Chapter 549: 549. Super affordable buffet_1 Chapter 549: 549. Super affordable buffet_1 The girl pointed at the camera.

“No worries, sister,” Qiaoqiao showed her, “When the camera’s not on the scenery, it’s on me. Brother said without other people’s permission, you can’t film their faces.”

“I’ll turn it around to show everyone the dishes later.”

Reassured by her arrangements, the other person became even happier and casually asked, “So, are you guys having this for lunch too?”

“Of course!”

Zhang Yanping came over, “After coming all this way, climbing mountains and crossing seas, it’d be too unreasonable not to have a meal. Besides–”

He lowered his voice, “100 yuan back home only gets you a bowl of little crayfish.”

Oh, how he craved the food from home right now… yet all that was left in his bag were chili sauce and soybeans.

“It’s the same for me–but crayfish are really delicious!”

The girl finally found someone who shared her sentiments.

Zhang Yanping also sighed, “Yeah, I’ll have to scour the rice paddies later on. Without crayfish in summer, there’s just no soul.”

Qiaoqiao blinked, “I’ve never had crayfish… Brother, where did my soul go?”

He had truly never had it.

Crayfish had only become popular in recent years, and back then there weren’t any short videos teaching people various ways of cooking. Not to mention Lao Song’s family, hardly anyone in the entire village ate that stuff.

After all, there were plenty of things to eat in the village, and this thing was both tiring and troublesome to prepare, not to mention it lacked any substantial meat.

Zhang Yanping: …

He wiped his face, dead serious, “It turned into light, I guess.”

The girl: … Pfft!

The barrage of comments laughed wildly: [Hahaha, crayfish, soul capturers!]

[Can’t lie, every time I have midnight snacks, I get my soul hooked]

[Look at you all, so weak-willed. It’s just crayfish! I can eat its hundred offspring to retrieve my soul!]

[The guy in front, I can even launch the garlic spicy braised secret technique to save souls!]

[Is turning into light for real? What flavor of crayfish does Ultraman like?]

[Probably monster-flavored…]

[Wrong! Definitely nuclear-flavored!]

The barrage was ablaze with enthusiasm, and newcomers to the livestream, even if they couldn’t see much, still joined in the fervent discussion…

As Qiaoqiao and the others were talking, they suddenly heard a familiar figure huffing past them in a straight charge.

They were momentarily stunned, and then the girl pointed at the person:

“What’s she huffing at! She bumped into me this morning and she hasn’t even apologized!”

“Really?” Qiaoqiao hurriedly turned her head, but only caught a glimpse of the person’s back.

And the live chat went wild again–

[What’s that person huffing at]

[Who huffed at our Teacher Qiaoqiao! And she bumped into someone…]

[Why is it that whenever you travel you always encounter such people, so ill-mannered]

[Sounds like it’s not the first time based on the noise]

However, Qiaoqiao didn’t make a big deal out of this episode. She just saw Xin Jun waving at the dining entrance and quickly lifted the camera.

“Kids, it’s time to eat. I’ll take you to check out the 100 yuan luxury seafood buffet! It must be super delicious!”

What he didn’t see was the barrage slipping through with some indistinct comments:

[I suggest the host not to have too high expectations…]

[That is to say… if you look closely at the reviews on the rating website, the focus is mainly on its affordability…]

[Indeed, it is affordable…]

What does that mean?

Xin Jun, who had taken out his phone to casually check, was stunned.

…

At that moment, Qiaoqiao had already rushed into the restaurant.

Unexpectedly, although the restaurant looked impressive, the ordering counter was not surrounded on all sides like other buffets, but was just a short row.

In terms of size, it was even smaller than the hotel’s buffet breakfast that morning.

Zhang Yanping suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The next moment, he heard Qiaoqiao exclaim, “Wow, is this the seafood buffet? There’s so much!”

“But…” He patted his stomach, looking somewhat dejected, “Qiaoqiao can’t eat that much, am I going to lose out?”

A girl nearby also came over, her face stiff, “Seafood… buffet?”

Her boyfriend immediately turned to find the tour guide, “Isn’t this a scam? Where’s the seafood buffet, this is clearly a fast-food buffet!”

Sure enough, along the long row of tables, there were hardly any serious seafood dishes; instead, a large pot of white spiral shell and winter melon soup occupied the central position. Next to it were crab roe fried noodles, dried scallop fried rice noodles, lobster… meat fried rice, sea urchin steamed sticky rice…

Truth be told, if we’re talking about seafood, the ingredients were indeed plentiful.

But the problem was, you can’t waste food at a buffet, and how much of this staple food would one have to eat to get their money’s worth?

Qiaoqiao was also dumbfounded.

At that moment, she looked helplessly at Zhang Yanping, only to see him staring at the live broadcast, his expression just as helpless.

As everyone knows, people’s love for fun is endless. For example, right now, Teacher Qiaoqiao was deceived, but the live stream was bustling with activity, filled with a lively atmosphere–

[Hahahahahahaha, what an affordable seafood buffet]

[Little tour guide, I’ll remember you, you really know how to lead a group]

[Truth be told, there’s quite a lot of lobster meat in that fried rice, just don’t know why it doesn’t seem worth a hundred hahahahahaha]

[Just look at the lady serving food at the buffet to know that there’s absolutely no choice in what you get]

[May I ask, that sea urchin steamed sticky rice… does the sea urchin actually exist?]

[How can it not exist? Isn’t the shell of the sea urchin there?]

[Host, go for it, the essence of a buffet is to eat your money’s worth!]

[I’m dying, to get your money’s worth you’d need at least three to five big bowls, can the host handle that?]

[I think it’s not that difficult because I could eat three big bowls of rice just with the sauce from the host’s house…]

[Seems like, seems like it…]

And Xin Jun’s eyes lit up, as he quietly opened his backpack, revealing not only green pepper beef sauce but also the simplest garlic chili sauce and even half a bottle of pickled cowpeas!

Zhang Yanping also opened his bag, “Didn’t we agree not to bring these today?”

Xin Jun smiled discreetly, “I always feel safer with them.”

Good lord, the viewers were equally numb:

[Just… with those, eating plain rice could be enough, right…]

[Well, maybe not quite, but for sure you can get your money’s worth at this buffet…]

[I’ll remember this place, next time I come, I’ll definitely bring my own steamed buns and chili sauce!]

Just as everyone was raring to go, there was suddenly a commotion at the door where the tour guide was!

The noise at the entrance was not small. Qiaoqiao glanced over and saw the girl who had spoken earlier with a red face and agitated expression. She subconsciously squeezed over. And with that couple, there was also a middle-aged couple holding a child, all of them shouting loudly, occasionally raising their arms, looking like they could start a fight at any moment.

As the first person responsible, the tour guide tried to wedge himself in the middle, getting squeezed from left to right, utterly overwhelmed!
