Chapter: 3903

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I won't bother with the invitation."

Luo Jia Cheng hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, don't be too polite!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and went into the room with Fei Ke Xin.

As it was called a room, it was actually just an ordinary brick house.

The room wasn't very large, but it was relatively spacious inside, with only one wall adjacent to the door.

A square earthen platform had been built above that wall, with a fire burning below, fueled by wood charcoal. The flames were quite fierce, causing the lid of the large iron pot above to emit steam and water vapor from all four sides.

The entire room was filled with a rich meaty aroma.

Unknown to her, as soon as she caught a whiff of this intense meaty aroma with a spicy flavor, her mouth started uncontrollably producing saliva.

She took out a small bottle of mineral water from her bag, sipped it lightly to cover up her embarrassment, and at the same time wondered in her heart: "This duck meat smells incredibly fragrant, but will the food here be edible?"

In her hesitation, Ye Chen pointed to one of the chairs and said to Wei Ke Xin: "Miss Zhang, please sit down! I don't know if the food here is to your taste. Originally, I was thinking of finding a high-end Western restaurant, but as it turned out, French cuisine is the Rolls-Royce of Western restaurants, so I guessed that as someone who grew up in France and is Chinese, you would definitely enjoy trying local specialties, hoping you won't be put off, if not to your taste, we can go change restaurants again."

Ye Chen's rambling words left Wei Ke Xin with a sense of warmth.

She thought Ye Chen was really considerate, but didn't know that Ye Chen was just making it up as he went along and had no idea about the local Western cuisine in Jinling.

Wei Ke Xin didn't realize that Ye Chen was just acting, feeling moved by his words, she smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Ye is too kind, I actually want to try something new and haven't tried before."

Ye Chen nodded, smiling: "That's perfect, this is the local specialty."

As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the pot, and a huge cloud of steam rose up to the ceiling, followed by an even more intense meaty aroma.

Wei Ke Xin also saw what was boiling away in the pot - a pot of already cooked duck meat that was constantly rolling and bubbling, with some fatty and lean pieces of pork on the side.

As someone who grew up in America, Wei Ke Xin rarely ate pork, preferring beef and chicken instead. She usually only ate low-fat chicken breast, so she had almost no appreciation for this kind of fatty pork.

But when she saw the big piece of pork rolling around in the pot, she suddenly wanted to try it out and see what flavor it was.

Ye Chen noticed her looking a bit dazed, so he handed her a slice of duck meat and placed it on her plate, saying with a smile: "I'm afraid that you ladies might be concerned about eating duck meat when you're in the presence of others, so I specially asked the cook to chop the meat into small pieces for you to try first."

As he spoke, Ye Chen hastened to explain: "Oh, by the way, my chopsticks are still unused, don't mind it."

"No, no." Wei Ke Xin quickly shook her head, seeing Ye Chen being so considerate and eager to serve her, feeling a bit shy in her heart.

Ye Chen then handed her another slice of five-flavored pork and placed it on her plate, saying: "The duck meat cooked with five-flavored pork is very delicious, and the five-flavored pork itself tastes even better. You can try it."

"There's also this crispy bean sprout dish that's being cooked here, which you definitely wouldn't be able to eat in France!"

Wei Ke Xin saw her small plate being piled high with food by Ye Chen, feeling both shy and moved, as she rarely had meals alone with a male companion. This kind of attentive care from the opposite sex was new to her.

So, she blushed slightly and nodded: "Mr. Ye, you don't have to always give me dishes, you haven't eaten anything yet yourself..." JrNovels.com
