The two of them were talking when Mo Jiaolan returned from outside.

Ling Feng suddenly stood up and said, "I also want to go to the washroom, I’ve been holding it all morning!"

Chen Yuhe glared at him, "Then go, do you have to announce it?"

Mo Jiaolan covered her mouth and laughed softly, "The washroom is in the yard at the back, there are signs." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Great!"

Ling Feng stood up and walked out of the building, making his way to the yard out back.

Turns out, the house had two sections. The front row was the restaurant, and it seemed like the back row was for living quarters. Several women’s garments were even hanging on the clothesline in the yard.

Ling Feng entered the washroom and relieved the pressure in his body, emerging with a look of utter relief and washed his hands at the sink.

Just then, the proprietress happened to come out of the house, eyed him up and down, and suddenly clicked her tongue, "Young man, you’re impressive, coming to eat with two beautiful ladies. Which family’s son are you?"

"The Ling Family," Ling Feng replied.

The proprietress paused, pondered for a moment, and mumbled to herself, "I haven’t heard of any wealthy Lings in the county."

"Not wealthy, but my dad’s surname is Ling, so of course, I’m from the Ling Family," Ling Feng said with a smile.

Realization dawned on the proprietress, and she looked at him askance, "Smooth-talker, come on, tell me which miss you’re after. Maybe your sister can help!"

Ling Feng was a bit surprised, smiled at her, and his gaze lingered reluctantly on the swell of her chest before he asked, "Why would you want to help me?"

"Just curious, I want to see if you have some special skills!" the proprietress threw a flirtatious wink his way!

Ling Feng hadn’t expected her to be so provocative. Seeing they were alone, he then smiled and said, "What skills? Wouldn’t you know once you try?"

"Sure, why don’t you come inside with me?" the proprietress challenged with a tilted chin!

Ling Feng returned to the private room, and within minutes, a server brought in the dishes.

Soon after, the subsequent courses arrived, a balance of meat and vegetables. Mo Jiaolan took care to introduce, "Ling Feng, you have to try this dish. It’s the signature dish of our restaurant, usually, you have to make a reservation to get it!"

"Really?"

Ling Feng looked at the plate, filled with pale yellow strips and white slices that didn’t seem to resemble any kind of meat.

"It’s a combination of delicacies from both the south and the north, all finest selections from the mountain treasures. Try it quickly and broaden your horizons!" Chen Yuhe pursed her lips and said.

Ling Feng glared at her, picked up a piece of the yellow strip, put it in his mouth, and immediately the name of the item came to mind.

So he looked up and smiled, "Isn’t it just bamboo shoots? The somewhat rarer Morel Mushrooms, what’s so unusual?"

"Eh?"

Chen Yuhe’s eyes immediately went round with curiosity upon hearing his words, "You knew it just from tasting?"

"Of course, this tongue of mine is a rare and divine ’Incense Stick’ that comes once in a century!" Ling Feng casually boasted.

One could tell she knew he was just bragging; Chen Yuhe wrinkled her nose and said, "Then try this one and see if you can tell what it is!"

Ling Feng certainly wasn’t worried. He picked up a piece of the white sliced ingredient and put it into his mouth, immediately tasting a unique fragrance and promptly praised, "It tastes really good!"

"Quick, what is it?" Chen Yuhe impatiently asked.

"No need to ask. With such a rich aroma, it can only be a champignon mushroom, and it’s the kind that grows in the mountain meadows, not the ones from the grasslands!" Ling Feng said with a smile.

Even though he appeared nonchalant, he was actually quite surprised inside. Having grown up in the mountains, he had eaten his fair share of mushrooms, but the taste of this champignon was so rich that it was indeed his first time experiencing it.

The moment he finished speaking, Chen Yuhe completely lost her temper and looked up at Mo Jiaolan, "Sis, where did you dig up such a freak? How could he know that?"

Mo Jiaolan was curious too, but she didn’t continue to inquire and instead said, "Let’s eat quickly. The dishes will get cold soon!"

Ling Feng had a few more bites of the sautéed mushrooms with bamboo shoots. The fresh sweetness and rich flavor were unforgettable. After each bite, one would want to take another— it seemed impossible to stop.

He very much wanted to ask the lady boss right now where they sourced these mushrooms from so that he could also pick some to bring home for Li Yumei and Li Shiyun to taste.

However, out of politeness, he held back and then looked up at Mo Jiaolan.

Noticing his glance, Mo Jiaolan seemed to read his mind and introduced, "What makes this dish special is its rare ingredients. The bamboo shoots have to be transported from the south, and the champignons must be fresh. There are only one or two months in a year when they’re available, and even then, they’re not always easy to find."

As she spoke, she pointed to a pot of soup on the table, "Try this too. It’s dried champignons with pheasant stewed together, it tastes pretty good as well."

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately scooped a spoonful into his bowl and drank it, releasing a satisfied exhale, "Great soup!"

"Tastes good, right? It’s a pity that these mushrooms are so rare, ordinary people can hardly find them," Chen Yuhe said while eating.

Mo Jiaolan smiled, "They’re not that scarce. These mushrooms can still be found in the grasslands, but to supply them in large quantities is indeed difficult because they can’t be cultivated artificially; one can only pick the wild ones."

Hearing this, a glint appeared in Ling Feng’s eyes, "So you’re saying, these mushrooms are quite valuable?"

"I heard from the lady boss before that the dried ones used to go for a thousand a kilogram, and the fresh ones for a hundred a kilogram. The price has probably gone up by now," Mo Jiaolan said.

"That expensive?"

After hearing the price, Ling Feng was stunned and a thought suddenly popped into his head: If he could grow these mushrooms, wouldn’t that make him rich?

But he knew it would not be easy, so he nodded, "Got it, thanks Jiaolan. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know such delicious things exist in this world."

"You, just keep hanging out with us, and you’ll get to taste even more good stuff!" Chen Yuhe took the opportunity to interject, causing Mo Jiaolan’s face to redden.

However, Ling Feng didn’t care about the remark and just nodded, "Sure, and if I come up with something delicious at home, I’ll invite you to taste it too!"

"You? Aren’t you a doctor?" Chen Yuhe asked.

"Yes, but I have other skills too. You’ll know what they are in the future!" Ling Feng deliberately played the tease.

Chen Yuhe looked skeptical, staring into his eyes for a while before suddenly turning to Mo Jiaolan and saying, "Sis, this guy knows everything. He must be no good!"

Ling Feng, who was drinking soup, spat it out upon hearing this and exclaimed in anger, "What kind of logic is that, you girl?"
