Chapter 538: White Lotus Joins the Fray (8)_1
Princess Anle was amused by her words and felt her appetite surge, eating the remaining half of the dish as well.
Lao Fan and Xiao Linshuang had no interest in listening to their banter about happiness and laughter. As soon as Lin Yuan finished introducing the dishes, they couldn’t wait to start eating with their chopsticks, showing no regard for manners at all.
Just as Su Qiuyu was about to remind Xiao Linshuang to use the serving chopsticks, she saw Lao Fan across from her already snatch away a char siu bun with his chopsticks. And truly, he snatched it, boldly stabbing the bun in the middle with one chopstick and lifting it away.
While Su Qiuyu watched, dumbfounded, Lao Fan took a big bite of the char siu bun, his eyes lighting up with delight. Without even finishing the first one, he took another chopstick and skewered a second bun.
Su Qiuyu was completely speechless, bowing her head in silent resignation. She couldn’t believe that even the renowned Old Mr. Zhen from the Imperial Medical Bureau had forgotten what manners were.
Seeing Princess Anle enjoying the meal, Su Qiuyu couldn’t help but praise, "Is all this Miss Lin’s handiwork? It’s truly an eye-opener for Qiu Yu. I never thought Miss Lin, at such a young age, could possess such exceptional culinary skills. I am envious indeed."
Lin Yuan was in the middle of explaining the difference between Mapo tofu and sizzling tofu to Princess Anle when she was caught off guard by Su Qiuyu’s compliment.
"If Miss Su likes it, please have some more. You’ve just recovered, so you shouldn’t eat anything too spicy. This Earthly Delight is very nice, you should try it. And these Crystal shrimp dumplings can also be eaten without worry," she said, encouraging her to try more dishes while she continued to introduce them. Since you’re putting on an act, I’ll play along to the end.
