After all these years with you, don't you know your subordinates can't eat spicy food?
Can't you tell me whether your young master can eat spicy food or not? Do you think you're the only one with a mouth? Ignoring this overly clever and considerate subordinate, Murong Jing picked up his chopsticks and started eating noodles.
"Wow, this braised noodle soup is delicious! The noodles are chewy, and the lamb inside is tender and flavorful," Hong Xiaoduo commented after taking a few bites.
Upon hearing this, Fan Wu took the serving chopsticks from the table, picked up the mutton from his bowl, and put it into Hong Xiaoduo's bowl.
He didn't think much of it, just that Little Duo liked to eat it, so he gave it to her.
Hong Xiaoduo smiled and said thank you, without being polite.
Murong Jing, standing to the side, frowned slightly and beckoned the waiter over.
"What can I do for you, sir?" The waiter was exceptionally enthusiastic towards such a customer.
"Can this mutton be ordered separately? Bring one plate to each table," Murong Jing said.
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment." The waiter replied loudly and left.
Hmm? It seems Brother Fan's master quite likes this mutton, and Hong Xiaoduo is quite happy to have gotten a few extra pieces. She glanced at the children at the other tables and saw that some of the attendants were also giving the children some of the mutton from their own bowls.
Hong Xiaoduo was deeply moved. This must be what they mean by birds of a feather flock together. Brother Fan is a good person, his master is a good person, and everyone else around him is also a good person.
Oh, no, except for that guy named Fu Gang.
"Where's Fu Gang? I haven't seen him." Hong Xiaoduo blurted out.
I was wondering what kind of expression that guy would have when he saw me, but I never saw him.
Knocking out a few of his teeth won't affect his ability to work!
Or did they feel awkward knowing they were there, so they didn't come?
"Him? Our young master said he wasn't good at handling things, so he gave him severance pay and sent him back to his hometown," Fan Wu explained, while pondering the expression on his master's face earlier. Why did he seem a little dissatisfied?
Could it be because he also likes the lamb at this restaurant, and he's upset that he didn't think to order some for me?
"You were fired?" Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo glanced at Murong Jing. Could it be because of what happened that day?
“That kind of person really shouldn’t be kept around; their character doesn’t fit with your group.” Hong Xiaoduo felt no guilt whatsoever and actually agreed.
She actually wanted to say that one bad apple spoils the whole bunch, but considering that she was eating right now, she decided not to say it and affect other people's appetites.
"Oh? Miss Hong thinks our group has good character?" Murong Jing put down his chopsticks and asked, looking at the person opposite him.
Hong Xiaoduo blinked: "Could it be... bad?" This person is a bit strange!
"No, does Young Master mean you're so sure?" In the slightly awkward moment, Fan Wu finally said something that satisfied Murong Jing.
Hong Xiaoduo laughed upon hearing this: "Of course, what's so difficult about that? I could tell when you bought my wild game for a hundred taels of silver that day. Besides, you also taught that Fu Gang a lesson back then."
I may be a young woman, but I can tell good from bad.
Hearing her say that, Murong Jing laughed.
She's good-looking, and her smile is even more beautiful.
Murong Jing wasn't the aloof type, but his subordinates had never seen him smile like this before. They couldn't quite put their finger on what was different, but they felt that this smile was different from the ones they had seen before; it was completely different.
Especially since it was because of a young woman he had just met.
"Oh, right, Xiaoduo, let's go buy some cakes and pastries together later. At your pace, we won't find a place to eat until evening," Fan Wu suddenly thought and said.
Hong Xiaoduo glanced at Murong Jing and saw that although he was eating noodles with his head down, he seemed to be listening to what she would say and what her decision would be...
