In a blink of an eye, Singles' Day came, and Mao Qingdou went to the appointment on time with a small bag in hand.

Lu Qiubai had already arrived at the restaurant, was sitting on a seat holding a menu, chatting with a person standing next to him.

Mao Qingdou's small head popped out at the door of the restaurant, and Lu Qiubai saw him from a distance, raised his hand and waved to him, beckoning him to come over.

This is a Chinese restaurant, the location is very remote, it looks old, the decoration of the store is also very simple, more than a dozen tables are filled in the lobby, and the innermost seats are separated by bead curtains, making it the best place in the store The "elegant room".

Mao Qingdou was a little surprised, Lu Qiubai fought with him for a long time, and finally made a reservation for such a restaurant?It doesn't look like a place where someone of Lu Qiubai's status would go.

Mao Qingdou passed one table after another, came to the "private room", put the bag on the corner of the table, sat down and took off his coat and said, "What are you talking about?"

Lu Qiubai said: "It's nothing, old friends catch up."

The man standing next to him seemed to be a round older than Lu Qiubai, standing beside Lu Qiubai politely said: "This is the guest Qiu Bai just mentioned, right? Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Mao Qingdou said, "Hello, hello, nice to meet you."

Lu Qiubai said: "Brother Li is usually so busy, and I have to bother Brother Li to come out to entertain in person, I'm really sorry."

"Hey, what are you talking about? What kind of friendship are we talking about! If you say these out-of-the-way things again, Brother Li, I'm going to get angry." Brother Li said, "Since the guests have arrived, I'm going to prepare the dishes?"

Lu Qiubai nodded and smiled, "Okay."

After Brother Li left, Mao Qingdou gave Lu Qiubai a wink and said, "Lu Qiubai, you're in a good mood today, isn't today a good day?"

Lu Qiubai said: "These days you read every day, you've lost weight."

"Huh? Then?"

"Eat more."

After Mao Qingdou came in, many customers came in one after another in this restaurant. It was overcrowded for a while, and there were almost no vacant seats to sit, but there were several waves of people waiting outside the door.

After waiting for a while, the dishes were served.

Emerald shrimp, three shredded shark's fin, stewed chicken soup with matsutake mushrooms, mullet egg flower... Mao Qingdou was dazzled by the sight.

After Mao Qingdou tasted it, she finally knew why Lu Qiubai chose to eat here for her birthday.

It is so delicious!

Maoqingdou almost devoured it, and said while eating, "Lu Qiubai, you really know how to choose a place!"

Mao Qingdou was eating when there was a sudden noise outside.Lu Qiubai looked outside, frowned, called Brother Li and said, "What's going on outside?"

Brother Li went out to look around and came back: "There are two guests outside who want to come in for dinner, but they don't have an appointment, but don't worry, it has been resolved."

Lu Qiubai said, "How did you solve it?"

Li Ge said: "You also know that our store is going to be renovated, and there is a location that is not very good, so it was closed early and closed to the public. Now some people are clamoring for food, and they say they don't mind where to sit. The more remote the better, The other girls have said so, and we were even more embarrassed to refuse, so we invited them in."

While talking, the waiter came over to Brother Li and said, "Brother Li, the location is ready." Brother Li hurried out to say hello.

Mao Qingdou raised her face from the assortment of dishes, looked at the door, and sprayed it out with a "poof".

The two people who walked in at the door were Shi Qing and He Li.

When he entered the door, He couldn't help but look into the lobby, but Shi Qing grabbed him and dragged him aside.

Mao Qingdou said, "Why are these two people here? Let's call them over and eat together."

Lu Qiubai held him down: "No."

Mao Qingdou sat back on her seat again and secretly looked at the two people in the corner.

He Li had his back to them, but suddenly stood up and looked around. Shi Qing, who was sitting across from him, pushed his head down on the table, lowered his head with flickering eyes, and looked in the direction of Mao Qingdou and Lu Qiubai from time to time. Squint peek.

Mao Qingdou's heart skipped a beat: "...No way? These two people are actually following us?"

Lu Qiubai put his chopsticks into the Maoqingdou bowl and said, "Eat first."

After a while, there was another noise outside the door, this time it was louder than before, and it sounded menacing.

Mao Qingdou looked out, and saw a burly middle-aged man standing outside the door, followed by a little brother. Regardless of the waiter's dissuasion, the middle-aged man barged in with the door curtain lifted, and shouted, "Who says you have to make an appointment to get a job?" Eat? Call your boss!"

Hearing the movement, Brother Li ran out to take a look, and he knew what happened at a glance, and said politely: "Brother, I'm really sorry, the shop is full today and the ingredients are limited, do you want to come back at another time? "

The middle-aged man snorted from his nostrils, rolled up his sleeves and continued to shout: "Need an appointment? Need an appointment? What the hell! Didn't those two just have an appointment? How did they come in? Why, let them in and not us. ? I just don’t believe in evil today!”

Brother Li's face froze, and he replied: "Oh, you said those two just now, those two sat in a bad position, isn't it because you are afraid that you two will not eat well, haha." Brother Li pointed to a The corner said, "Look, if it wasn't for that girl who said she didn't dislike it, I wouldn't be able to let guests sit. Now, let alone the location, there isn't even much food left."

