Jiang An looked at Zou Bai and recommended, “His seafood porridge is especially delicious. Do you want to try it?”
Zou Bai didn’t mind eating. “Anything is fine. You’re more familiar with this place, just order.”
Jiang An ordered soup dumplings, spring rolls, and shrimp dumplings. Zou Bai took out cash and wanted to pay the bill. Jiang An used her phone to quickly scan the shop’s QR code to pay. She said jokingly, “I’ll treat you to breakfast. Just don’t charge me for the ride later.”
Although Zou Bai was not called over by Jiang An, she was now riding in his car to the set. Although resources were said to be based on cost-effectiveness, with a little thought, she knew that he had specially taken care of her and owed him a favor.
Now that breakfast was already such a small sum of money, she naturally couldn’t let others pay for it, so Jiang An was especially active in snatching the bill.
Zou Bai saw Jiang An’s actions and did not snatch the bill from her. He put the money back into his wallet. “Okay.”
After Jiang An finished ordering, the two of them walked into the shop. Zou Bai looked around. The white walls were stained with dust and looked a little dirty. The ground was relatively clean, but the wooden dining table…
Zou Bai looked at the uneven scratches on the table and the gaps between the scratches. He didn’t know which naughty child had stuffed a tissue into it, but it was so tight that it couldn’t be dug out.
Zou Bai frowned slightly and pursed his lips.
Jiang An didn’t notice Zou Bai’s expression. She had already walked to the empty dining table and sat down. When Zou Bai saw Jiang An’s actions from the corner of his eye, he didn’t argue anymore and sat on the stool opposite Jiang An.
“Squeak.”
Zou Bai was stunned for a moment. Jiang An covered her mouth and smiled. “There are a total of eight stools here. Two of them have been in disrepair for a long time. Congratulations, you’re lucky to sit on one of them today.”
Zou Bai looked at Jiang An’s curved eyebrows and smiled helplessly. “You’re so familiar with this place. Do you come here often?”
Jiang An shook her head. “I’ve only been here twice. The seafood porridge in this restaurant is Sea City’s taste. My mother thinks that these small restaurants outside are not as hygienic as homemade food, and the ingredients are not fresh, so I’m basically forced to eat breakfast at home normally. Occasionally, when I need to work, I take the opportunity to eat these small restaurants’ food outside.”
Zou Bai looked at Jiang An disapprovingly. “Auntie Li is right. Who knows if the meat and seafood used here are fresh or not? Sometimes, you can’t even tell when the taste is masked by seasonings. You have to go to a star restaurant to ensure the ingredients and hygiene standards when you eat outside.”
These words frightened Jiang An so much that she quickly turned around and looked at the boss and lady boss, who were busy at the stall at the door. If others heard them, they would be asking for a beating.
Zou Bai continued nonchalantly, “So what if they heard us? What can they do to us?”
Jiang An held her forehead and turned to look at Zou Bai. “Let’s keep a low profile. We still have work today. I don’t want to fight before going.”
After Jiang An finished speaking, she couldn’t help but defend the boss. “We won’t get sick after eating it. Since we can’t live in a sterile world, we have to learn to live and die with bacteria. Besides, the last two times I came, I saw them eating the food in the shop themselves. This means that there’s definitely no problem with the ingredients and hygiene. Don’t tell my mother that I’m eating street food.”
Seeing that Jiang An had specially added the last two sentences, Zou Bai lowered his eyes to suppress the rise in his peach blossom eyes.
Seeing that Zou Bai didn’t respond, Jiang An panicked. It wasn’t easy for her to find a restaurant that tasted the best and most authentic to Sea City in her limited time and opportunities. So, she reached out and gently pushed Zou Bai’s arm. “I shared my secret place with you. You can’t betray me.”
Only then did Zou Bai look up at Jiang An with a faint smile in his eyes. “Got it.”
Jiang An was relieved. The boss brought the breakfast she had ordered to the table, making Jiang An’s appetite increase.
Jiang An had always been a bold and unrestrained person when it came to eating. After all, she had to finish her food quickly so that she could do her work. This was also a habit she had developed when she was working in the past. To her, earning money was more important than her image.
However, after eating with this noble young master, Jiang An suddenly couldn’t be bold anymore. She felt that if she was too rough, it would be disrespectful to him. It was fine last time when she ate, but this time, she was used to scarfing down the soup dumplings and shrimp dumplings whole.
Jiang An watched as the other party ate slowly and at a moderate speed.. Although he was eating the soup dumplings one by one just like she usually did, why did the same actions look so different?
