Tan Rou pushed Zhuang Liu to the restaurant she had chosen. It was also a good home-cooked restaurant that she had been looking for for a long time. She had been eating exotic food for a long time, so she would occasionally change her taste.
âThis restaurantâs dishes are pretty good. Stir-fried beef, secret-made sea bass, and three fresh mushroom soup are all signature dishes. Hereâs the menu, what else do you want to order?â Tan Rou handed the menu to Zhuang Liu.
Zhuang Liu glanced at the menu and then gave it to Tan Rou. âYou can order. Iâm fine with anything.â
âIâm treating you to a meal today, so you have to order.â Tan Rou insisted.
âAlright,â he said. Zhuang Liu took the menu and looked at it as if he was analyzing a report. âThe stir-fried beef is spicy, the secret-made sea bass is delicious, and the three fresh mushrooms soup is hot. Why donât we order stir-fry vegetables and a cold dish? â
âI think thatâs good fine. How about Osmanthus Water Chestnut?â Tan Rou asked.
âOsmanthus what?â Zhuang Liuâs eyes twitched. âThis⌠Itâs written horse hooves here. Isnât there going to be a bloody smell?â
Tan Rou was stunned. âHuh? Why would it?â
âTo tell you the truth, I havenât eaten horse hooves yet, nor have I eaten horse meat.â Zhuang Liu quickly confessed.
Tan Rou was stunned for a moment and suddenly laughed. âMy third young master Zhuang, itâs not actual horse hooves. The scientific name is water chestnut. Look at the menu. Isnât it Osmanthus Water Chestnut?â
After listening to her, Zhuang Liu carefully searched the menu and found that the Osmanthus Water Chestnut was a dessert.
âIâve never eaten such things. Iâm sorry.â Zhuang Liu said, feeling embarrassed.
âIâm sorry, I didnât think it through. I thought you would know.â Tan Rou apologized. âBut, Iâm not surprised. Third young master probably hasnât seen such cheap dishes in the past.â
âItâs true that I have not seen them.â Zhuang Liu answered honestly.
âThird young master, youâd better have a good taste today.â Tan Rou ordered an ice-cold one.
While waiting for the dishes, Zhuang Liu crazily read up on plants to prevent Tan Rou from saying something he didnât know.
âHello, this is the stir-fried beef you ordered.â A good-looking waitress came in with the dishes. After she came in, her eyes followed Zhuang Liu without moving.
âThere are still a few more dishes. Hurry up and serve them.â Tan Rou said so to chase them out quickly.
However, the waiter did not seem to hear her. âIf you are not satisfied with the food, you must call me. The principle of our restaurant is to let our customers enjoy themselves.â
Tan Rou asked her to go out again. âI donât need you to introduce your restaurant. I just need you to serve the dishes quickly.â
Hearing her words, the waiter did not want to stay any longer.
âYes, Madam.â
Since the dishes were not yet served, the two of them decided to wait. Anyway, the weather was hot, and they were not afraid that the dishes would turn cold.
The next second, another beautiful waitress came in with another dish. âThis is the three fresh mushroom soup you ordered. Please enjoy.â
âJust leave it here.â
However, the waiter still brought the dishes to Zhuang Liu. However, Zhuang Liu didnât even look at her. His attention was only on Tan Rou.â
The third dish was served by a different waiter, which made Tan Rou very angry. âWe ordered a total of five dishes. Are you going to serve them in five batches?â
âItâs not ready yetâŚâ The waiter explained in an embarrassed voice.
âThen bring them in together.â Zhuang Liu looked displeased. âYouâre doing so many extra things here and there. Are you still trying to run a business here?â He hated employees who dragged their feet the most. If they were from his company, he would have fired them already.
âIâm sorry!â The waiter trotted out after putting down the dishes.
On the last trip, the dishes were served.
Tan Rou knew clearly what was going on. These waiters simply wanted to look at Zhuang Liu because he was handsome. Can Zhuang Liu be someone you take turns to look at?
A good meal had been ruined. Fortunately, the dishes werenât bad. Otherwise, she would have to talk to the boss. It was just that the desserts werenât satisfying.
âThis restaurant doesnât seem to be good at making desserts.â After tasting the sweet-scented Osmanthus Water Chestnut, Tan Rou commented, âThe fragrance is too strong and it destroys the natural fragrance of the water chestnut. Moreover, it has been cooked for too long, so the water chestnut is not crisp enough. The sweetness is moderate but thereâs too many flaws. Itâs hard to ignore them.â
It was Zhuang Liuâs first time eating it, so he didnât know what the others tasted like. He thought it was okay, but if Xiao Rou said it was not good, then it was not.
âYes, itâs indeed a little lacking.â Zhuang Liu commented.
âIf thereâs a chance in the future, Iâll cook for you. I guarantee itâll taste better than this.â
Zhuang Liuâs heart was filled with sweetness. âSure, Iâll eat whatever you make.â
