Half an hour later, Liu Jingze, rested, drove back to Yanpu Town, Zongxiao City. By the time the four of them arrived at Siqi Farm, it was already past six. Siqi Farm was packed with people, with almost no empty tables. Several waiters greeted Liu Jingze, "Hello, Mr. Liu," as they saw him. Numerous customers' eyes were fixed on them.

Liu Jingze said, "Where's Manager Feng? Never mind, I'll call her." After Liu Jingze finished his call, he led the three of them to the lobby of the rustic courtyard. They sat down at a table by the window, which could seat about six to eight people. A sign in the center read "No. 18" on one side and "Reserved" on the other. "Since there were only four of us," Liu Jingze said, "I asked her to reserve a small table instead of a private room. It was a bit noisy, but the view from here is nice. Just wait a minute, the food will be served soon." A waiter quickly brought tableware, a teapot, and a plate of cherry tomatoes.

Su Zhihao poured tea for everyone. Su Tiantian and Li Yunling looked out the window. The scenery was indeed nice. This courtyard was mainly in a pastoral style, and it gave a warm feeling.

Liu Jingze said, "Tiantian, when we were visiting the ecological farm this afternoon, didn't you say you wanted to eat cherry tomatoes? These are grown at Siqi Farm. Try them and see if you like them."

Su Tiantian was a little touched: "Brother Jing, I just said it casually at the time, and you asked someone to prepare it."

Liu Jingze looked at Su Tiantian lovingly and said, "I take everything you said to heart."

When the waiter brought the dishes one after another, Li Yunling saw the banana bud and chicken porridge steaming in the clay pot. She was really envious: "Sister Tiantian, Brother Jing has already ordered the banana bud and chicken porridge you mentioned this morning."

The waiter said, "There's no banana bud and chicken congee on the farm's menu. Mr. Liu specifically asked the chef to make this."

Liu Jingze filled a bowl of porridge about 80% full for Su Tiantian, placed it in front of her and said, "Try it and see if it tastes very different from what you had as a child. If you don't like it, I'll try to improve it."

Su Tiantian said: "Thank you, Brother Jing."

Su Zhihao said, "Brother Jing is so thoughtful." He also filled a bowl of porridge for Li Yunling.

Liu Jingze said, "See if these dishes are enough. If not, order more."

Su Tiantian looked at the table. There were six dishes on the table, including vegetables and meat. The dishes were rich and varied. The porridge in the clay pot was also quite large. She said, "That's enough. There are so many dishes. The four of us can't finish them all."

Li Yunling said, "There are roasted spareribs. The three of us like them." She put on transparent gloves, picked up a sparerib and started eating. The roasted spareribs here are quite large pieces. Eating them like this is a bit bold and not very polite, but people who order this dish usually eat it like this.

Liu Jingze picked up a piece of beef for Su Tiantian and asked, "Would you like any drinks? Here are some good homemade juices."

Su Zhihao asked: "What kind of juice is there?"

Liu Jingze asked the waiter to bring over a menu: "If you want to eat anything from the dishes listed above, I can have it delivered. The juices are also listed on the menu, and they are all made from fresh fruits."

Su Tiantian said: "No, Brother Jing, we will feel embarrassed if you do this. Also, you don't have to take care of me, just eat quickly."

Li Yunling wanted a pot of apple juice, so she asked, "Brother Jing, do you want apple juice?" Liu Jingze nodded and ordered a pot of apple juice.

At this time, I heard a quarrel between two tables. A middle-aged male customer who was a little fat and wearing a big gold chain spoke loudly: "This is how you treat your customers, why can their table order banana bud and shredded chicken porridge?" He slammed the table as he spoke.

The waitress in work clothes explained anxiously: "Sorry, this is specially made, it's not on the menu."

Sitting next to the middle-aged man was a middle-aged woman with thick black wavy hair and fiery red lips. She spoke with anger: "They can make special arrangements for their table, but not for ours? Don't we have money?"

Another waitress said, "That's not true. It's just that this banana bud and chicken porridge is made to order."

The middle-aged man was also furious: "Call your manager out. How do you do business? Do you look down on us?"

Sitting at the same table was a girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. She seemed frightened and stared at everyone with wide eyes.

Liu Jingze stood up, walked quickly to the table and said, "I am the general manager here. Please don't be angry. If you have anything to say, just talk slowly." Su Tiantian was worried and followed Liu Jingze.

The two were a little surprised to see Liu Jingze appear so quickly and asked, "Are you really the general manager here?" The middle-aged woman whispered, "Is the general manager that young?" The two waitresses, as if they had seen a savior, called out in a slightly louder voice, "Hello, Mr. Liu."

Liu Jingze said with a smile, "I'm really sorry. My girlfriend wanted to have banana bud and chicken congee this morning, so I asked the kitchen to make a clay pot of it. I don't know if both of you like it."

The middle-aged man said, "My family also likes to eat banana bud and shredded chicken porridge."

Liu Jingze said, "Because this porridge requires fresh banana buds, I'm sorry I didn't include it on the regular menu. As an apology, I'd like to give you a 20% discount on this meal. Is that okay with you?"

Seeing Liu Jingze's sincerity, the middle-aged woman felt embarrassed to continue pestering him and pulled the middle-aged man's arm. The middle-aged man said, "That's fine, but that banana bud and shredded chicken porridge is really delicious. Your chef's cooking skills are really good."

Liu Jingze took their bill, wrote a line on it, and then said: "Thank you for your support. When you pay later, the cashier will give you a 20% discount. I will also give you a fruit plate. I wish you a pleasant meal." The customers were satisfied after hearing this, and he was willing to give them a 20% discount and a fruit plate.

Liu Jingze instructed the waiter and took Su Tiantian back to the table by the window. He then leaned his head close to her and whispered, "Tiantian, next time something like this happens, you don't have to follow me. I'm afraid I might hurt you." Su Tiantian felt the warmth on her shoulder. Liu Jingze's low voice was almost touching her ear. She felt a little hot, and calmed herself down and said, "I'm worried about you. Besides, won't you protect me?" Liu Jingze smiled and said, "I'm okay with fighting, but in business, peace is the key."

Seeing the two getting along like this, Su Zhihao and Li Yunling felt that their relationship was really progressing by leaps and bounds. As two light bulbs, they should eat more dishes. Well, the roasted spareribs are delicious, the beef with bitter melon is not bad, and the sausage with beans is not bad either.

Elsewhere, the girl, who looked about thirteen or fourteen, ate the dragon fruit from the waiter's freshly brought platter, saying, "That brother and sister are so sweet." The middle-aged woman, a little embarrassed, said, "So that banana bud and chicken porridge was specially ordered by the general manager for his girlfriend. How romantic and thoughtful." The middle-aged man said unconvincedly, "Am I not romantic? If I hadn't wanted to make you banana bud and chicken porridge, would I have to argue like this?" The middle-aged woman quickly comforted him, saying, "Yes, my husband is also romantic and thoughtful."

At this time, all four of them heard a man calling, Tiantian, is that you?
