Ling Zhenfei said, "I should also thank you, Foodie Alliance. Thank you for your support."

The bamboo leaves of the Foodie Alliance have a special introduction for Xi Shan Restaurant, with reviews for every dish. All foodies can rate each dish below.

Ling Zhenfei has already told Xue Bing and others that each chef has to review these comments weekly and adjust the flavors accordingly.

Every time a new dish is launched, the reputation on this website becomes a barometer.

The reputation of Ling Zhenfei's restaurant is excellent on there, making all foodies regard Xi Shan Restaurant as a Holy Land.

"Mr. Ling, you may have an impression of us; our online name is Little Monster."

Upon hearing the names, Ling Zhenfei immediately laughed and said, "You must be the main editors of the Xi Shan Restaurant section."

Little Monster laughed and said, "That's right, indeed we are. We really like your Xi Shan Restaurant.

We previously visited Binyang Restaurant and a restaurant in Modu, and this time we've come to the one in Capital City."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I am truly very grateful to you. Thank you so much."

Little Monster said, "Since we've met Mr. Ling, we'd like to conduct an interview with you. Would that be okay?"

Ling Zhenfei checked the time and said, "I have plenty of time now, so go ahead with any questions you have for the interview."

Little Monster said, "Alright, let's begin. Mr. Ling, what makes the vegetables in Xi Shan Restaurant so delicious?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "The main reason is, of course, that the vegetables from Xishan Manor are quite tasty, and you need to cook with care to make the dishes delicious."

Little Monster asked, "Mr. Ling, regarding your restaurant's next location, it seems like it's going to be in the Provincial City. How many restaurants are you planning to open?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "I won't open too many restaurants. If there's an opportunity and a market, then I'll open one."

"So, where's the next restaurant going to be?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "It should be in Moergawa, on Feixue Island, where I plan to open a seafood-focused restaurant."

Little Monster said, "We are really looking forward to your seafood restaurant, but there's a question—earlier, you said the restaurant's vegetables are delicious because they use vegetables from Xishan Manor.

But if you're opening a restaurant in Moergawa, can the seafood still be as delicious?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "As a chef, making food delicious is basic, so you can rest assured."

"How did you come up with the idea to open a restaurant in Moergawa?" Little Monster asked curiously.

Ling Zhenfei brought up Moergawa intentionally to promote it because what Moergawa needs most now is promotion.

Ling Zhenfei said, "There are many advantages to opening a restaurant in Moergawa. First of all, it's conveniently busy, and I can confidently say that Moergawa will definitely be the top overseas travel destination for our citizens in the future.

And Moergawa's seafood is very fresh and cheap, so no matter how you look at it, it's a great place to open a restaurant."

Little Monster said, "Actually, these questions were asked by some foodie fans. One fan mentioned that Heart-Talk Fruit is too expensive to afford and asked when it might become cheaper."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Heart-Talk Fruit is just a type of fruit, and there's no need to overhype it.

The current expense of Heart-Talk Fruit is due to its scarcity. I'll work on increasing its availability."

Little Monster said, "Previously, when I visited Xi Shan Resort Villa, I saw your house and noticed there were quite a few Heart-Talk Fruit Trees at the entrance, but they probably don't yield much fruit."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, expecting Heart-Talk Fruit to reach the status of apples is impossible. From its name, you can tell it's not an ordinary fruit.

I can only ensure it will be cheaper in the future. At least, later on, when you visit Xi Shan Restaurant, you'll be able to buy it if you want, unlike now when you can't buy it even if you have money."

Little Monster said, "That sounds great. I'm looking forward to it. Another online user really wants to know why your restaurant isn't Michelin-certified yet. Do you plan to get certified?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Actually, certification isn't that important. You should know our restaurant is open for everyone, and perhaps it doesn't fit Western tastes.

If Michelin inspectors can come and taste, I'd be delighted, but if not, then there's nothing I can do. Surely, I can't change to other flavors, right?"

Little Monster said, "Everyone knows you're not only the owner of Xi Shan Restaurant but also a doctor and chef. You have a lot of fans, and some even say you're already a top domestic star.

Your fans know you're very kind to them, but many foodie fans say you're too biased."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback and said, "In what way am I biased?"

Little Monster said, "You offer free medical treatment slots every month, providing free healthcare to them, but there are no such benefits for foodie fans. Isn't that biased?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed after hearing this and said, "Oh, that's the case, is it? I can't have people come to the restaurant and eat and drink for free, can I?"

Little Monster said, "That's not necessary, but hosting something like a fan food festival could be quite nice."

Upon hearing Little Monster's suggestion, Ling Zhenfei felt a bit hesitant yet found it a thoughtful reminder.

Ling Zhenfei said, "That indeed is a good idea. Does your website have some plans in mind?"

Ling Zhenfei reckoned there must be a reason for Little Monster to say this, otherwise, such a suggestion wouldn't come up.

Little Monster replied, somewhat shyly, "I didn't expect Mr. Ling to figure it out. We do have something we'd like to discuss with you."

Ling Zhenfei suspected there was an agenda and said, "If there's something, just say it. We're not really outsiders."

Little Monster said, "It's like this: our website wants to collaborate with you to organize a Xi Shan Restaurant Food Festival. Firstly, it's a fan benefit, secondly, it promotes our website, and most importantly, it promotes Xi Shan Restaurant."

Ling Zhenfei thought it over and said, "That's indeed a very good idea. Do you have any specific operational plans?"

Little Monster said, "Of course! There are many things to do. We've organized quite a few other food festivals before, so we do have some experience in this area."

Ling Zhenfei said, "This is possible; it's a great idea."

"Mr. Ling, you agreed!"

Little Monster looked very happy, indicating this was her objective for coming here.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Since it's a fan benefit, I really hope there are more fans attending. What do you think should be done?"

Little Monster said, "That's simple. First, select a portion from your most active fans, another portion from your restaurant's members, a portion from our website, and a portion from dedicated Xi Shan Restaurant fans in the Foodie Alliance. That way, there'll be enough people."
