305 Who is your male lead? (1/2)
”Puh! Darling, I want to spend some lovey-dovey time with you alone today. Let's leave meeting mother-in-law to after we are done with our intimate exchange!” Tang Xiaoyu held Pei Ge's hands and declared in a cheesy manner.
At her best friend's antics, Pei Ge laughed so hard she became breathless.
”Moreover, isn't there my favorite sweet corn egg drop soup here?” Tang Xiaoyu cheekily winked upon seeing her laugh uncontrollably.
”That's true. Still, it is somewhat surprising that there is that soup in this Sichuan restaurant,” Pei Ge nodded her head and commented in wonder.
However, when the sweet corn egg drop soup was served subsequently, the two were so stunned their eyes nearly popped out.
”This is sweet corn egg drop soup?” They could not believe that the bowl of black stuff before them was the rumored 'sweet corn egg drop soup'.
”Of course!” the lady boss affirmed.
Tang Xiaoyu's mouth twitched and she looked at her with a face that said, ”Are you kidding me?”
”Then, tell me; where is the sweet corn?”
”Oh, we didn't buy sweet corn today,” the lady boss calmly replied.
With a black face, Tang Xiaoyu nodded her head, tapped the soup with her cutlery, and put some into her mouth. ”Can I please trouble you again into telling me why this soup is salty and spicy?”
”Who says sweet corn egg drop soup can't be salty and spicy?” the lady boss countered.
She acted as if sweet corn egg drop soup were meant to be 'salty' and 'spicy' and not 'sweet'.
”…” Pei Ge: The hell?! Lady boss, you make so much sense that I'm left speechless!
”…” Tang Xiaoyu: This is a f*cking black shop!
”Anyway, you guys ordered this on your accord. Since I've already served it, we won't give any refunds!”
Once the lady boss said these forceful words, Tang Xiaoyu, who had been quite accepting all this while, slapped the table's surface with her palms.
Pak!
”The hell with you?! This is a f*cking black shop! You call this a 'sweet corn egg drop soup'? I think it will become a 'hot and sour soup' if some enoki mushrooms are added in it!” She glared fiercely at the shop owner.
Seeing her best friend flare up, Pei Ge quickly pulled her, ”Xiaoyu, forget it; forget it. Let's just go to another shop.”
She was totally regretting it now. She had previously stood outside this shop's door, so why had she not come inside to have a look?
The chef and male boss, who was in the kitchen, heard the commotion and quickly came out.
”What's happening?”
The boss was from Sichuan. He was probably a little anxious, so he spoke the province's dialect when he came out.
Although the pair of best friends did not speak the dialect, they still understood his words.
”Did you make this soup? How did you even make this? Is this even a 'sweet' soup?!” Tang Xiaoyu quickly berated him.
The male boss's temper was surprisingly mild unlike his wife.
