A complicated meal
It was not difficult to find a restaurant when your family owns the Mall. Finding a western restaurant, Yanqi asks for a closed room. Thinking that Lucius doesn't drink anything all morning, Xiaolan asks the waiter for a bowl of fresh water. Letting Lucius out of the bag, he climbs up to the children's seat, which leaves him with a better difference in table height.
Hua Zhaowei arrived just before ordering the dishes. He was surprised to see a cat sitting on the child seat. Sitting next to Wanmei, the Hua brothers started a conversation.
- "How was it at the Brother meeting?" – asked Yanqi
- "Everything went well. Just a routine meeting. And did you manage to find the dress? "
- "Yes, Sister Lan helped me choose. It's a beautiful dress. Even the brother liked it. "- replied Wanmei cheerfully.
- "Have you already bought jewelry, or are you going to buy yet?" Asked Zhaowei
- "I'm not going to buy any jewelry. I'm going to wear this necklace that I'm wearing now "
-"Are you sure?" - Hua Zhaowei started to think about where she bought this necklace.
- "Yes. It was a gift from Sister Lan." – responds happily Wanmei.
- "When did you give her this necklace? I think Meimei has been using it since he came back from the hospital. "- Yanqi thought about it. – 'Is this girl really interested in Meimei like that? '
- "It was more useful for her. I'm glad she liked it. " - smiling at Wanmei, Xiaolan replies. Before Yanqi continued the conversation, the waiter arrived with the dishes. While he was serving, Xiaolan smelled a familiar smell in the dishes in front of him. It was somewhat unpleasant, like something extremely sweet in a salty dish.
- "What's in that dish. It looks sweet "- says Wanmei.
- "I don't see anything wrong. It is pasta with seafood, if favorite. This restaurant is new but has excellent reviews. " Says Yanqi.
- "Excuse me, can you tell me what spices are on my plate? Not that I want to bother, but I have na allergy to some spices and the aroma in this dish reminded me of one that I can't eat "- Xiaolan asks the waiter who says that the spices are secret recipes from the Chef –" So could you invite the chef? "- smiling, Xiaolan looks at the waiter. – "The chef does not leave the kitchen so ... I mean ... yes, of course, I will invite him for you"
-" I appreciate your help. I like cooperative people a lot. " - smiling after his hypnotic suggestion takes effect, Xiaolan thanks the waiter.
- "Sister Lan, is something wrong?" (HWM)
- "We will already know. I hope to be thinking too much. "(GXL)
-"And what does that mean?" asks Hua Zhaowei.
Smiling, Xiaolan is silent. Hua Zhaowei realizes that she will not respond. 'This girl is strange. But it seems that Meimei 'likes her. If it is a bad thing, I will have no choice but to separate them '
The waiter returned with a short man with short hair and small eyes. It is not something to think about when talking about beauty. Smiling, Chef Zi asks who called him.
- "It was me. I'm just curious. I can know what spices you used in this dish. I'm not talking about the basics. I heard that you have a unique special seasoning. I want to know what it's made of. "
Xiaolan's appearance is delicate, and from the way she speaks, it hardly seems like she wants to get in trouble. Considering the woman in front of him as simply curious, Chef Zi responds calmly. – "This is a secret family recipe that has been passed down for generations, I cannot tell you the recipe, but I learned from the waiter that you are allergic to some spices, so if you want to ask if there is anything you cannot eat, I will answer you "
While the chef was speaking, Xiaolan had already started analyzing his structure. 'The chef is a complete human, but I feel a mark on him. This brand is really bothersome. It is similar to the mark made by means of forbidden voodoo. I hope it's not heavy black magic. That would be very problematic to resolve. How much to do! '
- "I think I know what's on the plate. If I'm not mistaken, it's a seasoning called fairy dust. "- watching the chef start to sweat, Xiaolan continues –" It's a very difficult thing to do, you know, I don't know the complete method because I'm not interested in this type of thing, but ingredients and what causes it "
Both the Hua brothers and the waiter did not understand anything that was happening, but Hua Zhaowei realized that something was wrong with the chef when Xiaolan spoke the name 'fairy dust'.
- "Yes, I don't know what you are talking about. This spice has been in my family for over a century. His name is Ziran, in honor of my great grandmother who invented it. "- sweating, chef Zi replies to Xiaolan
- "I hate people who don't cooperate and even more people who lie to me. Fairy dust is na obscure spice. It enhances the taste of the food making it even more tasty. The only problem is that if eaten with different types of meat they cause some health problems. If I am not mistaken, in the simplest cases, the kidneys do not work as they should and in the most severe cases it can cause infertility for women and impotence for men. By your reaction, I must be right, right? "
Chef Zi started to shake. Hua Zhaowei learned that Xiaolan was right and sent the waiter to call security and drag the chef over there. Concerned about the safety of customers, Zhaowei calls the manager and asks them to evacuate the restaurant. Calling Secretary Yang, he orders the list of clients and contacts them to ask them to seek medical help before it is too late.
- "Can I know how Miss Gu knows about this fairy dust?" - Asking Xiaolan, Zhaowei worries that this girl is messing with something she shouldn't.
- "I grew up in na orphanage. There was a lady, God help her, that I helped when I returned from school. She came from a family of traditional doctors and researched medicines from the past. As far as I know this fairy dust was used in the imperial harem by consorts to prevent favored concubines from giving birth to a son of the emperor. "
- "You seem to know a lot about the subject, don't you?" - answers Zhaowei. In fact, Zhaowei may appear polite on the surface, but he has a heart that is harder than steel. For his family and his few friends he grew up with, he's not really friendly to anyone. Considering Xiaolan's unknown origin, besides the fact that she is aware of a type of poison that is not easily detectable is more than enough for Zhaowei to consider her a danger to her sister.
Xiaolan can see that Zhaowei is intentionally targeting her. 'Today's mortals are increasingly suspicious.' – "As I said, I learned a little when I was a little girl and I believe I said earlier that I was a freshman in the chemistry department. My course is in pharmaceutical chemistry, and I took the liberty of delving into the subject earlier. Well, I believe that as responsible for this place, you have a lot to do. I withdraw for now. Lucius, go up. "
Rising from the table, Xiaolan says goodbye, but Wanmei says he will accompany her to the door of the mall. Asking her security guards to follow her, the girls leave the room.
- "Sister Lan, can we speak comfortably now?"
- "Yes, I raised a barrier. Wanmei, I'm not offended by your big brother, so don't worry. Hehehe, your face says it all, it was not difficult to guess. But what I want to tell you is that your brother Yanqi also has a wizard's blood in his veins, and seems to be stronger than yours. He doesn't look like he's going to wake up naturally, and I really don't want him to wake up. Let me finish talking first "- seeing that Wanmei wanted to interrupt Xiaolan corrects her –" If I am not mistaken, your brother can release a minimal amount of energy, and by that energy I can know what kind of power he will have to awaken. He has a magical physicist called a Valterus physicist or a unicorn physicist. This means that if he wakes up he will release na energy that will attract all people of the opposite sex with mental power less than or equal to his. Think of it as a mouse running away from a flock of hungry cats. " - feeling Wanmei shudder, Xiaolan continues – "As you already noticed, this is very problematic to take care of. If someone is continually exposed to that energy, that person may become psychologically unable to separate from his brother, causing him to feel na extremely possessive type of love. Do you understand now what I meant when I said I don't want him to wake up?"
