Chapter 005 Let’s go eat together
After sending the message, Butler Lin put down his phone.
Mr. Gu, who was far away abroad, opened his phone and saw the message and Yanyan's photo. He subconsciously imagined what Xie Luoshu would look like after wearing it.
I think it's a good match.
Here, Xie Luoshu prepared himself and put on a big dinosaur jumpsuit. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the little cub wearing a small dinosaur jumpsuit. The little cub was standing by the door. When he saw Xie Luoshu coming out, Yanyan looked up at him.
[Whose cute baby is this? It’s mine! ]
Yanyan reached out and grabbed Xie Luoshu's giant dinosaur jumpsuit.
The stepdad looks pretty cute in this outfit. But not as cute as the baby, hehe.
"I'm done. I'm going to change." Xie Luoshu wanted to leave, but Yanyan held on to his clothes and wouldn't let go.
[No, that won’t happen…]
"I think the kid wants to go shopping with his dad in parent-child outfits." Li Zimeng said, "This outfit is very suitable for the gentleman."
Li Zimeng appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually screaming inside.
[Ahhh, Xie Luoshu looks so good in this dress! ]
But what does it mean? Does it mean cute? Yes, I think so too.
Xie Luoshu's skin is white, and the dinosaur jumpsuit is dark green, which makes his skin look even whiter. Unlike the chubby Yanyan, Xie Luoshu has a slim figure and does not look as round as Yanyan. But this fluffy outfit makes Xie Luoshu look very gentle. And with Xie Luoshu's face.
[Isn’t this a male mother? ] Li Zimeng said.
Male mother? No, this is Zaizai's stepfather, not a male mother. Zaizai is angry.
Yanyan suddenly buried her face in Xie Luoshu's clothes. The material of the big dinosaur jumpsuit was the same as the small dinosaur jumpsuit, very soft. Yanyan subconsciously rubbed it twice.
Xie Luoshu was flattered and coughed lightly: "Since you want to wear it, then wear it."
After saying that, Xie Luoshu picked up the baby. Yanyan buried her little face in Xie Luoshu's neck, and the cotton-like touch made Yanyan squint her eyes comfortably.
The hood of Shero's big dinosaur jumpsuit has a dorsal fin of a dinosaur. The baby looked at the decoration that swayed from side to side as he walked, and stretched out his claws to grab it.
Then, Xie Luoshu took Yanyan to several stores and bought several sets of sweatshirts and trousers. He also bought short-sleeved shirts and shorts for summer and cotton-padded jackets and trousers for winter.
Xie Luoshu also bought a few sets for himself, and both his and Yanyan's were parent-child outfits. There was no way, Xie Luoshu really didn't want to wear the original owner's clothes.
Xie Luoshu wanted to take Yanyan shopping. It was the first time Xie Luoshu found that he liked shopping, and changing clothes for the baby was so much fun. He treated Yanyan as a miracle baby, and put all kinds of clothes on Yanyan. Basically, Xie Luoshu bought all the clothes Yanyan wore.
Of course, it is the general purchase order that is recorded in the general ledger.
After all, he was buying clothes for his wife and children, so Mr. Gu shouldn't be stingy with so much money. Xie Luoshu comforted himself while shopping.
However, Yanyan was a little tired. Her stomach was growling. Xie Luoshu didn't hear it at first.
Yanyan had a stern face and slapped Xie Luoshu's face with her two little hands.
Xie Luoshu was puzzled: "What's wrong, kid?"
Then Xie Luoshu heard the sound of Yanyan's stomach, and Xie Luoshu couldn't help laughing: "Oh, it's the baby who is hungry."
Seeing Xie Luoshu laughing at her, Yanyan hugged her arms.
Humph, why is my stepfather laughing at me? Blame it on my stepfather.
It was time to go. To be honest, every time Xie Luoshu entered a store, he could see the employees’ faces trying to hold back their smiles. Later, he even saw the employees’ eyes shining with anticipation.
Xie Luoshu suspected that they had a work group and the news spread in the group.
"Let's go to the fourth floor." Xie Luoshu said to Butler Lin, "Are there any good restaurants on the fourth floor?"
"The young master drank a lot of cream mushroom soup from the Cat House Western Restaurant last time." Butler Lin said truthfully.
"Then let's go to this store." Xie Luoshu said.
The food and beverage area on the fourth floor of the mall is divided into two sides. One side is hot pot, barbecue and self-service stores, and the other side is Western restaurants, private houses, dessert shops and the like.
This cat house western restaurant is in a good location, close to the inside, with a fresh and quiet environment.
"Welcome." The waiter at the door recognized Yan Yan and Butler Lin at a glance, and also guessed Xie Luoshu's identity, "Please follow me."
"Yeah." Xie Luoshu nodded.
The waiter took Xie Luoshu upstairs, where transparent French windows were used for 360 degrees. From a high vantage point, one could see the scenery outside. Xie Luoshu's table was also in a good position, facing the river, so he could see the river view and the amusement park across the river.
Xie Luoshu wanted to put Yanyan on the seat, but when he moved, he felt his neck tightened: "Baby, let go, eat first."
Xie Luoshu found that Zizi really liked the big dinosaur jumpsuit he was wearing, and he would grab the small decoration on his hat every time he picked him up.
Only then did Yanyan let go of her hand.
The waiter had already brought the child seat and served the children's tableware. Yanyan sat in the child seat obediently.
"Does Yanyan have any dietary restrictions?" Xie Luoshu asked Steward Lin.
Steward Lin said, "There is nothing to avoid."
Oh, it seems that Zaizai is still not domineering enough.
