Chapter 724: Think More About Everything! (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Beneath the majestic green mountains, the white tower stands against the green city!
As a shining gem in the northwest, Hohhot boasts not only a long history but also a variety of delicious cuisines and breathtaking scenery that captivates visitors.
“Si Cong, I have to admit, your father has quite an eye for things!” Standing by the hotel window, Zhou Chao gazed down at the bustling Yida Square below and couldn’t help but praise Old Wang’s foresight.
Leaning back on the sofa, Si Cong heard Zhou Chao’s compliment and couldn’t hide a smug smile on his face. “You’re right about that. If my dad heard you, he’d be grinning for days.”
“Is it that exaggerated?” Zhou Chao chuckled.
Once prompted, Si Cong became animated. His lazy demeanor vanished as he sat up straight. “Of course! You don’t know my dad. He loves compliments. When he hears someone praising him, he’s over the moon, especially when it’s coming from you.”
Hearing this, Zhou Chao burst into laughter. If Old Wang heard this, it would likely turn into a scene of fatherly pride!
Even Lin Wu couldn’t help but chuckle at the exchange, watching Si Cong squirm uncomfortably.
“Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!” A strange sound suddenly rang out.
Lin Wu’s laughter halted abruptly as his gaze followed the sound, landing on Zhou Chao’s stomach.
“Haha, I didn’t expect even Zhou Chao’s stomach to growl. How rare! It’s getting late now. Let’s go grab some food,” Si Cong said with a smile, finding their little mishap quite amusing.
“It seems like my stomach also wants to taste the local delicacies of Hohhot,” Zhou Chao said, unfazed by their teasing. After all, it was only natural.
With that, the three of them got ready and headed out. Originally, Zhou Chao had planned to explore and find some authentic local cuisine in Hohhot, but considering his unfamiliarity with the place, he deferred to Si Cong’s suggestion and settled for a relatively authentic local restaurant within Yida Square.
As the saying goes, when eating meat, one must savor the bones. And when it comes to bones, nothing beats lamb spine.
The lamb spine bones, also known as lamb scorpions in common parlance, were what they were looking for. After wandering around Yida, the trio found a restaurant with a sign advertising authentic lamb scorpions.
As soon as the lamb spine was served, the three of them dug in eagerly.
After a mouthful, Lin Wu was left with nothing but bones stripped clean of meat. “Boss, I feel like today’s lamb tastes almost the same as yesterday’s, if not slightly better in texture!”
As someone who often accompanied Zhou Chao in indulging in various culinary delights, Lin Wu was beginning to develop his own discerning palate. After all, having eaten so much delicious food, it would be embarrassing not to be able to tell the difference!
“It does taste a bit better!” Si Cong chimed in, holding up a piece of lamb spine.
“Well, that’s to be expected! Can’t you two believe it? We’re in Inner Mongolia now. Who wouldn’t want to have some fresh lamb while we’re here?” Zhou Chao rolled his eyes at the two of them and continued eating.
Si Cong and Lin Wu exchanged glances, feeling that Zhou Chao’s words made sense. After all, they were on the grasslands. Who would want to eat frozen meat when they could have freshly slaughtered ones?
After half an hour of feasting, the three men devoured two pots of lamb spine before finally setting down their chopsticks, thoroughly satisfied.
“Young Master Zhou, do we have any plans for the afternoon?” Si Cong lounged lazily in his chair, feeling a bit stuffed after their hearty meal.
Zhou Chao shook his head slightly. “I’m not sure either. I’m not familiar with Hohhot, and I don’t know anyone here. How about we just wander around this afternoon?”
Si Cong nodded. Originally, he had thought about having Yida Group in Hohhot arrange a guide. But since Zhou Chao had said so, he swallowed that idea.
Leaving Yida Square, they randomly chose a direction and walked along the main street.
The roads in Hohhot were quite interesting. In just ten minutes, Zhou Chao and the others passed through four or five intersections, something they hadn’t encountered in the cities they had visited before.
Moreover, there weren’t many tall buildings in Hohhot. Most of the buildings along the way were low-rise structures with a distinctive vintage feel. They could even see the Yin Mountains in the distance.
Considering that Hohhot had a permanent population of three million, it was surprising that the city wasn’t filled with skyscrapers like other major cities. Instead, it added a unique charm to the city.
“Young Master Zhou, do you have any plans for later? We’re not just going to hang around in Hohhot for a few days, are we?” Si Cong, who enjoyed lively environments, found shopping with two men rather dull.
“I have something to take care of here. I’ll figure out where to go after I’m done. By the way, I’ve already shipped my Karlmann King over here!” Zhou Chao said.
Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Si Cong was stunned. Although he didn’t explicitly say it, Si Cong understood Zhou Chao’s implication. Once he was done with his business, he intended to embark on an exciting road trip. After all, going through all the trouble of shipping the “giant” from Modu to here was definitely not for commuting purposes!
“Young Master Zhou, you didn’t even give me a heads up so I could prepare!” Si Cong looked at Zhou Chao with some resentment.
Seeing Si Cong’s reaction, Zhou Chao got goosebumps and hurriedly walked a few steps ahead.
“I did tell you in advance! You wanted to arrange a few beauties to accompany us, didn’t you? So we’d have someone to keep us warm during that cold journey?”
