Chapter 231 Dinner Reception
Influenced by the atmosphere of home, Funina's mood became extremely good.
She followed Paimon with a smile and returned to the kitchen to serve rice and dishes.
As for the ancient dust in the kitchen...
He was almost done cooking, and several dishes were quickly served.
Before long, a sumptuous dinner was served on the restaurant table.
Gu Chen, Paimon and Funina sat at the dining table in turn.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Gu Chen was still planning to pretend to make an opening statement, such as saying that we warmly welcome Funina's arrival...
But, looking left at Funina, who was swaying gently and smiling with a happy face and in a very good mood...
Look to the right, Paimon's eyes are shining and his mouth is drooling...
Gu Chen suddenly lost the mood to make any opening remarks.
He suddenly understood something.
Why are you talking so much nonsense? We are all family!
So, slapping his forehead, Gu Chen, the host, was the first to pick up the chopsticks and spoke out his recent realization:
"No more nonsense, we're all family, let's just start eating!"
Paimon couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and immediately started to eat the rice and dishes in no time.
Finina was stunned when she saw how fast Paimon was eating.
Although she had heard about Paimeng's eating speed from Gu Chen before, she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw it with her own eyes.
After a moment of shock, it is inevitable to panic.
She had to pick up her chopsticks quickly, otherwise what if Paimon didn't leave any for them?
So Funina stopped hesitating and was no longer reserved. She quickly picked up her chopsticks and tasted Gu Chen's cooking.
After tasting the food for the first time, Funina couldn't help but smile. She praised the dishes repeatedly:
"Gu Chen, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. These dishes taste so good!"
Facing Fu Nina's praise, Gu Chen was both proud and humble. He waved his hand gently:
“It’s okay, just okay.
To be honest, my cooking skills are just decent, not the top level in Liyue.
The top culinary establishments in Liyue are undoubtedly Liuli Pavilion, Xinyuexuan, Wanmintang... Oh, and Wangshu Inn should also be added."
While Funina was tasting the dishes one by one, Gu Chen started to chatter in her ear:
"Actually, I've thought about inviting you to dinner tonight at the restaurants I just mentioned.
But, after all, this is your first meal since leaving Fontaine and coming to Liyue, and after all, you came to my mansion.
I always feel a little guilty if I don’t cook for you myself.
Fortunately, my cooking skills are still good, and my cooking speed and efficiency have improved, so I prepared this dinner in time.
Funina, don't be polite or humble.
You've seen how fast Paimeng eats. If you're even slightly humble, she might bully you at the dinner table."
This was a bit too blunt, and even Funina, who was eating, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Maintaining a suitable eating speed, Funina chatted with Gu Chen while eating:
“This is my first time eating authentic Liyue cuisine.
There are also several Liyue restaurants in Fontainebleau, and those restaurants also have the so-called Liyue flavor, which I have tried before.
However, the taste of those restaurants is not as authentic as what we eat now.
I always feel like those flavors... seem to have been altered."
After taking two bites of food, Gu Chen nodded in agreement:
“The taste of the Liyue restaurant in Fontainebleau has definitely been changed, that’s basically certain.
Because no matter where the food is from, if you want to eat the most authentic one, you have to go to the local area.
If the local cuisine of this place wants to break out of the local area and develop in other places, it must adapt to the tastes of other regions.
Otherwise the restaurant will not be able to operate.
The essence of a restaurant is still to do business and make money.
It’s not surprising that they adapt to the tastes of the region in order to survive.”
Furninna nodded seriously while eating:
"It makes sense, it makes sense..."
As she ate and enjoyed the delicious food, Funina couldn't help but wonder about tomorrow's plans and the following arrangements:
"By the way, Gu Chen, tomorrow and in the next period of time, I plan to have a good time exploring Liyue.
But how should we plan our trip? Where should we go for fun?
Moreover, as the most prosperous commercial port in the world, Liyue Harbor must have many Fontainebleau people.
If I run into these Fontaine people, they will definitely recognize me, and what if I get into trouble?"
In response to Funina's worry, Gu Chen smiled mysteriously:
"Don't worry, I have a solution.
I promise that you can travel around Liyue carefree like an ordinary person, and I promise that the people of Fontaine won't recognize you."
Hearing this, Fu Nina couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and looked at Gu Chen expectantly:
"any solution?"
Gu Chen smiled even more mysteriously:
"You'll find out tomorrow."
In this way, a sumptuous reception dinner gradually came to an end, and Funina ate very satisfied.
Fortunately, Gu Chen prepared a lot of dishes in advance, which made Funina satisfied.
The amount of food on this table may be too much for three people, but it is just right for two people and a Paimon.
So after Funina had finished her meal and Gu Chen had put down his chopsticks, Paimeng was still cleaning up the leftovers on the table like a whirlwind.
By the time Paimeng put down his chopsticks and leaned back in his chair, holding his round belly, the plates in front of Gu Chen and Funina had all been cleared.
The plates were quite clean, with only some residual soup and oil left, and not a single piece of leftover food.
Looking at this scene, Funina's mouth twitched.
She had a more intuitive understanding of Paimon's terrifying appetite.
At the same time, she looked at Paimon's round belly with an unbearable expression.
Although his belly has grown bigger, it feels like this is not Paimon's limit.
And for Paimon, if she wanted to digest the food, she could do so in an instant!
As expected, Paimon’s origin is not simple.
This ability to overeat is unparalleled!
The dinner ended with an inexplicable shock.
After dinner, Gu Chen began to clear the table and Funina also came to help.
While the two of them were cleaning up, Paimon was still slumped in the chair, holding his round belly, looking extremely lazy.
Gu Chen couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He knew that Paimeng was squinting her eyes, not completely closing them. She could definitely see what was happening in front of him.
So, Gu Chen couldn't help but say a few words to Paimeng:
"Paimon, what are you pretending to be? Why don't you come and help?"
Paimon didn't even move his butt, still in that contented state, his tone was lazy:
"Oh, isn't this an extra laborer like Funina?
I'll leave the cleaning up and dishes to you two. I can take a rare day off today!"
Gu Chen couldn't help but swear a little:
"Take a fucking vacation!
It's as if we're both tired of clearing the table and washing dishes together."