"Two servings of cream of mushroom soup, one serving of sirloin steak cooked medium rare, one serving of pineapple rice, and one serving of Caesar chicken salad. For dessert, two servings of assorted fruit pudding." Xie Luoshu took the menu from the waiter and said, "How about you, Butler Lin?"
Steward Lin said, "Don't worry about me. Mr. Xie just needs to take care of himself and the young master."
"Okay." Xie Luoshu closed the menu and handed it back to the waiter, "Order these first. Cream of mushroom soup will be served first. Butler Lin, please go and do your own thing."
"Okay." Butler Lin left with interest.
This cat house western restaurant is very efficient. The cream of mushroom soup came out in a short while.
Xie Luoshu poured some into Yanyan's small bowl: "Can you eat it yourself, baby?"
Yanyan picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth.
"You are awesome, kid." Xie Luoshu responded positively.
Xie Luoshu also took a sip. The thick soup slid into his mouth, and the rich milky aroma instantly spread on the tip of his tongue, delicate and mellow. The deliciousness of the mushrooms was even more prominent under the wrapping of the cream. The smooth mushrooms and the dense cream blended with each other, with a rich taste, and the tender shrimps made the taste of the whole bowl of soup even better.
The creamy mushroom soup was served with crispy toasted bread slices.
The freshly baked bread exudes the alluring aroma of bread. The surface is golden and crispy, and it makes a "crunch" sound when you bite it lightly.
Xie Luoshu dipped a slice of bread into the cream mushroom soup. The bread was toasted and had tiny holes on the surface, so the soup soon seeped into the bread. When he bit into it, the bread still had a crispy texture, and the rich soup overflowed.
[No wonder Yanyan likes it, it really tastes good. ]
Yanyan nodded while drinking soup.
The products carefully selected by Zaizai must be of the highest quality.
Xie Luoshu forked a small piece of bread, dipped it in creamy mushroom soup, and fed it to Yanyan.
Yanyan didn't refuse and swallowed it after chewing it.
After a few sips of soup, the sirloin steak came. The best sirloin steak is medium-rare to medium-rare. Xie Luoshu asked for medium-rare, as medium-rare steak would have a trace of blood. Because Yanyan was there, he did not ask for medium-rare.
The steak was fried to perfection, slightly crispy on the outside, exuding an alluring aroma. When you cut it, you can feel the perfect toughness. The inside is pink, but there is no blood.
When the steak is put into the mouth along with the sauce, the rich meaty aroma spreads in the mouth first, pure and overbearing. As you chew, the unique chewiness of sirloin steak gradually emerges, and you can feel the firmness and fullness of the meat with every bite. The rich gravy slowly seeps out and blends with the sauce to create a mellow taste that leaves you with an endless aftertaste.
Yan Yan looked up at Xie Luoshu. Xie Luoshu swallowed the steak in his mouth and said, "Baby, you can't eat it now."
Yanyan pursed her lips.
My stepdad's steak looks delicious. He also said it was delicious. My son also...
Seeing Yanyan's eager eyes, Xie Luoshu said, "Baby's teeth haven't grown well yet, so he can't chew steak, and he might get diarrhea if he eats it."
Three-year-old babies can eat stewed soft beef, but they should not eat steak, especially Xie Luoshu’s, which should be cooked medium rare.
This was also due to his lack of consideration. He hadn't eaten steak for a long time and felt like eating it, so he ordered it.
Just then, the pineapple rice arrived.
Xie Luoshu was sharp-eyed and noticed that there were also beef cubes in the pineapple rice.
Xie Luoshu scooped a spoonful and put it in Yanyan's bowl: "Look, baby, there is meat in the pineapple rice. Let's eat this."
Yan Yan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and eat pineapple rice.
The rice in the pineapple rice is crystal clear, the meat is square, and the pineapple is golden. When you put them in your mouth, the first thing you feel is the refreshing sweetness and slight sourness of the pineapple, and the sweet and sour taste instantly awakens your taste buds. The softness of the rice and the crispness of the pineapple complement each other, the juice of the pineapple permeates the rice, and the beef is soft and chewy. It is not abrupt, but makes the whole bowl of rice richer.
The beef in the pineapple rice was very chewy. Xie Luoshu picked out several pieces and put them on Yanyan's small plate.
The food at the Cat House is just like any other Western restaurant. Although the food is delicious, the portions are not big. Fortunately, Xie Luoshu had the foresight to order the Caesar chicken salad.
The fried garlic toast is crispy and fragrant. After frying the bacon, the chicken is fried in the oil from the bacon. The fried chicken is also fragrant. It is matched with boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes and romaine lettuce. Finally, pour the special Caesar sauce on it and sprinkle with ground black pepper.
Xie Luoshu likes this Caesar chicken salad very much, but Yanyan doesn’t like the garlic flavor of the toast cubes, nor does she like eating boiled eggs.
Children are like this, they probably can't stand the strange smell. Xie Luoshu fed the baby some bacon and chicken.
And Yanyan actually likes cherry tomatoes, so Xie Luoshu picked out all the cherry tomatoes for Yanyan.
After the main course, assorted fruit puddings were served. Yanyan really didn't have any dietary restrictions, but she was a picky eater.
I ate the strawberries, oranges, and peaches, but left the mangoes, blueberries, and mulberries untouched and thrown them aside.
Xie Luoshu couldn't bear to see the food wasted, so even though he was full, he still ate all that Yanyan left.
[Zizi has no dietary restrictions, but he is a bit picky about food. After all, he is the son of a domineering president, so it’s okay for him to be a bit picky about food.]
Domineering president, are you talking about dad?
Yanyan eats very cleanly, but there is some sauce on the corner of his mouth. He wipes it off and becomes a clean child again.
