Chapter 1246 - 1243: The Pool at Home, a Perfect Place
Facing Luofeng’s initiative to greet, Tangya calmly said, "Has it really been a long time?"
It does seem so.
The last time Luofeng came back to see the little fairy off, he didn’t meet with Tangya alone.
So, it has indeed been a while since they last saw each other.
"It has indeed been a long time. By the way, Auntie, what are we having for lunch?" Luofeng said.
Bai Ningbing said, "I’ve agreed with Mom to have bean curd rice!"
"Great, that sounds good! Where should we go to eat? Any recommendations?" Luofeng replied.
"It’s near the bank. A colleague from Shu City once took my mom there, and the taste is very good," Bai Ningbing said.
"Yes, it’s close, in the old community over there!" Bai Ningbing added.
"No problem!" Luofeng nodded.
The group didn’t drive.
Bai Ningbing led the way in front.
She felt embarrassed to walk with Luofeng.
Because walking with Luofeng, he would hold her hand again.
When no one is around, it doesn’t matter how Luofeng behaves with her.
But with mom present.
Holding hands would feel a bit embarrassing.
Luofeng felt a bit sheepish inside; even just holding hands felt so... What if...?
Scary.
Stop it.
Such a terrifying thought.
Luofeng and Tangya walked behind, and he glanced at Tangya’s brown LV classic bag, casually asking, "Auntie, do you work this afternoon?"
Tangya shook her head and said, "There’s just an important document that’s inconvenient to leave at the office."
Luofeng raised an eyebrow.
Tangya’s answer carried important information.
Important document? Inconvenient to leave at the office?
Implying? Complex relationships in the office?
"Auntie is still at the credit department, right?" Luofeng inquired.
"Yes, yes!" Tangya nodded, sneaking a peek at Luofeng.
Bai Ningbing walking ahead urged, "You guys hurry up!"
Frightened, Tangya had to retract her glance at Luofeng.
"Coming!" Luofeng responded.
After about five or six minutes, Luofeng followed Bai Ningbing and Tangya, walking into the old community.
This old community had been transformed into shops.
One of the shop signboards at the entrance was called Zhang Ji Beancurd Restaurant.
At the entrance, a large iron pot was placed, filled with bean curd.
An elderly man with graying hair was preparing Dipping Sauce on a chopping board beside.
The shop already had several tables of people.
Bai Ningbing used the local Shanghai dialect and said, "Uncle, we want three bowls of bean curd rice, two portions of roasted pepper minced meat sauce, one cold mixed three-shreds, and one cold mixed cucumber! Don’t add too much chili to the cold dishes!"
This was to accommodate Tangya.
Tangya definitely wouldn’t eat the roasted pepper minced meat Dipping Sauce.
This is a condiment for the bean curd rice.
And the remaining two cold dishes shouldn’t have too much chili.
If Luofeng wanted to eat spicy three-shreds or cucumber, he could use the chili sauce from his bean curd rice.
"Oh, is it Mrs. Tang? From the bank?" The shop owner recognized Tangya.
After all, Tangya’s colleague had brought her here before.
And that colleague respected Tangya very much.
Moreover, Tangya herself was very beautiful, leaving a deep impression on the shopkeeper.
Can’t help but say, with such a beautiful mother, the daughter isn’t bad either.
But for someone like Uncle Zhang in his forties or fifties, Tangya was more attractive.
Look at that slim waist, those high heels, sheer hosiery, truly an earthly Ideally.
Unfortunately, not something he could touch, just admire.
"Yes, yes, it’s me, brother!" Tangya smiled and nodded.
"Okay, have a seat inside. I recently installed air conditioning, so even if you get sweaty from the spice, it’s no problem," Uncle Zhang laughed and said.
"Air conditioning, that’s nice." Bai Ningbing smiled and nodded.
Luofeng followed Bai Ningbing into the shop.
Inside the shop were eight long tables.
Bai Ningbing picked a spot in a corner and noticed many people glancing at them. Too beautiful is a fault? Can’t stop glancing even during a meal?
