Did the playwright couple get divorced today?

Chapter 167 "This is the first time I brought a woman here for dinner." Did he mean to say that she was special?

There was another eerie silence.

Just when Nan Song was about to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, her long-hungry stomach opened her mouth before her.

"Grumbling--"

"."

Sure enough, it's even more embarrassing now.

"Get out of the car?" Shen Du finally spoke.

It's fine if someone breaks the silence. With a relieved expression on Nan Song's face, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Down, down, down!"

The owner of this Cantonese restaurant is a native Cantonese. He came to Yuncheng last year to open a restaurant. Looking at the communication between Shen Du and the owner, he seems to be a regular customer here.

Shen Du and Nan Song were greeted by the boss himself, she didn't know when he called to order the meal in advance.

"I still saved your favorite seat for you." The boss is a well-dressed middle-aged man. His Mandarin is not standard, but he sounds comfortable.

Shen Du nodded slightly: "Thank you."

The boss laughed and said, "I'm being polite."

The location of this Cantonese restaurant is different from other restaurants. It is located in the middle of a lake in a garden. Nan Song was wondering why he hadn't found such a good place to eat before, when he saw that Shen Du had brought himself deep into the corridor .

There is a bend of clear water, and the fragrance of lilin is fragrant. In the early years, it was a gathering place for literati, scholars and politicians. Now that the lights are on, the various scenery on the lake is unique.

The two walked through the wading corridor, and the red lanterns hanging on the eaves of the corridor gradually lit up, and several flower boats swayed on the sparkling lake, with the cool night wind blowing in front of them, accompanied by the lights on the treetops.

A waiter led Shen Du and Nan Song into an extremely elegantly decorated box. When handing over the menu, Nan Song glanced at the names of the dishes, and his hungry stomach growled even more fiercely.

"You come to order." Shen Du said.

Hearing his tone, he wanted to hand over the decision of what to order tonight to himself, Nan Song thought to himself: Then she won't be polite.

After looking around, Nansong finally ordered five items: Baked Chicken with Snow Skin, Roasted Eggplant with Pine Nest Egg in Meat Sauce, Xishi Plum, Sweet and Sour Pork with Strawberry, and Tingzai Seafood Congee.

Then handed the menu back to the waiter: "That's all."

"Okay, wait a moment, both of you."

The waiter gently closed the door of the box for the two of them.

Shen Du raised his eyes and looked at the woman sitting opposite, with a slight smile on his lips: "You are quite good at ordering, have you eaten here before?"

Nan Song shook his head: "No, what should I say?"

"You ordered a total of five dishes, and three of them are their signatures, and they happen to be the ones I'm going to recommend."

After listening, she answered smoothly: "Maybe this is the instinct of a foodie, and she can always choose the most delicious food through her keen intuition at the first time."

Shen Du pursed his lips, noncommittal.

The box they were sitting in had a window open, and they could just see the lake view and the distant mountain view shrouded in night at a glance.

The chef delivered the meal very quickly, and the five dishes were served quickly.

Because of Shen Du's sudden words in the car just now, the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit awkward, but when the food was served, the seductive fragrance in the air continued to drill into Nan Song's nose, making him feel uncomfortable. She put all the embarrassment behind her for a moment.

Nan Song picked up a quick piece of chicken and put it into his mouth. After tasting it for a few seconds, he sighed: "Ah, I'm alive, I'm alive."

Sitting across from her, Shen Du looked at her satisfied face, and silently pushed the plate of small dishes in his hand over: "Try this again, just eat it with porridge, it's also very good."

"it is good."

Nan Song readily agreed and tried it.

"Well, it's really good."

After speaking, he looked at Shen Du, and found that he was also looking at him, he was slightly stunned and hurried to find a topic.

"I don't see it, you are so busy every day, but you are quite good at finding a place to eat."

"There are a lot of social activities on weekdays, so naturally I know more or less."

Halfway through the meal, the waiter brought another dish and said politely, "This is given to you as a gift by the boss's order. I wish you a happy meal."

Nan Song lowered her eyes and took a look. There was another mouth-watering dish in the oval snow-white porcelain plate. She looked at Shen Du.

"What's the name of this dish?"

"Osmanthus fragrans in honey sauce is a traditional Cantonese dish that has declined. Because the production process is quite cumbersome, almost no Cantonese restaurants are willing to make it. The production method is to thin the chicken intestines and roll them into ice meat and salted egg yolk. It is pork belly marinated in koji wine and rock sugar, the salted egg yolk tastes powdery and not too salty, and the surface is brushed with a layer of honey sauce, which is a bit like honey sauce char siew, with a very rich taste."

Shen Du's mandarin is well-spoken, and Nan Song quietly listened to him explain the recipe for making this sweet-scented osmanthus pie. Suddenly, he had the illusion that he was watching some food show.

"Hey, has anyone said that you are very suitable to be the narrator of "A Bite of China"? Maybe you can develop a second career in the future."

Shen Du paused for a while, and asked with frowned eyebrows: "What?"

"Ah, it's okay, I'll just talk about it."

"But then again, the cooking process of this dish is so complicated that the boss is willing to give us a free copy. It seems that we have a really good relationship with you."

Shen Du swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth gracefully, and then said: "I guess the bigger reason is you."

Nan Song was stunned: "Me?"

"Ah."

"why?"

Shen Du looked at the woman sitting opposite him, her expression and eyes were calm, as if she was simply curious about this question.

In fact, he could not have said these things to her originally, but since the meaning was more straightforward, he had already said it in the car just now, so it seemed that he had nothing to worry about.

"I have a really good relationship with the owner of this restaurant. He always knew that I was married, but he had never seen my wife. It was the first time I brought a woman here for dinner, so he recognized it. You, sending this dish may be expressing welcome to you when I first met you."

Nan Song was stunned for a moment after hearing this, his mind was entangled by Shen Du's sentence "This is the first time I brought a woman here for dinner".

In fact, it was just an ordinary sentence, but I don't know why it caused a little ripple in her heart. What does the dog man mean by saying this?Do you want to tell her that she is special to him?
Although he was already thinking wildly in his heart, Nan Song still didn't show it on his face.

She continued to taste the food calmly, every dish was so delicious that her taste buds almost exploded.

At a certain interval, Shen Du put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at the person opposite who was eating with gusto and opened his mouth.

"What did you think of what I said in the car just now?"

　Thank you for your red beans, recommended tickets, and monthly tickets!
