Chapter 686 - Staying With Su Dongpo’s To The End (2/2)

“Anything else?” Mu Xiaoyun asked dutifully.

“Two more servings of plain white rice from the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine and a cup of Longan And Red Jujube Tea,” Geng Xiao thought for a while and said again.

“Okay. One moment, please.” Mu Xiaoyun nodded her head and then she began to calculate the total price.

While she was calculating the price, Geng Xiao opened his mouth.

“I heard that the Longan And Red Jujube Tea in Boss Yuan’s restaurant is very nourishing and is in particular suitable for girls. Try it,” Geng Xiao sounded quite natural when he said that.

“Okay. Thank you.” Tang Min nodded her head to express her gratitude.

“Excuse me. It’s 3664RMB in all, 1666RMB for a serving of Dongpo Inkfish, 98RMB for 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine, 96RMB for Longan And Red Jujube Tea and 20RMB for the Welcoming Set Meal. Do you want to pay by cash or bank transfer?” Mu Xiaoyun reported the price of the dishes one by one clearly.

“Bank transfer,” Geng Xiao swallowed his saliva without a trace but said lightly on the surface.

“Okay.” Mu Xiaoyun took the QR code and handed it to him.

“Holy sh*t. The new dish is so damn expensive. I would have ordered one serving if I knew earlier.” Geng Xiao’s heart was bleeding though he paid the money decisively on the surface.

“Let’s split the expenses this time. Next time, you can treat me to the Longan And Red Jujube Tea,” at that time, Tang Min stood up and said to him.

“No, no, no. I told you I would you. Next time, you can treat me to a cup of lemon water. I’m now very poor,” Geng Xiao put away his phone and said jokingly.

Geng Xiao didn’t flaunt his superiority but contrarily brought that out frankly and straightforwardly, which made Tang Min feel he was sincere and natural.

“All right. Let me treat next time.” Tang Min tittered and didn’t insist.

“So that’s a deal. You owe me a meal,” Geng Xiao said smilingly.

“Yeah, I understand.” Tang Min stroked her hair with a little embarrassment.

After the new dish was provided, the regular customers basically arrived in the first round like Jiang Changxi and Wu Hai. Therefore, there were quite a few people who ordered this dish.

But even so, Yuan Zhou still cooked quickly as he had processed everything needed beforehand and thus made the dishes quickly.

While they were waiting for the dishes, Geng Xiao amused his goddess ceaselessly with his sense of humor and volubility. Obviously, he was good at flirting with girls.

Yuan Zhou happened to be busy with cooking right now. If he was free, he might have asked him for advice. After all, he also didn’t have a girlfriend.

“Here’s the Dongpo Garra Fish for you two.” Mu Xiaoyun carried a strange plate onto the table.

“Thank you,” The two people thanked her subconsciously.

“Please take your time and enjoy,” after saying that, Mu Xiaoyun left.

The first reaction that they had when they caught sight of the fish was, “It doesn’t seem to be the Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili.” Right after that, however, they were attracted by the ingenious thought of this dish and beautiful plate presentation.

On the table was a half-fan-shaped plate just like an open fan that was cut in half.

The area where the fan surface covered was shaped into a concave sphere, where there seemed to be a swimming black fish.

At the place of the fan handle, there stood a man in a wide big-sleeve robe, who seemed to be sculpted using white jade. He was bending his waist and lifting up one of the sleeves with his left hand while reaching out a brush pen towards the round plate with his right hand.

The white tip of the brush pen just touched the broth in the round plate. A circle of shiny black broth seemed to be scattering from the tip just like ink dispersing in a lake and the fish inside drinking the black ink.

It seemed that this dish was an aesthetic and realistic picture where an intellectual was washing his brush pen at the lakeside and the fragrance of the ink attracted the fish.

If they approached it, a continuous fragrance was emitted, which just reminded the two of them that it was actually a dish rather than a scenic painting.

“This is way too beautiful.” Tang Min stared at the dish in front of him in surprise.

“Is it based on the legend of Su Dongpo washing the inkstone? Wu Hai had the most intuitive feeling toward paintings, thus he immediately opened his mouth and said.

After he had been astounded by the exquisiteness of Yuan Zhou’s dishes, Geng Xiao heard Wu Hai’s word and instinctively felt something was wrong.

“Does Su Dongpo have anything to do with the Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili?” Geng Xiao felt puzzled in his mind.

That’s right. Geng Xiao had intended to take Tang Min here to eat the Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili, but it didn’t seem like that dish.
