Chapter 198 Zhou Dajiang is willing to accept defeat, a good place to relax
After hearing what Qi said, Chen Xiuying also glanced into the lobby and found that it was indeed full.
However, she still had a cheerful smile on her face and joked with Qi: "The first floor is full, and there's still the second floor. Please, please, please. I must earn your money today."
After she finished speaking, the others started laughing as well. Entering the lobby, everyone wanted to go to the front desk to order, but Chen Xiuying stopped them, saying, "Go directly to the second floor. There are people serving you there."
The group obeyed and went to the second floor.
As soon as I went upstairs, I found that Zhou Dajiang and a servant were sitting by the stairs. Each of them was holding a comic book and reading it with great interest.
When Zhou Dajiang saw everyone coming up, he, like Chen Xiuying, immediately stepped forward and said the waiter's words, "Welcome! Ladies and gentlemen, please come in!"
His action stunned all the female relatives. Fang even turned around and asked Chen Xiuying, "What's wrong with my brother-in-law?"
Chen Xiuying couldn't help laughing and explained, "Before the opening, he told me that there wouldn't be so many people today and the second floor wouldn't be used.
I didn't believe it, and said, "What if there are too many people?" He made a bet with me, saying that he would wait on the second floor, and if the place was full, he would be my waiter for a day, serving the people upstairs!
After hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Dajiang, apparently accepting defeat.
"That's right!" I don't know who said it first, which made everyone laugh.
Zhou Dajiang knew that everyone was making fun of him, but he didn't get angry. He seriously played the role of a waiter and led everyone to a private room by the window.
When everyone went in and took a look, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Mrs. Zhou, your decoration is so beautiful and so warm!" said Cui Xiaotang's mother, Cui.
There was a white curtain hanging by the window, light green wallpaper on the wall, and a long row of soft chairs against the west wall. The chairs were also covered with light green cloth and were soft to sit on. There were cushions on the back, which were nice to lean against.
Opposite the soft chairs was a row of bookshelves with many comics on them. Qi Xinrui went up to take a look and saw that the comics were all created by the same person, "Little Red Riding Hood."
There is a long coffee table between the bookshelf and the soft chair. The coffee table is as high as the soft chair, and there is a vase of unknown wild flowers on it.
It was summer at the time, and the windows were open. A gentle breeze blew in, causing the curtains to sway gently in the wind, and the small flowers on the coffee table also shook their heads, making people feel inexplicably warm.
Although the room was not big, it could easily accommodate six or seven of them.
After everyone was seated, Zhou Dajiang came over with the menu to order.
Still in the waiter's tone, he asked, "Dear guests, here is the menu. Please take a look. What would you like to order?"
Fang took the menu and placed it in the middle of the coffee table for everyone to see. It had simple sketches of the various dishes and a description. Several people looked at it and praised it, saying, "This menu is so exquisite!" Fang was also proud of it. "This must have been drawn by my daughter-in-law, Sisi."
After looking at the menu, several people did the same as the first customer. Since they had never eaten there before, they all ordered one.
Zhou Dajiang, still acting like a waiter, took out a menu and began scribbling on it. When he was finished, he asked, just like Chen Xiuying, "Dear guests, what would you like to drink?"
This time, no one ordered everything. Fang and Qi wanted to drink tea, and the rest of the people listened to Chen Xiuying and each ordered a cup of Tao Zhi Yao Yao.
Cui was curious and asked Chen Xiuying, "What is your name Tao Zhi Yao Yao? It sounds pretty nice."
Chen Xiuying explained with a smile: "I just picked the name randomly. Tao Zhi Yao Yao is a milk tea made with fresh peach pulp, milk and tea. It contains not only pulp, but also peach jelly, ice cubes and milk cap, with a little honey. It tastes sweet and delicious, and is most suitable for drinking in summer." The female relatives showed some anticipation when they heard it.
After Zhou Dajiang finished writing down the menu, he went downstairs to order. Seeing this, Sun Dashan also went downstairs with him to serve the food.
At this time, the women sitting on the soft chairs began to look through the comics on the bookshelf next to the coffee table. They discussed the plot in a low voice while reading, and burst into laughter from time to time.
Not long after, Zhou Dajiang and the waiter arrived with trays. They carefully placed drinks in front of everyone, then placed steaming hot snacks on the table one by one. The aroma of fried food instantly filled the entire room.
Then he placed the hamburgers, vegetable pancakes, sandwiches, egg tarts and cream cakes that everyone had ordered on the table. He still spoke in the waiter's tone, softly saying, "Sir, please enjoy your meal." Then he and Sun Dashan left the room.
Seeing Zhou Dajiang like this, Qi couldn't help but give Chen Xiuying a thumbs-up. "You're amazing! Your husband is willing to accept defeat. If it were my husband, he would have shamelessly taken the opportunity to run away."
Cui also agreed, "That's right, the one in my family won't have that chance, that day will never come..."
A simple dinner party instantly turned into a tea party for the ladies. In this cozy private room, several people enjoyed the food and chatted, with laughter and joy filling the air.
Song Tingwan, Qi Xinrui and Cui Xiaotang did not participate in the conversation. Instead, they each held a comic book, leaned on the pillow and enjoyed this leisure time.
Song Tingwan was a hedonist. She leaned against the pillow, looked at the blue sky outside, and said with a smile: "Aunt, you are so relaxed here, I don't even want to leave."
Qi Xinrui and Cui Xiaotang nodded vigorously. There was food, drinks, and things to see here. The soft chairs were nice to sit on, and if you were alone, you'd probably find it even better to lie down. It was truly a great place to relax, get together, and unwind.
The ladies chatted for a long time before paying their bills and leaving. Fang took Chen Xiuying's hand and said, "Today is full of surprises. I will definitely come here often in the future." The others nodded in agreement.
Chen Xiuying also smiled and nodded, inviting, "You are welcome to come often!"
After everyone left, Zhou Dajiang slumped in his chair, exhausted. Chen Xiuying teased him, "You did well today. Looks like you can keep it up next time. Find someone else to chat and bet with." Zhou Dajiang snorted, but his face was full of smiles. Then the couple smiled at each other and began to clean up, looking forward to the next group of guests.
