"I know, I know. My uncle will definitely not drink too much."
Uncle Ruan glanced at his niece through the rearview mirror and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
The little one in their family is really different from other kids.
Mature and steady!
When other people’s children go to a strange place and their families are not around, they cry and make a fuss, but their little one Ruanruan doesn’t cry or make a fuss, and is very sensible and understands adults.
It's simply an angel baby!
"Aren't you still here?"
"If it really doesn't work, go into the box and call your uncle. They can't refuse to let you go."
He brought the little guy over so that he could find a reason to leave the party early, so as to avoid returning late and being scolded by the old man and the old lady.
Ruanruan had given him many excuses to leave before.
I don’t know what his parents are thinking. They are always worried that he will become a bad student if he hangs out in the entertainment industry with a bunch of directors, actors, producers, entertainment company bosses and others.
He watched me closely. If I didn't go home after 11:30, not only would I be scolded by Eaton, but I would also have to kneel on a banana peel.
He is already an adult and has been in the entertainment industry for so many years. He has seen everything. How could he go astray so easily?
Uncle Ruan booked a private restaurant, which was very hidden. The restaurant was decorated in a country style, a one-story bungalow with a courtyard inside, which was full of private rooms.
Ruanruan was carried out of the car by Uncle Ruan and entered the small private room that Uncle Ruan had reserved in advance.
Uncle Ruan called the waiter to look after Ruanruan, ordered a few dishes for her, and gave her some instructions on the dishes she wanted to eat before leaving the private room.
"Little boy, is there anything else you want to eat?" The waiter placed the menu in front of Ruanruan.
Ruanruan stared at the pictures on the menu and pointed with her little finger.
"Hmm~~Sister, I also want this braised fish, this fan bone, this beef, this spare ribs, this prawn, this roast chicken, this steamed fish, and this coconut chicken soup... I want everything on this page!"
Ruanruan thought about it and clapped her hands.
"I want these vegetables too!"
"I also want three buckets of rice and six trays of steamed buns."
"This... is so much. Can you finish it, kid?" The waiter shook his lips and asked in a gentle voice.
She remembered that the gentleman just now seemed to have said that there was only one person dining there.
Ruanruan shook her head, "No! I'm not eating this alone, little sister."
"Please make it and pack it up for me afterwards. Ruanruan can just eat the ones that my uncle ordered."
"Oh, by the way, I want another takeaway for what my uncle ordered: roast suckling pig, braised eggplant, steamed spare ribs, and abalone stewed in chicken soup."
Waiter: "Okay, little one, please wait a moment. I'll ask someone to make it for you now. Please stay here for a while and don't run around. Your sister will be back soon."
Ruanruan: "Little sister, go ahead, I will be a good boy."
The waiter looked at her with a gentle smile on her face. This child was so cute, much more well-behaved and polite than the other children she knew.
She pushed open the door of the box and closed it behind her as she left.
Ruanruan moved the vase that she had just taken from her uncle's car to the chair next to her.
When the food is ready, she will give it to her little brother and let him have a taste as well.
Zhao Chengqian was sitting in the study at this time, and the Prince of Jin next to him had a gloomy expression.
Ying Yi stood in front of the table and reported: "Your Highness, our people have gone bad. There is nothing unusual in the place where the little immortal was almost assassinated today."
"Ruanruan is here for the first time, it's impossible for her to have any connection with anyone." Zhao Chengqian frowned.
"Unless Ruanruan stumbled upon something or heard something, and that person wanted to silence her."
"Father, I will ask Ruanruan tomorrow."
"Gurgle..." A strange sound came from the study.
Zhao Chengqian lowered his head, his face and neck turned red, and he subconsciously covered his stomach.
After Ruanruan went back, he read for a while and then followed his father to the study. He had forgotten to eat dinner and didn't even realize that he was hungry.
Prince Jin and Ying Yi looked at him separately, and Ying Yi immediately lowered his eyes.
"I forgot that the prince and the crown prince haven't had their meal yet. I'll have them served right away."
Ying turned around and left the study.
A moment later, he was holding two bowls of noodles. There was nothing in the noodles except some dried vegetables, some coarse salt, and a light layer of oil.
Yingyi placed the tray on the table, brought out bowls of noodles, and placed them in front of Prince Jin and Prince Jin's son.
"Your Highness, this noodle is made with flour sent by the little immortal. The flour is finer than the flour on the market and does not contain any impurities."
"The chef in the kitchen said it's very chewy. Please enjoy it with the prince."
He stared at the two bowls of noodles and swallowed secretly. Such fine noodles could probably only be found in the imperial palace.
Yingyi couldn't wait to go to the kitchen to have a bowl.
"Um...I'll take my leave now."
"Go." King Jin did not let him stay any longer.
Only Prince Jin and Zhao Chengqian were left in the study. The father and son picked up noodles with chopsticks.
Prince Jin had been drinking porridge and eating noodles for a long time, but this was the first time he had tasted such delicate noodles.
He took a bite and put it in his mouth, chewing it for a few times.
The aroma of noodles instantly spread in his mouth. It was very chewy and had a light aroma of oil. It had a slightly bitter taste, but fortunately it was not strong and could be ignored.
Zhao Chengqian looked at the noodles in the bowl and fell into thought.
"Father, the salt they use over there is different from the salt we use here. The salt they use in their noodles only tastes salty, without any other flavors."
The coarse salt here contains a lot of impurities and can cause poisoning if eaten too much. Many people cannot afford refined salt and can only eat coarse salt.
However, the process of refining crude salt into refined salt is very complicated, so it is very scarce. Only the royal palace or the homes of some officials and wealthy people can have some.
Even the salt in the palace contained some impurities and sometimes had a slightly bitter taste.
After Zhao Chengqian returned here, every time he ate, he would think of the delicious food he had eaten at Ruanruan's house that day.
The taste was completely different from what he usually ate. There was no bitterness at all and it was very fragrant, just like the chicken soup that Ruanruan gave them, with a pure flavor.
"If Dagan could also produce refined salt like that, the people of Dagan wouldn't be poisoned by eating coarse salt..."
Prince Jin pursed his lips. His words aroused the gluttony in his stomach.
I originally thought the noodles in my bowl were very fragrant.
Now it doesn’t smell as good as it used to be, and I’m starting to want to try the food from Ruanruan’s place.
"Soft, that is the place we cannot reach. We just need to know it. People should not forget their roots and should not lose their original heart."
That was a fairyland that was beyond their reach. It was a great fortune for them to know that there was such a place and to get help from the little gods.
Zhao Chengqian understood that Prince Jin was warning him that what happened at Ruanruan's house was nothing but illusions, and he would eventually have to return to reality. No matter how hard they worked, they would never become like Ruanruan.
"Son understands."
Just as the two finished speaking, the vase suddenly lit up, and several fragrant lunch boxes came out of it.
