"How could I let you treat me, Mr. Sun? If all restaurant owners were this generous, that wouldn't do."
Fu Wan said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, that she couldn't be greedy for such a small advantage since the restaurant had just opened.
However, Sun Youjin wouldn't listen and just turned to smile at them.
"Hey, Comrade Fu, don't argue with me about this. There's still work to do in the kitchen. You guys sit here and try my restaurant's chef's cooking later. If you have any suggestions, remember to let me know!"
After saying that, he waved goodbye, then considerately closed the door and left.
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the private room, Fu Ming put away his smile and asked Fu Wan impatiently, "Wan, are you really not planning to open a restaurant?"
Look at that restaurant, it's so grand!
If Sun Youjin had invited him, he would have agreed immediately!
Fu Wan rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this, "If I open a restaurant, will you help me keep an eye on it?"
"Me? I can't, I'm too busy. I have to go out to sea and keep an eye on the cannery for you..."
"That's it. Besides, even if I were to open a restaurant, I wouldn't need to open one with someone else."
She and Sun Youjin were at most just business friends. If she opened a restaurant with him, her own fish would definitely be sourced from here.
In this case, it's not a big deal that the accounts are hard to settle; the real problem is that if things go wrong over time, you might lose a friend.
Moreover, as far as she knows, there are now five or six decent seafood restaurants in this county, not including the smaller ones. To put it more professionally, the restaurant market is already saturated; otherwise, state-owned restaurants wouldn't have been eliminated.
If she were to invest in the catering industry, Fu Wan would be interested in agritourism.
On the one hand, agritourism has a promising future. People who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city want to return to the countryside to find themselves.
On the other hand, agritainment can drive the economic development of the entire Fujia Village and even the entire town, which is also a way for Fu Wan to help everyone get rich.
Fu Wan didn't go into detail about these things, only giving a general outline of the plan.
However, Fu Liang and Fu Ming listened with sparkling eyes, eager to open their agritainment business as soon as they got back.
As they were talking, the dishes began to be served one after another.
Fu Wan glanced at him and thought, "Hey, Sun Youjin is really generous; all the dishes he served were expensive and substantial."
Steamed grouper, stewed mullet with tofu, salt-baked whelks, and garlic lobster.
Jiang Chunlan and Ye Xiaocui were so surprised by the dishes that their mouths were practically agape.
"Ah Wan, tell them not to bring any more food, this is enough!"
Good heavens, both grouper and lobster, how much money must this cost!
A meal must cost at least ten yuan, right?
Restaurants need to make money too, so it's normal for them to charge three or four times the price. So, their meal cost them fifty or sixty yuan.
A single meal cost them more than half a year's wages. When they calculated this, Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan couldn't help but feel worried.
Since we ate this meal today, Awan will have to repay the favor in the future!
Fu Wan knew exactly what they were thinking. "Mother, Aunt, don't worry, I'll go out and take a look."
"Everyone, please eat first. The food has already been served; it would be a waste if you didn't eat it!"
That makes sense. Ye Xiaocui and the others couldn't stand wasting food, so they quickly picked up their chopsticks.
Fu Wan pushed open the door of the private room and went out. The restaurant lobby was doing good business, probably because there were discounts for the first day of opening, and it was basically full of customers.
As soon as Fu Wan came out of the private room, the waiter next to her quickly went to greet her.
They all saw it just now; the boss personally entertained these distinguished guests, so we can't be negligent.
"Comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh, I wanted to come out and take a look at the menu in our private room. Mr. Sun didn't order many dishes, did he?"
"Do you have any drinks here? Could you give me two bottles?"
"drinks?"
The waiter seemed a little confused, so Fu Wan quickly explained, "It's just soft drink!"
"Oh, yes, we have some!"
After saying that, the waiter led her to the counter where she had entered. Sun Youjin was indeed a boss from Beijing; he had even set up a wine cabinet.
"We have Coke and Arctic Ocean soda, which one do you want, comrade?"
Fu Wan thought for a moment. The children were all here today, and Fu Liang and Fu Ming weren't picky eaters.
But when Qin Anning bought Coke last time, Ye Xiaocui didn't like the taste.
"Give me both, the large Coke and six small Beibingyang soda bottles."
"And show me the order for our private room."
After Fu Wan finished speaking, the waitress hesitated for a moment, then handed the Coke to Fu Wan and said somewhat apologetically, "Comrade, the dishes in your private room were all prepared by the kitchen directly at the behest of our boss."
Therefore, there are no orders.
Would you like to order anything else?
"Add more dishes? No, no."
Fu Wan waved her hand, thought for a moment, and simply said, "Then could you please help me calculate the total cost of that table later? I'll come out and pay the bill later."
To everyone's surprise, the waiter shook his head vigorously, just like a rattle-drum.
"Comrade, our boss instructed that none of us can accept this money."
Please don't make things difficult for us, just enjoy your meal! I'll open the Arctic Ocean can for you and bring it in later.
Fu Wan was also helpless after hearing this, and could only take the cola back to the private room.
Upon seeing Fu Wan return, Ye Xiaocui hurriedly greeted her daughter.
"How about it? Oh dear, why did you buy this weird water again?"
"I've already spoken to the comrades outside, so you can eat without worry!"
Fu Wan made a casual excuse and handed the cola to Fu Ming, who was already waiting impatiently beside her.
She sat down and realized that no one had touched their chopsticks much; they were waiting for her!
Moreover, two more dishes appeared on the table: a bowl of braised beef and a bowl of cabbage stew with vermicelli.
The dishes were all very good, and the aroma was enticing; Fu Wan was also getting a little hungry.
"Never mind that, let's eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Fu Wan greeted them and then picked up a piece of lobster meat with her chopsticks for Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu.
Ye Xiaocui picked up her chopsticks, about to ask Fu Wan about the outcome of her trip, when the waiter brought in the Arctic Ocean soda again.
"Oh dear, please don't bring any more food. We can't possibly finish all of this!"
A waiter followed behind the waiter, serving abalone and chicken soup.
The umami flavor of abalone and the aroma of chicken intertwined, instantly stunning everyone present.
"Comrade, don't bring any more food. This is enough."
The waiter hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll bring you some more rice. Please let me know if you need anything else."
After the waiters left, everyone buried themselves in their food.
The dishes were already served, and it would be a waste not to eat them. Besides, the chef's cooking was really good. Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan had no choice but to put aside their reluctance and join in enjoying the food.
