Chapter 204 The Correct Way to Prepare Pilaf
"Then I'll order it."
"But today is such an unfortunate day. The waiter just told me that the seafood will be served in about an hour. If you can't wait, just order something else first."
Jiang Shen held the menu and looked at Shi Wenyan who was still a little nervous across from him and said.
"Then eat something else. Eating too much seafood is not good for you. I can handle it."
Shi Wenyan had seen the menu Jiang Duoduo sent her before. The seafood here was extremely expensive.
If Jiang Shen wanted to split the bill with her after the meal, the money would probably bankrupt her.
Therefore, the temporary lack of seafood supply seems to be a good thing for Shi Wenyan.
"Let's start with the local specialty, the pilaf. I had it yesterday at noon, and it was delicious and looked quite ceremonial. It has shredded chicken, shredded potatoes, various cordyceps and mushrooms, etc..."
"Mix all these ingredients together and eat them with your hands. I feel like I'm in Africa, hahaha."
"You're such a funny person, but now that you mention it, I'm actually looking forward to eating this pilaf."
"I just arrived in Shajiang last night. I went to Haidilao with my friends for supper and had Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles for lunch. I haven't had time to try the pilaf you mentioned yet."
Shi Wenyan saw that Jiang Shen was very gentlemanly in his every move and was also very eloquent, which made Shi Wenyan, who had just met him, not feel embarrassed at all.
As expected of a businessman, his eloquence and knowledge are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Waiter, order!"
Jiang Shen waved to the waiter standing next to him, and a young man in work clothes came over with a tablet for taking orders.
"A small portion of the special pilaf, this small knife-cut duck, cured pork ribs, Dai-style stir-fried beef, and mushroom soup..."
"This is enough! If we order more, we won't be able to finish it between the two of us."
Shi Wenyan interjected with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll order two more vegetables. A combination of meat and vegetables is the key to a balanced diet. Let me see... I'll order the fried seaweed and the dry-pot cabbage."
"Okay, the dishes you ordered are the special pilaf rice and the knife-cut duck..."
The waiter used the tablet to confirm the order with the two again, and then went to serve other people. There were still several tables of guests complaining about having to wait for seafood.
Several waiters in the restaurant were patiently explaining to them.
"Why didn't your friend have dinner with you today?"
Jiang Shen picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Shi Wenyan, then asked casually.
"Her boyfriend is here, so I won't be a laughing stock and go to dinner with him."
When Shi Wenyan said this, she thought of Luo Kai and Jiang Duoduo.
She didn't consider Zeng Mingming and Liu Feifei to be boyfriends. At most, they were just a romantic encounter.
"Oh...what about you, Wenyan? You're so beautiful. Is your boyfriend comfortable letting you travel to Sajiang alone with your friends? They say Sajiang is a paradise for romantic encounters. Isn't he afraid that you'll be kidnapped?"
Jiang Shen deliberately turned the topic to his boyfriend and Shi Wenyan's beauty, wanting to know whether this beautiful woman who had just been chatting with him and wanted to go out to dinner with him had a boyfriend?
Or did his boyfriend come to Sae with him?
This is the key to whether he can win the beauty tonight!
It's best if you don't have a boyfriend. If you do, it's easy to take advantage of her even if her boyfriend doesn't come to Sae with her.
"I...I don't have a boyfriend yet..."
Shi Wenyan lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.
Speaking of her boyfriend, she only had a mediocre relationship with one in college, and they later broke up because of their incompatibility in personality.
During the year I started working, there were some male salesmen working in shopping malls. Although they were all good-looking, they were all extremely poor!
Shi Wenyan's family conditions are not good. Both her parents work in factories, and she has younger siblings who are in school and needs to be supported.
Although the family's life is decent, the parents still live frugally every day.
Therefore, Shi Wenyan wanted to find a rich husband and no longer wanted to live a life where she had to haggle over everything in order to save money.
Especially when she saw that Jiang Duoduo, whose family was poorer than hers, could actually have a boyfriend like Luo Kai, a rich second-generation man.
Shi Wenyan felt that if she worked hard, she would definitely have the chance to marry a rich man and become his wife.
Look, she saw that Jiang Shen in front of her was very satisfied, and it was obvious that his family was not short of money.
"How is that possible! How could you not have a boyfriend when you're so beautiful? You must be overwhelmed by the choices!"
When Jiang Shen heard that she didn't have a boyfriend, he was overjoyed, so he began to compliment Shi Wenyan in front of him with sweet words.
It is said that Sae is the capital of romantic encounters. This time he also follows the fashion trend and has a grand romantic encounter.
Shi Wenyan felt flattered by the compliments. She had an ordinary appearance and had never heard anyone praise her beauty since she was a child.
But there is a saying that goes, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"!
Could it be that Jiang Shen also has feelings for her?
OMG!
Just as Shi Wenyan's heart began to beat again, the restaurant waiter came over to serve the dishes.
The first dish was the Sajiang pilaf.
"Wow... I didn't realize this pilaf is so big! Luckily we ordered a small portion, otherwise we wouldn't be able to finish it."
Shi Wenyan watched the waiter bring over a bamboo basket.
The basket was covered with a layer of banana leaves, on which were placed rice, shredded chicken, shredded potatoes, braised pork shreds, peanuts, and many mushrooms and cordyceps that she couldn't name.
"Let's put on gloves, mix all the ingredients, and then eat it with our hands."
Jiang Shen looked at Shi Wenyan's happy expression and thought that the little girl was easy to satisfy. She would be so happy that her eyes would sparkle when he invited her to eat some rice with her hands.
Although her eyes are not very big, her smile is really unique.
Like that old Hong Kong and Taiwan star…something called Lian?
"Okay, then I'll start!"
Shi Wenyan picked up the disposable gloves on the table, put them on, and then she and Jiang Shen mixed the vegetables and rice in the basket together.
The two of them are so sweet and loving that anyone who sees them would think they are an old man and a young wife on their honeymoon.
However, on the other side, people were also eating pilaf, but the scene was completely different.
Jiang Duoduo had just finished taking a shower when the meal she ordered was delivered. She asked the waiter to place dinner directly on the dining table on the balcony.
Because the temperature was a little higher today, Jiang Duoduo felt that the atmosphere was perfect at night, with the sea breeze blowing, watching the waves, and having a delicious dinner.
However, when they started eating the rice with their hands, Jiang Duoduo looked it up online and found out that it was more delicious when eaten with hands, so she started to put on gloves.
"Jiang Duoduo, are you sure you want to eat it like this?"
Luo Kai looked at Jiang Duoduo, who had disposable gloves on both hands, as if she was getting ready for a big fight. He began to doubt whether this was still the Jiang Duoduo he knew.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do! Put on your gloves, it's fun to eat by the handful."
Jiang Duoduo couldn't wait to start!
"I...I'd better forget it!"
Luo Kai suddenly recalled a time when he was on a business trip to an African country.
The locals used their black hands to grab some yellow rice and stuffed it into their mouths, then smiled at him, showing him their white teeth...
He couldn't help but shudder in his heart!
