Chapter 188 The Drinking Man

After half an hour, they arrived at the destination. Lin Li put on a mask and got off the car with Zhou Ye.

"Wow, it looks so impressive!"

Zhou Ye was in a good mood. After getting off the car, he looked up at the building in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Li stood behind Zhou Ye and looked up as she did, and a group of ancient buildings came into view.

Huixiang Pavilion stands in the city forest of high-rise buildings. The white walls and black tiles of Hui-style architecture, and the corridors and windows are full of local characteristics, attracting many customers and pedestrians to stop and take pictures.

The door cover, brackets and corbels on the gate are full of Huizhou style.

"go in."

Lin Li lowered his eyes to look at the girl in front of him and reminded her softly.

"Uh-huh."

Zhou Ye nodded like a chick pecking at rice, stretched out his two slender and straight legs and began to walk inside. His two round eyes kept looking around, and he looked like he had seen a lot of the world.

The girl's curiosity was fully reflected in Zhou Ye, and she looked like a lively little deer when she looked around.

Lin Li paced slowly behind Zhou Ye, happily appreciating the beauty of the young girl.

The girl's beautiful hair was scattered in the evening breeze. Lin Li didn't know for a moment whether it was her hair that was moving or his own heart.

Lin Li was thinking about it, and his heart was moved.

Stepping into the hall, there is a different scene.

The huge landscape pond is clear, clean and shiny. The rustic mahogany tables are arranged around the pond, so you can enjoy the fish playing among the lotus flowers up close while dining.

Zhou Ye actively walked up to a passing waiter and told him their box number. The waiter glanced at the two of them and made a gesture to invite them in.

Zhou Ye looked back at Lin Li, smiling and making a hooking gesture, signaling Lin Li to follow quickly.

Lin Li nodded to her gently to show that he understood, and followed her closely with a gentle smile.

The waiter led the two into a private room called Tiangaoyundan, told them they could scan the code to order, and then walked away.

Lin Li glanced at the environment of the box. The space was about 20 square meters, shaded by green bamboos, gurgling water, and lush grass. It looked like a Jiangnan garden. It really took this style to the extreme.

Even the table for the two of them to dine at is a uniquely shaped stone platform, with four quaint stone pillars standing beside it.

"sit down."

Lin Li looked at Zhou Ye who was looking around and planned to let her sit down and be quiet for a while.

"Uh-huh"

Zhou Ye turned his head to look at him, understood what he meant, stuck out his tongue, and sat down obediently.

Lin Li also sat opposite her, took out his mobile phone, scanned an inconspicuous QR code on the side of the stone table, and then handed the phone to Zhou Ye.

?

Zhou Ye raised his little face, his eyes revealing a clear stupidity.

"See what you want to eat."

Lin Li looked at her confused face and reminded her with both anger and amusement.

"Oh, hey."

Zhou Ye took Lin Li's phone and started looking at the dishes on it.

She had a strange feeling in her heart. She always felt that such things were only done by boyfriends and girlfriends.

"Ali, do you have any recommendations? I don't eat much Anhui cuisine."

"You told me today that you wanted to eat Anhui cuisine. Didn't you read about it in advance?"

"I thought you were from Anhui Province, so I didn't make any plans in advance, but I know about stinky mandarin fish, hehe~"

"As expected of you, eh!"

"Hehe~"

Looking at the numerous and fancy names of the dishes, Zhou Ye had no choice but to ask Lin Li, a native of Anhui Province, for help, which naturally caused Lin Li to complain.

Lin Li placed his palms on the table, tapping them while thinking. After a few seconds, he looked at Zhou Ye and spoke slowly.

"Huizhou stinky mandarin fish, needless to say, this is a must-order. It smells stinky but tastes delicious. Don't be scared by its name, you can try it."

"You can also try Huangshan Mao Tofu, a famous street food in Huizhou. It is very authentic here."

"Feixi Chicken Soup is also a must-order. It's very fresh, nutritious and delicious. Hmm...it suits you well too."

"Girls like the mugwort rice cake. It has a chewy, soft and smooth texture, and a hint of sweetness. It seems to have the flavor of nature mixed in. It's pretty good."

"Add some Bagongshan tofu. The old tofu has a delicate texture, a refreshing bean fragrance, no yellow pulp taste, and does not fall apart even after long cooking. It is large and thick, comfortable to eat, and the seasoning is just right, not covering up the original taste of the ingredients."

"Let's have another serving of Wen Zheng Mountain Bamboo Shoots. It's enough for the two of us. This mountain bamboo shoot is the most tender among all bamboo shoots, but it's not fragrant enough. Adding sausages, mushrooms and other flavors makes up for it, so this dish is also called Two Fragrant Wen Zheng Mountain Bamboo Shoots."

"Wow, Ali, you know so much, that's amazing."

Zhou Ye placed the order while listening to Lin Li's introduction. After all the orders were placed, he gave him a thumbs up in amazement, feeling that he was like a living cookbook.

Looking at her admiring eyes, Lin Li inexplicably felt that he was very capable. But then he felt something was wrong. After he realized what was going on, he asked with an inexplicable look of doubt.

"Isn't it normal for me, a native of Anhui Province, to know some famous dishes of Anhui Province?"

Zhou Ye suddenly realized: "It seems so!"

Lin Li: "..."

