As the two of them were walking, the sound of drums and gongs and very loud firecrackers suddenly rang out in front of them.
Murong Ying immediately quickened his footsteps to walk in front of Zhong Ming.
What are you doing up ahead?" On the other hand, Murong Ying was very excited. After all, she lived in a metropolis, and lived in a high-class house. She ate in an American restaurant, as she had only seen places with very obvious Chinese characteristics on TV before. but it's very rare to see it.
At this point, it was still unclear what was in front of him. It seemed to be the opening of some kind of shop. The balloon with the design of a big red lantern flew high into the air, and the red cloth strips below danced in the wind.
"You'll know when you go and take a look." Although Zhong Ming could clearly see what was in front of him, but since he was going over, he didn't have to bother to explain a lot to Murong Ying.
As they approached, a tavern that was well decorated but had a very profound sense of time appeared in front of Zhong Ming and Murong Ying.
At this time, the gong was shaking and the next moment, the waiters wearing ancient clothing were standing on top of a large rock next to the restaurant and shouting, trying to recruit customers.
The outside of the restaurant was entirely made up of top-grade Nan Mu. After all, the inside of the restaurant had experienced many years, so it was supported by red brick. However, the inside of the restaurant was only improved and didn't lose its original feeling.
The restaurant was divided into two floors. Entering the interior of the restaurant was like stepping into passages from ancient costume movies. As long as one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see the red brick supports of the walls.
It was as if he was transported back to the ancient era. All the tables were made of pure wood, and they were all of good wood, not like the ones you see on the market today. The exterior looked like it was made of wood, and the patterns were all very beautiful, but that was only a beautiful design. You didn't know what was inside, or what was inside, or whether it was made of wood chips pressed together, you wouldn't be able to see it.
The two walked into the restaurant. A waiter with a round hair bun on his head and a white cloth over his shoulder walked in front of the two and sat down at his table.
At this moment, there were already a lot of people in the lobby of the restaurant. Almost all the tables were full, so noisy that it felt like a hero coming to the restaurant in ancient times to drink and eat big mouthfuls of meat.
"What would you like to eat?" The child's face was full of enthusiasm. He skillfully took his white towel from his shoulder and wiped it on the table once more.
The two of them were seated on the second floor, so they had a panoramic view of everything on the first floor. Murong Ying didn't even have the time to eat, he only had a childish look in his eyes.
This restaurant gave off a very novel feeling. Even if one didn't eat, it would be very interesting to sit here for a while.
"Take out your menus!" Zhong Ming said indifferently. Then, he turned towards Murong Ying and asked, "Do you want to eat cold powder here or not?"
Although he had never eaten cold powder before, how could it be more fun than here?
"Let's eat here! "I'll eat cold powder or something else next time!" Murong Ying answered straightforwardly.
Zhong Ming, on the other hand, was speechless, as if he had unknowingly wanted to invite Murong Ying one more time. Alright, no matter what, since Murong Ying had helped him so much, and since he was a girl, a meal or two didn't count for much.
Sigh, every time I am with Murong Ying, I am always this passive. I wonder what kind of magic the little girl has?
It seemed that at the same time his charm increased, his resistance towards girls did not increase.
The two of them ordered a beef mince, a braised chicken, a cucumber with vinegar, and a lotus leaf rice. There were all kinds of meat and vegetables that were unique to the restaurant. After ordering the dishes, the two of them sat by the table and looked at the surroundings of the restaurant.
Although it was not a private room, the table area between the two was quite quiet and there was not the noise of people entering and exiting. The two expressed their satisfaction.
While the two of them were waiting for the dishes to arrive, the restaurant was already packed to the brim. In just a few minutes, Zhong Ming and Murong Ying came in. The speed at which he was recruiting guests was astonishing.
Zhong Ming's hearing was very good, and at this time, a few people's conversation attracted his attention.
"This restaurant has been here for so many years. It's finally opened up again."
"Now that it's opened, it's truly a blessing in disguise!"
