Chapter 75 Merit
Hearing Vivian praise Gu Yanxiao, Anthony raised an eyebrow, a sense of crisis rising in his heart.
He said, "Vivian, if you want a garden, I can transform the manor in Port Berto into a garden you would like."
For Anthony, if Vivian liked it, he would give her anything, not just a garden, but an entire island.
Vivian exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, really? Anthony, you're so kind to me!"
As she spoke, Vivian threw herself into Anthony's arms and gave him a passionate kiss.
"Cough...cough cough..."
Gu's father, who had just finished cooking and came out to call everyone to eat, was caught off guard by this scene. He turned around awkwardly and stammered, "Xiang Wan, the food is ready. Please let everyone eat!"
These foreign young people are so enthusiastic and unrestrained! Hugging and kissing in public like this is really too much for us older folks to handle!
But then again, it seems like he hasn't kissed his wife in a long time.
How about tonight...
While serving rice to everyone, Gu's mother suddenly shivered, feeling an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
Turning around, she met Gu's father's ardent gaze.
Startled by the sudden turn of events, Gu's mother said irritably, "What are you doing? You scared me to death!"
This old man, despite his advanced age, still looks like he wants to eat people alive.
Even after being scolded, Mr. Gu remained unperturbed and continued to smile. His wife was so beautiful; even when she was angry, she was still adorable.
"Why is this old man acting so strangely?" Gu's mother didn't pay much attention, mainly because she was too busy entertaining a group of distinguished guests to bother with him.
Although Su Xiangwan didn't cook the meal at home today.
But the water used was all prepared in advance from the sacred spring.
Combined with Gu's mother's culinary skills, it was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
Even Ding Yaping, who is used to eating at all kinds of high-end hotels and delicacies, praised it highly.
Not to mention Vivian and Anthony, who had only recently arrived in the land of gastronomy.
"Oh my god! This is so delicious! Su, your cooking is the best I've ever eaten in my life!"
After taking a bite of wild boar meat, Vivian exclaimed in disbelief.
It's absolutely delicious!
How can there be such delicious food in the world!
Not only her, but Anthony was also full of praise: "Su, the food in your country is truly incredible! I originally came for investment returns, but now it seems that the food in your country is the biggest gain of this trip."
Hearing his praise, Su Xiangwan smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it."
As for the investment Anthony mentioned, she didn't ask any further questions. After all, it concerned the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and asking too many questions might not be a good thing.
However, while she remained silent, Vivian suddenly had an idea. She looked at Anthony and said, "Anthony, I think we could also make some investments in this city."
Even if it's just for the sake of family-friendly food, this investment is worthwhile.
Anthony paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He nodded and said, "It's not impossible. Anyway, the city is small, and the amount of investment isn't large."
Although Ding Yaping didn't understand English, after so many days of hard study, she memorized a few simple words.
He especially knows the word "investment" by heart.
At this moment, hearing Vivian and Anthony occasionally utter this word, I felt as if my heart was being gripped by a cat.
Unfortunately, he couldn't understand the string of sentences strung together, so he could only subconsciously turn his pleading gaze to Su Xiangwan.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Su Xiangwan was being pestered by Vivian, and he could only feel extremely anxious.
"They just said they're planning to invest in the city center."
Just then, Gu Yanxiao's voice rang in Ding Yaping's ears.
"Really? That's great! Wait, something's not right..."
After the initial surprise, Ding Yaping looked at Gu Yanxiao in astonishment and asked, "You speak foreign languages too?"
Gu Yanxiao nodded. He had studied foreign languages when he was in school, and after joining the army, he studied them even more diligently, so he was naturally proficient in them.
However, he has always been a man of few words, even when facing those around him, let alone his fellow foreigners.
Last time on the train, he was about to speak, but since Su Xiangwan had already spoken, he chose to keep a low profile.
"Then...then why didn't you say anything last time? If you had, you and your husband..."
Ding Yaping's words, which he was about to say, disappeared from his throat when he saw Gu's parents and Gu Yanfei.
yes!
If Gu Yanxiao and Su Xiangwan both leave, leaving only Gu's parents and Gu Yanfei to go to the countryside, how could Gu Yanxiao and the others feel at ease?
Having figured this out, Ding Yaping stopped dwelling on it and instead focused his attention on the investment.
He hurriedly whispered to Su Xiangwan, "Xiao Su, if you can confirm the investment they mentioned, I'll give you credit for it."
Su Xiangwan raised an eyebrow and said, "Put it on Gu Yanxiao's head."
"I don't need it, you can keep it on your head." Gu Yanxiao quickly refused.
His contributions are more than enough.
On the contrary, because of her sensitive position, more credit would allow her to have better development in the future.
Ding Yaping felt a pang of sympathy when she heard the two of them backing down.
He was already suffering enough from constantly facing Vivian and Anthony, this foreign couple.
Now that they've come to this Eight Trees Village, and with Su Xiangwan and Gu Yanxiao joining them, how are they going to let someone like him, who's always busy with work and can't spend time with his wife and kids, live?
"You two stop backing down. I'll put both of your names on the list, okay?"
"Yes, yes, of course." Su Xiangwan nodded repeatedly.
But the most important thing now is to take good care of Vivian and Anthony.
If the flowers are in full bloom, the butterflies will come.
As long as their food is tempting enough, I don't believe they can't keep these foodies here.
Thinking to herself, Su Xiangwan smiled and said to Vivian, "Since you like my family's cooking, why don't you stay at my house tonight? Tomorrow we'll cook something even more delicious for you!"
Su Xiangwan believed that with the cuisine of her country, she could keep Vivian and the others there for 365 days a year without repeating a single dish.
Are you worried about not being able to entice people to stay?
"Su, will tomorrow's dishes be as delicious as today's?" Vivian's eyes lit up as she asked.
“Of course!” Su Xiangwan raised her eyebrows. Not to mention Gu’s mother’s cooking skills, which combined the expertise of chefs from various schools, just the addition of spiritual spring water alone made even a simple bowl of white rice a mouthwatering delicacy.
