Chapter 397
"Who says it's not the case? That's why Mr. Xiao has always been very popular, and those students admire him even more. However, there are many people from poor families who have benefited from him a lot!" said the waiter.

"That's it." Uncle Xu said.

Soon, several people were brought to an empty table and sat down.

"Guests, what would you like to eat?" the waiter immediately took the menu from the waiter next to him and put it on the table.

"We have just come here and are not familiar with many of them. Just tell us a few of your store's specialties." Uncle Xu said.

"Well, sir, you have come to the right place. Our Fuyun Restaurant's dishes are praised by the high-ranking officials in the capital after they taste them. It will satisfy a few of our guests," the waiter said, patting his chest.

"It seems that officials often come to our restaurant to eat. I think the food must be good." Uncle Xu said.

The waiter touched the back of his head and smiled, and when he was about to say something, a voice came.

"Shunzi, are you done with your work?"

When his name was suddenly called, the waiter looked back and saw the shopkeeper standing behind him, glaring at him, so he immediately said sheepishly: "Yes, yes, shopkeeper, I'm going to serve the guests." .”

After saying that, he ran towards the kitchen non-stop, as if he was afraid that the shopkeeper would scold him if he ran too slow.

"Several guests, the guys are still young, and they are talking arrogantly. It's just that in Tianyou City, adults from the capital often pass by on errands and stop to have a meal. They will come to my Fuyun Restaurant to try something new. Our restaurant also has such delicious dishes. Yes, it just suits the taste of those adults. You must know that the restaurants in the capital are much more luxurious than my Fuyun Restaurant. How dare you say that others come here because of its reputation? Please don't take what the waiter just said to heart. "

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Qibao thought that the shopkeeper was really humble and prudent, but she heard another meaning. The shopkeeper just said that Fuyun Restaurant was not as luxurious as those restaurants in the capital, but he did not say that his own restaurant was not as luxurious as those in the capital. The food tastes worse than theirs.

Uncle Xu smiled and nodded. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he hugged his fists politely and turned back to the counter. He raised his eyes and glanced at Qibao and his group again, then lowered his head to cover the abacus in his hand.

Putting aside everything else, the food served at Fuyun Restaurant was quite fast. The few of us only waited for about a quarter of an hour, and the waiter had already brought the arranged dishes to the table one by one.

Seeing the steaming food on the table, Xiao Wu swallowed his saliva and couldn't wait to taste it, but Uncle Xu, the only elder, hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, so he couldn't eat first.

Uncle Xu saw this and said: "This is not at home. There are not so many rules. Eat when you are hungry."

After hearing this, Xiao Wu smiled, picked up the chopsticks, stretched out towards the lion's head on the table, and couldn't wait to open his mouth and take a bite.

"Well···"

Xiaowu raised his eyebrows and chewed quickly.

Qibao felt funny when she saw Fifth Brother's tongue constantly flying up and down. She knew that this was not because the lion head was a delicacy in the world, but because it burned the mouth. If the mouth didn't move, it would cause bubbles. Come, so he put a cup of warm tea in front of Fifth Brother.

Xiao Wu immediately picked it up and put it into his mouth. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he said: "Thank you sister, but this lion's head tastes really good. Although it is not as good as the taste of food at home, it can be eaten outside." It’s not bad, sister, you should try it too.”

After saying that, he took one and blew on it before putting it into Qibao's bowl.

Everyone also started to move their chopsticks and began to eat. For a while, there was only the sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks on the table.

After everyone had eaten for a while, Uncle Xu looked at the food left on the table. When he saw that none of the children could eat, he drank a cup of tea to suppress the food in his stomach and free up some space, in order not to waste it. Following the principle, he ate the rest and then wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

He is a farmer through and through, and he knows that food is hard to come by, and only by eating it can he be worthy of the sweat shed by the farmers.

"It's really not bad, and the sauce duck tastes better and better the more you eat it. No wonder the waiter said that, and it's not a lie." Uncle Xu said, touching his bloated belly. "It's indeed good." Xu Wenwu also said with a slight smile.

"It's better to have hot food until your stomach feels better. No, I have to get up and take a walk to eat." Xiao Wu said.

Everyone had this intention and called the waiter to prepare the check.

The waiter who received them saw Uncle Xu waving to him, so he came to Uncle Xu with a smile and said, "Are the guests satisfied with the food in our restaurant?"

Uncle Xu said: "The taste is really rare, my stomach is full after eating it."

The waiter glanced at the plates on the table and saw that they were all empty. The smile on his face became even wider, and he felt very proud in his heart. He said, "As long as your distinguished guest is satisfied."

Uncle Xu asked: "How much does this table cost?"

The waiter smiled and said, "A few of the guests asked the counter to pay."

The Xu family followed the waiter to the counter. When the shopkeeper saw a few people, he immediately said with a smile: "How many distinguished guests are you satisfied with?"

Uncle Xu said: "As this young man said, the taste is really good. How much money does it cost, please?"

The shopkeeper took the bill, fiddled with the abacus for a while, and then said with a smile: "It's a total of four taels and twenty cents, so I'll give you a small change, four taels of silver."

Uncle Xu secretly sighed in his heart, this meal only cost four taels of silver. Sure enough, the more prosperous the place, the cheaper the prices.

With this thought in his mind, his face did not show any signs of expression. He counted four taels of silver from his wallet and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the money, glanced at Qibao and the others behind Uncle Xu a few times, and praised, "You must have brought your children to Beijing to take the exam, right?"

Uncle Xu said in surprise: "How did the shopkeeper know?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "I think Mr. Ling's appearance and temperament should be that of a scholar. Although the weather in February is not as cold as in the first month, it is still cold in the mountains and cold water. We are on our way at this time. I guess It’s also related to this year’s scientific examination.”

Uncle Xu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is indeed very sharp, which is really admirable!"

The shopkeeper shook his head and waved his hands and said: "No, no, that's a compliment. It's just that Yuan has been doing this business for twenty years. He has seen too many people of all kinds. As time goes by, he naturally gets a little more wink. He shouldn't be praised like this." "

Uncle Xu said: "The shopkeeper is humbled. I won't delay the shopkeeper's work. It's getting late now."

The shopkeeper walked out from the counter and sent Uncle Xu and others to the door. After they were far away, he touched his short beard and turned back.

Seeing this, the waiter asked curiously: "Why does the shopkeeper treat each other so differently? They are just passing by here, and maybe they won't meet again in the future."

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head and said: "You are still young, and you still need to practice in many places. Do you see how the temperament of those two young masters is different from ordinary people?"

The waiter scratched the back of his head and chuckled: "It is indeed different from ordinary people, but I can't tell what is different."
