Chapter 164: Chapter 161: Sun Lili’s Wonderful Journey

After leading her out, Zhou Jun pointed to the side and said, "That’s the experimental area over there. Do you want to go in and have a look now?"

"No, that’s okay. During my treatment, will I have to stay inside there?"

"I’ll ask Lin Feng, but I don’t think so. As for the specific treatment plan, we’ll have to ask the person in charge here."

"Okay."

The two of them soon met Lin Feng. Sun Lili sized him up curiously, finding him strange. She had a good impression of him from the very first glance.

Usually, she would feel resistant when first meeting a stranger, a symptom of her mental illness.

"Hello, welcome to Lin Xian Village. I’m the owner here, Lin Feng."

"Hello, my name is Sun Lili. Thank you for having me."

Zhou Jun was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected Sun Lili to actually speak to Lin Feng, and she wasn’t nervous at all.

"The house is ready for you. You two can go see it now."

"Alright then. Let’s get our lodgings sorted first. I’ll take Sun Lili for a tour later."

The house wasn’t far. It was a two-story wooden house from the first batch, originally reserved for Lin Feng’s parents to live in when they visited.

Since his father would be managing the water plant in the future, Lin Feng was planning to build them a larger house down below.

These houses were built in a hurry and couldn’t compare to the ones built later in any aspect. The main reason was that he had more money later on and could use better materials.

This wasn’t Zhou Jun’s first time experiencing the unique properties of Lin Xian Village’s houses, but it was a first for Sun Lili. She felt the difference the moment she stepped inside.

Seeing the open windows and doors, she was filled with confusion but didn’t ask why.

’I’ll settle in first. There will definitely be a chance to explore the secrets here later.’

She was extremely curious about Lin Xian Village; it completely contradicted everything she had ever learned.

"Sun Lili, you take the upstairs, I’ll take the downstairs. Call me if you need anything."

Sun Lili was well aware that her family sending her here with Zhou Jun was, in fact, an attempt to set them up.

"Mm."

After a while, Zhou Jun shouted upstairs, "Come down when you’re done settling in! I’m going to take you to try the Medicinal Cuisine."

"Got it, I’ll be down soon."

When the two of them arrived at the Restaurant, they heard many of the servers talking about the Medicinal Cuisine.

Fang Qingqing, having received a call from Lin Feng, saw the two of them enter and hurried over to greet them.

"You must be Mr. Zhou Jun and Ms. Sun Lili. Please, have a seat over here. Rest for a moment; the Medicinal Cuisine will be ready shortly."

"Thank you."

After sitting down, Sun Lili looked at her surroundings. It was quite nice.

"Is the food here really that magical?"

She had just looked up some information online and found nothing but praise for the Restaurant’s food, saying it was delicious and tasted absolutely amazing.

"You’ll understand once you try it. It’s guaranteed to leave you speechless."

He hadn’t been able to stop thinking about it since he ate here last time. It was perfect that he could now stay for a while since he was bringing Sun Lili for her treatment.

About ten minutes later, the Medicinal Cuisine was brought to their table. The lid hadn’t even been lifted, but the aroma was already noticeable.

"It smells so good!"

"This is the Medicinal Cuisine? It smells more fragrant than any regular dish."

Fang Qingqing said, "You’re not wrong, Mr. Zhou Jun. The Medicinal Cuisine is currently the most delicious dish in our Restaurant."

When the lid was lifted, the aroma from the clay pot burst out, and the two of them couldn’t help but inhale deeply.

"This is incredibly fragrant! Wow, the aroma is amazing."

They quickly picked up their spoons and served themselves a bowl, eager to take a taste.

Fang Qingqing, standing nearby, quickly reminded them, "It was just finished, so it’s a little hot. You two might want to wait a moment."

Zhou Jun didn’t listen. He just touched his lips to a bit of the broth and, getting scalded, quickly put his spoon down.

"SSSS... It really is hot. We’ll have to wait a bit before we can eat it."

