Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Chapter 192 Returning South for Spring Festival (Chapter 15)

Seeing DouDou wrapped up in a red onesie like a little red envelope, Attorney Lang couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

The waiter set up a children's table for Dou Dou in the restaurant's private room, placing it between Attorney Lang and Lin Cuiling.

Adults have their own New Year's Eve dinner, and children have their own children's meals. Dou Dou used her little fists to pull her self-feeding fork and gnawed on a carrot with her only four tiny teeth, earning praise from her mother and aunt. Even Attorney Lang couldn't help but commend her for being capable.

Sisters Cuiling and Xiaomeng felt very proud when they heard their friends praising their children.

The dishes for today's New Year's Eve dinner are quite special, mainly because the names of the dishes all mean "prosperity".

For example, the main dish is the "Overbearing Dragon King Pot Dish," a huge pot piled high with top-quality ingredients in vibrant colors, such as abalone, lobster, scallops, sea cucumber, fish maw, roast goose, etc. It looks very rich and luxurious.

The "Good Fortune" roast meat platter includes roast pork and char siu. Regardless of the taste, the name is certainly auspicious.

Steamed Boston lobster with Xi Shi's egg, a dish called "Dragons Celebrate the New Year".

Rose-flavored soy sauce chicken is a dish inspired by a rooster announcing good news.

Steamed grouper symbolizes abundance year after year; this dish is considered a must-have at every table.

Other dishes include "May you have good fortune" (braised pork belly with abalone), "May your business prosper" (sweet and sour pork), and "May all your wishes come true" (braised pork belly with sea cucumber).

Xiaomeng noticed how exquisitely the dishes were presented and asked Lawyer Lang how much this New Year's Eve dinner would cost. Lawyer Lang replied directly that it wasn't much; he hadn't ordered any of the top-tier set menus, just ordinary home-style dishes, which only amounted to a few thousand yuan, something he could afford.

Upon hearing that the entire table of food only cost a few thousand yuan, Xiaomeng felt relieved.

If it were worth tens of thousands, she might consider splitting the bill with Attorney Lang. But it's only a few thousand, so there's no need to send money. She could just give Attorney Lang a pair of diamond cufflinks of a certain carat weight later; those would cost more than that.

Halfway through their meal, Tang Yulun pushed open the door to the private room and walked in.

"Xiao Tang? What are you doing here? Why aren't you at home having your New Year's Eve dinner? What are you doing running around? Looking for someone to play mahjong with?" Xiao Meng was surprised by his sudden appearances.

"What? My family finished our New Year's Eve dinner a long time ago."

Who starts at five or six o'clock like you?

In my hometown, dinner starts at 4 PM and has been going on for several hours; it's long over.

Attorney Lang pulled out a chair for him. "So you came all the way from the countryside?"

Xiao Tang plopped down. "Yeah, I had my New Year's Eve dinner at the big house in my hometown, which was also a 'pen cai' (a traditional Cantonese dish). As soon as we finished eating, all my cousins ​​had already run off. I was considered late to the party. Who stays at home watching TV after eating? They all come out for a follow-up meal."

Cuiling patted Xiaomeng's hand, telling her not to be so casual when talking to her friends, and said politely, "Xiao Tang, are you full? Would you like some more snacks?"

Xiao Tang glanced at their table. "Hey, freshly served hot goose fat rolls! I haven't had them in ages. Let me try them and see if they're authentic." He was a very outgoing and unassuming person. He picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a goose fat roll, and savored it.

"It's alright, not bad, quite crispy."

Do you have any activities planned for later?

Xiaomeng replied, "I'm going to burn the first incense at 12 o'clock."

Xiao Tang got excited, "Oh, does your family also have the custom of burning the first incense of the day? Which temple are you planning to go to?"

"Of course I'm going to Dayin Temple. That temple is especially lucky for me." Xiaomeng got her system outside Dayin Temple, so it's definitely very lucky for her.

"It's a bit far over there. Usually, people just visit a few temples in the city to pray, right? Why did you have to go all the way?" Xiao Tang took out his phone and started looking at it, seemingly checking the traffic conditions.

Attorney Lang thought Xiaomeng's choice was good. "There are advantages to being far away. In the past two years, the competition for the first incense offering at these temples in the city has become too fierce, and many people have been injured in the crowd. It's better to go to a temple that is farther away from the city to offer the first incense offering."

Xiao Tang turned his phone screen to show them, "There are several traffic jams on the ring expressway. We have to leave early if we want to go, otherwise we probably won't get there before noon."

Seeing that it was getting late, the group quickly set off.

Cuiping decided not to go; it was getting late, and she would take the child home to rest.

Xiaomeng first took the mother and daughter home, then changed into clothes that were easier to move in before going out again.

Her convenience lay mainly in avoiding excessive extravagance. Changing out of her million-dollar outfit and putting on a long down jacket was enough to keep her warm.
