Xie Jingrun glanced at her indifferently and went upstairs.
Rong Qingqing took the menu and a pot of tea, and followed him upstairs to the second floor.
Before entering the private room, Xie Jingrun paused slightly, turned his head to look at her, and said, "You'd better be careful about what you say and what you don't say later."
When Rong Qingqing heard this, she looked up and saw that Xie Jingrun had already entered the private room, leaving her with only his back.
It seems that the person inside is indeed the current emperor.
She mustered all her strength and went inside.
When they entered, Emperor Zhaojing was already seated by the window, with Xie Jingrun to his left.
Rong Qingqing stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for the two of them. Then she placed the menu in front of them, pointed to the first two dishes, and introduced them: "If you can handle spicy food, this boiled live fish is quite good. It's a new dish in our restaurant, and you can try it. If you can't handle spicy food, this steamed pork with rice flour is also good."
Emperor Zhaojing picked up the menu, looked it over, and asked, "What is this?"
"This is the menu." Rong Qingqing paused, then added, "I came up with this in my spare time to make it easier for customers to order." In the morning, when Manager Xu went out to find someone to make a signboard, she was bored, so she wrote down all the dishes in the restaurant on paper and made it into a menu. Although it is not quite the same as a modern menu, it is sufficient.
When Manager Xu saw the menu, he praised it highly.
Customers who come to a restaurant usually ask the waiter what dishes are available. Sometimes the restaurant is too busy and the waiters can't leave. At this time, having a menu is very useful. Just hand it to the customer, let them choose, and then call the waiter. This saves a lot of trouble.
However, she didn't have much time in the morning and only wrote one copy. She had already agreed with Manager Xu that she would write several more copies for him when she got back in the evening.
However, this was thanks to the original owner of the body. Fortunately, under the guidance and supervision of Madam Rong, the original owner had practiced calligraphy and had a decent handwriting.
Otherwise, someone who has never practiced calligraphy would never dare to make a fool of herself.
After hearing about the purpose of the menu, Emperor Zhaojing praised, "Your method is quite good, and your handwriting is also quite good."
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sir," Rong Qingqing said modestly, but she keenly noticed Xie Jingrun's gaze on her.
She looked up, but only saw him looking down as he drank his tea.
Was she mistaken? Xie Jingrun wasn't looking at her at all?
When Emperor Zhaojing heard her call him "Uncle," he found it novel. In all his years, this was the first time he had ever heard someone address him like that. He became even more amiable and pointed to the dishes on the menu, asking with interest, "Is this boiled live fish the thing painted on that shelf outside?"
thing?
Rong Qingqing replied, "That's exactly it."
Emperor Zhaojing smiled and said to Xie Jingrun, "This girl is quite interesting. You have good taste."
Rong Qingqing: "..." What does it have to do with whether she has feelings for him or not, or whether Xie Jingrun has good taste?
Xie Jingrun frowned and said with utter disdain, "I'm not blind. I don't fancy her."
Emperor Zhaojing was taken aback. "What are you saying, boy? That's enough. Be careful not to drive the girl away."
Rong Qingqing really wanted to slap the menu in her hand on Xie Jingrun's head.
Even if he weren't blind, no girl would ever be interested in him in his entire life.
What kind of character is that?
Does she like him?
