Chapter 13 Ordering Food

  Mu Yu Xin flipped the menu to the last page and saw that there was only one dish left, but the name of the dish made her heart skip a beat.

  "Seventy-two strokes of a sharp knife cut through one's heart."

  "Why is there only one dish? What's in this dish, anyway? It's really cruel!" Mu Yu Xin widened her eyes again and threw out three questions.

  Tian Nuoyu smiled again, slowly and elegantly saying: "This dish has 18 ingredients, 18 spicy flavors, and also 18 other flavors such as sour, sweet, bitter, numbing, salty, etc. When eating it, you will experience 18 emotions. Not only must your taste buds be able to withstand it, but your heart must also be able to withstand it. The 18th level of hell is called the Knife Saw Hell, so this dish is named '72 Times Knife Saws the Heart'".

  "Why does eating this dish have eighteen kinds of emotions?" Mu Yu Xin became extremely interested in this dish.

  "This dish is a bit like hot pot, when eating, the first thing to come up is a pot of clear broth, then eighteen ingredients are added to the pot one by one with different flavors of special sauce. The eighteen ingredients are not added to the pot all at once, nor are they randomly thrown in, but rather after finishing one kind, another is added, and every time you eat one kind, the flavor you feel is different, and your mood also changes with the flavor of the dish."

  "Is it really that amazing? Then let's order this dish!" Mu Yu Xin was a bit skeptical, but the dish had piqued her appetite.

  Tian Nuanyu unexpectedly shook her head: "You can't order this dish".

  "Why? This dish isn't expensive, you should be able to afford it!" Mu Yu Xing said with a pout, she glanced down at the menu and saw that this dish was only 180 yuan.

  "Up till now, no one has been able to finish this dish successfully!" Tian Nuanyu said calmly.

  "What does that even mean? Can't finish one dish?" Mu Yu Xin felt that Tian Nuan Yu was being overly dramatic.

  "Not many people can eat this dish, and among those who have eaten it, most of them give up after four or five courses. The current record is nine courses," Tian Nuoyu said slowly.

  "Is it really that mysterious? Then let's order this dish and eat!" The more they talked, the more mysterious it became, which had already piqued Mu Yu Xin's interest and sparked her competitive spirit.

  Tian Nuoyu shook her head: "You won't be able to eat it even if you want to today."

  "Why?"

  After Mu Yu Xin entered the store, she had already asked many questions, and her face showed impatience. This proved that Tian Nuan Yu was right in saying that she personally tasted it, and she didn't want to listen with her ears anymore.

  "This dish needs to be booked three months in advance!" Tian Nuoyu said slowly.

  "What! Why?" Mu Yu Xing couldn't help but throw out another "why".

  "The special sauce in this dish needs to be marinated for three months before it can be eaten, and it is only made according to the reserved portion. In other words, Uncle Yan will only make it according to the ratio after someone has made a reservation. Moreover, reservations can only be made on days that end with 10 every month, with each reservation limited to one serving plus three servings for advance booking, totaling six servings. Each person can only reserve one serving and cannot book multiple servings."

  "Why distinguish between booking quantity and reservation quantity?"

  "The reservation quantity refers to the fact that if you book today, you can eat this dish three months later. The appointment quantity is to make an appointment in advance, which means making an appointment and getting a number first, and then Uncle Yan will notify you three days in advance when to come and eat."

  "What? It's so complicated! Why does it have to be like this? Is it on purpose?" Mu Yu Xing exclaimed.

  Only eighteen people can make a reservation per month, and they have to wait three months to taste the dish. Those who are queuing for reservations still don't know when they will be able to eat it. How many people can have such patience to wait?

  "Yan Shu never pretends to be mysterious, eating this dish is like experiencing life once!" Tian Nanyu's face showed a profound expression.

  Tian Nuanyu's expression made Mu Yuxin feel like she was being mysterious, her stomach had been hungry for a long time and she didn't have the mood to ask any more questions, so she looked at the other dishes on the menu again, muttering: "Is this dish so complicated that someone will order it?"

  "Yes, and many people have already booked their time slots for next year!" Tian Nuoyu smiled.

  "Is there really someone who has the patience to wait?" Mu Yu Xin looked at the menu and curled her lip.

  "If you are sincere and truly wish for it, your dreams will definitely come true!" Tian Nuoyu said another sentence with profound meaning.

  Mu Yu Xin didn't want to listen to Tian Nuan Yu's nonsense anymore, she pointed at the menu: "I'll order something from the ninth page, I want to try the flavor of the deep-fried dishes!" After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh.

  Tian Nuoyu also smiled, but shook her head again.

  "How can it be? Do we need to make a reservation for this too?" Mu Yu Xing let out a cry of despair.

  "I suggest you try a little of the dish first, the spiciness here is not ordinary, if you eat too much at once, I'm afraid you won't just be wiping away tears, you might not even be able to leave this place!" Tian Nuanyu said gently.

  "You've been beating around the bush since we came in, I don't believe there's anything special about this place. I said I wanted to order from the 9th floor menu, so just take our order from the 9th floor! Are you trying to say that you can't afford it on purpose? Don't worry, I'll pay the bill!"

  Tian Nuanyu's words made Mu Yuxin feel a bit seen through, and she saw that the prices of the dishes on the menu were higher as you went up the levels. She slammed the menu onto the table and raised her head haughtily.

  Tian Nuoyu couldn't help but laugh lightly: "Alright, let's order some dishes from the second floor first and try them out. If you want more after trying, we can add more slowly, it's not late. I brought you here, of course, I'm treating you to a meal! I still want to win your favor, don't I?"

  Mu Yu Xing knew that Tian Nuan Yu was saying this on purpose, she raised an eyebrow, but still adopted Tian Nuan Yu's suggestion. In the end, under Tian Nuan Yu's recommendation, Mu Yu Xing ordered a dish: Hell Second Layer Scissor Slippery Fish Slices.

  The dishes were served quickly, but after the dishes were placed on the table, Mu Yu Xing glanced at the dishes and looked at Tian Nuan Yu again, with a puzzled expression on her face.
