Chapter 983: SurprisedTranslator: Lonelytree
Soon, Xiao Zhou brought them to the gourmet canteen.
The gourmet canteen was called the Taoyuan Village Gourmet Canteen. It was simple, generous, and clear.
Ian and the other three didn’t know any Chinese characters. However, after Xiao Zhou’s introduction, they knew better about the canteen.
When they arrived at the gourmet canteen, their mouths were agape in surprise again.
“Xiao Zhou, why is this canteen so big?” Ian asked curiously.
Xiao Zhou smiled and said, “Is it very big? It looks so on the outside. However, when you go inside, you will find it very crowded.”
Many tourists who came to Taoyuan village came for the canteen. This was because many of the delicacies in the canteen were not sold outside. After coming here, one must first satisfy their appetite.
Sometimes, some tourists would even reserve the surrounding hotel rooms or the inns on the farm for the sake of food.
Unfortunately, the more they ate, the more they wanted to eat the delicacies. They simply could not eat enough of them.
Ian and the other five looked at the huge gourmet hall. They wondered if it was really a high-end restaurant. To their impression, a dining hall was just an ordinary building that served ordinary food.
However, the canteen that could accommodate thousands of people could emit the fragrance of delicious food from afar. When one came closer, the fragrance was even more attractive.
After Xiao Zhou brought the five into the canteen, they were stunned when they saw the long lines.
“Aren’t there too many people?”
......
Xiao Zhou took a look and said, “It’s lunchtime now. Of course, there are many people. Even if it’s not lunchtime, there are still a lot of people in this gourmet dining hall. A lot of people come here not just to fill their stomachs but to taste the delicacies. So there will be people at any time.”
What Ian was concerned about now was, “With so many people, how long do we have to wait?”
Xiao Zhou smiled and said, “I’m just bringing you here to take a look. You’re currently guests of the company, so you have the advantage of using the back door!”
“Ah, is that so?” Ian and the others were a little surprised. “Then quickly bring us there. We’re starving to death.”
The most important thing was that they couldn’t wait to taste these delicacies.
Of course, their hunger was real.
Xiao Zhou nodded and said, “Alright.”
Then, she brought them out and entered through a small door at the back of the canteen. After entering, there was a small canteen inside.
This small canteen looked much smaller than the big canteen outside, but it could still accommodate four to five hundred people.
Apart from the villagers, most of the people in this small canteen were employees of the company.
When the people in the small canteen saw Xiao Zhou bringing five foreigners in, they asked, “Xiao Zhou, who are these five people?”
Xiao Zhou smiled and said, “These five people can be considered guests of the company now, but soon, they will be part of our company. President Xiao asked me to bring them around the farm to have a look.”
“Oh, I see!”
These people would be highly valued by President Xiao since they had a private guide.
Xiao Zhou said to Ian and the others, “The uncles and aunties who serve food can understand English. You can order whatever you want to eat. You can eat as much as you want. But you are absolutely not allowed to waste it.” Xiao Zhou pointed to a warning posted on the wall and continued, “If you waste too much, you’ll be fined!”
Ian and the others looked at the warning and nodded. “Yes, we know.”
Then, the five of them went to take a look. Xiao Zhou also went to order a meal and sat on an empty seat and began to eat.
Every time they ate the food here, it was not to fill their stomachs but to enjoy it.
Ian and the rest looked at the rows of colorful food and could not help but swallow their saliva.
Not only was the food made beautifully, but the fragrance of the food also assailed their nostrils. It simply stimulated their appetite.
They wanted to taste every kind of food, but there were more than a hundred kinds of food. They only had one stomach.
Therefore, they first chose a few very beautiful and delicious food to eat.
Their stomachs were big because the food was too delicious. They wolfed down a few mouthfuls and finished a plate of food. No matter how much they wanted to eat, they could not hold on any longer. They could only stroke their round stomachs. At the same time, they glanced at the place where the food was served, and their eyes revealed some unwillingness.
Ian and the others said, “Although this is a public canteen, the food here is really too delicious.”
“That’s right. In the past, we didn’t really like to eat vegetarian dishes. But after coming here and eating the food here, I realized that vegetarian dishes are actually so delicious.”
They had Chinese in their own countries, but the flavor was not authentic. Now that they were in China, it was a waste not to have good Chinese cuisine.
“The things here, whether it’s vegetarian or meat dishes, are all so delicious. Moreover, this kind of delicious food is different from our western food.”
“In the future, when we work here, can we eat this kind of delicious food every day?”
“Didn’t Bruce tell you? When you work at Green Fresh Group, you can come to the canteen to eat. The food produced in the canteen is all from our own products. This is a great benefit to our employees.”
It was because of this that many people would fight to work at Green Fresh Group.
It was true that Green Fresh Group’s recruitment was strict, but it was also true that the employees were treated extremely well.
After chatting with the others for a while, Xiao Zhou came over and asked with a smile, “Gentlemen, are you done eating?”
Ian smiled and said, “We are full, but we haven’t had enough!”
There were too many delicious foods.
Xiao Zhou covered his mouth and laughed as she said, “Take your time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Ian asked, “Ms. Xiao Zhou, where are we going to visit later?”
Xiao Zhou looked at them and asked, “Do you guys want to rest for a while before we set off?”
Ian and the others waved their hands and said, “No need, no need. We’ll go now. We’ll take it as a walk to digest.”
When Xiao Zhou heard them say that, she did not try to persuade them anymore.
Xiao Zhou thought about it and said, “There are still many places that we haven’t gone to. For example, the Peach Blossom Forest, the reservoir, and the water fountain. They are all very beautiful places. I hope you guys will enjoy them!”
After eating their fill, Ian and the others followed Xiao Zhou for a walk. Then, they boarded the sightseeing tour bus and went to the places that Little Zhou had mentioned.
Because they had Xiao Zhou as their guide, and because they had the tour bus, they had the best tour.
Xiao Zhou brought them to the foot of the Peach Forest Mountain. She pointed at a patch of peach forest on the mountain and said, “This is the peach forest area.”
Ian and the others looked at the lush green peach trees on the entire mountain and were a little surprised. “So many peach trees.”
Xiao Zhou nodded and said, “Yes. Peach trees have been planted on these few mountains. There are more than ten thousand of them. It’s just that it’s not the peach blossom season right now. If it’s the blooming season, this place is so romantic and beautiful. The swaying peach branches and the pink petals danced in the air. It’s really too beautiful.”
Listening to Xiao Zhou’s introduction, Ian and his friends could imagine such a beautiful and romantic scene. Ian said, “Yeah, we’ll definitely come and take a look when the peach trees are blooming.”
Xiao Zhou said, “There are hundreds and thousands of varieties of fruit trees on this mountain. Should we go up and get to know them?”
Ian and the others took a look and nodded. “Yes, let’s go and take a look!”
If they didn’t take the opportunity now, they didn’t know if they would have the time in the future.
