Gu Yuan ignored his gaze and said to the man, "The nu will be here soon."
Qi Mingfei also realized he was a bit out of line and explained, "I just arrived in Sui City, and didn’t eat on the plane."
"Got it." Gu Yuan nodded slightly.
Lin Jingshan pushed the door open and placed the nu in front of Gu Yuan, "President Gu."
As soon as the nu arrived, Qi Mingfei craned his neck like a goose. Gu Yuan calmly pushed the nu in front of him.
"Then I won’t hold back." Qi Mingfei grabbed the nu and started ordering.
Chi Yu sat beside him, rubbing his forehead in frustration.
He worried about bringing soone who looks good, knows how to handle situations, and is well balanced to et. What if this person’s charm attracted Yuanyuan? Wouldn’t that be inviting trouble for himself!
In the end... sticking to the original plan would have been better.
The dishes at Xiangxilu are astronomically priced and feel like robbery to ordinary folks. A plate of braised pork costs 78,888, and a plate of stead fish costs 89,999...
Qi Mingfei was dumbfounded, "This is way too expensive!"
It’s robbery!
Qi Mingfei didn’t notice his own impropriety, and since the person on the other end of the earpiece wasn’t speaking, he felt the task was done, and it was ti for him to loosen up.
He asked the manager beside him, "Do you have cucumbers with dipping sauce?"
Lin Jingshan shook his head, "We don’t serve such rustic dishes here."
Gu Yuan spoke up at the right mont, "I’m hosting today, ’Young Master Quan,’ feel free to order whatever you like, no need to be polite."
"Then I won’t be polite." Hearing this, Qi Mingfei dropped the pretense and ordered freely.
"Fla Mountain with Snow is a good na, let’s have one. Maiden Disrobes sounds intriguing, one of that too. What kind of dish is ’Little Black’s Wedding’? Let’s have it. Also, arrange for White Horse Prince, Torture, and Guan Yu Battles Qin Qiong."
Qi Mingfei ordered a whole bunch, then handed the nu to Lin Jingshan and turned to Gu Yuan, "Miss Gu, I must say the dish nas here are really diverse, but I wonder about the taste."
Gu Yuan said, "Not bad."
"What does ’not bad’ an?" Qi Mingfei was puzzled.
Lin Jingshan explained, "’Not bad’ ans pretty good."
"Oh, then it must be good." Qi Mingfei suddenly understood.
The usually inconspicuous Chi Yu: "..."
The dishes started coming up.
Lin Jingshan introduced the first dish, "This dish is called Maiden Disrobes."
Qi Mingfei stared in surprise at the dish in front of him, "Isn’t this just cucumbers with dipping sauce? Didn’t you say you didn’t have this dish?"
Lin Jingshan: "We don’t, because this dish is called Maiden Disrobes."
"What Maiden Disrobes, isn’t this just cucumbers with dipping sauce?"
"..."
"And this tomatoes with sugar, what’s it called?"
Lin Jingshan: "Fla Mountain with Snow."
"I figured ’Little Black’s Wedding’ out, it’s just cutting a marinated egg into two, right?"
"Yes."
"My Guan Yu Battles Qin Qiong is scrambled eggs with tomatoes? And White Horse Prince is just a plate of white tofu? And Torture is fried bamboo shoots with at...??"
"Yes." Lin Jingshan nodded in response to each.
Qi Mingfei looked distressed, turning to Gu Yuan, "Miss Gu, this restaurant’s so wicked, isn’t it? The owner’s out of his mind with greed."
Gu Yuan laughed, "If it weren’t wicked, how would the owner make money?"
Qi Mingfei was speechless, and suddenly from Gu Yuan’s smile, he seed to understand sothing. He widened his eyes, "Is this money-burning place Miss Gu’s domain?"
Chi Yu stretched out his long legs, leaning back against the chair, "What did you think? My ex-girlfriend’s family fortune didn’t co from the wind."
"..." Gu Yuan glanced at the chatty Chi Yu, "Shut up."
Chi Yu retracted his legs, propping his chin on his hand, "What now, Yuanyuan? Your ex-boyfriend wants to praise you three hundred tis a day."
