"Everyone, please take a seat and wait a moment. The food will be served soon~"
Nora carefully arranged seats for several people, but...she sat between Chen Yao and Qiu Yunxi.
"Ahem, boss lady, I have a question." Chen Yao sat a little stiffly.
"You ask!" Nora, on the other hand, held her head with her hands and faced Chen Yao, her long eyelashes and big eyes staring directly at Chen Yao.
"Um...you are the proprietress of Wangyue Tower, right? What about the boss of Wangyue Tower? I mean, your husband..."
"I'm the boss lady, and I'm the boss... too."
"Oh, what a pity. I don't have a husband yet, so I can't play the kind of games that handsome boy Chen Yao likes~"
Nora’s words were full of regret.
"I didn't say anything!!!"
Chen Yao glanced at Qiu Yunxi fearfully. Fortunately, he should be safe for the time being.
Just when Chen Yao was thinking about how to change the topic, a wave of slow footsteps came.
The person who came was the former maid Xiaojie. She was holding a plate with one hand and walking toward the crowd in an enchanting manner. Her steps and posture were obviously well-trained.
"Dear guests, this is the first dish cooked with lantern fish, and its name is Three Thousand Red Willows."
The maid placed the covered tray on the table, and then opened the cover. First, a white mist dispersed, and then everyone saw the true appearance of the dishes.
There is a tree standing on the snow-white porcelain plate? ! That's right, a miniature tree with only branches and no leaves. I don't know where Wangyue Tower got it.
There were pieces of fish as thin as cicada wings hanging on the tree, or was it raw? ! Chen Yao was very puzzled as to how to eat this.
"Raw? Just eat it like this?"
Chen Yao picked up a piece with chopsticks, approached Nora the lady boss and asked.
"Of course ~ lantern fish is the most delicious when eaten like this! Omg..."
Nora ate the fish fillet that Chen Yao picked in front of her in one bite, as if it was a matter of course.
"Oh! It's so delicious! I didn't expect that these fish are almost dead, but they are still so delicious!"
This move caught Chen Yao off guard and directly turned him to stone...
Chen Yao glanced in a certain direction. If nothing unexpected happened... someone was about to get angry. What should he do?
Chen Yao ran through countless ideas in his mind, and finally he loosened his fingers. When the chopsticks fell to the ground, his heart also fell to the ground.
"Ouch, my hand is cramped, hiss!"
"Why are you so careless? Come on, sister, help you wipe it."
“No need, Sister Nola, I’ll just use this.”
Without waiting for Nora to make a move, Chen Yao directly pulled out a new pair of chopsticks from the side and used them neatly without even the slightest hint of cramping.
Picking up a piece of fish, Chen Yao went around Nola's back and finally delivered it to Qiu Yunxi.
"Yunxi, try it? It's definitely not poisonous. I asked Sister Nora to try it just now."
Qiu Yunxi's face was originally a little cold, but when he heard Chen Yao say this, he couldn't help but smile.
Opening her mouth, Yunxi took the fish fillet into her mouth and chewed it carefully.
"How about it?"
“The fish meat is crispy, delicious and sweet. It’s not bad, but I’m not used to eating it raw.”
"Is that so? I'll try too..."
Chen Yao picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth without any hesitation that it was something Yun Xi had used. This made Yun Xi feel a little flustered.
"Hmm... I'm really not used to raw food, although it does taste good."
"Little Hu Lili, want to taste it?"
After the two of them tasted it, they both put down their chopsticks like Chen Yao.
"Brother, I can't get used to it..."
"Brother Yao, me too."
"Okay, then this dish will be..."
Chen Yao returned to his seat, but he turned around and met Ina's longing eyes...
"Are you awake? Want to eat this?"
"Uh-huh!"
I thought it would be a waste not to eat it anyway, so I might as well make it all for my daughter.
Chen Yao took the porcelain plate and put all the fish slices hanging on the decorative tree into Ina's bowl.
"Hey, hey! You little guy! You don't know how to leave some for your sister!"
The dissatisfied voice of Nora’s wife came from the side.
"Don't worry, there is still fish anyway. This plate will be given to our daughter first."
"Nana, be good, eat slowly, there will be more later!"
"Thank you, brother."
This sashimi obviously suited Ina's appetite. The girl ate it happily, and Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, a burst of uniform footsteps came, led by the bunny maid Xiaojie, and several bunny girls of different looks came dragging trays.
