"Never been here before," Lu Bai said.
Lu Xiaojiu said, "Then you must try it, the wild mushroom chicken soup at this countryside restaurant is particularly delicious. It's a pity I'm busy and can't come often. The last time I was here was three months ago."
"You like it so much?"
"I do," Lu Xiaojiu said. "After living in New York for a few years, I didn't really like Chinese food anymore, but this countryside restaurant successfully brought back my memories. There are many Chinese restaurants in C City, and I used to love dishes with lots and lots of chili peppers. Now my tastes have become much milder."
Lu Bai's palate was especially mild.
He loved steamed dishes, always without much flavor. Chu Lin often complained when dining with him, yet always accommodated his tastes, which made Lin Jingsheng complain every time.
"If you like it, I can bring the chef over to cook delicious food for you every day," Lu Bai said.
