Chapter 7 The Impact of Modern Cuisine
In the crowd, Xu Yizhou listened to these discussions and complained in his heart: "This name is indeed quite ordinary, and it doesn't fit my temperament at all! Humph, it must be another nouveau riche who wants to build a name with gold."

He felt disgusted, yet couldn't help being curious.

"Boom!"

At this time, the sound of three gongs rang out, and the two vermilion doors of my brother's house slowly opened.

"Dear guests, welcome to Fanlou!"

Two rows of maids in gorgeous clothes filed out, all of them had pretty faces and graceful figures, and the men present almost popped their eyes out of their heads.

These maids are not girls from ordinary families. There is a sense of heroism in their every move, but they do not make people feel too strong. Instead, they add a bit of charm.

The young men beside Xu Yizhou were already staring at her with their eyes wide open, drooling, "My God, the boss of this Fanlou must have spent a lot of money to find so many beautiful girls!"

"That's right. With such beauty and temperament, even the top performer in Zui Xiang Lou can't compare to her!"

Xu Yizhou coughed lightly and pretended to be calm and said, "Alright, don't act like you've never seen the world before. Let's go in and take a look. I want to see what's hidden in this Fan Building!"

After saying this, he straightened his clothes, held a folding fan in his hand, and strode towards Fanlou with big strides.

"Hey, the road in front of the door is paved with white jade, and the upstairs are illuminated by night pearls. It's simply too luxurious."

Seeing this, Xu Yizhou was secretly surprised. Who is the owner of this Fanlou and why he is so generous?

"We have a total of sixteen floors in the Fan Building, but only twelve floors are open at the moment. Please feel free to experience it."

The welcoming maid spoke as she invited the guests in.

They are well-trained, have sweet voices and just the right smiles, making people feel like spring breeze.

After passing through Yingxi Gate, Xu Yizhou discovered that the interior decoration of Fanlou was even more luxurious.

The building was magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings. Some of the mahogany was carved with auspicious clouds and flying dragons, symbolizing good luck and nobility. Even the pillars were inlaid with glittering gems, which almost blinded his titanium dog eyes.

"My goodness, this is too extravagant!"

A young man beside Xu Yizhou couldn't help but exclaimed, "The owner of this Fanlou must have brought mountains of gold and silver here!"

"Humph, the behavior of a nouveau riche is so vulgar."

Although Xu Yizhou expressed disdain, he was secretly envious in his heart. How much money would it cost to achieve such an effect!

"Brother Xu, look over there, it looks like some treasure!"

Another young man pointed at a jade sculpture in the center of the hall and shouted excitedly.

Xu Yizhou followed his gaze and saw a three-meter-tall jade sculpture, crystal clear and emitting a soft light.

The jade carving is a lifelike phoenix with its wings spread out as if ready to fly. Every feather is carved in such detail that it seems as if it were real.

"Hiss! Could this be carved from a whole piece of warm jade?"

Xu Yizhou took a deep breath. Although he was a playboy, he also knew the value of this warm jade. If it was really as he thought, then the value of this jade carving was simply inestimable!
"Brother Xu, who is the boss of Fanlou and why is he so generous?" A young man approached Xu Yizhou and asked in a low voice.

Xu Yizhou waved his folding fan and raised his eyebrows. "You ask me, who should I ask?"

After saying that, he looked around and saw a group of guards standing in the corner of the hall.

(The one hundred martial artists exchanged by the Destiny System, the females act as maids, and the males act as waiters and guards.)
In the center of the lobby on the first floor, there is a huge lotus platform, carved from the finest white jade, surrounded by mist, like a fairyland. Around the lotus platform, hundreds of tables and chairs are arranged in a staggered manner, and each table is covered with a satin tablecloth embroidered with gold thread, which is beautiful and clean.

Xu Yizhou was considered an expert in eating, drinking and having fun in Tianhuang City, but he had never seen such a scene before, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Dear guests, the first floor is our Fanlou's signature dish. We are opening today and the whole place is free. Please enjoy it!"

A maid in a green dress, with a clear and pleasant voice and a sweet and lovely smile, makes people want to get close to her.

As soon as she finished speaking, she clapped her hands gently, and the next moment, teams of waiters came out one after another, each holding a variety of dishes in their hands. The aroma was so fragrant that it made people's mouths water.

"Spicy crayfish, sweet and sour spareribs, fish-flavored pork shreds, Kung Pao chicken, Buddha jumps over the wall, nine-turn large intestine..."

Xu Yizhou's eyes widened as he looked at the names of dishes he had never seen before.

These dishes were something he had never heard of or seen before in his memory. Each one exuded an enticing aroma, as if beckoning to him.

"What...what are these?"

A young man pointed at the unnamed dishes on the table and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It looks fancy, but I wonder how it tastes?" Another young man swallowed his saliva, eager to try it.

"Brother Xu, what are these dishes? Why have I never seen them before?" a young man asked curiously.

Xu Yizhou resisted the urge to swallow his saliva, pretended to be calm and waved his folding fan, saying: "You are ignorant, these are called delicacies from the mountains and the sea, only people like me who often go to high-end restaurants can taste these delicacies."

In order to save his own face, Xu Yizhou had to explain it this way.

After saying that, he picked up a piece of "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" casually, only to find that this "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" was actually served in some kind of transparent container, which contained brightly colored dishes and looked extremely exquisite.

"This... could this be the internal organs of some monster?"

Xu Yizhou looked at the brightly colored "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" and felt puzzled.

"But how do you eat this?"

Xu Yizhou was dumbfounded. After living for so many years, he still didn't know how to eat this dish.

You don't have to catch this thing with your hands, do you?

He doesn't want to be regarded as a country bumpkin.

At this time, a maid in a green dress came over with a professional smile on her face and said softly, "Sir, this is our Fanlou's specialty, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. You need to taste it slowly with a spoon to appreciate its exquisiteness."

As she spoke, she picked up a small white jade spoon, scooped a spoonful of "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" soup, and gently handed it to Xu Yizhou.

Xu Yizhou usually prides himself on being a gourmet who has eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, but he was intimidated by the scene in Fanlou. Then, seeing the maid being so graceful and well-mannered, he became even more curious about how delicious this "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" is.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious food. He opened his mouth and swallowed the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" in the spoon.

"Um……"

The next moment, Xu Yizhou's eyes suddenly widened, and an indescribable deliciousness exploded in his mouth, as if a bolt of lightning had struck his taste buds.
