Chapter 238 Themed Street

Li Xi suddenly remembered the tribesmen she had met on her way back to Mu City, and hailed a sightseeing carriage.

"Driver, take me to the themed street."

"Okay, sit down."

Qin Xiaolin was also riding in such a carriage for the first time, and couldn't help but feel a little curious. "This carriage is quite interesting. It can actually carry passengers like this, and it's very convenient to get on and off."

Unexpectedly, it was here that she felt that sense of pride as a designer.

This sightseeing carriage was designed by her incorporating elements of the sightseeing carriages that were common in later generations.

She had mentioned it to Chairman Wang once before and shared her thoughts with her. She never expected that Chairman Wang would actually have it done.

She was thinking about how to make an open-style carriage that could be stopped by simply waving and used to transport tourists.

In present-day Jingyuan, the people are open-minded, and women also enjoy the freedom to go out.

Looking at the brightly decorated carriage, Li Xi knew it must be the brainchild of the president.

"I have to thank Chairman Wang for letting me ride in this car," she said to Qin Xiaolin with a smile.

The distinctive street is on the east side; the carriage took only fifteen minutes to reach our destination.

This themed street was specially set up for other countries and tribes, occupying about fifty acres of the trade fair area.

To manage the area more effectively, patrols have been significantly increased in this region, with a noticeable increase in the number of soldiers compared to other areas.

"Brother Qin, look! There are foreigners selling barbecue here!"

Li Xi never expected to be able to eat Russian kebabs here.

In her past life, she dreamed of traveling around the world and tasting local delicacies, but unfortunately, she was unable to fulfill her wish.

I never expected that I would be able to fulfill this wish here today.

She couldn't wait to walk to the barbecue stall, and excitedly gestured to the barbecue master, saying, "Give me five pounds of lamb chops, two pounds of beef, and a pot of good wine."

The barbecue chef looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Young lady, can you eat all this by yourself?"

He mistakenly thought that Li Xi had come alone.

Li Xi realized that her performance was too stiff, and she was both amused and embarrassed, feeling like she had just made a clown.

She had initially thought these foreigners wouldn't understand Jingyuan's official language, but she hadn't expected them to speak it so fluently.

This made her feel a little embarrassed, but at the same time she found it very interesting.

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Li Xi smiled and said to the foreign barbecue chef, "Brother, your Mandarin is so good, you sound just like a local."

She gave a thumbs-up in appreciation.

Although the foreigner couldn't understand the specific meaning of the word "standard," he could sense Li Xi's praise and approval from her actions and expressions.

This made him feel quite smug, as he felt that his efforts had paid off.

He has been here for five years and has put a lot of effort into learning the official language of Jingyuan in order to do business here.

In retrospect, the effort was worthwhile.

"Young man, can you finish all this by yourself?" He looked at Li Xi's not-so-strong physique with some doubt.

The way he looked at Li Xi displeased Qin Xiaolin, who was usually silent, and he said coldly, "We're together, we can finish it!"

"Alright, please have a seat over there. It will be ready in a minute."

Li Xi couldn't help but find Qin Xiaolin's actions amusing. "Brother Feng, are you hungry? Come, let's sit here."

Li Xi pulled Qin Xiaolin to a table next to the stall, and the two sat facing each other.

The barbecue chef quickly began preparing the ingredients, and the lamb chops and beef on the charcoal fire emitted an enticing aroma.

Li Xi took a deep breath, a smile playing on her lips. She truly had to thank the original owner of this body. The ability to eat without gaining weight was a dream gift for someone with a craving for pigs.

She watched intently as the owner grilled the meat, as if she were watching a spectacular performance.

The owner skillfully picked up strings of fresh meat, placed them on the grill, and then lightly brushed them with oil, causing sparks to fly and a sizzling sound to be heard.

As time goes by, the meat skewers gradually turn golden and crispy, filling the air with aroma.

The owner kept turning the meat skewers to ensure each side was heated evenly. He also sprinkled on some secret seasoning from time to time, making the meat skewers even more flavorful and tempting.

She was so captivated by the scene before her that she couldn't help but swallow.

She couldn't help but swallow, making a soft gurgling sound in her throat.

Qin Xiaolin, standing to the side, noticed Li Xi's subtle movements. A faint smile appeared on his lips.

A moment later, the waiter came over carrying a full basin of meat.

He enthusiastically pointed to the wine on the table and said, "This is brewed by the owner himself, and he specially brought it here for you to try."

The waiter was a local, and his manners were very courteous. It seems this foreigner is quite adaptable.

"Brother Feng, what do you think of the barbecue here?" Li Xi asked, while picking up a perfectly grilled lamb chop and handing it to Qin Xiaolin.

Qin Xiaolin took the lamb chop, took a bite, nodded and said, "Not bad, it tastes very good."

Seeing his satisfied expression, Li Xi felt happy too.

She continued to enjoy the grilled meat while chatting with Qin Xiaolin.

The two talked about their past experiences and observations. Although their topics were different, they listened with great interest.

Time flew by unnoticed, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them had finished eating all the roast meat on the table.

Li Xi patted her belly with satisfaction.

Just then, a commotion broke the silence.

In the middle of the road not far away, a group of people gathered busily, seemingly watching a little-known spectacle.

Amid the clamor of the crowd, someone shouted, "That's right, girl, your husband already knows he was wrong, so give him a chance and go back with him."

"I don't know him, please help me!" the woman cried out in panic, trying to shake off the man's hand that was tightly gripping hers.

The man said with deep remorse, "My wife, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. Our child is crying at home for his mother."

"Let me go! I don't know you!" the woman struggled desperately, but her strength seemed unable to break free from the man's large hand.

Seeing that no one around her reacted, the woman cried anxiously, "I really don't know him."

“Oh dear, young lady, don’t be stubborn. Your husband is kneeling here, just give him face and go back with him to live a good life,” an old man sighed, trying to persuade her.

The woman's eyes were filled with despair. She looked at the indifferent crowd around her and felt a pang of sorrow.

She knew that these people were just there to watch the show and wouldn't actually help her.

Just then, a young figure squeezed out from the crowd.

The man, dressed in a blue robe and with delicate features, walked up to the woman and asked softly, "Miss, do you really not recognize him?"
