Chapter 431 1 Pay attention (2)
Bulma glanced out the window.
The night lights outside the window began to light up, and occasionally the sound of a car passing by in the distance could be heard.
Her restaurant is very spacious and bright, modern and warm.
An exquisite crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, and the tablecloth was a pure white patterned style selected by Bulma herself, with a light blue embroidered edge.
On one side of the dining table was a tall glass bottle with three blooming sunflowers in it. There was a lot of food on the table, and each one looked very appetizing.
Mitsuha sat upright in the chair, looking back and forth between Du Ming and Bulma.
"Dad? Mom? They said the company is too busy, so they will stay at the company today and won't be back tonight." Bulma said casually.
"Too busy?" Du Ming was a little surprised.
Dr. Brief and his wife are not actually very busy with company affairs.
One reason is that they were not very interested in company affairs, and the other is that they have now let Bulma handle most of the company's affairs.
The two of them were actually quite free, and Du Ming could see them every day at various meal times, rest times, and before and after bedtime.
"Don't worry about mom and dad~" Bulma knocked on the table with a smile, "It's just right that there are three of us, so there's no need to be so restrained. Take a look at the food on the table, is it to your liking?"
Du Ming nodded and looked over.
Indeed, although it is a bit strange that the two are not here, it is not that strange. It is fine to just say goodbye before leaving here.
The main dish in the middle of the table caught Du Ming's eye. It was a steak braised in red wine.
"Not bad, the beef is top-notch at first glance. Each steak is cut into thick slices of moderate size, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and topped with a rich sauce stewed with red wine and spices. Not bad! Really good!"
The tender green broccoli and golden-roasted mini potatoes on the side also made Du Ming's eyes light up.
Du Ming has some say when it comes to frying and grilling meat.
Just by taking one look at the dish and smelling its tempting aroma, Du Ming could give praise without hesitation.
Bulma pulled up a chair and sat down, explaining casually, "Some new spices are added to this dish. The taste may be a little bit strange compared to the usual ones, but the taste will definitely not disappoint you."
"Oh?" Du Ming suddenly became interested.
Du Ming picked up the knife and fork to cut, cut off a small piece, dipped it in the red wine sauce on the plate, and put it into his mouth.
"It's delicious, indeed." Du Ming put down his knife and fork with a slightly strange look on his face. "But there's a smell... I think it's the new spice you mentioned. It's quite abrupt, and it feels like it was added after the dish was finished. Bulma, what spice did you add?"
"Cough, cough~~~" Sanye suddenly coughed twice.
"Are you okay, Mitsuha?" Bulma reacted faster than Du Ming and asked.
"No, it's okay, Sister Bulma." Mitsuha shook her head quickly.
"That's good." Bulma smiled and cut a piece of beef for herself and Mitsuha, dipped it in the red wine sauce, and handed it to Mitsuha: "Come on, Mitsuha, let's have some too!"
Sanye asked weakly, "Do you really want to eat?"
"Of course I'm going to eat it. Look at me, I eat it all in one bite." Bulma stuffed the beef into his mouth, and the sauce dyed his lips red.
Du Ming smiled and said, "Sanye, this beef tastes pretty good. Eat some first. If you don't like it, don't eat it."
(Not that kind of question!!!)
Sanye complained loudly in her heart, with tears in her eyes. Then she sighed and swallowed the beef resignedly.
(I hope Bulma-sister doesn’t put too much ingredients…) Mitsuha thought, and swallowed another piece of beef amid Bulma’s laughter.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but as soon as Sanye ate the sauce, she felt a little warmer.
"Come, Du Ming, have some soup~~"
Just as he put the clover in his mouth, he heard Bulma give Du Mingyao a bowl of soup.
"Thank you!" Du Ming clasped his fists and smiled, then took the cream pumpkin soup from her hand.
"This soup... tastes a bit strange, but it's still delicious." He took two sips and tasted it.
Bulma put her hands on the table, leaned forward and smiled: "I put the same spices as the steak just now. What, you're not used to it?"
"The same spices are used!" Sanye exclaimed, almost jumping up, pointing at all the dishes on the table, and asked with trembling fingers:
"Could it be that... that spice is added to every dish?"
"That's right~~" Bulma gave Mitsuha a bowl of pumpkin soup and gave herself one, and said with a smile while drinking, "Put it all in."
Sanye had a bitter face.
Du Ming comforted her, "Sanye, if you don't like it, just don't eat it. I'll make you something else later."
Bulma winked at Mitsuha.
“…No, I don’t want to eat…” Sanye forced a smile and drank the pumpkin soup completely resigned to her fate, “I’m just a little uncomfortable…I’ll get used to it if I eat more, yes! I’ll get used to it!”
Du Ming saw that she was a little reluctant, so he advised: "Sanye, don't force yourself. If you can't eat it, don't eat it."
Sanye paused and shook his head.
"No! This...spice...I want to eat..."
She hardened her heart and took a portion of the dishes on the table, including the grilled cheese prawns and stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and stuffed them into her mouth. Then she took a big sip of the Xidu special juice in the cup with a straw and slowly exhaled.
She snorted, "Du Ming, Bulma, I ate all these dishes, you are not allowed to not eat them!"
Du Ming glanced at Sanye speechlessly, wondering what she was thinking.
But since he was going to eat with her, of course he would stay with her until the end.
"Okay, I'll take care of everything Bulma can't eat." Du Ming laughed.
"Keep your word." Bulma said with a smile.
"Of course." Du Ming agreed. With his digestive ability, he could eat several times more food than this.
Du Ming took a sip of the juice, and soon Bulma finished her portion.
She and Sanye's faces were red, and it seemed that they were eating very hard. Du Ming sighed, and then swallowed the food on the table one by one under the gazes of the two.
"Isn't tonight's food good?"
After finishing all the dishes and meals, Bulma asked Du Ming with a smile.
"Well, it's pretty good. And I can get used to the smell of the spices you put in it. By the way, Bulma, what kind of spices are those?"
Du Ming asked curiously.
"I'll tell you later."
Bulma slowly took a step closer to Du Ming, half raised her head and looked at Du Ming, her smile becoming even more intense.
"Before you leave, I have a gift for you, Du Ming."
Du Ming's eyes lit up, and he guessed expectantly, "Mecha?"
Bulma smiled noncommittally and said:
"But before I give you the gift... Du Ming, you are still sweaty after coming back this afternoon. Go take a shower first."
"Is it so particular?" Du Ming became even more curious.
Could it be that... the mecha has an intelligent program that senses cleanliness, and if it's not clean enough, the mecha won't let anyone in?
Or is it like the preparations before Fengshan, where one has to keep the body and mind clean in order to highlight the sense of ritual and solemnity?
Du Ming could understand this very well.
He also had a period of fasting and bathing when he opened a limited edition model.
This sense of ritual can increase the value of the gift in your heart!
"Don't worry about it, go take a shower first!"
Bulma said angrily.
"Okay." Du Ming shrugged and left temporarily.
