Komatsu's Love Defense

After I returned to the Gourmet Hotel, I started to deal with the mountain of work. Just as I was concentrating, I suddenly heard the manager's scream. At this time, A Lu was lying on the glass at the kitchen door, looking inside curiously.

Ah Lu walked straight to the kitchen, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, and enthusiastically invited me: "Xiaosong, let's go to the food city together tonight, it's my treat!"

Faced with such a generous invitation, I nodded happily and agreed: "Okay, but there are many customers in the store today, so you may need to wait a while. How about you sit in the restaurant and eat something first?"

When Ah Lu heard that there was food, his eyes immediately became bright and he could not wait to come to the restaurant. He ordered a large table of sumptuous food without hesitation and then gobbled it up like a whirlwind.

Seeing A-lu eating heartily, I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. When I finally finished all the tedious work at hand, the clock had quietly pointed to six o'clock in the afternoon.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and a colorful sunset glow appeared in the sky. I packed my things in a hurry and set off for the food city with Alu.

The train we were on sped through the night, and as the train shook, we gradually approached the Food City.

When the train stopped at the platform, A'lu hurried out of the carriage, and I hurried to follow him. A familiar yet strange atmosphere hit me in the face. The lights of the food city were brilliant at night, and the restaurants and stalls on both sides of the street exuded tempting aromas.

We walked along the street and soon arrived at the Food Tower. This towering building was even more majestic in the night, with colorful lights flashing on the tower.

Alu took me into the food tower and enthusiastically led me into the elevator. The elevator door slowly closed, accompanied by a slight mechanical sound, and we slowly climbed to the top of the food tower.

The light in the elevator was soft and bright, reflecting Ah Lu's expectant expression. As the floors increased, my heartbeat also accelerated involuntarily, looking forward to the food journey that was about to be revealed.

Finally, the elevator stopped at the 273rd floor, and the door slowly opened, revealing a bright view. We walked out of the elevator and came to a seven-star barbecue restaurant called "Healthy".

As soon as you walk into the store, you will be greeted by the rich aroma of barbecue, which makes you salivate. The restaurant's decoration is elegant yet modern, creating a comfortable and pleasant dining atmosphere.

A Lu took me to a private room. In the corner of the restaurant, there was a spacious observation deck. We walked over and sat down. Through the bright glass windows, we could see the spectacular scenery outside.

The city skyline in the distance looks particularly charming in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the streets nearby are bustling with cars and people coming and going, forming a vivid urban picture.

The atmosphere in the store was warm and peaceful, with the faint aroma of charcoal and barbecue intertwined and filled the air. A Lu sat opposite me, his face filled with a happy smile.

A Lu skillfully ordered several special grilled meats and side dishes from the waiter. Soon, the waiter came over with a tray and placed the delicious grilled meats and side dishes on our table.

Alu picked up the barbecue tongs with great interest and placed slices of tender barbecued meat on the grill. The barbecued meat gave off an alluring aroma under the charcoal fire, and the fat sizzled on the charcoal fire.

When the meat was grilled to golden brown and crispy, A-Lu picked it up and handed it to me on the plate: "It's done, Xiaosong, here you go!"

"Thank you. I'll be welcome then." I took the barbecue and took a light bite. My mouth was immediately filled with fragrance and my taste buds were completely ignited.

The grilled meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat is juicy and delicious. It is paired with the special sauce for a unique flavor.

I looked at A Lu who was sitting opposite me with a big smile on my face and thanked him sincerely: "Mr. A Lu, thank you very much! This is the first time I have tasted such delicious barbecue. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to come to the store on the upper floor of the Food Tower. It all feels like being in a dream."

A Lu smiled slightly, picked up a piece of grilled meat with chopsticks, gently put it into his mouth and chewed slowly: "Haha, indeed, the stores above the 200th floor of the Food Tower basically refuse first-time visitors. What's more, the upper part here can only be entered from the air by airship. It is a store for members only. I'll introduce you to it when I have the chance."

I quickly rejected A-Lu's kindness: "No, no, it's enough. This is the Seven Stars Healthy BBQ Restaurant. I am very happy to be able to eat the highest quality beef, pork and bird!"

At this time, the waiter came in with the dishes, with a friendly smile on his face: "Sorry to have kept you waiting, this is top-quality beef back, tenderloin, tripe and diaphragm."

Alu picked up the barbecued meat from the plate and put it on his own plate, then looked up and said to me, "Actually, Xiaosong, although this restaurant is famous for its barbecue, there are other menu items that are more famous than meat."

Hearing this, I immediately became curious and asked with a puzzled look on my face: "Huh? A menu that is more famous than barbecue? Is it really that special?"

A Lu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and replied slowly: "That is, vegetables!"

Just as I was staring at A Lu with my mouth wide open in amazement, the waiter came over with a large plate of vegetables and said to us with a smile: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. This is a vegetable platter. Please enjoy it slowly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw plates of colorful vegetables, like exquisite works of art, neatly placed in the middle of the dining table.

First of all, there are the emerald green lettuce leaves, which are arranged in layers, like crystal clear emerald green gems, emitting a fresh and pleasant luster. On the side, the thinly shredded purple cabbage forms a sharp contrast with the emerald green, which is eye-catching.

On the edge of the plate, the golden corn kernels are like shining pearls, emitting an alluring sweet aroma. The carrot slices next to them are cleverly carved into the shape of flowers, alternating between red and orange, with bright colors.

In addition, there are rosy tomato slices, white mushroom slices, emerald green pepper rings, etc., all of which are carefully arranged on the plate.

I gently picked up a lettuce leaf. The emerald green color sparkled with vibrant luster under the light, and the edges of the leaves were slightly curled.

I took a closer look and could clearly see the veins of the lettuce: "What a bright color!"

A Lu pointed to the barbecued meat beside him that was emitting an alluring aroma, and said with a smile: "That's lettuce. Wrap the beef back with it and try it!"

I obediently picked up the lettuce leaves, picked up a piece of perfectly grilled meat with chopsticks, and gently placed it on the lettuce. The surface of the meat was golden and crispy, but the inside was tender and juicy, and the aroma it exuded was mouth-watering.

I carefully wrapped the lettuce leaves around the meat to create a perfect package. Then, I took a bite, and the crispness of the lettuce and the richness of the meat intertwined and burst into my mouth.

I closed my eyes, enjoying this rare delicacy, and couldn't help but praise it: "The sweetness of the lettuce neutralizes the greasiness of the barbecue, while the aroma of the barbecue enhances the taste of the lettuce. The two complement each other."

Ah Lu looked at my satisfied expression and also showed a satisfied smile, skillfully turning the vegetables on the grill: "The protagonist of healthy barbecue is not the meat, but these healthy vegetables!"

In front of him was a pile of roasted vegetables. Ah Lu picked up a roasted golden corn, took a bite, closed his eyes in satisfaction, and reveled in the sweet taste. Not to be outdone, I picked up a piece of roasted pumpkin, and the soft texture made me nod my head repeatedly.

As time went by, the grilled vegetables on the table gradually disappeared in our mouths. Ah Lu sighed with satisfaction from time to time, and I couldn't help but speed up the rhythm of my chopsticks.

Finally, only a few vegetable scraps were left on the table. A-Lu and I smiled at each other, both feeling unprecedented satisfaction and happiness.
