“???”
Hearing Ji Zi say this, Zhou Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling that the more he explained, the worse it got.
"Himeko, stop teasing us, we're really just hungry..." March 7, who was caught in the train's kitchen, explained when she saw that Zhou Xiao seemed a little confused.
"Oh well."
Himeko glanced at the few remaining noodles in the bowl on March 7th. Although they were a bit cold, the noodles, glistening with dye, looked very tempting.
"Himeko? Would you like to try some?"
March 7th naturally caught Himeko's gaze, seeing her hand over the bowl:
"This is called 'Big Bowl Wide Noodles'...it's delicious."
Large bowl of wide noodles...
Himeko looked at the bowl.
Yes, it is indeed very big.
I looked at the noodles.
It is indeed very wide.
Himeko didn't mind March 7th. She picked up her chopsticks, took a wide noodle, and slurped it down. The oily sauce clung to her red lips, making them look even shinier.
Um...
chew.
That's great.
Although it's just noodles, they're very chewy. They're drizzled with hot oil, but they're not too greasy—just the right amount.
Himeko put down her chopsticks slightly, wiped the grease from her mouth with a tissue, and then looked at Zhou Xiao not far away: "Your noodles are really good...can I have a bowl?"
Himeko frankly admitted that she was originally planning to eat dinner, but Zhou Xiao's noodles were so delicious... that it awakened her hidden cravings.
"Ah... Sister Himeko didn't have dinner either?"
"I've eaten... but I want another bowl," Himeko said, indicating that she had already made one for March 7th, so one more meal wouldn't make a difference.
Um...
It's like they benefited from the popularity of the March 7th festival.
Himeko thought to herself.
...
Looking at the tidied kitchen, Zhou Xiao stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
That was too hasty.
I got ready too early...
"Since it's Sister Himeko's request... then let's make an exception and break our rules for her this once." Zhou Xiao glanced at the time; there was still some time before he went to sleep.
As for the meal on March 7th, it wouldn't be considered breaking his principles, after all... he really didn't eat dinner on the night of March 7th, and he promised that there would be dinner on that night... keeping his promises is his principle.
Zhou Xiao worked very quickly this time, and his busy figure could be seen throughout the open kitchen.
Watching Zhou Xiao's busy figure, the two people in the dining area each had their own thoughts.
Ji Zi crossed her long legs slightly, her beautiful eyes glancing at Zhou Xiao, then at March 7th.
Zhou Xiao is capable...and he's a great cook. As for Xiao Sanyue...Ji Zi suddenly thought of Sanyue Qi's usual careless manner and sighed slightly without realizing it.
Although they're not a perfect match... they're complementary, I guess?
Perhaps... I could lend a hand and help Little March?
Himeko showed a thoughtful expression.
After this trip to the space station, it is clear that Zhou Xiao's strength is not weak, and it is indeed inappropriate for him to stay in the position of logistics officer.
Or perhaps we should mention the pioneer team...?
This also allows for more communication with Xiao Sanyue during her mission.
Himeko thought it seemed quite feasible.
"The noodles are here."
Zhou Xiao placed the oil-splashed noodles in front of Ji Zi. This time, the oil-splashed noodles were different from the ones served on March 7th.
This time, the surface was covered with a lot of bright red chili peppers, which became even more fragrant after being drizzled with oil.
Himeko first said thank you, then noticed that the noodles seemed different from the previous ones. With the idea of trying something new, she took a bite.
The fiery flavor, combined with the chewy wide noodles, created an indescribable duality of spiciness that opened up new possibilities for Himeko.
It's very spicy!
But it was really fun.
Himeko felt a slight numbness and spiciness on her tongue. She looked at Zhou Xiao and asked, "Have you tried this chili pepper?"
“Of course.” Zhou Xiao nodded: “I’ve retained most of the flavor of the chili peppers in this big bowl of wide noodles.”
"..." Himeko took a sip of water, feeling the burning sensation in her mouth somewhat subside, and then asked:
Was it intentional... or accidental?
"That was definitely intentional."
Zhou Xiao wiped his hands: "This is a custom-made dish for Sister Ji Zi. Didn't you say you wanted to try something so spicy it made you cry? So, I'll make it just for you today..."
Himeko's expression gradually changed.
Many of the dishes Zhou Xiao had made before were considered too spicy by the train crew, but she didn't think so at all... She had mentioned it before, but she never expected Zhou Xiao to give her such a surprise.
Don't say it.
This feeling.
That's strange.
Even though I know it's very spicy and numbing, I still want to keep eating... Why? Is it the aroma of the oil poured over the chili peppers?
Himeko looked at the large bowl in front of her, subconsciously swallowed, and then continued slurping her noodles.
If she can continue eating, it means she can still accept it.
Seeing how much Himeko enjoyed her meal, Chef Zhou remarked that Himeko really could handle spicy food...
...
now.
March 7th was a little awkward.
How can I describe it?
She felt something was off.
Even though she arrived first, Zhou Xiao has now given Ji Zi a "custom-made" meal, and it seems that Zhou Xiao has even specially researched Ji Zi's tastes.
Never mind... it's the dining area, anyone can come here.
Zhou Xiao's cooking is so innovative, it's no problem for him to study the tastes of everyone on the train.
