of the broken rod. Even better, the fish seemed to have worn itself out, and he managed to haul it out of the water.

Everyone stared at the fish, astonished by its size.

"That fish is huge! It's gotta be over thirty jin, right?"

"It's taller than our Dou Dou!"

"And it's wild, too."

Quite a few people had taken out their phones to film Chen Shengfei wrestling with the fish. It seemed to be a common habit among visitors: who went out for fun without posting about it on their social media?

Besides, this was such a rare sight that anyone would want to share it.

Looking at the wild grass carp, Chen Shengfei felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. It looked to be at least thirty jin, and he had never caught a wild fish this big before.

That proved the waitress hadn't lied. There really were some huge wild fish in the pond.

Chen Shengfei's catch fired up the other visitors. Quite a few girls even urged their companions to try to catch one, too.

But some people were already murmuring among themselves:

"Big fish like that must cost a fortune!"

"They do. There's a sign over there. Didn't you see it?"

"A big grass carp like that costs 250 yuan per jin. The big black carp and crucian carp cost even more."

That price shocked quite a few people. At 250 yuan per jin, a fish weighing over thirty jin would cost 7,000 or 8,000 yuan!

They'd be better off catching a smaller wild fish to barbecue.

Chen Shengfei, meanwhile, was perfectly pleased as he threaded a string through the fish's gills. He'd have to pay for the broken rod, but he didn't care at all. As he carried the fish back, it still struggled in his grip. Catching such a big one made him happier than closing a major deal.

By the resort's main hall, many visitors were already busy lighting fires at the stoves and barbecue grills in the semi-open dining booths.

Chen Shengfei hadn't planned on cooking for himself. His wife was a great cook, and if she'd been there, they could have made the meal themselves. Now, he'd have to ask one of the resort's chefs to cook for him.

He walked into the hall and went straight to Gao Yaoyao.

Gao Yaoyao remembered him as their first customer. Seeing the grass carp, which weighed over thirty jin, she exclaimed, "Sir, you're really lucky. You actually caught one of the big ones!"

In a good mood, Chen Shengfei said, "Miss, would you weigh it for me and then have it cooked?"

Gao Yaoyao quickly reminded him, "Sir, the prices for the big fish are posted by the pond. They cost more than regular wild fish—250 yuan per jin. This one will cost quite a lot. Are you sure you want it cooked?"

Chen Shengfei didn't care about the price at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Have the chef cook it. And get me two jin of that 400-yuan-per-jin okra, and cut up one of those 100-yuan watermelons for me. You can choose a few other vegetables, too."

He'd already tasted the strawberries, so now he was eager to try all the expensive items on the menu.

"Of course, sir." Gao Yaoyao took down his order, then immediately wrote it up for Master Lin in the kitchen.

"You're lucky, sir." Master Lin came out and was astonished to see the grass carp Chen Shengfei had caught. Someone really had managed to land one of the big ones with one of the resort's rickety fishing rods.

That fish had to be incredibly unlucky. A flimsy rod like that should never have been able to hold its weight.

After writing up the order, Gao Yaoyao showed Chen Shengfei to a table.

A little while later, they brought him a cut-up Quality 2 watermelon.

Chen Shengfei picked up a wedge and took a bite. Then he turned to Gao Yaoyao in surprise and asked, "Miss, is this a special variety of melon?"

It tasted remarkably good, just like the strawberries—better than any he'd ever had before.

Gao Yaoyao hurriedly replied, "You guessed right, sir. Our boss says it's a special-quality melon. We only have a little over twenty a day."

"No wonder there's so little of it." Chen Shengfei nodded.

Soon, the kitchen brought out Chen Shengfei's fish and okra, along with a few other vegetables.

Master Lin said, "Sir, you won't be able to finish this whole fish in one sitting, so I've only prepared the head and a piece of belly meat for you. You can take the rest home."

"Mm." Chen Shengfei nodded. He didn't fuss over it, just picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

But before long, his eyes lit up again.

This flavor! Even dishes made by top chefs were no better than this.

Chen Shengfei was genuinely delighted.

He was a real foodie who had tried cuisines from all over China and the world. Just in terms of flavor, this fish was among the best in the world.

How could a chef at this little resort be so good?

It was astonishing.

Of course, he had no idea it was the game's attributes at work: flavor +2, texture +2.

Chen Shengfei began savoring each bite. He also polished off the 400-yuan-per-jin okra.

The okra didn't taste all that special, but as he ate, he was astonished to feel a warm sensation around his waist. A warm current seemed to flow through his body, and he felt completely at ease.

Chen Shengfei found it unbelievable. It was as if he were eating a dietary therapy meal worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
