Chapter 137



137 Spring Roll

Just from the size and decor, it was obvious that the cost of this restaurant was not low.

Yu Niaoniao sat down at the table, feeling very happy. Fortunately, someone was treating her this time. She did not have to worry about the price and could eat boldly!

She first pretended to ask Duke Lang what he wanted to eat. Was there anything she should avoid?

Xiao Juan said calmly, “You can just order.”

This meant that Yu Niaoniao could order whatever she wanted. Yu Niaoniao instantly felt happier.

In this era, there was no menu. It was all up to the waiter to announce the dishes.

The clerk was terrified when he saw the Eagle Guards. His legs and stomach trembled.

Fortunately, he was a professional. He endured his fear and finished reporting the dishes with a trembling voice.

What surprised Yu Niaoniao was that this restaurant actually had stir-fried dishes!

It had to be known that most of the cooking methods were stewed. It was the same for restaurants. It was rare to see stir-fried dishes.

With stir-fry, there were even more dishes to choose from.

Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui discussed and decided to order all the signature dishes of this restaurant.

Soon, the dishes were served. There were more than twenty dishes, filling the entire table.

Yu Niaoniao picked up a shiny duck leg and placed it in Duke Lang’s bowl. She smiled obsequiously.

“Please enjoy, Your Highness.”

Only when Xiao Juan moved his chopsticks did Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui dare to eat.

Dang Gui said as she ate, “This donkey meat is delicious and especially tender!”

“This rabbit meat is good too!”

The two of them ate with relish. The chopsticks in their hands seemed to be dancing.

In comparison, Xiao Juan was indifferent.

After all, he had no interest in restaurant food. Once he finished eating the rice in his bowl, he put down his chopsticks.

He barely touched the dishes on the table.

Yu Niaoniao held a pancake in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other. She picked up some vegetables and placed them into the pancake. She smeared some sauce on it and rolled it up before handing it to Duke Lang.

“Try this spring roll. It’s quite delicious.”

Xiao Juan took the spring roll and tasted it.

There were several types of vegetables inside. With sauce, the taste was very rich, but it was also very refreshing.

Yu Niaoniao rolled up a spring roll for herself and ate as she spoke.

“In the past, when I was in Bashu, my mother often made me spring rolls to eat. The pancake skin she made was especially thin, and the sauce she mixed was even better. It was a delicacy I would never have eaten anywhere else.”

She looked wistful as she spoke.

If only she could eat Mother’s spring rolls again…

Xiao Juan praised, “The spring rolls you rolled are also delicious.”

Yu Niaoniao ate the spring roll in her hand and said vaguely.

“It’s different.”

No matter how delicious her dishes were, they did not taste as good as her mother’s.

Yu Niaoniao took the opportunity to ask.

“Did Your Highness eat anything delicious when you were young?”

Xiao Juan’s gaze became strange.

It was a long time before he spoke.

“No.”

Yu Niaoniao was in disbelief. “Didn’t you eat any delicacies when you were young? That’s impossible, right? You’re so noble. You should have eaten a lot of delicious food.”

Xiao Juan did not want to discuss his past, and his expression became exceptionally cold.

“Are you guys done? If you are, leave.”

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly said, “Not yet!”

She didn’t waste any more time chatting and continued to eat.

No matter how much she and Dang Gui ate, they could not finish so many dishes.

Dang Gui hated wasting food the most and immediately said.

“I’ll pack them up and take them back. We can have another meal tonight.”

Yu Niaoniao agreed.

Xiao Juan’s lips curled down slightly.

He had not eaten Yu Niaoniao’s personally cooked dishes for a day.

He had thought that he would be able to eat it tonight, but he did not expect Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui to bring the leftovers back.
