Saturday morning was a rare good day with no rain and not too hot.
Li Shou drove to Fengdu and lined up to buy tickets at the foot of Beiyuan Mountain without looking around.
Last time, he and Wang Xiaoxiao died together and were driven away by seven people halfway up the mountain. Wang Xiaoxiao had to leave because of other live broadcast tasks and only came back to play once or twice a month.
Li Shouze didn't leave and lined up again, starting over.
He has been staying here for several months in a row, and the rooms booked in Fengdu Hotel are almost all his. Many friends have been asking him what he has been doing recently and why he doesn't come out to play.
They didn't know that Li Shou had a lot of fun playing every day. He had never played such a fun game before.
Although the game format is simple, the opponents are different, and you have to use different methods to win. There is always a sense of freshness, and competing with others is endless fun.
I heard that there is a real-life online game in Bingxue Shengjing, which is a survival game. Li Shou is also very interested in it. He has already noted it down and will go to play it as soon as he wins the championship in Beiyuan Mountain.
When Li Shou plays games, he must be the winner.
Fortunately, he has now climbed back to the halfway point. On the top of the mountain are still the people who defeated him and Wang Xiaoxiao before, but now there are only four left, known as the Four Heavenly Kings, and the other three have been eliminated.
While waiting in line, Li Shou was thinking about today's game plan, whether to collect resources first or launch a sneak attack first. This was all psychological warfare, no empty talk.
As he was thinking about it, he discovered that there were fewer people queuing up at Beiyuan Mountain today than usual.
Although the queues were still huge compared to other amusement parks, Li Shou had been waiting in line for several months and could immediately see the difference.
He frowned, wondering if Beiyuan Mountain had become obsolete. But then he felt it was impossible. He wasn't bragging, he'd played so many games, even participated in real-person battles several times. If he hadn't had enough, how could others have?
Or is it that there is something wrong with the road today and tourists can't get through?
But there’s only one road from Yaoguang City to Fengdu. He just drove here and everything was fine…
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone next to me say to his friend: "Hey, I'm so greedy after seeing the photos they posted. Why don't we go to the river first? We can come back after we finish eating. Then we don't have to eat at noon and can play until the afternoon!"
His friend hesitated, "But the Yihe place is open today, there must be a lot of people..."
The man continued to persuade: "There are quite a few people here, what are you afraid of? The queues in Fengdu are very fast anyway."
His friend thought for a moment and said, "Let's go!"
The two of them walked away together. Li Shou looked around again and found that this situation was not an exception.
He was a little curious. A new scene in Fengdu? A river... What a strange name! Calling it a dragon would sound better...
After searching online, I found out that this is actually a barbecue street.
Barbecue, hot pot... I'm really greedy.
Li Shou had all three meals a day in Fengdu during this period. He ate at the hotel in the morning, and went to small restaurants or the vegetarian street for lunch and dinner. It had been a long time since he had eaten smoky barbecue.
Thinking about it, he simply put one hand in his pocket, went to the food street first, and came back after eating.
He's progressing very quickly in the game, so delaying it for an hour or so is no big deal!
Next to the Qingshun River, the originally quiet and desolate river channel is now crowded with people, and the bustling atmosphere is filled with the smell of life.
The design of this snack street is very interesting: there is an antique archway at the entrance, and on the blue plaque are large gold-plated characters - Yitiaohe Food Street.
If this is no different from other food streets, there is another "thing" on the plaque that is very conspicuous.
There is a living dragon wrapped around the plaque.
The ink-blue dragon's body coiled above the plaque, its scales gleaming in the sun. One of its huge eyes was closed, while the other was always watching the crowd's movements.
The tail occasionally wags a few times, which looks strangely boring.
Occasionally, a tourist would accidentally look up and exclaim in surprise, and then smile knowingly: Fengdu actually placed a naked-eye hologram in such an inconspicuous place. It turns out to be the Fengdu that spares no expense for details and a sense of immersion.
In reality, this dragon was a Jiaolong. He had hidden his claws and horns, otherwise anyone with a little knowledge would have seen that he was still far from a dragon.
He came today to check on the place. After all, it was his friends' first day of business, and he would feel uneasy if he didn't keep an eye on it.
Li Shou took a casual look. He was used to the holographic scenes that could be seen everywhere in Fengdu, and he also admired Fengdu's generosity.
Entering from the entrance, it feels like entering some kind of barrier. There is no smell outside, but the air inside is filled with the aroma of barbecue hot pot.
