Chapter 462 Disastrous Cuisine (5K)

When Ye Yixuan was transferred to Guzhou County, the project she focused on most was "village-supermarket".

The project was planned by Zeng Wenjie, and Zhuang Aimin set the tone for fully developing tourism and ethnic characteristics. Therefore, the project received strong support from the province.

This project naturally progressed very quickly.

It happened to be the weekend, so many tourists from other places rushed to Guzhou County after hearing the news, and the province also sent high-ranking officials to inspect the area.

Zeng Wenjie drove his A8 with Mu Qingyang in to Guzhou County.

Just after we got off the highway, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class tried to squeeze in from behind, but Zeng Wenjie frowned and didn't give way. He didn't even use his turn signal and just forced his way in. Who the hell is going to put up with that?

The G-Class was annoyed by his blocking the way and honked its horn twice to express its dissatisfaction.

"Maybe they have an emergency?" Mu Qingyang asked.

“Unless his parents drank pesticide,” Zeng Wenjie sneered.

He wasn't as kind as Mu Qingyang in judging others. These days, there are plenty of uncivilized people, especially nouveau riche who have made a little money.

Mu Qingyang gave Zeng Wenjie a reproachful look and said, "I told you to say less of these things. It would be bad if others heard it."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Can't I be a little more natural with you in private?"

Mu Qingyang smiled helplessly, thinking that Zeng Wenjie always had a set of twisted and heretical arguments.

Just after exiting the tollbooth, the G-Class suddenly accelerated from behind, circled around to the front of Zeng Wenjie, and slammed on the brakes to a stop.

If Mu Qingyang hadn't been in the car, Zeng Wenjie would have stepped on the gas and flipped the other car over.

A cocky young man got out of the G-Class and pointed at Zeng Wenjie through the glass window, yelling, "Are you blind? Can't you drive? If you can't, go and get your driver's license!"

Zeng Wenjie rolled down the car window, glanced at him expressionlessly, and said, "Dude, don't go looking for trouble!"

The young man, somewhat like Brother Long from Kunshan, was enraged upon hearing this and felt an urge to fight.

But then, a Toyota Coaster came up behind and stopped on the side of the road after seeing Zeng Wenjie's car.

The young man was startled when he saw it was a Coaster, but he suppressed his anger and cursed, "You're lucky, kid."

He was clearly a knowledgeable person, knowing that a big shot was coming to inspect Guzhou County today, and that this Coaster must be an official vehicle.

Mu Qingyang pursed his lips slightly, thinking that Zeng Wenjie was right. He should avoid making assumptions about these people based on goodwill in the future.

Zeng Wenjie didn't want to lower himself to the level of this guy. Noticing that Tang Lin, the person in charge of publicity, was getting off the Coaster, he hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car.

"Xiao Zeng, why did you park here?" Tang Lin asked with a smile when he saw Zeng Wenjie.

“Minister Tang,” Zeng Wenjie hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands and said.

"I just happened to see your car, so I had the driver stop." Tang Lin smiled warmly and patted his shoulder gently, appearing very friendly.

"That G-Class just tried to cut me off, but I didn't let him. He wouldn't stop and was trying to cause me trouble. But as soon as Minister Tang arrived, he ran away, which saved me from that situation," Zeng Wenjie said with a helpless smile.

Tang Lin was also helpless after hearing this, and said, "Some people really need to improve their manners. Don't get into any conflicts with these people, it's not worth it. Just call the police."

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Of course, arguing and fighting with people is not a good thing. I have always been gentle, kind, respectful, frugal and modest."

If Tang Lin hadn't heard about how Zeng Wenjie had beaten Luo Xin so badly at Shanshui Pavilion that he ended up in the hospital for a month, he would have actually believed his nonsense.

However, he could understand. After all, they were young people. Who could stand being threatened? Who wouldn't have a temper?
"Okay, see you later," Tang Lin said.

"Okay." Zeng Wenjie helped Tang Lin back to his car before turning back to his own A8.

Mu Qingyang said, "I know that uncle, he's the one who presented you with the award!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "You have a really good memory."

Mu Qingyang couldn't help but smile. As a top student, she naturally had a good memory. Besides, she would occasionally look at that video, so of course she remembered it clearly!

