The second dish was poached chicken. The owner said it was free-range chicken from their orchard, fed grains and fruit instead of feed, resulting in fragrant meat and smooth skin.

The farmhouse courtyard serves fresh seafood raised in the owner's orchard, which is different from the seafood sold in the market and doesn't have the same strong gamey smell.

After eating a little something, Pu Xi couldn't wait to try the fruit wine that everyone said was pretty good.

A sip of fruit wine goes down her throat; it's not spicy, and the alcohol flavor is very mild, just fruity. The alcohol flavor only comes through in the aftertaste, like drinking fruit juice, which she likes.

Su Yunye's eyes lit up when he saw Pu Xi drinking fruit wine.

"like?"

“Mmm.” Pu Xi nodded; she did indeed like the fruit wine.

"I'll bring some back with me later."

"it is good."

The wild spring water fish were ready in no time. One was steamed to bring out its original flavor, and the other was made into lemon fish, which can also be considered a type of steamed dish. Both were lightly seasoned.

Pu Xi took a bite of the lemon fish; the meat was tender and smooth, with no fishy smell at all. Thumbs up!

Su Yunye found it quite cute that Pu Xi's eyes would light up when she ate something delicious.

Pu Xi was very satisfied with the meal; in fact, she was quite satisfied with every meal she ate with these big shots.

Meanwhile, Fu Shen, who had sent her a message but received no reply, had a somber expression.

After eating and drinking his fill, Pu Xi's alcohol kicked in, and he started to feel dizzy and unresponsive, though his mind remained clear.

Su Yunye was walking ahead, but when he got to the car, he realized that Pu Xi hadn't come over yet, so he went back to check and found Pu Xi sitting on the ground, looking dazed.

"you're drunk?"

Pu Xi reached out for him to help her up, and Su Yunye helped her up.

As a result, Pu Xi's body went limp and she was about to fall, so Su Yunye had no choice but to pick her up and carry her to the car.

"You got drunk from just a small glass of fruit wine? Your alcohol tolerance is terrible!"

"I'm not drunk," Pu Xi mumbled.

"You're not drunk yet, you can't even stand up straight."

Pu Xi pouted and stubbornly said, "I'm not drunk."

"Okay, okay, you're not drunk."

Su Yunye held Pu Xi in one arm and opened the car door with the other, placing Pu Xi in the passenger seat.

"God, why do I see you swaying? It's making me dizzy."

Su Yunye was fastening Pu Xi's seatbelt when Pu Xi's hands cupped his face. The cool touch on his face made Su Yunye frown and look at Pu Xi.

"Don't shake it, I'm dizzy, why are you still shaking even though I'm holding it?"

Su Yunye looked at the swaying Pu Xi and said, "It's not me swaying, it's you swaying. Go to sleep."

Pu Xi nodded blankly and closed her eyes to rest.

Su Yunye removed Pu Xi's hand and adjusted the chair for her so she could recline.

Exhaustion combined with the effects of alcohol caused Pu Xi to fall asleep without realizing it.

When they arrived at the hotel, they looked at Pu Xi, who was still asleep, and said, "Xi Xi, wake up."

He called Pu Xi several times but there was no response, so he had to call a hotel staff member to bring the luggage. He carried Pu Xi up to the room.

After settling Pu Xi in, Su Yunye left.

As soon as the door closed, Pu Xi opened her eyes, took out her phone, and made a voice call to Fu Shen.

The system looked at its host in surprise. Wasn't he drunk just now?

"Host, you're not drunk?"

"I'm drunk, and I'm very dizzy, but I'm still conscious."

The call was answered quickly, and Pu Xi also glanced at the message Fu Shen had sent her.

The call went through, but Fu Shen didn't speak, clearly angry. If she had known this would happen, she should have messaged Fu Shen first when she got off the plane. It seems she wasn't paying enough attention; if she had, she wouldn't have overlooked these issues.

"Fu Shen, I feel dizzy."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone: "Are you sick?"

"Maybe it's because I felt dizzy when I got off the plane. I was planning to message you after I got to the hotel, but I fell asleep and only just woke up and saw your message."

The system looked at Pu Xi with a shocked expression. It was a mix of half truth and a large part falsehood. Its host was really something.

"Have you taken your medicine?"

"not yet."

"Call a delivery person to buy some medicine."

Pu Xi continued, "I called, they'll be here soon."

"Rest after taking your medicine."

"Okay, Fu Shen, what are you doing?"

Fu Shen looked at the half-empty wine bottle on the table: "Take a break."

"Fu Shen, may I go wash up?"

"Well, let's go."

Pu Xi put down her phone, quickly washed her face, changed her clothes, and then came out.

"Fu Shen, the medicine has arrived. I'm going to take it and rest. My head is really dizzy."

"Ah."

"Are you angry?" Before Fu Shen could answer, Pu Xi continued, "I didn't mean to. I was afraid of bothering you, so I didn't send it to you right away. Please don't be angry."

"I'm not angry. Take your medicine and rest."

"really?"

"real."

"Fu Shen, I miss you."

"go to bed early."

"Okay, goodnight, Boss Fu."

After hanging up the phone, Pu Xi sent Fu Shen a goodnight emoji.

After doing all this, Pu Xi went straight to sleep, feeling dizzy and unwell.

……

the next day.

At noon, Pu Xi woke up with a headache. It seemed she shouldn't get drunk; being drunk was unpleasant, causing both dizziness and a headache.

This time, Pu Xi replied to the messages as soon as she got up, and then sent messages to the four big shots before going to wash up.

After washing up, Pu Xi ordered takeout. She was going to film the documentary at 5 p.m., so since she was awake, she decided to have lunch.

While waiting for her takeout, Pu Xi finished editing the video she hadn't finished before and posted it. She also tagged the store to complete another product review. Today was the last product review and the last day of the second round of the event. She had to go live tonight, otherwise her ranking would be in jeopardy.

She just checked her ranking in the event and it has dropped to 100. If she drops another place, she will miss the third round of the event.

After finishing her takeout, she still had to do research on the restaurants she was going to visit later, so she didn't have any free time at all.

After finishing the itinerary, it was already 5 pm. Pu Xi tidied herself up and prepared to go out. She also reported her upcoming itinerary to the four big shots.

When I arrived at the destination of this restaurant visit by taxi, it was already lunchtime. This time it was a Cantonese dim sum restaurant.

When Pu Xi arrived, there was already a queue outside the restaurant, but luckily she had made a reservation in advance and didn't have to wait.

"Hello, I have made an appointment with Ms. Pu."

"Wait a mininute."

The receptionist checked the records.

"Ms. Pu, a seat has been reserved for you. Please come in."

Looking at the restaurant, which was already full, Pu Xi sighed with relief that she had made a reservation.

Sitting down at the reserved table in the restaurant, Pu Xi looked at the menu. She had heard that the roasted pigeon, beef ribs, and poached chicken were all good. She ordered almost all the signature dishes without worrying about ordering too much.

Because this restaurant serves portions per person, never more, always less, its main idea is to let guests try all the dishes in the restaurant.
