Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

The Pangu watchers at the gate of the Wu family mansion were staring at the gate intently. Suddenly, the door that had been closed for a long time slowly opened. Wu Xie and Fatty Wang walked side by side, calmly and swaggeringly walked out.

When Pangu's subordinates first saw this scene, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After all, they had been waiting here for a long time and thought they would see some unusual sights, but the scene before them was a little unexpected. However, after just a moment, they quickly came to their senses, refocused their attention, and closely watched Wu Xie and Fatty Wang's every move.

At the same time, Xie Yuchen's spies shuttled among the crowd like ghosts. When they confirmed that they had disappeared from people's sight, they immediately reported to their superiors. Surprisingly, not only did the spies responsible for monitoring the front door act in this way, but even the people waiting at the back door of the Wu family mansion reported to their superiors at almost the same time: Wu Xie still quietly left through the back door as usual.

The superiors at all levels who received this information were stunned at first, but soon reacted. One of them decisively ordered: "The person who followed Fatty Wang out of the front door may not be the real Wu Xie, and the one who left from the back door may not be the fake Wu Xie. No matter what, you must keep a close eye on these two people!"

Then, this order was passed up the chain of command and finally reached Xie Yuchen. After listening to his subordinates' report, Xie Yuchen nodded slightly to show that he understood, and instructed: "Just continue to closely monitor the two of them. There is no need to intervene excessively. Just keep an eye on their direction of action and dynamic changes." Thus, a tense and exciting tracking and monitoring began...

Wu Xie followed Fatty Wang as they walked along the street, looking at everything and trying to get involved in everything. "Fatty, since that time with my third uncle, this is the first time I've lived such a relaxed life."

Wu Xie picked up a mirror from a street vendor and saw the familiar figures behind him through the mirror.

"Let's go! You must be hungry at this time. I'll treat you to a meal at Louwailou! Let's eat the most authentic West Lake vinegar fish!" Wu Xie put down the mirror and dragged Fatty Wang towards the most famous restaurant in Hangzhou.

Fatty Wang was still happily laughing at this moment, not knowing what would happen next. But if he had observed the people around him more and noticed the expressions on their faces and the nausea in their movements when they heard the words "most authentic West Lake vinegar fish", he would have known what the West Lake vinegar fish in Wu Xie's mouth was like.

Fatty Wang sat in the box of Louwailou, opened the window and took in the entire West Lake. "Ah! How clear the lake is! How clear and blue the sky is! How beautiful the scenery is!"

Wu Xie covered his forehead and looked at Fatty Wang who was in high spirits writing poetry. When he heard this sentence again, he felt so horrible!

"Fatty Wang! Stop embarrassing yourself! If all else fails, you can say a beautiful view of lakes and mountains!"

Fatty Wang was disturbed and cursed at Wu Xie, "Then let me ask our great talent! Can you please tell me something?"

"In March in the south of the Yangtze River, the rain is faint, and the umbrellas are covered with smoke and the fragrance is faint. In the summer, it is pleasant to be slightly tipsy, but you should take advantage of the shade of the beautiful trees."

Fatty Wang looked at the big sun outside. Although it was not June yet, the scorching sun was already burning his skin. "It's not March yet! It's almost June! Besides, you can't see the sun outside! Your poem is no good!"

Fatty Wang looked at Wu Xie with a mocking look, "I won't argue with a rough guy like you! Try this West Lake vinegar fish, it's a specialty of our Hangzhou!"

Wu Xie talked nonsense in a serious tone, urging Fatty Wang to quickly taste the fish on the table.

Fatty Wang picked up his chopsticks and looked at the vinegar fish on the plate. "This looks good, and it must taste good too... Ugh!!!"

Fatty Wang used his sturdy chopsticks to pick up half of the fish belly, then leaned against the window and vomited, his face turning blue.

Fatty Wang looked back at the delicious-looking fish on the table, and when he recalled the taste, the feeling of nausea came over him again.

"What's wrong with this fish?"

Wu Xie sat aside, holding a teacup in his hand. "You just can't eat it now. This is a famous dish in Hangzhou. What's going on? Many people come to Louwailou just for this dish!"

"Wu Xie! Bullshit! This fish is considered a dish! Why are so many people coming here for it? This fish died in vain in the hands of you Hangzhou people!"

Fatty Wang stuffed the plate of fish directly into the trash can in the private room with a sullen face. "Isn't Louwailou built by the water so that people who come here to eat can spit it out after eating? Your West Lake Vinegar Fish, the fish is fish and the vinegar is vinegar, the two are unrelated! How did you do it? All the top chefs have to worship them as their teachers!"

Wu Xie quickly grabbed Fatty Wang, who was about to go to the chef to settle the score, and quickly persuaded him, "Don't be impulsive, Fatty. The West Lake Vinegar Fish in Hangzhou has always been like this. If you can eat West Lake Vinegar Fish without any fishy smell, it means it is not authentic at all!"

Hearing this, Fatty Wang widened his eyes, stared at Wu Xie with suspicion, and retorted sarcastically: "What the hell? Could it be that the West Lake Vinegar Fish here is not even cleaned from the scales and gills, and is directly thrown into the pot to boil, then taken out and served on a plate?" After saying this, he deliberately emphasized his tone to express his dissatisfaction and doubt.

Faced with such sharp questioning from Fatty Wang, Wu Xie had no choice but to nod with a smile and explained: "Fatty, you are right, this is indeed how it is done. When I was young, I once followed my..., followed my third uncle and had the good fortune to visit the kitchen of their restaurant. I witnessed the entire process of making this dish with my own eyes, and it is exactly that way. " When he said this, Wu Xie paused for a moment, his eyes seemed a little evasive, but he quickly returned to normal.

Seeing this, Fatty Wang couldn't help but curl his lips and said sarcastically, "Okay, thank you for your hard work! In my opinion, Hangzhou is simply a food hell! But it doesn't matter. When you have time, you must come to our Yanjing to play. At that time, I will personally take you to visit all the old restaurants with a long history in Yanjing and let you taste what real delicious food is!"

When Wu Xie saw Fatty Wang throwing the West Lake Vinegar Fish into the trash can, he immediately and enthusiastically recommended other dishes to him: "Since it's already in the trash can, let's just ignore it! Come on, you have to try this Longjing Shrimp. Let me tell you, this dish is not simple, it is carefully fried with the finest pre-rain Longjing!"

Fatty Wang listened to Wu Xie's introduction with a half-believing and half-doubting look on his face, but he couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food after all, and carefully picked up a crystal clear shrimp with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He chewed it gently for a few times, then closed his eyes and savored it carefully. After a long while, his frown slowly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a satisfied smile.

After having a good meal and a good drink, the two left the restaurant contentedly. Strolling along the picturesque West Lake, the breeze gently brushed their cheeks, bringing a touch of coolness and comfort. While enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains, they talked and laughed, as if forgetting all their troubles. After strolling around the West Lake leisurely, the two returned to the Wu family mansion with a sense of satisfaction.

However, they didn't realize that there was a group of spies following them all the time. These spies came from different forces. The Xie family was relatively relaxed, thinking it was just a trip at public expense. But the Pangu people were not so happy. They worked hard to follow the target all the way, but in the end, the target did nothing but eat and go shopping. It was so boring. Thinking of having to report today's situation to their superiors, they all looked worried. They really didn't know how to explain to calm their superiors' anger!
