Chapter 44 The delicious food that shocked Lanwu!

Author: Long Naoying

Xu Chengying was huddled in Qixi's arms like a little hamster at this moment.

[It’s so scary!~ My brothers are not here, there is no sense of security at all! Where did these brothers go to wander around?! They don’t know how to take care of me! I cry to death o(╥﹏╥)o...~]

Xu Chengying buried her head tightly in Qixi's arms, not daring to poke it out.

Qi Xi touched Xu Chengying's little hair and quickly comforted her.

"It's okay, little Chengzi. In Fengguyun Island, the middle-aged men who work night shifts in factories have more or less had their right arms amputated due to poisoning. We are all used to it."

"ah?!"

[Is it so easy to get used to having your right arm cut off?!]

Xu Chengying's innocent and big eyes are full of big question marks and helplessness, even a little bit tearful and endearing.

"Is this your first time to Fengguyun Island, little sister?"

After the lady boss sent the middle-aged man away, she finally realized that Xu Chengying had such a big reaction. It was probably the first time she was frightened.

After Xu Chengying heard the boss lady's question, she quickly looked at Qixi as if asking for help, and grabbed Qixi's sleeve, not knowing whether to admit or deny.

Qi Xi understood Xu Chengying's worries and quickly patted Xu Chengying's back to comfort her, then immediately picked up what the boss lady said.

"Little Chengzi is my sister. I have always kept her at home and rarely take her out. This is the first time I brought her to the market. She is not familiar with many things. After all, she is only three and a half years old~"

Qixi responded fluently and naturally, with a slight smile on his face and his eyes slightly curved into crescents, making it impossible for anyone to be suspicious of such a child.

"Oh, that's it, hahaha, little sister, there are many magical things in Fengguyun Island. People die for money, and birds die for food. For your three-and-a-half-year-old little mind, these things are still

It’s too profound~”

The proprietress looked at Xu Chengying meaningfully, brushed her black feather coat, and grabbed her hair that was slightly messed up just now because she was looking for clothes. The big pearl necklace also appeared because of this series.

Movement causes a clanking sound.

Xu Chengying couldn't understand the metaphors of the landlady. She thought it was too complicated and her head was buzzing, so she shook her head.

"It's too complicated. Since it's not a particularly scary thing, Xiao Chengzi should continue trying on clothes."

Xu Chengying walked towards the fitting room, fiddling with her clothes alone, and slowly put on a light purple bellflower tulle skirt.

Xu Chengying looked at herself in the mirror, never expecting that she actually had such a gentle and pleasant side, just like catkins blowing in the wind.

Xu Chengying walked outside, and Qixi was pleasantly surprised when she saw Xu Chengying who had changed her style, as if she had seen a bouquet of sweet, lovely and gentle purple lavender.

"It looks good, little Chengzi, do you want this one?"

Xu Chengying also nodded with great satisfaction.

"Then let's see how we choose our brothers' clothes."

Xu Chengying tilted her little head and began to think about what clothes would be more suitable for each of her brothers.

"Little sister, please describe each of your brothers, so that I know how to recommend them?"

The boss lady shook her black feathers and walked slowly to Xu Chengying. Looking at the outfit she matched, she smiled with satisfaction and nodded her head in praise.

"Well... I have an older brother who is noble, elegant, intellectual and like a big brother; I have an older brother who is lively, cheerful and cute, but unfortunately... I have been very preoccupied recently since I came to the island..."

Thinking of cookies, Xu Chengying lowered her head worriedly.

"There is another brother who is as gentle as wind and rain, moistening things silently; the last brother is free and easy-going."

Xu Chengying couldn't help but feel proud when she thought of her four brothers. She smiled brightly, like flowers blooming in spring.

After Lan Wu finished eating the abalone, he looked toward the sky and said a long "Wow~".

What follows is a deep exhale and a sense of contentment.

This sense of satisfaction comes from the pleasure that arises in the heart when one has obtained something beautiful, or when one believes that one is about to obtain something beautiful. This is the so-called happiness.

For Lan Wu, being able to taste this rare delicacy that exceeds his previous knowledge is a kind of satisfaction.

"Why, Mr. Octopus, is the Teppanyaki Abalone you made so delicious? This damn deliciousness..."

Lanwu sat slumped on the chair for a long time. At this moment, because his taste buds were satisfied, he felt as comfortable as if he had come to the beautiful beach at the seaside and was sitting under an umbrella to watch the tide.

"Heh... Sir, don't you know that this is part of the charm of something like that? It just needs a little seasoning."

"Aha, it turns out that this is part of the charm of things like that~"

Lan Wu sat up in an instant from the relaxed state where he just lay down on the chair. Although he was still carefree, he was already a little more alert.

"It's okay, sir, don't worry. Our Tulip House is an old sign. Food like that will only increase the flavor and won't cause any trouble. We are a restaurant after all. How can we let our guests have problems with their food?"

After that, Mr. Octopus continued to put his steak on the dining table and started grilling it.

First put a piece of butter. When the solid butter is heated, it immediately melts into a pool of sweet, delicious and appetizing milky aroma.

Lan Wu began to carefully look at the seasonings put by Chef Octopus and Miss Cat.

After Mr. Octopus melts the butter, he puts in a piece of steak that is moderately fat and lean. The lean meat is as bright as fire and the fat meat is slightly transparent. It is the best to drink with some white wine, and finally sprinkle with some pepper, sea salt and chopped green onion.

"Okay, sir, your teppanyaki steak."

Mr. Octopus scooped it up with a spatula and placed it on the delicately presented light white and blue ceramic glazed plate in front of Lan Wu.

Slightly cut a small piece of Lanwu with a knife and put it in your mouth. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with moderate texture and moderate heat.

"Ah!~"

Lan Wu's taste buds and spleen and stomach were once again deeply penetrated by the delicious taste of this food. Lan Wu leaned on the chair again, looking up at the small chandelier fan on the ceiling shaking and blowing, as if he had returned to his childhood.

It’s a rare time to fly a kite with Aunt Su on the grass near home.

That moment of tranquility and beautiful memories flooded into Lan Wu's mind one after another.

"So did you put something like that this time?"

Lan Wu carefully recalled that when the octopus and Miss Cat were cooked just now, he didn't see any seasonings that were beyond what his father had taught him in the past.

"Yes, I let it go this time, a little bit."
