The Sweet Beggar's Chicken of Deep Regret

Following the aroma, Sweet Beggar's Chicken quickly arrived at the end of a long queue that seemed to stretch on forever.

Wow, there are so many people!

Sweet Beggar's Chicken peeked around, but still couldn't see the long queue at the front.

So she randomly picked a passerby and asked him what she didn't understand:

"Hey bro, what are we lining up for?"

The man, a middle-aged man who looked like a tourist, stroked his beard and said:

"It's a barbecue stall that opened at the entrance of Ningquanju. It seems to have been set up by a chef named Nanxu."

"I don't know much about it, but it smells so good, and with so many people queuing up, it must taste amazing."

"Nan Xu?!"

Upon hearing the name, Sweet Beggar Chicken immediately became excited.

She hadn't gone to the wrong place; this was indeed Nan Xu's stall!

"Thank you, big brother!" Sweet Beggar's Chicken immediately went to the end of the line and joined the queue.

"It's nothing, no need to thank me." The tourist waved his hand.

But then, his eyes darted around as if he had thought of something: "However... I think it's not healthy for a young girl like you to eat so much greasy barbecue, and it will also affect your appetite for regular meals."

"How about this? I heard they limit each person to five skewers, and I'm not satisfied. Could you spare one or two for me? I'll treat you to dinner at Ningquanju later, and you can order whatever you want!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the live chat exploded with comments:

Is there really such a good thing?

This guy is actually a kind and honest person.

[This Ningquanju sounds like a grand restaurant! Streamer, please agree and show us what a proper restaurant in this game is like!]

[Exactly! You've had Nanxu's barbecue before, what's wrong with eating a few less skewers?]

Sweet Beggar Chicken silently rolled its eyes, then opened the player channel and unleashed a barrage of attacks:

"You bunch of troublemakers, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

"They must be jealous because they see me getting more and more Nanxu grilled skewers, and they want me to eat fewer!"

"Could the culinary skills of any random restaurant in the city compare to those of Nanxu, the protagonist of this world?"

When the viewers realized their intentions had been exposed, they immediately dropped their pretense:

"So what? So what?"

[Seriously, as a streamer, shouldn't you show us more dishes? Don't you have any professionalism at all?]

[Yes, yes, someone can't just think about their own enjoyment and ignore the audience's experience, right?]

[Furthermore, I heard that Nanxu cooked at Ningquanju yesterday, so the food here must be quite good.]

Besides, if you're trading one or two skewers for a whole feast, even if the skewers are only slightly better, you're not losing out, right?

"You guys..." Sweet Beggar Chicken gritted her teeth. These people really don't even bother to act.

However, after seeing the comments in the next two bullet comments, she hesitated again.

What they said seems to make some sense?

After hesitating for a while, Sweet Beggar Chicken finally nodded.

"Fine, fine, I can't do anything with you guys. What can I do? I'm a streamer who spoils my fans, after all."

She switched out of the player channel and agreed to the visitor's request.

"Don't worry, I'll only take two skewers. You won't be shortchanged," the middle-aged tourist assured him, patting his chest.

After smelling the aroma for so long, he was already incredibly hungry.

Five skewers per person? That's not even enough to fill a tooth gap!

……

Thanks to Nanxu's high efficiency, the queue shortened very quickly, and in less than half an hour, the long line in front of Sweet Beggar's Chicken disappeared.

Seeing this, Sweet Beggar Chicken was moved to tears.

"Finally, it's my turn! I want this, this, and this!"

While ordering, Sweet Beggar's Chicken also handed over the ingredients and experience points it had accumulated over the past few days, and learned a set of skills.

She wanted to talk to Nan Xu a little longer, but there were too many people queuing behind her, and she couldn't stand the urging looks from everyone, so she hurriedly left with her skewers.

"Wow, this smells amazing! It smells even better than the one I had last time!"

Sweet Beggar Chicken picked up a skewer of meat and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth.

The moment she took a bite, her expression changed drastically.

First came shock, surprise, disbelief, and then quickly turned into regret.

This kebab tastes so much better than the one she had last time!

Has Nanxu improved so much in just a few days?

Or perhaps he didn't even use his full strength last time?

Sweet Beggar Chicken was filled with regret at that moment, deep regret.

If she had known these skewers were so delicious, she shouldn't have agreed to the deal with that middle-aged tourist!

……

"Alright, starting with the customer with the white headscarf, everyone else can stop queuing."

Nan Xu glanced at the sky and announced.

"Thank you for your patronage, but we are closed for lunch today. If you would like to eat there again, please come back in the evening."

Upon hearing this, the guests who hadn't gotten a turn all showed expressions of regret.

However, it was indeed time, so they weren't too surprised and had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

Some people, their appetites were whetted, decided to go to Ningquanju nearby and treat themselves to a good meal.

After finishing grilling the last customer's skewers, Nanxu leisurely began to pack up the kitchen utensils.

He then opened the panel, looked at his accumulated experience points, and smiled with satisfaction.

Since this morning, many players who have received the news have been arriving one after another.

At least half of the long queue of diners were gamers.

These players brought him a very rich reserve of experience points, and combined with the experience he gained from grinding over the past few days, the experience points he accumulated were more than enough for him to reach level 30.

Considering that the next thing he was going to do required certain attributes, Nan Xu waved his hand and raised his level to the stage cap of level 30, and then added the 6 attribute points he had just obtained to his willpower.

In this way, his true energy value reached more than 1,300 points.

After packing up, Nan Xu was just about to go back to the shop to rest and recharge when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Master Nanxu, these are the ingredients I've found during this time. Please accept them!"

Nan Xu turned around and saw that it was actually the head of Tianfu.

Seeing this, he suddenly realized what was going on.

He said he hadn't seen the guy that morning; it turned out he'd gone out to find food.

Nan Xu glanced at the ingredients in the hands of the head of Tianfu Restaurant, then revealed a surprised expression:

"Huh, there are fresh wild rock partridges too?"

The rock partridge is a type of frog that lives in the crevices of rocks in mountain streams. It is called "rock partridge" because its meat is delicious, similar to chicken, but far superior to ordinary chicken.

In Anhui cuisine, there is a dish called "Double Stone Soup," which is made by stewing stone fungus with stone chicken, and it tastes incredibly delicious.

Fortunately, he had some high-quality Huangshan stone ear fungus, which would be perfect for making soup.

His surprise wasn't because he saw the stone partridge, but because it looked like it had just been caught and wasn't even dead yet.

It seems that the leader of Tianfu must have known his location beforehand and specifically timed his capture.
