Chapter 439 Incarnation as a Glutton
It was cooked for just the right amount of time, and it was crisp and crunchy when you ate it.
The seaweed, in particular, is incredibly chewy and soaks up all the broth from the pickled fish, making it refreshing and not greasy.
"Wanying, try the dishes below, they're delicious too," Wen Shichen reminded her.
Before Fu Wanying could make a move, he immediately picked up a large portion of side dishes and placed it in her bowl.
Fu Wanying's mouth was full of food, and she couldn't speak at all.
All he did was nod repeatedly.
Of the side dishes, pickled radish and tofu were her favorites.
The pickled radish, in particular, is crisp and refreshing, and incredibly juicy, bursting with flavor with every bite.
I couldn't stop eating.
"Roast duck is also good." Wen Shichen was slightly out of breath, his lips were already swollen.
The roast duck is soaked in red oil, and the crispy duck skin becomes soft and chewy, like a thin silk that has absorbed all the essence, with a slightly gelatinous texture. At the same time, the duck meat is also soaked in the soup, making it spicy, numbing and fragrant.
Fu Wanying was almost hooked on the food, taking one bite after another.
Since she was three months pregnant, she couldn't stand the smell of oily food. She was already eating for two, but because she couldn't eat, she was getting thinner and thinner.
Just then, Xu Yiyi brought him some mung bean cakes, which awakened his taste buds.
That's why they insisted on coming to the restaurant; originally, they only planned to ask Xu Yiyi to make some more mung bean cakes to take back with them.
Once inside the restaurant, I couldn't move.
The sauerkraut fish has a rich and pungent sour aroma, while the deep red crispy skin of the roast duck is dotted with sesame seeds that exude a caramelized fragrance. Far from making her feel nauseous, it actually made her mouth water.
"Eat slowly, I won't fight you for it."
Seeing that she was eating so quickly, Wen Shichen repeatedly tried to persuade her to stop.
Unexpectedly, Fu Wanying's movements became quick.
Another piece of fish, followed by a bite of refreshing and delicious side dish.
Then came another roast duck, covered in sauce, with crispy skin and tender meat.
She ate faster and faster, as if she wanted to eat back all the energy she had lost during her pregnancy.
Seeing that most of the two dishes had been eaten, she still felt unsatisfied, so she picked up the large bowl containing the sauerkraut fish soup and poured the broth over the white rice.
In an instant, the rice was dyed with an enticing color.
She held the bowl in her hands, shoveling rice into her mouth, until fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and the tip of her nose turned slightly red.
Only after swallowing the last grain of rice did he reluctantly put down the bowl and let out a long, satisfied sigh.
But the breath took a turn halfway through and turned into a loud burp.
She was startled, instinctively covered her mouth, and then a series of uncontrollable burps followed.
Wen Shichen watched from the side, his initial worry turning into a smile, and finally he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
His tone was full of helpless indulgence: "You... are you finally comfortable now?"
Fu Wanying nodded.
"We haven't finished eating yet."
After saying that, she licked her lips, her face still showing a craving even though she was full.
"I'll eat it."
Wen Shichen served her a small bowl of fish ball, scallop, and silver thread soup, watching her sip it slowly.
Only then did he lower his head and start eating his own food.
"Give me another bite."
Fu Wanying sipped the soup half-heartedly, finding it bland and tasteless.
You should know that she always had a light palate, so Wen Shichen ordered the dishes according to her taste.
The two newly added signature dishes, pickled fish and braised roast duck, were ordered only reluctantly after Sihai strongly recommended them.
As a result, after trying two of the signature dishes, Fu Wanying became addicted.
Wen Shichen shook his head helplessly and fed her a chopstickful of seaweed.
No matter how much she begged and pleaded, they refused to let her eat anymore.
"Be good, listen to me! Eating too much makes your stomach uncomfortable. If you want more, I'll bring you again tomorrow."
After being rejected once again, Fu Wanying sat sullenly in her chair, her eyes darting around.
He just stared at the remaining dishes.
Watching him eat bowl after bowl of rice, it was as if he had transformed into a glutton.
I only regret that my appetite is too small.
"Hey! What business does Mr. Xu want to discuss with you?"
Fu Wanying looked out the window and saw Xu Yiyi downstairs doing accounts for a customer. Her slender fingers were moving so fast on the abacus that they almost flew.
It's so beautiful!
When Wen Shichen looked up, he saw her smiling with a lovestruck expression.
He cleared his throat. "She wants me to sell her the building next door, Ruyi Residence."
"Have you reached an agreement?" Fu Wanying asked casually, smiling at Xu Yiyi.
No, I didn't agree.
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Wanying turned around abruptly.
Why not sell?
Wen Shichen avoided her gaze. [What else could it be? It's not worth it.]
Moreover, the price Xu Yiyi offered did not meet his expectations.
Wen Shichen shook his head and gently placed his chopsticks back on the table: "There's still more to discuss."
Fu Wanying was somewhat puzzled: "Didn't you say a few days ago that you were having a tight cash flow?"
Wen Shichen smiled slightly. He was indeed short of cash, but it was really not worth it.
Selling this building might seem like getting cash, but it would actually cut off our lifeline.
Wen Shichen continued to calculate in his mind that Xu Yiyi only offered six hundred taels of silver to buy his building, and that it would only become less and less useful as it was left there.
But if you keep it to collect rent, you can recoup that amount in six years, and then it's pure profit.
Given its location, this building will only become more valuable in the years to come.
But he wouldn't say these things to Fu Wanying directly.
It's not that I don't trust them, but rather that some of their calculations would lose weight if spoken aloud.
Fearing she would continue to press him, Wen Shichen quickly changed the subject.
"I think the rain has lessened. Shall we go back? Otherwise, the rain will get heavier again and it will be difficult to walk."
Fu Wanying thought about it and agreed.
There's no point in sitting here after eating; I might as well go home and lie down comfortably.
And so, the two of them strode down from the second floor.
Fu Wanying stood upright in front of the counter, her eyes fixed on Xu Yiyi's face, occasionally revealing a lovesick smile.
Xu Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at Wen Shichen standing beside her, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes.
"Mr. Xu, how much is our table?" Wen Shichen smiled and did not stop Fu Wanying's actions.
She's always been like this since she was little; she can't take her eyes off beautiful people or things.
Xu Yiyi opened the booklet and went to their table, telling them the prices of the three dishes.
"You ordered three dishes, totaling 460 coins. You can give me 450 coins."
Wen Shichen pursed his lips. No wonder Xu Yiyi was able to make money so quickly.
Her restaurant's food is delicious, but it's generally more expensive than other restaurants.
"Keep the change." Wen Shichen took out five strings of cash from his money bag and slapped them on the counter.
He helped Fu Wanying up and they were about to leave.
Turning around, I saw Sihai carrying his younger brother over. Wuyuan was wearing a light green jacket and matching pants. His exposed skin was fair, tender, chubby, and clean.
Upon seeing Xu Yiyi, she tilted her head and grinned, her round eyes crinkling.
"So cute, is this your little brother?" Fu Wanying couldn't help but step forward and reach out to touch Wu Yuan's little hand.
But the child avoided it.
