Wei Zhou took the nu and quickly flipped through a few pages. In the end, he didn’t find anything that he liked to eat. Moreover, there were no pictures on this old-fashioned nu. He didn’t even know what each type of food looked like. What made it the most difficult for him to accept was the grease that had accumulated over the years on the nu. He wanted to chop off his hand to disinfect it after touching it.
After ordering her favorite food and checking with the waiter again, Su Yan realized that Wei Zhou hadn’t ordered anything. Su Yan looked up at the man and said, “Wei Zhou.”
Wei Zhou froze. “What?”
The man’s jet-black eyes stared at her. Su Yan froze. She had been married to this man for three years, but this was the first ti she had seen him looking at her like this.
Su Yan ca back to her senses and let out a heavy breath. She suddenly felt that there was no aning to it, she changed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue and said, “If you really don’t like it, don’t force it. See that alley in front? There’s a hamburger shop across the street. You can go there to eat.”
If she wasn’t mistaken, this was the only thing she said to Wei Zhou after the divorce that didn’t have any anger or hidden aning.
However, when he heard her words, Wei Zhou frowned and said in a sowhat angry tone, “Who told you that I don’t like to eat street food?”
Su Yan opened her mouth and wanted to say sothing, but she held it back. In the first year of their marriage, she once wanted to eat street food, so she sent a ssage to Wei Zhou asking him if he wanted to eat together. However, Wei Zhou told her that things like street stalls were dirty and disgusting. They weren’t ant for people to eat.
Pointing at the nu on the table, Su Yan said, “But you didn’t order anything.”
Wei Zhou replied, “This is my first ti at a street stall.”
Su Yan nodded, then recomnded, “This restaurant is old. The kebabs are excellent. When the boss was young, he even worked as the head chef in a big hotel and he made delicious traditional Chinese dishes. So, you can order any kebabs you want. Every type is delicious. If you want to eat stir-fried dishes, you can eat pot-wrapped at or sweet and sour pork tenderloin. They are the signature dishes here.”
Because Wei Zhou didn’t like sweet things, the stir-fried vegetables and skewers that she recomnded were mostly sweet and sour. Her goal was to drive Wei Zhou away, but she never expected that Wei Zhou actually ordered everything that she said.
The two of them knew each other’s thoughts and each knew the other’s temper, but neither was willing to give in. Judging from the current situation, Su Yan was at a disadvantage and was being outdone by the thick-skinned man.
Soon, a bunch of freshly cooked kebabs were placed on the table. Finally, they were served with two stir-fried dishes, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, as well as two bowls of white rice.
The waiter asked, “Miss, our store has added the Mandarin duck hotpot dish last month. The taste is very good. All kinds of at are also hand-cut. I recomnd you try it.”
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and said in surprise, “Then give one serving of grilled skewers, stir-fried dishes, and hot pot. I didn’t expect that I could enjoy three different delicacies at the sa ti a small restaurant like this. It’s really amazing!”
The waiter smiled and said, “Okay. Please wait a mont, miss. I’ll bring it up for you right away.”
Sure enough, a small copper hot pot was brought to the table a few minutes later. It was her first ti eating such a small hot pot. The scarlet charcoal in the middle of the hot pot was extrely appetitizing.
In fact, what she had ordered before was enough to eat. The reason why she wanted a mandarin duck pot was mainly for Wei Zhou to see. Moreover, she didn’t usually eat spicy food, so the mandarin duck pot was unnecessary.
As she expected, when the hot pot was served, Wei Zhou’s expression couldn’t help but change. Su Yan ignored him and picked up a hand-cut beef roll to cook. At the sa ti, the waiter brought two freshly roasted kebabs. Instantly, the entire space was filled with a fragrant sll. Even if one wasn’t hungry, one would feel tempted.
Looking at Su Yan cooking the beef, Wei Zhou sat opposite her motionlessly. The taste of the roasted pork loin that had just been served made his stomach churn. On the other hand, Su Yan didn’t feel anything at all.
Wei Zhou didn’t understand why there were people in this world who liked to eat hotpot and skewers. How could they just pick up a piece of at and boil it in boiling water? Were they sure that the bacteria in the at had been killed? Now, Su Yan was eating it herself. Usually, hotpot was eaten by several people. Everyone was boiling stuff, and so much saliva was mixed together. It was too unhygienic.
