Chapter 11
“Can’t you do better than that?!”
Chen Yu snatched the menu over immediately and glared at Chen Yike. “Second Eldest, you shall order,” he said, passing the menu to Chen Erke.
Stupefied, Chen Erke took the menu and flipped through it aimlessly. “I want a bottle of iced lemon tea,” she said after a long pause.
The female manager: “…”
“It’s fine, forget it.” Chen Yu raged in disappointment. He snatched the menu from Chen Erke’s hands and looked up at the female manager. “Beauty, you should get a pen to record my orders. We might be ordering quite a fair bit,” he said.
“Ah… sure.”
The waitress standing behind the manager walked up, pulling out the order taking machine. Seeing this, Chen Yu flipped open the menu and started reading off it. “Red braised pork knuckles, stewed pig intestines, stir-fried shrimp, pan-fried dumplings, deep-fried ribbonfish, twice-cooked pork, glazed pork belly…
Chen Erke wiped the corner of her mouth and stole a glance at Chen Yike. Unable to hold it anymore, she picked up a piece of intestine and blew on the steam before putting it into her mouth impatiently.
Seeing both her younger sisters digging in, Chen Yike took a sniff of the fragrance floating toward her. She sighed and picked up some chopsticks, joining the “hungry wolf” trio.
Chen Sanke, who had her mouth full, started to get anxious. Reluctantly, she spat out more than half of the prawns in her mouth and chewed on the rest slightly before stretching her neck and swallowing them down. As the food flowed down her throat, she squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
“Third Eldest, I beg you, please eat slowly!”
“Mhmm…”
“Second Eldest! Look at how unsophisticated you are! You can’t eat a ribbon fish’s head!”
“Oh.”
“Eldest, why are you looking so sorrowful? Are you having your last meal?”
“Brother…” Chen Yike swallowed down the food in her mouth. “I still do not think that it’s a good idea to get yourself a sugar mommy….”
Bang!
Chen Yu raised his hand, smacking her head hard. “So much food yet it’s still unable to fill your mouth.”
“Brother! I want rice!” Chen Erke raised her hand.
“No, just eat the dishes on their own!”
“They’re a bit salty.”
“Drink the juice….”
Half an hour later, at lightning speed, the Chen siblings had cleared one-third of the table.
“I’m full.”
Chen Yike was the last to finish eating. After satisfying her cravings, she looked down at her bloated belly, rubbing it. At the same time, feelings of worry and sorrow started surfacing on her face again.
A thousand yuan had just flown away.
There were so many things they could do with that amount of money!
Her brother had gone insane…
“Was it delicious?” Chen Yu asked, passing her a toothpick.
“Yes.” She nodded, receiving the toothpick.
