Chapter 383

~7 min read 1,334 words

Looking at the "Century Egg and Lean Meat Porridge" in front of her, Minezaki was originally a bit unconvinced, but when she smelled the fragrance emitted in the air, her stomach growled again.

Looking at the spoon Wen Shengzai handed over, Minezaki hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to take it, and scooped up a spoonful of white porridge like white jade and sent it into her mouth.

The moment the porridge was sent into her mouth, the lean meat stewed until soft and rotten, the century egg that emitted a salty fragrance, and the green onion flowers that enhanced freshness, all kinds of tastes combined together and instantly exploded in her mouth.

Compared to the "Stir-fried Vegetarian Beef with Scallions" that gave her the feeling of being unbound and full of freedom and enthusiasm before, this "Century Egg and Lean Meat Porridge" gave Minezaki another unforgettable taste.

The moment she swallowed the porridge, Minezaki only felt that she was tightly hugged by an extremely warm embrace.

In this warm embrace, she seemed to remember the back of her mother who would rather be cold and frozen in the freezing winter when she was a child, just to block the wind and snow for her.

As long as she was in her mother's embrace, no matter how bitter or tired, Minezaki felt that she could endure everything!

Why did she always want to climb up hard? Wasn't it because they had been dependent on each other since she was a child, so she had always been looked down upon by others?

While eating porridge, Minezaki also started to cry, and the action of scooping porridge with her hand became faster and faster, so soon, a bowl of "Century Egg and Lean Meat Porridge" that was not small in portion was eaten by Minezaki like this.

Seeing Minezaki's expression of wanting more, Wen Shengzai simply brought out the clay pot from the kitchen.

And when seeing the porridge in the clay pot, Minezaki didn't wait for Wen Shengzai to do it, and directly picked up the large spoon on the side and refilled herself a bowl.

Because she saw Minezaki eating very happily, and Wen Shengzai hadn't eaten anything tonight, he just wanted to have a bowl for himself, but he was immediately met with Minezaki's strong behavior of protecting food.

"These are all mine! How can there be a chef who snatches food from a customer..."

"No, you've already drunk three bowls. Even if you can eat, you can't eat this whole pot, right?

I haven't eaten anything tonight? Just have a bowl to cushion my stomach."

Minezaki also knew that ordinary customers order dishes, at most a bowl, how can they serve a whole pot?

And Wen Shengzai didn't make her "Stir-fried Vegetarian Beef with Scallions," but made such "Century Egg and Lean Meat Porridge." Minezaki also felt the meaning Wen Shengzai wanted to express in the dish.

Minezaki knew she shouldn't push her luck, but the taste of this porridge was really too fascinating for her.

"Then you can only serve one bowl, absolutely not more, the rest are mine!"

Seeing Minezaki protecting food, although Wen Shengzai was scolding her, his heart was also slightly relieved.

It seems that in this world, the power of cuisine is indeed very powerful, and it can indeed bring happiness to people. The aura of death in Minezaki's body has dissipated, and he can therefore rest assured.

"It's full! It's full! The portion of porridge you served is too full! It's completely different from the portion you served me just now."

"Less nonsense, if you make noise again, I won't give it to you.

I'm a man, so I naturally have to eat more. Why are you, a woman, able to eat more than me!"

The whole pot of porridge Wen Shengzai boiled in the clay pot was originally boiled for two people, but now almost eighty percent of it went into the stomach of this woman Minezaki, and this guy even complained that Wen Shengzai ate too much. Can this be tolerated?

It was the same when eating meat dishes last time. Minezaki's figure looked unusually slim, but who knows why this guy can eat so much.

Where did the nutrition from this eating go...

Wen Shengzai originally just wanted to complain, but soon his peripheral vision caught Minezaki's chest, and he instantly understood where the nutrition went.

After being full of wine and food, Minezaki, who was haggard before, was now radiant, and the aura of twilight before was completely gone, looking like a person full of hope for life again.

After eating almost a whole pot of porridge, Minezaki also quickly took out the card on her body and pushed it to Wen Shengzai: "This is all my current assets, although I don't know if it's enough to pay for your culinary fees, but if it's not enough, I will find a way to pay it back later.

Thank you for the dish you made for me, letting me regain hope for life. My mother suffered so much for me, I can't let her be sad for me anymore."

Hearing what Minezaki said, Wen Shengzai pushed the card the other party pushed over back, and said: "This meal is on me, and I also said just now that this porridge was originally prepared by me for dinner tonight, and it's not worth much money.

What are your plans next? With your outstanding external conditions and ability, I believe you can definitely find a better job soon."

Hearing Wen Shengzai's comfort, Minezaki also showed a smile. Although because of Wen Shengzai's dish, she regained confidence, but only she knew that because of this incident, her reputation in the industry had long been ruined by the company.

Because she wanted to climb up as quickly as possible before, she did offend many people, and this time her boss took the opportunity to splash a lot of dirty water on her. It's not a simple matter for her to find a job again.

But looking at Wen Shengzai's immature face, which was much younger than her, Minezaki also knew that she shouldn't complain about these things in front of a teenager.

Since the other party didn't take her culinary fees, she couldn't eat and drink for nothing. Looking at the table that hadn't been cleaned up, Minezaki got up and wanted to clean up for Wen Shengzai, but when she picked up the clay pot on the table, she found a few handwritten flyers underneath.

The flyers were handwritten by Wen Shengzai himself, and the general content was about recruiting shop assistants, because the business in the shop had been exploding recently, and Wen Shengzai had to be a chef and a waiter, which was really a bit overwhelming.

Before, the restaurant was headed by Aunt Wenren Aunt Wenren Qingying, and Wen Shengzai would help out when he had nothing to do, and also act as a waiter.

Now the business is better than before, even if his physical fitness is improved, he is indeed a bit flustered when he does all the work in the shop alone.

And when she inadvertently saw these recruitment flyers, Minezaki also looked at Wen Shengzai in front of her with bright eyes and asked: "Are you recruiting waiters in your shop?"

Wen Shengzai, who had just turned around, was surprised when he heard Minezaki's inquiry and saw her happy expression: "Don't tell me you want to..."

Minezaki: (o^^o)

"But you should have been a high-level executive in real estate before, right? You should be considered a successful person in society. I'm just looking for a waiter now, and with our small restaurant, I can't give you a high salary..."

The recruitment flyers were indeed written by Wen Shengzai. He originally planned to stick them out tomorrow, but didn't expect them to be seen by Minezaki, and the other party seemed to be very interested.
