He swallowed all the food in his mouth.
"vomit!"
Xu Jinwei turned her head and began to retch without any regard for her image.
Manager Zhao, Aunt Zhao, and the entire Zhao family were all dumbfounded on the spot.
What's going on?
"Water...give me...cough cough cough, water!"
"Second sister, what's wrong with you?" Bai Qianmo asked curiously.
"Could it be that my cooking is bad?"
Xu Jinwei stuck out her tongue, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.
He glared angrily at Bai Qianmo, then turned away to urge Manager Zhao, not bothering to settle scores with her.
"water!"
"Ah, oh, Miss, please wait a moment." Steward Zhao immediately went to fetch a bowl of water.
Xu Jinwei no longer cared whether the water had been scalded or not, and took the bowl of water and gulped it down.
"Clang!"
After regaining her composure, Xu Jinwei angrily threw the teacup on the ground, shattering it into pieces.
"Xu Jin'en, is the food you made meant for human consumption? How dare you force me to eat it, you brat, you did it on purpose."
Bai Qianmo smiled calmly: "Is it not tasty?"
"Delicious? Try it yourself and see if you can eat it. The taste is so strange that I can't even describe it in words. I just want to ask you, what are the proportions you use to adjust the ingredients? Even someone like me who has never cooked before can eat better than what you make."
Xu Jinwei's cheeks bulged out; this dish was the worst she had ever eaten in her life, without a doubt.
She was furious; she had been completely blinded by the dish's appearance.
"Is it really that bad?" Manager Zhao picked up his chopsticks and couldn't help but take a bite, feeling annoyed.
After putting the food in his mouth, his face gradually became strange, and his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
puff……
It sprayed out on the spot.
He wiped his mouth and gave an awkward chuckle.
"A master... The dishes made by the Fourth Miss are indeed extraordinary."
What else could he say?
"I'm going to get some water." Manager Zhao picked up the teapot and gulped down the tea.
Seeing Xu Jinwei and Manager Zhao's reactions, everyone else gave up the idea of cooking that dish.
Bai Qianmo sat back down in her seat: "Second sister, the food Aunt Zhao makes now must be delicious."
Xu Jinwei wanted to get angry. She felt that Bai Qianmo was deliberately teasing her, but she had no evidence.
"I'm not eating anymore, I'm going home."
After saying that, Xu Jinwei turned and left angrily.
"Second Miss!" Steward Zhao wanted to chase after her.
"Manager Zhao!"
Bai Qianmo stopped him and said softly, "Don't worry, my second sister wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for you over a meal."
Manager Zhao looked at Bai Qianmo with a face full of gratitude.
"Fourth Miss, thank you so much for your help today."
Bai Qianmo scoffed lightly, "I didn't help you, I just wanted her to experience what it means to taste awful."
Manager Zhao smiled, and the whole family personally escorted Bai Qianmo to the door.
Bai Qianmo got into the car, and Xu Jinwei glared at her with a livid face, snorted coldly, and turned her head away from her.
On the way back to the city, Bai Qianmo spoke first.
"Second sister, are you still angry?"
"Don't talk to me."
"I heard there's a new Western restaurant that just opened in the south of the city. Would you like to try it?"
"Don't mention food to me now, Xu Jin'en. You're clearly doing this on purpose today."
"I really wanted to cook a dish for you, but it didn't quite suit your taste. I'll try a different cuisine next time. By the way, do you prefer northern or southern food?"
"Don't mention food to me again. I will never eat anything you make again, hmph!"
Bai Qianmo was in a good mood seeing Xu Jinwei angry.
The car drove along the country road back to the city, with lush vines and trees on both sides.
The road was a bumpy dirt road, and the car bumped along it.
Xu Jinwei hadn't eaten all day and was also feeling carsick, experiencing waves of acid reflux.
"parking!"
The driver quickly stopped the car.
Xu Jinwei opened the car door and got out, then squatted by the roadside and dry heaved.
Bai Qianmo looked around. There was no village or shop in sight, and she hadn't seen any pedestrians along the way.
She also got out of the car and walked to Xu Jinwei's side.
"Second sister, are you alright?"
"I feel terrible, it's all your fault for that dish. I still feel nauseous. Ugh..." He mumbled a few words before retching again.
Bai Qianmo patted her back: "It's because you haven't eaten all day."
Xiao Huan, Bi'er, and two old women got out of another car.
Bi'er and the two old women stepped forward to serve her, while Bai Qianmo took two steps back and stood under an old locust tree to cool off.
The weather is great today, though it's quite sunny at midday.
Xu Jinwei vomited for a while and showed signs of dehydration.
Bi'er asked the driver, "How much longer until we get home?"
"It will take about another hour."
Xu Jinwei felt completely drained of energy. She didn't care about being clean or not, and sat down on the lawn next to Bai Qianmo.
"I can't go on anymore, let's rest here for a while."
"Then let's rest for a while," Bai Qianmo agreed.
Xu Jinwei's face turned pale, and she didn't forget to glare at Bai Qianmo with a sour look.
"Xu Jin'en, you just wait. When we get back, I'll show you what I'm made of."
Bai Qianmo chuckled and casually picked a small yellow wildflower beside her.