Li Shou was not hungry when he came, but now his mouth is watering when he smells it.
I don’t know how long the entire snack street is, but the floor is paved with bluestone bricks and is kept spotlessly clean, without any garbage at all. I don’t know how it is maintained.
Looking at the riverside again, a transparent mist separates the snack street and Qingshun River. This mist is not just a decoration, but a transparent wall that blocks the way. Not to mention people, even garbage cannot be thrown through.
It sounds fantastical, but tourists in Fengdu are used to it.
In the past, undeveloped areas of Fengdu were surrounded by this kind of air wall. It is said to be the most advanced magnetic wall technology, specially made to look like white mist.
Looking at the clear Qingshun River through the white fog, the scenery is also very beautiful, hazy and dreamy.
On one side is beautiful scenery and on the other side is delicious food.
Li Shou withdrew his gaze and looked at the roadside snack stall.
These food stalls are food carts made from Hsinchu bamboo. The bamboo skin is still green and exudes the fragrance of bamboo. It is clean and smells good.
The guys setting up stalls have different looks, but without exception they all wear masks, gloves and head covers, and the commonly used utensils are also washed clean and free of grease.
Although Li Shou had a filter for Fengdu, he had to admit that this scene dispelled his doubts.
He silently made a tick in his mind, well, the hygiene is acceptable.
Next comes the taste.
He looked towards the nearest food stall and saw the words "Night Owl BBQ" written in large letters on the sign.
Seeing him stop, Lao Mao greeted him warmly: "Brother, come and eat something. If it's not delicious, it's free!"
On the charcoal fire in front of him, the lamb skewers were sizzling, and oil dripped onto the red charcoal, making a puff sound and bursting with fragrance.
Li Shou swallowed silently and walked over: "Ten skewers of lamb and one skewer of grilled chicken wings." He thought it was a good idea. He had to eat something else next, so he couldn't order too much at the beginning.
"Okay!" Old Cat agreed, took the skewers and started grilling them with swift movements.
Then he asked, "Brother, do you want spicy chicken wings or honey-glazed ones? I recommend the honey-glazed ones. Everyone who has tried them says they are good."
Li Shou hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and saw a bowl of honey placed beside the seasoning. The golden honey liquid was trembling slightly in the bowl, and the sugar crystals sank to the bottom of the bowl, looking transparent and lovely. When he got close, he could smell a faint sweet fragrance and some kind of floral scent.
Li Shou was shocked. His mother liked to drink honey for beauty, and she would spend a lot of money to have it air-shipped from abroad every year. They said it was organic honey, but it looked not as good as the one used for barbecue in Fengdu.
He asked, "Master, are you selling this honey?"
The old cat waved his hand and said, "Well, what are you selling? If you want to eat it, I'll give you a box."
Business is really good today. Although it is only the first day of opening, Lao Mao has a premonition that he will make a lot of money in the future, so he will naturally not be stingy with customers.
He found a small disposable box for sauce, filled a small box and handed it over.
Li Shou wanted to say that this is not what he meant, but he was too late because he had finished grilling the skewers.
The lamb skewers were sprinkled with chili and cumin. Even after being taken off the charcoal fire, the bubbling oil was still roasting the spices, making the aroma even more intense.
Li Shou took it and couldn't wait to take a bite. His eyes widened. This is - too delicious!
The mutton is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavor of the spices is completely integrated into the meat. The teeth squeeze the meat fibers, the skin is crispy, and the meat is juicy and fragrant. The complex aroma makes people start to reflect on what they ate before.
The old cat saw his surprised expression and said proudly, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Li Shou didn't have time to answer, he just gave a thumbs up, amazing!
Lao Mao took off his gloves and patted his chest. "Don't worry about our Fengdu barbecue. It's delicious and clean. Walk this street from beginning to end. If you say no, I'll give you your money back!"
Li Shou finished the skewers in two or three bites and then began to regret that he had eaten too fast. But there was nothing he could do. With that skewer in his hand, who could resist eating it in one bite?
Fortunately, there are grilled chicken wings.
The chicken wings are golden in color, and the fat-rich chicken skin has been roasted until only a thin layer remains. It is not greasy, but has a smoky aroma.
Li Shou took a big bite.
The chicken skin was crispy and the chicken meat was chewy, but the first thing he noticed was the layer of honey brushed on the surface.
This honey has a sweet taste with a hint of floral fragrance and an indescribable aroma, which blends very well with the chicken wings.
