I survive by acting like a spoiled child [food]

Xu Yancheng never felt that there was any problem with what he said or did.

Compared with those dandies around him, Xu Yancheng is law-abiding, pure, kind and friendly, he is simply a good young man.

It's a pity that in some respects, he is as arrogant as an ignorant bastard.

Ruan Tang licked his lips, he opened his mouth to refute Xu Yancheng, but slowly frowned, "Xu Yancheng, do you think you're humorous?" He looked up at Xu Yancheng and said seriously.

"I'm just telling you the truth. It's not good to follow Lu Yunxiao. Li Ying is a brainless, jealous woman. When she secures her position as the mistress of the Lu family, she won't have a place for you. Why don't you... cast another Ming lord?"

Xu Yancheng spoke softly.

It's just that the utter frivolity between the words is like a needle.

If Ruan Tang was really a vase relying on Lu Yunxiao, even if he had a little bit of self-esteem, he would be tortured to the point of bleeding by that needle.

It's a pity that Ruan Tang didn't rely entirely on Lu Yunxiao from the beginning.

Ruan Tian has a joint venture with Lu Yunxiao, but most of the funds and technology are provided by Ruan Tang himself. He is confident and works hard. Lu Yunxiao stood by his side and gave him support and encouragement, but he did not look down upon or despise him at all. .

Xu Yan's achievements are completely different.

He seems to be giving a helping hand, but he is aloof, hoping to be regarded as a god.

"My restaurant is opened by myself, and opening a branch in S city is also my own idea, and it has nothing to do with Lu Yunxiao... I don't need other people's care." Ruan Tang looked at Xu Yancheng, with a subdued voice. Rare anger: "Xu Yancheng, don't look down on me."

"I didn't. Didn't I always want to help you? I really like you." Xu Yancheng spoke with a gentle tone as if he was talking to his lover.

He's always been that way.

It's just that when Ruan Tang thought Xu Yancheng was just an ordinary friend, his tone was very strange.

"Our affairs have nothing to do with you." Ruan Tang said firmly. "Xu Yancheng, I don't like you at all."

He was about to leave with his small backpack, and suddenly remembered the agreement with Jess, Ruan Tang turned his gaze to Xu Yancheng again, and told him very seriously that it would be okay if Jess didn't want to meet because of this, but I hope he can help convey .

"Obviously willing to meet my friend, why do you have to avoid me, and if you don't agree, don't agree, can't we get along as friends?" Xu Yancheng didn't seem to mind Ruan Tang's rejection at all.

Ruan Tang's lips moved, and finally he gritted his teeth and said firmly: "No."

He just took two steps out with the wallet in hand, and soon remembered something. He turned around and looked at Xu Yancheng, and said seriously in the surprised eyes of the other party: "Xu Yancheng, you don't even look down on your grandfather's apprentice... ...I don't know who you think of as an equal existence to you in your heart, but you are so strange, Jess opened the restaurant is your friend, but you treat other people like a thing, Li Ying is fine, Me too, why do you automatically look down upon a male lover? I rely on my own skills to open a restaurant, so what is the difference between me and Jess? Why do you think that I leave Lu Yunxiao, will he definitely not be able to survive?"

"You may not feel it, but you're really... defiant, you're weird."

After Ruan Tang frowned, he left quickly.

Xu Yancheng was stunned for a moment, and he sat on the spot with his cheek propped up.

The waiter went up to inquire about the situation, but was greeted by Xu Yancheng to leave. He continued to sit where he was, silently looking at the coffee cup in front of him. There was a layer of froth floating on the coffee in the cup. He stirred the froth with a spoon. Sighing, he got up and prepared to pay the bill.

He felt that he should question Ruan Tang's words, and then dismiss Ruan Tang's refusal as a small joke.

But in fact, Xu Yancheng felt a little relaxed after Ruan Tang finished speaking.

It seems that after something hidden in the bottom of my heart is revealed, there is no need to hide the relaxed feeling.

He took a deep breath, patted his chest, and shook his head.

...isn't he just a man?Where is it not?It should be his loss that Ruan Tang doesn't want to be with him.

Ruan Tang originally thought that what he said to Xu Yancheng would make the other party angry.

He took his wallet and left that day after speaking, because he was afraid that Xu Yancheng would react impulsively.

However, Xu Yancheng did not behave as Ruan Tang expected at all.

His last message was to make an appointment to meet Jess at Ruan Tang's restaurant, and he didn't say a word after that.

On the day of the appointed time, Jess also arrived at Ruan Tian on time.

Because the restaurant was still entertaining guests, Jess arrived early in the morning, and the meals in the back kitchen were not ready yet.

