Chapter 165
Grandpa Xu had no idea that there was no such thing as a five-yuan skewer of mutton in the world!
The scenes within the illusion array were largely influenced by Bai Lu, the one who set it up; she had never even tasted authentic, non-gamey lamb skewers...
When Bailu was working as a slave in Boss Chen's company, she often thought that once she saved enough money, she would definitely eat well!
Grandpa Xu ordered all the dishes he wanted to eat, including the lamb skewers he had been craving, as well as beef skewers, pork belly skewers, two dozen palm-sized oysters, a lychee wood-roasted chicken, enoki mushrooms, and grilled eggplant!
A whole table full!
Grandpa Xu's initial joy turned into guilt as the dishes were served one by one.
This is a huge table, enough for the whole family to eat for several meals...
I closed my eyes, trying to clear my mind of all the unpleasant thoughts, and continued eating the not-so-delicious lamb skewers.
Huanzhen turned his sense of taste to the maximum, and he seemed to be really eating. The oyster shop owner even gave him a bottle of beer and a can of cola.
These were all flavors he had never tasted before.
The beer, a little chilly, was surprisingly delicious, so he ordered two more bottles. He was starting to understand why people drive after drinking these days, because he didn't feel drunk either, even though he wasn't walking in a straight line.
But this is inside an illusion array, how could I possibly get drunk!
Grandpa Xu sat at the table, three beer bottles in front of him were already empty, he squinted slightly, a satisfied smile on his face.
Although the food didn't taste as perfect as he had imagined, the feeling of feasting was undeniable. "Another dozen oysters, and another bottle of beer!" Grandpa Xu shouted. His voice wasn't particularly loud in the lively atmosphere of the barbecue stall, but the owner still caught the signal perfectly: "Alright, just a moment!"
The beer arrived shortly afterward, and the owner kindly advised, "Sir, please drink less!"
Before Old Master Xu could answer, he was called over from the next table.
As Grandpa Xu watched his busy figure, a sense of emotion welled up in his heart.
Although he knew this was a world within an illusion, and everything was unreal, this realistic experience brought him a long-lost joy, making him unable to resist indulging in it. Putting aside everything else, the fact that he could eat delicious food was attractive enough.
He picked up a beef skewer, took a small bite, and although the taste was still a bit strange, he still thought it was delicious. Perhaps it was not just because of the food itself, but also because of the rare relaxation and enjoyment.
"Sir, your oysters and beer!" The owner's voice pulled Mr. Xu back from his thoughts.
He looked up and saw a plate of fresh oysters and a bottle of chilled beer on the table.
"Thank you!" Grandpa Xu said with a smile, reaching out to pick up an oyster, gently prying open the shell, and putting the oyster meat inside into his mouth.
The delicious flavor exploded in his mouth instantly, making him exclaim in admiration.
After a hearty meal, Grandpa Xu stood up and walked unsteadily along the road. As he walked, the surroundings changed, and neon lights flashed, as if telling him what a colorful darkness was.
People walked past him. By the way, people in this era did not have a curfew, and even developed a culture called "working overtime".
