The two chatted, and Li Jun didn't say much. The atmosphere among the three was quite harmonious, which made Song Youyuan secretly relieved.
The chef worked very quickly and the deluxe version of spicy hot pot was ready in no time.
The waiter pushed a dark gold dining cart, which was simple yet classy. On it were two white porcelain bowls that exuded the aroma of food. The bowls were very large and did not fit in with a Western restaurant. Instead, they looked like bowls from a high-end hot pot restaurant.
As the waiter pushed the food closer, the aroma of the spicy hot pot became stronger and stronger, covering the entire western restaurant.
The waiter pushed it, and people from other private rooms came out and asked, "What is this? Why does it smell so good?"
The man who came out to ask was wearing a suit and tie and looked like an elite.
"Hello sir! This is the restaurant's hidden dish, spicy hot pot!"
When the man heard about Malatang, a street food junk, he immediately frowned and questioned, "Aren't you a high-end Western restaurant? Why are you serving this kind of tasteless street food? It really lowers the quality of the restaurant. I trust your restaurant so much, but I didn't expect you to have this kind of food!"
The waiter's polite smile faded, but he still responded politely: "Sir, there is no high or low in food. No one says that Western restaurants can't have spicy hot pot."
The waiter paused for a moment and then said, "Besides, our restaurant is a membership-based restaurant. Malatang is not on your menu!"
The waiters handled the situation well as a whole, and the man in the suit blushed.
The man in the suit shouted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! I've been here so many times and I've never heard of any membership system at your place!"
Seeing him furious, the waiters remained calm. They were professionally trained and would not easily show negative emotions to customers.
The waiter said, "Sir, our restaurant currently has no more than ten members. They are all relatives and friends of the boss, so we have different dishes!"
The boss’s relatives and friends?
The man immediately became intimidated when he heard this. He couldn't afford to offend this boss. Although he didn't know the details, he probably knew that the boss had a background and he couldn't afford to offend him.
The man was also able to bend and stretch, and immediately said with a flattering smile: "Is that so... Then I am not eligible for membership..."
He thought for a moment, since he could order spicy hot pot, then this must be the boss's friend, and this friend must be someone he doesn't usually meet. He wondered if he could get to know him!
He looked around and asked tentatively in a low voice, "Do you know who this person who ordered the spicy hot pot is?"
"Sir, this is the customer's privacy!"
The man looked at the waiter, who had a smile on his face but didn't look very sincere, and gave up. Forget it, he couldn't get himself involved. If he didn't allow me to ask, then so be it!
snort!
He turned around and went into the private room.
The waiter pushed the cart away, but after a few steps, the man came out of the private room and called out to her, "Um... could you give me a serving of spicy hot pot, too?"
"Sir, this is a member's menu!"
The man smacked his lips and went in again without saying anything.
The waiter quickened his pace and came to the box where Song Youyuan was and knocked on the door.
"Hello, serve the food!"
"Come in!"
The waiter came in and came to the two of them and opened the lid of the porcelain bowl. The aroma instantly emanated.
Looking into the porcelain bowl, I saw that the soup base was thick with unmelted peanut sesame paste, dense white sesame seeds sprinkled on top, and garnished with green chopped green onions and coriander, which was very tempting.
The waiter placed a large porcelain bowl in the middle of the table, gave each of the three people a small bowl, and then retreated, as they had other dishes to serve.
Song Youyuan also loves to eat. She was already drooling at the tempting spicy hot pot in front of her. Plus, she was the youngest at the table, so she was the one to serve everyone!
She was very, very happy to!
She picked up the shared spoon and said to the two of them, "Let me serve everyone! This looks delicious!"
Her little thoughts were written all over her face, making Li Linghe doubt his own judgment.
Could someone with such obvious thoughts really fish? Was he mistaken?
Since she was willing to do it, Li Linghe and Li Jun naturally did not object. After all, the fact that she was holding the spoon and was injured was obvious.
They just have to wait for the meal.
Although the spicy hot pot smells tempting, it looks no different from the ones sold in street shops outside, but in fact it has a lot more secrets.
As the spoon in Song Youyuan's hand entered the bowl, the world gradually appeared.
This bowl of spicy hot pot abandons the cheap frozen ingredients such as beef balls that can be easily bought on the street. These balls are replaced with handmade ones made with fresh ingredients, such as fish balls, hand-beaten dumplings, beef balls... Even the crab sticks are made of real crab meat.
Besides these, there are also rare ingredients not found in other spicy hot pots, such as abalone with modified cuts and arm-long lobster tails cut into thin slices...
As she stirred, all kinds of dazzling ingredients swam in the thick soup.
Song Youyuan restrained his selfish desire to monopolize the food and scooped it all out for the three of them, without any bias, so that no one got more or less.
Looking at the mouth-watering food in front of them, no one wanted to talk.
Song Youyuan quickly returned to his seat and sat down, picking up a piece of crystal clear thick shrimp slices. It was so tender, the crystal clear snow-white shrimp meat had red veins on it. He couldn't wait to put it in his mouth, and it was so fresh and smooth, with a fresh elasticity when he bit it, not stiff at all.
Try the others, they are even more delicious.
It has both the high-end feel of high culture and the everyday atmosphere of the alleys.
None of the three spoke, and the entire box was filled with the sound of impatient chewing.
After a while, the three of them slowed down their eating speed. They were all a little shy. It was because the food cooked by the chef was so delicious. Several people completely forgot that they were artists who had to maintain their figure, of course, except for their agent Li Jun.
Now no one said anything to each other. Both of them showed their true selves during the meal, and they felt less unfamiliar with each other.
Before, Song Youyuan liked him, but it was just because she was attracted by his appearance and temperament. That kind of liking was too superficial.
She had originally thought he was a gentleman, aloof, and noble, but she hadn't expected him to have such a lovely side. He would also eat too much because of delicious food, and suddenly she felt like a god descending to earth.
It’s broken, it feels more like a boyfriend!
Li Linghe now completely understood that she was not playing with him. It was not that he looked down on her, but that she really did not have the skills.
She is so simple!
So simple that you can see through it at a glance.
The three of them were too silent, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Li Jun had to step forward to create atmosphere while feeling relieved.
He began to chat with Li Linghe.
