Meng Nan was dumbfounded, he pointed his finger to Jin Shiwei, whose mouth was full of oil: “You, you, you… …”
Jin Shiwei smiled and said: “Gongzi, it’s almost gone… …”
The next moment, a seductive fragrance came out from the kitchen. But, Meng Nan couldn’t tell what it was.
And as if the scent was like a locust that had controlled his mind. Meng Nan handed the bowl in his hand to Jin Shiwei and took a step forward to go to the kitchen.
Jin Shiwei hurriedly stopped Meng Nan: “Gongzi, that place is the kitchen, you cannot go there.”
Meng Nan ignored Jin Shiwei and went straight into the kitchen. In there, he saw a piece of yellow pancake that was taken out in the pan and placed on the plate.
When Bai Zhi heard footsteps, she thought it was Jin Shiwei. She didn’t turn her head and just said: “Add some wood, the fire is getting small.”
Meng Nan responded with “oh” and quickly came to the stone stove. He picked up two dry wood on the ground and threw it into the stone stove.
At the same time, Bai Zhi discovered that it wasn’t Jin Shiwei, but Meng Nan.
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “It turned out to be Meng Daren, I presumed Meng Daren have never been to the kitchen before.”
Meng Nan tossed another firewood into the stone stove and stood up, then he patted away the ashes on his hands: “It’s not my first time. My father used to punish me before when I was a kid. After that, I usually get hungry in the middle of the night, so I will go to the kitchen to find food.”
Bai Zhi’s hand that was stirring the batter paused. She suddenly remembered her past life in the orphanage when she was abandoned by her parents. For various reasons, she can’t eat enough food everyday. So in the middle of the night, she gets hungry. She was also secretly sneaking in the kitchen to find foods.
However, when she was caught by the director of the orphanage and beat her up, she never dared to go in the kitchen again, even if she was so hungry.
Bai Zhi tried to hide the sadness in her eyes and looked at Meng Nan. Then, she smiled and said: “So originally, Meng Daren also had such an experience.”
Bai Zhi poured the batter from the bowl into the pan a little bit. When the batter reached the pan, it formed into a round egg pancake.
Meng Nan looked strangely at it: “What is this?”
Bai Zhi put the egg pancake on the plate and said: “This is egg pancake that poor people usually eat.”
Meng Nan smiled and said: “What poor people usually eat? It looks more delicious than we rich people eat.”
When Bai Zhi saw the greedy look in Meng Nan’s face, she couldn’t help but smile: “It seems Meng Daren can’t wait to eat, I will give you one.”
Bai Zhi took a piece of egg pancake and added some chili fried meat and then rolled it up. She then handed it to Meng Nan with a plate: “Try it.”
Meng Nan busily picked up the rolled pancake. It was the first time he saw such a kind of food.
Jin Shiwei, who was standing on the side was so envious. He wanted Bai Zhi to help him rolled up one too. But, it was obvious that she was still very busy. Jin Shiwei was so shy to open his mouth, so he simply took a plate and copy what Bai Zhi did earlier. He took a piece of egg pancake, put some chili fried meat and then rolled it up.
Jin Shiwei was so proud of himself, well it was quite simple.
However, when he was about to eat his food, he saw a hand appeared across his plate. The hand disappeared together with his plate. When his plate came back to his hand, it became empty… …
Jin Shiwei bitterly said: “Gongzi, I’m very hungry too… ..”
Meng Nan ignored Jin Shiwei and went outside with the egg roll. Bai Zhi continued cooking other dishes. There were only two egg pancakes available, but he didn’t even taste one… …
“Bai Zhi, are you going to make another egg pancake?”
“Not anymore, maybe next time.”
“… …”
