Zheng Shaochen swaggered over to the table and sat down with a grand gesture, saying, "Our Qinglin Restaurant, don’t even ntion a small place like Qingshan Town, it’s top-notch even in all of Yunyao. Little girl, just order whatever you like today. On account of you calling brother and for the sake of my cousin, we’ll make sure you have a good al."
"Really, I can have anything I want?" Gu Nian rolled her eyes, an idea forming in her mind instantly.
If earlier she was still thinking of teasing Zheng Shaochen, by now, that thought had completely transford.
Zheng Shaochen had no inkling of Gu Nian’s thoughts, confidently stating, "As long as you can na it!"
Gu Nian thought for a mont and said, "Extravagance and waste are not good habits. There aren’t many of us, so if we order too much, we won’t finish it..."
Before Gu Nian could finish, Zheng Shaochen started laughing.
See, no matter how pretty or cute she is, she’s still just a little girl with no experience. Even if you let her order anything, she can’t co up with anything special.
However, Zheng Shaochen soon realized he had spoken too soon.
Gu Nian opened her mouth slightly and said, "Let’s start with furong pork, drunken shrimp, and a roast duck..." Gu Nian paused and continued, "It’s hot outside, so too much at can be heavy. Let’s have two more vegetarian dishes: braised eggplant and stir-fried green beans with pork."
The dishes Gu Nian ordered were quite ordinary, and the ingredients weren’t expensive. She had no difficulty in this area.
On a side note, she had eaten roast duck at Jufu Restaurant last ti. Although it tasted okay, Gu Nian felt there were flaws in the seasoning process. She wanted to try how they did it at Qinglin Restaurant this ti.
After she finished speaking, she looked up and asked Zheng Shaochen, "I’m done, do you have anything to add?"
Surprisingly, Zheng Shaochen just stared at her, dumbfounded.
"What’s wrong?" Gu Nian asked.
Mrs. Jiang, who hadn’t seen much of the world, saw Zheng Shaochen’s reaction and thought Gu Nian had ordered too much and made him unhappy. She imdiately said, "Niannian, the Young Master was just being polite when he let you order. How could you take it seriously? We’re here to see your big brother, just eat a little sothing."
Gu Nian winked reassuringly at Mrs. Jiang, then continued to stare at Zheng Shaochen.
Zheng Shaochen frowned and said, "What are furong pork and drunken shrimp? What did you order? I’ve never even heard of them. Are they made with a furong flower and drunken shrimp?"
Zheng Shaochen felt that this little girl must be intentionally making things difficult for him.
Gu Nian almost burst into laughter, "And you said I could order whatever I wanted. Turns out you don’t even have what I asked for!"
In that instant, Zheng Shaochen felt his pride being trampled on.
He turned to the waiter and said, "Go to the kitchen and get the head chef."
Then, rembering that the two had ntioned they were here to see soone, he casually asked what Mrs. Jiang’s son’s na was so they could all be brought over.
The head chef of Qinglin Restaurant was Dahu’s master, and the two of them were called together. On the way, the head chef reminded Dahu to be sweet to the Young Master, which might earn him a tip.
However, as soon as they entered the room, Dahu was shocked, "Mom, little sis, what are you doing here?"
The head chef looked at Dahu, equally astonished.
He had no idea this kid’s family had any connection with the Young Master; why hadn’t he heard about this before?
