Daily life in the academy

The young man was startled, as if he didn't expect a waiter to start a small talk with him, but out of politeness he still replied: "Yes, this is our first time here."

Bai Zhi's smile widened: "I said you looked unfamiliar, otherwise how could I not remember such a pretty girl and a young man coming to the store?"

Who doesn't like to be praised, let alone a couple in love? The young man's original unhappiness was diluted by these few words. He smiled and replied: "This is the first time I've seen a waiter like you. You are very good at talking."

When the girl heard Bai Zhi praising them, although she was still shy, she was obviously much more relaxed than when she entered the room.

"No, I just saw that the girl was a little nervous. We also have some sweets in our shop, such as Yulu dumplings, almond crisps, and soft date cakes. They are sweet but not greasy, and they can make people feel better after eating them."

After hearing this, the girl also spoke: "Then waiter, please give me a serving of Yulu dumplings."

Bai Zhi happily replied, "Okay. Miss, will you have a few drinks with me later?"

Hearing her question, the young man also looked at the girl he loved in front of him. It had been a long time since they made the appointment a few days ago before she agreed to go out with him. Naturally, he also hoped to stay with her for a while longer.

The girl looked up and saw her lover looking at her expectantly. She nodded slightly without commenting.

Bai Zhi smiled and recommended, "That Qiulubai may not be suitable for you, young lady. This wine is more suitable for men, and women may get drunk easily. Why don't I give you another pot of Yujiang, which is most suitable for women to taste. It has a mellow and sweet taste, and is not intoxicating."

The girl bit her lip, unable to make up her mind for a moment, and looked at her lover. The young man was awakened by Bai Zhi's words: "It's my fault. Then give Ah Yu a pot of jade juice."

"Okay, I'll prepare food for you."

The first battle was a success, and Baizhi happily went to the kitchen window to place the order. The young couple probably just wanted to eat something and talk together, so they didn't order much, and all the food and wine were ready.

Afterwards, Baizhi picked a few tables of customers and tried to promote other products in the store. She succeeded three times and failed once. The last time she failed, the customer was a burly man who seemed to be in a bad mood, so Baizhi didn't dare to say anything more.

The young couple at the first table that she served called Bai Zhi over to pay the bill. Since it was the first table that she had served independently and successfully sold to, Bai Zhi saw them to the door with a smile on her face.

“I wish you a long and happy life together and may you visit our store often in the future.”

The young man and the girl named Ayu couldn't help laughing when they heard this, responded happily and turned away.

Bai Zhi stood in front of the tavern and watched the two of them snuggling with each other and walking further and further away. The smile on her face grew wider as she was attracted by their sweet couple. It turned out that watching others fall in love was the happiest thing.

"Hey, isn't this Bai Zhi? Why are you here?"

Suddenly, Mu Bailian's careless voice broke this beautiful scene.

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes before turning to him, then quickly adjusted her expression and looked in the direction of the voice with a smile. She didn't expect that Yan Qingchen was also with them.

Master Xie's warning words immediately rang in her mind: The difference in status between you and them is too great, their identities are too complicated, and your family background is too... meager.

For a moment, the smile on his face was a little stiff.

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will both take a day off, and Brother Ye and I will come here to work and earn some money."

Mu Bailian was so calm that he didn't notice anything unusual about Bai Zhi. However, he looked towards the tavern behind her as if he had discovered some new world.

"This tavern? The name is quite interesting. Brother Yan and I were just looking for a place to eat and we happened to meet you. How about we eat here?"

His last question was directed at Yan Qingchen, who glanced at Bai Zhi, who looked a little uneasy, then at Mu Bailian, who was full of interest, and nodded, "Then let's eat here."

Since the two gentlemen had already spoken, Bai Zhi didn't dare to chase them away, but she couldn't stop doing business either, so she immediately put away her shyness and naturally welcomed the two men in.

Ye Yanliang happened to have just finished clearing a table and came face to face with the three of them. He saw the two people behind Bai Zhi and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. He was about to shout, "Yan..."

Bai Zhi quickly interrupted him, "It was late at night, and I happened to run into these two classmates of ours looking for food outside, so I invited them in to have something to eat so they wouldn't be late returning home before curfew."

"Ah, yes, then Brother Bai, you go first." Ye Yanliang also realized that his reaction just now was very inappropriate, and immediately continued along with Bai Zhi's words.

Bai Zhi led the two to a quieter corner, wiped the tables and chairs before letting them sit down.

"Excuse me, what would you two like to eat?"

Yan Qingchen was sitting opposite Bai Zhi. Although the person in front of him had a smile on his face, the smile did not reach his eyes. Even the tone when he called her was a little distant. He frowned slightly, but in the end he did not say anything, just looked at her indifferently.

Mu Bailian, a man of few nerves, didn't care about these details at all. He asked enthusiastically, "Do you have any recommendations for good wine or food?"

Originally, Bai Zhi was still struggling between emotion and rationality, wondering whether to greet them respectfully or to rip them off. However, after Mu Bailian's question, Bai Zhi's rationality collapsed and was suppressed by emotion. Anyway, these rich young men were definitely not short of money and would not care about this small amount of money.

Because her emotions were slightly revealed, the smile on her face even had a hint of cunning.

"You've come to the right person. Our tavern may not be very impressive, but the proprietress has hired a great chef. The popular dishes, like the Braised Bright Shrimp and White Jade Fish Sashimi, are just as good as those in the big restaurants. We also have Biluo and Crystal Dragon and Phoenix Cake. As for the wine, you absolutely have to drink Sanqing wine, a wine imported from the Leka Kingdom. It has a rich, fruity aroma without being intoxicating."

In fact, some of Bai Zhi's words were more or less exaggerated. How could the two young masters have eaten so few rare delicacies? They definitely wouldn't care about what she said.

However, Mu Bailian saw that she was very excited when she spoke, as if the food tasted delicious. Mu Bailian's appetite was aroused. He glanced at Yan Qingchen, who did not react, so he slammed the table and made a decision.

"Okay, give me one of everything you just mentioned, and hurry up. I haven't had a drop of water since school and I'm starving."

Seeing him so straightforward, Bai Zhi felt relieved, and even her voice rose a little when she answered: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Looking at Bai Zhi's quickly departing figure, Mu Bailian raised his hand and tapped on the table: "Before you came, didn't you say you were going to Xiyun Tower for a feast?"

Mu Bailian looked indifferent and waved his hand: "We have seen Bai Zhi. After all, he helped Wenzhe. We are here to attract business for him. It doesn't matter where we eat."

Yan Qingchen felt that what he said made sense, and he had agreed with it just now, so he nodded and stopped talking.
