Xia Mu pushed Mu to the east, signaling the man to let her go.

Mu Dongfang smirked and let go of Xia Mu's hand.

Xia Mu pushed the broken hair to the back of his head, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked: "What's wrong?"

The foreman replied, "The lights are ready. Go take a look."

"Alright."

After clearing out the wages, the construction of the breakfast shop came to an end. The rest were mainly on cleaning up and the purchase of the tableware.

"Xia Mu, leave it there and don't move. I'll do it." Mu Dongfang had just cleaned up the stove when he saw Xia Mu carrying a box into the store.

"It's fine, it's not that heavy." Xia Mu placed the box in the corner.

"What did you buy?" Mu Xiangdong walked over and squatted beside the box.

"Before, I ordered some dishes, but they just arrived today."

He opened the box and neatly packed the tableware one by one into the box.

They put the bowls and chopsticks into the cupboard and began to clean the breakfast.

Time passed, minute by minute. The two of them worked together, but they did not feel teary at all.

By the time he finished cleaning up and checked the time again, it was already almost 12: 30.

"What do you want for lunch?"

Xia Mu washed his hands on the water pipe as he replied, "There's nothing special I want to eat. What about you?"

"I know there's a place to eat. How about taking you to have a taste?" Mu Dongfang suggested.

"Alright." Xia Mu smiled as he stared at Mu Dong.

Mu Dongfang held Xia Mu's hand and walked into the corridor. The corridor wasn't very wide, so it was a bit crowded when the two walked side by side.

Mu Dongfang walked in front with Xia Mu behind him. "It's a bit dark. Pay attention to the ground."

"Uncle He." Mu Dongdong walked into the house and shouted at the top of his lungs.

A middle-aged man heard a voice and walked out of the kitchen. When he saw who it was, he asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"Uncle He, I've brought someone here to have a taste." Mu Dongdong replied with a smile.

"It's such a coincidence that you came. Sit first."

"Uncle He, there's no need to go through all the trouble." Uncle He, there's no need to go through all the trouble.

"Do you want to eat the hotpot?" The middle-aged man asked.

Mu Dongfang smiled as he looked at Xia Mu. Xia Mu replied, "I can do anything."

While waiting, Xia Mu took the opportunity to observe the dining area.

The living room and two bedrooms were used as a dining room. There was plenty of light in the living room, and the wooden table was covered with a red and white checked tablecloth. On the table was a glass bottle with a small unknown flower stuck in it.

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Dong handed over a cup of tea and asked with a smile.

The mellow taste of buckwheat tea is carried to the end of the nose.

Xia Mu raised his teacup and took a sip before replying, "The environment here is not bad."

"We all call that person Uncle He. "Guess what Uncle He does?"

Xia Mu carried a blue and white porcelain teacup and replied with a smile, "A chef?"

"Half right."

Xia Mu slightly raised his brows and asked, "What about the other half?"

Mu Dongfang poured some tea into the cup and said, "Uncle He and my father were classmates. They were previously university professors, but due to their physical condition, they left the campus. "Uncle He is an expert in cooking. When he has nothing better to do, he would make a private restaurant. If he is interested, he would make a table. If he is in a bad mood one day, this place …" After saying this, Mu Dongfang intentionally looked towards the kitchen before turning back to Xia Mu.

"If Uncle He's in a bad mood, even if the god has come, he can still chase him out!"

Just as he finished speaking, a loud and clear voice came from behind him: "Dong Zi, why aren't you coming over to help?!"

Chapter 378 - He Family

Mu Xiangdong blinked his eyes at Xia Mu and loudly replied, "Hey, you're here!"

When they came out of the kitchen, Xia Mu saw that Mu Dong had already brought out a large brass pot.

The copper pot was split into two, one red and one white. The bottom of this pot was also called a mandarin duck pot.

The pot had just been set up when he heard the door open.

"Dad, I'm back." A clear and beautiful voice rang out. Xia Mu turned his head and saw a teenage girl wearing the school uniform of a high school entering from the door.

"Kacha, hurry up and wash your hands before eating." Uncle He said to his daughter.

"Dongzi ge." He Kexin politely greeted Mu Dong and smiled at Xia Mu. She did not know who Xia Mu was.

"Is that Caixin, Uncle He's daughter, or is she studying?" Mu Dongdong whispered to Xia Mu as he waited for He Kexin to enter the house.

"It's a very pretty little girl." Xia Mu said with a smile.

Mu Dongfang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Just a second or two ago, did you see how beautiful she was?"

Xia Mu shrugged and replied playfully, "Sir Mu, have you never heard of such a thing?"

"What do you mean?" Mu Dong asked with interest.

"As the saying goes, if she can even make the school uniform look so beautiful, then she must be a beauty!"

Mu Dongdong raised his hand and smacked Xia Mu on the forehead, saying, "Where did this nonsense come from!"

Xia Mu bared his teeth and protested, "Don't hit my forehead!"

"Alright, I won't knock." Mu Dongdong smiled as he patted Xia Mu's head.

"Don't even touch your head!" Xia Mu held onto Mu Dong's hand and ordered.

He Kacha changed his clothes and came out just in time to see Xia Mu holding onto Mu Dong's hand.

Being caught in a kid's act of coquettishness with her boyfriend, Xia Mu was a little embarrassed.

She smiled at He Kexin and quickly let go of his hand.

With a faint smile, He Kexin turned and went back into the kitchen.

"Dad, why did you suddenly think of eating hotpot?" In the kitchen, He Kexin asked as she looked at the white porcelain plates on the chopping board.

Uncle He was in the midst of seasoning when he heard his daughter's question. He smiled and replied, "I was thinking about how you haven't eaten in a long time and father made it especially for you to eat. It just so happens that Dong Zi came over and is eating with us. "

He Kexin lowered her eyes and looked at the food on the counter. She asked softly, "That guy outside, is he Dongzi ge's new girlfriend?"

