Lu Feng
The fresh meat xiaolongbao were served, and Qin Ye didn't wait for the two to start eating; he picked one up with his own chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"Mm! That's the taste! It really is this young man's culinary skill, fragrant!"
Qin Ye's eyebrows relaxed, a look of satisfaction on his face.
Seeing the happy smile beaming on her grandfather's face, Qin Feiyu couldn't help but feel moved.
After her grandfather retired, his life seemed to suddenly lose its drive.
Perhaps because he had gone hungry when he was young, after retiring, Grandpa became enthusiastic about all kinds of food.
Last month, Grandpa was hospitalized because he ate indiscriminately, which scared the whole family half to death; even her father, who rarely returned home from the Nanfang troops, rushed back overnight to take care of him.
After Grandpa was discharged, before her father left, he repeatedly told her that she must take good care of Grandpa from now on and not let him eat outside food indiscriminately anymore.
From then on, she began to strictly supervise Grandpa's diet.
She often saw Grandpa sitting alone at the counter, sitting for several hours at a time.
In her memory, Grandpa was a very serious person, which was related to his past experiences.
Only in front of her would he occasionally show a bit of a kind look.
Since being forbidden to eat outside food, Grandpa's personality in front of her became like a child's.
Acting coquettish, lying, sneaking out when no one was paying attention...
Almost every method she could think of, Grandpa had tried.
This made her both angry and amused, but for Grandpa's health, she still had to do her supervisory work.
Now seeing Grandpa eating so happily, she suddenly realized that Grandpa hadn't been this happy for a long time.
Perhaps letting Grandpa come here a few times occasionally and indulge a bit wouldn't be a bad thing.
Grandpa was already this old, and this was his only hobby.
If even this hobby was taken away by her, it would indeed be somewhat cruel.
"Xiao Yu, what are you staring at? Try one!" Seeing his granddaughter not moving her chopsticks for a long time, Qin Ye couldn't help but urge her: "Try this xiaolongbao, does it taste a bit like your grandma's?"
Qin Feiyu came back to her senses, picked up her chopsticks, picked up a xiaolongbao, and took a bite.
Mm? This taste...
She couldn't help but widen her eyes; she didn't expect the taste of this xiaolongbao to far exceed her expectations.
"Grandpa! This taste really is a bit like Grandma's... no, I feel it's even more delicious than Grandma's!"
Qin Feiyu couldn't help but exclaim, her tone full of disbelief.
"How is it, did Grandpa lie to you?" Qin Ye smiled smugly, very satisfied with his granddaughter's reaction.
"It's so delicious, no wonder you've been missing this shop." Qin Feiyu was now completely convinced.
"That's good, Xiao Yu, Grandpa sees you've been dieting lately; you've tasted this flavor, so the rest are for Grandpa!"
Qin Ye said, reaching his hand toward the steamer basket in front of Qin Feiyu.
"Grandpa, what are you trying to do?" Qin Feiyu was quick-eyed and quick-handed, tightly guarding the xiaolongbao in front of her with both hands, saying unyieldingly: "You have some yourself, why do you want to eat mine!"
"Grandpa's isn't enough to eat; the taste of this xiaolongbao reminds Grandpa of your grandma; you won't not even leave Grandpa this bit of longing, will you?"
Qin Ye put on a pitiful look, hoping to awaken his granddaughter's filial piety.
"But Grandpa, I miss Grandma too!" Qin Feiyu said righteously: "Don't you remember? When I was young, you doted on me so much; the steamed buns Grandma made, you never fought me for them!"
"You child..."
Seeing his granddaughter not letting go, Qin Ye was suddenly helpless.
Seeing the grandfather and granddaughter fighting over the xiaolongbao, Young Man Li on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Qin Ye, you eat my portion; I'll give you my portion."
"Your portion was originally mine anyway; just eat your fried noodles!" Qin Ye said unhappily.
Young Man Li laughed and cried; just now, when he heard Lu Feng say that xiaolongbao was limited to one portion per person, he already understood in his heart why Grandpa Qin insisted on bringing him and Qin Feiyu here.
