Gourmet Food

In the video, the chubby livestreamer walked into the restaurant, told the waiter who greeted him that he was "alone," and was led to a corner seat.

The streamer ordered a "dry pot rabbit", a "cold rabbit", and several other signature dishes recommended by the waiter.

While waiting for the food to be served, he began to rotate the camera, "quietly" showing the audience the environment inside the restaurant.

"I heard from 'Youlong Teases Rabbits' on WeChat that their shop was closed for renovations before the Lunar New Year, and it was during that time that he started making videos online. Oh right, I also asked him about his relationship with that 'Bald Critic' who was exposed for using the same kitchen as him in his videos. He only said that he knew him, but he wouldn't say anything more about their relationship or the other person's identity. I guess there might be a story behind this!"

The host's mouth barely stopped moving as he described the scene on camera. "The overall feel is quite simple and refreshing, with a touch of Chinese style, but not the overly ornate or aristocratic kind. I guess it's due to budget constraints that they couldn't make it too fancy. But the environment looks quite nice... Hey? What's that? Isn't that a wood carving?"

The streamer seemed to have discovered something interesting. Holding his phone, which was connected to a stabilizer, he got up and walked to a quaint wooden shelf. He brought the phone camera close to a wooden carving on the shelf and exclaimed with a smile, "It's a Minion wood carving! Can you imagine? A Minion wood carving! And it looks quite well-made!"

As he spoke, he moved the camera to another shelf displaying wooden carvings, saying, "And there are quite a few Minion Wooden Carving, let me count, about... more than ten! Each one is different, interesting, I'd like to buy one too. I'll ask Lao You later where he bought it. Not only are there Minion Wooden Carving, but there's also a tiger... or maybe a cat carving? This cat has a huge head, and it's eating Ice Cream? Oh my god, this cat even has wings?"

While the host in the video was still introducing the restaurant's environment, Zhou Rui noticed that Mi Qiao's expression was getting a little impatient, so he quickly skipped to the part where the host started tasting the food.

The host picked up a piece of rabbit meat, held it in front of the phone camera to focus the lens and show it to the viewers, while describing the aroma and his own direct impressions.

After turning the camera back to his face, the anchor put the piece of dry-pot rabbit meat into his mouth and immediately let out a drawn-out "Mmm~~", making it seem like he was about to praise the taste of the rabbit meat.

Surprisingly, the streamer suddenly froze, then slowed down his chewing speed, and then gradually sped it up again.

The video was immediately flooded with comments like "What a disaster!", as well as gloating comments such as "Did he eat sand?", "There's poop in this poison!", "Didn't you add salt?", and "This meat is still alive!"

The anchor swallowed the meat in his mouth, then picked up another piece of rabbit meat and ate it. While chewing, he said to the camera, "This taste... it's a bit indescribable... Honestly, it exceeded my expectations, it's delicious... This isn't just hype because of the 'Youlong Teases Rabbits' thing, the taste is truly unbelievably delicious. So delicious... well, it's hard to describe. You have to try it yourself to know. You really won't regret eating this, I stand by what I say..."

His tone was far less enthusiastic than before, and he even stumbled over his words, completely unlike his usual eloquent self. In the process of saying just a few words, he had already picked up several pieces of rabbit meat to eat, and then started eating other dishes. He barely spoke anymore, and stopped commenting or praising; he just kept eating.

But his eating manners, coupled with his initial words, seemed particularly convincing, sincere, and genuine.

Just from the visuals, you can feel how delicious the food he's eating is; it has a strange infectious quality that whets your appetite.

As a result, during the time he was eating, the number of comments on the screen exploded.

Zhou Rui didn't put too much in Mi Qiao's food. After watching him eat for a while, he paused the meal and said, "How is it? It looks pretty delicious, right? It's in Tongshi Town, how about we go eat there together for lunch?"

Dr. Fang, Lao Li, Ye Chong went to Star City last week on "Mr. Liang's" assignment and haven't returned yet. So today, only he, Mi Qiao, and Gao Shu are in the villa. He knows very well that Gao Shu was Mi Qiao's assistant before and would definitely prioritize Mi Qiao's opinions. So, wanting to go out for dinner is mainly to persuade Mi Qiao.

He didn't actually go to that restaurant entirely because of the streamer's recommendation. Another reason was that the restaurant mainly served "rabbit meat," which reminded him of the dream he had in the Qinling Uninhabited Zone, so he suddenly had the idea of trying rabbit meat.

It's a pity that Dr. Fang and Lao Li, who also had that dream in the team, are no longer here; otherwise, perhaps they would have shared a similar experience?

Mi Qiao glanced at Zhou Rui's expression and nodded, saying, "Then let's go to Tongshi Town for lunch." She then asked Gao Shu, who was sitting not far away, "Old Gao, is it alright to go to Tongshi Town for lunch?"

Gao Shu nodded.

Actually, Mi Qiao didn't really want to go out to eat. Even though she thought the food at the Tongshi Town Rabbit Meat Restaurant should be pretty good, she still didn't really want to travel that far for a meal. However, seeing Zhou Rui's enthusiastic recommendation, and considering team harmony, she agreed. She didn't want to make Zhou Rui uncomfortable over something as small as a meal, since Zhou Rui was the only "technician" among the three of them when Dr. Fang wasn't around.

However, a few hours later, when Mi Qiao tasted the dry-pot rabbit meat she had seen in the video at "Youlong Restaurant," her opinion completely changed.

After chewing the rabbit meat a few times, Mi Qiao instantly understood why the streamer had that change in expression when eating rabbit meat in the video she had watched earlier.

It's absolutely delicious! And the more you eat, the more fragrant and delicious it becomes, leaving a refreshing and mouthwatering sensation.

She hadn't felt this way in so many years. When was the last time she'd eaten something so delicious? She couldn't seem to remember.

Not only her, but Zhou Rui and Gao Shu also felt the same way. Almost all the dishes they ordered were eaten, and they even ordered two more dishes when they were halfway through their meal.

So in the end, all three of them were a little stuffed. After finishing their meal, they rested for another ten minutes or so, chatted for a while, and then got up to leave.

Zhou Rui was very satisfied with his meal, left the restaurant in a good mood and suggested that they take a stroll along the pedestrian street where "Youlong Restaurant" was located and get some drinks to take home.

While strolling along the pedestrian street, Zhou Rui's gaze casually swept across the area and he noticed a winged ant on the back of a wooden bench for tourists to rest on.

The recent continuous rain has created ideal weather and conditions for termites or ants to reproduce and nuptial. Therefore, Zhou Rui was not surprised to see these winged flying ants.

However, he already had a great interest in ants and even kept them as pets, so he took a closer look and subconsciously recalled the information he had about ant species in the northern mountainous areas of Haixi Province.

Then he slowly stopped, stood by the bench, and leaned down to observe it carefully.

On the one hand, he felt that it was a bit early for the ants in Haixi Province to start mating flights now; on the other hand, he noticed that the winged ant seemed somewhat special.
