Chapter 10 Taste Failure.
Fang Jinchao never expected Ash to ask him such a question, "Does the bell pepper taste appropriate", and the whole body was stunned, and his heart was full of surprise.
He looked sideways at Ash, and the expression on the other party's face was very sincere, probably because he noticed that the atmosphere on the table was wrong, and he was a little confused.
He coughed dryly, and instead of telling the truth of the matter, he replied, "Well...... Not bad. β
"Dingβ"
After Fang Jinchao's words were finished, the system immediately prompted, "The two humans surnamed Fang appreciate that the task has been completed, and the progress of the task is fifty percent, please continue to work hard." β
Ash was relieved, he didn't think much about the strange atmosphere just now, and smiled at the other party Jinchao and said, "Then you eat more, I see that you don't use chopsticks much, I think it's not delicious." β
"No, that's good." Fang Jinchao only thought that the girl was worried that the dish was not to her taste, so she asked so, and after answering, he took two slices of matsutake mushrooms to eat to show his sincerity.
Axien sighed, and in order to avoid being too deliberate, he turned the glass layer on the table again, and turned the honey fire side to Fang Wenzhao and them.
She said enthusiastically: "Grandpa Fang, Grandpa Lu, you can also taste this honey fire recipe, the chef at home makes it, if it is delicious, I will also learn it." β
"Xixi, leave us alone, eat well, grandpa won't be polite." Fang Wenzhao waved his hand at her, and pulled Lu Yizhi and Ai Zhongkun to chat.
The atmosphere at the dinner table slowly eased up, and it was a happy time until the end of the dinner.
After dinner, the three old men did not play chess, but sat in the garden and chatted and reminisced about the past.
Because his parents had gone to the garden to cool off, Ash and his brother couldn't hide from it, and they all sat in the garden and chatted.
"Xixi, these Yunnan dishes tonight are really satisfying, didn't you just say that you want a birthday gift? Say it and let Grandpa Lu hear it, as long as you can do it, Grandpa Lu will definitely give it to you. Lu Yizhi chatted and remembered the promise he made to the little girl in the afternoon.
Ash has actually been struggling with whether to mention it tonight, after all, there are more than her and Lu Yizhi sitting in the garden, especially her mother Lian Yuyan.
But-Lu Yizhi took the initiative to ask now, if she didn't say it now, it would be too contrived to mention it herself every few days.
Forget it, find a way to pay it back in the future!
As soon as Ash gritted his teeth, he said bluntly, "Grandpa Lu, then I'll say it directly." Actually, when I was in my third year of high school, I was very determined to study abroad, and I always felt that the moon abroad was relatively round. So I applied to a foreign school before, only waited for the college entrance examination to see the scores, and then didn't apply for the domestic volunteer. But right...... After a summer vacation, I thought about it, I still prefer to stay in China to study, China is very good, there is no need to study abroad like everyone else. So...... I don't know if Grandpa Lu can help me ask, in addition to re-taking the college entrance examination, is there any other way to go directly to college. However, if it will be very troublesome for Grandpa Lu, then forget it~"
"You kid!" Lian Yuyan didn't expect her daughter to be in front of her, so she asked Lu Yizhi, who met for the first time, for help, frowned slightly and said, "Don't trouble your Grandpa Lu, if you want to stay in China to study, it's the same to come back to graduate school in the future." Two or three years is not a long time. β
Ash pursed her lips, as if she didn't understand her mother's euphemistic hints, and winked at Lu Yizhi.
Lu Yizhi put down the teacup and chuckled.
Ash's heart hung in the air, wondering if he was too reckless, too much?
But I heard Lu Yizhi say: "What should I do, do I have a favorite school, tell Grandpa Lu." β
"Huh?" Ash was a little confused, but he agreed so easily?
After a pause, she still asked, "Won't it be very troublesome for Grandpa Lu?" After all, the country is still ...... college entrance examination system"
Lu Yizhi said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, after eating the two dishes you cooked tonight, it can be said that Grandpa Lu earned it." β
"Oh...... That's troublesome Grandpa Lu, I don't have anything to go to, I'll print a copy of the college entrance examination transcript to you in a while, you can see which one is suitable! Ash didn't ask any more.
First, he has already caused trouble to the other party, and second, the old man said it so lightly, he shouldn't have made her a bad place.
Ash's original intention of staying in China to study was not to go to a prestigious school and achieve great achievements in his studies, but to switch to Chinese cuisine and continue to carry forward his favorite cooking skills. Therefore, as long as the school is not too bad, she can accept it. Besides, there's no reason to be picky about asking for help.
"Well, is there anything else you want?" Lu Yizhi felt that the little girl was bold, measured, and quite appreciative.
Ash shook his head, "Thank you, Grandpa Lu, there is nothing else, it is enough to go to school in China!" When I learned a new dish, I cooked it for Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Fang! β
Lu Yizhi: "That's a certainty, I'm tired of eating outside food for a long time, Zhong Kun, I'm going to bother you often in the future." β
Of course, Ai Zhongkun would not refuse, and readily agreed, "That's a good feeling, how many people can't invite you, my old man is stained with his granddaughter's light." β
Three old men, you say a word, I say a word, and the conversation is speculative.
