"Click, click, click, it's just a bit of minced meat, is it really worth your attention?" The system's voice suddenly echoed in Zhang Xiaoxiao's mind.
Zhang Xiaoxiao pouted and replied, "What do you know? This is called taste. Do you understand what taste is?"
"Heh." The system scoffed, "What is taste? All I know is that wastefulness is shameful."
"Tch." Zhang Xiaoxiao snorted disdainfully, "What do you know? This is called enjoying food."
"Enjoying food?" The system laughed heartily as if it had heard a funny joke. "Zhang Xiaoxiao, you're too amusing. It's just a bit of minced meat; can it even be considered gourmet?"
"Of course." Zhang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "What do you know? This is simple fare, but even simple fare has its standards."
"Hahaha..." The system laughed again.
Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't be bothered to respond and continued watching Liu Guangcai cook.
Zhao Guangcai was quick; in no time, he had finished cooking the rabbit meat. He brought the rabbit meat out and placed it on the table. Zhang Xiaoxiao inhaled the aroma in the air and felt even hungrier.
Seeing her expression, Zhao Guangcai smiled helplessly and went to the kitchen to serve rice.
Zhang Xiaoxiao sat beside the table, eagerly watching Zhao Guangcai with a look of intense craving.
Zhao Guangcai couldn't stand her gaze and hurriedly brought out the rice, placing it on the table.
"Let's eat," Zhao Guangcai said gently.
"Mm." Zhang Xiaoxiao replied happily, then picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of rabbit meat to put in her bowl.
She was salivating.
Unable to contain herself, she stuffed the meat into her mouth and chewed a few times; her eyes immediately lit up.
"Wow, it's so delicious," Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed. "Zhao Guangcai, your cooking skills have improved again."
"Eat slowly; don't choke," Zhao Guangcai said, looking at her with a hint of affection in his eyes.
"I know, I know." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly and then grabbed another piece of rabbit meat.
She was just too hungry and ate quickly, accidentally burning her tongue.
"Ah—" She gasped in pain and quickly covered her mouth.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Guangcai noticed and immediately stood up, hurriedly walking to the kitchen. He returned with a cup of warm water and handed it to Zhang Xiaoxiao. " Xiaoxiao, drink some water."
"Mm-hmm." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, took the cup, and gulped down the water.
After finishing the water, she felt much better.
She wiped the water from the corner of her mouth and looked up at Zhao Guangcai, giving him a sweet smile. "Thank you, Zhao Guangcai."
Zhao Guangcai stared at her radiant smile, momentarily lost in thought.
"Zhao Guangcai?" Zhang Xiaoxiao noticed he was staring at her and paused for a moment. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing." Zhao Guangcai came back to his senses and quickly looked away. "Let's eat."
"Oh." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and continued to focus on her meal.
She decided to save the rabbit legs in her bowl for Zhao Guangcai, so she refrained from eating them.
As she ate, she kept glancing at Zhao Guangcai, waiting for him to take a rabbit leg.
However, after waiting for a long time, Zhao Guangcai showed no intention of touching the rabbit legs.
Unable to wait any longer, Zhang Xiaoxiao spoke up: "Zhao Guangcai, why aren't you eating the rabbit legs?"
"Uh?" Zhao Guangcai was taken aback for a moment. "Do you like rabbit legs?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. "The meat is plentiful."
"Hehe." Hearing this, Zhao Guangcai couldn't help but chuckle lightly. "You misunderstood; actually, rabbits have front legs too."
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was stunned. "They have front legs too?"
"Yes." Zhao Guangcai nodded with a smile. "You overlooked the front legs when you were picking food."
"Oh." Zhang Xiaoxiao realized and lowered her head to rummage through the dish with her chopsticks; indeed, she found two rabbit legs.
So there are more than just two hind legs on a rabbit.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled shyly and then placed one of the rabbit legs into Zhao Guangcai's bowl. "You work so hard every day; you should eat more."
"No need." Zhao Guangcai shook his head. "I don't really like meat; you can have it."
"No way." Zhang Xiaoxiao firmly shook her head. "You must eat."
Zhao Guangcai saw her firm attitude and had no choice but to take the rabbit leg. "Alright, thank you."
"You're welcome," Zhang Xiaoxiao said with a cheerful smile, then lowered her head to continue eating.
She first took a sip of soup, then picked up a piece of rabbit meat, followed by a piece of potato. The potatoes had been stir-fried to a golden brown, emitting an enticing aroma. Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but drool.
She eagerly stuffed the potato into her mouth, chewed a few times, and her eyes immediately lit up. "Wow, Zhao Guangcai, your cooking is amazing," Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed. "These potatoes are so delicious."
"If it's good, eat more," Liu Guangcai said softly.
"Mm-hmm." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly and then picked up another piece of potato. She loved the taste so much that she ended up eating all the potatoes, leaving only a bowl of rice.
Looking at the mountain of potatoes in her bowl, she sighed contentedly, "So delicious."
"Don't just eat potatoes," Zhao Guangcai urged upon seeing this. "You need a balance of meat and vegetables."
"I know," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and then picked up a piece of rabbit meat. She was really craving the rabbit meat, so she decided to eat it first before having the rice.
As she ate, she thought to herself that no wonder everyone loves eating meat; it really is much tastier than vegetables. Zhao Guangcai watched her devour her food and couldn't help but smile helplessly before picking up his chopsticks to start eating as well.
His movements were graceful as he ate slowly, making it pleasing to watch. Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at him and couldn't help but swallow hard. She realized she was getting hungrier; every time she saw Zhao Guangcai, she wanted to eat the dishes he made.
" Xiaoxiao?" Zhao Guangcai noticed her gaze and paused for a moment.
"Mm?" Zhang Xiaoxiao snapped back to reality. "What’s wrong?"
"Why aren't you eating?" Zhao Guangcai asked in confusion.
"Oh." Zhang Xiaoxiao finally realized and quickly lowered her head to continue eating.
She ate the potatoes and rabbit meat together, then took a sip of the soup.
"Wow, this is really delicious," Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed contentedly.
Seeing her happy expression, Zhao Guangcai couldn't help but smile as well.
