Soon, the young waitress served all the rice, dipping sauce, and side dishes.
By this time, the hot pot on the table was already boiling, and the fragrant steam was rising straight up.
After everyone filled their bowls with rice, they buried their heads in eating.
"Yo, it's quite good!" Meng Wenzhou said with shining eyes after taking a bite of the mutton.
After taking a bite of the meat, Liu Bo turned to look at Pan Ning and praised, "It's really delicious. How did you find this place, Sister Pan?"
"I was introduced here by a friend."
"Not bad, not bad. I'll definitely come to this place every time I'm in Qingxi from now on." Liu Bo said while picking up the mutton from the pot.
Su Yang also thought it was good after taking a bite. The mutton not only had no fishy smell but also had a special fragrance of its own.
Now that he had the skills of a master chef, he was much more sensitive to food than before.
If a "master chef" thought the hot pot was delicious, ordinary people would surely praise it to the skies.
The steam from the mutton hot pot filled the small private room. If they came to have such a meal in winter, it would definitely be extremely enjoyable. For a moment, everyone was too busy eating to chat and just buried their heads in their food.
In just a few minutes, the mutton that came with the original hot - pot base was all fished out.
Liu Bo, with grease all over his mouth, picked up the separately - ordered mutton and put it into the pot.
"So delicious. I feel like I can eat five servings of meat by myself."
"Control yourself. I remember you said you were going to lose weight. How much do you weigh now?" Meng Wenzhou laughed beside him.
Liu Bo grinned and said a classic weight - loss quote: "Hehe, I'm 170 pounds now. I swear I'll start losing weight after this meal."
While waiting for the newly added meat to cook, Su Yang remembered that the two bottles of Coke he bought hadn't been drunk yet.
He opened the bottles and poured the Coke for everyone. As he poured, he said with a smile, "It's okay, Fatty. Eating meat won't make you fat."
"Really?"
"Definitely. These kinds of meats like beef and mutton are mainly made up of protein. You should really eat less rice and other greasy foods."
"Right, right. Eat less carbs and eat more meat." Meng Qianyu also laughed.
"Okay, then I won't eat rice. I'll just eat meat."
After eating for a while, the girls covered their stomachs and stopped. It was almost an hour later that the boys put down their chopsticks.
By this time, the soup in the pot was almost gone.
Pan Ning glanced at the pot and said calmly, "You guys can really eat. You've even drunk up all the soup."
"People who don't know might think we've been starving for days."
"Hehe, mainly because you chose a great place, Sister Pan. It's really delicious." Liu Bo wiped his mouth and still stared at the pot with his eyes.
Su Yang smiled and said, "It's okay. If you want to eat it in the future, come to my place and I'll cook it for you. I already have a general idea of how to make this flavor."
"Really?"
"Don't you know my cooking skills?"
"Your cooking is really good, but it's still impossible to make it taste exactly the same as this, right?" Liu Bo was a bit skeptical.
Su Yang smiled faintly: "You'll know when you eat it. It'll only be better than this."
"Since you said so, okay, let's make an appointment right now."
"Sure. My villa is ready to move into. After we get back to Haicheng, everyone come to my place. I'll cook delicious food for everyone. We'll also call the others who didn't come this time."
"Okay, okay. It's a deal then."
At this time, Ji Bo laughed beside them and said, "Brother Yang bought a villa?"
"Yes. I just got one. Come and play when the time comes."
"Sure."
"Then let's leave. It's still twenty - odd kilometers to the hotel."
"Okay, let's go."
Su Yang got up first and walked out of the private room. He went to the cashier on the first floor to pay the bill.
"Beauty, how much is the bill?"
The young waitress grinned and ran behind the cashier counter. "Did you enjoy your meal, handsome guy?"
"Yes. The food was great. We'll come again next time."
"Hehe, good. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You're always welcome back." The waitress picked up the previous menu, looked at it, and then pressed a few buttons on the calculator. Then she looked up at Su Yang and said, "Handsome guy, it's 885 yuan in total."
