Chapter 664 Full of Ritual Sense

If it is a water snake, and it is amphibious, then the possibility of it coming ashore is very high, and it will be of little use for Liao Jiu to ask people to close the sluice gate.

In addition, the Datang Lake is so large, and there are many large forests on both sides of the lake, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of their search range.

Liao Jiu can only stay here for two days at most before returning to Beijing, as they can't stay away from the capital for long.

Let others help with the search. If you encounter a water monster, you can only give it food and kill people.

It's up to them.

It doesn’t matter to Jiang Lianzhu, so let’s be amphibious!

Jiang Lianzhu released several drones to survey the land, and put the remaining underwater detector into the water for surveying. She sat on the golden eagle, hovering in the air, and let the machines do the work.

Not long after, Liao Jiu also came back from his work.

After exchanging information with Jiang Lianzhu, they continued to search for the water monster.

Still no success.

By lunchtime, Jiang Lianzhu's stomach was growling with hunger. They had eaten the dry food they brought with them for breakfast. Now, Jiang Lianzhu felt that she had to go downstairs to find food. It would not be a good idea to keep searching without any clues.

They can eat dry food and make do. Chengfeng and Jifeng have been flying for most of the night and helping to look for the water monster for the whole morning. They need to be allowed to relax and find some food by themselves.

Don't tire them out too much.

Liao Jiu said, "There's a city near Datang Lake called Tingcheng. Let's go to Tingcheng for dinner. I've been there before. There's a restaurant there that specializes in fish, shrimp, and crab. The food is pretty good."

Of course, compared with his wife, it is far inferior.

Before he had eaten the fish and shrimp cooked by his wife, he thought Tingcheng's food was one of the best among all the restaurants where he had eaten fish and shrimp.

Jiang Lianzhu readily agreed, "Alright. While we're eating, let Chengfeng Jifeng go find some food in the woods outside the city!"

After putting away the equipment, he asked Chengfeng Jifeng to take them both to Tingcheng and directly found the restaurant that Liao Jiu mentioned.

Put them down and they flew away.

The name is quite unique, it’s called Tingcheng Flavor House!

It's not like any other XX restaurant.

The three-story Tingcheng Flavor Restaurant is built on the edge of Dating Lake.

Lake Oteng half surrounds the city.

Jiang Lianzhu and her companions rode a golden eagle into the city in a high-profile manner, and naturally had no intention of concealing their identities. They just wanted the people to know that they were here to help Tingcheng catch the water monster.

Those who don’t know will ask, and those who know them will naturally have an idea in their minds, and they will try to scare as many as possible.

The two entered Tingcheng Flavor Restaurant. It was dinner time and there were many people inside, but fortunately there were enough seats.

"My two lords, please come in. There are no private rooms available right now, but there are still seats in the hall outside. If you find it too noisy, please wait a moment while our shopkeeper negotiates for a private room..."

The guy greeted warmly.

Just kidding, he saw that these were people who came down from the golden eagle, with noble looks and extraordinary clothes. Although he didn't know their identities, it didn't hinder his good eyesight that he had developed through countless training in judging people.

Jiang Lianzhu smiled, "No need, we can just eat in the living room, it's fine. No need to be picky. It would be best if we could get a seat by the window so we can enjoy the view of Lake Da Ting..."

"Alright! Please come upstairs, my dears! There are many windows in the upstairs hall, and you can see the lake view outside."

The waiter took the two to the second floor. There were far fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor, especially near the windows. There were several empty tables, and it seemed that no one was willing to sit by the windows.

Generally, the view near the window is good, and it is relaxing and pleasant to eat and enjoy the view.

But here it's the other way around.

She raised her doubts, and the young man smiled bitterly and said, "I won't hide it from you two. The situation is like this. There's been a water monster in Datang Lake recently. Many people who go into the lake have been eaten by it. Now the rumors are getting more and more bizarre. Some say it even comes ashore and eats children. These are actually rumors. How could a water monster dare to come ashore? If it did, there are so many of us with our big guns, we can just knock it over!"

Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu understood.

"Are you afraid of being eaten by a water monster if you sit by the window?"

The young man touched his nose awkwardly but did not deny it.

"Sir, there are people who are not afraid. Look, there are people sitting by the window. They are the timid ones! Of course, if you two are more particular, you can sit closer here. There is also room for you."

Jiang Lianzhu picked a table by the window with the widest visual range and sat down. "No, this place is fine. This is it."

You can see the beautiful lakeside scenery.

Liao Jiu also sat down. "Hey, bring up all your signature dishes. I remember your whitebait tastes especially good..."

His wife had never eaten fresh Datang Lake whitebait, so she took this opportunity to try it.

The waiter rubbed his hands together and said, "Sir, there haven't been any whitebait in Datang Lake lately. They've been eaten by water monsters. Right now, our restaurant specializes in steamed crabs, crab legs with vermicelli noodles, garlic shrimp, crystal shrimp balls, and other dishes. I guarantee they're all delicious. We also have a small amount of braised fish roe, which is also a must-try. What do you think?"

Jiang Lianzhu was easy to talk to. "Okay, no need to be picky. Everyone come up."

The waiter went downstairs to serve the dishes.

There were several tables of diners eating in the hall. When they saw that Jiang Lianzhu and his wife dared to sit by the window, they just looked at them for a few more times and then continued eating.

Not paying much attention.

Handsome men and beautiful women are certainly pleasing to the eyes, but in the world of foodies, food is still more delicious.

While waiting for the food to be served, Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu looked around at the environment outside.

There is a leisure wooden boardwalk built beside the lake. Usually there should be many people there to enjoy the lake view, but now there is no one there.

There are many pavilions built by the lake, but there is no one in them.

There are large signs at the entrances of some plank roads. Jiang Lianzhu has good eyesight and saw from a distance that there are signs saying there is a water monster in the lake, so don’t play by the lake if you don’t have anything to do!

Some houses near the lake seem to have been vacated...

It seems that they have been harassed by water monsters a lot.

After a while, their dishes came up. They were all signature dishes, which were not cheap and the way they were served was also quite special.

A young man was responsible for beating gongs and drums, while two men wearing clothes with fish patterns lifted a fish-shaped sedan chair to serve the dishes!

The fish-shaped sedan chair landed next to Jiang Lianzhu and her friends' table, and the waiter beating the drum announced the dishes.

"Welcome to our Tingcheng Restaurant. Our signature dish has arrived: steamed large crab and crab legs with vermicelli..."

Full of ritual sense.

When ordering signature dishes, you have to beat drums and gongs.

Jiang Lianzhu found it quite interesting to watch, which is probably one of the characteristics of Tingcheng Flavor House.

As a result, the people eating around them looked at Jiang Lianzhu and the others like they were fools.
