Chu Wang Fei Snippet 2 chap 91-92


This chapter will be about food! The interactions between Chu Wang (Chu Fei Yang's grandfather), Chu Fei Yang and Yun Qian Meng are just so funny. She bullies Chu Fei Yang a bit in this part muahaha. Oh, and Jiao Da also gets to eat with them! Jiao Da is in charge of Chu Wang's (Wang meaning prince) household and is very capable and can fight well, you will see quite a bit of him after chap 70+ in the Chinese novel.



Snippet 2

"Wang Ye (Prince), Xiang Ye (Prime minister), do you want to stand while eating?" Yun Qianmeng and Mu Chun came out of the kitchen. Seeing her sweat so much, Chu Fei Yang took a few steps forward to shield her from the sunlight with his shadow.

"Go, go, go, let's eat at the pavilion, it is a lot more cooling there," When Chu Nanshan (Chu Wang - Chu Fei Yang's grandfather) saw how loving the two were, he was every happy.

When they were seated, even Jiao Da was dragged by Chu Wang to sit and eat.

Yun Qianmeng stood at the corner, explaining the dishes while watching Mu Chun serve them.

"Wang Ye, this is the cold noodles you wanted, there are eggs, beef , apple and spicy cabbage in it. The sweet and spicy taste is the most suitable for the summer heat! In addition, I cooked some zucchini with pepper and sesame oil, it is crispy and delicious, you should try it!"

Then Yun Qianmeng got Mu Chun to serve Jiao Da's lunch. The bowl of cool rice was topped with a variety of colourful meat and vegetables, the highlight of this dish, the silky egg that topped this dish made it seem extremely appealing.

[ I think what she made for Jiao Dao was BiBimBap, a Korean dish, courtesy of LacusClyne ]



Seeing his puzzled face, Yun Qian Meng took a spoonful of rice and sauce and motioned for him to try it.

"Come, I will help you try it!" Without even tasting his own food, Chu Wang who was envious of Jiao Da's unique dish quickly snatched a fifth of the contents in Jiao Da's bowl and placed it in front of himself.

"What about mine?" Looking at Chu Wang eating happily and Jiao Da's unique dish, Chu Fei Yang's normally calm heart also felt a bit curious. He smiled at Yun Qianmeng, waiting for her to serve him the best dish.

Yun Qianmeng smiled in return and served him the biggest and heaviest portion of food. A gush of spiciness rushed towards Chu Fei Yang's eyes, looking at the pot of boiling red soup, Chu Fei Yang's face immediately darkened.

"This is spicy cabbage tofu soup, try it, it is best eaten during winter, it is guaranteed to let you sweat!"

Yun Qianmeng smiled like a blooming flower and pushed the large bowl in front of him.

Chu Fei Yang watched Yun Qianmeng grin mischievously, her usually calm pair of eyes revealed a hint of playfulness. His darkened face had disappeared long ago. He grinned and asked, "Miss Yun has been busy for half a day, I'm sure you haven't eaten. Since I have such a big portion, why don't you have some too?"

Chu Fei Yang smiled and stared at the surface of the soup, the top layer was covered in red and green peppers, he could not help but slowly clench his fists.

Since Yun Qianmeng gave him "preferential treatment", he should naturally let her enjoy it with him, if not, how can the two of them deserve a "common destiny"?

That being said, Chu Fei Yang lifted his head and stared at Yun Qian Meng, not giving her the slightest chance of escape.

"Let... let you eat... Why do you still have so much to say? It's good that you eat something hot and spicy, this way you can be warmer (personality wise) instead if treating me like this, niether hot or cold, it's not like I owe you a wife!" With his mouth full of food, Chu Wang eyed Jiao Da's half a bowl of rice while eating his own cold noodles and taking the time to teach Chu Fei yang a lesson.

Fortunately, even though Chu Wang ate very fast, he still had good habits and did not spew the food out of his mouth while talking, otherwise it would have destroyed the food on the table.

"If Grandfather, does not have enough to eat, you can eat my portion!" Chu Fei Yang leisurely opened his mouth. After seeing Chu Wang gloat, his slender fingers gently lifted the bowl and pushed it towards Chu Wang.

