Recently, everyone in the Kyoto social circle is buzzing about one thing: it is said that the long-lost daughter of the Su family, one of the four major wealthy families, has returned.
Some p...
"The engagement was called off? Why?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you when I have time."
Su's father, Su Qinghai, comforted his wife.
Ye Qinchuan, who was standing to the side, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "Uncle, this is a misunderstanding."
But just as he finished calling out the words "uncle"...
Then they heard a knock on the door.
Su's father went to open the door.
Then I saw my daughter Su Ya and son Su Linxi standing in front of the door.
"Why are you guys back so soon? Weren't you recording a live stream?"
Su Linxi said as she walked into the house.
"There's no way around it, my sister is too smart. We solved the case in just two hours."
"You directors are going to drive me crazy sooner or later."
The directing team.
"We've aired five episodes so far. The longest one was the one on the island. The others were only a few hours long. This makes our episodes too short."
"Who told you to choose live streaming in the first place? Now you can't even get any footage to edit."
The assistant director spoke up from the side.
"Now you guys think of a way to extend the duration."
There is only one way.
"explain."
"They set a strict time limit for each level, requiring a certain amount of time before moving on to the next. Otherwise, with their intelligence, we're no match for them. No matter how difficult the questions are, they'll solve them quickly."
"There are only two episodes left, so this is the only way we can do it."
Director Li never even considered communicating with Su Ya and Yan Jingqing to ask them to slow down their answers, knowing full well that the two of them wouldn't agree.
So don't make a fool of yourself.
"Don't worry, my sister is smart, and besides, she's very popular online now. The production team wouldn't dare to do anything to her."
"That's good. These mothers don't understand either, so you can handle it."
Su Qinghai then turned around.
"Xiao Ye, what were you trying to say just now?"
"No uncle."
Ye Qinchuan didn't dare to reveal the misunderstanding in front of Su Ya.
"By the way, Ya Ya, Xiao Ye said she'd like to treat us to lunch. Do you have time?"
After listening and thinking for a moment, Su Ya decided to agree since she had nothing else to do and it was lunchtime anyway.
Su Linxi, who was standing to the side, was almost frightened when she heard her father call the famous Young Master Ye "Little Ye".
What's going on?
Has his parents already accepted him?
Upon hearing Su Ya's agreement, Ye Qinchuan quickly said, "Then, Uncle, Aunt, Miss Su, Second Young Master Su, let's go."
He quickly stepped forward and opened the door, and no one saw him secretly smiling. He had actually prepared for Su Ya's objection and even thought of a countermeasure, but he hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.
Ye Qinchuan booked the most famous restaurant in the area. The restaurant was decorated in a classic, antique style, with a cluster of red lanterns hanging outside and inside, creating a festive and unique atmosphere. Each private room was named after a poem.
Ye Qinchuan had already booked a private room. As soon as they sat down, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to ask what they would like to order. Ye Qinchuan picked up the menu and handed it to Uncle Su, asking him to order first.
"Uncle, would you like to order a few dishes?"
"We're fine with whatever we eat, it's mainly up to you young folks."
He then turned to his daughter and asked, "Ya Ya, what would you like to eat?"
"Dad, I'm fine with anything. Pick whatever you like." Su Qinghai looked at his daughter with increasing delight; this daughter was so easy to take care of.
"Then I'll order a few dishes first, and you younger folks can order the rest."
Su Qinghai opened the menu, only to find the names were so fancy that it was impossible to tell what the dishes were. For example, the signature dishes were "Shady Summer Woods Turning into Orioles", "Tiger-shaped Chicken", "Confucius Family Pot", "Farewell My Concubine", "Butterfly Drifting on the Sea", "Wandering the World", "Spring Blossoms and Autumn Fruits", "Mandarin Duck Tube with Delicious Sauce", and "Frost and Snow Falling All Over the Head".
Su Qinghai was in a bit of a dilemma.
