Chapter 373: Gathering for a Meal (2) (2/2)

Sob sob sob… This was proper human food! That bean paste they had been eating was only fit for feeding pigs!

The wretched sight of the three men eating didn’t faze He Sanlang at all. He sat ramrod straight at the table without touching his chopsticks. His eyes seemed to be fixed on the table, but he was actually watching Chu Lian from the corner of his gaze.

It was Sima Hui’s first time seeing Captain Guo and the rest eat like that. She was stunned and could only continue staring blankly for some time. It was only when Chu Lian spoke up from beside her that she finally regained her senses.

Chu Lian was already used to seeing reactions like those of Captain Guo and the rest after opening ‘Guilin Restaurant’.

She remained calm, as if it was completely normal to be wolfing down food like Xiao Hongyu and the others were doing. Sima Hui was starting to wonder if she was the one who was abnormal for not reacting like that.

Chu Lian kindly reminded her, “General Sima, please have a taste. They’re eating really fast.”

It was only then that Sima Hui picked up her chopsticks and reached towards the plate. Unfortunately, she was still too late; the last slice of spicy beef was quickly taken away by Xiao Hongyu.

Sima Hui: ……

Chu Lian: ……

Xiao Hongyu didn’t notice that he was being judged at all. He was still immersed in the delicious food!

Mm, the spicy ones seemed to carry more flavour and were even better than the normal beef slices.

Chu Lian was too lazy to reason with a glutton like Xiao Hongyu. She shot a look at the busy Wenqing, who quickly passed over a smaller plate to Chu Lian. There were two freshly grilled beef slices on the small dish.

She set the dish in front of Sima Hui and smiled, “General Sima, please try this.”

As thick-skinned as Xiao Hongyu was, he still didn’t have the guts to steal from Sima Hui’s dish. He could only chew on his chopsticks with a pitiful look on his face.

Sima Hui used her chopsticks to pick up a slice of beef and blew on it first, before putting it into her mouth.

She chewed once, twice, before her eyes abruptly lit up. Following that, her chewing got faster and faster…

Even though she had been raised on the best delicacies that money could buy and she had eaten plenty of good food back in Shandong, Chu Lian’s little beef slices had already conquered her taste buds in seconds.
