A big pot of mushroom and loofah soup, a bowl of scrambled eggs with chili peppers, a bowl of stir-fried water spinach, a bowl of lettuce with garlic, a bowl of cold spinach appetizer, and a pot of beer duck.

There is also a pot of fried chicken with shallots, which is specially fried with tea oil. The chicken is shiny and the aroma is enough to make people drool.

There are also the crucian carps that grandpa brought these days. He caught two fresh ones from the pond and made crucian carp with chopped pepper and patchouli.

After Wang Yanmei finished cooking and cleaning the kitchen, she washed her hands and came out. Seeing that no one had started eating yet, she warmly invited everyone to eat quickly and also kindly asked the girl if she was tired from the flight today.

Huo Ying was very polite to her elders. She immediately shook her head and said she was not tired. She called them auntie, uncle, and said her own name.

Huo Ying, Ying means hero.

Wang Yanmei praised repeatedly: "This is a good name, then Auntie will call you Yingzi."

Adding a "zi" after the name instantly gives it a sense of age.

Xu Qingzhi suddenly remembered the story about the origin of his name that he had heard from his parents.

This name was not originally planned. At that time, her mother liked to watch the Legend of White Snake and especially liked Xiaoqing in it. So when her eldest daughter was born, she wanted to name her Xu Qing, but the fortune teller said that the child needed a three-character name to match her appearance.

Wang Yanmei originally wanted her daughter's nickname to be Qingzi, so she planned to just call her Xu Qingzi.

The fortune teller waved his hands and said no, he had missed the mark, this girl’s fate must not have the color green, so he gave her a name that sounded similar to “Qingzhi”.

Wang Yanmei and Xu Fuqiang were not well educated, and since this name sounded quite literary, they just decided to call them that.

So Wang Yanmei didn't mean to tell Huo Ying to call her Yingzi. When she was young, she called people that out of a sense of intimacy.

Wen Shanshan wanted to laugh.

Huo Ying had never been called that before. Most people called her Yingying, but she didn't care. "It's all right. Auntie, you can call me whatever you want."

"Okay, Yingzi, come here and try these dishes to see if they suit your taste." Wang Yanmei's face was full of simple and warm smile.

Huo Ying was brought up in a pampered environment and was somewhat picky about food, but perhaps it was because he had to rush over in time for the flight and hadn’t eaten anything all day, but just by smelling the aroma of the food in the air, he felt that it must be delicious.

She picked up the chopsticks and said, "Then I won't be polite."

Being a carnivore, she tried a piece of chicken first.

Wang Yanmei held the bowl and chopsticks without moving, looked at her, and asked eagerly: "Yingzi, are you used to this dish?"

Huo Ying ate so much that she didn't want to speak, for fear of diluting the taste in her mouth. She felt that the meat was so tender that she could just bite it lightly. The meat was just the right tenderness, and there was a fresh fragrance between her lips and teeth.

Yes, fresh fragrance!

How can fried chicken taste so good and satisfy the carnivores' desire for a juicy and succulent texture while also having a fresh fragrance?

It must be the taste of the shallots! She had never eaten fried chicken with shallots in Kyoto, so this must be a common dish here.

She contentedly took a mouthful of rice and politely replied, "Auntie, I'm used to it. Of course I'm used to such delicious food. It smells so good."

However, she soon discovered the problem.

Why does the taste of this rice taste so familiar?

In the past twenty years, she has always felt that the taste of rice is more or less the same. Maybe the Northeast rice is rounder and tastes more fragrant, and there is also that kind of long rice that she doesn't know what it is but tastes quite special.

But this rice is different. She ate it once at the old house last time and remembered the taste. She even went there to have several meals during meal times.

Moreover, not only the rice is delicious, but also the vegetables, each one is delicious.

The only regret was that the lobster on the side tasted inferior to the bok choy, and there was no meat dish that satisfied her.

At this moment, she looked around the table for a few bowls of vegetables, and then she remembered that her grandfather said that the vegetables at home were sent by Yan Ge's friends. Could it be that...

As if to confirm her own thoughts, she quickly picked up a piece of water spinach and then a piece of lettuce, and ate them one by one. She finally confirmed that the taste was very similar to the dishes in this restaurant.

As for why it’s just similar, it’s because the aunt’s cooking skills are obviously better, and the stir-fried vegetables taste much better than those in the old house.

