At the dinner table, He Jing and the others were enjoying their meal immensely. Their expressions, actions, and mannerisms clearly indicated that they were thoroughly enjoying a feast. He Ning's eating habits were alright; she remained calm, composed, and unperturbed. However, He Sui and He Xiaoguo were a complete disaster.
He Sui, in particular, would pick up a piece of meat, first commenting on its luster and then on its aroma, before finally munching on it with a "whoosh" and smacking his lips.
He Xiaoguo slurped her soup loudly, and after finishing, she tapped the bowl with her spoon and said, "I want more."
He Zhou, who was sitting next to him, immediately poured him another bowl.
He Zhou, who always wore a forced smile and had a two-faced, devilish expression, was now smiling genuinely, with fine lines appearing on his brows and around his eyes.
He Yi and He Chen look normal from the back, since you can't see their faces.
Of course, only He Yuan, who was sitting opposite them, knew how happy they were. He Yi's lips curled up slightly, and He Chen's gentle face was so sunny that it seemed like a flower was about to bloom.
He Jing served them food one by one, and Tian Tian said, "Brothers, eat."
The siblings were all enjoying themselves immensely, it couldn't be more pleasant.
The aroma wafted continuously, filling the entire living room and imbuing everything with the scent of food. Only then did Zhu Qiang, Zhu Qian, and Zhu Rui truly appreciate the taste Zhu Lizhen had just experienced.
I'm so hungry.
I'm so hungry.
Zhu Rui couldn't help but lick the area around his lips.
Zhu Qian stared intently at the meat on He Jing's chopsticks, her mouth watering.
Zhu Qiang appeared calm on the surface, but his craving was no less than that of the two children. He wanted to think about how to negotiate with He Jing, but his thoughts were completely disjointed.
Needless to say, Qian Lizhen was so hungry that she kept spitting out food, almost drowning out the sounds of people eating over there.
Zhu Qian could no longer bear it: "Dad, let's go."
Zhu Qiang snapped out of his daze and whispered a warning: "No, we have to wait until they finish eating."
How could he discuss the recipe with He Jing if he didn't finish eating it?
Qian Lizhen coaxed, "Be good, sit patiently for a while. When your dad finishes his business, Mom will give you a cake from Xisenfang."
But she didn't want to eat Xisenfang's cake!
She wanted to eat the dishes He Jing cooked.
Zhu Qian clenched her fists. She could tell that He Jing was deliberately trying to tempt them, taking so long to finish eating after an hour.
Little did she know that He Jing was really keeping them hanging. Seeing that the group was getting more and more irritable and impatient, Zhu Qiang even stood up from the sofa, wanting to leave. Only then did He Jing slowly put down her chopsticks and say, "Uncle, I'm full."
Zhu Qiang let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said insincerely, "Are you full? Have some water. Uncle, don't worry, we can talk about it later."
He Jing smiled sweetly: "Uncle is here because of business, right? Although I don't know why Xiao Lin's food stall makes such delicious barbecue, I have some experience in cooking and can help you, Uncle."
Zhu Qian laughed angrily: "What help? It was clearly your doing that caused the trouble at Xiao Lin's food stall."
He Jing tilted her head, her face showing confusion, as if she had a lot of questions.
Qian Lizhen then remembered that He Jing herself had never admitted to the matter of Xiao Lin's food stall, so no matter where she went to complain, she would have no legitimate grounds.
What a deep scheme!
She's only eighteen!
Zhu Qiang didn't care whether He Jingcheng admitted it or not; he just wanted to solve the problem. He said repeatedly, "It's great that Jingjing is willing to help. When is Jingjing going to her uncle's place?"
He Jing playfully raised her index finger: "Anytime is fine."