"I heard that it was the descendants of Mr. Wei's family that came to make a name for themselves."
"Really?" I don't know about anything else. I only know that the dishes in this restaurant have a body strengthening effect. Back then, my great grandfather had nothing better to do and came here to eat.
"What kind of joke is this?"
"Who's joking with you! "At first, I didn't believe it, but later on, I confirmed with my grandfather that my grandfather said that my great-grandfather used to be a rich and wealthy young man …"
"Tsk, then how did you become like this?"
Hearing this, the surrounding people started to jeer at him.
"What cut? What I said was true! My great-grandfather was a famous rich young man back then, from birth until now he was weak and sickly, constantly having medicine cans, and lived to the age of 20. Originally, he had a chance to eat a meal here from a stone room ditto, but as long as you say it's not strange, you've identified this place and said the food here has a special aroma. From now on, I have to eat all the food here. Just like this, my great-grandfather ate less and less medicine, and his health was also better. Afterwards, my great-grandfather got rid of the medicine jar! Until the moment of death, his body will always be strong and sturdy! "
"You are not the hotel's servant, are you? How much will I give you? Why are you saying all this in such a strange manner! "
"That's right, what is so magical?"
Immediately, everyone at the table began to talk about all sorts of things. Although they didn't really believe it, they were constantly asking about what happened afterwards.
"I heard that the restaurant was opened nearly a hundred years ago, but later on, there were changes to the country. That period of time was rather turbulent, and for some reason, it was closed until now."
"This Wei Yi is the owner of this restaurant, and Wei Bufan's descendant. I don't know who he is, but I can see that he is quite bold. It would be good if he could start his own family's business again!"
"The dishes are coming. The dishes are coming!"
At this moment, the few of them saw the arrival of the dishes and no longer said anything. They immediately picked up their chopsticks and prepared to taste the cooking skills of this legendary restaurant.
"Zhong Ming!"
A pair of white, tender hands like spring onions waved in front of Zhong Ming's eyes. Zhong Ming regained his senses as he cried out to himself.
Who would have thought that she would meet the extremely blaming gaze of a pretty face on the other side?
Murong Ying didn't know how depressed he was right now. He knew that his scolding couldn't be considered a great beauty and wasn't considered number one, but it was also very attractive for boys. Why did it become ineffective for Zhong Ming?
To think that he had misunderstood that Zhong Ming was trying to take advantage of him. It hadn't even been a short while, yet the other party was distracted even though a great beauty was already sitting opposite of him? The most irritating thing was that the other person was not distracted because of his own beauty, which made Murong Ying even more furious.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Ming was a little stupefied when he saw Murong Ying's furious expression.
In the midst of Zhong Ming's confusion, his beautiful and charming face grew closer and closer, and then, an extremely soft and fragrant smell rushed into his nose, and a soft and tender sensation spread from his face.
Zhong Ming's entire person felt an extremely overbearing current of electricity flow from his face to his entire body, causing his heartbeat to accelerate.
Had he been kissed?
Zhong Ming had yet to react. Although he had come into contact with some girls before, he had never done anything like this. This feeling was just too good!
"Do you like me?"
At this time, Murong Ying's beautiful face was like a ripe red apple, beautiful and alluring, please give it to the troops.
The few simple words that came out of her mouth also seemed to have a special fragrance in her mouth, causing people to reminisce the touch from before.
"The dishes are here!" The dishes are here! " When Zhong Ming saw the dish that the child was carrying towards him, he felt like he had been saved.
There was a saying in the past that a hero would feel sorry for a beauty. This was true. If one let such a beauty stay by his side, the only person who could remain calm would be Chief Eunuch Li Lien-ying.
Zhong Ming is a normal person, and is also a real man who has a greater ability than normal men, it would be false to say that he doesn't feel anything. However, disregarding Murong Ying's background, they aren't that familiar with each other. A beauty like her would probably be able to be made a goddess of any boy, no matter what kind of strength he had, right?
