Chapter 569: Chapter 571: Snacks for Drinks Chapter 569: Chapter 571: Snacks for Drinks “Sss…”
Liu Sisi imdiately drew in a breath of cold air and said, “My God, does it make that much money?”
“Doesn’t it?” Xiao Han nodded and replied, “The daily turnover is over two hundred thousand. It really does make a lot of money.”
“That’s more than our clinic makes in a whole year!” Liu Sisi exclaid.
“First of all, the dishes here are quite distinctive. Second, the students in the surrounding area have strong spending power,” Xiao Han said with a smile. “Finally, the person in charge of this restaurant really knows how to market. He always manages to attract the local residents to spend their money here.”
Liu Sisi sighed and said, “That’s impressive!”
Xiao Han thought to himself that he was the person in charge of the restaurant. Was he boasting about his own business?
Liu Sisi’s lips curled up in a smile as she said, “That shows the person in charge is really capable. To be able to run such a large restaurant so well.”
Soon, the dishes Xiao Han had ordered arrived one after the other.
Seeing those impressive dishes, Liu Sisi seed a bit shocked. Faced with a whole roasted suckling pig, she said in surprise, “How… how do you eat this?”
“Eat the skin,” Xiao Han laughed. “Dip it in the sauce.”
Liu Sisi followed Xiao Han’s lead, taking a piece of the roasted suckling pig’s skin and dipping it into the sweet bean sauce before taking a bite. The taste was amazing. She couldn’t help but eat several pieces in one go. Savoring the flavor, she said, “It’s wonderful, really tasty.”
“Isn’t it?” Xiao Han nodded and then said, “It really is very good.”
“This sliced duck is also delicious,” Liu Sisi quickly praised.
Although there were only four dishes, each was a signature dish of the restaurant and quite expensive, especially the roasted suckling pig, which alone cost three hundred and eighty-eight yuan. A al ca close to a thousand yuan. Such expensive prices really made it unaffordable for many. Of course, dishes like the roasted suckling pig were rarely ordered except for large student gatherings or group als.
When it ca ti to pay the bill, Liu Sisi was a bit startled by the cost of over eight hundred yuan.
“This expensive?” Liu Sisi marveled.
“It’s okay,” Xiao Han said as he paid. Then he smiled and added, “It’s getting late, shall I take you back?”
“Sure,” Liu Sisi replied with a slight blush, then said, “It’s a sha to leave so much food; I’ll pack it up.”
“Okay!” Xiao Han agreed. He imdiately had the waiter bring over two takeaway boxes. After all, only two people were dining, and there was so much food left, especially since Liu Sisi had a small appetite and was already full after eating a bit, leaving most of the dishes on the table uneaten.
Leaving the restaurant, it was already dark outside, and the streetlights were lit. A queue of people lined up at the entrance of the restaurant.
“Xiao Han!” Suddenly, a voice called out from the line of people.
“Zhang Feng?” Xiao Han looked at Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng and Xiaohua were together in line, waiting to eat, and they spotted Xiao Han as he ca out of the restaurant.
“I’m treating Xiaohua to dinner,” Zhang Feng chuckled and asked, “Have you guys finished eating?”
“Yes, we have,” Xiao Han nodded, then said, “I’m going to take Sisi back to the clinic, we’ll talk later.”
“Sure!” Zhang Feng nodded with a sly smile on his face.
The journey back was smooth sailing considering it was rush hour; surprisingly, there was no traffic. This indeed took Xiao Han by surprise.
He managed to take Liu Sisi back to Kangning Clinic without any trouble.
“Xiao Han, thank you for dinner today,” Liu Sisi said daintily, her doe-like eyes seemingly speaking words of their own.
“It’s nothing,” Xiao Han smiled, then added, “We can eat together again when you’re free.”
“Great!” Liu Sisi nodded but then quickly said, “Next ti, it’s my treat.”
“That works!” Xiao Han responded imdiately, nodding his head.
Afterward, Xiao Han drove away. Liu Sisi watched his retreating figure, a satisfied smile on her face. She remained there until Xiao Han’s car disappeared from her sight, then she turned around and entered the house.
Seeing his daughter return, Old Man Liu heaved a sigh and said, “Sisi, you’re back?”
“Dad, have you had your dinner yet?” Liu Sisi hurriedly asked.
“Ah…” Old Man Liu glanced at his daughter and said, “Sisi, while you’re out enjoying good food and drinks, spare a thought for , alone at ho eating radishes and cabbage, how pitiful.”
Liu Sisi was taken aback, then laughed and said, “Didn’t I leave you so dishes at lunchti?”
“They’ve gone bad,” Old Man Liu said with a wry smile.
“No worries, I’ve brought so back for you,” Liu Sisi said, carrying the leftovers she had packed from Hann Restaurant. She then added cheerily, “Look, they’re all delicious dishes.”
He opened the box, and waves of delicious aroma drifted out.
“What dish is this, so fragrant?” Old Man Liu rejoiced.