"Here, have some ice water."

Plenty of customers who came for the Medicinal Cuisine got scalded. The staff was used to it and had ice water ready for them.

Sun Lili laughed and said, "Well, that’s what you get for being so impatient."

"You were just as anxious as I was! Who could resist when the broth smells this good? I just couldn’t help myself."

By stirring continuously, they finally cooled the broth down a little. Enduring the slight heat, they began to eat.

Only after they had finished the entire pot did Zhou Jun exclaim, "I forgot to take a picture! I’ll take one of the empty pot now to make those guys jealous."

He took a photo of two empty bowls and an empty clay pot and posted it to his Friends Circle.

"Lin Xian Village’s Medicinal Cuisine—unbelievably delicious!"

Soon, people started leaving comments below.

"You went to Lin Xian Village again? Why didn’t you take us with you?"

"Brother Zhou, you’re sneaking good food again! Wait for me, I’m heading over right now."

"I just heard about this Medicinal Cuisine. Too bad I have to work and can’t go. Bro, can you have it delivered to me?"

"..."

Zhou Jun replied in the comments, "Eating the Medicinal Cuisine is truly an experience. I hear it has other benefits too. Try not to be too jealous!"

"Aren’t you a little childish? Come on, let’s go look around somewhere else."

Although Lin Feng had said it was his treat, Zhou Jun still paid the bill before leading Sun Lili toward the Arrow Towers.

Standing atop an Arrow Tower, Sun Lili felt her entire worldview being shattered. This was too magical, completely unscientific.

After trying three Arrow Towers in a row, she finally came down and found Zhou Jun resting by the side.

"What’s the deal with these Arrow Towers?"

"Don’t ask me, I don’t know. Look, there are a bunch of scientists over there, and even they haven’t figured it out."

Sun Lili turned her head to look and saw that there was indeed a lot of equipment over there, with several people constantly bustling about.

Zhou Jun said in a low voice, "There’s a certain air of mystery here that science can’t explain yet."

In the past, Sun Lili would never have believed it. After everything she’d been through, her family had tried every method imaginable, all with virtually no effect.

But now, Lin Xian Village was making her realize that truly magical things did happen in the world.

"Let’s go. I’ll show you some other places. You should familiarize yourself with the area too, since we’ll be staying here for a long time."

On the way, they ran into Hu Xia, who was livestreaming. Zhou Jun greeted her and introduced Sun Lili.

"Look, that kid painting over there is Master Yang Deyu’s apprentice. He’s pretty skilled."

Sun Lili walked over to watch for a while and found that his painting skills were indeed very good. Not only was he fast, but the figures and scenery blended together harmoniously.

Meanwhile, not far from the main gate of Lin Xian Village, a kitchen helper from the back kitchen, Qi Shijie, was approached by someone.

"Chef Qi, ten thousand for one pot of Medicinal Cuisine. If you bring out ten pots, that’s one hundred thousand. Isn’t that much better than your salary!"

Qi Shijie hesitated. The price was incredibly tempting. ’Ten pots is too much,’ he thought, ’but I could manage five.’

’Fifty thousand at a time... I could make over a million a month. This is really tempting.’

"Are you worried about getting caught and fired? Don’t worry. As long as you’re careful, we’ll arrange for someone to help you."

"Are you sure I won’t get caught?"

"As long as you’re careful and cook it secretly by yourself, you definitely won’t be discovered. Our people will help you bring the Medicinal Cuisine out."

"Really? Ten thousand for one pot of Medicinal Cuisine?"

"Would I lie to you? As soon as we get the Medicinal Cuisine, we’ll transfer the money to you."

Qi Shijie gritted his teeth. "Have your person go inside and wait tonight. We’ll make the trade at eight p.m."

Other chefs like Qi Shijie were also approached and offered the same price for the Medicinal Cuisine.

However, many of them rejected the offer outright. Although the money was tempting, they were well aware of the consequences of being caught.
