Chapter 703: No Ants In the Dish

They returned to the Lu family in City H quickly.

Although it was the first time for Ye Luo, Elder Sen, and Jun Hao to go to the Lu family in City H, everyone seemed to have come here many times and adapted quickly.

As Lu Zhou and Jun Hao were too lazy to cook, they had to go to the Jade Hotel to eat.

Ye Luo looked at the luxurious Jade Hotel and the prices on the menu. He could not help but complain. “Are we eating gold? It’s so expensive. Isn’t this cheating?”

“Snort—”

Seeing Chu Sihan pause in his actions, Lu Sheng could not help but chuckle.

Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian looked at Ye Luo with a faint smile and did not say anything.

The Jade Hotel’s headquarters was in the capital, so Jun Hao knew that it was a Chu family business.

Moreover, he temporarily did not know Ye Luo’s relationship with Chu Sihan. However, when he heard Ye Luo’s complaints, he could not help but want to laugh.

As it was Elder Sen’s first time here, he did not know that this was the Chu family’s business. When he heard Ye Luo’s complaints, he could not help but nod in agreement.

The waiter glanced at Chu Sihan. He didn’t know if he should explain nor not, and his expression was more or less awkward.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Hero Ye, feel free to order today. It’s free.”

“Free?” Ye Luo’s eyes lit up. “There’s actually such a good thing in this world?”

“Of course.” Chu Sihan said coldly, “Because this is my family’s business.”

Moreover, he had built it himself. It could be considered his private business.

As to why the items inside were so expensive, it was naturally because you get what you pay for.

The ingredients bought were all precious ingredients. They were not cheap to begin with, so the ones bought were naturally not cheap either.

Ye Luo was speechless.

Wow, he had casually complained about his disciple…

“Hehe—” Ye Luo laughed dryly. “I was just saying. Don’t take it to heart.”

Chu Sihan smiled lightly and hurriedly passed the menu to the waiter.

The waiter spoke respectfully before leaving with the menu.

About half an hour later, various delicious-looking dishes were served.

After tasting it, Ye Luo could not help but nod. “It’s delicious. It’s worth so much money.”

Chu Sihan smiled lightly. “If it’s delicious, eat more.”

“This ‘Ants on the Tree’ is quite good. Try it.”

Shangguan Dian picked up the dish and placed it in Lu Zhou’s bowl.

After Lu Zhou tasted it, he nodded. “It’s indeed good. Make it when you get back. I believe in your culinary skills.”

“Of course.” Shangguan Dian rolled up his sleeve and said proudly, “I’ve learned culinary skills for decades. How can they be bad?”

Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “You really climbed up after I gave you a pole?”

Shangguan Dian snorted coldly. “I have the ability.”

Lu Zhou snorted and did not speak further.

“Why is it called ‘Ants on the Tree’? There aren’t any ants here!”

When Ye Luo heard the name of the dish, he observed it for a long time. He saw minced meat and vermicelli, but there were no ants. He could not help but be puzzled.

Elder Sen had never eaten this dish before. When he heard the name, he also thought that it was made of ants.

Jun Hao chuckled. “This uncle is so funny. A wife cake doesn’t have a wife too.”

“What’s a wife cake?” Ye Luo asked seriously.

Jun Hao’s smile froze and his expression was unbelievable.

Chu Sihan explained calmly, “My master has always been living in the mountains and doesn’t know these things.”

“I see!” Jun Hao was enlightened. “A wife cake is…”

He patiently explained the history of the wife cake to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo nodded in realization.
