Xihai is a coastal city rich in seafood, so that night, the group of leaders dined at a seafood restaurant.

This restaurant is not very high-end, but it is famous far and wide because the restaurant is located near the harbor, with the right time and location, good quality and low price.

This meal was hosted by the chairman of the organizing committee, and leaders of the municipal party committee were also present. Mr. Louis was undoubtedly the distinguished guest, and Guan Shouheng accompanied him personally. Mint was also invited to attend.

A group of more than ten people requested a private room with a sea view.

Although it is already evening and the scenery outside is no longer visible, listening to the sound of the waves and feeling the breath of the sea breeze is still refreshing.

The round dining table is filled with all kinds of seafood, including steaming, cooking and frying. There is also a baking pan in the middle of the round table, so diners can do it themselves and enjoy the fun of DIY.

Mr. Lewis enthusiastically pulled Mint to sit next to him, like a loving father. Mint felt particularly warm in his heart.

Guan Shouheng sat on the other side of him, listening to Louis chattering to her about his son. The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became.

"Mr. Lewis, your barbecue is ready." Guan Shouheng seemed to be reminding him, but in fact he was interrupting.

"Oh? So fast!" Mr. Lewis was pleasantly surprised. He picked up a crab with small iron tongs and put it into a mint dinner plate.

"Mr. Lewis..." Mint was flattered and quickly wanted to refuse, but the other party did not give her a chance to refuse and said enthusiastically, "Miss Bo, you eat first. My son said that no matter when and where, he will eat."

Show the gentlemanly demeanor of a French man!”

Mr. Louis still talks about his son Henry.

Mint smiled shyly, "Thank you, Mr. Lewis."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, that's right! What I'm doing today can only be regarded as...well, you have an idiom in China called...borrowing from the Buddha..."

"Borrow flowers to offer to Buddha?" someone prompted.

"Yes, yes! Borrow flowers to offer to Buddha!" ​​Mr. Louis finally remembered and continued with a smile, "Miss Bo, I will treat this meal as borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. When you have the opportunity to go to France in the future, I will treat you well again!"

I have a manor in the suburbs of Paris, and we will go there for a picnic! Don’t worry, Henry’s cooking skills are very good, you can eat whatever you want!”

Guan Shouheng secretly grinded his teeth.

But everyone else laughed and said jokingly, "Hey, Mr. Louis, are you too anxious? You want to abduct our Chinese girl to your France to be your wife so soon?"

"That's right, this is too impatient!"

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"

Everyone was laughing and joking.

"Tofu?" Mr. Lewis was very curious and didn't know what it was.

Mint had no choice but to explain, "Tofu is a traditional Chinese food that has been around since the Han Dynasty. Today, it has a history of more than 2,100 years. It is made from black beans, soybeans, white beans, peas, peanuts and mung beans.

Can be used for crafting.”

Mr. Lewis was stunned for a moment after hearing this, feeling very magical.

"Miss Bo, I hear you saying that tofu is a delicacy, right? Then when there is a chance, when Henry comes to China, can you treat him to a meal of tofu?" Mr. Lewis asked expectantly.

Mint is simply ridiculous. Eat a meal of tofu? How can anyone talk like that?

Although she knew that Mr. Lewis did not mean to be rude at all, such words still made people feel uncomfortable!

"Uh..." She hesitated in embarrassment.

"Ahem..." Guan Shouheng cleared his throat in displeasure and said, "Mr. Lewis, in addition to tofu, China also has many delicacies, such as pork head meat!"

Mint's mouth twitched, what was he talking about?

Guan Shouheng acted as if nothing had happened and explained pork head meat to Louis with great interest.

How could Louis, a foreigner who knew so much, actually listen seriously?

Mint glanced at Guan Shouheng secretly and couldn't help but mutter in her heart, when did he become so sinister?

Guan Shouheng glanced out of the corner of his eye and caught her peeking at her, his handsome eyebrows raised slightly.

Mint quickly looked away, lowered her head and fought hard with the crabs on the plate.

But God knows she is the last person to handle this kind of thing. She used to be unwilling to peel shrimps herself, let alone crabs.

What a hassle!

"Miss Bo, why don't you eat?" Mr. Lewis noticed something strange about her.

Mint shook his head quickly, "Nothing, I'm just waiting for it to cool down a little."

