Chapter 961
"Hmm..." Lauren was hesitating.
She was not good at socializing, and she did not want to accept favors without contributing. Lauren was a bit reluctant due to her defensive nature.
"Are you in a rush? Then, let's just eat something nearby! I just thought that you seem to be very tired these days, so I want to take you out to relax! I was too inconsiderate. Today is not a weekend, and I should have told you in advance! Ah, this might be too sudden..." Carney said.
After hearing Carney's words, Lauren felt that she was being too judgmental instead. After all, she did not have many friends, not to mention close friends. She smiled faintly and compromised.
"No! I don't have any plans. I just feel that it's a little far away, and I don't want to cause you any trouble!"
"It's no trouble at all! You helped Antonio so much and made him turn over a new leaf. I don't even know how to thank you! Let's go, well go earlier and we can be back sooner. It won't take much time!" Carney said.
With great enthusiasm, Carney had already taken the bag from her hand, and said,
"I know a shortcut, it would be very fast! Look, when my friend recommended the place to me the last time, I especially asked about it, and I even drew the route map..."
Like a child, Carney scrolled through his cell phone and showed her everything that he had prepared. His sincere attitude had naturally swept away the suspicion and uneasiness in Lauren's heart.
They looked at each other for a while. For some unknown reason, Lauren was very sure that he did it on purpose, to ease her worries.
Although she did not tell him that she knew how to defend herself, that ability didn't change the fact that she was still an insecure woman. Therefore, at that moment, Lauren started to have a bit of good impression on him.
Along the way, Carney talked to her about what he knew of the route and where they were reaching. Lauren was so at ease that she could even take a nap.
Very soon, the car stopped at an open space. Looking around, Lauren saw that there were quite a few cars parked in the empty space. Amongst the tall trees and flowers, there was a beautiful scene of blooming flowers. At the end of the meandering path was a huge sign with a photo of an antiquated little house, with the word 'Farmhouse' written on it.
"This is the biggest attraction of the fishing village. It's surrounded by mountains and rivers and the air is fresh. There's a road leading to the farmhouse but it's surrounded by trees and cars can't get in. So, we have to walk through this road!" Carney said.
As Carney introduced the place, he picked up her bag again, and said,
"Look at the bus over there. There should be a tourist group coming here! Sometimes, when the long-distance drivers get tired on the road, they will go inside to eat and take a rest. The villagers will also come to sell some of their local products, but they are mostly crops. This empty space is the farmer's market. Now, everyone is afraid of pollution, so they're more inclined to buy allnatural products like these. At noon, there are not many of them. If it's on the weekend, you would have to come early to wait in line!"
While talking, the two of them walked into the woods. Carney said,
"Their famous chicken is called the 'spring chicken'. They only prepare 88 chickens per day, and they won't replenish it once it's sold out. From nine o'clock in the morning to five o'clock in the evening, it will be sold according to the numbers that people queue up for every hour, and there's only one pot per hour. Basically, it will start to sell as each hour begins! I didn't pay much attention to this place before, but recently it's become quite popular! Aside from the locals who are rich and have spare time, many wealthy people from other places also come here for it. There was once a rich businessman who hired a group of people to queue from the morning to night, just to eat this spring chicken. It was said that the chicken once costed tens of thousands dollars when its price peaked. Since then, it has become famous..."
"That's so exaggerated. How gluttonous was he? Also, isn't the owner stupid? It's so popular. Why wouldn't he make more?"
Opportunity always passed in a flash! What if the fame faded away and the spring chicken became old news?
"About this, you're wrong! The rarer
the item, the more precious it is! I'm not sure whether it's delicious or not, but if one could easily get to eat it don't think the farmhouse in this fishing village could be so famous.
After all, there are many othe
farmhouses around Casterwich City!" Carney said.
"You're right..." Lauren agreed.
"However, the lasting fame it has means that it must be good. I checked and found that each chicken is actually barbecued for twelve hours. So actually, he couldn't make more even if he wants to, because he has limited space, and it's a cooking technique passed down from his ancestors..." Carney said.
After taking the queue number card and looking at it, Carney couldn't help but frowned and say, "65? It looks like well need to wait till around three o'clock!"
He tilted his head and looked at the crowd behind him. He was unsure whether he was lucky or not. He had been quite spontaneous that time, and he had also mustered a lot of courage to take that step!
"It's okay. How can we waste our efforts after coming all the way here? It's not too late! Look, the flowers over there are so beautiful and there is also a puppy that seems like it'@guarding the chickens! It's so cute! Two or three hours might not even be enough for us to fully explore the place! Let's go and have a look..." Lauren said.
"Okay! If you're not hungry, I can walk around with you first. Well order some dishes later and we can eat them together with the chicken!" Carney said.
When Willy and Lexx arrived at the location, they saw the simple restaurant in front of them and the congested crowd and queue. There was also colorful flying flags, and he suddenly felt very annoyed.
What a terrible place! It was so noisy!
Looking around, there were trees standing tall everywhere. Looking at them, Willy was starting to be overwhelmed by his trypophobia.
When Lexx saw him frowning, he also felt that the place was only suitable for holidays. It was a little unrefined for business discussions. He was afraid that Willy would start nitpicking if his mood soured, so he said,
"I'll go to see if Mr. Clark has arrived. This should be the place!"
While he spoke, he also took out his cell phone and walked inside, trying to get familiar with the place.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Then, he quickly returned and said,
"Willy, Mr. Clark's car encountered a

little problem on the way. He got a flat tyre, so he will arrive later. He's deeply sorry, and he's asked us to go to the chalet behind the restaurant. It's secluded and scenic, surrounded by mountains and rivers. You can also play basketball or fish there. It's definitely very leisurely, and he has already booked it! There is a basic hotel in front of it as well, and there are different families that raise chickens and fishes nearby. I've heard that they can be freshly slaughtered if you want to sample them! Oh yes, I heard that there are wild rabbits here, but you'd have to have be lucky to capture them. That's because they say that only primitive traps can catch them... anyway, it's a great place to relax!"
Just as they were about to enter the chalet, there were noises coming from one side, followed by hasty footsteps. They turned around at the same
time and said,
"What's the matter? Why is it so noisy?"
