Chapter 149 - River Fish Hall

Driving on the main road of the county town, Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi kept looking outside.

They were trying to see if there was any restaurant with distinctive characteristics.

“Li Han, you run a hotel, don’t you know anything about the special restaurants in the county town?” Chen Yang, sitting in the back seat, asked while looking outside.

Li Han concentrated on driving.

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s question, she replied, “I do know some, but I think the special restaurants here are pretty average in taste, not even as good as Lintianxia Hotel.”

Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

“Of course, your Lintianxia Hotel is considered the best hotel in the whole county.

Who can compare with the dishes at Lintianxia Hotel?”

“Haha, since that’s the case, why don’t we just go to Lintianxia?” Li Han also laughed, then said this.

Before Chen Yang could say anything, Yang Ruoxi, sitting in the passenger seat, immediately shook her head and refused!

“No way!

Eating at Lintianxia would be so boring!

It’s no different from eating at home!” Yang Ruoxi pouted as she spoke.

“Haha, I think Ruoxi is right, it’s rare for us all to come out and eat together.

Let’s skip Lintianxia.” Chen Yang agreed.

Seeing both of them saying this, Li Han did not insist any further.

“Then you tell me where, basically, all the noteworthy places in the whole county aren’t special.” Li Han said.

Yang Ruoxi was silent for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up, “I just remembered a place!

The food there tastes pretty good!

I just don’t know if you guys will like it.”

“Where?”

Chen Yang moved his head between the two women and asked.

Yang Ruoxi turned her head to look at Chen Yang, and her face immediately went slightly red.

Because when Chen Yang leaned forward, she turned her head and was very close to him.

Feeling the male scent coming from Chen Yang, she felt a bit shy.

“On the outskirts of the west side of the town, there’s a river fish restaurant; their river fish are exceptionally delicious.

Last time I happened to pass by, I tried it,” said Yang Ruoxi, her face blushing.

“Really?

Then let’s give it a try.”

Chen Yang did not notice the blush on Yang Ruoxi’s face and, seeing her suggest it, immediately agreed to try it.

“Okay, let’s go then.”

Since Yang Ruoxi and Chen Yang had agreed, Li Han naturally had nothing more to say.

After finding a spot to turn the car around, she headed towards the western outskirts as Yang Ruoxi had suggested.

The small county wasn’t very big, and after a few minutes, they arrived in the west side of the town.

And under Yang Ruoxi’s guidance, the car pulled up in front of a house by the roadside in the outskirts.

“This is the place.” Seeing the standalone house, Yang Ruoxi indicated that this was it.

So, Li Han parked the car, and the three of them got out together.

“Caiyun Fresh Fish Restaurant!” Getting out of the car and seeing the large sign installed on the house, Chen Yang subconsciously read it aloud.

At the same time, he also looked around the vicinity.

Chen Yang observed that the decoration of this Caiyun Fresh Fish Restaurant wasn’t very impressive, just average.

But judging from the large number of cars parked at the front plaza, it seemed like the restaurant was quite popular.

The three exchanged glances and then walked in together.

Upon entering, the front desk lady immediately welcomed them with a smile beaming on her face.

“Are the three of you here to eat?

Please come inside!”

“Do you have private rooms?” Observing the bustling setting inside, Li Han asked.

The lady at the front desk was slightly surprised but then nodded with a smile, “Yes, we have private rooms.”

“Then we’ll take a private room,” Li Han said.

“Alright, this way please,” said the hostess, warmly welcoming the three inside with a beaming smile.

As they walked inside, Chen Yang unconsciously gave the hostess a few glances.

In her thirties, dressed in typical rural women’s attire, but she was very good-looking.

She had a very mature charm.

Moreover, his plump body swayed from side to side as he walked, making Chen Yang’s throat a bit dry.

While Chen Yang was sizing up the landlady, she was also taking a look at him.

The landlady thought to herself, Who is this young man?

Being able to dine with two girls as beautiful as flowers, he must have an unusual status, right?

Although she was curious, she didn’t show it at all on the surface.

After welcoming Chen Yang and the two girls into the private room with a smile, she took out the menu and smoothly asked, “Is this your first time at our River Fish House?”

Li Han nodded.

“Mm-hm, it’s our first time.”

“I see, then I must recommend some dishes to you.

Our signature dish here at River Fish House, the Fresh Mushroom and Fish Stew, is absolutely the best!

You three might want to try it!” The landlady stretched out her hand and pointed to a particularly eye-catching dish on the menu.

Li Han followed the landlady’s finger and then asked Yang Ruoxi, “Is it this one?”

Yang Ruoxi leaned closer, then nodded her head, “Yes, that’s the one!”

“Okay, let’s order this dish then,” Li Han looked up and told the landlady.

“Okay!” The landlady cheerfully noted it down.

After ordering the specialty dish, Li Han and Yang Ruoxi ordered some other dishes as well.

Then Li Han passed the menu to Chen Yang, “Chen Yang, see what you’d like to eat.”

Chen Yang waved his hand, “No need for me, I’m good with anything.

You choose.”

He wasn’t particular about food; as long as it was edible, it was fine.

“Alright, then I’ll order a few more dishes for you.” Li Han took back the menu and ordered a few more dishes.

After the landlady had taken down all their orders, she smiled and left the room.

Once the landlady was gone, Chen Yang picked up the kettle on the table and poured tea for both women.

“Didn’t expect this River Fish House, situated in such a secluded location, to do such great business.

It seems this Fresh Mushroom and Fish Stew must be something special,” Chen Yang said as he took a sip of tea.

Yang Ruoxi also picked up her tea, drank a sip, and replied with a smile, “Of course, why else would I bring you guys here?”

“Hehe, true,” Chen Yang chuckled lightly.

The three sat quietly in the private room for a while, and soon the waiter began to bring the dishes slowly.

The restaurant wasn’t large and the exterior decor wasn’t particularly lavish, but the service staff were still very on point.

Not only were they polite and courteous,

even the way they served the dishes made it seem very formal here.

It felt somewhat like being in a grand hotel.

“No wonder it’s so busy here.

It seems that not only is the food good, but the service is also very attentive,” Chen Yang remarked.

Li Han smiled, “These days, that’s pretty much the standard in the catering industry, otherwise they’d be out of business.”

“That makes sense,” Chen Yang nodded and then began to taste the food with chopsticks.

Seeing this, the two women also started to eat.

After tasting a few dishes, Chen Yang couldn’t help but nod, “Indeed, these dishes are quite well made.”

“Haha, my taste isn’t bad, right?” Yang Ruoxi became a bit proudly upon hearing Chen Yang’s praise.

“Mm-hm, good taste indeed,” Chen Yang smiled and gave Yang Ruoxi a thumbs up, then began eating enthusiastically.

The three continued dining in the private room for quite a while, and most of the dishes they had ordered were served, but the signature dish was still nowhere to be seen.

Thus, Chen Yang asked a waiter to call the landlady over.

The landlady entered the room with a cheerful smile and explained, “I’m sorry everyone, the fresh mushroom and fish stew takes a long time to prepare.

Please wait a little longer.”

“How much longer will it be?” Chen Yang asked her.

The landlady looked at her watch, “It should be soon, about fifteen more minutes!”

“Alright,”

Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn’t say much, so he just nodded and continued to wait in the private room.
