Today's menu had a wide selection, and although there were quantity limits, but it wasn't excessive.
Lin Qi and Sun Xiao Xiao entered and were immediately overwhelmed by the menu on the wall.
Ah this…
They were instantly suffering from decision paralysis.
But why do adults always have to make choices?
Their choice was to have it all!
Looking at the millet porridge on the menu, Lin Qi rubbed her stomach, which hadn't upset her for over a day, and nodded contentedly: "I want a bowl of millet porridge, the expensive one, the 298 one!"
Lin Qi thought, "I've been working myself to the bone like a slave, can't I even have some fancy fodder?"
Expensive, she wanted the expensive one!
Sun Xiao Xiao, overhearing this, exclaimed in astonishment: "My god, is it that ruthless?"
But why was she inexplicably tempted?
However, 300 yuan was no small sum, and Sun Xiao Xiao hesitated.
Aunt Guo, who came in later, saw that they had millet porridge, and today they even had ginseng millet porridge?
Eat, eat, eat! She had to try it!
Seeing Sun Xiao Xiao hesitating to order, Aunt Guo tentatively asked, "How about I go first?"
Aunt Guo was with her granddaughter, Little Fu. Sun Xiao Xiao, recognizing the grandmother and granddaughter, instinctively made way for them.
After politely thanking them, Aunt Guo ordered a bowl of millet porridge (priced at 298 yuan), a yam and millet porridge, and asked if the octopus feet could be made non-spicy.
Upon receiving an affirmative reply, Aunt Guo smiled and ordered a portion.
As soon as she entered, she smelled the aroma of seafood.
Little Fu, smelling it, immediately said she wanted octopus feet!
Aunt Guo glanced at Tian Xiu's table with some unease and, finding the spicy stir-fried octopus feet to be quite good, ordered them directly.
Of course, bottled water and interstellar dates tea were also essential!
The grandmother and granddaughter quickly found a seat.
Little Fu glanced at the spicy stir-fried octopus feet on Tian Xiu's table and whispered, "Grandma, octopus feet must be delicious!"
After saying that, the little girl savored the delicious taste again, smiled, and pursed her lips, "The millet porridge is good too!"
Her mother's millet porridge used to be terrible.
But the millet porridge at this restaurant was different.
Delicious and thick!
Little Fu had tried it once before and loved it.
She craved it for a long time after going home.
Aunt Guo decisively ordered millet porridge, and Sun Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "May be I should get a bowl too."
After hearing this, Ares smiled apologetically, "Sorry, we're out of ginseng millet porridge. How about yam and millet porridge?"
Sun Xiao Xiao: ?
Huh?
Has the world finally gone mad?
300 yuan worth of millet porridge, gone just like that?
She only hesitated for a second!
Sun Xiao Xiao was on the verge of tears.
Before ordering, she was still hesitating, unsure of what to choose.
Now that it was sold out, Sun Xiao Xiao regretted not being quick enough!
But, oh well, it's okay if it's not available.
Spicy stir-fried octopus feet is actually quite good.
Just as she was about to speak, a rich, meaty aroma wafted from the kitchen.
How to describe that smell?
It was a bit like when you're half-asleep and your stomach is empty, and the aroma of food suddenly wafts from the kitchen.
You know it's the aroma of your own food, and no one can take it away.
So, even though you're still hungry, you can get up unhurriedly.
It was a comforting, rich aroma that made Sun Xiao Xiao sniffle: "What's that smell? It smells so good!"
Help!
As the temperature rose, it became even more fragrant!
Finally, a handful of wild scallions were added, and the natural freshness and untamed spirit collided with the high temperature in that instant, blooming directly and passionately in front of you, allowing you to experience the comfort and beauty that nature brings.
Ares was also overwhelmed by the aroma, but still managed to control himself: "It's pork lard fried rice."
He'd tried it, and it was incredibly delicious!
Ares hadn't actually researched these kinds of terms when it came to food.
After all, nutrient solutions and pastes didn't need such embellishment and praise.
However, at this moment, he racked his brains, constantly thinking of the right words to praise the rich aroma of the pork lard fried rice: "The pork was bought from the village, and the lard was rendered by ourselves. It's very clean and fragrant. The rice tastes great, with a strong aroma. Combined with the lard, it perfectly releases its own fragrance, complementing each other and creating a new aroma. The last touch of wild scallions is the soul of the dish, it adds a finishing touch, making the fried rice even more flavorful."
At the end, Ares' tone was slightly seductive: "If you can accept lard, you can consider trying it, it's very fragrant."
Even without that last sentence, Sun Xiao Xiao felt she would have chosen to try it.
Because…
Sheng Jiu had already passed by her, carrying a plate of freshly made pork lard fried rice.
The rich aroma assaulted her senses, leaving her unable to think of anything else.
She ordered the fried rice, along with some loofah soup.
She also ordered a cup of interstellar dates tea.
When Sun Xiao Xiao and Lin Qi sat back down, their gazes kept drifting towards Tian Xiu's table.
It wasn't that she was curious about internet celebrities, but rather…
That fried rice smelled so good!
Even though the octopus was quite fragrant, but the pork lard fried rice managed to carve out a path through that overpowering aroma, its rich fragrance spreading outwards, making one's heart itch with desire!
At this moment, Sun Xiao Xiao, smelling the rich aroma of delicious food from the restaurant, couldn't help but ask the soul-searching question: Can't a person really have two stomachs?
Ares quickly served Aunt Guo's millet porridge, and as he did so, he reminded her, "Ginseng millet porridge is very nourishing, and it's not recommended for children under fourteen."
Aunt Guo actually knew that children shouldn't eat ginseng.
She had initially ordered two bowls of millet porridge because one of them was too much for the child.
Hearing Ares's reminder, Aunt Guo, though already aware of the situation, still politely thanked him.
She thought this restaurant was quite thoughtful.
Little Fu didn't understand. She curiously looked at the millet porridge in front of her grandmother, then at her own, but couldn't see much difference.
The ginseng slices were very thin, and the yam slices weren't thick either.
So, what's the difference?
Aunt Guo took the opportunity to educate the child: "You're too young to eat ginseng, or you'll get nosebleeds, which is scary."
Upon hearing about bleeding, Little Fu immediately looked away and sat up obediently: "Okay, Grandma, I won't eat it, I'll just drink this!"
Aunt Guo, not wanting to frighten the child, patted her granddaughter's head again.
Sheng Jiu wielded the spatula until sparks flew as she finished cooking the dishes the old men had ordered, and also served the two tables of Lin Qi and Aunt Guo.
Of course, Lin Qi didn't forget about the quantity limit, so she and Sun Xiao Xiao quickly ordered takeout.
After noting down the corresponding dishes, Sheng Jiu first had Ares adjust the quantities on the menu before turning and going into the kitchen.
The white steam from the previous busy activity in the kitchen hadn't dissipated when new steam quickly rose again.
Amidst the enticing aroma of fresh, delicious food, Sheng Jiu deftly stirred the stir-fry while making a decision in her mind.
This afternoon, she was going to interstellar space to bring back a giant crab, she would enjoy it all by herself.
All by herself!
