Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 363. 364. The Farmhouse
"If there is no way to deliver this time, the creditor is ready to go to the court to enforce it."

"However, I heard that Boss Zhao's family is still very rich."

"Take out a little and help your father build a bridge to get through this month's difficulties. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"How is it? Have you considered it?"

Kitty Maojiang's eyes became more and more empty, and she didn't know which sentence the other party said broke the last line of defense in her heart, so she nodded silently.

··········
On the other side, Li Xiao and Zhang Haoquan also drove off, and they arrived at the private restaurant of each other's friends not long after.

It is said to be a private restaurant, but it is actually a bit beautified.

In Li Xiao's view, it is only about the appearance of the hotel in front of him.

At most, it was a farm restaurant, and it was a fairly ordinary one.

White mosaic tiles, terrazzo floors, ordinary cross glass windows, and large turquoise iron gates.

Two lazy dogs are resting under the tree, and a birdcage is hanging by the eaves.

An old man was shaking a cattail fan, lying on a cane-yellow rocking chair, shaking and creaking rhythmically.

When the old man saw someone coming in, he opened his eyes and waited slowly. After seeing clearly that the person in front of him was an acquaintance, he smiled and said:

"Yo, you are an old man, why are you free today?"

Zhang Haoquan, who was full of style, didn't care much about the address of the other party, nodded, pointed to Li Xiao who followed behind him and introduced:

"I just met a kid today, and I got along well with him, so I took him to dinner."

"Okay then, let's go to private room No. [-]. Someone has reserved private room No. [-]. Old Zhao reserved it."

"Oh, that old Zhao guy is not dead yet?"

"Good people don't live long, but evil people last for thousands of years."

"That's right."

While the two were chatting, Li Xiao took pictures everywhere with a camera.

in the live room.

"No way, the boss who drank more than 2 tea leaves in 1 hours actually came to this kind of place to eat?"

"What do the people upstairs know? This is called returning to basics."

"Indeed, there are many delicious restaurants, but I like to hide in some strange places."

"I suspect that the old man wants to bring the anchor to eat some rare animals, and these rare animals are usually only available in this kind of place."

"Hiss, is the anchor going to eat protected animals in front of hundreds of thousands of people?"

"You guys are thinking too much. It is estimated that the screen will be black when you enter the live broadcast room."

"I suspect that the old man just wanted to eat some farm food on a whim."

"It's true that no one can bear the big fish and meat every day, and occasionally eat some green vegetables and white porridge to moisten the stomach."

"I'm super curious, what can I eat here."

Seeing that Li Xiao didn't intend to follow, Zhang Haoquan chatted with the old man for a while, and then called Li Xiao to the private room.

While walking, Zhang Haoquan introduced:
"Don't look at it from the outside, but there is a hole in the inside."

Li Xiao was about to ask, what is the secret.

But in the next second, he closed his mouth that was about to open, because he had already seen what was beyond the sky.

Originally thought to be the location of the farmhouse hall, it turned out to be just an entrance door.

Walking through a corridor from the entrance door, the two came to the real hall.

!!!

???

To be honest, when he saw the real lobby, Li Xiao really wanted to pry open the brain of the owner of this restaurant and see what was really going on in his heart.

The outside is dilapidated, and there is not even a serious security guard.

After entering the door, the four long-legged ladies welcome guests?
And the interior and exterior decoration styles are too different?

Hearing the welcome from their ears, Li Xiao and the old man walked inside.

Clean and reflective marble floors, resplendent walls and ceilings full of frescoes.

On both sides of the resplendent aisle, there are two rows of glass display cabinets.

There are all kinds of weird things inside, including broken blue and white porcelain, bronzes covered with green patina, ancient costumes inlaid with gold and silver, broken armor of warriors, and bamboo slips with illegible writing.
The variety of exhibits made Li Xiao's pace slow down.

Although there was no introduction, and there was a layer of glass behind them, the antique flavor that came over him made Li Xiao sure that these were genuine products.

Seeing that Li Xiao was engrossed, the old man said with a smile:

"They are all genuine products. Although the price is not high, they are quite rare."

"But it's a pity. If the damage is not so serious, it is estimated that it can be entered into the National Museum."

Hearing Zhang Haoquan's words, the corners of Li Xiao's mouth couldn't help twitching.

If you know it, you will say that this is a hotel, if you don't know it, you will think it is a museum.

in the live room.

"Good guy, really good guy, that one just now looks like real blue and white porcelain?"

"Be confident, didn't the old man say it? It's all real!"

"The real thing is useless, the damage is too serious."

"That Kaiping Tongbao? The appearance is very good!"

"This armor was probably only qualified to be worn by very high-level generals before?"

"I didn't expect that eating a meal can be so eye-opening."

"I haven't even started eating this meal yet, but I'm already looking forward to it!"

········
Seeing this sentence, Li Xiao smiled knowingly.

Originally, when he saw the situation outside, he only thought it would be an ordinary farmhouse.

However, with the mentality of what has come, it will be safe, and I just plan to deal with it.

But after he actually walked into the hall, his mentality changed quietly.

After all, in such an environment, with such a configuration, his dishes can't be too bad.

Besides, it was someone like old man Zhang who brought him here, so it's impossible to play tricks on him on purpose.

The 2 people followed behind the welcoming lady and walked into the No. 2 private room.

The environment of the private room is different from the environment outside the hall.

Without the high-profile luxury, it looks a bit idyllic and elegant.

The internal and external style is so great that he really has to think that it should be designed by several designers separately.

The private room No. 2 is not big, and a small square table for 4 people is placed in the middle of the dining room.

Next to the dining room, there is a simple and elegant tea room separated by a screen.

The outside is an open-air balcony, the ground is made of black wood, and there are guardrails outside the balcony.

The place connected to the balcony is an endless small lake, but due to the dry season.

At this time, a circle of dark brown lakebed has been exposed on the edge of the small lake.

Although the vegetation by the lake is not withered because it is in the south, it also looks a bit decadent because of the climate.

If you come here in early spring or early summer, the scenery outside the balcony must be quite beautiful.

However, sometimes, it is sad and has a sad mood.

Seeing Li Xiao staring at the view of the balcony in a daze, the old man didn't urge him.

He just drank tea quietly, waiting for Li Xiao to recover.
