I love blue skies and green trees, but I love the vast, surging ocean even more. Fish from shallow waters, fish from the deep, lobsters, and giant crabs: how could a foodie’s world be complete without seafood? Speedboats, yachts, sport-fishing boats, and patrol boats, though luxury cruise ships are really the way to go.

The Gourmet’s Supplier 美食供应商
“In the distant East, there is a strange little restaurant that has turned down Michelin three-star ratings several times. It’s expensive: a bowl of egg fried rice with soup costs RMB 288. Oh, I forgot, it also comes with a plate of pickles. Even so, plenty of people line up for a table. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations. You have to queue in person, and countless people fly in on private jets just to get in line. Of course, there’s no place to park your plane or your car. The service is

Good books grew hard to find, so I walked away. Now I've returned to Qidian. I no longer care about rankings in the web-novel world. I'll enjoy both newcomers and big names with a drink, as long as their work is sincere. After more than a decade of reading, I've gathered dozens of top-quality works,
