Lin Xi consecutively ate three pickled vegetables, only then did he let go of his chopsticks, and asked with some curiosity: "Chubby Brother, what's the third thing you talked about? I don't remember there's such a thing in the Ba Chuan Cuisine."

Ang Youyong glanced at Lin Xi, and laughed: Hehe, what kind of explanation is that? Old Third is actually the one I eat the most, and also the most authentic one.

The dishes were served very quickly, and in about ten minutes, they were all prepared. The Lu Zhou that they wanted was also brought over, and Ang Youyong personally poured a cup for Lin Xi, and then raised his glass and said with sincerity even though he was big and wide open: "Brother Xi, we haven't seen each other in a few years, let's drink a little tonight."

Ang Youyong was the first to respect them, after drinking, he smacked his lips, as though he was enjoying the wine, and Lin Xi was also unwilling to accept the taste, he looked at the colorless and transparent wine in the cup, and then downed the cup. He felt that the wine was very fragrant, sweet and refreshing, gentle and harmonious, and the last bit was long and sweet, and he couldn't help but praise it: "Good wine!"

Ang Youyong poured another cup for Lin Xi and said: "Since your Brother Xi is here, how could you not be a good host? Eat some food first, while we eat, drink. These three are all our Lu Zhou's signboard.

However, he did not use his chopsticks and instead teased them, "Chubby Brother, no wonder you are stronger than before. So there are so many delicious foods, chicken and fish, and this piece of dung, how many can you eat in one meal?"

"That's right, isn't the purpose of living for a single mouth? Truth be told, I am able to eat ten pigs like this in a single meal."

Lin Xi was shocked when he heard it. Although he knew that Ang Youyong's appetite was astonishing, he never expected it to reach such a level.

Pig dung was one of the traditional names used in Lu Zhou, and with meticulous selection, fine preparation, and excellent quality, it became a unique style that had no sticky teeth, with both salt and sweet stuffing, depending on the customers' preferences, and with exquisite workmanship. Because every pig was named as a pig, its size was about the same as a normal little bun.

In other words, Ang Youyong could eat ten buns at a time, so wasn't this food shocking?

On the other hand, the Ancient Lin Spicy Chicken was a special food of the Lu Zhou and Ancient Lin County. It was a brine snack that had been developed by generations of the Ancient Lin people and was known for its freshness, fragrance, numbness, and spiciness.

Legend has it that every New Year festival, every family in Gu Lin would prepare a big chicken, which was then made with their own home's brine, dipped it in special water, and invited their family members to taste it together. Later on, they developed the strange taste of the Ancient Lin chili and the Ancient Lin Spicy Chicken, which had the reputation of "not being spicy, but just a weird pepper", and was famous for its Ba Chuan.

As for the bean curd fish, it was also a special dish unique to Ba Chuan. It was cooked with fresh fish and other seasonings like Bamboo County's bean curd, characterized by bright red juices, tender fish, rich and fragrant bean curd, spicy, slightly sour and sweet, and suitable for the wine and rice.

At that time, Lin Xi and Ang Youyong had been eating heartily. From yesterday to today, he had only eaten on the train before, and not only did he not eat well, he also ate very little. He had already protested to in his hunger, and now that he saw the delicious food on the table, how could he let it go?

Furthermore, in front of Ang Youyong, he had never understood what it meant to be reserved and embarrassed.

After a fierce and slow meal, Ang Youyong was shocked. In his memory, Lin Xi, who had a small and slow appetite, actually ate even more than him. It was as if he was the reincarnation of a hungry ghost.

….

When Lin Xi and Ang Youyong walked out of the passage with their arms around each other's shoulders, it was as if they had returned to their school-days.

At this time, the moon in the sky was already hidden behind thick clouds, and both of them were a little drunk. Although the national cellar was good, it was still white wine.

Behind them, the receptionist revealed a professional smile, "Please take care, both of you, please come again."

Ang Youyong had already called for the driver, the two of them got out of the car, and got into the car. The Volkswagen's sedan had already left, and went straight to the place Lin Xi had reserved for him, which was a 3 star hotel.

When Lin Xi returned to his room in the hotel, the alcohol had suddenly gotten to him. He was so drowsy that he couldn't tell what was going on, but after running for the past two days, he had long been exhausted.

When he saw that there was a bathtub in the bathroom, he took off his clothes without a second thought and climbed into the bathtub to relax. After turning on the tap, he fell asleep in less than a minute.

He slept until the latter half of the night. When he woke up again, he couldn't help but shiver because the water in the bathtub was really too cold, and the water on the tap was still flowing, but the water from the bathtub kept dripping down the rim of the tub into the washroom, and then into the sewer.

The reason why the water in the bathtub was cold was because the hotel advocated saving water. The hot water for bathing would only be open for 15 minutes, and would only recover after half an hour.

When Lin Xi turned on the water faucet, he immediately fainted. Fifteen minutes later, it was naturally cold water, and half an hour later it was hot water again.

Coincidentally, when he woke up, he found that the room was cold again. Even though the room wasn't too cold, he could not help but shiver.

The weather outside was only around ten degrees.

"Achoo!"

After getting out of the bathtub, Lin Xi shuddered once again, and sneezed once more. He turned off the tap, used a towel to dry the water stains on his body with difficulty, wrapped himself in the bathrobe, climbed onto the bed and fell back asleep, he was truly too sleepy.

The next morning, Lin Xi was woken up by the sound of a phone ringing. He groped around until he found the phone.

"Hey, Chubby Brother, what is it … Achoo … Isn't it too early?"

Ang Youyong's voice came from the other side of the phone, "What are you early for? It's almost 9. Brother Xi, hurry up and get up.

"I know. Achoo … I'll come down soon!"

Lin Xi unwillingly crawled out of bed, put on clothes, and washed up. However, he still felt that his nose was a little itchy, and even a little clogged up. When he saw that the bathtub was full of bathwater, he suddenly remembered what happened last night.

Looks like I really have a cold. I have to get some medicine!

When Lin Xi arrived at the lobby of the hotel, Ang Youyong was in the reception area reading a magazine with great interest. When he saw Lin Xi walking over with a sickly look and even wrapped up his clothes, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Brother Xi, did you catch a cold?"

"It seems a little bit. Last night, I lay in the bathtub for a few hours. Achoo … I have to go get some cold medicine when I have time."

Ang Youyong nodded his head lightly and sighed: "It's just that the Lu Zhou is not good. The humidity is too high, and during the change of seasons, the weather is volatile and temperamental, making it easy to catch colds. However, what's the use of a small disease like this, let's take you to eat something good.

To be honest, Lin Xi also didn't want to take any medicine. He had heard of the principle of taking three parts poison of a medicine, and the moment he gets sick, taking any medicine would easily cause people to become immune to the medicine, which would greatly reduce the effect of the medicine on his body. Hence, unless he had no other choice, he didn't want to take any medicine.

However, when it came to eating, Lin Xi was interested once again. Evidently, after last night's delicacies had filled his stomach to the brim, he still could not forget it. He asked curiously: "Really?
