Chapter 987: Chapter 987 Preparing a Backdoor (2)
....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Oh,” Chenchen acknowledged with a disappointed sigh. His curiosity then s.h.i.+fted to other aspects of the modern world, asking about martial arts, food, clothing, and more.
Five days later, on the afternoon of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the group arrived in town. However, apprehensive about the inconvenience of cooking at home, Zhou Ying decided to take everyone to Gra.s.sland Taste Restaurant.
Zhao Cheng, recently promoted to manager, was speechless upon their arrival. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. “My Lord, Madam, when did you return? Why wasn’t there any word sent in advance?”
“Just a surprise visit,” Zhou Ying replied after settling down with Third Fatty nestled in her arms. “How’s everyone doing? Are all well?”
“Everything’s wonderful! Those who were ready to marry have found spouses, and even one of the apprentices has become a chef,” Zhao Cheng reported enthusiastically as he ushered everyone to their seats.
Moments later, a waiter arrived with tea for the group. Finally, he inquired, “By the way, have you all eaten yet? Just let me know what you’d like, and I’ll arrange for the kitchen to prepare it.”
“You can help us decide,” Zhou Ying replied. “It’s quite chilly today. Perhaps some soup and a hearty staple dish would be perfect.”
“Excellent timing, actually,” Zhao Cheng responded. “We’ve just made a delicious mutton offal soup. Would everyone like a bowl? We can also prepare some flatbread and side dishes.”
“Sounds good. However, prepare some beef noodles for the three children.
They might not be accustomed to eating mutton offal.”
“Beef noodles it is, then. Why don’t you all have some water first? I’ll head back and get everything arranged.” With that, Zhao Cheng hurried off to the kitchen. Gazing around the establishment, Gu Chengrui remarked, “This place was last renovated while we were still here. It looks like it’s due for another one.”
“Agreed,” Zhou Ying concurred. “Perhaps we can discuss it during the spring off-season.”
Turning to Lin Yitian and the others, Gu Chengrui asked, “Is there anything in particular you’d like to eat? The menu here is quite similar to those found in the capital.”
“The lamb offal soup sounds excellent,” Lin Yitian replied. “Dinner shouldn’t be too far off, anyway.”
Suddenly, Third Fatty interjected with a shout, “Pee!”
“Me too!” Chenchen quickly chimed in.
“Alright then,” Gu Chengrui chuckled. “Go wash your hands while you’re at it.” After these words, he picked up Third Fatty and greeted Lin Yitian and the others before leading everyone towards the back.
Observing Guoguo’s listless demeanor, Zhou Ying inquired with concern, “Are you tired? Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
“A little sleepy,” Guoguo mumbled. “I didn’t sleep very soundly.”
“Just hang in there a little longer,” Zhou Ying soothed. “We’ll head home and get you to bed after dinner.”
As if on cue, Zhao Cheng emerged with two waiters, each carrying six plates overflowing with snacks.
“Madam, is there anything else you might like?” Zhao Cheng approached them to inquire.
“No, that’s all for now. By the way, will the restaurant be closed tomorrow?”
“Yes, with the New Year approaching, we’ll be closing for a holiday starting the day after tomorrow evening.”
“Here’s an idea,” Zhou Ying proposed. “Why don’t we stay open until noon tomorrow and gather everyone for a celebratory dinner tomorrow night?” “That’s a wonderful idea! There are many new faces in the restaurant now who haven’t had the pleasure of meeting you both. It would be a great opportunity for everyone to get acquainted.”
“Then I’ll leave the arrangements to you,” Zhou Ying said. “As for the meal, how about a hotpot? It’s a perfect way to warm up on a cold evening.”
“Noted on that,” Zhao Cheng acknowledged before returning to the kitchen to handle the preparations.
Everyone then made their way back to the front, with Zhao Cheng giving a brief nod before disappearing into the kitchen.
Later, Zhou Ying accompanied Guoguo to the restrooms. Upon their return, the group enjoyed a warm and satisfying meal together.
Following the meal, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui settled the bill, and the group set off for their village, but not before making arrangements for Lin Yitian and the others to stay in a manor.
