Instantly, the coffee liquid seeped down Lan Yin's top and soaked into her pencil skirt, leaving clumps of stains that looked like a child's random scribbles.

"Are you blind?" Lan Yin suddenly raised her voice and yelled. "Don't you watch where you're going?"

"Miss, you bumped into me yourself," the waiter said. "You spilled the coffee, so you have to pay for both cups."

"I'll pay you back my head!" Lan Yin grabbed her bag and smashed it against the other person's head.

It was Su Xiaonuan who saved the waitress; otherwise, if Lan Yin's hard bag had hit her on the head, she would definitely have been injured.

Lan Yin disregarded her image and took the opportunity to run away.

"Uh, you haven't paid for your coffee yet?" the waiter called out, raising his hand.

"It's okay, I'll pay," Su Xiaonuan said to the waiter. "Her coffee and the two spilled coffees are on me. Please bring us two new coffees and give me the menu."

"Okay, just a moment!" The waiter then turned and left.

Su Xiaonuan returned to the table and sat down.

"Sister-in-law, why did you pay for that wicked woman?" Mo Xi said, dissatisfied. "Just now, you shouldn't have stopped her. Let her pay before she left. I fully approve of saving the waitress, but I shouldn't have paid for her."

"What's the cost of a few cups of coffee?" Su Xiaonuan smiled. "Do you know where she's in a hurry to get to?"

Where are we going?

"Of course she's going to the police station; she wants to clear her name."

"Oh, I see?" Xiao Moxi said belatedly. "Now, this is going to be interesting. Do you think the police will arrest Xiang Qiuyun for questioning after Lan Yin goes to tell them?"

"That's exactly the effect I wanted, to make them fight like dogs."

"Haha, this is much more fun than calling the police directly, sister-in-law, you're amazing!" Moxi clapped her hands.

"Mind your image!" Su Xiaonuan coughed lightly.

Xiao Moxi covered her mouth and looked around before letting go and whispering, "Sister-in-law, your coffee is here."

"Great, you finally know what coffee is," Su Xiaonuan praised her. "I thought you'd ask again, 'What is coffee?'"

"Tch, I'm not stupid. I knew it when Lan Yin spilled the coffee." She pouted.

After the waiter brought the coffee, he also handed Su Xiaonuan a menu.

Su Xiaonuan flipped through the menu and thought to herself, "This is supposed to be the best hotel in the provincial capital, but the menu is so outdated. There aren't even any pictures of the dishes, just the names printed on them. It's no different from any other small restaurant."

She was thinking that her next step was to upgrade the menu to a version with pictures and text, so that it would completely outshine this big hotel.

After glancing at the menu, I handed it back to the waiter and casually named a few dishes. "Two medium-rare black pepper steaks, two servings of barley noodles, and a cream of mushroom soup, and hurry up!"

The waiter responded and left.

Xiao Moxi couldn't wait to pick up his coffee and start drinking.

Su Xiaonuan wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

The next second, Xiao Moran choked and spat out the coffee he had just drunk.

Everyone around turned to look.

Mersey's face flushed red, and he said fiercely, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone choke before?"

Those people immediately looked away.

Moxi stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Sister-in-law, what kind of awful stuff did you order? It's awful."

"You're really hard to talk to." Su Xiaonuan shook her head, then gently stirred the coffee in her cup a few more times with a small spoon. "Haven't you ever seen a pig run even if you haven't eaten pork? Lan Yin has been demonstrating for you for so long, why haven't you learned anything?"

“Sister-in-law, stop being so dramatic,” Xiao Moxi said, making a vomiting gesture. “Why do you imitate her instead of learning the good stuff? Besides, this awful stuff really tastes terrible. You city people are really something, spending money to buy this awful stuff. It’s not even as good as my mom’s pickled vegetable brine. My mouth still tastes bitter.”

While shaking her head, Su Xiaonuan dropped the sugar cubes from the small dish into the coffee cup, stirred it gently with a small spoon again, and handed it to Xiao Moxi. "Try it again!"

"No! No!" she cried, waving her hands frantically. "I'd rather die than drink this stuff."

"Try it." Su Xiaonuan nodded to her.

Mersey looked around and saw everyone drinking coffee. She mustered her courage, picked up her cup, took a small sip, and smacked her lips a few times. "Huh, why does it taste different now?"

“Of course it’s different,” Su Xiaonuan said with a smile. “Coffee is meant to be savored. You’re just guzzling it down. It’s such a waste of something so good.”

Moxi took a few more sips and thought it was pretty good. "Hmm, it doesn't seem so bad anymore. The more I drink, the more I want to drink."

"It's a good thing I brought you here today to broaden your horizons, otherwise you would have made a fool of yourself if you had gone to the Jiang family," Su Xiaonuan said. "Mother Jiang loves coffee the most."

After the steak arrived, she patiently taught Mersey how to use a knife and fork.

Xiao Moxi clumsily used her knife and fork, muttering to herself. "Eating a piece of meat is so complicated. Isn't it better to just eat a big chunk? I really can't stand you city people. You have so many rules about eating. What's the difference between cutting it into small pieces and biting it into small pieces?"

Su Xiaonuan had already cut the steak and was using a fork to put it into her mouth.

Although the taste wasn't as delicious as the steak she had in her previous life, she still enjoyed it immensely.

Xiao Moxi struggled with the steak with her knife and fork for dozens of rounds before finally managing to cut it into small pieces. However, before she could even eat it, she immediately exclaimed, "Oh my god, this is inedible! It's not cooked through, and there's still blood in it!"

In an instant, she threw her knife and fork onto the plate and sat there dejectedly, not moving.

"Silly girl, this way it tastes more delicate." Su Xiaonuan shook her head again.

"Then you can have it all." She pushed her plate in front of Su Xiaonuan. "So, rich people eat terrible food, and it's always undercooked."

When the waiter brought the barley noodles and cream of mushroom soup, she wolfed down the barley noodles on the plate, smacking her lips. "This portion of noodles is too small. It's more cost-effective to have a large bowl of soup noodles."

After saying that, he directly took Su Xiaonuan's bowl of barley noodles and ate it.

She didn't dare try the cream of mushroom soup either. Su Xiaonuan scooped out a small bowl and handed it to her before she tried it. She still couldn't get used to the taste and thought it had a fishy smell. "Ugh, this tastes weird. I'm not drinking it!"

"You really don't know what's good for you!" Su Xiaonuan drank two bowls of cream of mushroom soup.

"This isn't as good as my sister-in-law's egg and radish soup. That soup is milky white and tastes so delicious," Moxi said. "If I had known the food here was this bad, I shouldn't have let you order it. It's such a waste of money."

This was the first time Su Xiaonuan had eaten Western food after transmigrating to this era. Although it wasn't very authentic and wasn't even as good as what she made, she still finished the two steaks and drank two bowls of cream of mushroom soup, feeling quite full.

Xiao Moxi, still hungry and not used to the food here, started clamoring to eat noodles as soon as she left the hotel.
