" Daoming Si, how are you? "
Daoming Si stood up and shook hands with Mr Dong and plastered a polite smile on his face.
" I am fine Shushu. And how's yourself? " replied Daoming Si.
( ' he's fine ' of course thought Shancai )
" How is your family, your mother? "
" She is very well, thank you! " Daoming Si answered again.
( I see, so everything alright. nothing changed. Shancai talked to herself! )
" So are you really coming today to teach Shancai how to cook Sichuanese original dishes? Thank you for finding the time especially on Sunday, and taking your away from family time, Daoming Si " Mr Dong could not help but admired the young guy.
" I am not a good cook Shushu. I only know how to make Chengdu Sichuanese dishes and yes, that's only because my father taught me how ...before he passed away. I always feel I close to him again every time I cook " said Daoming Si in unreadable face.
" oh I am sorry Daoming Si. I didn't mean to make you upset.. "
" oh no — Shushu its okay. I am not feeling sad anymore , actually I feel proud and happy that I learned something very personal and also useful from my father. Something I treasured like family secret. " explained Daoming Si.
" alright . ..alright Daoming Si— we won't expect you to share your family recipes haha, just some basic would do. Shancai would definitely learning something useful from you. " Mrs Dong interrupted.
" well, it's secret... but not secret! honestly! I don't mind share it ! "
" also just called me ' AhSi ' , please Ayi " Daoming Si said and smiled, took a quick glance at Shancai.
( She wasn't looking at me, Daoming sighed. Did she listen to the conversation at all? )
" Ah- Si, yes you keep telling us. We keep forgetting! " chuckled Mr and Mrs Dong.
( How they're behaving like normal as something never happened? Daoming Si really is good in acting. Shancai underwhelmed)
" I think we better start soon. I am getting the ingredients from my car, just a minute ... "
" but AhSi, ... I had already bought a lots of stuff yesterday. You could use them. Although I didn't know what are you going to make, maybe I didn't get what you need. " told Mrs Dong .
" That's okay Ayi, keep all yours. I brought all the ingredients I needed. I will going to get them now. "
He excused himself and rushed out the house,
Mr and Mrs Dong looked at each other's and shooked their head, 'unbelievable!''
************
In 5 minutes, Daoming Si back with two shopping bags and one huge cool box.
" wow AhSi that's a lots! ... What are you planning to make? " asked Mr and Mrs Dong surprised to see how prepared Daoming Si was.
Shancai didn't say a word.
" ah today. I think I am going to demonstrate how to make chuan-chuan hot pot and bingfen for dessert. Those in cold box, I brought chicken, beef, tiger prawn and fresh squid. Skewers and spices in that bag. If we have more time, we can try to make Sichuan style dumplings. I know how Shancai really like dumplings! " Daoming Si said enthusiastically, hoping Shancai would appreciate his efforts.
( So he remembered! Why is he trying so hard? This is not going to work! Shancai felt the pain again)
" You do still loves dumplings, don't you? " Daoming Si throwing the question directly at Shancai with his deeply staring eyes.
" Yes— yes! of course I do still like dumplings..."
( Dumplings, right? )