How could she suddenly say that she liked him? It wasn't that Zhong Ming didn't have confidence in her, but rather, there must be demons in the shadows. Zhong Ming thought that there must be another reason behind this.
Seeing that the dishes on the table had all been served, Zhong Ming helped Murong Ying put away the dishes in an extremely gentlemanly manner. However, no one said a word throughout the whole process.
"Let's start eating and have a taste of this shop's craftsmanship." Zhong Ming inadvertently glanced at the table that they were talking to just now. There was no time to continue chatting.
Zhong Ming did not answer, but Murong Ying did not feel anything either. In regards to Murong Ying, she only wanted to test Zhong Ming. Or rather, it could be said that Zhong Ming's lack of respect for her made her want to prove her position in his heart. However, she didn't even get the answer she had anticipated, which was somewhat out of her expectations.
It doesn't matter, Murong Ying did not come for real.
But thinking about his reaction when he kissed Zhong Ming, Murong Ying found it funny.
Continue acting, let's see how long you can keep up the act for! I refuse to believe that there are people who are unwilling to kneel under my skirt.
Thinking about it, Murong Ying also picked up the chopsticks in front of him and took a bite of the vegetables.
"Hrm …"
The vegetables were tender and juicy, plus the skills of cold seasoning. They tasted sweet and refreshing when tasted, causing one to feel that they were extremely tasty.
"It's so delicious!" "His cooking skills are almost as good as my family's chef!" Murong Ying said in surprise.
At this time, Zhong Ming was holding a piece of beef mince into his mouth. Hearing Murong Ying's words, he was even more sure that there was something special in the dishes of this house.
Zhong Ming chewed on the beef mince. The fragrance of the beef and the unique taste of the sauce made him hungry, and he wanted to eat a second piece.
"Not bad indeed!" Zhong Ming's praises were very rare.
The two of them started to eat. Murong Ying was one of the few girls that Zhong Ming had seen, he had never seen this type of girl before.
This was the first time they had met, and because Zhong Ming didn't have any interactions, he directly rejected her invitation. But in the end, this little girl had used her own method to move him, making him accompany her to participate in the Literature Competition. In the factory, there were many things that could help him. Moreover, just her trust in him was enough for him to treat her a little better.
As for the small episode just now, Zhong Ming was sure that this was another scheme by this little girl, she wanted to see him make a fool of himself. This girl's character was too reckless, but her heart was still kind. It was unlike what he had expected.
If he hadn't agreed to help her win the literary competition, she wouldn't have helped him so much.
And the literary competition was not for herself, but for her nephew the principal.
Okay, forgive Zhong Ming when he thought about how his old friend in the principal and his aunt was this beautiful little girl in front of him, but she really didn't want to laugh out loud. The picture must have been beautiful when they appeared together.
As Zhong Ming ate, for some reason, his head unconsciously started to let his imagination run wild.
He suddenly realized that the food on the plate had almost all been eaten by the two men.
Two people and four dishes?
That was a bit against the heavens, wasn't it?
The problem was that Zhong Ming did not feel that he had eaten anything.
How could a girl eat so much?
However, if Zhong Ming knew about the training that Murong Ying had to do at home every day, he probably wouldn't think that Murong Ying ate too much.
The problem was that, before Zhong Ming could eat it, the food was already gone. Zhong Ming was hungry!
"Waiter!" "Order the dishes!" Zhong Ming shouted loudly!
The waiter had a bun wrapped around his head, and a white cloth over his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, but from now on, our restaurant will not serve dishes. There is still a quarter of an hour until the start of the meal. The Great Gastric King Competition will begin immediately!" "If you are not satisfied with your meal, you can give it a try!" The waiter said.
Suddenly, a red paper sign at the entrance of the first floor, with words written in calligraphy pen, attracted the attention of two people.
The words were very large, so even on the second floor, it was still possible to see everything clearly.
Murong Ying read out the contents written on it. We are holding the Great Gastric King Warrior Challenge Competition today.
The Great Gastric King Warrior Challenge Competition?!
