"What would Young Master Jiang like to eat?" Chu Nian asked with a smile. It was her first time eating at a restaurant in this time and space!
The young emperor feigned magnanimity and said, "Waiter, bring me the menu."
"Okay!" The waiter quickly handed over the menu.
After looking through the documents for a while, the young emperor asked Jiang Bai, "Young Master Jiang, what do you think we should eat?"
Jiang Bai then said, "Let the waiter bring out a few of our signature dishes!" He then whispered to Chu Nian with a smile, "Try the signature dishes here."
Chu Nian raised an eyebrow. Jiang Bai's expression was somewhat mysterious. Could it be that the signature dishes here were designed to cater to her tastes?
But then she thought: she shouldn't be presumptuous and overthink things; she should wait for the dishes to arrive before making a decision!
She still had many doubts: In fact, even though she had met that ghost immortal, they weren't really that familiar with each other, and the other knew what she liked to eat.
Moreover, the food and dishes vary in different times and spaces. Unless he has a precise grasp of his own taste, it is impossible for him to pick out the dishes she likes every time.
If someone can accurately grasp her preferences, then they must know her quite well. To achieve this, the primary condition is that they need to have sufficient contact.
But even though she and he had met, they had never really been that close.
This matter left Chu Nian feeling very confused.
Could it be that he had had more contact with me in the past, but I just didn't know it?
If she doesn't know, either she has amnesia, or those encounters happened in her future...
This immediately gave her a huge headache. Adhering to the principle of avoiding too much involvement with the characters in the book, she genuinely didn't want to encounter these two again in the future.
During the meal, Wen Wan had assumed that as a servant, she would be serving her two masters and the court official. However, she was surprised to find that she had no chance to curry favor with her masters at all; the task of flattery was entirely done by the Grand Tutor.
Jiang Bai served Chu Nian her favorite dishes; he also served the emperor his favorite dishes; half a day passed and he didn't eat a single bite himself, which made Chu Nian a little suspicious that the dishes might be poisoned.
She said with a hint of helplessness, "Young Master Jiang, you don't need to serve me and Young Master Jiang. You should eat something too!"
Jiang Bai laughed and said, "It's alright. It's already an honor to serve Madam and Young Master Jiang. It doesn't matter if I don't eat a bite."
His satisfied smile made Chu Nian begin to suspect that he was so satisfied because he was able to have two beautiful women on either side of him today. Otherwise, why would he be so happy when she and the little emperor were eating so heartily?
Well, speaking of which, several of the dishes he mentioned earlier were indeed very much to Chu Nian's liking.
The young emperor chuckled and said, "Young Master Jiang, you really should try these delicacies. They're just as good as the food I eat at home... even better than what I eat in the palace!"
Jiang Bai hummed in agreement, then placed another dish on the little emperor's plate. His gaze was full of affection as he looked at the emperor. Seeing that the little emperor was eating with great relish, he reached out and stroked the emperor's head a few times, murmuring with a mixture of relief and emotion, "My little Jiang Gongzi is about to grow up."
The little emperor quickly picked up a bite of food and stuffed it directly into Jiang Bai's mouth.
Oh my god, this scene is so addictive!
"Hey, Madam, you're eating too!" Jiang Bai turned his head and saw Chu Nian smiling at him. He quickly said, and then asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to eat? We can order more."
Chu Nian casually said, "Dumpling soup." Actually, she was already full, but seeing Jiang Bai so enthusiastically feeding her, and the little emperor eating with great pleasure, she didn't want to spoil their fun.
The young emperor asked curiously, "What is dumpling soup? I've never heard of it before?"
Jiang Bai said, "It's a kind of noodle dish." As he spoke, he actually stood up, "However, the cooks here probably don't know how to make it. Let me go to the kitchen and take a look."
The young emperor grabbed him, surprised, and said, "How do you know the cooks here can't cook? Besides, what are you looking at in the kitchen? Can you even cook?"
"Mm," Jiang Bai replied.
The young emperor and Wen Wan were both shocked.
Jiang Bai patted the little emperor's head twice more and said, "You should like it too." Then he really went to the kitchen.
"Hey, isn't it said that 'a gentleman keeps away from the kitchen'?" the young emperor called out to him, but he had already walked away, flicking his sleeves.
The young emperor exclaimed in surprise, "Our young master Jiang is indeed a treasure trove! He has an inexhaustible wealth of knowledge!" His starry eyes shone even brighter than before, indicating his extraordinary excitement.
A moment later, a waiter placed a small plate of exquisitely presented snacks in front of Chu Nian and said, "Madam, the young master who was dining with us here just now said that this is a jujube cake specially prepared for you. Please try it."
The little emperor immediately retorted sourly, "Why is it only hers, and not mine?"
The waiter smiled helplessly and said, "Well, I don't know either. Perhaps that young master prepared other snacks for you."
"Really?" the young emperor asked, a hint of curiosity and anticipation rising in his mind about what Jiang Bai had prepared for him.
Chu Nian looked at the little emperor helplessly: This guy probably won't grow up. Why does he believe everything people say?
The waiter left quickly, and Wen Wan said with a bit of helplessness, "Young Master Jiang is really thoughtful, but unfortunately Madam doesn't like to eat these sour things."
Chu Nian smiled faintly.
The young emperor excitedly said, "What, Mother? If you don't like it, then give it to me!" He then reached out to pick up the so-called sour jujube cake.
Before his hand could even touch the edge of the plate, Chu Nian slapped it away. Chu Nian scolded, "You child, you dare eat anything you want?!"
Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with her expression, the young emperor's face changed slightly, and his interest immediately waned.
After a while, Jiang Bai returned, followed by a very young and handsome man with a high level of spiritual energy. He was carrying a large soup bowl with a large spoon inside, presumably the dumpling soup he had made.
"The dumpling soup is ready." Jiang Bai said excitedly, sitting down in his original spot, but then he saw a plate of sour jujube cake in front of Chu Nian. His face immediately darkened, and he asked, "Where did this come from?"
Wen Wan asked curiously, "Didn't you, Young Master Jiang, specially order someone to bring this up for your wife to eat?"
Jiang Bai's face darkened further. He said, "I didn't have anyone bring this to Madam." She doesn't like sour food at all. Who was trying to sow discord between them, or perhaps trying to sabotage his event?
He gestured to the young, handsome Xuanqi expert behind him to put the soup bowl down, and then gestured for the other man to take away the plate of sour jujube cake, whispering, "Check it carefully."
