Chapter Seventy-Eight: Abbe's Craft
γγγ
"The conditions of the small shop here are really limited, and the food is a little simple, I hope the two of you don't dislike it~"
After serving the last soup, Abbe stood at the dining table, wiped his hands on his apron, and said a little shy and embarrassed.
β...β
Meng Po looked at Abbe a little speechless, and then looked down at the six dishes and one soup and a large pot of steaming white rice on the table, but the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously, and instantly felt that she seemed to have misunderstood the word 'simple', and the unknown on the side also had a similar expression, but his thoughts were much simpler, after all, in his previous life, he could be said to have a considerable understanding of Abbe, and for her kind of modest words, she only thought that she was too demanding of her cooking skills.
However, in fact, what Abbe was thinking in his heart was-
"Oops~ I knew that Dongfang Gongzi would come today, I should have gone to Luoyang City to buy some raw materials and come back, and I prepared it in advance, and I don't know if the game meal I made is suitable for Gongzi's taste..."
Thinking like this, Abei's face couldn't help but feel a little more worried, and then he found that neither of them had moved his chopsticks, so he cautiously asked, "Two... But does the food look unappetizing? β
"Huh~? Oh, that's not it, it's just a little surprised that girl, your cooking skills~" Wei Ming first came back to his senses and said with admiration on his face.
"Childe, if you like it~" Hearing the unspecified compliment, Abbe's face turned slightly red, and he said with a little shyness: "Childe, hurry up and eat, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold for a while." β
"Hmmm! Good. Wei Ming answered, picked up the bowl of rice, and was about to eat, and at this moment, Meng Po, who also came back to her senses but did not speak, suddenly looked at Abbe and said:
"This girl, I saw that you were preparing to close the stall before, and you must have eaten yet~ Why don't you take another pair of chopsticks and eat with us?"
"That's right~ You can also sit down and eat together! It's a little more lively when there are more people! Wei Ming also echoed.
Hearing what Meng Po and Weiming said, Abbe's eyes couldn't help but glance at Weiming, and a trace of expectation flashed on her face, but then she shook her head again and again, and said: "I can't help it, I'm a chef, and you are guests, how can there be a reason for chefs and guests to sit at the same table, no, no..."
"Okay, don't worry about those etiquette~"
Where did Meng Po care about that, she directly grabbed Abbe's arm and sat beside her on the shoulder, leaned into her ear, and said with a meaningful smile: "Our Dongfang son, don't appreciate those who stick to the old rules~"
As soon as the words fell, Meng Po felt the delicate body beside her tremble slightly, and then the body that was still struggling slightly suddenly quieted down, Meng Po saw this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help showing a smile, and she thought to herself: "What a simple good girl!" And there is such a good craft, deceive... Oh no, it's coaxing to serve the unknown life, it's just the right fit'
"Sister Meng, what are you talking about with the female master?" Seeing Meng Po whispering something in Ah Bei's ear, he couldn't help but ask curiously, and because Ah Bei and Wei Ming have not exchanged names, so Wei Ming should still 'don't know' Ah Bei's name, so in order not to arouse Meng Po's 'suspicion', he temporarily replaced it with a female master.
"No, it's nothing~" Meng Po replied casually to Weiming, and then continued to look at Abbe with an inquiring eye.
Ah Bei, who was sitting next to Meng Po, was flushed at this time, as if she had made up her mind, nodded and said, "Okay, then the little woman will bother~"
Seeing that Abbe agreed, the smile on Meng Po's face became a little thicker, and she began to laugh: "What are you saying, this is your place, and it is us who are bothering!" β
As she spoke, Meng Po took the spare dishes and chopsticks on the side and put them in front of Abbe, and then turned her head to look at Wei Ming, who had not moved the chopsticks.
"What do you want me to do? Hurry up and eat! He said something for some reason, and then he was no longer polite, and took the lead in stretching out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fine meat and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Hmm~ delicious!" Unclear heartfelt admiration.
"Childe, if you like it~" Abbe was happy to see the unknown food, and also whispered in response.
Seeing this, Meng Po also smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat quickly!" β
"Hmm~" Abbe still whispered.
Looking at a small jasper like Abbe, well-behaved and sensible, Meng Po's heart became more and more fond of it, and at the same time, seeing her unclear eyes and demeanor, the idea of wanting to lead her to entry was even more deep-rooted.
In fact, just waiting for the unclear to move the chopsticks first, it is also a small test of Meng Po to Abbe, although she herself does not pay attention to secular rules, but except for the unclear, although she always thinks of herself as a sister on weekdays, but as long as she is with the unknown, Meng Po must be based on the unknown, and as the person that Meng Po fancies, this aspect naturally needs to be paid a little attention.

After dinner, the three of them were satisfied.
During the banquet, it was not clear that because of the practice of the afternoon, she naturally concentrated on eating, but in contrast, Meng Po was eating, while holding the idea of clichΓ©s, pretending to chat with Abbe inadvertently, such as what is her surname and where is her hometown? Why did you come to Dukang Village or something.
When the three of them finished eating, Meng Po also knew Abbe's name and also knew her origin.
Similar to the impression of the unknown, Abbe here is also a Sichuan Shu person, originally ran a restaurant at home with his old father, and later his father died of illness, she came to Luoyang to join distant relatives in accordance with her father's wishes, but who would have thought that when Abbe came to Luoyang thousands of miles away, he found that his relatives had already moved for many years.
With the mentality that what has come is safe, Abei simply stayed, relying on the surplus money brought out by the family, she directly opened a restaurant outside Dukang Village, although it is not a lot of money because the place is a little remote, but it is not a problem to take care of food and clothing by herself.
In addition to these, Meng Po also learned an unexpected thing from Abbey's mouth, that is, Abbey's 'reason' for looking at the unknown.
"You mean... When you broke into the Huang Mansion last year, you were locked up in the side room, and you happened to be rescued by him? Meng Po looked at Abbe in surprise and asked.
Abbe nodded shyly, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Weiming, and then before he found out, he quickly retracted it.
"No wonder~"
Meng Po suddenly realized that feelings are an old-fashioned story of a hero saving beauty!
At first, she thought that Abbe was a woman who didn't know when she hooked up before!? I pretended not to care, I didn't know, and now that I think about it, it's a little silly, but I don't know if I shouldn't notice it~
Meng Po turned her head to look at Weiming, but found that he was still stunned, and couldn't help but nod secretly: Hmm~ He shouldn't have found it.
And it is not known...