Mr. Louis thought about it for a moment and seemed to understand her dilemma, but he didn't know how to do this kind of thing. The most common food people eat in France is foie gras.

"Hey, it would be great if Henry were here. He is very skillful and very helpful!" Louis began to praise his son vigorously again.

"Then he must have inherited your merits, Mr. Lewis." Mint responded politely.

"He's much better than me! Don't you have a saying in China called...what's green and what's blue?"

"You're better than the old!" someone next to me reminded me.

"Oh, yes, that's it!" Mr. Lewis's eyes lit up, and he turned to Mint and said, "Miss Bo, Henry is better than the blue!"

Mint nodded shyly and smiled.

"Mr. Lewis..." Guan Shouheng couldn't help but interrupt, "There is an old saying in China, which is that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!"

The back wave beat the front wave to death on the beach!

Of course, he could only say this in his heart.

"Oh? What does that mean?" Mr. Lewis asked curiously.

"It means..." Guan Shouheng explained with a smile.

But Mint narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be malicious.

Guan Shouheng suddenly raised his eyes and caught her peeking again.

Mint's face turned red, and she quickly picked up the cup and took a sip of the drink.

There was an LCD TV hanging on the wall on one side of the box, which was playing pop music VCR. She pretended to watch it, but the more she watched, the more interesting it became, and she didn't look away for a long time.

Louis talked with Guan Shouheng from time to time. Although Guan Shouheng usually didn't talk much and didn't like to socialize, he was very patient today and answered all the doubts raised by Louis in detail.

Mint looked at the screen silently. The beautiful TV picture made her couldn't help but smile. The faint smile on the corner of her mouth was so quiet, yet so beautiful.

Time can change many things, such as age, appearance, experience, etc., but things in a person's bones will not change easily. This is the case with Mint. Even if her situation is not as good as before, even if she has been living a very difficult life for the past ten years, she

The aura from the inside out has not disappeared, it is still so quiet, yet so dazzling.

Finally, after the VCR of a song was played, Mint slowly came back to his senses and turned his attention back to the dining table.

But when he lowered his head, he discovered that the crab on his plate had been completely taken care of!

Who did it?

She raised her eyes suspiciously and saw Guan Shouheng wiping his hands with a tissue, and there was a pile of crab shells piled in the small dish containing garbage on his left hand side.

What's even more incredible is that while talking to Mr. Louis, he said harmlessly, "Mr. Louis, if there is a chance in the future, I must meet Henry to see who of us is better at craftsmanship? Let's compare notes together!"

"

Mr. Lewis didn't know the details and readily agreed, "Okay, okay, no problem!"

Mint sympathized deeply in her heart.

"Miss Bo, please eat it quickly while it's hot!"

"...Okay, thank you Mr. Louis, thank you...Mr. Guan." Mint said in embarrassment.

His behavior reminded her of the past, when they used to eat together, he would take care of her in this way, peeling shrimps and other things cleanly for her.

Although she could do it, she found it troublesome, and he did it quickly and well, so she couldn't help but want to rely on him.

In fact, she had eaten all the expensive steaks and the best seafood, but before she met him, no one had pampered her so much.

Chefs in six-star hotels and maids at home can prepare delicacies, but no one will be so considerate to her.

"How does it taste?" Louis asked eagerly.

The mint feels fresh and tender on the tip of the tongue. The crab must be top-notch, but the taste... is a bit complicated.

"It's delicious!" She felt an indescribable taste in her mouth.

Mint quickly lowered her eyes to hide her emotions for fear of losing control.

Guan Shouheng's dark eyes also flashed with a hint of unbearable emotion.

"If it's delicious, eat more, and I'll bake one for you!" Mr. Lewis said enthusiastically.

"Dong dong——" The waiter knocked on the door and brought cold beer.

In fact, you should not drink beer when eating seafood, because seafood contains purine substances, and the rich vitamin b1 in beer is an important catalyst for purine metabolism. When the two meet, they will produce too much uric acid, which can cause gout. Uric acid

Too much will be deposited in joints or soft tissues, causing inflammation of joints and soft tissues.

But Mr. Louis didn't think it mattered, because on their way to the restaurant, they passed by some food stalls by the seaside. Many people in the food stalls were doing this, eating meat and drinking wine. Louis felt that it was an eye-opener, so he called again.

Waiter added.

"Please use it, everyone." The waiter opened a few bottles of beer and left politely.
