Chapter 552: Anhui Cuisine

"You...please put me down quickly, there are people all around..."

Gu Chenxi, who was hugged by Princess Kong Liu, blushed and lowered her head.

Gong Liu held Gu Chenxi and continued to walk forward, not putting her down at all. He smiled and said, "We are already an old married couple, and you are still embarrassed?"

"Who, who is your old husband and wife..."

Gu Chenxi's face turned even redder, and she yelled at Kong Liu to put her down, "Put me down quickly, my sister and Zhizhi are here, how embarrassing!"

But in fact, in her heart, she was very happy to be hugged by Gong Liu like this - girls always say one thing and mean another.

"You guys continue!" Lin Zhi covered Gu Chenxuan's eyes, then smiled at the two of them and said, "Neither of us saw anything."

Gu Chenxuan, whose eyes were suddenly covered: "???"

After Lin Zhi finished speaking, she pulled Gu Chenxuan and walked quickly forward.

"You see, they don't mind."

Gong Liu said, pressing down Gu Chenxi's skirt with his hand, "So we don't have to be so formal!"

"You are right, I can't argue with you!"

Gu Chenxi blushed and lowered her head. Judging from her expression, she did not seem very happy, but her arms were still firmly wrapped around Gong Liu's neck, and it was obvious that she wanted him to hold her for a while longer.

She leaned her head on Kong Liu's shoulder, and could clearly hear his slightly rapid heartbeat. She felt an indescribable sense of security. She raised her head slightly, looked at Kong Liu and said, "Am I heavy?"

"No." Gong Liu asked back, "If it's heavy, I can't carry it this far."

Gong Liu didn't lie, Gu Chenxi was indeed not heavy. She had a small frame and not much flesh on her body. The only place with more flesh was probably her chest... Ahem, I've gone off topic.

Gu Chenxi asked back: "Then why is your heart beating so fast?"

"Is there?" Gong Liu asked, "Can you listen carefully again?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenxi lowered her head, leaned against Gong Liu's chest and listened to his heartbeat.

“Plop~Plop~”

Gu Chenxi said: "It's obviously jumping very fast!"

Gong Liu stared at Gu Chenxi's face with his eyes fixed on her. He chuckled and said, "Is it possible that your heartbeat is faster than mine?"

"..."

The moment their eyes met, Gu Chenxi felt as if the noisy ambient sounds around him were filtered out, and the only sound he could hear was the sound of two heartbeats.

"Dongdong~Dongdong~~"

The sound of her heart beating even faster was...her...her heart was beating so fast...

Gu Chenxi blushed again.

She turned her head away, deliberately avoiding Gong Yoo's gaze.

Lin Zhi and Gu Chenxuan, who were walking in front, would occasionally look back and take a peek at the two people behind them.

Gu Chenxuan said: "Sister Zhizhi, what do you think they are talking about?"

"I don't know." Lin Zhi narrowed her eyes and smiled softly, "When I'm with the person I like, there are always so many topics to talk about."

"Oh~~~"

Gu Chenxuan didn't understand, and she was too lazy to ask further questions, but asked back: "So can we still eat spicy vermicelli tonight?"

"Why are you just thinking about eating vermicelli!"

Lin Zhi stretched out her finger and gently poked Gu Chenxuan's forehead. She said, "Sister will take you to eat Anhui cuisine tonight!"

After leaving the wetland park, Kong Yoo drove and followed Lin Zhi's mobile phone navigation to a restaurant decorated in a very Hui style of architecture for dinner.

"You didn't have a good lunch at noon, so I'll treat you to a formal meal tonight."

Sitting in a booth for four people in the lobby on the second floor, Lin Zhi handed the menu to Gong Liu and Gu Chenxi, "You can order whatever you want. This restaurant is a chain and the dishes are all good. You won't regret it."

Gong Liu and Gu Chenxi looked at the dishes on the menu that were almost as expensive as the average customer spending at Zhonghai Hotel. They looked at each other and wanted to say something, but ultimately did not speak.

They ordered two dishes at random, and then Kong Liu handed the menu to Lin Zhi and said, "I don't know much about Anhui cuisine, so you, a local, should order it, and we will be responsible for eating."

"Okay." Lin Zhi nodded without hesitation and said, "Then do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Gong Liu and Gu Chenxi said at the same time in perfect tacit agreement: "No."

"Me neither, me neither." Gu Chenxuan also said twice.

Lin Zhi ordered several dishes in a row. Gu Chenxi quickly stopped her and told her not to order too much. However, as the host, Lin Zhi felt that it was not enough.

After being persuaded by the three, Lin Zhi finally gave up.

Anhui cuisine is mellow, not greasy, and mainly salty and fresh, with an emphasis on the original flavor.

Anhui cuisine focuses on the freshness and quality of ingredients. Many ingredients are locally sourced, with most of them featuring mountain specialties, like ham stewed with soft-shelled turtle, Huizhou Yipintang, and clear-boiled chicken. The bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, chicken (a kind of frog), and turtle in these dishes all come from the mountains - but you won't be able to eat these wild ingredients in chain restaurants.

After all, when people run a restaurant business, they have a huge demand for food ingredients. They can't go up the mountain to dig wild bamboo shoots and vegetables for you every day, right?

In the farmhouses around Huangshan, you can eat Anhui cuisine with a strong rustic flavor made with wild ingredients.

The dishes tonight were very rich. Apart from the stinky mandarin fish, the hairy tofu was what impressed Kong Liu and Gu Chenxi the most.

Although it was my first time to eat the famous dish of stinky mandarin fish, it has been famous for a long time. The aroma of stinky mandarin fish is indeed quite "unique", but it still tastes very good when you put it in your mouth.

Although the fish meat is marinated, it retains its elasticity and toughness. The meat is tender and fresh, and the soup is relatively thick.

This fish is the most expensive dish tonight, one hundred and forty-nine yuan for one fish.

Compared to stinky mandarin fish, Gong Yoo feels that hairy tofu is more difficult to eat.

Mao tofu is actually tofu that has grown white mold mycelium (probiotics) after fermentation. It is a snack that is fried in a pan with the mycelium and then sprinkled with chili powder.

Gong Yoo tried a piece and found the texture was somewhat similar to that of fried tofu. The outer skin was crispy like fried tofu, while the inside was soft and glutinous like fermented bean curd. It tasted slightly sour and had a strong umami flavor.

Gu Chenxi and Kong Liu only tasted it lightly, but Gu Chenxuan liked it very much and ate several pieces as a snack.

Lin Zhi spent four or five hundred yuan on the meal. Worried that Kong Yoo and the others would rush to pay the bill, Lin Zhi paid the bill before the food was served.

Gu Chenxi didn't plan to compete with Lin Zhi for paying the bill. She knew Lin Zhi's personality. If Lin Zhi didn't treat her to dinner today, she would probably not be able to sleep when she went back home at night - Lin Zhi had been talking about treating her and Gong Yoo to dinner since she came back from Tibet.

After dinner, Linzhi took a few people to visit the night market in Xuancheng. When they passed by the stall of an internet celebrity who was selling geese, they spent a huge sum of fifty yuan to buy thirty rings and tried them out.

As a result, the four people got nothing.

This incident tells us a truth: gamblers will not have a good end unless there is a guarantee.