Su Linxi was already hungry. Although the production crew had eaten afterward, today's theme made him very uncomfortable, and he didn't eat as much as usual.
Seeing that his father hadn't ordered any dishes for a long time, he said, "Dad, how about I order something?"
When Su's father, Su Qinghai, heard about this, he quickly moved on from this hot potato.
Su Linxi took the menu, glanced at the menu items, and realized it was no wonder her father hadn't ordered anything for so long—he simply couldn't decide either. The goodwill she'd developed from Ye Qinchuan saving them was completely gone. However, she figured she might as well eat it, so she ordered the eight most expensive dishes, which were their signature dishes. Because of her grandfather, the Su family had never been one to indulge in extravagance when it came to meals. She'd heard that only when her younger sister first came back did they cook extra large portions, which were then divided up quickly; after that, the dishes were almost always prepared according to the number of people.
Eight dishes for five people, just right.
Su Linxi finished ordering the dishes from the waiter.
Then she handed the dishes to Ye Qinchuan. "Young Master Ye, why don't you order a few dishes too?"
Ye Qinchuan smiled as he took the menu, but after flipping through it and seeing the names of the dishes, his face turned somewhat green. This Ye Er was still as unreliable as ever. In the end, he reluctantly ordered a dish called "Two Yellow Kingfishers Singing".
If Ye Er could hear this, he would feel extremely aggrieved, as he had found out that this was the best restaurant in the city.
The restaurant served the food quite quickly.
When the dishes were served, Su Linxi realized what each dish was.
For example, the dish "Shady Summer Woods Turn into Orioles" was originally bamboo shoots stewed with pork ribs.
Tiger-shaped chicken is actually the famous beggar's chicken.
The vibrant colors of spring cannot be contained; there are so many ingredients inside.
Farewell My Concubine is simply stewed black-boned chicken.
Butterflies floating on the sea are sashimi.
Wandering the world, I am a bream.
Spring blossoms and autumn fruits, made from ginkgo nuts.
Dezhi Yuanyang Tube, made with pork intestines.
Frost and snow covered her head. A dessert.
Two golden kingfishers chirped. It turned out to be fried rice with eggs. There were chicken eggs and quail eggs on the side.
This name is really intimidating.
To be honest, if Ye Qinchuan hadn't been at the factory, Su Linxi would have already burst out laughing. What kind of garbage is this?
"Young Master Ye, don't blame me for not helping you. You're courting death, and I can't stop you."
When Ye Qinchuan saw these dishes being served, he felt like his hair was about to burst into flames, but he still had to force a smile and deal with Su's father, asking questions from time to time.
Ye Qinchuan smiled and invited Uncle Su and Aunt Su to try it. The two elders were quite accommodating. Seeing that her parents had started eating, Su Ya also picked up her chopsticks. She tasted it and found it quite delicious; it was just that the name was really ingenious.
Su Ya remained silent throughout the rest of the process, simply eating quietly.
Seeing this, Su's father stopped talking to Ye Qinchuan and started eating. So this meal was quite lonely.
Ye Qinchuan also sensed the unusual quietness at the dinner table. Watching Su Ya eating quietly, Ye Qinchuan's mind wandered, "When will he finally get close to Su Ya?"
ps:
Ye Qinchuan: "Author, come out here! When are you going to let me win over my wife? Even ordering food, you're creating obstacles for me."
Mumu Jiangzi: "The road ahead is long and arduous."
Ye Qinchuan: "Speak human language to me."
Mumu Jiangzi: "In plain terms, if I wanted you to win over the female lead so quickly, what would be the point of writing this?"
Ye Qinchuan: "Do you believe I'll chop you up?"
Mumu Jiangzi: "Come on, come on, who's afraid of you? If you dare touch me, I'll write seven or eight more male supporting characters to compete with you for my wife. Humph."
Ye Qinchuan: "Shameless! You..."
In this battle, the author, Jun Sheng, triumphs.
