Chapter 181: Visit Luoxi Town

Chapter 181

Xiao Qi woke up to the familiar mechanical sound ringing in her ears again: "Host has obtained a bonus of 20,000 yuan based on her own abilities, which has brought positive energy to the surrounding classmates. Xiao Qi is rewarded with an additional 20,000 yuan, which must be spent within seven days. The additional reward money cannot be reinvested."

So Xiao Qi saw that in the interface, the previously appeared additional reward section showed 20,000 yuan separately, with a flashing number 7 behind it.

This was the second time Xiao Qi had received such a reward. She was much calmer this time. Anyway, there were still 7 days left. It was easy to spend money.

Today was Saturday. She only had club activities in the afternoon. Her morning was free. But she had made plans to go to foreign teacher Grace's home tomorrow. Xiao Qi wanted to buy gifts, so she thought about going to the market in Luoxi Town to see if there was anything she wanted. Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

When Xiao Qi asked if anyone wanted to go to Luoxi Town, her roommates were very surprised. They did not expect the study maniac to want to go shopping.

Now the dormitory had recognized Xiao Qi as the study maniac. She seized every minute to study whenever there was time. She could even lower her head to look at Japanese vocabulary while drying her dripping wet bangs.

Someone similar to Xiao Qi was Gu Yunshu, who was obsessed with novels. She always held her phone while eating to read novels, taking a bite after glancing at the phone once, as if she was eating meals with novels.

If no one disturbed her, she could read till the end of time.

In contrast, Mi'er in the dormitory preferred going out. Keeping her in the dormitory to read books all day would drive her crazy.

Wei Cheng was more moderate. She did not show any particular preferences. She studied quite hard but always felt kind of directionless.

However, since even Xiao Qi had asked if anyone wanted to go to Luoxi Town, Mi'er was definitely the first to agree.

"I've wanted to go see it for a long time."

Wei Cheng nodded, "That's good, yes."

Although Gu Yunshu was obsessed with novels, with three votes against one in the dorm room, she had no choice but to be brought along.

She also knew that only reading novels all the time was not good. But life was just so boring, still novels were more interesting.

The activity level in the dorm room was high. After eating, they set off directly. Luoxi Town was right outside the university campus, just across the bridge, so they walked over there. But since they were going to the market, they headed to the town center.

Surprisingly, there were two hotels in the center of Luoxi Town. One was the town reception hotel, and the other was some commercial hotel. The building looked quite tall and was probably the best hotel in town.

Xiao Qi wondered if anyone would stay at the hotels here.

There was an alley entrance at the central square which led to the Luoxi Town central market.

A few little girls roaming the market was quite interesting. They were curious about everything.

As the alliance relied on the sea, there were many seafood products in the market. Kelp dangled moistly like curtains.

Asking the boss, surprisingly they did have bamboo strips, but those were for the boss's personal handicrafts and were not for sale.

Still, Xiao Qi wanted to buy them. At a loss, the boss did not know how to price them.

In the end, Xiao Qi bought a bundle for 10 yuan, and the boss threw in some jute ropes and such.

Xiao Qi thanked him and added his WeChat. She would come to him if she needed more in the future.

After buying things, the four dorm mates went to eat at a famous local steakhouse rumored to be a hundred-year-old shop. It did not serve Western steaks but specially stewed Chinese beef steak unique to Meng City.

Large chunks of bone-in beef simmered in master stock until soft and tender. Diners used large scissors to cut off pieces to eat. The bone was simmered into beef bone broth with radish. There was also shredded ginger beef soup and mustard green rice.

It was basically a meal with rice, a piece of steak, radish soup and shredded beef soup as a set.

It was not cheap either, 68 yuan per set, or 53 yuan if you did not want the shredded beef soup.

Since Xiao Qi was treating them, she ordered the 68 yuan set for everyone, as she had won a prize yesterday.

It was quite delicious indeed. The unbroken grains of rice were glossy and slightly sticky. The vegetables made the rice a little salty. The steak was extremely tender, especially the parts with tendons which were even more delicious, both bouncy and chewy. Even Yunshu who did not have a big appetite finished her entire bowl of rice.

You could have unlimited rice refills. Xiao Qi refilled her rice once more.

She had wanted to refill twice originally, but Yunshu could not finish her shredded beef soup, while Mi'er barely touched her radish soup. So they were given to Xiao Qi instead. This was still a rare delightful occasion for the two though, since Mi'er seldom finished even half a bowl of rice, always complaining about dieting and not taking staple foods.

Wei Cheng ate a normal portion and finished it without asking for refills.

After the four were done with their meal, they slowly walked back to school.

On the way, Wei Cheng smacked her lips, still reminiscing the taste, "The steak was so delicious. But too expensive. I'll eat it everyday when I'm rich in the future!"

The rest laughed. Wei Cheng was quite innocent in this aspect.

Today's steak was indeed exceptional. That shop's flavor was very authentic, probably having some secret family recipe. It was not greasy at all, yet still so memorable after eating that you just craved for more.

"Next time any of us from our dorm gets some kind of prize money or achievement, let's go eat there together again," Mi'er remarked.

Even Yunshu spoke enthusiastically, "Our flower arranging club seems to have some competition coming up. Maybe I'll participate."

At this, it was Wei Cheng's turn to feel helpless. She felt she had no talents or advantages whatsoever, at a total loss as to what she could possibly do...

Xiao Qi also chuckled, "I will work hard to give Wei Cheng more opportunities to eat steak!"
