CHAPTER 221: CHAPTER 221 ORIGINAL SIN 30

Liu Ying, full of enthusiasm, circled around Yun Shuangshuang, intriguingly admiring her clothes and headdress. With envy and curiosity written all over her face, she exclaimed in awe, "Beauty, your outfit is just so beautiful! Apart from dining, do you also rent out traditional attire and offer hairstyling and makeup services?"

Yun Shuangshuang’s mind moved, and she replied with a smile, "If guests wish to dress like me, that’s certainly possible. Hairstyling and makeup, along with the outfit, is five hundred yuan per session. Guests can wear this outfit for the whole day. If they wish to venture out in this attire, just a one thousand yuan deposit is required. As long as the clothes and accessories are returned before nightfall without damages, the deposit can be refunded."

Liu Ying and Lu Jian are both good earners and, without children, are willing to spend generously when having fun. Upon hearing Yun Shuangshuang’s price, Liu Ying didn’t bat an eye and excitedly declared, "I’ll take an outfit like this!"

Even Lu Jian was quite interested and said, "Is there one for men? I want a set too, preferably a couple set."

To be honest, Yun Shuangshuang had indeed prepared men’s traditional attire. Initially, she planned to play a cross-dressing role with Feng Jinyan. Lu Jian might not fit into Yun Shuangshuang’s set because she is just over 165 centimeters tall, whereas Lu Jian is about 175 centimeters tall.

However, Yun Shuangshuang’s mother, Feng Jinyan, is quite tall, easily reaching 170 centimeters, and since traditional attire tends to be loose, Lu Jian should fit. So Yun Shuangshuang readily nodded and said, "There is men’s attire as well, but only one set available. There’s no choice, though there are several sets of the women’s attire that this beautiful sister can choose from."

Yun Shuangshuang and Feng Jinyan both reside in Red Dust, and their rooms were specially constructed, being quite spacious with a dedicated room for storing clothes. Yun Shuangshuang took Liu Ying and Lu Jian there.

Liu Ying, being about the same height as Yun Shuangshuang, could conveniently choose from her traditional outfits. Lu Jian indeed fit into Feng Jinyan’s men’s set and looked quite dashing in it. Yun Shuangshuang and Feng Jinyan spent about two hours dressing them up.

With a Beauty Fan in hand, Liu Ying strolled delicately, her wide sleeves slightly raised. Lu Jian, holding a folded fan, took strides as if portraying a romantic scholar. The two of them took various photos within Red Dust, and being in this ancient-style building enhanced the mood, as if they had truly traveled through time to enact a romance between a talented scholar and a beautiful lady.

After photography, both felt hungry, though Liu Ying and Lu Jian didn’t expect much from the food. Instead, they directly chose a BBQ with a nice vibe, opting to dine at the observation deck atop Red Dust.

The rooftop space wasn’t large, with flower pots surrounding the area, all planted with various wildflowers you might see in the mountains. The dining table looked like an exquisitely crafted giant root carving, but upon closer touch, it felt cold and wasn’t an authentic root carving but a stone-like texture made with incredible realism.

On either side of the table were two swing-like chairs, with iron chains entwined with vines blooming with violet flowers. Looking closely revealed they were artificial, just as realistic as the root carving table.

Seeing this, Liu Ying got excited again, pulling Lu Jian to pose for various photos. Just on the swing chairs alone, a whole roll of film was used up!

After the photos, Liu Ying and Lu Jian finally felt the hunger in their stomachs and decided to eat. They chose grilled lamb, grilled fish, and grilled shrimp. Cloud and Feng Jinyan also frequently had these varieties of meat, so they were staples in the fridge.

The fish and shrimp were kept in dedicated fish and shrimp ponds. Yun Shuangshuang had hired a person skilled in caring for fish and shrimp to look after them. Since Liu Ying and Lu Jian had previously seen the ponds, now they could simply catch the fish and shrimp.

Two packets of BBQ sauce, along with a large plate of lamb, freshly slaughtered fish, and cleaned shrimp, presented impressively and appeared very clean.

Just based on this, Liu Ying and Lu Jian were ready to give a good review, although they still held modest expectations for the flavor, thinking it would likely be similar to what they have at BBQ restaurants.

Instead of using charcoal, Yun Shuangshuang used an alcohol stove for grilling, with a small bucket of alcohol cubes. She lit the cubes under the stove and grilled the meats on a stainless steel plate above. Though called BBQ, it was more similar to teppanyaki, which not only reduced pollution but also prevented waste of sauce.

Liu Ying and Lu Jian first tried the grilled lamb, which had a perfect blend of lean and fat. Once the BBQ sauce was brushed on, a rich aroma instantly erupted, causing both their eyes to light up!

The two of them already had a fondness for good food. Whenever traveling, they would try both the good and bad food until satisfied, and now at Yun Shuangshuang’s place, they were determined to try the food, whether good or bad, since it was sold here!

Who would have thought that what started as a routine tasting turned into such a pleasant surprise! With their noses seasoned to good food, the BBQ sauce had to be the key transforming the mundane into a delicious feast.

The lamb was sliced thin, and after brushing with BBQ sauce, it quickly cooked through. The two of them eagerly put the grilled lamb into their mouths, where the rich aroma exploded layer upon layer over their taste buds, instantly filling their mouths! Absolutely delicious!

With just one taste, they were both conquered by its flavor. Unable to resist, they grilled slice after slice, quickly devouring all the grilled lamb! Next, with great anticipation, they placed fish and shrimp on the grill and brushed them with BBQ sauce.

Indeed, the taste was equally excellent! The magic lay in the sauce, which, despite its intense flavor, didn’t overpower the original taste of the ingredients!

The lamb had one flavor, the fish another, effectively removing any fishiness while preserving the fish’s distinct freshness. Meanwhile, the shrimp was enhanced to a richer flavor yet retained its major advantages—its fresh, sweet aftertaste!

The meal left them feeling a bit tight in their originally well-fitted clothes, and Liu Ying and Lu Jian flopped onto the swing chairs, resting for quite some time before mustering the strength to head downstairs.

Originally, they planned just to have fun for a day, but after this BBQ meal, they changed their minds, deciding to stay until tomorrow afternoon. After all, with Red Dust’s unique decor, spending a night there seemed like the perfect experience.

The next day, Liu Ying and Lu Jian also tried hot pot, once again eating their fill until they were sprawled on the rocking chairs, digesting!

By the time they left, they felt reluctant to say goodbye to Red Dust, with its unique hotel decor and dreamy scenery—and, of course, the delicious food.

Over these two days, Liu Ying and Lu Jian spent nearly two thousand yuan, qualifying them as rare and generous customers. As they were leaving, Yun Shuangshuang gifted them five packets of BBQ sauce and five sets of hot pot base and dipping sauces, finally sending the pair off satisfied.

Liu Ying and Lu Jian spent two hours driving home, now in the dark. With their palates spoiled, they came to a consensus—with BBQ sauce at hand, they might as well grill again, only for things to take an unexpected turn!
