Although she had never eaten stew in an iron pot, Mu Liuyun believed that no matter what cuisine or cooking method, the underlying logic was the same.
But if you don't stir-fry all the ingredients before cooking them, how can they possibly taste good?
Coupled with the waitress's terrible service, Mu Liuyun suddenly regretted arguing with Shen Jing earlier; leaving would have been the best option.
"I'm back."
Before the pot boiled, Gu Nan finally wiped his hands with a tissue and sat back down in his seat.
Seeing Mu Liuyun staring intently at the large pot in the center of the table, he smiled elegantly and said, "Don't worry, the pot won't be full!"
Because they had missed the waiter's serving time, Gu Nan hadn't seen the incredible cooking method. He assumed that Mu Liuyun, with her small mouth, was worried that the four of them would either overeat or waste the food if they ate the whole pot.
Thinking of this, Gu Nan found Mu Liuyun even more adorable. She was also thrifty and knew how to manage a household, just like him when he was in dire straits!
Later, after he marries Shen Lanxin, he will definitely make you his little housekeeper.
As for myself, I have an icy, mature woman on my left and a beautiful, cute girl on my right. I can just casually write some novels. I'm practically a winner in life!
Just as Gu Nan was enjoying her dream, the waitress came back with a small lunchbox filled with black sauce and a spatula.
Immediately afterwards, she opened the small lunchbox and poured all the sauce into the pot. While pouring, her ungloved fingers even touched the sauce.
"Alas!"
Gu Nan felt nauseous at the sight. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the aunt pull down her mask, lick her fingers, and casually stir the pot with a spatula.
"Once the pot boils, it's ready to eat."
After saying that, the aunt left without looking back.
Gu Nan stood there, stunned, wanting to say something, but his aunt's actions completely shut him up.
"She really is a waitress with character."
Shen Jing still tried her best to say nice things, even though the expression on her face was already showing signs of embarrassment.
Shen Jing doesn't know how to cook. At most, she thinks the waiter's actions are a bit unhygienic. However, considering the restaurant's price and positioning, she doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. She's even secretly looking forward to the taste after the pot is boiled.
Two days ago, due to an urgent work matter, neither she nor Shen Lanxin attended the Chu family's welcome banquet. This was no big deal for Shen Lanxin, since they could eat whenever they wanted, but it was different for Shen Jing, who had been looking forward to it for several days.
But compared to her expectations for Shui Yilan, she was more looking forward to having dinner with her brother Nan.
After all, as the saying goes, what you eat and how you eat it doesn't matter; what matters is who you eat with.
Mu Liuyun and Gu Nan, who understood each other best, exchanged a glance and both saw the panic in each other's eyes.
Something's not right!
While a waiter's attitude doesn't necessarily reflect the quality of a restaurant, such behavior makes it hard to believe the food is particularly delicious.
But under Shen Jing's constant praise, Gu Nan could only bite the bullet and say, "Although the waiters aren't very good, the food here is really delicious."
Soon, the water in the pot began to boil, and the heated sauce emitted a fragrant aroma.
Shen Lanxin sniffed the scent wafting in the air and nodded. The air was filled with a blend of various spices, and it did indeed smell pleasant.
For Shen Lanxin, as long as the food could fill her stomach, there wasn't much difference.
Mu Liuyun also sniffed the pot, then looked at it with a puzzled expression.
The taste was surprisingly good; could it actually be worth the wait?
Yeah, with such terrible service, if the food isn't good or the food isn't tasty, what's the point of this restaurant?
A little while later, the waitress came over with several cornmeal dough balls. Using the same recipe, she stuck the dough directly to the side of the pot without gloves.
Some of the dough pieces were even submerged directly in the soup.
"Open the pot in ten minutes."
After saying that, the aunt picked off the remaining cornmeal from her hands and threw it on the ground, leaving the four of them with a majestic and imposing back view.
Seeing this, Mu Liuyun felt a chill run down her spine.
All that expectation was just an illusion.
Shen Jing and Gu Nan exchanged a tense glance. Only Shen Lanxin remained calm and composed.
Although her face remained expressionless, Shen Lanxin felt a sense of anticipation.
During her workdays, she is often too busy and, since she has a slight taste problem, she simply eats some nutritional capsules as a substitute for meals.
Even when she wasn't busy with work, she would follow Shen Jing around and eat whatever Shen Jing ate.
But today, the first time she sat down to eat with Mu Liuyun, Shen Lanxin felt as if the ordinary iron pot in front of her had suddenly become a jade plate, filled with all kinds of delicacies.
This really proves the saying that what you eat and how you eat it doesn't matter; what matters is who you eat with.
The thought of sharing a meal with Mu Liuyun made Shen Lanxin feel great, and she completely forgot about the "intimate" interaction between Mu Liuyun and Shen Jing just now.
Oh, and don't forget the concert!
Suddenly remembering her business, Shen Lanxin picked up her water glass, took a sip of cold water, and asked, "Do you have time tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Gu Nan, who had been staring at the pot, immediately looked up, flicked his bangs, and gave a wicked smile: "Yes, is Lan Xin inviting me on a date?"
Shen Lanxin seemed not to hear what Gu Nan said, her charming eyes reflecting Mu Liuyun's figure.
"Huh? Me?"
Mu Liuyun pointed to her own, looking incredulous: "Is something wrong?"
"I have a few concert tickets, do you want to come along?"
A concert?
For some reason, upon hearing those three words, Mu Liuyun suddenly thought of an old friend with a middle-parted hairstyle. That old friend had also been generous, but he was also the one who treated her the least like a human being.
However, isn't Shen Lanxin the same?
Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Mr. Shen, you probably forgot that you warned me before that I didn't need to contact you anymore."
Mu Liuyun's words failed to provoke Shen Lanxin. Shen Lanxin simply shook her head calmly: "I didn't say that. I said you didn't need to come, but I didn't say I couldn't look for you."
"..."
Oh, that's really awesome.
Mu Liuyun had never realized before that Shen Lanxin, who was such a cold person, always left room for maneuver in her words.
But Gu Nan was right in front of her, her white moonlight, her cinnabar mole. Why invite Mu Liuyun instead of Gu Nan?
Just to show off their affection in front of him at the concert? What's the point? Is it just to disgust people?
He's not a substitute for your beloved, and he doesn't have any feelings for you, Shen Lanxin, so this doesn't disgust him.
Unable to figure it out, Mu Liuyun stopped thinking.
Forget it, whatever. No matter what it's for, I, Mu Liuyun, will never go out with a violent maniac like you!