Li Shou was stunned while eating. He suddenly thought that after he had visited Beiyuan Mountain and enjoyed the spectacular ice and snow scenery, he would not be able to eat these skewers anymore.
How about moving the family to Yaoguang City? He began to think seriously about it.
After finishing the chicken wings, he touched his stomach and gritted his teeth, "Give me two more skewers... No, five skewers of chicken wings!"
He gritted his teeth and thought, worst case scenario, he could just take some digestive pills when he got home!
At this time, Gu Wang was also checking the situation in the barbecue street, accompanied by Lu Wu, Ji Shen, Yujiang and Cheng Leyou.
Needless to say, Lu Wu followed Gu Wang's business.
Jishen is an old idle god. Anyway, he is a wandering NPC. As long as he does not leave Fengdu, it doesn’t matter where he is caught. He can just disguise himself a little and go out.
Although Yujiang has his own exclusive scene, he is the God of Winter after all. Although he is just an incarnation, it is enough to devote a little of his mind to him.
What he likes most is to see more of the current appearance of the human race. He doesn't know where this addiction comes from.
A few people came to the barbecue street and found that there was a TV station broadcasting live at the door. Gu Wang looked closely and found that it was China News Network again, and the live reporter was the same one who stopped Zong Yang at the beginning.
Cheng Leyou whispered, "There was no backdoor involved. Huaxia News Network actually got the live broadcast opportunity."
When the barbecue street opened, there were no less than dozens of media outlets and video websites that wanted exclusive live broadcast authorization. Cheng Leyou was so smart that it simply let everyone bid.
Anyway, given Fengdu's current size, no one dares to act recklessly.
In the end, China News Network grabbed the live broadcast rights by relying on the wealth and power of "someone behind it".
Gu Wang nodded, and while the reporters weren't noticing him, he turned and walked into the barbecue street.
The reporter on the other side was still excited. "Everyone, please look at our counter. So far, the snack street has already reached 30,000 people! Remember, it's been less than an hour since we opened!"
“Let’s wait and see how many people there are in a day, and whether it will exceed 100,000 people!”
The comments echoed her excitement, and suddenly someone commented, "Look behind! It's Director Gu! Miss reporter, go catch them!"
The reporter quickly turned around and saw Gu Wang disappear into the crowd. He stamped his feet in frustration and said, "I can't catch up!"
However, just by taking this photo of the back, the number of people watching the live broadcast actually increased a little.
The main reason is that Gu Wang would show up in the past, but now that Fengdu is becoming more and more famous, he has gradually disappeared. Many new fans want to see this legendary young principal who has exquisite looks, handsomeness and talent.
As soon as Gu Wang entered the snack street, he saw that every stall was crowded with people, and people walking on the street were holding various foods in their hands.
Many people took their first bite and their faces turned dreamy. The translation of that expression is probably: Wow? Can skewers be this delicious?
Gu Wang also heard a skinny girl stuffing meat into her mouth and crying, "I used to think barbecue was just a pile of seasonings, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious! It's so delicious! My anorexia is almost cured!"
Her parents beside her looked distressed, "My daughter loves to eat. Let's come here every day to eat. As long as you can eat, you can eat as much as you want!"
The girl nodded fiercely and bit off a piece of meat fiercely.
Gu Wang smiled. This girl really came to the right place. There were many spiritual ingredients on the barbecue street that could really cure diseases.
After walking a few steps forward, I saw Li Shou standing in front of the spicy crayfish stall, muttering to himself, "I can still eat more, let me eat some more..."
The stall owner was so frightened that he covered his pot and said, "Customer, you really can't eat any more. You've already eaten four pounds of crayfish! And Lao Mao told me that you also ate a lot of grilled chicken wings!"
Li Shou's eyes were full of crayfish, and he didn't realize how the two stalls, which were so far apart, could transmit the message, and the message was about an ordinary customer.
He said painfully: "But it's really delicious..."
The stall owner said earnestly: "Even if it tastes good, you can't eat it like this. Otherwise, you can come back tomorrow, or come back in the afternoon. We are open until the evening!"
Li Shou left in a daze. It didn't feel like he was full, but rather that he was facing a life crisis.
He regretted it so much, truly regretted it. If he hadn't eaten that last skewer of grilled chicken wings, he could have had an extra three or two ounces of crayfish... maybe he could have tried the grilled oysters and hot pot later, but now, it was all gone...
Li Shou was sad.
Gu Wangxin said what kind of stupid customers these were, and praised the stall owner, "Well done, you put the customers' health first."
The stall owner stood at attention: "Yes! Don't worry, we are all paying attention!"
