A Delicious Taste That Lies in a Different Dimension from Reality

"We're already in the city, and they're still offering free samples!"

Upon hearing this, the players immediately became excited.

Most of them didn't have much money, and even if they did, they might not be able to afford the high prices at restaurants.

Although Nanxu offered a 20% discount, this discount is like a Lamborghini coupon; is it really that they're missing that extra 20%?

They're missing the remaining 80%!

"What do you mean? If you ask me, we should all line up for the free tasting! Even though it wasn't made by Nanxu himself, it tastes just as good with that seasoning!" One player said, his mouth practically watering.

The barbecue seasonings that Nanxu mixes are so delicious, you could even dip your shoes in them!

"Don't forget we still need to hand over that mushroom pig to Nanxu. We need to find a chance to meet him. If we wait until closing time, we might lose a few more quality points," said Vanishing Time calmly.

"Yeah, there are so many people queuing here. If we try to squeeze in, we might get kicked out for cutting in line." Xiaoyao Suifeng's eyes lit up. "How about this, we pool our money and leave a few people to queue here, while we also try Nanxu's cooking."

"Consider this money a loan, with extra interest, as compensation for the brothers who didn't get to eat Nanxu's food, how about it?"

"Good suggestion, but I want to be the one who stays." One player volunteered.

"How much money do you have? Can you afford the interest? Get out of my way!" another player said rudely.

"Exactly! I think I should stay!"

The players argued for a while, but they all wanted to stay and try Nanxu's cooking rather than take a bigger share of the money.

In the end, only three people remained in the team: Vanished Time, Carefree Wind, and Gummy Bear.

There's nothing we can do; those three are the most trusted players in the community.

The disappearing time is a professional player, needless to say. Xiaoyao Suifeng has the most money. The rare ingredients for gummy bears have a high drop rate and are also related to Nanxu. Paying back the money is not a difficult task for them.

"Damn it... I have to admit you guys have more money." The other players left angrily. "Remember to record a video while you eat, we want to use it to watch our meal!"

"Brother Bao!" Xiaoyao Suifeng chuckled. Recording videos was something he was good at.

Perfect timing! It's been a while since he's done a side job as a restaurant review blogger, so let's put his expertise to use in "Chef Soul"!

After waiting for a long time, the long queue gradually shortened, and the three of them finally reached the end of the queue.

Guided by the waiter, the three sat down at a table by the window.

"Let me look at the menu..." Xiaoyao Suifeng looked at the menu on the wall in the distance.

Unlike the handwritten menus of ordinary shops, the names of the dishes are engraved on long, rectangular redwood boards, which looks very noble and elegant.

However, some of the mahogany boards were clearly newly carved, with rather rough lettering, which slightly spoiled the atmosphere.

"These dishes were added by Chef Nanxu at the last minute. If you want to try his cooking, these are the ones you can't go wrong with!" the waiter explained while also promoting the dishes.

"Hmm, then I'll have this Jixi One-Pot Stew, this Taibai Fish Head Soup, a stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, and nine skewers of meat."

After discussing it for a while, and considering their financial situation, the three reluctantly made their choice.

Damn it, they want to eat everything on the menu!

However, they simply didn't have that much money and could only order a small amount, being very frugal.

"By the way, we are friends of Master Nanxu. We can't easily see him in the kitchen, so we wanted to ask you to pass on a message to him." Brother Shiguang took out a note that he had prepared in advance.

Then, he took out a few copper coins from his bag and handed them to the waiter: "These are your tip, please."

"No problem, sir. It's just delivering a message. Please wait here!" The waiter patted his chest loudly.

After a while, the waiter returned to the table with steaming hot dishes and said in a loud voice, "The dishes are ready, please enjoy your meal, esteemed guests!"

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "I have also delivered your letter to you."

"Thank you." Brother Shiguang gave the waiter a few more copper coins as a reward.

After he had walked away, Xiaoyao Suifeng asked with some worry, "I see there are quite a few guests here. Nanxu is very busy right now. Will he really come out to see us?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. We've done the best we can under the current conditions." Vanished Time shook his head.

In his letter, he wrote that they were going to give the rare ingredients to Nanxu, and that if they waited too long, they might become less fresh.

If Nanxu still waits until after closing time to meet them, they can only watch their quality score drop for nothing.

"Since things have come to this, let's forget about the ingredients and eat first," Time Bro suggested.

He had never tasted Nanxu's cooking, which was touted as amazing online, and didn't know how much better it was than the high-end restaurants he had eaten in real life.

"Okay, time to eat!" the gummy bear cheered excitedly.

She wasn't thinking about anything else; she was only concerned with the delicious food in front of her.

From the moment the dishes were served, she was already drooling.

If she hadn't noticed that the other two hadn't even started eating, she would have already been feasting!

Upon hearing this, she immediately reached out her chopsticks towards the large iron pot in the center of the table.

Inside the iron pot, various ingredients are arranged in layers. The top layer is filled with main ingredients such as pork belly, egg dumplings, and tofu puffs, while the bottom layer is filled with vegetables such as dried bamboo shoots.

These ingredients are soaked in a rich broth, which bubbles gently in the residual heat of the perfectly cooked broth, releasing an irresistible aroma.

"This is the Jixi One-Pot Stew? The portion is huge!"

Xiaoyao Suifeng revealed a delighted expression. Although this dish was a bit expensive, it was definitely worth the money!

With that in mind, he opened the game's built-in screen recording system and started recording the video.

This stuff is so delicious, of course we have to tempt netizens... oh no, of course we have to promote it properly!

At this moment, Little Gummy Bear had already put an egg dumpling into her mouth, and while chewing, her hands kept moving as she reached for the pork belly in the pot.

"Chew... Let me tell you, this dish is absolutely delicious!"

Seeing this, the passing time nodded, picked up a meatball from the pot, and prepared to taste Nanxu's cooking.

He was stunned when he put the food in his mouth.

"This, this taste..."

He thought that Nanxu's cooking might be delicious, even better than those high-end restaurants in reality.

However, he doesn't consider himself a person with a strong appetite. Having played professionally for so many years and reached the top level in the industry, he has visited countless high-end restaurants in real life.

There were many restaurants that his teammates raved about, but he himself thought they were just average.

It's not that it's bad; it is indeed very delicious, but not enough to make him want to come back specifically to eat it.

But... this seemingly ordinary Jixi Hot Pot, which doesn't have the exquisite appearance of those high-end restaurant dishes, gave him the feeling that "he would be willing to make a special trip to eat this dish every day."

Is this... a delicious taste that exists in a different dimension from reality?
