Big Shot's Sweetheart Shocked the World Again!-Chapter 891: Ancestor’s Secret Technique: Judging Fortune by the Way One Eats
"Sis, what do you think? Do you think they’re doomed?"
"Zuzi, how did you figure out their luck isn’t good?"
"Sis, did you notice how that foreigner had a dark look and was wearing a cloak, and that’s why you think he’s doomed?"
"Zuzi, can you really see their face clearly from this far away and accurately predict their fortune?"
The two loyal fans looked at the young Zuzi with starry eyes.
It’s rare for young Zuzi to be willing to make a judgment about someone’s fortune, they were dying to hear the gossip.
Xi Zuzi took a sip of lotus leaf tea unhurriedly and said calmly, "It’s not that complicated. You can tell a person’s luck just by the way they eat."
"Huh?" The two girls were extremely surprised.
Can you really tell just by the way they eat?
The two girls couldn’t help but sit up straight, even their hands holding the teacups suddenly became prim and proper, trying to be as elegant as possible.
Xi Zuzi couldn’t help but curl her lips slightly: "It’s not that you must be restrained when eating, but you must have a basic reverence for food. Every meal, every dish comes from the plants and trees, food has its spirit, if there’s no reverence, eating it naturally becomes poison."
The two girls took a deep breath and looked at the lotus leaves floating in their teacups, and the neatly cut sour and sweet radish and jellyfish strips in the delicate plate of appetizers, swallowing their saliva—
The appetizers were clearly so ordinary, but after young Zuzi talked about it, they seemed a bit glowing—>_→
Xi Zuzi gently blew on the hot tea, not drinking it, only sniffing the faint aroma of the tea before saying, "Also, their posture while eating is wrong."
"Huh? What posture?" The two girls couldn’t help but straighten their backs, trying to be ladylike and demure.
Xi Zuzi said calmly, "Eating with your head down without looking forward, not holding the bowl, and stretching your neck forward is a sign of bad luck."
The two girls secretly observed the opposite private room, and it was true!
Young Zuzi was right about everything!
After cutting the mushrooms, the old man in the black robe tucked his left hand into his sleeve, only using his right hand to fork the mushrooms, his head reaching into the bowl, with a strange look as if his whole face was buried in the bowl, and his brows were gloomy and drooping, not even glancing at the dishes or people.
You’d think he was seriously eating, but he was mocking the Empire’s food as unpalatable.
You’d think he was critiquing gourmet food, but it seemed his mind wasn’t on the food, just burying his head to finish eating as an obligation.
I don’t know if it’s because foreigners prefer using plates over bowls, but he never used his hands to hold the bowl the whole time, which looked even stranger.
Xi Rubao suddenly realized: "I get it, a rice bowl, huh, is equivalent to one’s career fortune, right? If you can’t even hold your rice bowl, you definitely can’t achieve anything big, right sis?"
Xi Zuzi smiled slightly.
Wu Qianman also caught on: "We people of the Empire, no matter how hungry or greedy, when eating, will glance at all the dishes on the table, can’t just focus on what they want to eat, burying their heads in their own bowls. This is basic dining etiquette learned from childhood. And that person burying his head in his bowl looks like a greedy beast scavenging for prey, like a reincarnated ghost. Look at that spring water lotus mushroom, he picked the largest one to eat and was full of complaints, such a selfish person, it would be a miracle if his luck were good."
Xi Zuzi nodded slightly.
As they spoke, Bai He, already wearing an apron and chef’s hat, personally brought over the first cold dish, a chilled appetizer, smiling broadly: "What are you whispering about, so lively, come quickly and try my newly improved signature dish, I didn’t have time to make it for young Zuzi last time."
Lotus root, lotus root strips, lotus petals, water calyx... a few fresh sweet ingredients mixed with refreshing sauce served over ice for cooling, flavorful and refreshing, Xi Rubao took just one bite and exclaimed—"What a delicacy! Worthy of the human world!"
Xi Zuzi also politely took a small taste: "Very good."
Which made Bai He feel elated.
About to humbly say something.
Who knew.
A voice came from behind, neither fully foreign nor local, with a sarcastic tone: "Call your boss here, what kind of lousy dish is this!"
