In order to not let the child eat too much sweets, the little boy's mother only allowed him to eat one at a time and put the rest away.

The little boy pushed all the cake crumbs on his lips into his mouth, not wanting to wipe them off. When he heard his father's words, he nodded his head several times in affirmation: "Delicious!"

"It's as delicious as the small cake that Li Ziqi from our class brought back that day. Li Ziqi is usually very generous and always gives snacks and toys to everyone, but that day he was so stingy that he only gave us a little bit of the small cake he brought back with him."

The little boy raised his arm and drew a huge circle, then stretched out his little finger and pinched off half of it to gesture, which shows that this 'little bit' is really just a little bit.

"Mom, can I have another little cake?"

"no."

"The half?"

“No.”

"One bite, one bite will do!"

Still, my mother refused: "You have eaten enough. You still need to eat later. Be obedient."

"Then why don't we just buy the lunch boxes from the restaurant? That way there will be more free cakes." The little boy only had the delicious cakes in his eyes.

Then my father tapped my forehead: "Your mother wants to go to another restaurant to eat delicious food."

So, this is why, after hearing that suggestion just now, they still insisted on buying king crabs instead of lunch boxes. King crabs can be eaten as a dish, and they won’t eat lunch boxes, so isn’t it a waste? Lin Xue’s restaurant is not far from the central street, and it can be reached by walking for a while.

The family of three was warmly welcomed as soon as they entered the door.

When the woman saw it was Lin Xue, she greeted him excitedly and said that she often watched Lin Xue’s food shows. This was the first time she had met Lin Xue in real life and she was very happy.

Lin Xue naturally responded with a smile and immediately asked them to sit down.

It was almost time for dinner, and one-third of Lin Xue's restaurant was occupied. The family of three chose a seat that suited their taste.

As soon as they sat down, the menu was handed to the woman.

After about four or five minutes, the woman finished ordering the dishes needed for two adults and a child. She looked up at Lin Xue and spoke as if to make a request: "It's like this, Xiaoxue, I've always wanted to try the secret dipping sauce you made. Mainly because I saw it on the show and I was so greedy, but I didn't see it on your restaurant menu. Can you add this to the menu..."

Hearing this, Lin Xue was stunned for two seconds, then laughed and said, "This, haha, it's so sudden, it's quite temporary, let me think——"

"Well, all the necessary materials are available. Okay, I'll prepare one for you."

The woman was surprised: "Okay, thank you so much."

“You’re welcome.”

“…”

Probably because it was really as Lin Xue said, when the emergency came, the family of three had almost finished half of their meal, and the secret dipping sauce had not arrived yet.

At this time, a man who looked familiar and had been seen on TV came over. He seemed to be the owner of this restaurant and a male star who had recorded a show with Lin Xue. He said in a gentle voice, "Hello, there is a self-service ice cream area over there. It is free and there are many flavors to choose from."

The husband next to the woman said, "Honey, do you want to go and have a look? You love ice cream the most."

The woman nodded. It was just right. She went to get two servings while waiting for the secret dipping sauce. She wanted to bring her son along, but her son, who usually treated her and the ice cream as close as brothers and couldn't bear to be apart from them for a moment, gnawed on the ribs and pouted his mouth in rejection: "No."

The young couple left their seats in shock: "Then you stay here by yourself."

“…”

As soon as mom and dad left, the little boy threw the ribs in his hand into the plate with a 'pop' sound. His little claws reached out to the wrapping paper bag on the seat. His mom had put the rest of the cakes in it!

Just as I was about to untie the glued paper bag—

"The dipping sauce is ready."

The little boy was startled and sat up straight reflexively: "I didn't steal the cake!"

Lin Xue was puzzled: "What small cake?"

Seeing that it wasn't his mother, the little boy breathed a sigh of relief and stiffened his neck: "Nothing."

Lin Xue didn't understand and shook her head in amusement: "Little boy, tell your mother later that the dipping sauce is here."

"Oh, thank you."

As soon as Lin Xue left, the little boy's cold expression immediately disappeared, and his desire to eat the delicious cake started again. He couldn't wait to open a small hole in the paper bag.

There was limited space, and he didn't dare to make too much noise for fear of being seen by his mother. He just had to grab things blindly through the bag. He took them out immediately after he touched them. But his joy turned into disappointment. Why wasn't it his cake? He put the thing in his hand on the table and continued to touch his cake.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. This time, she finally found it. - The young couple returned to their seats with two ice creams in their hands. Seeing that their son was really obedient and holding his bowl, the woman put an ice cream in front of her son, intending to give it as a reward.

As a result, the son pushed his hand away and said, "No, Mommy eats it yourself."

Hey, the sun really rose from the west today. The couple was extremely surprised, and then they sighed that the child was really starting to grow up. They forgot a saying: if the child is quiet, he is either making trouble or has finished making trouble.

Little did they know that while they were away, their good son had secretly finished all five small cakes, and it would be a miracle if he could still eat the ice cream.

"Oh, the dipping sauce is here." The woman then noticed that there were already two small transparent plastic boxes, the size of two-thirds of a palm, on the table. Inside were sauce-colored dipping sauces with various condiments added. The kind that would increase your appetite at first glance.

"Honey, take out the king crab and eat it."

This is why the woman only asked for the king crab to be steamed. She had already thought about packing the king crabs and then coming to Lin Xue's restaurant to eat the king crab meat with a secret dipping sauce.

Before the man put down his chopsticks.

"Dad, let me do it! I'll get the king crab for Mom!"

The woman was stunned again, and then smiled with relief: "Oh, my good son has really grown up. Okay, you can give it to mommy."

“…”

Both dip boxes were uncovered.
