Seeing the situation, Song Yansheng quickly handed over the glass of clear water in his hand, and Shi Nuan took it, drank a sip, and rinsed her mouth.
She rinsed her mouth twice before feeling better, then turned her eyes to the man looking at her with a worried expression.
With slightly flushed cheeks, obviously embarrassed, she said, "...Sorry, I think I... mistook sugar for salt!"
Shi Nuan rarely cooked, but it was the first time she mixed up sugar with salt. fre.ewebnov el.com
She wondered if it was because having Song Yansheng by her side made her too nervous!
Song Yansheng smiled slightly, as if unconcerned, and said, "It’s nothing... It’s my first time tasting sweet tomato scrambled eggs too, uh... it’s rather unique!"
Hearing this, Shi Nuan felt even more embarrassed!
She hurriedly reached out to take the bowl, intending to throw away this "overly sweet" tomato scrambled eggs.
But just as her hand touched the bowl, a warm palm grasped her wrist.
The man’s gentle voice came, "Little girl, planning to commit a crime?"
"...Second Uncle, this dish is terrible, let me throw it away!"
"Is it terrible?" Song Yansheng raised an eyebrow. "I think... it’s okay!"
Earlier, when Shi Nuan was cooking, Song Yansheng hadn’t given much instruction, especially since what Shi Nuan was doing seemed quite proper, as if she knew something.
Of course, confusing sugar with salt must have been an accident; Shi Nuan didn’t do it on purpose!
Moreover, it was the first time his dear Nuannuan had ever cooked for him, no matter if it was salty or bitter, it would feel sweet to him.
How could he possibly find it unappetizing?
Shi Nuan bit her pink lips, her eyes looking at Song Yansheng’s handsome face. She thought this man truly knew how to comfort people, but failure was failure, and there was no way to argue.
"Sit down quickly, the food will get cold..." Song Yansheng said softly.
Shi Nuan remained unmoved, saying, "Second Uncle, you ought to... let me throw it away!"
Song Yansheng had a sensitive stomach, although she hadn’t poisoned it or anything, she was afraid he might get an upset stomach!
Song Yansheng laughed, "Who decreed that tomato scrambled eggs must always have salt? I think it’s great that our Nuannuan created a new method... Of course, if Nuannuan finds it unpalatable, perhaps it’s just unfamiliarity, no worries, today’s dish is mine to handle, I’ll eat it all by myself!"
"If you don’t sit down and eat soon, I’ll think you’re waiting for me to feed you!"
Who wants him to feed them!
In the end, she couldn’t win against him, so Shi Nuan frowned and sat down.
Song Yansheng smiled and reached out to serve her a bowl of seaweed egg soup, handing it over, saying, "Try the soup, does it suit your taste?"
Shi Nuan did not refuse, she took it, and the flavor was very fresh and delicious, washing away the sweet aftertaste from before.
She looked up at the man’s handsome face, wanting to say something, but saw him starting to eat the tomato scrambled eggs again!
How could he eat something so unappetizing so unflinchingly?
Did he truly taste, or was he just comforting her?
For a moment, Shi Nuan didn’t know what to say...
This meal, Shi Nuan finished with a complicated mood, and as for the bowl of tomato scrambled eggs, Song Yansheng ultimately couldn’t finish it all.
But looking at it, he ate about half.
After the meal, he looked at the half bowl of tomato scrambled eggs, rather regretfully, and said, "Why don’t we pack it up and take it back to Song Mansion to continue eating tonight?"
A bit speechless, was Song Yansheng really not doing it on purpose?
Moreover, the chefs at Song Mansion each had top-notch culinary skills, turning every meal into a feast of delicacies.