After driving into the city, they went straight to the hotel and parked the car. Ye Yixuan had someone arrange a room for him.

Finding accommodation in Guzhou County today is not easy; almost all hotels and guesthouses are fully booked, as everyone is rushing to see "Cun Chao".

This nice hotel was almost entirely booked by government officials.

"Are you hungry?" Zeng Wenjie asked Mu Qingyang after checking in.

"A little!" Mu Qingyang touched his stomach.

The journey here took several hours, no less than a trip back to Baishui Town, so my stomach is already a bit empty.

Zeng Wenjie let out a "hehehe" laugh.

Mu Qingyang felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that this guy was definitely thinking of some crooked idea again!
"What are you laughing at!" Mu Qingyang couldn't help but grab his neck.

"I'll take you to get something good to eat." Zeng Wenjie chuckled and pulled her out the door.

He vaguely remembered that there was a market nearby where people slaughtered cattle and cooked the cow offal on the spot, which was very fresh.

Even in the eyes of many people in this province, Niu Bie (牛瘪) can be considered the ultimate dark cuisine. After all, it is made from the undigested green juice taken from the cow's stomach and cooked, which makes people feel that it is no different from eating shit.
Actually, if made well, this stuff tastes pretty good, with a slightly bitter, sweet aftertaste and a spicy flavor.

Upon arriving at the bustling market, Mu Qingyang saw pots and pans cooking over fires, and many stalls were filled with diners enjoying hot pot on portable gas stoves.

The air was filled with a smell that was both foul and fragrant.

"What...are we eating? Why is the soup green?" Mu Qingyang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You want to try some cow dung?" Zeng Wenjie said casually.

Mu Qingyang's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim in his dialect, "Eat shit?"

Fortunately, the market was noisy, and most people couldn't understand what she was saying.

Zeng Wenjie said, "Respect national culture. Also, let me tell you again, it's not cow dung, but a base made from undigested grass from a cow's stomach, scientifically known as Baicao Tang (Hundred Herbs Soup)."

Mu Qingyang's expression turned somewhat grim, finding it hard to imagine how the people of Chongshan had come up with so many bizarre ways of eating.

Zeng Wenjie is actually quite adventurous and has tried all sorts of unusual foods, but he really can't stomach pork sashimi...

In some small places in southern Yunnan, people like to eat pork sashimi, and he couldn't describe the feeling when he saw it with his own eyes.

Then, Zeng Wenjie found a stall and asked the owner to stir-fry two catties of beef to taste and check the saltiness.

Mu Qingyang couldn't help but watch from the side. The stir-fried beef was all normal, and all the seasonings were the usual ones. But when it was almost done cooking, a spoonful of greenish, shriveled soup was added, which made her face change drastically.

"Little girl, it's delicious!" the shopkeeper said with a smile to Mu Qingyang.

Mu Qingyang found it strange. The fragrant beef was already delicious, so why add a spoonful of this broth? It was hard to understand!

Once the beef was served and simmering on the portable gas stove, Zeng Wenjie added a spoonful of broth to the dipping sauce and stirred it to dissolve the chili sauce.

After hesitating for a long time, Mu Qingyang asked, "Do you really want to eat?"

Zeng Wenjie laughed indifferently, "If you don't eat, you'll go hungry. I don't care anyway."

He filled a bowl with rice from the wooden bucket next to him, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.

The soup is rich and flavorful, and the beef is stir-fried with great spiciness. The combination of the two creates a unique taste that is quite delicious.

The dipping sauce is also delicious. The chili powder is made by hand after being roasted by the owner, and it has a fragrant aroma. In addition, the leaves of roasted green Sichuan peppercorns are ground into powder and mixed in, which also gives it a strong numbing flavor.

"Mmm, it tastes really good! As expected, you have to come to Guzhou County to eat beef offal!" Zeng Wenjie said happily, immediately shoveling a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, then picking up a few pieces of beef with his chopsticks, dipping them in the sauce, and eating them in big bites.

Mu Qingyang couldn't help but swallow, but after glancing at the soup that was still a bit green after boiling, his chopsticks bobbed up and down, and he still couldn't make up his mind.

But Zeng Wenjie ate very quickly, and after eating more than half a pound of beef, Mu Qingyang finally couldn't resist anymore.

