The two of them were so busy that they had to eat.

"Teacher Zhang, I don't know what you like, so I just ordered some dishes. See if you want to add anything else."

When Zhang Mengqing sat down, Jiang Ning handed over the menu immediately.

"Add some beef and mutton. You've worked hard today and need to replenish your energy."

Zhang Mengqing looked at the snacks and vegetables on the table. In fact, these dishes were enough for her.

However, considering that Jiang Ning is a boy, it's not enough to just eat vegetables. There must be meat.

So she slid the menu and ordered marbled beef, beef rolls and lamb rolls.

These dishes are the golden signs of the hot pot restaurant, and they are the kind that you can buy with your eyes closed.

Not long after the order was placed, the waitress brought the dishes to the table.

Zhang Mengqing stood up and took the dishes, and then placed them in front of Jiang Ning, so that he could eat the meat later.

Everything was ready, and the eaters started eating!

Zhang Mengqing took the lead in picking up potato slices and pouring them into the red oil soup base. It takes a long time to cook this kind of food, so it should be put into the hot pot first.

While waiting, she picked up a piece of brown sugar glutinous rice cake and ate it in small bites.

It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it tasted sweet and delicious!

"Jiang Ning, the brown sugar glutinous rice cake in this store tastes very good, you should try it too." Zhang Mengqing handed the snack to Jiang Ning.

"Okay, then I won't be polite."

Jiang Ning must try Teacher Zhang's recommendation, and just take this opportunity to understand her eating habits.

"The surface of the glutinous rice cake is coated with a thick layer of syrup. I thought it would be too sweet, but it turned out to be surprisingly light."

"The chef's control of the sweetness is just right, like a milk tea with 50% sugar, sweet but not greasy."

"And what surprised me most was that this brown sugar glutinous rice cake had a unique fragrance in the mouth, which should be the fragrance of osmanthus."

Jiang Ning expressed his own opinion. He rarely eats sweets, but it is quite fresh to eat one occasionally.

"Do you feel the same way?"

Zhang Meng blinked lightly, overjoyed, and Jiang Ning's words resonated with her.

"My friend said that the brown sugar glutinous rice cakes in all hot pot restaurants taste the same."

"But I think the brown sugar glutinous rice cakes in this restaurant are different, because they really taste special."

"Sometimes, I even come here to eat hot pot just to eat brown sugar glutinous rice cakes. How can I describe this feeling..."

"I made this dumpling for this little bit of vinegar?" Jiang Ning helped to add.

"Yes! I made this dumpling for this little bit of vinegar!"

Zhang Mengqing nodded, she felt that Jiang Ning's description was very appropriate.

It feels so good that someone understands what she wants to say!

Zhang Mengqing silently raised the teacup, using tea instead of wine to pay tribute to her confidant!

.......

"Teacher Zhang, the potatoes in the pot are ready to eat."

At this time, Jiang Ning picked up the colander and rummaged in the red oil soup base, fishing out all the ingredients that Zhang Mengqing had put in before.

These potatoes have been cooked until they are soft and must be taken out now. If they are taken out later, they will probably become mashed potatoes.

"Jiang Ning, do you want to try the potato chips?"

Zhang Mengqing did not immediately put the potatoes into his own bowl, but chose to share them with Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning looked at the potato chips with red oil and shook his head respectfully: "You should eat them. I'll just eat the dishes in the clear soup pot."

"Okay, then I'll start."

Zhang Mengqing gently pulled her hair behind her ears, then picked up a piece of potato with chopsticks and ate it in small bites.

"Is it not spicy?" Jiang Ning asked curiously.

The potato chips that he thought were spicy, Zhang Mengqing ate them calmly.

Is Zhang Mengqing particularly good at eating spicy food, or is the red oil just a bluff and has no killing power?

"These dishes only look spicy, but they are not spicy at all." Zhang Mengqing explained with a chuckle.

"Really?"

Jiang Ning's heart began to waver, and he was eager to try it.

"It's really not spicy! Do you want to try it?"

"Okay."

Jiang Ning took out a piece of potato from the red oil soup base, and after eating it, he silently said: "I'd better continue to eat the clear soup pot..."

"You really can't eat spicy food at all."

Zhang Mengqing noticed that Jiang Ning's face was red from the spiciness, and quickly handed him a bottle of milk.

Jiang Ning drank the milk in one breath, and then he calmed down.

"Braised beef noodles are the spiciest level I can accept." He said jokingly.

Mingmingmei

My sister can eat spicy food, my parents can eat spicy food, why can't he eat spicy food?

What went wrong?

"It's okay, don't force yourself if you can't eat spicy food."

Zhang Mengqing stopped persuading Jiang Ning to try the red oil pot base. It would be bad if it was spicy enough to make her stomach hurt.

"Okay, I'll stop and take a break."

Jiang Ning put down the chopsticks in his hand and focused on the dishes.

"What do you want to eat, Teacher Zhang? I can cook it for you."

"No, no, I can do it myself, thank you." Zhang Mengqing shook her head.

She didn't like to cause trouble for others, and she did everything by herself.

So when she heard Jiang Ning offer to help cook, she subconsciously declined.

"Don't be afraid, Teacher Zhang. Although I can't guarantee that the dishes I cook will be delicious, at least they won't be half-cooked." Jiang Ning used a joking tone to ease the atmosphere.

Zhang Mengqing quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I just don't want to cause you trouble..."

"What's the trouble? It's just something that happens."

"I usually cook for my sister when I take her out for hot pot. We have a clear division of labor and are used to it."

"So, you eat first, and I'll add some vegetables for you."

Jiang Ning said as he poured the dishes into the hot pot.

He added the dishes very slowly and lightly, because this way there would be no scalding hot oil splashing out.

In terms of details, Jiang Ning got it just right.

And it is often the unintentional details that can most impress girls.

Looking at Jiang Ning's busy figure, Zhang Mengqing's heart was stirred.

She has always been doing her best to take care of others.

Taking care of her bestie, taking care of the kitten, taking care of all the students in Class 16...

She is used to giving, and she always takes care of other people's feelings first when doing anything.

Until today, she has become the one being taken care of.

She doesn't have to do anything, just sit there and wait to be fed.

This feeling is very subtle, just like someone suddenly broke into your world and told you: "You don't have to pretend to be a mature adult, take a good rest from now on."

Another meaning of this sentence is: "You can be a little friend here with me."

Zhang Mengqing is obviously older than Jiang Ning, but at this moment it is Jiang Ning who is taking good care of her.

An indescribable emotion surged in my heart.

"When happiness knocks on the door, don't run away, be brave."

Zhang Mengqing suddenly remembered what her best friend said before.

Why did she suddenly think of this sentence?

Is it because she really felt happy?

At this moment, Zhang Mengqing's unremitting "singleism" was shaken.