Ruan Tang handed over the preparation work to Li Dafu, and then took Jess to the box.

"Why does the restaurant open in this kind of place? I thought that the restaurant for herbal porridge should be arranged in an ancient style. It is opened on a quiet street corner. Your restaurant is very modern." Jess asked with a smile.

"Restaurants, the main thing is the taste... The shops along the street in City S are very expensive. If they open on the corner of the street and have a reputation, I'm afraid there will be few people." Ruan Tang quickly responded.

He carefully asked Jess what kind of wine he valued, and Jess mysteriously took out a particularly ornately carved wine bottle from his bag, and carefully said to Ruan Tang: "This is not available in S City, I specially entrusted it My friend bought it from Yanshi."

He handed the wine to Ruan Tang, and Ruan Tang saw the sign of Fengju Pavilion at a glance.

"..." Ruan Tang called out to the waiter directly, and asked him to put a new bottle of wine on him.

The waiter quickly brought the wine to the table. Jess looked at the identical bottle of wine on the table with a speechless face, and the anxiety in his heart quickly disappeared.

"This wine..."

Jace wanted to ask a few more questions.

"It was produced in a friend's factory of mine, but because of the problem of the production line, the supply can't keep up, so it can only be sold on a small scale in Yan City."

"The production line can't keep up? God, that's such a pity." Jess pursed his mouth and looked particularly sullen.

He put the wine aside and asked about Ruan Tang's medicinal diet.

"Can you let me have a taste of your cooking, I heard that your medicinal food is very good since I came here..." Jess's tone was particularly excited.

Ruan Tang noticed that Jess... seemed only interested in his own medicinal food.

He has been asking about medicinal food since the first time they met. Most of the communication between the two of them revolved around the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and medicinal food, but there were many details about the food, and the two of them had no communication.

Ruan Tang squeezed his fingers, he felt that he seemed suspicious.

"Let's go to the back kitchen. There are a lot of medicinal meals sold recently, so you can try it." Ruan Tang smiled, and he took Jess to the back kitchen. Ruan Tang began to prepare various herbs and ingredients for the medicinal meal.

Over there, Li Dafu put the prepared soup aside, and as soon as he opened the lid of the pot, Jess turned his gaze.

He looked at Li Dafu over there in surprise, "What are you holding in your hand?"

"Soup base, I will make soup and cook later." Li Dafu looked at Jess cautiously.

——Who is this unknown foreigner?

"It smells so good." Jess squinted his eyes and sighed.

He restrained himself from asking about the ingredients of Ruan Tang's soup base, but his tone was more enthusiastic than before: "The dishes in your restaurant smell delicious, do you put poppy shells?"

"...It's illegal for us to put poppy shells." Ruan Tang looked at Jess inexplicably.

"Almost forgot, sorry." Jess' eyes were bright, and his eyes flicked across every tool in the back kitchen, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was much more earnest and real than before.

When Ruan Tang prepared all the medicinal materials, he took the pot directly, and quickly started making it with the soup base and seasoning.

Many medicinal materials had already been boiled last night, but after being mixed with spices, the smell is not unpleasant.

Ruan Tang mixed the juice from the medicinal materials with a small amount of medicinal materials, then matched with the soup base he prepared and the fried chopped vegetables, and poured a spoonful of thick fish soup.

The rich taste of minced meat and vegetables blended with the faint bitterness of the medicinal materials. Jess looked at the bowl of porridge in his hand in amazement. He tasted it lightly, and his stomach quickly warmed up. A bowl of delicious food is obviously only a small portion, but it took him hundreds of mouthfuls to finish it completely.

The attitude towards food exploration is completely different from the previous casualness.

"I thought that the so-called delicious taste here is just average, but I didn't expect... It's really hard for me to drink a bowl of porridge like this here..."

Jess did not hesitate to use the most beautiful words to describe the bowl of porridge in his hand.

However, none of the helpers present were feeling well.

... What do you mean by so-called delicious food?

Li Dafu gritted his teeth, and finally for Ruan Tang's sake, he didn't say anything.

Ruan Tang's face looked a little cold.

"Our food tastes great." Ruan Tang smiled with eyes downcast.

"Ah, I may have hurt your feelings, but I have never eaten any good taste from you... In fact, the taste of some restaurants is still good, but I always feel that there is something missing. Including The activities of the Food Association are actually... just a group of people trying to curry favor with businessmen."

Jace's performance seemed a little contemptuous.

However, when he looked at Ruan Tang, his eyes were very serious: "But your craftsmanship is different from what I imagined, you are really... better than I imagined."
