陌染MM:“Traveling to Tibet, this stop came to Gegye County. We were not originally here, but were forced to come here because the road was broken. After checking into the hotel at night, we asked the driver to take us out to find food. When we came to the most prosperous place in the county, we saw a fish restaurant and hurried in because we hadn't eaten fish for too many days and wanted to eat fish. After entering, I heard the boss say that there was a chestnut chicken pot to eat, so I changed it immediately. After waiting for a long, long time, I finally had something to eat. The chicken pot was very oily, and the price was calculated by one pot, that is, one chicken, which was about a few pounds. The chicken had been stewed to pieces, and the whole pot of chicken tasted weird, very weird. I couldn't eat a few pieces. A pot of chicken costs more than 300 yuan, which is quite expensive.”