“Roast suckling pig, Peking duck, and more…” Liu Sisi hurriedly said.
Old Man Liu seed very happy, and he quickly said, “Quick… go get my liquor, it’s truly my daughter who is thoughtful. These are all excellent dishes to accompany a drink!”
Old Man Liu dearly loved baijiu, but though he enjoyed drinking, he never overdid it, and never indulged excessively. Drinking, in his opinion, should be done in moderation. Excess could harm the body. As a doctor, he understood this very well.
“You should drink less!” Liu Sisi brought over the baijiu and a glass for her father.
Old Man Liu appeared very happy.
In the clinic, so people were getting IV drips, idly watching television.
At this mont, an idle elderly woman ca over and asked, “Old Liu, does your daughter have a boyfriend?”
“No!” Old Man Liu shook his head.
“How about… I set up a match for you?” the elderly woman hurriedly said, “I know a fine young man who is good-looking and has his own house and car. His family conditions are also quite good. Would you consider it…”
“No consideration!” Liu Sisi, who overheard, quickly ca over and said, “I already have a boyfriend.”
“Ah…” The elderly woman was taken aback and said, “Sisi, don’t be too resistant to matchmaking. It’s our tradition, and matchmaking has its benefits—it’s about getting to know each other, unlike with n one ets on their own, who are not mutually acquainted, are unknown quantities…”
The elderly woman’s monologue made Liu Sisi very uncomfortable.
“Old lady, did you co here to see a doctor or to do matchmaking?” Liu Sisi frowned, now dressed in a white lab coat.
“I…” The elderly woman stamred.
“Alright, sit tight now.” Liu Sisi said with a smile, “I’ll take your blood pressure and see how you are doing.”
“Okay, okay!” The elderly woman imdiately nodded.
Liu Sisi was most annoyed with these people who were obsessed with matchmaking. This old lady had a son who was now in his thirties and still didn’t have a girlfriend. Instead of worrying about her own son, she busily ddled in others’ affairs. Sisi grew impatient and unwilling to be troubled by such concerns.
…………
Xiao Han drove back to the school.
The car stopped in the faculty parking lot, and then he walked back to the dormitory from there.
Just as he reached the dormitory entrance, he was halted by a voice: “Xiao Han…”
Behind him, a voice ca through, and Xiao Han quickly stopped in his tracks, turning to look. To his surprise, it was a familiar face. Xiao Han said in astonishnt, “Liu Yiyi?!”
“Haven’t seen you for a few days.” Liu Yiyi, in a white long dress and a smile on her face, still had her waterfall-like long hair, a tall figure, and an extraordinary presence, with a goddess hairband on her head. Perhaps because she had studied dance since she was young, whenever she stood sowhere, her temperant stood out imnsely. Ordinary girls paled next to her and felt naturally ashad. Liu Yiyi maintained a smile as she walked slowly toward Xiao Han.
“Do… do you need sothing from ?” Xiao Han asked.
“I want to talk to you,” Liu Yiyi said seriously to Xiao Han.
“About what?” Xiao Han was sowhat cold, clearly having lost the favorable impression he once had when he first saw Liu Yiyi. There was none of the initial amazent and admiration left.
Since the last ti he saw Liu Yiyi being surrounded and idolized by Qin Xiaotian in the cafeteria, Xiao Han’s slight affection for her had completely vanished. Therefore, upon seeing Liu Yiyi again, he had nothing but complaints.
“You are prejudiced against ,” Liu Yiyi looked at Xiao Han and said, “Can’t you give a chance?”
“What sort of chance?” Xiao Han looked at Liu Yiyi, curious.
“A chance to explain,” Liu Yiyi said.
“I am quite curious, why do you feel you need to explain anything to ?” Xiao Han asked, puzzled, “You and I are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, we can’t even be called friends. Why do you need to explain anything to ?”
Xiao Han’s words deeply disappointed Liu Yiyi. A shade of sadness crossed her face as she gazed at Xiao Han, her beautiful eyes locked on his, and after a long mont, she said, “I never expected I would be just nobody to you. I always thought of you as a friend, but in your heart, I’m not even that. It seems I was deluding myself… sorry to have bothered you!”
Having said that, Liu Yiyi bowed to Xiao Han, then turned and left.
The mont she turned around, Liu Yiyi covered her mouth with a hand, evidently hurt by what Xiao Han had said.
In her mind, the image of the Prince Charming seed to collapse in an instant. To be honest, Liu Yiyi had a very good impression of Xiao Han; even if it wasn’t perfect, it was definitely a high score of ninety out of a hundred. Just from this point, Xiao Han held a good image in Liu Yiyi’s heart.
Especially since the new student welco gala of their departnt, Liu Yiyi had admired Xiao Han’s guzheng performance and his talent to create paintings with splashed ink. Since then, Xiao Han had left an indelible impression in her heart. Moreover, she had often wanted to talk to Xiao Han. But considering her own health and her relationship with the Qin family, she had never mustered the courage.
Screech…
Suddenly, a sharp sound of brakes rang out from beside them.
