Chapter 416 Sesame Noodles
A bowl of rather delicious-looking noodles was placed in front of each of them, as well as four other dishes. Naturally, Eugene was the one who cooked the dishes. Moreover, there were a few pickled dishes that were prepared by Olivia.
To be honest, she had always felt rather unsatisfied. She believed that the dishes she made were not pretty, but they tasted okay. It’s not as bad as they claim!
After they sat down at the dining table, Brian glanced at the table full of dishes. Then, he pointed suspiciously at a plate of potatoes, which were cut the size of a pinky finger, and asked Eugene, “Are these supposed to be julienned potatoes?”
Olivia looked crossed. “What’s wrong with them? They’re perfectly julienned, alright?”
In response, Eugene used his fist to cover his mouth, strongly suppressing the urge to laugh. I mustn’t laugh. Otherwise, she will definitely explode in anger.
Meanwhile, Brian was also suppressing his laughter. Initially, he wanted to tease Eugene. Who could have known that that dish was prepared by Olivia? Thus, he hurriedly tried to make up for his mistake and said, “The thickness doesn’t matter anyway. What’s important is that it tastes good.” As he spoke, he used his chopsticks to grab some of the potatoes. He didn’t even chew them well before swallowing them whole. After that, he nodded his head repeatedly. “It’s delicious! Olivia, your cooking surpasses that of my hotel’s five-star chef!”
Unfortunately, her expression grew darker. “Your brother cooked that!”
At that point, Brian didn’t know what to say anymore. This is bad! There’s no way I can talk myself out of this!
Besides, Eugene seemed to be enjoying his predicament for some reason. Go on; flatter her some more. You’re failing miserably at flattering her, aren’t you?
In the end, North spoke up. He picked at the noodles in his bowl as he said, “My mommy made these noodles as well as these pickles.” He could tell from a single glance—the dishes his mommy made were either red or black. In short, they were never normal in color.
Upon hearing that, Brian awkwardly made a non-committal sound in response.
On the other hand, Eugene calmly ate a bite of the noodles Olivia had prepared. He didn’t have any expectations for the taste. After all, her cooking skills were rather poor. However, when he tasted the noodles, he was surprised. The noodles were surprisingly delicious. It was the type of noodles that were mixed with sauce after it had been cooled with ice water. With each bite, he could taste the fragrant aroma of the sesame oil and chili oil. The other ingredients included julienned cucumbers, beansprouts, scallions, and crushed peanuts. It didn’t taste like something Olivia, who couldn’t cook, had made. Thus, he was incredibly shocked. Nodding his head in satisfaction, he said, “It’s delicious.”
