Hearing Qin Chu's words, Huo Mien was indeed a little hungry. His stomach rumbled.
Huo Mien followed Qin Chu into the simple wooden house.
As expected, there were already two dishes on the square wooden table.
One was a big bowl of fish, and the other was stir-fried wild vegetables.
Then, Auntie Wang brought in two bowls of fragrant rice.
"President Qin, the fish just came out of the pot. It's very hot. You and your friend should be careful."
"Okay."
Qin Chu nodded and sat across from Huo Mien.
"This fish can only be eaten here. It's Auntie Wang's specialty," Qin Chu said as he picked up a big piece of white fish and placed it in Huo Mien's bowl.
Hearing Qin Chu's praise, Auntie Wang smiled innocently. "My ancestor was a chef who cooked for a high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty. That official liked to eat fish, so my ancestor changed his cooking method. Just for fish alone, our Wang Family knows 107 recipes."
"One hundred and seven … um …" Huo Mian was a bit surprised, finding it shocking.
Maybe it was because he hadn't eaten anything good before. Usually, he only ate steamed, boiled, braised, boiled, spicy stewed, and sweet and sour.
"Among the hundred or so recipes, this is the best. It's a secret recipe of our Wang Family. Young lady, try it."
Hearing her words, Huo Mien was also very interested.
He picked up the fish, put it in his mouth, and tasted it.
Sure enough, the fish was smooth and tender. Not only was it fragrant, but after swallowing, there was a slightly spicy taste in his mouth.
It was different from all the fish he had eaten before. It was mainly fresh.
"Is it good?" Qin Chu asked her.
"Yeah, it's super good." Huo Mien smiled.
Qin Chu didn't say anything. He lowered his head and scooped a bowl of fish soup for Huo Mien.
"It's a little spicy. Drink it slowly."
"Okay, I won't stand on ceremony. I'll definitely eat more. You don't have to be so busy … Eat your own food."
After Huo Mien finished speaking, he picked up the bowl of rice and really didn't hold back.
After all, since they were already here, they had to eat their fill.
Huo Mien didn't have the bashfulness that girls usually had.
In her eyes, eating and sleeping well was the way to go.
This bowl of piping hot fresh fish, paired with the specialty wild vegetables, made Huo Mian feel a sense of happiness that she hadn't felt in a long time.
In fact, she ate well at home, and her mother never mistreated her and Zhixin.
His mother's culinary skills were excellent, especially when it came to handmade dumplings.
However, the fish still aroused Huo Mien's appetite.
Soon, the small bowl of rice was emptied …
"Auntie Wang, I want another bowl."
"Let me help you."
"No need, I'll go by myself." Huo Mien stood up with a smile, not treating himself as an outsider.
"It's in the pot in the kitchen." Auntie Wang saw that the little girl was quite generous and smiled.
Huo Mien walked to the kitchen door with the bowl of rice in her hand. Suddenly, she remembered something.
She turned around and asked Qin Chu, "Do you want some? I'll bring you some?"
Qin Chu: "…"
Qin Chu didn't seem to understand what Huo Mien meant and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Huo Mien turned around and went in.
She filled her bowl to the brim.
Then, she filled half of the rice and put it on top of the bowl, as if it would fall off at any moment.
She carefully returned to the table.
Before Qin Chu could say anything, she used her chopsticks and scooped the extra rice into Qin Chu's bowl …
This action instantly froze Qin Chu.
This was because he had never eaten like this in the past ten years or so.
The Qin family was very disciplined when it came to eating. Everyone ate their own food. Qin Chu's father had always been thrifty, so no one left any food behind.
However, this was the first time that he had scooped food from someone else's bowl into his own bowl.
He was a clean freak … but he didn't stop Huo Mien in time.