As each tray was placed on the dining table and opened, Xiaojie was also telling everyone the names of the dishes one by one.
By the time the bunny maids left, the table was filled with more than a dozen porcelain plates!
"Those elegant names are for outsiders. Here, there are four dishes: steamed turbot, braised mackerel, pan-fried halibut, and croaker in sauce. Try them all."
Nora patiently introduced everyone.
Dishes made from various types of sea fish will make everyone's mouths tingle just by virtue of their color and aroma.
Chen Yao took a chopstick and put it into his mouth, his expression instantly turned into disbelief.
"It's delicious! It's so delicious! Sister Nora, your Wangyuelou chef's cooking skills are also great!"
"That's natural, otherwise Wangyue Tower wouldn't be the second restaurant in Shenmu Town."
"Second? Which is first?"
"Juling Pavilion."
"That's it..."
................................................................. ...
After all the excitement, everyone was satisfied with their food. Only Ina was still using her chopsticks, but what was rare was that this time there was still a lot left on the table.
"Nana, are you full?"
"I'm full and sleepy..." Ina also stopped using her chopsticks and leaned against Chen Yao while yawning.
"Sister Nola, there are so many left...can you let me take them away? It's a pity that there are so many left."
"That's right. After all, it's hard to eat sea fish here in Shenmu Town."
After clapping her palms twice, the maid Xiaojie immediately stepped forward.
"What are your orders from the landlady?"
“Pack up these leftover dishes.”
"OK."
Several bunny maids were busy for a while, and the remaining dishes were packed and set aside, while Chen Yao put them into the binding ring.
"Sister Nola, thank you so much for today. Then, how about settling the bill? It's not too early."
Chen Yao rubbed his hands. To be honest, he was a little nervous. Mainly he didn't know whether he could afford the meal with the huge amount of money he earned today.
"Okay, just a little processing fee and labor fee. If I charge you money, I'm afraid the money you earned from my sister today will have to be paid back to me!"
"That's so embarrassing!"
"If you're embarrassed? Go and have a chat with your sister in the resting place? I just don't know if my sister and I would mind..."
“Forget it, Sister Nola, it’s getting late, it’s time to go back and rest.”
Chen Yao greeted and left with a few people.
"Yes, tomorrow is Soul Binding Day. This is a big day. It's time to rest. If you want to eat something again next time, come see my sister."
“I got it, thank you Sister Nola, let’s go!”
After hurriedly leaving Wangyue Tower, Chen Yao slowed down.
"Why are you panicking? Are you afraid that the witch will eat you?"
There was an obvious strange smell in Yun Xi's words.
"Brother, you and this boss lady won't..."
"Oh, what are you thinking? We just met today. I was selling things in the black market today, and she took my rock salt at a high price. She also hopes to cooperate with me for a long time, that's all!"
Chen Yao is really one of the top two.
"Rock salt? Is it distributed by every star and moon in the village?"
Qiu Yueli was a little curious.
"Yes, these rock salts are actually very precious. It is almost difficult to get them from the outside world. This is convenient in Heiyuan Village..."
"I see!"
"Okay, hurry back to the hotel. Tomorrow...tomorrow we will attend Sarila's funeral."
At this point, the atmosphere became silent and cold again until the group returned to the hotel room.
"Go wash up and then rest quickly."
Chen Yao put the packed dishes on the table, put down Ina, and took out Raya from his pocket.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and eat! You're really going to make a lot of noise all day long."
"Humph! You know how powerful I am! Wow! Are all these things just for me?"
"Yes, let's finish eating quickly and take a rest."
"Thank you, Master, I'm starting!"
While Rayahu was eating Haisai, Chenyao walked towards the cage in the corner of the guest room...
"Xiaohu, where did this thing come from?"
"Oh, Sister Yunxi asked the blacksmith on the street to make this. Sister Yunxi said that Ina sleeps all day long and has no time to take care of Chirp, so she just built a cage."
"That's good, lest it eat bad things again."
The interior of the cage is exquisitely decorated and spacious enough, so it won't wrong the little guy.
By the time everyone finished washing up, Raya had almost finished eating.
"Then I'll go to bed first. I'm really exhausted today..."
Holding Raya in one hand and hugging Ina in the other, Chen Yao fell asleep.
Some rustling noises came from the woods outside the town... and then more such sounds sounded around, but these movements did not attract anyone's attention...
