"Family, who really understands the value of these fresh oysters?"

"Freshly killed and grilled, the key is freshness. The location is right at the South Heavenly Gate at Taishan Peak. You're welcome to come and eat!"

After finishing breakfast, Li Wei edited the video he shot this morning and posted it to the group chat and Weibo.

The video opens with Wang Fan hammering oysters, followed by a close-up of garlic chili sauce, then it directly cuts to oysters sizzling and bubbling on the grill.

The white, tender oyster meat is topped with a layer of garlic chili sauce, looking almost criminally enticing, and finally, there's a smug smile from Li Wei.

As soon as the video was posted, Li Wei received many queries from group members' relatives.

"Oh my God! Poisoning us early in the morning? My rice noodle rolls don't taste good anymore!"

"Damn you! My meat buns lost their flavor too!"

"You bastard! My pork knuckles don't taste right anymore either!"

"Damn it! Li Wei, you're inhumane! How did you manage to get a job at Boss Wang's shop? I want to go there too, damn it!"

"Count me in +1. This asshole said yesterday that he almost burst from eating skewers, then he did 20 push-ups and had another meal!"

"@BossWang Boss Wang, I'm already on the climb. Aside from the 50 skewers I previously ordered, I definitely need 10 of these oysters!"

"@BossWang, for the man's gas station and woman's beauty salon, this is a must-order. I need 20! I'm with my wife, and we have a big appetite."

"To be honest, even through the screen, I can smell how delicious this is. Watching this while eating steamed buns, the buns taste even better."

"@BossWang Damn, I was supposed to go see the sunrise this morning, but I just woke up. Boss Wang, please grill me 10 meat skewers, 5 oysters, and a portion of garlic baby cabbage. I'll be there in 20 minutes."

On Weibo, things were even more lively, especially with Southern friends who couldn't stand Li Wei's cheeky grin, not even a single hair.

"Oh my God! That smile is so lewd! Your uncle can't stand it at all. I'm booking a ticket right now. I'm going to tire you out, you little rascal! Let's go, guys!"

"Honestly, I wasn't that into BBQ because there's a BBQ stall right below my apartment. But after seeing Boss Wang's skewers and oysters, I feel like we're not eating the same thing. This is unbearable. As a foodie, I must go try it!"

"Southern friends, let's take action and turn those Northern smiles into a thing of the past!"

"Charge! I've already booked my ticket! The smile won't disappear, but it will transfer from his face to mine!"

"Let's go, friends! This year's travel plan is adjusted to experience the northern landscape. It used to be the Northerners coming to us, but this time we'll do a reverse output."

With just that one message from Li Wei, Lu Dong's tourism instantly shot to the trending searches.

This made tourism bureaus from all over envious, and they all began thinking about how to promote themselves.

Seeing that lamb skewers were hot, the Great Border Province tourism couldn't sit still and directly released their promotional video, ending with the text: "Explore the colorful Great Border, feel the exotic charm, step into the paradise grassland. Beautiful Great Border is waiting for you to taste its culinary culture and enjoy a feast for the senses. Let's just say this—when it comes to the world's lamb skewers, you look at Huaxia; and in Huaxia, you look at Great Border! Our Great Border Province's lamb is the best!"

The leader of the Great Border tourism bureau was very satisfied with the promotional video, especially since BBQ is currently the hottest topic. That last line was genius—when it comes to the world's lamb skewers, you look at Huaxia; and in Huaxia, you look at the Great Border! It's so imposing, and no one dares to argue!

The food's been served; just waiting for the banquet to start!

Kong Weide frowned while looking at the Great Border Province's promotion.

He felt that they were somewhat unjust.

Liu Xi also saw this video but continued drinking tea and reading materials as if nothing happened. Seeing Kong Weide worried, he chuckled and said, "Something on your mind?"

Kong Weide nodded, "We were just making some progress, and they…"

Liu Xi chuckled, "Vid, in doing things and dealing with people, you must be generous and open up your perspective. Don't just focus on the short-term. I support them on this matter; do you know why?"

Kong Weide honestly shook his head.

Liu Xi said, "Doing tourism is like making a cake; whoever makes it delicious gets the business. Although there's competition, there's a prerequisite—the customer base must be saturated. Right now, domestic travel during holidays is just heating up. There's still a lot of market to explore. What we need to do is work together to expand the market. Do you get my point?"

Kong Weide carefully chewed over Liu Xi's words, finding the insight profound, realizing indeed this was something he'd overlooked.

After adjusting his mindset and watching the promotion again, he suddenly found it amusing, "Boss, take a look at this."

Liu Xi curiously looked at the replies under the promotional video and was also left speechless.

"Friends from the North and South, if you can avoid coming, please do. Here's a comparison of our prices with Harbin's."

He posted a picture below.

"My girlfriend and I went to Harbin for a trip, spent 100 bucks on a meal, and almost burst! Meanwhile, over here... hahaha!"

"If you want to fully enjoy this place, at the very least, prepare 250,000 yuan."

"As a native Great Borderer, you better believe what they say."

Scrolling through her phone, Zhuo Qianqian also saw her local tourism bureau's video and couldn't resist commenting below it.

"As a local Great Border girl, I have to speak up for my hometown. There's no such thing as scamming tourists here. The prices have been like this for years; they haven't gone up. Even locals eat at these prices!"

After that comment, Zhuo Qianqian put away her phone.

The delicious aroma of BBQ had completely captured her attention.

Especially the garlic chili grilled oysters, the scent constantly tickling her nose, leaving her no energy for anything else.

Though Great Border also has grilled oysters, the ingredients differ significantly from these, which only heightened her anticipation.

Picking up an oyster, with a pair of chopsticks, she clamped and pulled out the oyster meat.

The glistening white oyster meat was coated with minced garlic and chili, decorated with a few tiny green onion rings, making the color even more enticing.

"Mmm..."

With one mouthful, she swallowed the oyster meat whole. Even before chewing, the rich aroma had her eyes squinting into crescent moons.

The fragrance of garlic, the heat of chili, the freshness of green onion completely unleashed the umami of the oyster meat.

Each ingredient was just right.

Every bite offered a crispy, tender delicacy that reset her understanding of oysters. Not even talking about flavor, this texture was unlike anything she'd experienced in her decade of life.

This is so delicious; her tongue almost twisted itself in knots!