Purely to be a tool person,
To eat two more portions of xiaolongbao, he didn't even spare his own people.
I really didn't expect that the always serious old chief would have such an unknown other side.
"The fried noodles are ready!"
Lu Feng walked out of the kitchen, took the plate of fried noodles to the counter, and shouted to Grandpa Qin and them.
"Grandpa Qin, I'm going to get the fried noodles!"
Young Man Li saw the grandfather and granddaughter still standoffing over the xiaolongbao, so he hurriedly stood up and left.
Lu Feng handed the fried noodles to Young Man Li, looking at the scene of the two people at Grandpa Qin's table staring at each other, he asked curiously: "Old Sir, what's the situation today; why do you look a bit angry?"
"Grandpa Qin isn't angry; it's just that Boss's xiaolongbao is too delicious, and the two of them are fighting over them." Young Man Li glanced over there and couldn't help but say with a smile.
Lu Feng couldn't help but laugh too, thinking that Old Sir was really interesting; to eat a few more portions, he even wanted to snatch his granddaughter's.
It seems that old people also have a cute side.
They say old children, old children; it should be referring to people like Old Sir.
Young Man Li carried the fried noodles back to his seat; along the way, the aroma of the fried noodles made him drool.
"Grandpa Qin, the fried noodles are ready; can I eat?"
With delicious fried noodles before him, Young Man Li really wanted to pick up his chopsticks and eat immediately, but since Grandpa Qin was there, he still had to report first.
Grandpa Qin nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed on the xiaolongbao in front of Qin Feiyu.
After receiving permission, Little Li impatiently picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a large clump of fried noodles, and put them in his mouth.
A deliciousness he had never experienced before spread through Little Li's mouth like a tide.
The perfectly seasoned fried noodles, combined with the texture of eggs crispy outside and tender inside, and the fresh sweetness of the vegetables, collided in his mouth to create an unparalleled wonderful flavor.
The strong taste stimulation made Little Li let out a satisfied exclamation involuntarily, and he began to eat in large mouthfuls without caring about his appearance.
Little Li swore that he had never eaten such delicious fried noodles in his entire life!
On this side, Master Qin was attracted by Little Li's exaggerated eating manner, his nose twitched twice, and he smelled the fragrance of the fried noodles.
Watching Little Li's wolfing-down appearance, Master Qin's gaze finally moved away from the steamed buns, and Qin Feiyu's gaze also fell on the fried noodles Little Li was eating.
Little Li, whose head was somewhat addled by the deliciousness, completely failed to notice the gazes of the grandfather and grandson, and continued eating as if he had forgotten himself.
"Cough cough, Little Li."
Master Qin finally couldn't help it, coughed once to attract his attention.
Little Li then came back to his senses, still holding a large mouthful of noodles in his mouth, his cheeks puffed out, and asked indistinctly: "What's wrong, Master Qin?"
"Your fried noodles..."
Little Li's appearance when eating fried noodles just now had made Master Qin hungry, so he couldn't help but point at the fried noodles and ask.
"Master Qin..." Little Li looked somewhat surprised, forced the fried noodles in his mouth down, the hand holding his chopsticks involuntarily shrank back, looking very unnatural: "I've already eaten this fried noodles."
"Who wants to eat what you've already eaten!" Master Qin rolled his eyes unhappily: "I'm asking you, is this fried noodles delicious or not!"
"Delicious!" Little Li nodded vigorously.
Smelling the aroma of the fried noodles, Master Qin also felt a bit itchy in his heart.
He didn't really like eating fried noodles, thinking they were too oily, and felt sick after a few bites.
But this portion of fried noodles in front of Little Li had not a single drop of oil visible on the distinct noodle strands, yet smelled so fragrant, the more he smelled it the more addictive it became.
This fried noodles was made by Lu Feng, his steamed buns were so delicious, presumably the taste of this fried noodles was probably not ordinary either.
Master Qin couldn't help but also want to taste the flavor of this fried noodles, so he said: "Then go buy me a portion to taste."
"I want one too!" Qin Feiyu followed closely and said.