Chu Wang originally had seen Yun Qianmeng give Chu Fei Yang the biggest bowl and felt jealous. However, after looking at that big pot of boiling spicy tofu soup, he changed his mind.
Chu Wang shook his head and answered remorsefully," Yang Yang, you are constantly running about, as your grandfather, I did not cook a good meal for you. Look, Ms Yun is so considerate, grandfather can now be relieved! You see, Ms Yun is afraid that you would not have enough to eat and cooked you a whole pot! If you do not eat, aren't you letting her down? Moreover, you grandfather is getting old, I cannot eat whatever I want anymore. Do you want your grandfather to meet your grandmother so soon? Quick, quick, drink this soup, sweat and warm your body up!"

Saying that, Chu Wang pushed the big bowl back to Chu Fei Yang. Looking at Yun Qianmeng again, Chu Nanshan felt that Yun Qian Meng really was such a caring warm jacket, knowing how to protect this grandfather, helping him teach Chu Fei Yang that bastard a lesson! Indeed, his eyes are not wrong!

Feeling great, Chu Wang picked up his noodles and slurped them up, eating happily. He felt that his cold noodles really helped him to expel the heat.

Chu Fei Yang, seeing that his grandfather caught him, could not help but sneer. He decided to focus on Jiao Da who buried his head, bitterly eating. "Jiao Da, eating cooked rice could make you choke? Quick, drink this bowl of soup."

"Pa!" However, at that moment, Jiao Da placed his bowl down and quickly wiped his mouth with his sleeve and stood up. "I have finished eating."

"If you've finished eating then stand up! Let ms Yun who has been busy for so long to sit, she must be tired! Oh right, tell the kitchen to serve her a bowl of green bean soup to get rid of the heat." Chu Wang felt very comfortable. He then picked up a slice of zucchini, chewed his food and drank his cold noodle's soup.

Chu Fei Yang's cold eyes swept past Chu Wang and Jiao Da, both of them were at the corner pretending they were invisible. One of them was even staring at him maliciously. Chu Fei Yang thought it was funny, since when did he become the subject of everyone's hate?

And the instigator was sitting in a corner, elegantly drinking her green bean soup. Chu Fei Yang smiled even more and said," Grandfather, you have always loved spicy food, why don't you leave this for dinner?"

Chu Wang's face turned green the moment he heard that and he chocked on his soup. Chu Wang glared at Chu Fei Yang. "Didn't I say? I am too old to eat this kind of food, you enjoy your own meal, don't waste a single drop, don't waste Miss Yun's sincerity."

"Ms Yun is a woman, drinking this bowl of green bean soup is not good for you. Come, drink this bowl of spicy soup to get rid of the chills, otherwise your hands will tremble when you embroider." Saying this, Chu Fei Yang scooped a bowl of soup for her.

"Are you saying that if I drink this you would finish the rest of your lunch?"  Yun Qian Meng blew at her slightly hot soup and looked at Chu Fei Yang with her beautiful eyes, issuing a challenge.

Chu Fei Yang originally thought that she would try to evade this. Who could imagine that she was so easily persuaded. Without him needing to say a second word, she would  even pick up the bowl on her own accord!

"If it's like that, I will follow Ms Yun's request."

Looking at Yun Qianmeng who was willing to suffer with him, and also because he had given all his chili to her, Chu Fei Yang was willing to join her. With his elegant hands, he picked up his chopsticks and ate a piece of tofu. He felt a wave of heat but it also came along with a comfortable feeling, rendering him unable to put his chopsticks down. Sending another mouthful of soup into his mouth,  Chu Fei Yang thought that the spiciness brought along a hint of sweetness and could not help but feel like finishing all the food.

Seeing that Chu Fei Yang and and Yun Qianmeng were enjoying their meal, Chu Wang could not help but silently curse, that brat, let's see if he can continue to pretend!

However, looking at Chu Fei Yang and Yun Qianmeng so happily eating, Chu wang rubbed his full belly. With eyes full of jealousy, Chu Wang demanded," Let Grandfather try it!"

Chu Fei Yang saw that Chu Wang was being inconsistent and completely forgot about what he had said just now so he generously reminded him," Grandfather is old, it is better that you avoid eating this kind of spicy food." After that, Chu Fei Yang picked up a piece of spicy cabbage and slowly chewed it, this spicy cabbage was crisp and delicious, extremely appetizing with rice!

In a short amount of time, Chu Fei Yang had finished his food. But seeing that Yun Qian Meng did not eat all the peppers, he frowned  "Ms Yun, didn't you just drink the soup? Why did you leave the chilli behind?"

Yun Qianmeng faintly smiled and cunningly said," I said that I would drink it but I never said I would eat everything. Leaving the chilli behind is not illegal, Chu Wang isn't that true?"


[So ultimately Yun Qian Meng got the last laugh hahaha]
