120 Chapter 120 Restaurant
“You’re the owner here, so you must be more familiar with the menu than us. I think you should order,” said Zhou Ying.
“That’s true.” Young Master Zhou nodded his head and looked at the waiter. “Steamed yellow croaker, sea cucumber with scallion, four happiness meatballs, chrysanthemum tofu, stir-fried black fungus, sweet and sour radish shreds, and finally, a serving of duck soup.”
“What kind of wine would you like to drink, Brother Gu?” he asked.
“You can’t drink now.” Gu Chengrui replied seriously.
!!
Young Master Zhou’s expression immediately changed. He had forgotten that Gu Chengrui was a doctor. If he had remembered, he would not have asked. Now, he could not even drink a sip even if he wanted to. He finally waved his hand at the waiter.
“Please wait a moment.” The waiter politely told them and filled the teapot with hot water before leaving.
Young Master Zhou then said, “I’d like to apologize to you first. My identity was a little sensitive before, so I didn’t dare tell you the truth.
I’m General Zhou’s second son, Zhou Huaiming. I am here to transport grains this time, but I didn’t expect to be backstabbed by the people around me.”
“Are those grains really military rations?” Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
Young Master Zhou jokingly said, “Then I can’t bear this name for nothing. In the future, I hope I can eat for free in your restaurant.”
“Of course. Even if there were no such thing, we wouldn’t take your money anyway.”
“Then it’s settled.”
Suddenly, Zhou Ying thought of the Qiao family and the county governor, who had their houses confiscated. She looked at Young Master Zhou and asked, “Brother Zhou, are you going to sell all the manors and shops you have seized?”
“Yes, is there anything you want?”
“Since we plan to open a restaurant, we must have something to sell. I’m thinking of buying a small manor to grow some vegetables, raise some cattle and sheep, or something else to supply the restaurant.”
“I’ll go back and look into this matter, checking which manor is suitable.” Young Master Zhou nodded.
“Then I’ll have to thank Brother Zhou in advance. A manor worth less than two thousand taels of silver will do.”
“Alright, I’ll remember this.” Young Master Zhou affirmed.
Soon, the food was served. Zhou Ying tasted each dish carefully and found they were all well-made, except for the fatty oil inside the red braised pork. She only ate one piece and couldn’t eat anymore.
However, she didn’t have the heart to pick on it, so she thought of taking another time to mention it to Manager Liu.
