At this time, the waiter came up with a wooden tray and presented a plate of cakes. "My two guests, today is the Lantern Festival. This plate of moon cakes is a gift from our restaurant for you. Please accept it."
"Thank you." Xu Jiang picked up a piece of mooncake and took a bite. It was filled with red bean paste. "Sweet but not greasy. Delicious."
The waiter smiled and said, "This is unique to our restaurant. You can't find it anywhere else."
Xu Jiang pushed the plate in front of Lou Yunchun and asked him to taste it. Lou Yunchun couldn't stop after taking a taste and ate half of it.
"If you like it, I can make you an extra portion so you can take it home."
Lou Yunchun did not refuse, "Thank you."
The waiter left, and after a while, faint sounds of arguing were heard outside.
Xu Jiang recognized that one of them was the waiter from before.
He lowered his voice, his tone full of disgust, "What bad luck! Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you not to come to me again?"
Another person begged, "For the sake of being from the same hometown, please help me one last time and lend me some money. I will take the imperial examination soon. When I pass, I will repay you tenfold."
"I don't have any money." The waiter sneered, "You're still in high school? Stop daydreaming. How many times have you taken the exam? Hurry up and leave! Can't you see I'm busy?"
"Just this once, the last time." the man said anxiously.
"Have you said that?" the waiter said impatiently.
The two of them were arguing endlessly. The more Xu Jiang listened, the more she felt that the other voice sounded familiar, so she lifted the curtain to see, and was shocked when she saw it.
It’s Feng Miao?
The waiter saw Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun sticking their heads out to look, and thinking that they were getting impatient, he pushed away Feng Miao who was pulling him.
"Hurry up and go, don't you see the guests are waiting?"
Unexpectedly, this push pushed Feng Miao down the stairs. The waiter was startled and rushed over to rescue him, but he was a step too late.
Feng Miao rolled down the stairs and fell at the corner of the second floor.
His fall caused a burst of screams.
The waiter was dumbfounded. After he came to his senses, he quickly ran down to check, making sure that the man didn't fall and get hurt.
Seeing this, Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun also hurriedly stood up and walked over.
Many people gathered upstairs and downstairs to watch the excitement. Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun squeezed into the crowd and saw the waiter helping Feng Miao up and asked if he was hurt.
Feng Miao covered his legs and cried out a few times.
A customer shouted, "It looks like his leg is injured. Go to the doctor immediately."
Many people echoed, "Yeah, it looks like he fell pretty hard."
The waiter had no choice but to consider himself unlucky and wanted to send Feng Miao to the clinic.
Feng Miao staggered to his feet, then straightened his clothes, raised his hand and saluted everyone, saying, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself." Then he turned to the waiter and said, "I'm sorry to keep you away. I can go by myself."
As he said this, he held onto the stairs and tried to go down.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, and since they were from the same hometown, the waiter couldn't really just leave it alone. "You don't have any money, why are you showing off?"
He took out a purse from his bosom and stuffed it into Feng Miao's hand, then called a doorman and told him to help Feng Miao find a doctor.
Feng Miao thanked him twice and was then helped downstairs by the doorman.
When everyone saw that the matter was settled, they all returned to their respective positions.
Seeing Lou Yunchun and Xu Jiang still waiting, the waiter quickly put on a smile and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go make you some snacks."
Lou Yunchun said, "No need."
The waiter sighed, "Then you two can go with me to pay the bill."
The three of them went downstairs and came to the place where Feng Miao fell. Lou Yunchun called out to the waiter, "Waiter, please stay."
The waiter turned around and asked, "Sir, do you have any instructions?"
Lou Yunchun said, "Do you know that the man just now fell down on purpose?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I know."
