Chapter 697: Chapter 694: The Immortal’s Trick (6)
Bo Yan looked unperturbed, “Gourmet food APP.”
Indeed, in this day and age, whatever you want to do, there’s an APP that can provide references, look at reviews, check out photos, and even navigation is easy as they come with integrated maps—just follow the directions. He had chosen a restaurant near the school, and since Xia Siyu wanted to experience life, of course, this was the best kind of place to come to.
“This place has high ratings, the cost per person isn’t high, but with a high school, a university, and a residential area nearby, it does quite a good business.” Bo Yan looked around, “It’s a little dirty and noisy, though. If you don’t like it, we can switch to a better environment.”
“It doesn’t matter, let’s stay here.” Xia Siyu saw that there were indeed students wearing the same uniform as her, brought by their parents for a meal. She was worried about not being able to observe enough, and this place was simply perfect.
Moreover, the aroma wafting through the air here was truly irresistible. Seeing the people at the next table eating heartily, tears uncontrollably streamed from the corners of her mouth.
Xia Siyu herself was fond of little street eateries. When she was in Sicily Island, she was enthusiastic about going out and looking for different kinds of delicacies. Before, she had taken Bo Yan to a small restaurant that specialized in Sicilian rice balls.
After returning to her country, she hadn’t yet had the chance to sample the street food before she entered the entertainment industry, a place abuzz with activity. Unless surrounded by bodyguards, she wouldn’t dare go even if she wanted to.
She hadn’t expected Bo Yan to bring her here.
In a strict sense, this was their first date after getting back together. However, compared to those places with great ambiance, soothing music, and waiters who are extremely attentive, where a huge plate contains only a tiny bit of food adorned with all sorts of fancy garnishes, she’d rather choose this place.
Furthermore, here, she could observe the myriad facets of life. Bo Yan had said that she need to learn to “observe.” Since she was shooting nearby, wasn’t this a godsent opportunity?
Bo Yan found a really good spot, both secluded in the corner and offering a view of the surroundings.
The middle-aged men at the next table, either from the beer or the grilled food, had flushed faces and were discussing everything from recent stocks to foreign trade, and onto the international situation, occasionally shouting, “Boss, bring the food!” At the table beside them, parents with their children in school uniforms were inquiring about the kids’ school performance. Behind them were a group of university students talking about recent club activities and group assignments.
The hustle and bustle of the mundane world was indeed a life experience she hadn’t gone through.
Like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, Xia Siyu found everything novel and interesting. In observation, the food arrived soon after. The owner first brought the stove and charcoal, followed by the meat for grilling. The meat was semi-cooked—that’s to say, literally half-done; it was already grilled to medium-rare, and the guests had to manage the rest of the cooking themselves.
While Bo Yan grilled the meat, Xia Siyu finally had no energy to look around, her eyes glued to the grill. Bo Yan skillfully took beef and lamb and various offals; the sizzling meat was the most pleasing symphony. Seasoned expertly with chili, cumin, and Sichuan pepper, having lived together, they had similar tastes. Bo Yan didn’t need Xia Siyu to tell him specifically; he could adjust it to her satisfaction on his own.
When Bo Yan nodded, saying “It’s ready,” Xia Siyu couldn’t resist anymore and took off her mask. With a skewer of lamb in her left hand and a skewer of squid in her right, the delicious taste made her squint her eyes like a contented cat.