"It should be. Daddy hasn't seen him bring girls to me yet. " Uncle He had attended Mu Dong's wedding and was aware of his previous marriage.

Hearing his father's words, He Kexin raised her head and looked at him. She said lightly, "Then we'll have to properly entertain that elder sister later."

Uncle He smiled at his daughter and said, "Help me get these points out."

The bottom of the copper pot had already been boiled. Uncle He first scooped out half a bowl of soup from the bowl in front of everyone with the spoon in his hand.

"Try it, this is the mushroom chicken soup. Before you eat the hotpot, drink some soup and try the taste."

Xia Mu looked at the half bowl of fragrant Mycelia Chicken Soup in front of him, picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth.

The thickness of the chicken soup and the sweetness of the hyphae were perfectly fused together.

"The taste is really good!" Xia Mu exclaimed in admiration.

He Kxin was seated opposite to him at the square table. Naturally, she had seen all of Xia Mu's movements. The little girl lowered her gaze, her face expressionless.

She stealthily glanced at Mu Dongfang and saw him smiling at Xia Mu. The doting look in his eyes could clearly be seen. She suddenly felt her heart ache.

"But Xin, you should try it too and give Daddy some advice." His daughter had a keen sense of taste and was gifted in cooking. Uncle He had intentionally or unintentionally raised his daughter, not because he wanted her to achieve much, but because he hoped that if he died, his daughter would be able to make him a delicious meal.

"Yes." He raised his eyes again, and they were filled with smiles.

Shrimp have something to say: think hot pot delicious please raise your hand!

Chapter 379 - Washing the Hot Pot

Washing hot pot was something that was suitable for those who were close to him to do.

Just think about it. For something like a hotpot, you have to eat to your heart's content, eat to your heart's content, eat to your heart's content, eat until you're drenched in sweat. Only then will it taste good.

Mu Dongfang originally only wanted to bring Xia Mu to Uncle He's place to eat, but who would've thought that he would run into Uncle He's hotpot.

It had to be known that Uncle He's cooking skills were unquestionable. What he was most adept at was this hotpot. The most important thing about the hotpot was the pot of soup.

In the mandarin duck pot, the clear side was made from mycelium chicken soup, and the red-hot side was filled with seasoning. It was very tasty and refreshing.

The beef was sliced into thin pieces and placed neatly on a porcelain plate. After a short while, it was cooked.

"Taste it." Naturally, Mu Dongfang gave the first chopstick to Xia Mu.

"Thank you." Xia Mu smiled lightly as he spoke to Mu Dongdong.

"This is for Cachin."

He Kexin was about to raise her head when a plate of delicious beef appeared in front of her.

"Thank you, Dongzi ge." The little girl's eyebrows curved into a smile as she looked at Mu Dong.

"Little girl, it's rare for Uncle He to make a hotpot today, we must seize this opportunity to eat more."

Seeing Mu Dong, He Kexin smiled and replied, "If Brother Dong Zi likes it, you can come to our house and eat. I can cook this too." He Kaixin pointed to the pot with a smile.

"Really? I didn't expect Cinnabar to be so capable. " Mu Dongfang smiled playfully.

He Kexin raised her head and smiled as she looked at Mu Dong. "I know a lot."

Perhaps he realized that something was wrong with his daughter today. Uncle He pointed and said, "All of you, hurry up and eat. Once the meat is cooked, it will no longer taste good."

Uncle He took the spoon and added more dishes to Xia Mu's bowl. "I don't know if you guys have the habit of eating this."

Xia Mu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and replied with a smile, "You are too polite. Such a delicious dish is not something that just anyone can eat. "

Xia Mu's words caused the smile on Uncle He's face to deepen.

Xia Mu felt that this man's body had a refined aura. Years had left scars on his forehead, but this only made him increasingly more charming. Some men were like wine, able to last for many years.

Everyone enjoyed this meal to their heart's content. During the meal, Mu Dongdong naturally took care of Xia Mu. As long as he saw Xia Mu's bowl empty, he would immediately fill it up. In the end, Xia Mu had no choice but to call out to stop her, because she really couldn't eat anymore.

"Mu Dongfang, I really can't eat anymore." Xia Mu whispered as he looked at the food in the bowl.

"Are you full?" Mu Dongfang asked with a smile.

"Yes." Xia Mu nodded.

"Are you really full?"

"I'm really full."

In the next moment, Mu Dongdong's hand reached over and took Xia Mu's bowl. He then ate the rest of the food in the bowl naturally.

Of course, how could she have seen all this? The little girl was still a little girl after all. She asked impatiently, "Brother Dong Zi, those are the remaining!"

"Uncle He doesn't like people wasting food." Mu Dongfang smiled as he replied. His hands didn't stop moving as he quickly finished what was in the bowl.

"Brother Dong Zi!" He Kaixin shouted again. The little girl glanced at Xia Mu with an indifferent expression. Xia Mu had clearly seen the blame in her eyes.

This girl?

An idea suddenly popped into Xia Mu's mind.

Then, she thought that she had overthought things. How could she have changed her mind when she was only such a big girl?

"You should hurry up and eat as well. You're still going to school in the afternoon." Mu Dongfang put down his chopsticks and said to He Kexin with a smile.

"I'm full!" He Kaixin put down her chopsticks and stood up, then turned and walked to her bedroom.

Uncle He came out with some tea and saw his daughter close the door behind her.

Seeing this, Uncle He apologetically said to Mu Dong and Xia Mu, "I spoiled this girl."

"As a girl, it's only right to be fond of her." Mu Dongdong replied with a smile.
