After ordering, Georgina looked at Harrison, whose eyes and mouth were full of smiles, and felt that she had been tricked.
She had been relying on the nutrient solution to sustain her life for the past two years.
Her hunger had already disappeared, and she couldn't be interested in any food. She even felt nauseous.
Yet, she had ordered a serving of Mapo Tofu for herself.
After a moment of silence, she wanted to explain the situation.
Harrison beat her to it, and seriously said, "Your eyes are very beautiful."
Georgina was slightly taken aback before she blushed.
His eyes were light purple. Since he was young, many people had praised his eyes.
If there was anything on her that was worth praising, it seemed to be her eyes.
It was just that most of the time, others couldn't see her eyes.
In the past two years, apart from her father, he seemed to be the only one who had said that.
"Thank you." Georgina smiled shyly. The curl of her lips felt a little unfamiliar, but she felt warmth in her heart for some reason.
"She smiled!" A gratified smile also appeared on Kenneth's face. However, the way he looked at Harrison was a little more scrutinizing and complicated. This little fatty actually flirted with his daughter right in front of him, but he couldn't stop him.
Harrison saw the smile that flashed across Georgina's face, and felt very encouraged. He continued to ask, "Miss Georgina, you must have grown up in Chaos City, right?"
"Mm-hm." Georgina nodded.
"Then, you must know Seater Alley. 10 years ago, that was the most complete food gathering place in Chaos City. Almost all the novel snacks originated from there, and they quickly spread to all the food stalls in the streets and alleys. However, you could only get the most authentic flavors there."
"I know that place!" Georgina's voice raised a few octaves unconsciously. Her family lived near Seater Alley when she was young. That place was simply her childhood paradise. She would go to Seater Alley to have some snacks after school every time.
Now that she thought about it, it was actually more than ten years ago. At that time, the person who came to pick her up from school was still her mother, the most gentle mother in the world, the mother who was willing to eat everything with her.
Harrison sighed, and said, "I went to Seater Alley a few days ago. There aren't many food stalls left. I heard that many have opened up shops in the Aden Square, and some have closed down. It's not easy to eat the same snacks as I remember."
"Already … gone?" Georgina couldn't hide her disappointment. In the past, she would go to Sitter Alley every once in a while, but she hadn't been there for the past two years. She didn't expect that it had completely declined.
Harrison looked at Georgina with a smile. "Seter Alley has come to an end, but the real classic and delicious snacks can stand the test of time. If you want to eat them, I can take you to the streets and alleys to look for them. We'll definitely find them."
There was a glimmer of light in Georgina's eyes as she looked at Harrison. It was as if a crack had appeared in her closed heart, and a ray of light shone through.
"Ahem … If you don't mind, I can come along." Kenneth couldn't help but cough softly to emphasize his presence.
Georgina looked away with a blush on her face. She lowered her eyes slightly and didn't say anything else.
"If you're willing to come, Uncle, that's not a problem." Harrison wasn't embarrassed at all. However, it was indeed a little inappropriate to flirt with a girl in front of her father.
However, Miss Georgina smiled and talked to him. She even ordered a serving of Mapo Tofu. At least it was a good start.
Now, he was more worried about whether Mr. Mak's Mapo Tofu was good enough. After all, the savory tofu pudding had already been rejected. Whether the first bite of Mapo Tofu could capture her heart and make her unable to put down her chopsticks was the most important thing.
The short silence was broken by the dishes that were served on the table.
"Here are your dishes. Please enjoy."
Yabemiya placed the dishes on the table one by one, and then left with a smile.
Meanwhile, Georgina's gaze was already attracted by the spicy Mapo Tofu in front of her.
On a white porcelain plate, small pieces of tofu were wrapped in a bright red broth. It was red and white, with golden meat stuffing sprinkled on top. Then, a handful of green onions were sprinkled on top. The bright color made one full of appetite.
I don't want to eat it. I just want to prove that I'm right … That's all! Georgina kept telling herself in her heart.
However, that spicy and fresh aroma drifted over along with the hot steam, continuously tempting her.
Her long-suppressed appetite was like a spring bamboo that was ready to move. Under the impact of this aroma, it actually showed signs of loosening.
Her psychological resistance to food was actually so weak and unstable in the face of his attack.
"The color is quite vibrant, and the spiciness is already wafting over. Compared to the tofu pudding, the shape of this tofu is more firm, but this flavor …" Harrison looked at Georgina with a smile, and said, "Miss Georgina, why don't we taste it together? Let's see who guessed correctly."
"I'm only going to try one bite," Georgina said with a serious expression. Then, she picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of Mapo Tofu.
The small cubes of tofu had sharp edges and corners, and they were wrapped in a thick golden red sauce. The golden meat stuffing and green onions were embellished on top of the tofu pudding, creating an extremely enticing sight to behold.
Georgina gulped, and a hint of anticipation welled up in her heart.
This was a very peculiar feeling. The last time she had felt anticipation for food, and even a little impatience, was around two years ago.
During the past two years, there had been almost no food that could pique her interest.
Perhaps it was because the aroma of this Mapo Tofu was simply too enticing, or perhaps it was because the person sitting across from her had warmed her heart and stomach, making her feel that there were still some beautiful things in this world.
Georgina blew on the tofu pudding, and when she felt that it was about to cool down, she placed it into her mouth.
Hot!!!
As soon as the tofu entered her mouth, Georgina's first reaction was that it was scalding.
Perhaps the surface of the tofu had cooled down a little, but the inside of the tofu still maintained its freshly baked temperature, which made her shudder.
She resisted the urge to spit out the tofu in her mouth, and opened her mouth slightly to take a few breaths so that the temperature would drop slightly.
At this moment, the taste of the Mapo Tofu truly began to appear.
The tender tofu melted in her mouth, and the meat stuffing melted in her mouth.
Numbness, spiciness, freshness, fragrance, and crispness instantly burst forth in her mouth, making her taste buds that had just been stimulated by the hot tofu pudding completely fall for it.
Her sluggish taste buds had not tasted anything for a long time, and she was completely caught off guard, so she was subjected to the most violent impact. Furthermore, it was one round after another, and there was no way for her to stop.
"Ah ~"
Georgina, who was squinting her eyes slightly, could not help but let out a soft moan.