The middle-aged man snorted from his nostrils: "Okay, then I'll wait, I'm done here today, I don't believe I won't be able to wait for a seat, and I won't be able to serve food!"

Brother Li's face froze, a little embarrassed and a little annoyed.

A waiter came up and said, "Brother Li, just now a customer who made an appointment called and said he can't come, what do you think?"

Brother Li wiped his sweat and said, "Then make room for these two guests." After arranging the seats, Brother Li sincerely apologized and walked into the back kitchen again.

After all this tossing, Mao Qingdou could clearly see Shi Qing and He Li on the other side looking this way, and when He Li moved too far, Shi Qing even picked up his chopsticks and hit him on the head.Mao Qingdou said: "Sneaky, I want to see what kind of medicine these two people are selling in their gourds!"

After the farce, full of wine and food, Brother Li brought a group of waiters over with a small cake.

The waiter clapped his hands: "Happy birthday!"

Li Ge said: "Qiubai, happy birthday, this is a gift from our restaurant to regular customers, you must accept it."

"...In that case, thank you very much." Lu Qiubai took the cake and placed it in front of Mao Qingdou.

After Brother Li left, Lu Qiubai said, "You like it? Eat it."

Mao Qingdou swallowed, and said, "Lu Qiubai, actually...actually I..."

Maoqingdou didn't speak for a long time, hesitating for a long time, finally lowered her head, silently took out the things in the bag, and put them in front of Lu Qiubai.

"Lu Qiubai, actually I know your birthday is today, so I specially prepared a small gift, I think you might like it."

Lu Qiubai glanced at Mao Qingdou, opened the small red box in front of him, and when he saw the contents clearly, his face became solemn for a moment.

Mao Qingdou said cautiously, "What? You don't like it? Well, last time I saw you like that, I thought you liked it."

It was a maple leaf-shaped pendant with a slight silvery gleam on its surface.

"..."

Lu Qiubai pinched the pendant in his hand, his expression became more solemn, he lowered his eyes for a long time, and could no longer see the color in his eyes.

Mao Qingdou raised her hand and shook it in front of his eyes: "Hey Lu Qiubai, it's just a pendant, do you want to react so violently? Wait a minute, are you crying?"

Suddenly, there was a piercing sound from the side, and everyone in the store turned their attention to a burly man.

The man just finished spitting, still holding his breath, kicked over the stool and said: "What's going on? The ingredients are limited? I waited for a long time and the food didn't come. Is there time to make cakes for others?! I think your restaurant is deliberately against me, right?!"

As the middle-aged man spoke, he hurried to Mao Qingdou, pointed to the cake in Mao Qingdou's hand, and said, "Look, everyone, they still have to deliver, what about us? The dishes are not all served!"

Some customers nearby began to smooth things over: "Oh, don't be angry, this store is like this. I have been eating for more than 20 years. The food is served slowly, and I am used to it."

"You ate without an appointment, so don't worry about it, the boss has prepared it for you."

"Harmony generates wealth and harmony generates wealth."

When the middle-aged man heard this, instead of calming down his anger, it intensified: "If the food is served slowly, everyone will be served slowly. Why can they be so fast? Did you see how happy the boss was chatting with them just now? Tell me You, I can't bear this kind of backdoor privilege!" After saying that, he snatched Mao Qingdou's cake and threw it on the ground with all his strength, smashing it into a cloud of mud on the spot, saying, "I don't care, anyway, today I can't eat it, and you don't even want to eat it!"

Maoqingdou jumped up angrily, and said, "What are you doing! It's a birthday, is it your birthday?"

The middle-aged man spat on the ground with a "bah", and said: "I can't celebrate my birthday, but I need you to take care of it? Okay, if you want to say this, then I will celebrate my birthday too. I will celebrate my birthday today, what's wrong?"

Lu Qiubai said: "Please speak respectfully, this is a public place, not your home."

The man said: "What's wrong with me treating this place as my own home? There are little hairy kids who are born and no one teaches them, so why do I just teach them a lesson?"

After the man finished speaking, he waved his fist and rushed towards Mao Qingdou's face. Lu Qiubai exclaimed, "Be careful!"

With a dodge, Lu Qiubai rushed in front of Mao Qingdou, and the man punched Lu Qiubai hard on the back.

It was pitch black before Mao Qingdou's eyes, and he saw nothing, only heard a muffled sound behind him.He tried his best to break free from Lu Qiubai's arms, gritted his teeth, stared at the man angrily, and said, "Who the hell do you say is that life is not taught?"

After saying that, Mao Qingdou jumped up and rushed towards the man, Lu Qiubai hugged him, Mao Qingdou couldn't break free, lay on Lu Qiubai's shoulder and yelled at the man: "You are the one who has no one to teach you! "

The man said: "Little bastard, today I am going to teach you a lesson for your mother, believe it or not!"

"shut up!"

This voice came from several people, and it was impossible to tell who said it in the confusion.

Brother Li came out from the back kitchen and said in a low voice, "This customer, please go out now, our store does not welcome customers like you."

Hearing this, the man rolled up his sleeves and rushed to Li Ge's side, saying, "What did you say? Do you think I want to eat your crap? I'm afraid you're getting impatient..."

"stop!"

There was another shock, at this moment, everyone stopped what they were doing.

A few policemen in uniform stood at the door, looking at the people in the main room with serious expressions.
