Chapter 106 First Wave of Senior Citizens' Group: All-You-Can-Eat in Wonderland
Several old friends were visiting [Fairyland] for the first time and had to queue up to use the new customer entrance, while Liu Songyuan simply walked in without having to wait in the long line.
After his old friends came in, he led them on a brief tour.
Since the group had different tastes, they agreed to go their separate ways to eat first, and then meet up at the benches in front of the convenience store when they were almost done eating, and go back together.
Liu Songyuan headed straight to the Chinese fast food restaurant. He had finally gotten to eat his favorite dishes yesterday, and since the restaurant staff said they would be updating the menu today, he couldn't wait to try the new dishes.
Qiu Deguang, who came with him, chose to eat at a restaurant first.
He was overjoyed to discover that the dish contained the local braised noodles from the place where he used to serve as an official. Back then, he loved this dish and never got tired of eating it every day.
So he ordered a bowl of braised noodles and ate it with gusto.
After finishing a big, hot bowl of noodles, Old Qiu was truly satisfied. The noodles seemed to taste even better than he remembered; they were absolutely delicious.
After finishing my noodles, I went outside and felt a bit thirsty. I happened to see a long queue outside the shop next door, mostly young people holding cups and drinking, looking very satisfied.
He happened to be thirsty and wanted to join in the fun, so he lined up in the middle of the young people's queue, listening to them talk about how delicious milk tea and fruit tea were.
When it was his turn, Qiu Deguang looked somewhat lost after scanning the face, unsure of what to do next.
At this moment, the young master behind him saw this and came forward to help him, telling him that he only needed to choose the type of drink he liked and select whether it was hot or cold.
The young master clicked on the Freshly Brewed Pure Tea series and suggested that the old man could choose one of the teas from there.
Old Qiu was delighted to see this; he did indeed love tea, and this place had all kinds of tea.
He hesitated for a moment, then selected a cup of Longjing green tea, and confirmed the payment directly, assuming it was a hot drink.
Soon, the cup of Longjing tea, which looked like it had just been brewed, was pushed in front of him.
Qiu Deguang took the cup, thanked the young master who had just helped him, and went to find a place to sit.
There were many sofas and chairs outside the milk tea shop, and Old Qiu picked up his teacup and casually found a seat to sit down.
He picked up the teacup and saw that the tea leaves in the transparent cup were clearly visible. Some leaves sank straight down, while others swirled and fell slowly, which was quite interesting.
Bringing the cup closer, you can smell the aroma of beans mixed with a fresh grassy scent and a hint of tea, a fragrance that is both lingering and refreshing.
He took a small sip, the tea gliding over his tongue, its flavor fresh, sweet, and mellow, as if he could taste the vibrant life of new leaves in spring.
When you hold the tea in your mouth, your tongue tingles with a refreshing sensation, your cheeks feel moist, and the aftertaste is sweet and lingering.
After swallowing the tea, a lingering fragrance remained in his throat, and the refreshing sensation lingered in his mouth for a long time, leaving him with an unforgettable aftertaste.
"This is truly a rare and excellent cup of tea!"
Old Qiu held his teacup, nodded, and couldn't help but sigh.
After sitting there slowly and leisurely downing half a cup of tea, he became restless and took the teacup to the side.
Then I was drawn to the tempting braised pork knuckle hanging on the shop sign, but seeing that the shop didn't seem to be open yet, I wandered around the entrance.
He's not picky about food, but he enjoys having a little wine on weekdays.
He used to buy some braised pork head and other snacks from a deli to go with his drinks. He would then enjoy them with a little wine when he got home. It was a really nice meal.
After tasting the delicious food here, he was convinced that the food in [Fairyland] was even better than that outside. He thought that if he could buy some of the braised dishes here, he would definitely enjoy drinking tonight.
Finally, the shop opened, and Old Qiu darted forward, moving even faster than the young people, and stood at the front of the line.
He was even happier when he heard from the waiter that there were samples available.
He picked up a skewer and tasted everything from braised pig's head to braised pig's ears, then to braised pork hock and braised pork belly. His eyes widened and his mustache grew more and more prominent as he sampled each dish.
The braised dishes here are all so delicious, it's no exaggeration to say that even if you braised them in this broth, they would taste amazing...
These few bites really whetted Old Qiu's appetite, and he decided to buy more to take home.
When he got to the ordering screen, he was worried that he wouldn't understand it, but seeing that it only required a few taps, he figured it out himself.
He ordered a pound of braised pig's head and half a pound of braised pig's ears. When he got to the pork knuckle, he found that it was ordered by the piece. Looking at the screen full of pork knuckles, he swallowed and picked out the four largest ones.
He walked further to the settlement screen the waiter had mentioned, and as soon as he stood there, his image appeared on it, along with everything he had just ordered.
He pressed confirm payment, and a message popped up saying the payment was successful.
As soon as the pickup slot below opened, his large bag of braised goods was already packed.
Old Qiu took the paper bag in disbelief, peered inside, and found that it was exactly what he had ordered.
I never expected ordering to be so easy; even this old man can figure it out.
He shook his head incredulously, then excitedly carried a large bag of braised food to meet up with his other old friends.
The others were in similar situations to Old Man Qiu, and they were all astonished that such a wonderful place existed.
Thanks to Steward Liu for bringing them here to broaden their horizons, otherwise they might never have known such a paradise existed even after they were buried in the ground...
Liu Shangshan has been praised by his old friends countless times today, and he's heard it so many times that his ears are tired of it.
However, he secretly rejoiced that he had followed the carriage out of curiosity yesterday, which gave him something to brag about to his old friend.
These individuals were all prominent figures in the past, and their arrival brought the first wave of elderly visitors to the area.
And as they spread the word after returning home, it attracted more and more elderly guests to [Fairyland]...

Bai Mengran supervised the braised food shop for a while and discovered that Xiao Shi was very eloquent and could persuade customers to place orders one after another. It seemed that he was capable of handling the current customers all by himself.
She then left the braised food shop, turned onto another road behind it, and headed to another new shop that she was even more looking forward to – "Unforgettable Daily Necessities".
This shop was placed separately behind several restaurants, after all, it was the first shop selling daily necessities inside [Fairyland].
Bai Mengran believes that the shops selling daily necessities should be separated from the food shops. More shops selling other daily necessities will be opened in the future, so it is necessary to group the daily necessities shops into a separate street.
Compared to the bustling food street, this shop was deserted at this moment, with not a single person in sight, mainly because the shop was closed and not yet open for business.
As the entire shop came into view, Bai Mengran couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" The Daily Necessities Shop was actually a two-story Suzhou-style building.
At first glance, it's a combination of elegance and beauty, it's so stylish!