A few people continued to walk in, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "Watermelon! Fresh thin-skinned big watermelon! Two yuan a pound——"
Pushing through the crowd, I saw the man setting up the stall fanning himself with a straw hat, his hair standing on end, a fierce look on his face, his skin very tanned, a towel draped around his neck, dressed formally like a melon farmer.
There was an electronic scale in front of him, and next to him was a white cart covered with fresh vines, which was beautiful and unique.
The trunk of the car was open, and it was filled with green-skinned watermelons. Each one was round, and with a light tap, they would split in the middle, revealing a thin green skin and bright red flesh. The stems were still fresh, and water would come out when pinched. If they were not picked today, they would not be so fresh and tender.
There were a lot of people gathered in front of the stall, each taking half and the other half, and soon several were sold.
The stall owner took one out from the back box, and another one rolled out, and the whole pile of melons did not decrease.
A few young people who came together came forward and bought a whole watermelon. Without waiting for the stall owner to help them, they reached out to pick it up. Unexpectedly, they accidentally hit it on the scale and the watermelon split into four pieces on the spot.
A few people exclaimed "Wow" and shared the food with laughter. They didn't even bother to wipe the juice off their faces and kept shouting that it was so sweet.
Cheng Leyou looked at it and nodded, saying, "This watermelon monster is pretty good. It has brains, and the car is decorated in a unique way."
When he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at him.
Cheng Leyou: "What, what's wrong? Am I wrong? Isn't that the car decorated by him?"
Gu Wang had a complicated expression. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the watermelon vendor raise his eyebrows, throw down his towel and stand up. "Who are you calling the watermelon monster? Who are you talking about? Come out right here!"
Cheng Leyou was bewildered. "Tell me, tell me... If it's not a watermelon demon, could it be a pumpkin demon?"
He did know that to grow watermelons well, they had to be grafted onto pumpkins...
The stall owner was so angry that his scalp was smoking. He shouted, "Bullshit! I am a demon! Who said that people who sell watermelons are watermelon demons! You are a demon, how can you sell people?"
Cheng Leyou: “…”
No, that's not what shemale means, right?
However, before he could refute, the tourists over there burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, you evil beast! Hahaha! Have you ever been fucked by Runtu? Hahaha——"
"Don't laugh, I can testify that he's a bastard monster. I saw him when I was studying at Sanwei Academy. He had carved the word 'early morning' on the rind of a melon... Phew... Sorry, I can't go on..."
"I'm a demon selling melons, right in the Ganges?"
"Then you can't go into the river anymore. It's even worse than the Qingshun River. Hahaha..."
The wild beast: “…”
He sat back down silently and said gloomily, "Watermelon, a big watermelon with a thick skin that's not sweet, two dollars and twenty cents a pound!"
The crowd was silent for a moment, then burst into even louder laughter.
They know that every NPC and even every staff member in Fengdu has a personality.
For example, at the entrance to the barbecue street, the owner of Night Owl BBQ will point upwards if you ask him, “Night Owl BBQ, I’m the owl demon!”
But they didn't expect that an NPC selling melons could be so funny. What the hell was going on? He raised the price on the spot, and he only raised it by two cents. He must be a monster from Fengdu!
Gu Wang and the others also tried to hold back their laughter. They asked Cheng Leyou to apologize to Zhua Yao and told him clearly that they could not raise the price at will.
Seeing that the hair of the evil civet monster didn’t even stand up, the tourists felt sorry for it and insisted on buying it for two dollars and twenty cents!
You should know that Yaoguang City is not the place where watermelons are produced. Ordinary watermelons in supermarkets are three or four yuan per pound, and they may not be as fresh and delicious as this one!
The tourists kept arguing with each other to prove the reasonableness of the prices, which made Gu Wang helpless. He thought that even though he saved them money, they were still not happy.
The melon stall is placed in the middle of the snack street, and further ahead is the hot pot area.
Gu Wang suddenly remembered something, smiled sideways, and whispered, "Do you want to go eat hot pot?"
Lu Wu lowered his head slightly, turned sideways, put his ear close to his mouth, and whispered in response amid the noisy crowd.
After hearing this, I laughed, "Is it the same as the hot pot we had that day? Then can I eat spicy food?"
Gu Wang smiled, "Of course not."
Lu Wu also laughed.
The people behind them looked at each other, feeling that there was something different between these two people...
There were also a lot of people in the hot pot area, but the difference was that each person had a small pot on the table and could choose whatever dishes they wanted.
