Chapter 58: Chapter 58: The Greedy Worm is Lured Out
“There’s a roast duck restaurant nearby that serves authentic Capital City roast duck,” Tao Shen said as he pulled out his phone and showed a photo of thin duck pancakes. “Do you want to try it?”
Tao Ti leaned in to look at his phone screen. The photo was very tempting, with the orange-red duck skin sliced thinly and arranged neatly. The meat was pale and juicy, seeping fluids, and the thin pancakes were as transparent as paper.
Tao Ti’s eyes brightened, and she instinctively licked her lips.
Cheng Guodong knew then, his sister was definitely tempted!
That kid was impressive, he really came prepared!
“Do you want to eat?” Tao Shen asked softly.
Tao Ti, as if enchanted, nodded and blinked her big eyes.
Taking advantage of the moment, Tao Shen reached out to hold Tao Ti’s hand, saying, “Come on, big brother will take you to eat good food and explore all the delicacies!”
His hand met air. Tao Shen looked over in bafflement only to see Tao Ti’s hand being held by Cheng Guodong, who gave him an unfriendly look, “Kid, just lead the way. Who said you could hold my sister’s hand?”
Tao Shen felt dejected but had no choice but to lead the way.
Orange looked at her manager, “Should we follow them?”
The manager sneered, “You still want to eat? There are still some issues we haven’t settled with you!”
Orange had a bad feeling and asked apprehensively, “What’s the matter, can’t it wait until after we eat?”
“Do you have the face to eat this meal?” Orange’s manager retorted sarcastically. “You didn’t even let people sleep well, how could you have the face to go eat this meal!”
At these words, Orange’s heart skipped a beat.
It was all over! The manager knew everything!
Clutching at straws, she asked, “Is there… surveillance in the dormitory?”
At this, Orange’s heart sank.
Lin Zhi stuck out her tongue at Orange and disdainfully said, “If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it! Shameless!”
Lin Zhi’s manager had no way to deal with her and gently advised, “Little ancestor, please don’t stoke the fire more!”
Lin Zhi huffed and chased after Tao Ti, shouting, “Little Taotie, wait for me! I want to eat roast duck too!”
Tao Ti stopped, turned around, and was hugged by the catching-up Lin Zhi. Lin Zhi said coolly, “You take me to eat roast duck, I’ll take you to drink the best milk tea here!”
With hesitation, Tao Ti looked at Tao Shen and whispered, “He’s paying.”
Tao Shen quickly interjected, “As long as you agree, you can bring whoever you want.”
Tao Shen walked over to the producer and handed him a red envelope, “Take the crew to have a good meal.”
The producer also wanted to eat roast duck, but Tao Shen’s gesture was clearly intended to dismiss him, so he could only nod and agree, “Okay!”
The roast duck restaurant was already quite crowded, and people were even lining up at the door. Cheng Guodong frowned, “How long will we have to wait?”
Tao Shen told the waiter, “My last name is Tao, the third private room.”
At these words, Cheng Guodong was surprised, “You booked a spot?”
“Booked it on my phone on the way here,” Tao Shen waved his phone.
Cheng Guodong, not very savvy with phones and somewhat of a wealthy rustic, pursed his lips in frustration.
Lin Zhi and Tao Ti, hand in hand, entered the private room. Lin Zhi said to Tao Ti, “I’ve been to Capital City before. The roast duck is delicious!”
Tao Ti had never eaten roast duck before. She licked her lips and asked earnestly, “How delicious is it?”
“The skin is thin, the sauce is sweet and savory, and the duck skin is crispy. When you bite into it, the juices flow out, and the meat is fragrant with a hint of fruitwood aroma! The best part is wrapping it all together and stuffing it in your mouth. The sauce melds with the fruitwood aroma, and crispy skin with juicy meat fills your whole mouth. Wow, it’s just so satisfying!” Lin Zhi described passionately, ending with a wipe at the corner of her mouth, sparkling slightly.
Did she just make herself crave it?
The nearby Lin Zhi’s manager squinted her eyes. She hadn’t realized before, but her little artist seemed to have a knack for being a food influencer!
Tao Ti, stirred by her description, pursed her lips, afraid she might unconsciously drool.
