Fubao's eyes lit up when he saw the meat, and he ordered three steaks, as well as French fries, grilled wings, salad, mushroom soup, a sandwich, and cake, which was almost enough.
The waiter smiled and asked, "How would you like your steak done?"
"Ah?" Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, "Of course it has to be well-done."
Old Shen asked curiously, "How well cooked are you?"
"Yes, the steaks we have here are rare, medium, medium, and well-done." The waiter patiently explained, "You probably don't eat Western food very often, so you usually order well-done. Some customers who like Western food usually order medium-rare."
"Seven points?! That means it's still raw. How can we eat it?" Old Mrs. Shen found it hard to imagine. In her opinion, eating raw meat is so unhygienic. If it is not cooked before eating, it will have a bloody smell, right?
The waiter smiled and said, "You don't know this, old lady. Medium-rare beef is very tender, and that's how foreigners eat it. There's also medium-rare, which is really close to raw meat. Everyone has different habits."
"Will it be more tender?" Shen Zhile expressed his curiosity. In the past, no matter how poor his family was, he had never eaten raw meat. No, he had no meat to eat. But when he had meat to eat, it was always cooked.
He really wanted to taste the tender beef.
So I said to the waiter, "Then order one of them medium rare. I want to try it."
"Okay. Then two well-done and one medium-rare, right? Wait a moment, we'll serve the food as soon as possible." After placing the order, the waiter turned and walked towards the kitchen.
While waiting for the food, Fu Bao looked at Long Xiao and asked curiously, "Long Xiao, have you ever eaten raw meat?"
Long Xiao's eyes fell on her little face, and he smiled and said, "I have eaten."
"Have you eaten it?" This surprised Fubao.
But after all, he was a dragon, so it didn't seem strange for him to eat raw meat.
She became interested, "What kind of raw meat have you eaten? What does it taste like?"
Speaking of this, Long Xiao lowered his eyes, a trace of self-mockery and bitterness flashed across his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said: "If I say that I have eaten raw rat meat and snake meat, would you believe it?"
Wha…what?!
Rat meat?!
Fu Bao was stunned. He was a dragon, why would he eat something like that? It was terrifying to think about it. How could he eat such a black mouse and a slippery snake?
It’s better to eat it raw!
Fu Bao really couldn't imagine it and couldn't help asking, "Why would you eat that? Don't you have anything else to eat?"
The bitterness in Long Xiao's eyes deepened. "Yes, there is nothing else to eat, so I can only eat those."
“How could it be…?”
Long Xiao held her hand under the table, moved closer to her and said, "Have you forgotten that I am a bastard?"
Fu Bao opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and suddenly remembered this. Yes, Long Xiao is an illegitimate child.
He seemed to have been locked up in a side hall and not allowed to go out. He said she found him and often brought him food. She and he naturally became playmates. Gradually, they developed feelings for each other.
Could it be that when he was locked up in the side hall, no one paid any attention to him and just let him fend for himself there? Did he have nothing to eat but rats and snakes in the hall?
Imagine a ragged and dirty child, who seemed to be abandoned, living alone in a cold side hall, only able to associate with snakes, insects, rats and ants, and eating their meat when hungry... Just thinking about it, Fubao's heart suddenly ached.
