Chapter 654: Chapter 654
Wang Xiaoxiao gave Su Fan a white-eyed glance before speaking, "Do you think this is like turning me on and off with a button? It's not like you need to pinch me twice before I can talk."
Having said that, she continued, "I remember it's the second intersection up ahead where we turn left, let's go check it out. If it's not there, we can ask someone."
Su Fan nodded, and the trio headed for Teng Niu Pavilion Hotpot Restaurant.
Initially, Teng Niu Pavilion Hotpot Restaurant was located in the business district.
But the rental costs in the business district were too high; Teng Niu Pavilion couldn't afford them.
Then Teng Niu Pavilion moved twice, settling on the fourth try at the food street here.
Even so, it seemed that Teng Niu Pavilion might not last much longer.
Teng Niu Pavilion followed traditional craftsmanship handed down from ancestors. They used only the best ingredients, and the preparation was quite troublesome.
Most of the spices and seasonings they used were all-natural.
This led to high costs for Teng Niu Pavilion, making their prices higher than other similar hotpot places.
When it comes to eating, people first want to be full, then they look for delicious food, and only lastly do they seek natural and healthy options.
Because of the high cost of raw materials and complicated cooking techniques, Teng Niu Pavilion couldn't lower its prices.
Even some of the regulars didn't choose Teng Niu Pavilion as their first option when dining.
This was causing problems for the management of Teng Niu Pavilion.
If things continued this way, it might not be long before Teng Niu Pavilion could indeed no longer operate.
When Su Fan, Wang Xiaoxiao, and Shen He arrived at Teng Niu Pavilion, he noticed that the number of customers dining there was neither high nor low.
The three of them, of course, did not eat in the main hall but entered a private room instead.
After they arrived at the private room, a waiter came over.
"Good evening, guests. What would you like to eat?"
"Here is our menu at Teng Niu Pavilion."
"If there's something you want that's not on the menu, you can also let us know. If our chef can make it, we can provide it."
The service at Teng Niu Pavilion was clearly very good.
As soon as the waiter spoke, Su Fan immediately picked up the menu.
The waiter had brought over exactly three menus, which he naturally handed to Shen He and Wang Xiaoxiao as well.
Teng Niu Pavilion mainly sold various beef dishes, with its signature dish being beef hotpot.
After grabbing their menus, Su Fan, Wang Xiaoxiao, and Shen He started to order their food.
Once the trio finished ordering, the waiter took the menus and left.
After waiting for a while, Su Fan noticed that the serving speed of Teng Niu Pavilion was somewhat slow.
Aside from bringing over the broth base for the hotpot and the ingredients,
the other dishes took quite a while to be made one after the other.
However, once all the dishes were served, Su Fan also noticed,
each dish at Teng Niu Pavilion was made with great delicacy.
Su Fan didn't start with the dishes but took a sip of the homemade Baijiu at Teng Niu Pavilion first.
After he took a sip of the Baijiu from Teng Niu Pavilion, he couldn't help but be slightly impressed.
The liquor was clearly brewed entirely from grains, and the brewing technique was very good.
After finishing a cup, Su Fan poured a cup for Shen He and Wang Xiaoxiao as well.
"Try this, their liquor is quite good."
Shen He wasn't very fond of Baijiu, but she still picked up her glass and took a sip.
This liquor, purely made from grains, had a perfect balance of alcohol content and was very pleasant to drink.
Although Wang Xiaoxiao also picked up her glass, she playfully said, "Divine Doctor Su, are you trying to get me and Sister Shen He drunk tonight?"
Hearing her say that, Su Fan simply poured himself another cup and drank it.
Then, in Wang Xiaoxiao's surprised gaze, he suddenly pulled her towards him,
and fed her the liquor from his mouth into hers.
After Wang Xiaoxiao finished drinking, he still didn't let her go but fiercely sucked on Wang Xiaoxiao's tongue and scraped her mouth.
