He hadn’t been to that kind of place before and didn’t expect it to be so unbearable.
The two went to look for an outdoor hotpot restaurant.
Obviously, hot pot places tend to be warmer, especially in this weather.
However, this restaurant was completely different from the previous one. It was indeed hot, but there was a pleasant aroma. In the previous restaurant, the sweltering air was unbearable and pungent.
Learning from the previous experience, Yigol Novak naturally asked for Suri Drew’s opinion first.
“My dear, do you like this place?”
Suri expressed her enthusiasm by nodding, “This place looks much nicer, let’s eat here.”
It was Suri’s first time seeing an outdoor hotpot place like this, and the smell seemed quite appetizing.
Taste wouldn’t matter much, as nothing could be more delicious than the food Yigol cooked, as long as it wasn’t unpalatable.
The rare thing was that she had never seen such hotpot and never tasted it before; the atmosphere was excellent.
The couple found a relatively secluded spot to sit down, and immediately a middle-aged man came over with a menu: “What would you like to order?” Without waiting for Yigol to speak, Suri excitedly said, “Boss, give us your signature hot pot. I’m here to experience the local hotpot specialty, so bring us whatever dishes you have in the restaurant.”
Yigol couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head, never having seen such an ordering method before.
However, anyway, money was not an issue for him. Even if Suri ordered everything on the menu, it wouldn’t cost much.
The middle-aged man left without asking for Yigol’s opinion.
Suri curiously asked Yigol, “Honey, doesn’t he need your opinion? What if you don’t agree?”
Yigol smiled indifferently, “There’s no need to ask. If he can’t even read the situation, what business can he do?”
Confused, Suri looked at Yigol, “I don’t understand.”
“You already said you were here to experience the local hotpot specialty, so it means you are not a local. I’m here with you, regardless of my status, and we can enjoy the local food together. If I were a stingy man, you wouldn’t order that way. ”
“So, the restaurant owner can see that we’re the kind of people who don’t care about money. You’re so beautiful, wouldn’t it be absurd for such a gorgeous girl to have a partner who won’t even let her eat? ”
“So, there’s no need to ask. If the owner really asked me, it would make us both lose face. It would make me seem like a stingy man, and you would feel like you have no say, not even about what’s for dinner.”
“Besides, in our region, women generally have the final say.”
Hearing this, Suri nodded contentedly, “This point is pretty good. So, who will have the final say in our family in the future?”
Yigol sighed helplessly, not again.
As expected, women love to ask such questions. No matter how aloof and beautiful they may be, they can’t avoid it. “Of course, it’s you, my wife.”
Suri pouted, “You’re just saying that.”
Yigol just smiled without saying anything. If he answered that he would be in charge, they probably wouldn’t be able to enjoy the meal peacefully. He was at least aware of that much.
Since Yigol had to drive, and Suri didn’t like drinking alcohol, they just ordered a few bottles of soft drinks.
Soon, the hot pot arrived.
There was a stove in the middle of the table, and they could start eating as soon as it was turned on.
The hotpot was outdoors, but the kitchen was indoors. Despite that, everything could be seen clearly, and it was evident that the hot pot base had just been made, making the diners feel at ease.
Other side dishes were also being served one after another.
After the hot pot started boiling, Suri excitedly began eating without waiting for Yigol to say anything, “Finally, I can taste the famous hot pot from your hometown.”
Yigol smiled and prepared to start eating as well.
Truth be told, he hadn’t tried the local hot pot either.
He went straight to the city right after graduation, and after working as a delivery man for two to three years, he never returned home. He had barely eaten any of the hot pot in that time.
So, just like Suri, Yigol had only heard of the local hot pot and hadn’t eaten it.
Yigol first cooked some vegetables for Suri and then prepared some for himself.
After tasting it, Yigol said, “This is not bad. It is much better than those overprocessed products I had before. This has its own unique flavor.”
“Hmm? Honey, why are you reacting like this? Aren’t you a local? You haven’t eaten your hometown’s hot pot before?” Suri asked curiously.
Yigol replied honestly, “That’s right, I haven’t. I was living in my hometown before. I hardly went out while I was in school, and I went straight to your city after graduation. It’s been years since I’ve been back home, so I’ve never had the chance to eat it. As for the hotpot we had in our childhood, those were homemade and not as delicious as this.”
Suri chuckled, “Alright, I thought everyone around here eats this kind of hot pot regularly.”
“Just eat, you curious little thing,” Yigol laughed helplessly. “Of course, it won’t be as delicious as the one your husband cooks, but it’s quite authentic for our local hot pot. It’s a rare treat.”
Upon hearing this, Suri obediently nodded, “Okay, I got it.”
They started eating, and at first, there were not many people in the restaurant. But gradually, more patrons arrived.
People couldn’t help but glance at Suri from time to time.
Perhaps because she was eating hot pot, Suri’s face turned red, resembling a flushed apple. She fanned herself occasionally and was sweating, but she was enjoying the meal and couldn’t stop eating.
Yigol didn’t eat much. After he finished, he just sat there watching Suri eat.
Seeing everyone looking at him with envy, he felt extremely smug.
As for Suri, she was used to being the focus and didn’t care at all.
As long as no one bothered her, she could ignore them.
Fortunately, the other patrons just glanced at Suri from time to time without approaching or disturbing her.
As more people arrived to eat hot pot, some played games and chatted. Most were quiet and restrained.
However, there was one table with people who were exceptionally loud and rowdy, not caring about whether they were disturbing others. They were probably drunk.
Several people were arguing loudly.
At first, Suri only heard one or two sentences. As more people joined in, they spoke louder and in their local dialect, and Suri couldn’t understand any of it..
