"How about we hit a restaurant together after work tonight?"
"Sure." Xia Lu agreed immediately. Once the Litang Project had ended, her workload had significantly decreased, naturally affording her more time to relax and enjoy with friends.
The two chose a Chuanyu Restaurant not far from their company.
Xia Lu originally couldn't handle spicy food, but recently, she would find herself missing spicy boiled fish and chicken with chilis if she didn't eat them for a while. Moreover, thanks to regular exposure, she had become more adapted to these spicy dishes than before. It seemed that everything could be trained, even taste preferences.
"Spicy chicken is a must-order, plus shadow puppet beef, mapo tofu, dry-fried green beans, and one more..."
The server kindly reminded them at the side, "Are the two of you dining? If it's just for you two, I think what you've ordered so far is about enough. Our portions are quite generous."