But they couldn’t hear. At one table, the young folks were discussing, "If this flies, losing ten years of life is worth it."
After all, Tangya and Bai Ningbing were truly top-notch.
But this was normal; it’s a very common male thought, right?
"Although I don’t eat chili sauce, my colleague from Shu City says this place’s chili is super great, she says it’s authentic, so it should be good," Tangya introduced, even using a bit of Sichuan dialect.
"Then I must taste it well," Luofeng replied with a smile.
The bean curd rice was served quickly.
The bean curd was pre-made.
The roasted pepper minced meat sauce was also simple to prepare.
Roasted peppers were minced, mixed with small chili flakes, minced meat, plus dried chili, cilantro, and green onions, along with pepper and other condiments.
For those who don’t eat spicy, it could really be spicy to the point of questioning life.
This roasted pepper was much better in texture than stir-fried green pepper mince.
This was also one of the specialties of this restaurant.
"Try it?" Bai Ningbing said.
Luofeng nodded.
He wasn’t particularly fond of bean curd rice.
Mainly because he found bean curd too tender, hard to pick up with chopsticks.
But the bean curd here wasn’t too old or too tender.
Just right in terms of texture.
Luofeng placed a piece of bean curd on the rice and added some roasted pepper sauce on top.
Can’t lie, it was really spicy.
But it wasn’t just spicy, it was both spicy and fragrant.
Really nice.
However, unfortunately, it didn’t receive the system’s gourmet reward card certification.
It seemed that still, because Luofeng didn’t have any particular fondness for bean curd rice.
"How is it?" Bai Ningbing asked.
"It’s okay!" Luofeng nodded.
Bai Ningbing tasted a bite herself and slightly frowned, seemingly not too satisfied?
But after eating several more bites, it wasn’t bad, just a bit lacking.
Tangya quietly ate, only sampling the less spicy cold mixed three-shreds and cucumber, then said, "Luofeng, come to our place for dinner tonight; I’ll personally cook for you?"
Using that trick again.
Luofeng chuckled inwardly; Tangya’s cooking skills were quite hazardous, but did she think this trick would drive Luofeng away?
Wishful thinking.
Luofeng planned to stir up trouble with her daughter at her house.
Hmph.
Always thinking her dark cooking would send him away?
Luofeng deliberately shook his head and said, "No, no, I have to go home for dinner tonight!"
Tangya showed a triumphant smile.
This trick never fails.
Luofeng always caves.
Yet it seems like every time, Luofeng manages to perfect it?
It’s always Luofeng who has the last laugh?
Tangya settled the bill for lunch, totaling just seventy or eighty yuan.
For such prices, it’s truly a bargain, worthy of old community goods.
After lunch, the three headed towards the bank, and Luofeng said, "Ningbing, should I send you back first?"
Tangya was speechless again.
Luofeng solved the problem again.
Not going over in the evening.
Then how about the afternoon?
Anyway, wouldn’t you have to work, Tangya?
Before Bai Ningbing could answer, Tangya stepped in and said, "I have work to handle this afternoon, so you go with Luofeng first; I’ll be back around six."
You can be as reckless as you want when I’m not home.
But when I get off work and come home.
Hmph, it’ll be trouble for you.
Who knows why Tangya has such thoughts, it’s rather peculiar.
Is it jealousy toward Bai Ningbing?
Maybe.
"Okay, Mom!" Bai Ningbing nodded.
A few minutes later, Luofeng took Bai Ningbing to the bank parking spot.
Luofeng started the car and set off with Bai Ningbing.
While on the road, Bai Ningbing took her phone and began operating the smart home system.
Turned on the air conditioner, the pool, everything in advance.
"Finally home, I love the pool at home so much!" Bai Ningbing cheered from the passenger seat.
Luofeng gave a mischievous grin, "I also really love your home’s pool!"
Thinking of last time.
When two baby fish got close in the pool...
Ahem ahem ahem.
Bai Ningbing’s cheeks turned slightly red, "You bad man, what sneaky things are you thinking about now?"
"How do you know I’m thinking sneaky things? Are you thinking?" Luofeng teased.
