Lan Jingyan's mother often eats at this restaurant, whether she's dining in or ordering takeout.
How did you find out about this place? Do you like to eat here too?
Yan Xiluo looked at the snail rice noodle shop with surprise and delight. It was her favorite shop since she was a child!
This lady has been running her business in City A for over ten years.
“I’m not a big fan of this food, but my mom is, and she only eats at this restaurant. That’s why I brought you here.”
Moreover... he really doesn't know where else there are snail rice noodle shops besides this one.
"So Auntie likes to eat this too! We have the same hobby!"
Will this make it easier for him to get along with his mother in the future?
"Hehe, yes, I reckon from now on it will just be the two of you eating snail rice noodles at home."
He looked at Yan Xiluo with doting eyes, ordered noodles for her, and even added some other dishes.
"Why just the two of us? Aren't you going to eat?"
It tastes really good!
“I don’t like it that much, but I don’t hate it either. But my dad is very resistant to it. He says the pickled bamboo shoots inside smell bad.”
Lan Jingyan could almost picture the look on his father's face when he was a child, disgusted by the pickled bamboo shoots in snail rice noodles, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It tastes delicious, not smelly! And that's the soul of snail rice noodles!"
Yan Xiluo sighed that they didn't know how to eat.
"Luo Luo, it's been a while since you last visited. Have you been very busy lately?"
She's been eating at this restaurant for over a decade, and she and the auntie have become very close and have a good relationship.
"Yes, Auntie. I've been quite busy lately."
As soon as the snail rice noodles arrived, she couldn't help but take a sip of the soup first; the soup was truly the soul of the dish!
"Hehe, I see. You eat first."
The auntie turned around and went back to work. This shop was extremely popular, with a lot of customers.
"good."
Then a waiter brought over all the additional side dishes.
"Ayan, you've added so much food, can we finish it all?"
Looking at the dishes in front of me... fried tofu, fried eggs, snail meat, braised eggs, pig's trotters, pig intestines...
Is he feeding the pigs?
"I think you can finish it. Besides, if you can't finish it, I'll take care of you. Don't worry, eat it."
Lan Jingyan looked at the girl in front of him with a smile, and he also took a sip of soup.
Why does this soup taste so good? It's different from before. Did Auntie change the recipe? Lan Jingyan wondered.
"good."
After that, Yan Xiluo didn't say anything, but lowered her head and quickly slurped up all the snail rice noodles, and also ate some vegetables.
She didn't leave a single drop of soup.
"You finished eating so quickly?"
Because Lan Jingyan was wearing a white shirt underneath, he ate very carefully, afraid of getting the red chili oil on his clothes.
"Mmm, Ah Yan, take your time eating."
Yan Xiluo wiped her mouth lightly, then remembered that she hadn't told her family about her departure, so she sent a message to her family in the family group chat.
Lan Jingyan couldn't eat fast, so she could only eat slowly.
At this time, there were fewer customers in the store, and the auntie had some free time.
"Luo Luo, is this handsome young man your boyfriend? This is the first time I've seen you bring a boy to my place for snail rice noodles."
The aunt's gaze remained fixed on Lan Jingyan, sizing him up. Hmm! He looks quite handsome, and he and Luo Luo look very well-matched!
"Auntie, this is my fiancé."
The aunt was very kind. Whenever Yan Xiluo ordered a lot of food, the aunt would add more dishes for her. She didn't shy away from the topic and openly told him about her relationship with Lan Jingyan.
"Oh? You've been away for a while and already have a fiancé? Congratulations, Luo Luo! This meal is on me today, you've been my customer for over ten years!"
The aunt watched Yan Xiluo grow up and was naturally happy for her from the bottom of her heart. Every time she added food for her, Yan Xiluo would bring her fruit or milk the next time she came.
Their love is mutual, which is very heartwarming.
"Okay! Thank you so much, Auntie! You'll have to come to our wedding banquet!"
Yan Xiluo knew her feelings and didn't refuse. Next time she came, she could just bring a gift to return to her aunt.
"Okay! Okay! Auntie will go ahead and get busy now."
Then a lot of customers came in, and the auntie had to hurry up and cook the rice noodles.
Hearing Yan Xiluo say that, Lan Jingyan was overjoyed. She said that if her aunt could attend their wedding banquet, Luoluo would be willing to marry him.
Lan Jingyan wore a worthless smile.
"We're done eating, shall we go? I'll take you home."
Lan Jingyan thought the snail rice noodles tasted especially good tonight. Like Yan Xiluo, she didn't leave a drop of soup and ate all the extra vegetables.
"good."
Lan Jingyan smiled as she looked at the CD.
At the entrance of the Yan family villa.
"Luo Luo, it's so late, I won't go in. It's chilly outside, you should go inside quickly."
It was too late for him to go in and disturb them.
"Okay, let me know when you get home!"
Yan Xiluo walked into the villa, glancing back every now and then.
Lan Jingyan saw her turn around and continued to wave to her, signaling her to go inside quickly.
He watched her enter the gate before starting the car and leaving the Yan family villa.
As soon as she entered the house, her family members were already sitting neatly in the living room, waiting for her.
Everyone was excited about her identity tonight.
"My darling Luo Luo, you're finally back!"
Li Shuwen got up and was about to run over to hug Yan Xiluo.
As soon as I got close to her, I could smell a familiar scent.
She leaned closer to Yan Xiluo's clothes and sniffed them hard.
"Luo Luo, my darling! Did you just come back from eating snail rice noodles?!"
With her love for snail rice noodles, she can smell it just by smelling it!
They hadn't eaten this for a long time and were worried that Yan Xiluo wouldn't like it, so they didn't dare to eat it at home for fear of the strong smell.
"Um...is the smell that strong?"
Oh no, did Mom not like it? I forgot to change my clothes before coming back...
"It smells so good, I could tell right away! So Luo Luo eats snail rice noodles too? If we had known, we wouldn't have had to suffer like this!"
Li Shuwen was both excited and sighing, realizing she had never asked before.
"Does everyone like to eat this?"
The seven people on the sofa nodded frantically. Although Yan Yinran was not a biological daughter of the Yan family, she loved to eat!
"Hehe, I initially thought nobody liked it, and I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it, so I haven't eaten it in a long time either. I secretly went and ate it tonight..."
That's true. I didn't ask myself, but I figured most people don't like it and think pickled bamboo shoots are smelly, so I figured my family probably wouldn't like it either.
After all, they have all sorts of delicacies at home, so they shouldn't lack food.
"We all love it, and now we can finally enjoy snail rice noodles together happily!"
Yan Youting also loves to eat, but he can't eat very spicy food.
"The smell makes me hungry! I can't take it! I'm ordering takeout! Anyone want some food, raise your hand!"
Yan Yixing immediately opened the food ordering app on her phone to order food.
Of course, everyone except Yan Xiluo raised their hands, since she was already full!
"That's eight portions, little sister. You can eat some fruit later to help with digestion."
Yan Yuze counted the heads and reported them to Yan Yixing.
He didn't forget to go to the kitchen to prepare a fruit platter for Yan Xiluo.
