“Boss, we have arrived . ” The driver interrupted them softly .
Lin Zhihua nodded and then looked towards Xue Jiao: “Let’s get off and go eat . ”
As he said this, he pulled open the car door . Xue Jiao also hurriedly opened it .
It was a very low-key shop, on the corner of an alley . When the car brought them to the door, it had to turn right to leave——after all, there was no parking outside the store .
The name of the restaurant was a little strange . Xue Jiao looked up at the four words——Carefree Family .
There are two white glazed lamps on both sides of the plaque . Xue Jiao doesn’t understand these things very well, and only feels that it looks very ‘expensive’ .
Walking in with Lin Zhihua, Xue Jiao was really surprised .
Although the outside door does not seem simple, it was not unimaginable . The inside is the part that was really shocking!
Such a small door, such a small alley, as a result, when the door opens, a Suzhou garden can be seen .
Rockery, clear water, groups of swimming fish .
Over there……is that a crane?
Lin Zhihua took her along the stone path that led inside, and passed a veranda before finally seeing a figure .
The person looked very young, wore an apron and smiled . She said, “Guest, we don’t accept individual customers in our store . Have you made an appointment?”
“Xiao Wang, he doesn’t have to make an appointment!” A gentle-looking woman came out .
Xue Jiao’s eyes brightened .
This person is like a woman in the garden amongst the water . When she smiles her eyes become like waves .
“Zhihua, Xiao Wang has just come . Kui Ma is not well, so we hired another person . ” That woman said .
“What’s wrong with Kui Ma?” Lin Zhihua was slightly surprised .
“Old problem, it’s fine . You guys can sit down first . What do you want to eat?” She said, as her sight moved behind Lin Zhihua . She was slightly surprised to see Xue Jiao, and then she gazed at her young appearance……
“Is this your niece?”
Lin Zhihua: “……”
“Your words are still so disagreeable . ”
The woman only smiled, her face beautiful to the extreme .
“Let’s order some classic dishes . Let’s go and sit first . ”
Lin Zhihua finished speaking and looked at Xue Jiao . His eyes became obviously softer: “Let’s go, and head in . ”
He seemed to be very familiar with this place . He led Xue Jiao directly towards a small round door at the innermost part, which said “expensive” on top .
Original translation is from bobateatranslation dot com . If you’re reading this elsewhere, this chapter has been stolen . Please stop supporting theft .
Entering the small round door, there was a garden . Through the garden, there was a classical door, and only by opening this door, can they see the table .
Xue Jiao sat down, and Lin Zhihua sat opposite of her .
The table doesn’t look big, so they’re not too far away .
There are a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room . Xue Jiao can’t understand whether they were legitimate or not, but she was still a little surprised .
“The calligraphy and paintings in here are all real . ” He pointed to the top, “Only that one is from the Qing Dynasty . The others are all from modern painters and calligraphers, so they’re not expensive . ”
Xue Jiao’s jaw almost fell . She subconsciously touched her backpack .
This, this, this……this, with the money she brought, could she even pay for a meal?
“What are you thinking about?” Lin Zhihua asked her .
Xue Jiao was embarrassed, but still told the truth: “I was thinking that in Beijing, where every inch of land is worth gold, to have such a large garden, and there are not even many rooms at all . Is the price affordable?”
“Puchi——” Lin Zhihua laughed . He seldom exposed a more obvious smile .
He slightly held his forehead, “You, this child, how can you be so honest?”
“The truth, the truth . ” Xue Jiao raised her hand .
Lin Zhihua said, “The boss here has some gratitude for me, so I am only charged for the original cost of the dinner here . ”
Xue Jiao’s line of sight looked out of the open window and saw a small garden full of flowers .
Obviously, this is the season for wintersweets . There were all kinds of appearances and colors .
“It’s a really good deal……” Xue Jiao continued saying honest words .
This place’s environment probably accounted for the biggest cost of this area . Only collecting the cost fee, coming to eat is money earned!
Lin Zhihua laughed again . At this time, the woman who had stopped before them came in and poured water for them and set up the tableware for them one by one .
Even the bowls and chopsticks are extremely small and delicate .
“Guests, please wait a moment, the boss said to cook your dishes first . It will be very fast . ”
With that, she left without any intention of disturbing .
She said that it was very soon, but it took a while for the dishes to come one after another .
“This much!” There were already five dishes in front of them, and there were only two of them . Xue Jiao was really scared that they wouldn’t be able to finish and would waste food .
“It’s not much . ” It was not Lin Zhihua who answered her question . It was the woman from the water . She came in with a dish in her hand and was smiling .
“The last dish, the Buddha jumps over the wall . Originally it was made for Kui Ma . We’lll just borrow the flowers for buddha, and use it to welcome our new friend . ” As she said this, she winked at Xue Jiao .
Xue Jiao is a little embarrassed, “No need……”
“It doesn’t matter . There are other dishes for other guests that haven’t been cooked yet . I’ll go first . ” Her sight turned to Lin Zhihua, “Zhihua, take good care of your child . ”
Then she twisted his body and walked away .
Child……
Xue Jiao was a little broken down .
