After Qiuyue fed her mother the medicine and porridge, and made sure that her mother had fallen asleep soundly, she tiptoed out of the room. After closing the door, the room became quiet. Seeing Qian and Qiuye preparing food, she hurried over to help.
I saw Qian putting dishes into a peculiarly shaped plate, one meat dish and one vegetable dish, while Qiu Ye was adding rice and soup into it.
Qiuyue looked at the dinner plate and said, "Aunt Qian, this plate of yours is quite novel. It can hold all the food at once, and there's still room for soup."
Qian smiled and replied, "Yes, this is the idea of our little greedy cat Ah Xing. There are so many people here and the business in front is busy, so we can only eat in batches. It's not good to let the last batch of people eat leftovers."
"So that's how it is. Miss is really smart." After asking Qian, Qiuyue wanted to bring the prepared food to the dining table. Before she could move, she saw Xie Wanxing coming in, pulling Lu Zhou's clothes.
Xie Wanxing: "Aunt, is there enough food today?"
"Yes, there are plenty. My aunt made extra today." Qian replied, her eyes falling on Lu Zhou. "Did Ah Xing bring any guests?"
"Yes, I brought my brother Lu here." Xie Wanxing said happily, pulling Lu Zhou to sit at the table. His bright eyes stared at Qian Shi, his eyes full of desire. "Aunt, you must give him more meat."
"I got it!" Qian added some more meat to one of the plates, then brought two plates and placed them in front of them.
Lu Zhou lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you."
Qian: "Mr. Lu, these are simple meals. I don't know if you can get used to them. Just treat them like you're at home."
Lu Zhou looked at the pile of braised pork on the plate and said quickly, "I'm used to it. Thank you, auntie. Don't worry about me. Just focus on your own things."
"Brother, eat quickly. The braised pork made by my aunt is delicious." Xie Wanxing started eating hard after he said that.
Lu Zhou lowered his head and tasted it. The braised pork melted in his mouth, fat but not greasy. The rich aroma spread in his mouth instantly. The taste was indeed very good.
He originally came here to buy milk tea today, but Xie Wanxing strongly invited him to have lunch here. Looking at Xie Wanxing's expectant eyes, he didn't want to refuse, so he gave the servant some money and asked him to buy some food outside, and then he followed Xie Wanxing into the backyard.
"Your plate..."
"The plate is nice, isn't it?" Lu Zhou was interrupted by Xie Wanxing before he could finish his words, his face full of pride, "Oh, I'm tired of being praised. This plate I came up with is praised by everyone who has used it."
Seeing her smug look, Lu Zhou couldn't help but laugh: "Axing, you are really smart."
"Brother, when is your birthday?"
"Why, you asked me about my birthday? Are you going to give me a gift?" Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, with a teasing smile on his lips, "It's almost here. My birthday is in half a month."
"Yes, I want to give you a gift." Xie Wanxing nodded happily.
Lu Zhou is really her good brother. His birthday is in half a month, which is like giving her a pillow when she is sleepy.
I found two apprentices for Cheng Hui today. They should be able to start working after a few days of training. Then the store can start selling cakes. Xie Wanxing was just planning a big publicity spree when he caught Lu Zhou. What better way of publicity is there than giving him a big birthday cake at his birthday party?
Lu Zhou was surprised and said, "You really want to give me a gift? Then I'd like to thank Ah Xing first."
"Of course. I'm a woman who sticks to her word." Xie Wanxing patted her chest and promised, "Just wait."
Another person appeared at the backyard door at some point. When he saw Lu Zhou inside, he exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Qinghe? Why are you also eating and drinking for free here?" Qinghe is Lu Zhou's name.
Lu Zhou was so shocked that he forgot to stand up and salute: "Dean?" Where did this come from?
It was not until Mr. Zhao sat down opposite him that he came to his senses. He quickly stood up and respectfully saluted the dean.
"Okay, sit down."
Xie Songlin came over with two plates and called the sisters Qiuyue and Qiuye: "Come and eat with us." Who would have thought that the two sisters waved their hands and said they were going outside to help before running away.
Qiuyue remembered her mother's instructions. How could she dare to sit inside and eat so openly when her mistress was still helping out outside?
Lu Zhou watched the dean sitting opposite him eating with gusto, but he was extremely nervous. He glanced at the dean from time to time, his eyes full of restraint, and his hand holding the chopsticks was a little stiff.
"Why are you here?" After taking two bites, Old Zhao seemed to suddenly remember Lu Zhou and asked again.
"Grandpa Zhao, I asked my brother to come for dinner. My aunt made braised pork today, and Ah Xing really liked it."
After hearing what Xie Wanxing said, Mr. Zhao smiled kindly at her and said, "Grandpa, come over often for dinner. Are you welcome, Ah Xing?"
Xie Wanxing's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Welcome, welcome! If Grandpa Zhao came often, Ah Xing would be very happy. Mr. Shen said that you are very knowledgeable, Grandpa Zhao. Ah Xing likes you."
"Haha, okay, since Ah Xing welcomes grandpa so much, I will definitely come often in the future. But grandpa won't eat for free, grandpa will give you money." After saying this, Old Zhao took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and placed it in front of Xie Wanxing.
Xie Wanxing looked at the gold ingots in front of him, his jaw dropping in shock. He actually gave gold! This Mr. Zhao was too generous!
"Hey, Mr. Zhao, what are you doing?" Xie Songlin was also stunned, but once his reasoning returned, he quickly intervened, "I invited you to dinner, why are you giving me so much money? You're a famous scholar in my Great Jing State, with students all over the world. Your students are all pillars of the country. We ordinary people can't thank you enough. I look forward to you coming to dinner every day."
Mr. Zhao: "I plan to eat here every day."
Xie Songlin: “…”
Mr. Zhao pointed to the gold ingot and said, "This is my meal money. I will come here to eat at noon and in the evening from now on."
"Okay, okay, Grandpa Zhao, I'll come to eat every day from now on." Xie Wanxing reacted faster than Xie Songlin and clung to this golden thigh.
Xie Songlin: "Mr. Zhao, it is our honor to have you come to dinner, but we absolutely cannot accept this money. You can come anytime in the future, and we will do our best to prepare meals for you."
Mr. Zhao looked puzzled: "You charged me so much for tea, why are you so slow to eat?"
"That's right, Daddy, don't refuse. Grandpa Zhao will be unhappy soon." Xie Wanxing stuffed the gold ingot into her small cloth bag and ran to the small kitchen to get a cup of milk tea and placed it in front of Old Zhao. Her movements were quick and decisive, and her little face was full of cleverness. "Grandpa, drink some milk tea."
"Hey, thank you, Xing. How did you know that grandpa wanted to drink this? You're so smart."
Lu Zhou's eye twitched: Is she so good at coaxing everyone?
