Chapter 888 Mushroom Hotpot
In the hotel lobby:
Leon and Albert were at the front desk handling the hotel check-in process, while Tiffany and Freya were nearby taking care of the kids.
“Ladies, are you interested in checking out the tavern?”
Suddenly hearing this voice, Tiffany and Freya exchanged glances before turning their attention to a group of young people standing nearby.
The speaker was a young woman with a high ponytail.
When she smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons.
Perhaps realizing her sudden question might seem abrupt, the young woman quickly introduced herself.
“I noticed you’re new to Green City, so I thought I’d invite you to visit a nearby tavern.”
Could she be trying to attract customers?
Tiffany discreetly lowered her gaze, quietly observing the familiar young woman in front of her.
“We are indeed new here, but we haven’t planned to visit a tavern yet…”
Sensing the flash of caution in Tiffany’s eyes, the young woman decided to be straightforward.
“Don’t worry, we’re not bad people.”
She patted her chest reassuringly and continued, “We’re all folk musicians.”
“We just want to meet travelers from around the world and see if we can find some new inspiration.”
Hearing this, Tiffany finally understood her intention.
The young woman smiled slightly and stood up to introduce the people around her.
“I’m Lyanna Patel, but you can call me Lyanna if you like.”
“That’s Marc Murray, and the one with the guitar is Dave Palmer.”
They didn’t seem to have any ill intentions.
Tiffany looked up at Freya.
It was obvious that Freya was intrigued.
After all, they had heard that Green City’s taverns were full of charm and character, and they had already planned to visit one if they had the chance.
After a moment’s thought, Tiffany turned to Leon and Albert, who had finished checking in and were walking over.
“Leon, they’re musicians who want to invite us to a nearby tavern. What do you think?”
Tiffany naturally chose to respect Leon’s decision, as he had planned the entire trip.
Hearing this, Leon nodded slowly, as if remembering something, and focused his gaze on Tiffany.
“What do you think, Tiffany?”
“Do you want to go?”
To be honest, Tiffany was quite interested in checking it out.
She didn’t hesitate and nodded lightly.
“I’d like to see it and experience the local charm.”
Freya agreed with her.
“I support Tiffany’s idea.”
With that, Leon and Albert had no objections. After exchanging contact information with the musicians, the young group left first.
The kids had been clever enough to catch on when Tiffany and Freya mentioned the invitation.
“Mom, are you, Godmother, and Dad planning to sneak out and have fun without us?”
Barry was the first to speak up.
He was always very perceptive.
Hearing this, Tiffany couldn’t help but laugh. She reached out to tousle Barry’s hair and said.
“How could we leave you behind?”
“It’s just that taverns aren’t suitable for kids.”
That made sense.
Barry thought for a moment and then promised earnestly.
“Mom, don’t worry. We’ll take good care of ourselves.”
Despite his words, Tiffany still felt a bit uneasy.
After all, they wouldn’t be going until the evening.
Once they placed their luggage in the presidential suite, Tiffany checked the time and saw that it was already time for a meal.
She looked at Leon and asked, “What should we eat later?”
They were tired of the usual food. Tiffany had heard that Green City’s mushroom hot pot was famous for its fresh and delicious taste, even though it was a clear broth.
Leon had anticipated this.
He looked at Tiffany with a doting smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
“We’ll go to the most famous mushroom hot pot restaurant nearby.”
“I heard it’s very fresh, and I’m sure you’ll love it.”
The kids, who had been quietly observing, exchanged glances and laughed.
Seeing Tiffany and Leon’s growing affection made them very happy.
After booking a table at the most famous mushroom hot pot restaurant nearby, they headed straight there.
They watched as the waiter brought the dishes and lit the fire, then skillfully took away the utensils.
Flora blinked, her fair little face full of confusion.
“Mom, why did they take the utensils away?”
Tiffany had read many online reviews beforehand.
The restaurant had the waiters remove the utensils because impatient customers often tried to eat the mushrooms before they were fully cooked.
As a result, this had become an unwritten rule.
Before Tiffany could explain, Sam and Barry eagerly answered Flora’s question.
“It’s because the mushroom hot pot isn’t cooked yet.”
“If we eat undercooked mushrooms, we might end up in the hospital.”
Watching the kids chatter, Tiffany couldn’t help but smile, her eyes full of warmth and affection.
“Yes, Sam and Barry are right.”
Once the mushroom hot pot was ready, the waiter returned to distribute the utensils to everyone.
“Welcome to Green City. Enjoy your meal, and let me know if you need anything.”
The waiter warmly welcomed them.
They responded in kind: “Thank you!”
After taking a bite, Tiffany couldn’t help but marvel.
The mushroom hot pot lived up to its reputation.
The flavor was mild, but the mushrooms and other ingredients were incredibly fresh and delicious, making it very refreshing to eat.
“Mom, this is so good!”
“You should try it too.”
Little Flora eagerly offered Tiffany some food, her face beaming with an uncontrollable smile.
Remembering something, Tiffany raised an eyebrow at Flora.
Flora quickly caught on and offered some food to Freya as well.
“Godmother, you should eat too!”
Freya felt immensely satisfied.
She smiled contentedly and nodded at Flora.
“Thank you, Flora.”
By the end of the meal, everyone was in high spirits.
The mushroom hot pot was truly exceptional.
Not only was the food delicious, but the locals they encountered were also incredibly warm and hospitable.
