That lance, dawdled down the stool and then slowly climbed down the table “We will end here today”
The restless crowd let out a collective sigh of liberation
“As usual, those who aren't et out” That man ambled into the kitchen as he continued, “Otherwise… I'll make you vomit it out”
Meng Fuyao, as sipping her tea, spurted it out Zhangsun Wuji s Fuyao turned back with teary eyes and said, “Why is this dude so grumpy…”
Even though this gruh on the exterior, his dishes were indeed unrivaled Meng Fuyao sat in the cabin, shed “How fragrant!”
“He just started the fire,” a customer beside her commented unnecessarily
“It's done! It's done!” Meng Fuyao exclai eyes after a moment
“He just put in some condiments” Another customer acted as a wet blanket
After a whileFuyao climbed onto the stool and looked around The customers below shushed her uniformly “Calm down, he only just put the fish in the pot!”
Meng Fuyao, thoroughly and utterly tortured by therestlessly in her seat, seriously considering the idea of deploying 3,000 here to help the chef cook Suddenly, the curtain at the end of the cabin flung open, and a pleasant-looking girl brought out the dishes, serving to every customer With a melodious voice, she announced, “First dish, Mandarin Duck1 Fish”
Meng Fuyao heard the name and pouted “How lame!”
But the aroma, the presentation, and the taste were its complete opposite—absolutely refined The meat of the fish was soft, flaky, and tender A translucent, light yellow skin gently wrapped around it The pale yellow fish contrasted beautifully with the white jade plate, surrounded by that savory, hearty and warm broth That broth looked plain and clear yet, the aroht into it
Meng Fuyao pounced forward and skillfullythe fish into halves “Half each!”
The girl made her way over and re of food, please share it”
Meng Fuyao looked around and noticed that the surrounding couples were eating with their heads to heads 'Urgh, such public display of affection No wonder he requested for couples only,' Meng Fuyao thought, slightly disgusted
“This dish has two rant taste to it while the middle has a flavorful bite” The chef appeared at the cabin's entrance with a ladle in his hand “Coupleseach other as you eat When you two initiallyBut as the two of you get to know each other and spend happy, me to do with each other, are now being bound by love and fate The two of you noalk down the sah and happy times”
He glanced at Meng Fuyao in disgust “If you don't understand ful delicacies”
Meng Fuyao mumbled under her breathe, “What's with all these dumb rules!”
Zhangsun Wuji, however, had already started eating They each occupied one end of the table He sreat rules ”
Meng Fuyao was annoyed but could not resist the te in, albeit a little unwillingly The more she ate, theon the tip of her tongue Really, how did this guy make this fish taste this fresh and this juicy! As they chomp their way to the center of the fish, the tip of their noses al,' she felt that there was so Fuyao picked it up and noticed it was a white, pearl-like fishball
“Yay, we ed to find the Double Happiness Fishball!” The surrounding couples cheered
The chef yelled, “Whoever picked it up, bite half of it and give it to the other party!”
Meng Fuyao exploded In a fit of rage, she quit listening to the chef “What a miser, can't you afford two fishballs?”
“Fishballs?” The chef looked at her with contempt He crossed his arlared at hiritted her teeth The lady at the next table smiled “Miss, you may not have known this, but this is no ordinary fishball This fishball was olden river As it often traverses large distances, thefishballs However, as the golden river is too far away, only one in a million survive the journey It is already a feat that they can serve one fishball per table Even this one single fishball costs 100 tales”
Meng Fuyao rubbed her nose in chagrin “Country bumpkin seethed the chef”
Meng bumpkin had no choice but to push the fishball across the table She sed her saliva and told Zhangsun Wuji, “You can have it”
Despite her sacrifice, the chef refused to let it go, yelling, “Share! Share! Are y'all posing as a couple?”
“So what if we are?” Meng Fuyao leaped up and rolled up her sleeves “What can you do to me?”
The chef didn't respond but pointed to a sign near the cabin door Meng Fuyao then saw that it wrote: “Those that impersonate couples, please strip and swim back to shore nude”
“Ahh… Why did you not resun Wuji The boat was smack in the middle of the wide river To swim back would be too pitiful
“It's alright” Zhangsun Wuji smiled “I feel that no matter what happens, I won't lose out” He picked up the fishball and asked, “Why do you have to entertain him? Just eat the fishball, and the probleently, and conveniently fed the other half to Meng Fuyao, who had opened her mouth to lecture him
Meng Fuyao: “…”
Zhangsun Wuji savored the food, nodded, and went back to sipping his tea “Hreat taste,” he coently patted the back of her neck With much commiseration, he asked, “Did you choke?” He tried to help her breath again as he continued, “Don't be too agitated”
Teary-eyed Meng Fuyao: “…”