Under each table, there is a carved red pipe with red flames coming out of it.
One tourist scooped up a handful of greens with chopsticks, took a bite, and gasped, "Isn't this delicious? It has that kind of indescribable taste. This dish looks like an ordinary dish, but is the base of the pot different from the outside?"
The person next to him nodded silently: "I think so too. I just threw in some leftover instant noodles from the train, and they were delicious after cooking! I suspect it's not just the soup base, but also the fire..."
Yujiang over there widened his eyes slightly, "This fire is..."
Gu Wang made a gesture to silence him and asked him to look forward.
At the end of the snack street, there was a carved stone platform with a red divine bone floating on it.
Under the stone platform, there are countless red pipes connecting to each table.
Gu Wang whispered, "I discovered that the divine fire of the divine bone can refine impurities in food, which is beneficial to ordinary people. So I set up this formation to atone for its sins. Some time ago, its energy leaked, and many farmlands were completely destroyed."
Yujiang looked at the divine bone that was being imprisoned and drained of its power and laughed heartily. "Young friend Gu, you did a great job. I'm so happy! How about I do something too? Does your snack street need a snowy scene?"
Gu Wang smiled and said, "I couldn't ask for more."
So, the tourists who were concentrating on eating discovered that it was suddenly snowing in the snack street, along with the Qingshun River next to it.
The small hexagonal snowflakes falling down are simply beautiful when paired with the barbecue and hot pot on hand.
The live broadcast of China News Network also ended in this snowy scene. It turns out that the most beautiful thing is the fireworks of life.
Not to mention that the live broadcast of the grand opening was a huge hit online, and the number of visitors on the first day not only exceeded 100,000, but even reached 200,000, and finally reached a peak of 220,000. Needless to say,
Fans: Fuck it, fuck it! (Proud)
What netizens talked about the most was that three days later, when the popularity of the barbecue street had not yet died down, it was even on the financial channel again!
Fengdu and the financial channel don’t seem to be related at all!
This is even further away than Fengdu and the Agricultural Channel! Netizens began to dig into how the two were connected.
It turned out that it was Mr. Li Defa, the richest man in a certain province, who was being interviewed. The reporter was an old acquaintance of his and joked that he looked much better recently and asked if he had a new project.
Mr. Li was very honest and said that he had not made any big moves recently. He looked in good spirits because his wife forced him to drink honey water. The honey water was better than any he had ever tasted before. It was sent back by his son after he played outside. It was said to be a hundred-flower honey produced in Fengdu.
The old man is quite proud that his son is thinking about them even when he is playing outside!
Netizens were quite confused: What? Fengdu has Hundred Flower Honey? How come they don’t know!
Everyone here knows everything about Fengdu by heart, so where does this hundred-flower honey come from?
Everyone dug it up again and again, and finally Li Shou couldn't stand it anymore and posted a photo.
That photo is clearly a barbecue street, even more clearly a night owl barbecue, and even more clearly a honey bowl in the condiment section...
So, the honey water that the province's richest man drinks every day is the barbecue seasoning they eat every day?
It’s not even an ingredient, it’s just a seasoning!
This is even worse than soaking instant noodle seasoning in water!
Everyone joked that Mr. Li was being cheated by his son.
Li Shou couldn't help but reply, "It's delicious. If you don't believe me, go try it."
That’s true, just give it a try.
On that day, some people couldn't help but run to Fengdu and specifically ordered honey-grilled wings, asking for more honey... After eating, these people were stunned.
Is this the taste of honey?
This is what honey tastes like!
Moreover, these people were broadcasting live, so they definitely couldn’t act out those expressions.
Seeing Fengdu honey on the hot search, netizens were calm. The barbecue opening honey on the hot search must be the Fengdu they are familiar with.
only……
Die-hard fans cried out heartbreakingly: "Fengdu, next time you have a surprise like this, can you please put it out in the open? Is it fun to let us find it on our own? Can you bear it?"
Gu Wang was puzzled. "Why are you so reluctant? Even before we found the Hundred Flower Honey, I didn't see you skipping a single bite. Thousands of unrestrained tourists are persuaded to leave the barbecue street every day. Everyone should take care of their health."
Fans: QAQ;
Fans: Stop cursing, stop cursing, can’t we just bring some digestive pills next time?
Gu Wang:?
The author has something to say:
Master Gu (opening the dictionary): Is there something wrong with my expression? Thank you to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution between 2022-07-29 22:30:08 and 2022-07-30 12:41:09——