Ash quietly glanced at her mother, the other party didn't seem to have changed much, and chatted with Fang Jinchao with her father.
She was very afraid that her mother would sing against her at this time, in this case, Lu Yizhi would definitely not be able to help her, after all, it would become a housework for the Ai family.
Maybe it's because outsiders are there, she can't refute her face, right?
Before 9 o'clock in the evening, the drivers of the two families arrived at Ai's house and picked them up and went home.
The guests and hosts were happy, and the group did not politely retain and shirk, and quickly dispersed.
And Ash realized at this time that after he got Lu Yizhi's promise just now, he didn't hear the prompt of "ding-".
That is, she did not complete the task!
With doubts in his heart, Ash wanted to go back to the room as soon as possible and give himself a private space to check the situation in the system.
Although this food system can be opened at any time, she doesn't know how fast the time flow inside is, and what will happen if people outside see her enter the system space, so she doesn't dare to open the system in front of others.
"Mom, Dad, grandpa, I'm so tired, go back to the room and wash up first." Ash said hello to his family and wanted to slip away.
"Ash, stop me!" Unknowingly, he was stopped by Lian Yuyan in an instant.
Forehead...... Still can't escape a question.
Ash stood honestly, looked at Lian Yuyan innocently and asked, "Mom, what's the matter?" β
Lian Yuyan: "What do you say?" β
Ash: "Didn't you say that as long as I can apply to the school myself, I won't object?" Although I asked Grandpa Lu for help, I made dishes for him to eat, and I was on my own......"
Such a deal, even she herself is empty-hearted. Because Lu Yizhi helped himself, this favor is definitely not recorded on her Ai Xi, but on the entire Ai family. She just seized the loophole in her mother's words, and if her mother didn't admit it, it was okay.
How did Lian Yuyan frown and said, "It's not this thing!" β
"Huh?" Ash looked dazed and asked, "What's that?" β
Lian Yuyan: "You really don't know or you don't know, just now you actually asked Fang Jin if the super dishes are delicious, what are you thinking about?" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦ Complete the task.
Ash thought that his mother was unhappy that he was asking Lu Yizhi for help, so he deliberately found fault with his etiquette, and replied with his head down: "I was wrong, I shouldn't ask such a question that may be embarrassing." β
Lian Yuyan became even more angry when she heard this, "So you know that his sense of taste is out of order, and you deliberately asked him if it tastes good, what are you trying to do?" β
Ha?
Ash was stunned, "Mom, Mom, what are you talking about, Fang Jin has a taste failure?!" β
Lian Yuyan: "Otherwise, why do you think everyone at the table was stunned just now, Fang Jinchao finally failed because of his illness and deterioration of taste, and how many doctors the Fang family found to treat him were not cured, who else doesn't know?" β
Ash: "I don't know...... Just now, I saw that he didn't eat much, so I asked more......"
She was really completely stunned by this truth now, recalling Fang Jinchao's embarrassment just now, and seriously answering that she tasted good, and she ate two pieces of matsutake mushrooms to show herself......
Thinking about it this way, even Ash felt that he was excessive.
"Mom, do you have Fang Jinchao's phone number, I'll apologize to him later......" Ash felt that he had to make amends.
Lian Yuyan really convinced her daughter, sighed and said, "Xixi, do you have to have a long memory about this today, and no matter what you do in the future, you will think about it for me clearly." Since you asked the Lu family for help today, then you will have to pay more attention to these problems when you go to college in the future, the age gap between you and Fang Jinchao is not big, but you still have to ask me for his phone number, this is your shortcoming. β
"So you agree that I won't study abroad?!" Ash's eyes lit up and he grasped the point of the whole sentence.
Lian Yuyan's eyes opened for a moment, and said, "That's conditional, I will check your grades every semester, as well as your living situation." If you don't have a good time, if you don't study well, I will intervene at any time. β
Ash raised his lips and smiled, "Thank you, Mom, then I'll go back to the room first, remember to send me the number!" β
With that, she ran away.
The first thing he did when he returned to the room, Ash did not apologize to Fang Jinchao, but clicked on the food system.
The mission is really not completed yet, and the countdown continues, with more than half of the time left. A new prompt appears in the upper right corner, and she clicks on it.
"You must receive an offer letter, or you must be successful in your enrollment to complete your mission."
There's a week left before school, and the mission is over with less than four days left, so she has to get a notice!
didn't know how Lu Yizhi was going to help her, Ash was a little apprehensive in her heart, so she could only silently pray that the other party would send her an admission letter......
After the system figured it out, Ash continued to think about how to apologize to Fang Jinchao.
She pulled out her phone, entered the other person's number in the text message box, and edited the text in the box below.
"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry, I didn't know you suffered from taste failure, so I abruptly surprised you at night. I'm sorry!'
After editing, he felt that it was too written and contrived, so Ash deleted it.
Also edited:
"Brother Jinchao, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had a bad sense of taste...... That's why I asked that question, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!
No, it seems that they are not so familiar, the feelings are too strong, and it may seem that she is too "vulnerable".
Ash felt very distressed, how could it be so difficult to apologize, it seems that it was not very smooth sailing after being reborn.
She thought so distractedly, continued to delete the message in her hand, and-
Ash pressed the send button without paying attention.
