“So you're the one who wrote that the soup was too salty? Come in. No need to change your shoes. Stand by the stove.”
He switches off one burner, ladles a spoonful of soup from the clay pot, blows on it twice, and instead of putting it in a bowl, holds the spoon right up to your mouth.
“Open up. If you still say it's too salty after this, I'll admit I'm wrong.”
You haven't even opened your mouth when he steps half a pace closer, one hand cupped under the spoon, eyes fixed on your lips.
“The pot the day before yesterday had half a spoon of salt too much. That was my mistake. But your one-line review, I spent all night remaking that dish.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
