Chapter 123 Stepping on a Landmine



Liu Yun: "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

Beibei: "Mom, let's go eat at Lao Mo! I've heard my classmates and teachers talk about Lao Mo in Shanghai, but we've never been there before!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun became somewhat interested. She knew about Lao Mo, which was a Western restaurant, and she had never been to one before! She wanted to try what a Western restaurant had to offer; she had only ever eaten street-side steak at the night market.

Looking at Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, she asked, "Where are you two?"

Tuantuan: "I also want to go and see Old Mo."

Yuanyuan: "I want to go too."

Mother Yu: "Anyway, we're dressed appropriately now, so let's take them to see them!"

Liu Yun: "Okay, let's go to Lao Mo then."

When Liu Yun arrived at the Western restaurant, she felt as if she had instantly traveled back to the year 2000. However, considering that many people online had complained about white food, Liu Yun still hesitated.

The triplets ordered a medium-rare steak, creamed mixed vegetables, and butter-fried sea bass. They also ordered a creamy matsutake mushroom soup and a borscht for the twins.

Yu Qian frowned slightly after seeing the three of them order food. Liu Yun noticed this and felt that the triplets were in trouble and might make a mistake.

However, An'an and Dangdang do praise and trust their older brother and sister very much.

Unlike the triplets, she didn't dare to try anything bold; she only ordered one steak, well-done, hoping not to make a bad choice.

The dishes were served quickly, with borscht being the first to be served. The family didn't make a fuss like others, just eating as usual at home.

However, the triplets froze simultaneously after taking one bite, and Liu Yun knew from their expressions that she had stepped on a landmine.

Dangdang was unhappy when she saw her older brother and sister eat without saying anything. "Sister, is it delicious? I want to try some too."

An'an: "I want one too."

Beibei: "Eat, eat, there's plenty, it's all for you, no one will take it from you."

The two of them took a big bite.

Dangdang: "yue"

Seeing this, Liu Yun couldn't help but laugh.

Not only Liu Yun, but Yu Qian and his parents also laughed.

Liu Yun was still very curious, "Is it really that bad?"

An'an looked at Dangdang strangely, "Is it really that bad? I think it's alright! It's sweet and sour, why is it so exaggerated?"

Dangdang immediately objected, "What's so delicious about it? It's too sour and too sweet! What kind of soup is sour and sweet?"

Beibei immediately agreed, "I can't stand sweet and sour soup either."

Tuantuan: "I don't like it either."

Yuanyuan: "I prefer salty to sweet and sour, but spicy is also okay."

An'an: "But I think the sweet and sour taste is okay! It's just a little too sweet. It would be better if it were a little less sweet."

Liu Yun realized that it was now a debate between sweet and savory, but she didn't plan to join in, even though she was a savory supporter.

Beibei: "Grandpa and Grandma, do you want to give it a try?"

Seeing how much the others were criticizing the food, Yu's mother was also curious and said, "I'll try it."

Mr. and Mrs. Yu took a spoonful and tasted it. Mrs. Yu frowned immediately, and although Mr. Yu didn't say anything, it was clear from the spoon that he didn't like the taste.

Beibei: "Dad, Mom, do you want to give it a try?"

Yu Qianhe: "I don't want it."

Liu Yun: "There's absolutely no need for that."

So Beibei pushed the bowl directly in front of An'an: "If you like it, then you can eat it all!"

Hearing this, An'an shook her head and refused, "No, it's too sweet, I don't like it either. I didn't say I liked it, I just said it's okay and not bad."

Beibei: "Then what should we do? Who will eat it? We can't let it go to waste!"

Yu Qianhe: "Just leave it there! It's fine."

Beibei: "Okay!"

Next up are a few people who are unfamiliar with Western food but like salty and spicy food, and they make a lot of mistakes at Western restaurants.

Liu Yun was alright; although her steak was a bit bland, at least it was cooked through and tasted okay.

Unlike Beibei, which has blood visible when cut open, I didn't eat it at all.

As expected, the group left the Western restaurant still hungry.

Liu Yun: "What would you like to eat next?"

Beibei: "Coffee, coffee. They all say you can only get it in Shanghai."

Liu Yun was a little reluctant when she heard this. Was she going to be stuck with stepping on landmines today?

"What about you two? Are you going too?"

Tuan Tuan/Yuan Yuan: "Go."

Liu Yun: "Let's go then!"

Upon arriving at the coffee shop, Liu Yun immediately started adding milk and sugar, while the triplets, who all had a sweet tooth, didn't add anything. For some reason, the twins, despite having just made such a mistake, still blindly admired their older siblings and imitated them.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qianhe quickly ordered a lot of small cakes.

The five of them immediately lit up.

Beibei: "It smells so good! Now there won't be any mistakes."

An'an and Dangdang nodded their heads vigorously upon hearing this.

After cooling it down a bit, several people couldn't resist taking a bite.

An'an: "Ugh~"

Dingdang: "Hoo~"

Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Beibei also looked quite upset, but the three of them were too proud to spit it out like the twins.

Seeing the five of them, Liu Yun couldn't help herself and, afraid of disturbing others, she leaned on the table and chuckled softly.

Yu Qianhe: "Come on, have a small cake to cleanse your mouth, this is pretty good."

Although the five trusted their father, they still took a small bite first to try it. They found the taste to be quite good before eating it in large bites. However, the taste in their mouths was too strange and they couldn't stand it, so they asked for something to calm their palates.

Seeing the five people's expressions, Yu's parents also tried it out of curiosity, and both of them frowned as they drank it.