Pick up a piece of beef, dip it in the sauce, close your eyes, and stuff it into your mouth.

After entering, I discovered...

Hmm, it doesn't seem to have any strange smell. It has the aroma of spices, as well as a slightly bitter and sweet fragrance. The flavor of the beef itself is not masked, and the beef is also very chewy, with the aroma of stir-fried dried chili peppers mixed in.

"so spicy!"

She couldn't help but open her eyes and mutter to herself.

Then, they started putting their chopsticks into the pot. Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, a foodie is a foodie. Even if the dish is the most bizarre, once they've tasted it, as long as they think it tastes good, they'll quickly accept it.

"Why are you starting to eat? Weren't you very resistant?" Zeng Wenjie asked.

"Hao Chi!" Mu Qingyang replied cheerfully, taking big bites of meat.

Then, she was secretly delighted that Zeng Wenjie had introduced her to another local specialty dish!

This reminded her of the first time she ate hot pot. The things in that iron pot were all greasy and looked rather unclean, but they tasted incredibly delicious.

The same goes for this beef offal hot pot. It sounds scary, but it tastes delicious, and the broth isn't as bitter as you might imagine.

Zeng Wenjie had a good appetite, and knowing Mu Qingyang's appetite, he asked the owner to stir-fry another pound of beef to add later.

While eating, Mu Qingyang, sweating profusely, couldn't help but ask, "How did the people here come up with such a bizarre dish? Taking grass juice from a cow's stomach to make soup?"

"It's good for the stomach," Zeng Wenjie thought for a moment and could only offer this explanation. "Which is better, this or the sour soup beef from Niushou City?"

"They're all delicious!" Only a fool would make comparisons; a wise person simply enjoys the experience. Mu Qingyang, who gave such an answer, is undoubtedly a wise person.

Adding a pound of beef filled the small pot once again.

Mu Qingyang ate three bowls of rice. Seeing that Zeng Wenjie had soaked in soup, he hesitated for a moment and then also soaked half a bowl of rice in soup and ate it.

It was delicious after I tried it.

After finishing his meal, Mu Qingyang patted his bulging belly contentedly and said, "Wow, I've conquered another delicious dish. I'm amazing!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "I thought you were going to keep enduring the hunger, but I didn't expect you to have some courage."

Mu Qingyang said, "I'm super brave, okay!"

This answer made Zeng Wenjie laugh. He paid the bill to the boss and it only cost him ninety dollars in total, which was quite cheap.

Moreover, rice is free.

"Let's go back to the hotel and rest. I'll bring you here to try the barbecue and sashimi later," Zeng Wenjie said.

“I really like eating raw fish, but my mom doesn’t let me eat it much, saying it has parasites,” Mu Qingyang said.

"It's just an occasional meal, don't eat it every day," Zeng Wenjie said.

It is said that the treatment of liver disease in Guinan Province is unparalleled in the country, all thanks to the gluttons who love to eat raw fish.

After returning to the hotel, Zeng Wenjie called Ye Yixuan.

“Sister Xuan, I arrived in Guzhou County a while ago, but I knew you would be receiving leaders, so I didn’t want to bother you,” Zeng Wenjie said.

"Yes, I've been busy until now and only now can I finally sit down and catch my breath," Ye Yixuan sighed.

“I’m in the hotel you arranged right now,” Zeng Wenjie said.

Ye Yixuan said, "Then get some rest. See you at the gymnasium tomorrow."

Zeng Wenjie said, "How about we grab some late-night snacks and a couple of beers to relax tonight?"

Ye Yixuan said, "No, I don't know when I'll finish. Let's talk about it next time!"

After hanging up the phone, he saw Mu Qingyang huddled on the sofa with a pillow in his arms, so he went over and asked, "What are you doing?"

"It was a bit spicy just now, and my stomach is burning a little now," Mu Qingyang said apologetically.

So Zeng Wenjie openly reached into her clothes and rubbed her stomach. Not only was her fair skin beautiful, but it also had a smooth, creamy feel that was addictive.

"Xiao Zeng, are you at the hotel? Come sit in the tea room for a while," Tang Lin said to Zeng Wenjie on the phone, getting straight to the point.

“Okay, I’m coming right now,” Zeng Wenjie said.