"Okay, I'll pay by WeChat."
"Sure."
Su Yang quickly paid the bill and took out a post - meal cigarette and lit it. At this time, the others just walked downstairs.
Pan Ning took a look at Su Yang and knew that he had already paid the bill. She didn't say much and just greeted the smiling waitress and walked towards the door.
Soon, everyone got in the cars again and set off.
An hour later, the three cars drove onto a clean asphalt path.
On the right side of the road was a villa area on the mountainside, which was the destination of this trip, the Half - Moon Bay Hot Spring Resort Hotel. On the left side of the road was a beautiful terraced field stretching from top to bottom.
Su Yang turned to look out of the window and said with a smile, "This place is quite nice. It has a feeling of a paradise on earth."
"Yes, it's so beautiful outside." Lu Yun, sitting in the back row, lay on the car window and quietly looked at the scenery.
The gentle breeze gently blew her hair, revealing her delicate side profile. She looked incredibly beautiful.
Su Yang glanced through the rear - view mirror and thought to himself, 'How beautiful she is. Sometimes it feels like a dream. I never dared to imagine such a scene before. Now there are so many beautiful girls like her in the car.'
"Stop looking and focus on driving." Pan Ning said calmly from the passenger seat.
"Okay." Su Yang was startled and then looked ahead and drove seriously.
A few minutes later, the three cars drove along the asphalt road to the end, turned right up a slope, and then arrived at the entrance of the Half - Moon Bay Hot Spring Hotel.
A security guard guided the three cars into the open - air parking lot on the left side of the hotel entrance and parked them.
Then the eleven people slowly got out of the cars.
Pan Ning led the way in front. "Let's go. First, let's go and get the rooms."
"Okay."
Several people quickly walked into the Chinese - style lobby of the hotel. Su Yang followed Pan Ning to the front desk.
"What are you doing here? Go and sit down and rest."
"I'll pay the bill."
"I'll pay. I said I'd treat you. Although you have money, I can't always let you pay."
Su Yang smiled and said, "Okay then."
As he said that, he turned around and walked back to the rest area and sat down.
At this time, Lu Yun and Tang Ziyun walked up to Su Yang and whispered, "Su Yang, how much does it cost to stay here for one night?"
Su Yang shook his head. "I don't know. I guess it's a few thousand yuan per room."
"So expensive!" Lu Yun thought for a while and looked at Tang Ziyun. "Xiaotang, let's transfer the money to Pan Pan later. It's always them treating us. We feel so embarrassed."
"Okay!"
Su Yang smiled helplessly beside them. "Come on, you two. Why are you being so polite? She definitely won't accept the money if you transfer it to her."
"But we still feel embarrassed. We can't always let you guys pay. It makes us seem like we're taking advantage of you." Tang Ziyun said blankly.
"The relationship between us doesn't need to be so formal. It's not just this one time. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to treat us in the future, right? So just relax and enjoy yourselves."
At this time, Meng Wenzhou, who was sitting not far away, leaned over and asked, "What are you three chatting about?"
Su Yang smiled helplessly and said, "They said they feel embarrassed and want to transfer the money to Pan Ning."
"Aha?" Meng Wenzhou was taken aback for a moment, then pretended to be angry and looked at Lu Yun and Tang Ziyun.
"Well, I really have to give you guys a piece of my mind. We've known each other for quite some time and get along well. Do we really need to calculate things so precisely between us?"
"That's not what we mean," Tang Ziyun waved her hand and quickly explained.
"I know what you mean. No need to say more. There will be plenty of time in the future for you to return the favor."
"Yeah, stop being so bothered. It's not a big deal," Lu Yun added.
Lu Yun and Tang Ziyun exchanged a helpless look. "Okay, then we'll treat you next time we go out."
"Hehe, all right. You guys are really being too polite."

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
