Wife is Fierce, Don’t Mess With Her!-Chapter 861: Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao'er (33)
Yu Bao’er merely walked around with Huo Yingcheng, with no specific destination in mind.
There weren’t any special places in Dayi City, not even cultural attractions. There were only modern facilities in this city.
Yu Bao’er treated Huo Yingcheng to a meal at an old restaurant she liked visiting in the past.
“The place might not look like much, but the food is superb. Though, it’s been a long time since I came. I don’t know if they’re still around. Before I moved house, I particularly liked coming here to eat their fish…”
Yu Bao’er was in high spirits as she took Huo Yingcheng to one of her favorite eateries. On the way, she was all smiles when she introduced this restaurant to Huo Yingcheng.
Perhaps because Huo Yingcheng was a lonely and cold old man, when he saw the young lady smiling so joyfully and hearing the excitement as she talked, for some reason, his heart skipped a beat.
At the time, he hadn’t sensed it. He could only feel that his mouth was turning dry.
He assumed it was from being under the sun for too long.
“Aiyah, it’s still around!”
The place Yu Bao’er was talking about was in an old district whose vicinity was still being developed. There was construction going on nearby, and the nearby plot of land had begun to show signs of prosperity.
Yu Bao’er gazed at the shop and scratched her head. “The renovation’s changed, but the name is still the same. It should be this one.”
Because the nearby plot of land was where Yu Bao’er and her family previously lived, it was under renovation.
Huo Yingcheng looked up and sized up the place. Compared to the places he was accustomed to eating at, this was shabby.
Though he considered it shabby, an ordinary person might consider the renovation of this small shop exquisite.
As it was noontime, there were plenty of diners inside. Compared to other shops which appeared emptier, this shop’s business was indeed not bad.
After all, due to the redevelopment, there weren’t many residents in the area anymore.
It was only recently that people started slowly moving in.
Thankfully, Huo Yingcheng wasn’t a severe case of a clean freak like his major-general.
Huo Yingcheng thought to himself that Helian Niancheng definitely wouldn’t enter such a place.
At the thought of this, Huo Yingcheng smiled. In front, Yu Bao’er turned her head and without realizing what she was doing, tugged at Huo Yingcheng’s sleeve. “Let’s hurry up. There are still tables available upstairs. If we’re any later, they will all be taken up and we will be left with no seats.”
Huo Yingcheng immediately looked towards that fair and clean wrist holding his sleeve.
But the owner of that hand very quickly let go, for she had already entered to ask the wait staff about seatings.
“Let’s go upstairs. There are tables up there.”
Yu Bao’er took Huo Yingcheng upstairs.
Thankfully, there weren’t many people upstairs, so they could still find a table by the window.
After sitting down, Yu Bao’er picked up the menu and handed it to Huo Yingcheng. “Don’t say I never treat you to good food. I feel that the food here tastes pretty good. They serve the best fish dish I’ve ever eaten.”
Huo Yingcheng looked at the menu. In terms of prices, a glass of alcohol at the restaurants he usually went would cost as much as an entire meal here.
However, seeing Yu Bao’er seriously recommend this place, he didn’t say much. After looking at the menu, he chose two dishes without much thought, then tossed them to Yu Bao’er. “Order what you want. I’ve already ordered.”
Yu Bao’er took a look. “This place serves excellent steamed fish head with preserved chili, Sour and Spicy Crucian Carp, and crucian fish soup! They taste awesome!”
Yu Bao’er happily said as she decided on ordering these three dishes.