"Hehe~"

"But I thought this kind of place was like in TV dramas, where someone would be waiting by the side with a menu and respectfully waiting for you to order. I didn't expect it to be so simple as scanning a QR code."

Zhou Ye shook his little head, expressing his feelings.

Lin Li twitched his lips and maintained a calm tone: "We also need to keep up with the times and ensure efficiency."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

The girl once again smiled her clear and foolish smile.

"Well, can I have a drink? Just a little."

Zhou Ye stared at Lin Li who was looking at the interior furnishings in front of him, stretched out a green finger, and carefully asked for his opinion.

Lin Li looked at her with a suspicious look on his face: "Why do you suddenly want to drink?"

Zhou Ye adjusted the hair by his ears and said hesitantly: "I'm just curious. I've never drunk white wine before. I heard that the wine in your Anhui Province is softer, so I want to try it."

"No." Lin Li refused without hesitation. He felt that if he let the girl drink too much, nothing good would happen.

"Why? Just a little bit."

Zhou Ye looked puzzled and made a gesture with his hand to show the loss of the Korean market.

Lin Li looked at her with disdain: "I'm afraid you'll get drunk and act crazy."

Zhou Ye was immediately furious, staring at Lin Li with eyes wide open and breathing heavily: "How is this possible? I am a very quiet girl, okay!"

Lin Li twitched his lips, not thinking that this girl had anything to do with Wen Jing.

"Okay, just a little bit, don't drink too much."

"Yeah, sure."

"From now on, you are not allowed to drink white wine in other occasions."

"Oh, I know. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare to try it. I've been curious about it for a long time."

"alright."

Seeing Zhou Ye patting her chest calmly and making promises, Lin Li had no choice but to follow the girl's whim.

Lin Li took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code, and ordered a bottle of Yingjia, 42 degrees. It shouldn't be a problem if he drinks a little of this small dish.

"Ali, where will we shoot our movie? How long will it take?"

After his request was met, Zhou Ye's mind began to become active again and he started to inquire about the movie.

Lin Li looked at the curious little face in front of him, and spoke slowly with a smile on his face.

"I only have one month in the mountain city, so I will only give you one month."

"Are you sure? Movies, one month?"

Zhou Ye's eyes suddenly widened and his voice became much higher.

Lin Li said calmly: "It only took me two months to shoot Sadness and Rebellion. Is that strange? For a movie like ours, as long as everyone cooperates well and is efficient enough, we can finish it in one month."

"So, I hope you won't let me down when the time comes, classmate Zhou Ye."

Zhou Ye nodded blankly, suddenly feeling a huge pressure.

In fact, it only took two months to shoot "You were a Young Man in Your Previous Life". Lin Li was confident that he could finish the shooting in one month. At worst, a little more time would be enough.

At this time, the waiter knocked on the door outside. After Lin Li responded, he opened the door. Then several waiters came in one after another and placed the dishes on the table. At the same time, they placed white wine, wine dispensers and small wine glasses for them before bending down and leaving the box.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, Zhou Ye immediately freed himself from the pressure of filming and devoted all his attention to the food.

Well, I can see that he is a little foodie.

After several experiences of eating together, Lin Li came to a conclusion.

"Eat the food first and see how it tastes."

Seeing Zhou Ye's eager look, Lin Li spoke with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

Zhou Ye responded, then picked up the chopsticks and went straight for the stinky mandarin fish.

After all, it is a well-known dish, and those who have never eaten it will be curious.

"This~ is a bit smelly~"

Picking up a piece of fish and putting it next to his nose, Zhou Ye wrinkled his nose in disgust.

"It smells bad but tastes good. You should give it a try. I ate here once a long time ago and it tasted pretty authentic."

Lin Li looked at her with interest and said in a gentle and persuasive manner.

"Well, that's good!"

Zhou Ye pinched his nose half-believingly and put it into his mouth to chew for a few times. Then he looked at Lin Li with shining eyes. After swallowing it, he gave his evaluation as if he had discovered a new world.

"Just eat it if you like it, and try the others too."

Facing the cheerful little foodies, Lin Li felt even happier than if he had eaten the delicious food himself.

"That~"

Zhou Ye stretched out his hand and carefully pointed at the white wine placed aside, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Got it, I'll give you a try."

"Hehe~"

Lin Li shook his head with a smile, then raised the bottle, opened the seal, and slowly poured the wine into the wine dispenser. When the wine dispenser was full, he poured it into a small wine glass and pushed it in front of Zhou Ye.

With a hint of excitement, Zhou Ye picked up the wine glass and put it under his nose to sniff it a few times, then frowned again.

“It’s so pungent.”

Zhou Ye expressed his first feelings.

"So you still want to try?"

Lin Li supported the table with one hand and put tofu into his mouth with the other hand, his posture was casual.

"Of course!"

Zhou Ye glanced at Lin Li, then took a deep breath and raised the wine glass to his mouth.

"hot!"

"Oh, it's so spicy!"

"Why do so many of you guys like to drink something so unpalatable?"

After taking a sip of the wine, Zhou Ye's face quickly became visibly flushed, and his face looked like a rosy peach.

"I told you not to try it, now you're done. Since you've tried it, don't drink anymore. I'll get you some drinks."

"No, I want to drink some more! I think it's nothing special except that it's a little spicy!"

Lin Li looked at Zhou Ye's pink face and felt that he was in trouble.
