Seeing Ye Chen’s invitation, Fei Ke Xin had no choice but to walk towards the door of the box.
At this time, Ye Chen looked at Luo Jiacheng again and warmly invited him, “Brother Driver, why don’t you come in and have some food with us? There’s no one else here!”
Luo Jiacheng shook his head and said politely, “Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your kindness, but as the driver, it’s better for me to wait outside.”
Ye Chen borrowed the slope and nodded, “In that case, I’ll be sorry for the greeting.”
Luo Jiacheng was busy saying, “You’re very kind, Mr. Ye!”
Ye Chen smiled faintly and went into the box with Fei Ke Xin.
It was said to be a private room, but in fact it was just an ordinary brick room.
The area of the room was not large, and the inside was rather empty, with a four-square earthen stove built against the wall facing the door.
The fire underneath the stove was all wood, and the flames burned so brightly that the large iron pot on top, although covered with a wooden lid, was steaming outwards from all around the pot.
The room was filled with a strong smell of meat.
For some reason, Fei Ke Xin’s mouth began to salivate uncontrollably as soon as she smelt this strong meat aroma with a spicy flavour.
She took out a small bottle of mineral water from her bag and gently took a sip to cover up her embarra*sment, while also wondering in her mind, “This goose meat smells really good, but can the food cooked in such a place really be good?”
While wondering, Ye Chen pointed to one of the chairs and said to Fei Ke Xin, “Miss Zhan, please have a seat! I don’t know if the food here is to your liking, I originally wanted to find a high-end Western restaurant, but I heard that French food is the Rolls Royce of Western food, so I guess a Chinese like you, who grew up in France, must taste like wax when eating Western food from a place like Jinling, so I’ll just take you to try the local specialties, I hope you don’t mind, if you don’t like it, just say so, let’s go to the city now It’s not too late to change restaurants.”
Ye Chen’s burst of nonsense made Fei Ke Xin’s heart even more touched.
She thought that Ye Chen had really thought it through, but she didn’t know that Ye Chen was just talking out of his a*s, he had never researched where to eat western food in Jinling, and he wasn’t prepared to take Fei Ke Xin to any western restaurant.
However, Fei Ke Xin did not expect that Ye Chen was just playing along, and when she was touched, she smiled slightly and said politely, “Mr Ye is too polite, I would actually like to try some local specialties that I have not tried before.”
Ye Chen nodded and smiled, “That’s just right, this is a local specialty in the country.”
With that, he reached out and lifted the lid off the pot, and as a large cloud of water vapour tumbled up to the ceiling, an even stronger smell of meat came over him.
Fei Kexin could also see what was gurgling and boiling in the pot; it was a pot of goose that was already sauced and tumbling, in addition to some thick, lean five-flower meat.
Growing up in the United States, Fei rarely ate pork. The two types of meat she ate most often were beef and chicken, and the only chicken she ate was the low-calorie chicken breast, and the only pork she would eat in her life was processed bacon, so she had little to no taste for this fatty pancetta.
However, when she saw that big piece of pork rolling around in the pot, she was actually eager to taste what it would really taste like.
Seeing that she was a bit dumbfounded, Ye Chen gave her a piece of goose meat and placed it on the plate in front of her, saying with a smile, “I was afraid that a lady like you would be concerned about her image when eating goose meat, so I specially asked the cook to chop the meat into small pieces, so you can taste how it tastes first.”
Saying that, Ye Chen hurriedly explained again, “Oh yes, I haven’t used these chopsticks yet, don’t mind if you do.”
“No, no.” Fei Kexin hurriedly shook her head for a while, seeing Ye Chen taking such an initiative to dish out food for herself, she couldn’t help but feel a little girlish and shy in her heart.
