"The conditions in this small shop are really limited, and the food is a bit crude. I hope you don't find it objectionable~"
After serving the last soup, Abe stood by the dining table, wiped his hands on his apron, and said a little shyly and embarrassedly.
'...'
Po Meng looked at Abe speechlessly, then lowered her head at the six meat and vegetable dishes, one soup and a large bowl of steaming white rice on the table. The corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously, and she suddenly felt like
There was a misunderstanding of the word 'shabby', and Wei Ming on the side had a similar expression, but his idea was much simpler. After all, it can be said that he had a good understanding of Abe in his previous life, so for her somewhat modest words,
It's just that she has too high requirements for her cooking skills.
However, in fact, what Abe was thinking about was——
'Oh~ If I had known that Mr. Dongfang was coming today, I should have gone to Luoyang City to buy some raw materials and prepare them in advance. I don't know if the game meal I made will suit the taste of Mr. Dong...'
Thinking like this, Abe couldn't help but feel a little more uneasy on his face, and then found that neither of them had moved their chopsticks, so he asked cautiously: "You two...but the food doesn't look to your liking?"
"Ah~? Oh, that's not the case, I'm just a little surprised by your cooking skills, girl~" Weiming came to his senses first and said with admiration on his face.
"Young master, you just like it~" Hearing Wei Ming's compliment, Abe's face turned slightly red and he said with a bit of shyness: "Sir, please eat quickly, otherwise it won't taste good after it cools down after a while."
"Yeah! Okay." Weiming responded, picked up the rice bowl, and was about to start eating. But at this moment, Po Meng, who had also recovered but said nothing, suddenly looked at Abe and said:
"Girl, I saw you were preparing to close the stall earlier. You must not have eaten yet~ How about you get another pair of bowls and chopsticks and eat with us?"
"That's right~ You should sit down and eat together! It would be more lively if there are more people!" Wei Ming also echoed.
Hearing what Meng Po and Wei Ming said, Abe couldn't help but glance at Wei Ming. A trace of expectation flashed across her face, but then she shook her head repeatedly and said, "I can't help it, I'm a chef, and
You are guests, so there is no reason for the chef to sit at the same table as the guests, no, no, no..."
"Okay, don't worry about those etiquette~"
Mrs. Meng didn't care about that. She directly grabbed Abe's arm, pressed her shoulders and sat next to her. She leaned into her ear and said with a meaningful smile: "Our young master from the East doesn't appreciate those who insist on sticking to the situation."
A stereotypical person~”
As soon as she finished her words, Po Meng felt the delicate body beside her tremble slightly, and then the body that was still struggling suddenly became quiet. When Po Meng saw this, she couldn't help but smile, and thought to herself: '
What a simple and good girl! With such good skills, she can be tricked...oh no, coaxed into serving Wei Ming's life. It's perfect.'
"Sister Meng, what are you and the female master talking about?" Weiming saw Po Meng whispering something in Abe's ear and couldn't help but asked curiously. In addition, because Abe and Weiming hadn't exchanged names yet, Weiming couldn't help but ask.
I probably don't know Abe's name yet, so in order not to arouse Meng Po's suspicion, I have temporarily replaced him with a female master.
"No, it's nothing~" Po Meng replied casually to Wei Ming, and then continued to look at Abe with questioning eyes.
Abe, who was sitting next to Mrs. Meng, turned red at this moment, as if he had made up his mind. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll excuse you little lady~"
Seeing Abe agree, the smile on Mrs. Meng's face became a little thicker, and she began to joke: "What are you talking about? This is your place, we are the ones who are bothering you!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Meng took the spare bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Abe, then turned to look at Weiming who had not yet moved his chopsticks.
"What are you looking at me for? Eat it quickly!" Wei Ming said something unclear, and then he stopped being polite and took the lead in stretching out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and stuff it into his mouth.
"Yeah~ delicious!" Wei Ming praised sincerely.
"Young master, as long as you like it~" Seeing Weiming's joy in eating, Abe echoed in a low voice.
When Po Meng saw this, she also smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat quickly!"
"Yeah~" Abe still responded in a low voice.
Seeing Abei's cute and sensible appearance, Po Meng felt more and more fond of her. At the same time, seeing her confused eyes and demeanor, her desire to introduce her to the family became even more ingrained.
In fact, the action of waiting for Weiming to use chopsticks just now was also a small test for Abe by Meng Po. Although she herself did not value secular rules, except for Weiming. Although she always regarded herself as her sister on weekdays, as long as she
When being with Weiming, Meng Po must be mainly interested in Wei Ming, and as the person Meng Po likes, she naturally needs to pay a little attention to this aspect.
...
After dinner, the three of them were satisfied with what they had eaten.
During the dinner, Wei Ming naturally concentrated on eating because he had practiced Kungfu all afternoon. In contrast, Po Meng was eating while pretending to casually chat with Abe with the intention of making common sense.
, For example, what is her last name, where is her hometown? Why did she come to Dukang Village, etc.
After the three of them finished eating, Po Meng also knew Abe's name and her origins.
Similar to Weiming's impression, Abei here is also from Sichuan. She originally ran a restaurant at home with her old father. Later, her father fell ill and died, so she followed her father's wishes and came to Luoyang to join her distant relatives.
But who would have thought that when Abe came to Luoyang all the way, he would find that his relatives and his family had moved away for many years, and things had changed.
With the mentality of taking things as they come, Abe simply stayed. With the extra money she brought from home, she opened a restaurant directly outside Dukang Village. Although the place was somewhat remote, she didn't make a lot of money.
, but taking care of one's own food and clothing is not a problem.
In addition to these, Po Meng also learned something unexpected from Abe's mouth, which was the 'reason' why Abe looked at Weiming differently.
"You mean... when Weiming broke into the Huang Mansion last year, you were locked in a side room and he happened to rescue you?" Po Meng looked at Abe in surprise and asked.
Abe nodded shyly, glanced at Weiming unconsciously, and then quickly took it back before he noticed.
"No wonder~"
Po Meng suddenly realized that love is an old story about a hero saving a beauty!
At first, she thought Abe was the woman Weiming had hooked up with some time before!? She also pretended not to care and didn't know. Now that she thinks about it, she was a bit silly, but Weiming probably wouldn't notice.
Right~
Po Meng turned her head and glanced at Wei Ming, only to find that he still had a stunned expression. She couldn't help but nodded secretly: Hmm~ He probably didn't notice.
