"I'll be back to Jiahe tomorrow," Xu Jiacheng was talking to his wife Zhao Mingfang in the hotel room. "They are a young couple. They look very young. It's hard to believe that their level is better than those decades-old teachers."

"But Wang Zhi and his son both sounded very confident. Yesterday, I asked a friend in Jiangcheng, Anhui Province, about this teacher Zhou. I heard that he is quite capable and a responsible person."

"Well, it didn't cost much, I just gave a little gift. I didn't take the opportunity to spend money recklessly! I've already issued an invoice, I'll give it to you when I get back!"

"He accepted the gift, but seemed very reluctant. I persuaded him for a long time, and he must have figured out what I meant. I don't know if Mr. Zhou is willing, but since he has accepted the gift and spent the money, he will probably agree."

"I've said what I need to say, and I've done what I need to do. I'll just do my best and leave the rest to fate! I got a call from Teacher Zhou. I guess he has an answer for me. That's it. I won't say any more for now."

After saying goodbye to his wife Zhao Mingfang, Xu Jiacheng answered the call and put on an enthusiastic and cheerful voice, "Hello, Teacher Zhou? Why haven't you rested yet so late? What's the matter?"

"Ah! Okay, okay! I really don't know how to thank you, Mr. Zhou! Thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip. I'm so sorry to have delayed your trip!"

After hearing Zhou Yu's reply on the phone, Xu Jiacheng was very excited. He first thanked him and then apologized, which made Zhou Yu on the other end of the phone feel a little embarrassed.

"Then Mr. Zhou, how about we leave for Jiahe early tomorrow morning? Of course, if you feel that you can't get up in the morning, we can leave later. Or if you feel that you want to play in Ludao for another day or two, we can stay a little longer... ah, then OK! Please send me your and Mr. Qiao's identity information, and I will ask my assistant to book the tickets!"

......

On the flight leaving Lu Island, Zhou Yu's heart began to rise as he looked out the window at the ant-sized buildings. He quickly turned his head away, closed his eyes, and began to rest, no longer looking out the window.

The distance between Ludao and Jiahe is much closer than the distance between Zhou Yu’s hometown Xiangcheng and Ludao.

Xu Jiacheng took Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao on the plane at 9 a.m. and arrived in Hangzhou around noon.

After getting off the plane, the driver who had been waiting at the airport saw Xu Jiacheng and hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and wanted to take the luggage from Xu Jiacheng.

"No, just help Teacher Zhou and the others with their luggage," Xu Jiacheng stepped aside to avoid the driver's hand and said, "Teacher Zhou and the others have a lot of luggage, so go help Teacher Zhou's girlfriend, Teacher Qiao, first. She's a lesbian, so it will be difficult for her to carry the luggage when she gets on the bus later."

Zhou Yu originally thought that Xu Jiacheng would take them to Jiahe without stopping, but he didn't expect that after getting in the car, Xu Jiacheng directly told the driver, "Take us to the city to eat something first, and then we will go directly back to Jiahe."

After instructing the driver, Xu Jiacheng turned to Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng and explained, "It's getting late now. Although Jiahe is close to Hangzhou, the journey is still about an hour. The food on the plane is just so-so, like chicken ribs, tasteless and a pity to throw away, it's just barely enough to fill your stomach."

"Although there isn't much good food in Hangzhou, it's still much better than airplane food anyway. Let's just have a meal in Hangzhou to fill our stomachs. After lunch, we'll set off back to Jiahe. When we get to Jiahe, you and Qiao can have a rest first. My wife, my son and I will pick you up at dinner time to welcome you back."

"It's okay, Boss Xu. You can make the arrangements." Zhou Yu had no objection to Xu Jiacheng's arrangements. Instead, what Xu Jiacheng just said aroused Zhou Yu's curiosity. "I remember Zhejiang cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines. As the capital of Zhejiang Province, there shouldn't be nothing delicious, right?"

"And, if I remember correctly, isn't there a particularly famous dish in Hangzhou?"

Qiao Meng answered, "West Lake Vinegar Fish! I heard that the cooking method of this dish is very unusual? And the taste is very unique."

"Haha! Although Zhejiang cuisine is indeed one of the eight major cuisines, it's true that there's nothing delicious in Hangzhou," Xu Jiacheng explained with a smile, "As for the West Lake Vinegar Fish, if Teacher Zhou is interested, we can go to the Ziwei Hall of the West Lake State Guesthouse to eat it now."

Zhou Yu looked at Xu Jiacheng and asked curiously, "West Lake State Guesthouse Ziwei Hall? The West Lake Vinegar Fish here is authentic and delicious? Didn't I hear that Louwailou makes the most authentic one?"

"Hmm..." Xu Jiacheng was silent for a moment, "The one made at Louwailou might be the most authentic, right? But the taste is hard to describe. If I were to recommend it, I'd still recommend going to the Ziwei Hall at the West Lake State Guesthouse to eat this famous Hangzhou dish."

"However, if Teacher Zhou really wants to eat at Louwailou, then we can go."

...

...

Building outside the building.

Seeing Zhou Yu swallowing a chopstick of vinegar-colored fish meat with difficulty, Xu Jiacheng suppressed his laughter and advised gently, "Teacher Zhou, if you really can't eat it, just spit it out and eat something else. The squirrel mandarin fish next to you tastes pretty good."

After hearing what Xu Jiacheng said, Zhou Yu couldn't hold it in any longer and immediately opened his mouth and vomited.

As soon as Zhou Yu took a bite of the West Lake Vinegar Fish, he had only one feeling in his heart.

fishy.

A fishy smell rushed directly to the top of Zhou Yu's head. What's more, it was not just a simple earthy smell, but also an unpleasant smell of simply processed vinegar mixed with the fishy smell. Zhou Yu didn't know how to describe it at all.

Yes, it was like the smell of stinky feet that had been fermenting for three days mixed with body odor. This kind of magical damage that directly hit the soul was something Zhou Yu could not tolerate no matter what.

Not only this West Lake vinegar fish, but also the West Lake water shield soup and Longjing shrimp are all so disgustingly unpalatable.

Zhou Yu picked up the tea beside him and rinsed his mouth. He smiled bitterly and said to Xu Jiacheng, "Boss Xu, now I really believe it. West Lake vinegar fish is really unpalatable."