Mu Qingyang pointed to the computer and said, "I'm going to play 'Hero Kill' for a while. You go ahead and do your work. Come back and find me when you're done."

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but flick her forehead and said, "You internet-addicted girl need to be taught a lesson with a stun gun. As everyone knows, when a stun gun is fully charged, the internet addiction is at its lowest."

Mu Qingyang looked puzzled, wondering what nonsense he was spouting again.

"Do you understand the law of conservation of energy? When the police station is without power, the stun guns must be fully charged," Zeng Wenjie said.

"Oh...I see!" Mu Qingyang immediately understood. He looked around warily and, finding no stun gun, breathed a sigh of relief.

I've been really addicted to the internet lately. I play until lights out every day, and sometimes I get so engrossed that I forget to wash up and have to go to bed in the dark.

After Zeng Wenjie left, Mu Qingyang downloaded "Hero Kill" and logged in. He then looked at his inventory and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehehe, I have skins for every single character, every single one!" Mu Qingyang said happily.

These skins were sent to her account by Zeng Wenjie today. Each one is very exquisite and comes in various styles.

Mu Qingyang excitedly changed into several of his favorite skins, then took a screenshot of his backpack and posted it directly to his QQ space to show off.

"Successfully acquired all the character skins in 'Hero Kill'!"

She rarely posts updates, but she couldn't help but post this, and immediately received many envious comments.

Thinking that Zeng Wenjie might come back at any time, I entered the 3V3 arena.

"Weren't you guys supposed to be watching 'Village Superman'? Why are you still playing games?" Jiang Yu sent a message.

“He’s at the hotel, busy with something,” Mu Qingyang replied.

"No way? He's at the hotel with you, how could he leave you to do other things? Doesn't he have to keep doing fill-in-the-blank exercises with you the whole time? (Surprised)" Jiang Yu was very surprised.

Mu Qingyang was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean by doing fill-in-the-blank questions on me?"

Jiang Yu said, "Let Chu Qingbai explain it to you."

Mu Qingyang knew this was definitely not something pleasant, probably something vulgar, so he said, "Jiang Haiwang, be normal!"

Jiang Yu replied, "This is just how a normal person thinks. If I were a man, I'd go to a hotel with you and then stay up all night! I'd just keep you up until you can't get out of bed."

"..." Mu Qingyang silently closed the chat box and then switched to "Do Not Disturb" mode.

Jiang Yu is too filthy; he's already showing signs of surpassing Chu Qingbai in this regard.

However, Jiang Yu's words made Mu Qingyang start to have wild thoughts.

When men encounter beautiful women, their left brain attacks their right brain, and their genitals take over the thinking; girls are similarly intensely curious about this.

As I was thinking, I remembered the strange dream that made SpongeBob leak water early in the morning, and I instantly transformed into Steam Girl again.

Zeng Wenjie went to the hotel's tea room to meet with the provincial leaders, and they chatted for more than an hour before returning to his room.

When Mu Qingyang saw him return, she seemed a little absent-minded. "You're back!"

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Weren't you going to play 'Hero Kill'? Why didn't you play it?"

With remarkable composure, Mu Qingyang deleted her browsing history. She had been so upset by Jiang Yu's words that she couldn't help but ask Baidu a series of embarrassing questions.

"I feel a bit out of sorts today, and I've had bad luck, always getting killed early in the game," Mu Qingyang said calmly.

Now he has excellent mental fortitude; he can lie without blushing or stuttering.

Zeng Wenjie lay down lazily on the sofa, then took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, saying, "It's so damn tiring to deal with the leaders. You have to think about every word you say, sit up straight, and always use polite language."

Mu Qingyang pursed her lips and stared at Zeng Wenjie, who was smoking and deep in thought, for a while before silently looking away, her ears turning slightly red.

She was actually a little conflicted.

“Guzhou County usually has a bullfighting show, but it’s a pity it hasn’t been running recently, otherwise I could take you to see it,” Zeng Wenjie said.

"Next time," Mu Qingyang said with a smile.

“The scene was a bit bloody,” Zeng Wenjie said.

"That's a bit scary, you hold me and watch over me." Mu Qingyang came up with an idea.

Zeng Wenjie thought she was a clever little devil, so he decided to watch a horror movie that night to let this clever little devil show off her skills.
