"Go ahead and order, no problem."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Vegetable salad, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, crispy fried lotus root slices, charcoal-grilled lamb chops, Clearwater Chicken, Heart-Talk Fruit Juice."

The vegetable salad and stir-fried seasonal vegetables are definitely made with vegetables from Xishan Manor, just to let Beth taste the flavor of the vegetables, making it more authentic.

The crispy fried lotus root slices are absolutely the signature dish of Xi Shan Restaurant, because the uniqueness of the lotus root makes this dish so delicious.

The other vegetables are mostly irrigated with Spirit Spring Water, but these lotus roots grow directly in Spirit Spring Water, absorbing the nutrients throughout the year, turning the lotus root into something as smooth as jade.

Therefore, the lotus root from Xishan Manor is also called White Jade Lotus Root; this dish can absolutely win over Beth.

The charcoal-grilled lamb chops are made from Xishan Manor's goats, with guaranteed meat quality.

Then there's the Clearwater Chicken, which needs no further explanation. It's the most amazing dish online, with legendary status.

They say you don't add anything to this dish, you just put the chicken in to stew. When it comes out, the broth is clear, but the meat is incredibly delicious.

Some people even wonder what it would be like to taste the chickens of Xishan Manor raw.

Actually, it's not as miraculous as it seems online; no matter the dish, without any seasoning, it wouldn't taste good.

After finishing the order, Ling Zhenfei went back, returning to Beth's side.

Beth pointed to the Heart-Talk Fruit Juice in front of her and said, "This Ziling Fruit Juice is truly amazing. Last time on the plane, I was extremely amazed. It felt like magic.

Today, drinking it again makes life feel so wonderful. If, in the future, I could have a glass of Ziling Fruit Juice every day, it would be perfect."

Ling Zhenfei faintly smiled without saying anything, but in his heart, he thought, "A glass of Ziling Fruit Juice has already conquered Beth. I wonder what she'll be like after the Heart-Talk Fruit."

After a while, the dishes Ling Zhenfei ordered were served. Beth was somewhat stunned looking at the dishes on the table.

"They look so exquisite."

Indeed, they are exquisite. Xue Fei and Bai Lin have specifically studied the art of plating.

As the saying goes, a dish should satisfy color, aroma, and taste; plating falls under the category of color, not just in the color of the ingredients but in the overall appearance of the dish.

Ling Zhenfei knows that the difference between a high-end restaurant and a regular one is really about attention to detail, so all the tableware at Xi Shan Restaurant is custom-made.

After his relationship with Qin Lan changed, Ling Zhenfei even ordered a batch of very high-end tableware from Qin Lan's company, elevating the standards of Xi Shan Restaurant significantly.

Plating is handled by specialists; this is what they call professionalism.

"Alright, Miss Beth, you can give it a try now." Ling Zhenfei made a gesture inviting Beth to start.

Beth looked at the table full of dishes and said, "I really don't know where to begin; I'm starting to feel unsophisticated."

Ling Zhenfei said, "The dishes are yours; you can eat them however you like."

Beth nodded, then took her camera to snap a few photos, before finally starting to eat. She first picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

"Wow, these vegetables are just too delicious." Beth exclaimed after just one bite.

Beth is a professional, so what she's praising is the vegetables themselves, marveling at how tasty Xishan Manor's vegetables are.

Indeed, the purpose of the stir-fried seasonal vegetables is to highlight the flavor of the produce itself. The dish is stir-fried quickly, from start to finish in just ten seconds, otherwise it wouldn't taste good.

If the dish is fried for too short a time, it also doesn't taste good, because then it would just be raw vegetables.

So, while this dish appears to be the simplest, it's actually very complex to execute.

Beth had her laptop recording as she ate, giving her material to use when she writes later.

Ling Zhenfei was also very satisfied, having great confidence in Xishan Manor's vegetables. As long as the stir-frying is done properly, there won't be any issues.

At this point, Beth started on the second dish, opting for the crispy fried White Jade Lotus Root this time.

The White Jade Lotus Root, resembling pure jade, was placed in Beth's mouth, her teeth biting into it and producing a crisp sound.

After finishing, Beth actually stood up and performed a little dance next to the table, startling Ling Zhenfei. He didn't know what was going on with Beth, bewildered by such a spontaneous act.

Back in her seat, Beth sheepishly looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "I apologize, I was just so overwhelmed by how delicious this dish is, I couldn't help myself."

"It's alright, everyone's first time at Xi Shan Restaurant is about the same."

While talking, Beth continued eating, taking several more bites before pausing and then turning her focus to Ling Zhenfei, as at that moment, he was helping her cut the lamb chops.

The lamb chops were delicate, and as the knife cut through, revealing the tender red meat inside, it also released the aroma.

"Try it, Miss Beth, the charcoal-grilled lamb chops."

Beth, very excited, said, "You should eat too, Mr. Ling. Don't mind me, or else I might finish everything myself."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, handing the lamb chop over to Beth, who readily began to eat without reserve.

After finishing, Beth unexpectedly teared up and felt the urge to dance again, but she restrained herself this time.

"Having been in the culinary field for so many years, having traveled across Europe, I've visited countless Michelin-starred restaurants, but all those meals are nothing compared to these dishes. It's truly saddening to think about it."

Ling Zhenfei knew he had succeeded. From the first dish, Beth had been won over. Now, it could be said without doubt that there wouldn't be a single negative comment about Xi Shan Restaurant in Beth's food article.

"Miss Beth, don't hurry; this upcoming Clearwater Chicken is the main highlight of this meal."

Beth shook her head, saying, "I'm a bit afraid to try it; I fear that if I continue eating, I wouldn't want to leave here."

"But if you leave, and can't find such delicious food elsewhere, wouldn't you be worried?"

Beth, a bit helpless, said, "You know the most melancholic thing in the world? It's the distance between a person and great food. Sometimes it's like that; knowing where good food is, you have to go to it.

Yet, the delicacies of this restaurant seem heavenly to me; sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming, afraid I'll wake up after eating the final dish."

Ling Zhenfei found it amusing that a meal could evoke such profound sentiments; it was quite something.

Nonetheless, Ling Zhenfei uncovered the Clearwater Chicken, releasing a wave of aroma that immediately captured Beth's attention.

Ling Zhenfei personally ladled a bowl of soup for Beth, adding a few pieces of chicken to it.

Despite previously saying she was apprehensive about eating more, the allure of the cuisine was irresistible to a seasoned foodie.

Beth gently sipped a spoonful of the soup, and her facial expression said it all.

She looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "I'm starting to doubt who you really are. Are you sure you belong to this world?"
