Chapter 274 Undercover Contact
After Lin Ting kept a normal distance from him, his heartbeat gradually calmed down. Especially when Lin Ting looked as if nothing had happened, he felt as if he had just dreamed and her active approach was like an illusion.
But her approach may not be because of love, but just normal contact between friends.
Contact is a good thing.
He touched his face awkwardly, "Really? I guess it's because I was hot after getting off the bus."
"It's not that I don't want to offend anyone. I'm just telling the truth." Si Chen said this and strode towards the village entrance.
"Senior, don't be angry. I didn't mean to say anything to you. Please wait for me. I can't catch up." Lin Ting strode after Si Chen's back.
Hearing this, Si Chen unconsciously slowed down his pace.
After asking around, the two found a game restaurant hidden in the village.
This game restaurant is located in a farmer's house in a small alley. There are several iron tables and stools in the rural courtyard. There is also a barbecue grill on the table, which is probably used for barbecue at night. There are also a few tables in the room, which are probably just ordinary dining tables.
There was a staircase in the corner of the room. Lin Ting saw with his own eyes someone carrying a pot of cooked food from the kitchen and walking towards the second floor.
I guess there are private rooms specially set up on the second floor. After all, the food is for rich people, and we can't let them eat in this big yard.
There was a strong smell of blood in the yard, probably left by the disposal of animal carcasses.
Lin Ting looked around and covered his nose in disgust. "What's that smell? It's so bad?"
"It's hot in the summer, I guess it's the smell left over from processing the ingredients," a young woman came out. The woman was wearing high heels, a floral dress, and had fashionable big wavy hair. She looked at Lin Ting and Si Chen with a scrutinizing look.
"Is this your first time here?" the woman asked again.
Si Chen nodded in response to the woman. "A friend recommended us here. He said you can eat things you can't find on the market, and they're quite delicious. So I thought of bringing my friend here to try it. My friend is rich. What delicious food do you have here?"
Si Chen knew that Lin Ting was wearing high-end fashion, so he wanted to see if these people could recognize these brands.
When Si Chen said the following words, he deliberately moved closer to the proprietress and spoke in a low voice.
Hearing this, the proprietress looked at Lin Ting twice.
The girl seems to be dressed in ordinary clothes, but the fabric is not ordinary at all, and is no less expensive than the big gold chains worn by those bosses.
The proprietress took out her cell phone, secretly took a photo of Lin Ting, and started searching online for the clothes Lin Ting was wearing. She was shocked to find that they were the new models of a big brand that season. Any one of them cost tens of thousands of yuan. Anyone who dared to wear them like that was definitely not an ordinary person.
Even though she knew the other party was wealthy, the proprietress didn't explain directly to the first-time visitors. "Please come in, this is our menu. Take a look at what you'd like to eat. We have pheasants and rabbits freshly hunted from the mountains, grasshoppers, cicadas, and monkeys, as well as wild frogs and eels caught from the fields."
“Most of the vegetables are also wild.”
Lin Ting glanced at the menu, then glanced at Si Chen, and said disdainfully, "This is the place you brought me to. You said there were some game you couldn't get anywhere else. What's so special about these things? My housekeeper is from the countryside and often brings them back for my grandfather to eat. He's no longer a fan of them."
"My grandpa's birthday is in a week, and I want to get something that his grandpa has never eaten. Forget it, I'd better look for it somewhere else."
"If not, then let's change. I heard there's a game restaurant somewhere else. Maybe you can find something different you want there." Si Chen left a word and followed immediately.
The proprietress heard every word of their conversation.
The boss lady was a little suspicious of the two men at first, but after hearing what they said, she knew at a glance that they were big customers.
The proprietress came out quickly in high heels.
Lin Ting and Si Chen deliberately slowed down their pace. The proprietress caught up with them as soon as they reached the door. "Please stay. From the way you sound, you seem to be looking for some wild game you haven't eaten much before. You seem quite anxious. I wonder what you're looking for. Perhaps I can help."
Just as Lin Ting was about to speak, the proprietress looked around and pulled Lin Ting towards the yard. "Walls have ears. Let's go inside and have a cup of tea and talk slowly. I'm sure I can satisfy you, young lady."
Lin Ting did not follow in immediately. He seemed to be thinking. After a moment, he finally raised his feet and returned to the yard.
Lin Ting didn't hide anything and went straight to the point, "Boss, didn't you say you only had pheasants and rabbits here?"
"Is there anything good that hasn't been brought out yet?"
"Usually, we only have pheasants and rabbits. These are everywhere in the mountains here, and many villagers will catch them and send them to our game restaurant. As for other things that are not easy to sell, we basically don't look for them, but if customers need them, we can also find them. I just heard the little girl say that she wants to celebrate her grandfather's birthday. I wonder what kind of game she is looking for? We can help you."
I’m afraid that some things are not unavailable, but they are not sold to outsiders because you are not a long-term customer of our store.
After all, those are national protected animals. Once reported by someone, they will be sentenced, so these people are extremely cautious when selling them.
If she hadn't deliberately pretended to be rich, the proprietress wouldn't have exposed herself so quickly.
The proprietress kept observing Lin Ting and Si Chen.
Lin Ting did not give an immediate answer. He stroked the cup of tea as if thinking, but he did not drink a single sip of the water in the cup.
"When he was young, the old man liked to eat wild game. Even now that he's older, he still hasn't changed this habit. He's already tired of eating ordinary pheasants. I heard that golden pheasants are expensive and delicious. I wonder if the boss lady can get some."
"The old man ate it somewhere else once before and still can't forget it. I've looked in many places, but they all say they can't get it. If the boss lady can't find it here, I can only ask at the last two remaining places. If they still can't find it, I'll just have to give up."
"If I can find this, the old man can give me a lot of pocket money."
"Don't worry, Madam Boss, if you help me find it, I'll pay you double the price. My family is not short of money, and my main purpose is to make the old man happy."
The proprietress seemed to be considering the credibility of what Lin had heard.
Lin Ting pretended to be calm and held the teacup. If her grandfather knew that she had spread rumors about him outside, not only would her pocket money be cut off, but her credit card would also be blocked.
There was no other way, she was just trying to find out some information.
"By the way, it's okay if we don't have golden pheasants or peregrine falcons, this stew is pretty good. By the way, do you only have dead animals here? Can you give me some living things to raise, like foxes or something like that?"
