In fact, at this time, they had not yet received the money for making building blocks. If they really asked Brother Wang and Lin Yumei to treat them to a big meal, they would not be willing to spend it, and they did not have that much money on them.
Mrs. Ye's words gave them a good way out.
Lin Yumei immediately smiled and said, “This is the capital, we can’t afford to be extravagant even once!
"Let's just have a simple meal, mainly to express our gratitude as husband and wife."
Finally, after asking the waiter, Brother Wang chose a small restaurant close to Linglong Pavilion.
Mrs. Ye looked at the facade of the second-floor building, hesitant and not daring to go in.
“Will this place be expensive?”
"Mrs. You, don't worry. This place was recommended by the waiter at Linglong Pavilion. He said the food tastes good and the price is reasonable." Brother Wang smiled and invited people in.
Today was not a festival, so there were not many customers in the restaurant. Brother Wang gritted his teeth and spent an extra two hundred coins to get a private room.
Several people followed the waiter upstairs and sat down in a private room on the second floor.
After the waiter left, Mrs. Ye looked around and said, "This restaurant in the capital is really different. It looks even more upscale than the best restaurant in Fengle County!"
As she spoke, she suddenly lowered her voice nervously and said, "Please ask the price clearly, don't make any mistakes, okay?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we have found out everything." After hearing this, Lin Yumei felt that the people in the Ye family were indeed honest people.
Five people were having dinner, and to avoid waste, they ordered six dishes, three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, plus a large bowl of soup.
Because I had important things to do the next day, I didn't order any drinks.
Maybe because we ordered home-cooked dishes, the dishes were served quickly.
The guy closed the door for them to avoid being disturbed.
Ye Laosan chatted with them about making building blocks, while Ye Dasao concentrated on enjoying the food in the restaurant.
It has to be said that any restaurant that can continue to operate in the capital must have some skills.
The home-cooked dishes in this restaurant are indeed of a high standard.
"The food in this restaurant is really good." After trying every dish, Mrs. Ye commented with satisfaction.
Lin Yumei was immediately delighted when she heard this: "To receive such praise from Madam You, it seems I made the right choice of this place."
The meal was a great success for both host and guest. Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Lin Yumei stood up to pay the bill. However, the shopkeeper told her, "The meal in your room has already been paid for."
"Huh?" Lin Yumei was surprised. "Who paid? Was there a mistake?"
Brother Wang also said: "Yes, we have no relatives or friends in the capital, how can anyone help us pay?"
The waiter at the restaurant said, "Dear guests, we at the counter are only responsible for collecting money. As for who paid, we don't know."
Just when several people were full of doubts, a middle-aged man in his forties with a beard suddenly walked up to the side.
He spoke authentic Beijing dialect and said familiarly, "These two should be Master Ye and Master Wang, right?"
"Who are you?" Ye Lao San and Brother Wang looked at each other and found that the other party didn't know this person either.
"It doesn't matter who I am. I just admire your cooking skills. I happened to meet you here today, so I took the initiative to pay for your meal. Let's just consider ourselves friends."
But Ye Lao San and Brother Wang became alert after hearing this.
They were not famous in the capital, so who would know what kind of skills they had? How could they even be admired?
This person must be here for the building blocks.
The middle-aged man said this and wanted to invite the two of them into his private room.
"Hey, big brother, we appreciate your kindness, but it's better for us to pay for the meal ourselves."
"Hey, young man, don't be so impatient!" The middle-aged man hurriedly reached out to pull Ye Lao San's arm, "Come in and have a drink. It won't hurt to talk."
Ye Lao San shook off his arm and said, "How dare you snatch Linglong Pavilion's business? Don't you think too highly of the Qin family?"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man's face changed. He knew that these two people could not be won over by using such tricks.
He naturally didn't dare to confront the Qin family head-on, but he still didn't give up and said, "As long as you show me what the building blocks look like, I will give each of you ten taels of silver, how about it?
"If anyone can provide me with the blueprints for the building blocks and the box, I can guarantee to give him at least fifty taels of silver."
Brother Wang found it funny when he heard this. At this time, this person was still trying to alienate himself and Third Brother Ye, hoping to defeat them one by one!
"I'll pay you the price for this meal, and don't waste your time on us two.
"I already said it's a treat, why would I ask for money? We're just making friends!"
"If you don't tell us, then we'll just leave. Does that mean this meal is really your treat?"
The middle-aged man pretended to be generous at first, hoping that Ye Lao San and Brother Wang would betray the Qin family and join him.
Later, when he saw that several people were really preparing to leave, he became anxious and said quickly, "I spent a total of one tael and two cents of silver, and you..."
"Don't worry, we won't owe you any money!" Lin Yumei took out money from her purse and threw it on the table, then the five of them left.
The middle-aged man standing by the table, gritting his teeth, was still muttering in dissatisfaction, "I just can't believe it today. Is there really someone so loyal? They're just afraid of the power of the Qin Mansion."
"Once you miss this opportunity, you'll never find it again. Once I find a way to get the building blocks myself, I won't accept any money you bring to me."
