When Shi Qian walked out of the shower, she smelled food.
She looked at the table. There were a few takeout boxes with the restaurant’s label on them.
“It just arrived.” Fu Sinian opened the lid and smelled it.
This was a smell she had never smelled before. It felt appetizing.
Seeing this delicious food, Shi Qian felt much less depressed.
Fu Sinian eagerly opened all the packaging.
These were all the shop’s signature dishes and Shi Qian’s favorites. After taking a shower, she felt even hungrier. She sat at the table and picked up her chopsticks.
“What kind of dish is this?” Fu Sinian looked at the mixed dishes and asked uncertainly.
He had always been very picky about food. Even if there were social engagements, there were only a few places to eat at, so he had never tasted these delicacies that the rest of the world ate.
Shi Qian really believed that he didn’t know what this dish was.
“This is called Malatang. It’s a popular delicacy.”
“You can find it in Beijing too?”
“Every city has it, but the taste is slightly different. This is made with chili powder. It’s made with local specialty powder. It tastes a little different from others. Try it.”
Shi Qian pushed a portion of sour and spicy noodles to Fu Sinian.
Fu Sinian first sniffed it before trying it.
The texture was indeed a little strong for him.
Besides, the oil and spiciness were unacceptable to him.
He stopped after a bite.
Opposite him, Shi Qian ate mouthful after mouthful, as if she was tasting the most delicious thing in the world.
After eating half a bowl, Shi Qian put down her chopsticks.
After filling her stomach, her expression softened. She picked up the lemonade beside her and took a sip to suppress the spiciness.
“This restaurant’s spicy and sour noodles are a perfect match for lemonade! How do you know how to match them like this?” Shi Qian looked up and asked Fu Sinian.
“I ordered it casually.” Fu Sinian didn’t say that Chen Song had ordered it.
He could not let Qian Qian know about what he had just done.
“If you’re not used to the taste of this hot and sour noodles, you can eat Malatang. If it really doesn’t suit your taste, see what’s on the hotel’s menu.”
“This will do.” Fu Sinian immediately picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
Shi Qian ate a mouthful of Malatang and lemonade in satisfaction.
“There’s a little too much food today. You didn’t eat much. There’s bound to be leftovers. I’ve never dared to order so much before.”
“Forget it if you can’t finish it,” Fu Sinian said slowly.
“If you can eat more, there wouldn’t be any left.”
“I’ll try my best.” Fu Sinian wanted to put down his chopsticks, but when he heard Shi Qian’s words, he picked them up again.
He had just glanced at the receipt. The food added up to less than two hundred yuan. It turned out that a meal could be so cheap.
In the past, there would be a period of time when he would get Jin An to park the car in a lively street market. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, he thought that that was the life of an ordinary person.
More than once, he wondered what it would be like if his surname was not Fu and he was just a child from an ordinary family.
It was not until he and Shi Qian arrived in this small city that he realized that what he had seen in the past was not the life of an ordinary person. This place was more real.
This was human life.
Shi Qian had given it to him. He felt the vitality of humanity now.
In the end, Fu Sinian finished the rest, including the sour and spicy noodles.
Shi Qian looked at him in shock.
She had never seen him eat so much at once!
