Chapter 37 It turns out that it’s so easy to bow your head

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Gu Lingsi bit her lower lip in embarrassment and looked towards the end of the table with pleading eyes.

When Ning Xu saw this, he lazily straightened his back and planned to speak to ease the atmosphere.

I don’t know if Xia Ling saw his plan, but he revealed it lightly:

"Okay, that's it. Since Mingdai likes this food, she has to finish it before leaving."

The hidden line is - if Mingdai doesn't like it, I won't stay here for one more minute!

Everyone was shocked!

No one thought that Xia Ling would be so kind to a so-called friend!

This understanding completely eliminated their contempt for Mingdai and decided to re-examine Mingdai's existence!

Family background, ability, etc. are not important. If Ming Dai’s ideas can directly affect the dignified Xia Ling, then what’s the difficulty in saying some polite words to her and taking the initiative to make friends? Nothing is more important than interests!

...just like a butterfly flapping its wings gently, it set off an unparalleled hurricane.

Something subtle was changing in the air, making Mingdai the center of a hurricane.

Mingdai is keenly aware of the emotions around her, how could she not know what these people are thinking?

She really didn't know whether to be sarcastic or admired.

In the past life, these proud men who had higher eyes than others turned out to be so easy to bow their heads.

But Mingdai did not become arrogant when she gained power easily. Instead, she ignored these people's overtures and spoke to Xia Ling in a low voice.

Others were aware of the current situation and found topics on their own, chatting in twos and threes.

The awkward and anxious atmosphere just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if nothing had happened.

On the other hand, Gu Lingsi, who was in charge, seemed to be ignored.

She lowered her eyes gloomily and sighed softly.

Tang Xue was full of grievances: "I'm sorry, Sister Lingsi..."

Gu Lingsi couldn't blame her and patted her hand: "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it."

Tang Xue gritted her teeth and lowered her voice: "That Ming Dai is actually!"

"Okay, don't make Xia Ling angry anymore."

Gu Lingsi interrupted her.

The conversation between the two was not heard by others.

Soon the waiters brought the ordered dishes one by one. Since everyone was still students, there was no accompanying wine today.

After the appetizers and appetizers were over, it was the turn of the main course. Everyone at the table had different choices and the dishes were all served at about the same time. Only the Provence stew that Mingdai wanted did not come.

But this time no one dared to laugh at her, they were just curious about what would happen next.

Soon, Mr. Henry, the head chef, came personally with the Provence stew.

"I personally prepared the stew, I hope it will satisfy you, the beautiful Miss Dongfang."

Mr. Henry is indeed a romantic F-countryman, and he praises Mingdai all the time.

Mingdai accepted it calmly, picked up the knife and fork, and was about to start eating...

Mr. Henry did not leave, but stood aside with his hands down, as if waiting for Mingdai's evaluation.

Mingdai roughly guessed what he was thinking, she shook her head with a helpless smile, cut off the vegetables piled in a tower shape, dipped them in the sauce, and put it into her mouth.

Mingdai's table manners are very elegant and perfect, as if she has learned them for many years, which makes Tang Xue very reluctant to wait to see her laugh.

What Tang Xue doesn't know is that these are the results of Mingdai's hard training in her previous life——

When Mingdai was first admitted to the family, she was not liked by her family, so she naturally thought that she was not as elegant and beautiful as Gu Lingsi, so she tried her best to learn from Gu Lingsi and integrate into the Gu family, which caused many jokes.

Table etiquette is one of her efforts, and the effect of practicing it is good, but it is a pity that it has not been put to any use...

Now, Ming Dai does not deliberately look elegant. She looks very relaxed and has the calmness of a gourmet.

Mr. Henry's eyes were shining, and he was looking forward to Mingdai's evaluation.

When Mingdai took another bite, Henry couldn't wait to ask:

"How about it?"

“Very delicious, but not amazing.”

"Can you tell me more about it?"

"The flavor of the sauce is too strong and completely overwhelms the taste of the vegetables. Is there eggplant and zucchini in it? It feels like the heat is a bit too much, and the taste is not consistent with other vegetables, which drags it down..."

Ming Dai spoke eloquently, as if she had suddenly become a senior gourmet, and the entire dining table had become her home court.

Henry, on the other hand, looked confused and didn't seem to understand.

Xia Ling, who watched with great interest, guessed that Henry might not fully understand, so she took the initiative to act as a translator.

Henry's expression gradually became excited as he translated each sentence:

"You have the same idea as me! Not long ago, I felt that this dish had shortcomings, but I couldn't think of any specific problems, so after I came to China to open this restaurant, I took it off the main menu just to study more.

Research…your advice is simply fantastic!”

Henry was very excited and urged Mingdai to give more and better suggestions.

Mingdai couldn't resist and said a few more words.

"Or you can bake in layers..."

The old white man was so excited that he held Mingdai's hand hard and shook it up and down:

"Yes! This is it! I know how to make it! Soon I will be able to work out the most perfect stew! Beautiful lady, please allow me to give you a free order today, you don't know how much inspiration your words have given me!

"

"……OK."

Mingdai touched her nose.

She really didn't expect this development.

Xia Ling was more direct and said in front of everyone:

"So today's meal is considered to be Ming Dai's invitation?"

"..."

No one else dared to speak.

Gu Lingsi was silent for a few seconds, but still smiled:

"Yes, it seems that I have to thank Mingdai today. Then I will invite you again another day, Xia Ling, and you and Mingdai must come then."

"Let's talk about it then."

Xia Ling is neither cold nor indifferent.

The others moved their knives and forks again, looking at Ming Dai from time to time.

Mingdai lowered her gaze. The colorful and exquisite stew on the white porcelain plate was like a blur of light and shadow, dragging her back to the Seine River in her previous life. The dim street lights lit up one after another along the street, the moist gentle breeze blowing on the river, and the people sitting on her

The man opposite.

'This Provence stew is Henry's latest masterpiece. I heard that he has been researching it for three years and claims that it is the most perfect stew in the world. What do you think it tastes like?'

The man's illusory face was like a cloud in the sky blown away by the wind, leaving only the comments about Mr. Henry's specialty dishes.

Using Mr. Henry’s breakthrough a few years later to stimulate current inspiration is not cheating, right?

Ming Dai thought.

After finishing a meal, some people are not affected, while others have no taste at all.

Ming Dai belongs to the former group. No matter whether others are happy or not, she is happy eating anyway.

After a group of people walked out of the restaurant, Ming Dai and Xia Ling did not intend to participate in the following activities, so they said goodbye and left.

Gu Lingsi stared at the direction they left.

"Sister Lingsi?"

Gu Lingsi turned back with a smile and tucked her messy hair behind her ears.

"Sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable today, so I'm going home first."
