Chapter 1306: Chapter 1307: Carefully Changed the Topic
A white tissue was quietly handed to her. When Jiang Chenyue lowered her head, she met a pair of clear black and white eyes staring at her purely and cleanly. In a gentle voice, he said, “Beautiful Grandma, don’t cry. Crying makes you less pretty.”
The sourness that Jiang Chenyue had suppressed suddenly surged uncontrollably like a dam breaking. She reached out and took the tissue from the little boy, her eyes already red, but her lips were curling upwards, “Thank you, Duidui~”
Rong Yan also put the lemon water back in front of her, subtly changing the subject, “Mrs. Jiang, have a drink of water. I didn’t know if you can handle spicy food, and we haven’t ordered the base of the hotpot yet. I’ll call the waiter over, let’s order some food, talking about it makes me hungry.”
Her stomach cooperatively grumbled.
Pfft!
She was just saying!
Rong Yan awkwardly rubbed her stomach, looking towards her.
The constricted emotions in Jiang Chenyue’s chest dissipated, turning tears into laughter, and she waved outside, “Waiter, we would like to order.”
This Haidilao restaurant catered to the middle to upper spending level, with one waiter serving every three tables. Hearing their call, the waiter responsible for their table promptly came over with the menu.
“Hello, here’s our menu, it lists all our dishes, just tick what you need.”
“What base would you like?”
The waiter diligently explained, “Our restaurant uses individual pots for each person, trying to cater to the taste of every customer. Our specialty bases include tomato oxtail, seafood medley, spicy clear oil, spicy beef oil, Thai style, etc. Take a look and see which one you like, you can order first and the kitchen will prepare it for you.”
Rong Yan, having thought of the cleanliness issue before suggesting hotpot, specifically chose a Haidilao with separate bases.
So, they could enjoy hotpot while avoiding the trouble Mrs. Jiang might have if she dislikes sharing a pot due to cleanliness obsessiveness.
She hadn’t thought about these things before.
It was only after starting to date someone later that she gradually began to opt for separate pots when having hotpot, due to his level of cleanliness.
No choice, if it were just their family of four it’d be fine, Li Shengxiao wouldn’t fuss. Last time, he had Cui Jiangjing come over for hotpot, and when everyone gathered, he actually arranged a pair of public chopsticks for him, insisting on using public chopsticks for picking up the food… Cui Jiangjing took it as normal, seemingly well aware of his quirk.
Jiang Chenyue raised her head and first asked Rong Yan, “Yan, what base do you want?”
“Me?” Rong Yan came back to her senses, “I want the spicy clear oil.”
Li Duidui by her side immediately expressed, “Beautiful Grandma, I want the same as mom.”
“Two spicy clear oil bases?” Jiang Chenyue was about to tick.
Rong Yan quickly stopped her, glancing disapprovingly at a little Baby who was taking the chance to eat spicy, apologetically said to her, “Mrs. Jiang, no need, one spicy clear oil and one tomato base. He’s had a heat rash recently, even his gums were swollen from brushing teeth yesterday, he can’t have chili these days.”
“I’m already better!” Li Duidui protested.
Rong Yan, firm and impartial, didn’t give an inch, “Even if you’re better, you need to rest for two days before you can have chili!”
Jiang Chenyue looked at them, her eyes sparkling with tender light, and told the waiter, “Please give us two spicy clear oil bases and one tomato base. Make the child’s tomato base milder and add more tomatoes to it. Also, bring us a glass of milk.”