Huo Ying had previously regretted that the vegetables in the old house were delicious, but there was no delicious meat.

At this moment, she immediately picked up another piece of duck meat.

Moreover, this duck meat does not taste as soft as crumbs in your mouth as some other duck meat. The meat is very tender and firm.

"Delicious, these dishes are so delicious." Huo Ying couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing while eating, as if he was enjoying some exquisite delicacy. He even forgot the Huo family's teaching of not talking while eating.

On the contrary, Huo Jin next to him hardly moved his chopsticks. The few times he moved his chopsticks were when Huo Ying wanted to pick some delicious parts of chicken or duck but was too embarrassed to choose dishes openly, so he only picked up the dishes for himself with a tangled brow.

Huo Jin picked up the chopsticks, picked up the bones with a little chicken skin in the bowl, and put them into Huo Ying's bowl.

These small pieces of meat with bones are the most delicious. The bones are almost broken into pieces, and the skin is smooth and tender. When you eat it in one bite, the best taste is the juice from the broken bones and the meat.

Huo Jin has been her bodyguard since she was a child, so even if she doesn't say anything, he always knows what she is thinking.

Huo Ying was used to being taken care of, so he ate with peace of mind.

Wang Yanmei, who was standing by, noticed this and asked him, "Young man, why don't you eat anything yourself but only pick up food for Yingzi?"

Huo Jin lowered his head slightly, not looking at others with his eyes, and said slowly with a clean and magnetic voice, "I'm not very hungry. It's my job to take good care of the young lady's meal."

Huo Yingcai remembered that he hadn't introduced Huo Jin to his aunt and uncle yet, so he pointed at Huo Jin and said, "Aunt, this is my bodyguard. You don't have to worry about him. He will eat some snacks when he's hungry."

Huo Jin nodded slightly in response: "Yeah."

He had to respond to everything the young lady said about him; it was his duty.

Wang Yanmei saw that he was dressed in a suit and tie, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, and looked quite gentle. She didn't expect that he was a bodyguard, and such a powerful one.

However, Wang Yanmei hated to see people not eating at the table. If they were not used to it, it was another matter. She frowned and said, "You can't skip meals. You have to eat a little. It's not okay to skip meals and just eat snacks. It's even worse not to skip meals if you're not hungry. You have to eat every meal on time."

After saying that, she looked at everyone.

"You young people nowadays are relying on your good health and not eating well. When you are old and sick, you will regret it."

Xu Fuqiang was afraid that she would talk too much and upset the children, so he stopped her and said, "Okay, let's eat. Why are you talking so much?"

Wang Yanmei glared at her man in reproach, but she didn't say anything wrong.

Huo Ying was eating the chicken pieces that Huo Jin picked for her. They were the best and he could see them accurately as he picked them up and put them into her bowl.

With so many delicious dishes, it would be a shame if Huo Jin didn't eat any.

So she secretly kicked the table to the side.

When did Huo Jin's legs become so stiff? The key point is that there was no reaction after I kicked him twice.

What's going on? Normally, whenever she moves, he knows what she is going to do.

Huo Ying kicked him twice more fiercely. It was painful, but he deserved it. Who made him ignore her? What a stinky man! Huo Fengyan, who was eating quietly on Huo Ying's left, finally couldn't help it. He lowered his voice and said coldly: "Huo Ying, if you have something to say, just say it."

Huo Ying: ...

Embarrassed, she forgot she couldn't tell left from right.

She clearly wanted to use her right foot, but why did she use her left foot, and she kicked Brother Yan's leg on the left.

She scratched her head awkwardly, "Sorry, my leg is cramped, move a few times."

Then, she looked angrily at Huo Jin on her right.

Huo Jin immediately asked her in a low voice: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Huo Ying gritted her teeth and ordered in a voice that only two people could speak: "Even if you are not hungry, you have to eat this meal tonight!"

She looked like a typical vicious lady, and then she continued to eat her meal.

Huo Jin's whole body was tense, and there seemed to be unconcealable emotions in his eyes, but he forced himself to hold it back. With a submissive attitude, he said softly in a magnetic voice: "Yes, my lady."

He ate in an extremely polite manner. Even though everyone else at the table was immersed in the food and praising it, he was the only one who ate politely and restrainedly without uttering a word.
