Meng Nan looked at the almost empty plates on the table, he felt deep remorse inside his heart. Why he didn’t think of that?
Bai Zhi is his friend, not a cook in this house. It’s not her obligation to cook for him, but she cooked out of sentiment.
It’s only reasonable to wait for her before they start to eat. But instead, they leave the leftover foods to her who worked so hard.
He really has been living as a rich young master for a long time now, which made him forget even the most basic etiquette.
When Bai Zhi entered the hall, she saw Meng Nan sitting in a daze, Jin Shiwei was leaning on the chair holding his belly, while Hu Feng was drinking tea.
“What? Is it not good? Why aren’t you guys eating?”
Jin Shiwei turned his head and said with a smile: “We’re sorry, because we are so hungry, and because your dishes are so delicious. We didn’t hold back our mouth and ate first.”
Bai Zhi sat down on the right side of Hu Feng and saw the plates on the table were almost empty. Leaving only some ingredients.
“You like them, that is the best thing that every cook wanted to see.”
Jin Shiwei busily said: “Well, I will like it more, if I can eat them every day.”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “I am afraid that I can’t. Although I like cooking, it’s not my hobby and it’s not the job that I want. If you two want to eat my dishes, you can come to our village and look for me. That is my thank you gift t to Meng Daren for saving my life that day.”
When it comes to that day, Meng Nan still can’t figure out where Bai Zhi’s courage came from. If they will return to that day, can she still have such courage?
“You are a woman, I am a man, a man protects a woman, so it is only natural. Additionally, we are friends, you help me, I help you, that’s how it should be.”
Hu Feng's coldly swept his eyes to Meng Nan, as he said to Bai Zhi: “Eat, I saved these foods for you.” Then, he pushed the plate full of dishes in front of her and handed her a pair of chopsticks.
Bai Zhi took the chopsticks, put a piece of rabbit meat in her mouth and chewed it. She wrinkled her eyebrows and said: “It’s a bit bad. It will taste much better if there is a chili sauce.”
Hearing this, Jin Shiwei’s eyes lit up, he busily said: “What is chili sauce? Listening to its name, it must be delicious.”
Who would have thought that Jin Shiwei, who looks so cool at ordinary time, will have such a big appetite for spicy dishes?
Bai Zhi replied: “Chili sauce is a very special spice. I will make one, but it will take a while. I will give you some when I have it.”
“Oh, right, just when I was cooking in the kitchen, a girl named Dong’er, who claimed to be the maidservant of Miss Gu, kept watching and said that she had to learn to cook for you. When you want to eat spicy food, you can find Miss Gu.”
Jin Shiwei was drinking tea. When he heard Bai Zhi’s words, he immediately sprayed the tea from his mouth, which unfortunately was sprayed to Meng Nan's face.
Bai Zhi hurriedly pulled out the handkerchief from her sleeve and tried hard to suppress herself from laughing. She just smiled and said: “Quickly wipe your face. Jin Dage didn’t mean it, don’t blame him.”
Meng Nan took Bai Zhi’s handkerchief, he started wiping his face after looking at Jin Shiwei.
The handkerchief was only made of ordinary coarse cloth, which was not as soft and smooth like his handkerchief. But, it was good at absorbing and has a subtle scent. The scent has a very special fragrance, which was different from the incense he usually used. The fragrance was very light but smells refreshing.
