At noon, Xie Jiang's family joyfully entered the restaurant.
Chen Yu had already instructed Han Cai to nicely decorate private room number one.
Once Xie Jiang's family settled in, Chen Yu called for Han Cai to serve the dishes.
"Ya Ya," Chen Yu suddenly called out.
Tong Ya's ears perked up instantly, like a little girl who had just eaten candy, bouncing over to the display window.
"What is it, husband?"
Chen Yu handed out a clay pot, "This is a medicinal dish I made on the side for my dad, it should help with his rheumatism, take it to him and have him rest a while."
Tong Ya responded coquettishly and carried the clay pot over to Chen Guang.
At that moment, Su Rui also cautiously leaned to the serving window.
"Brother-in-law?"
Chen Yu looked up abruptly, "Miss Su, what's the matter?"
"I was wondering if you can make Sichuan dumplings?" seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Chen Yu nodded, "Of course, can you eat spicy?"
"Yes, the spicier the better, especially with red chili oil," Su Rui quickly replied.
Because she needed to maintain her figure, her agent and assistant strictly controlled her diet.
Things like noodles, sweets, and even spicy food were off-limits to her.
Even this morning, while having seasoned food, she only managed to eat half a bowl of noodles and four ounces of food under her assistant's strict supervision.
She had been craving these Sichuan dumplings with red chili oil for a long time, the last time she ate them was while filming in Sichuan.
Without another word, Chen Yu immediately picked up a bowl and started mixing.
For today's birthday banquet for Xie Jiang, he had prepared Sichuan dumplings, so he had bought extra dumpling wrappers.
Adding to that the ready-made marinade in the store, mixed together would make the taste even better.
In just two minutes, a dish of Sichuan dumplings with red chili oil was already at the window.
Su Rui's eyes were filled with excitement; without hesitation, she grabbed a pair of chopsticks and started devouring them.
Just then, the young assistant burst in from outside.
"Rui Sister! Your next movie is about to start shooting, you're currently controlling your figure, you can't eat these things."
Su Rui, clenching her teeth, turned around and without any regard, stuffed the dumplings into her mouth.
This was, without a doubt, the most delicious Sichuan dumplings she had ever had in her life, to hell with maintaining her figure!
In almost three or five bites, Su Rui had swallowed the entire bowl of dumplings.
In her flustered state, she got her mouth and face covered with red oil, completely disregarding the image of a big star.
"I'm just eating a bowl of dumplings, what's the big deal? It's not like it's the end of the world!"
As she spoke, Su Rui returned the bowl and chopsticks to Chen Yu and also said thank you.
The little assistant became upset, standing with hands on her hips and glaring fiercely at Chen Yu.
"What are you doing? If my family's Rui Sister ruins her figure, can you take responsibility? Don't you know she's supposed to be the heroine in her next film..."
Before she could finish, another bowl of Sichuan dumplings with red chili oil was presented.
Chen Yu glanced at the assistant and then made a welcoming gesture.
The fragrant smell instantly made the assistant lose her reason, her throat involuntarily swallowing.
After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but pick up a pair of chopsticks and take a bite.
The anger on her face vanished in an instant, and she ate the dumplings in her hand as clean as Su Rui did.
"So delicious!" The little assistant said, her facial expression extremely exaggerated, almost as if she would cry, "Boss, could I have another bowl please?"
Chen Yu shook his head, "I didn't prepare much today, next time!"
Su Rui wiped the red oil from the corner of her mouth and suddenly adopted a relentless demeanor.
"Someone here ate the red oil wontons with me and will have to explain to the talent agency if they ask. That person better have an excuse ready."
The assistant at this moment didn't care about this at all and just stared blankly at the empty bowl in their hands.
"This tastes just like the wontons my mom used to make!"
Just then, Tang Xiaowei hurriedly arrived at the shop.
Yesterday, Chen Yu had sent her a message asking if she could help paint a few more murals for the shop when she had time.
But the moment Tang Xiaowei stepped through the door, she suddenly let out a shriek, and then excitedly rushed forward to grab Su Rui's hand.
"Su Rui! What brings you here?"
Su Rui gestured toward the kitchen behind her: "Of course, I was attracted by the deliciousness here!"
"What a coincidence, I was originally attracted here by the deliciousness too."
While they were talking, Chen Yu pushed a clay pot out from the display window and deftly lifted the lid.
"Xiaowei, this is the hot and sour fish with tomatoes that you ordered yesterday!"
Tang Xiaowei's eyes immediately lit up. Ever since Tang Long dragged her back, she hadn't had the chance to eat anything from Chen Yu's place for a long time.
Especially after hearing from Tong Ya that Chen Yu could cook Sichuan cuisine, she had been restless for several days.
"Brother Yu, reliable as always, you really prepared it for me!"
Chen Yu cracked a smile: "For the staple, go get it yourself from Chu Hong over there."
"Alright!"
Tang Xiaowei acknowledged and went straight to Chu Hong to get two bowls of noodles.
"Su Rui, have you eaten? Do you want to join me for some?"
"Yes!" Su Rui's taste buds had been completely conquered by Chen Yu.
The assistant beside her finally snapped out of it and quickly stepped forward to pull her back.
"Su Rui, you've already had a bowl of wontons, you can't eat any more."
Su Rui didn't care about that: "It's sour and spicy, it stimulates the appetite and won't make you fat!"
With that, she took a bowl of noodles directly from Tang Xiaowei and scooped up a spoonful of the tomato fish.
But seeing that Su Rui had no intention of leaving, and after finishing her meal, she actually started painting murals on the wall alongside Tang Xiaowei.
Chen Yu keenly sensed that Su Rui might want to delay her time here for some reason.
However, he didn't intervene, after all, Su Rui was Tong Ya's childhood friend, and it wasn't his place to say much.
At three in the afternoon, the old man from the park came to the shop, leaning on his crutch.
Chen Yu quickly served up the prepared medicinal cuisine to him.
"Sir, this will only help to improve your condition, you will still need to adjust your body after this."
The old man didn't care about that; ever since he fell ill, he had always lacked appetite, but now smelling the medicinal cuisine in front of him, he felt his appetite surge.
He grasped the chopsticks and devoured the food hungrily.
When the last spoonful of soup was finished, beads of sweat had formed on the old man's forehead, and he seemed much more invigorated.
"That was refreshing! Young Chen, your cooking is unparalleled, and your skill in healing is just as extraordinary! I feel so much lighter now."
With that, the old man reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of money.
"How much do I owe you? I'll pay you!"
Chen Yu frowned slightly. To tell the truth, the herbs and ingredients used in this medicinal dish were very affordable.
The total cost didn't even amount to fifty yuan.
"No need, sir, I just happened to make you a meal!"
"No, I insist!" The old man was stubborn and pushed the whole wad of money into Chen Yu's hand.
