Chapter 333: Food Streamer
Chapter 333: Food Streamer
There’s bound to be such a mentor for such disciples; the disciples escaped completely, and Coach Big Beard didn’t run a full lap as agreed. Instead, after running just over a hundred meters, he vanished without a trace.
Xu Xiangbei was too lazy to bicker with them and returned to the Purple Gold Villa, worried that Gu Xinyan might not be accustomed to being alone in the villa.
However, when he got back to the villa, he noticed a slender beauty in a light green silk embroidered cheongsam standing in the yard, with a long, snow-white leg revealed through the cheongsam’s slit.
The silk belted cheongsam outlined the beauty’s graceful body curves, making one’s thoughts wander.
Xu Xiangbei felt this beauty looked somewhat familiar yet so unfamiliar; he asked in surprise, "Who are you, and what are you doing standing in my yard?"
The beauty slowly turned around. Upon seeing that pure, beautiful face like ice and jade, Xu Xiangbei understood it was Gu Xinyan.
The green silk cheongsam contrasted with the lush green grass, adding a touch of gentleness and charm to Gu Xinyan.
Gu Xinyan showed a playful smile and said, "Haha, you didn’t recognize me? Are you surprised? I just changed my clothes, and you can’t recognize me? Is there a place for me in your heart?"
Xu Xiangbei was a bit awkward: "I am indeed surprised. You’re usually in a wheelchair, and today you’re standing in front of me. What a surprise. I didn’t expect it to be you for a moment."
Though walking was still a bit strenuous for Gu Xinyan, her wheelchair was hidden in the corner of the yard. Xu Xiangbei only paid attention to the beauty standing in front of him and didn’t notice the wheelchair by the wall.
Xu Xiangbei seemed to see a future where Gu Xinyan would walk toward him with a smile.
Xu Xiangbei checked his watch; it was already noon, time for lunch.
Xu Xiangbei smiled and said to Gu Xinyan, "Today, I’ll take you to a restaurant called Emperor’s Pavilion. Their beef and seafood balls are delicious. I’ve taken Ouyang Jiahui and Xiao Lin there, but you’ve not had the chance due to filming. Also, since this Emperor’s Pavilion is going to be a restaurant I’m investing in, please do visit often, beautiful lady."
Hearing that it was a restaurant Xu Xiangbei was investing in, Gu Xinyan was overjoyed: "Great, I want to taste what these beef and seafood balls are like."
Driving a silver Porsche with the engine roaring like thunder, they quickly reached Emperor’s Pavilion.
Seeing the resplendently decorated and grand Emperor’s Pavilion, Gu Xinyan was quite pleasantly surprised.
"It’s only been a month, and you already have such a beautiful hotel, Brother Xu. I’m truly impressed."
Without Boss Peng and his group causing trouble, business improved a lot. Although not at peak capacity with every seat filled, half the seats in the hall were occupied by customers.
Most of the waitstaff recognized Xu Xiangbei, knowing he was one of the stakeholders of Emperor’s Pavilion, and greeted him with bows: "Hello, Dr. Xu."
Walking through a path formed by several waiters welcoming him, Gu Xinyan felt like she was being treated like a star, both happy and surprised.
Seeing that Xu Xiangbei had arrived, the Zhou family father and son quickly came out to greet him: "Dr. Xu, give me a call first, so I can prepare a private room and ingredients."
"It’s fine, whatever’s available is good. There’s nothing special I need. Let me introduce, this is my girlfriend Gu Xinyan. I’m bringing her to taste the beef and seafood balls. You better not say you don’t have any today."
Zhou Ping looked at Gu Xinyan and Xu Xiangbei with admiration.
Xu Xiangbei always brought beautiful women over, and although this beauty was in a wheelchair, she was incomparably pure and beautiful, like a celestial maiden, prompting compassion.
With a look of pride, he said, "Today not only do we have beef and seafood balls, but I’ve also innovated—they are five-nut flower balls, best for beauty and health for the ladies. Inside are red beans, rose petals, red dates, almonds, walnuts, and melon seeds, with excellent benefits for beauty and health."
Listening to Zhou Ping’s introduction of the various dishes, Gu Xinyan couldn’t help but salivate. She smiled and said, "Then please, Manager Zhou, hurry with the cooking. Just hearing you describe it makes me hungry."
In less than ten minutes, Zhou Ping finished cooking and personally brought out the dishes. On his tray were two porcelain bowls, one red and one blue.
The blue bowl contained beef and seafood balls, while the red one had five-nut flower balls.
The thick and bright soup had green vegetables, pink carrot shreds, black fungus, and various colorful ingredients, emitting a faint fragrance from the bowl, with a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste.
Gu Xinyan scooped up a beef and seafood ball with red and green colors with a spoon. The tender beef mixed with the essence of shrimp and crab roe was delicious, leaving a lasting flavor.
Having another five-nut flower ball, a fragrant aroma of flowers permeated her body, making her feel refreshed and uplifted.
Gu Xinyan soon finished both bowls of balls, praising them: "They’re really delicious. Whenever there’s a break from filming, Brother Xu, please bring me here."
Xu Xiangbei laughed: "As long as you like, I can have them packed and delivered to the set for you."
Gu Xinyan didn’t eat a lot and was full after two bowls of balls. The server brought a complimentary fruit platter.
At the next table, a pair of long-haired girls with DSLR cameras around their necks excitedly ran over upon seeing Gu Xinyan.
"Gu Xinyan, are you Gu Xinyan from ’Sword Rain Romance’? It’s great to finally see you in person. Could you give us an autograph?"
Being recognized, Gu Xinyan felt a little embarrassed but also happy. She quickly regained her composure and took up a pen to sign for them.
After getting her autograph, the two girls didn’t immediately leave. Instead, they started chatting with her: "Miss Gu, you’re so beautiful."
"Yes, Miss Gu, you’re even more stunning than on TV and so approachable."
Gu Xinyan smiled and asked, "I see you have cameras, are you photographers?"
The two girls smiled at each other: "We often do photography as a hobby. We’re mainly food show online anchors. It’s our first time dining at Emperor’s Pavilion; it’s such a surprise to meet Miss Gu here. Miss Gu, do you often come here to eat?"
Gu Xinyan laughed: "It’s my first time here. The beef and seafood balls are really tasty, and the five-nut rose balls are even better for girls and help with beauty. I hope you recommend this restaurant to your followers so more people can enjoy the delicacies here."
The girls nodded, taking pictures of the dishes with their cameras and taking a photo with Gu Xinyan.
They laughed: "When we get back, we’ll post pictures of these dishes on our website for more food lovers to see."
To better promote Emperor’s Pavilion through the beautiful streamers, Xu Xiangbei had Zhou Ping give each of them two bowls of beef and seafood balls and five-nut flower balls.
