What? I got a space! And I know I'm about to traverse to the 70s!
Food blogger Bai Guoguo, who just returned after wandering around Harbin, unexpectedly obtains a space and learns she is ...
Bai Guoguo stayed at the Du Mansion for one night and returned to the mountaintop villa with his men early the next morning.
We passed by a tea restaurant called Longfeng Tea House and went up to have some morning tea.
Morning tea culture is a well-known culinary culture in the Greater Bay Area, and is particularly popular in Hong Kong.
Those who can afford to go to tea restaurants are generally people with relatively good incomes. Those with low incomes either have a bowl of noodles in the morning or some cheap food such as buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk.
Here, no matter they are community leaders, company bosses, or public officials, as long as they are not Westerners, most of them will come out for morning tea.
When Bai Guoguo stepped into the tea restaurant, it was already bustling with many customers.
Many people can while away half a day with a pot of tea, two baskets of dim sum and a newspaper.
These old uncles and grandpas sat together, gesticulating and speaking Cantonese or Teochew, chatting and talking about everything, it was very lively.
Bai Guoguo even saw several tables here where members of the society were dressed in colorful clothes and talking loudly.
"Sister Feng, it's so lively here!"
Bai Guoguo's hair was loose and fell to her waist, and she wore a pearl headband. She was wearing a Chanel skirt suit and a short-sleeved top tied with a wide leather belt, which showed off her slender waist.
She was wearing a pair of sheepskin boots, revealing two snow-white slender thighs, and she looked cool and sassy.
"I'm glad that Miss likes it. When we get home, I'll ask the chef to make some more for Miss to try. We have chefs who specialize in both traditional and casual cuisine, as well as Western cuisine." Sister Feng replied with her head down.
Today, Fengjie was also dressed in a western skirt, carrying a small bag with white ginkgo leaves in her hand, a briefcase in her arm, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her face, looking like a typical white-collar worker in the workplace.
The five bodyguards, including Lei Dalong, were wearing short-sleeved shirts and ties, with their exposed arms full of bulging muscles, and they were obviously martial artists.
The five men all had bulges around their waists, and it was obvious that they had hard stuff.
Led by Bai Guoguo, the group slowly walked into the teahouse, and the entire hall suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.
This group of people doesn't look like they are here to have morning tea in the teahouse. It's more like they are here to buy over the teahouse.
The gang members at those tables were even tense with vigilance, fearing that some powerful men might come out to do something.
The local Hong Kong gangs usually just cause trouble by killing friends and will not use guns easily. However, it is different for those fierce people who come from outside. They will actually use weapons.
Bai Guoguo and her group were all strangers. Even though she looked soft and sweet, she had developed an extraordinary aura after going through so many things.
In addition, the five men and one woman following behind her all looked like they were not easy to mess with. Even Sister Feng was cold and kept strangers away.
No wonder the entire Teahouse Town fell silent all of a sudden.
When the boss who was counting the money behind the counter saw this, he came out in a hurry, bowed in front of Bai Guoguo, and had a flattering smile on his face.
"Excuse me, young lady. I'm sorry to have such a good time. Would you like to have morning tea or do you have anything else to do?"
The boss was crying in his heart but half bent over with a smile on his face, just hoping that these people were not here to cause trouble.
"Boss, please arrange a private room for our young lady. Serve every dish once. Use this card!"
Fengjie took a half step forward and told the boss what to do, then she took out a credit card from her bag and put it in his hand.
The boss spoke Teochew. When Fengjie saw Bai Guoguo's confused look, she knew that her young lady couldn't understand what he was saying, so she simply made arrangements for her.
When the boss took the credit card, he realized that this was a big business. He ordered all the dishes and the bill would be tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.
The dishes in their teahouse range from abalone, shark's fin, and bird's nest to chicken, duck, fish and meat.
However, not everyone can afford the expensive ones. Today, some wealthy customers came, so of course I have to charge them a lot.
Add to that more than a dozen desserts, and if all of them were served, the total cost would be more than 40,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is enough to cover two days' turnover.
"Okay, okay, Miss, please come this way. There's a large private room upstairs. I'll show you the way."
The boss happily led his people upstairs, and the lobby downstairs became lively again.
"Holy crap! What's the origin of that chick just now? She's so grand and impressive, even more powerful than our boss?"
"There are only about 100 people in our club, and we don't even have any real weapons. How can we compare to that young lady just now? Her bodyguards all have weapons on their waists!"
"No way! They look unfamiliar. They might be from somewhere else. That girl is so pretty! If she were from this island, she would definitely be in the newspapers!"
"Damn it! Huang Mao, if you want to die, don't drag us into this. Are you trying to kill a fat sheep? Be careful, or we'll choke you to death!"
A group of gangsters at the table were whispering to each other and mumbling about something.
In Hong Kong, locals tend to bully and discriminate against outsiders, and this is especially true in social groups, which is why local gangs and big circle gangs fight fiercely.
The gangster leader named Huangmao just now obviously wanted to take advantage of Bai Guoguo, firstly for money and secondly for sex.
What good people can there be in a gang?
So when Huangmao saw that Baiguoguo and his group looked unfamiliar and had the demeanor of rich people, he wanted to make some money from them.
However, the other people sitting at the same table with him obviously didn't have such courage. The bodyguard didn't have any firewood sticks on his waist, just these little rascals would be shot before they even got close.
Didn’t you see that the middle-level leaders of He Liansheng at the next table didn’t dare to move?
If they could really get it, would it be the turn of these little shrimps to eat it?
They were still arguing in low voices, but eventually they stopped. The most important thing when you're out there is to survive. If you insist on charging at someone you know is stronger than you, you're courting death.
In the end, Huangmao reluctantly gave up the idea.
Bai Guoguo was unaware of the commotion that had quietly disappeared downstairs, and was still enjoying the food with everyone in the private room.
Not long after they sat down, the boss came in person with a long group of waiters to serve the dishes. Soon, a large round table that could seat more than ten people was filled with dishes.
There are such dishes as scallion-fried sea cucumber, braised abalone in black bean sauce, shark fin in golden soup, bird's nest in rock sugar, shrimp dumplings, steamed spare ribs, chicken feet in black bean sauce, steamed duck feet, custard buns, tassel buns, barbecued pork buns, siomai, flower rolls, glutinous rice chicken, Ruyi rolls, braised goose, gold thread rolls, silver thread rolls, osmanthus cake, rice rolls, double skin milk, ginger milk, glutinous rice dumplings, and so on.
Each person was also served a pot of Longjing tea.
"Miss, the dishes are almost served. If you don't have any other instructions, we'll go downstairs!"
The boss attentively poured Bai Guoguo a cup of tea. This was a big customer, and if he received good service and came more often, he would be happy.
"Okay, boss, you can go down. If anything happens, we will call someone!" said Fengjie.
The boss left two waiters at the door of the box, waiting to be called, and he went downstairs happily.
