"Didn't you say last time that some braised pork restaurants are particularly delicious? But I don't even know which way the door of a state-owned restaurant opens..." Lin Guoqing was an adult, a rough man from the fields. Ye Juncai heard a tone of grievance in his words.
Ye Juncai's biggest weakness is probably that he is too soft-hearted. His father said that he can't accomplish anything big, but his mother said that he can't get into big trouble either.
Forget it, the farmers are simple and honest. If he doesn't eat this meal, he will get sick if he keeps thinking about it. So, go. At worst, he can just order some vegetarian dishes later.
Ye Juncai said he would ride his own bicycle and asked Lin Guoqing to put his cotton basket on the tricycle.
Lin Guoqing then remembered that Lao Liu was still waiting in the car for him to pick up his things. He quickly got on his tricycle and rushed out of the warehouse.
He actually had never ridden a tricycle before, but it was much easier to ride than a bicycle. It felt like he could just pedal with his feet. When Chunhua and his mother wanted to use it, they would definitely be able to learn it in seconds.
As expected, Old Liu was still waiting outside, waiting for Lin Guoqing to come and take away his pile of things before returning the car. He saw Lin Guoqing swaying on his tricycle and leaning his head out of the car window with a smile.
"Hey, got it?"
"Yeah! It's mine, haha!"
Lin Guoqing responded with a smile, then parked the tricycle next to the truck, got out and said to Lao Liu while moving things,
"Brother Liu, I'd like to invite you and Juncai to dinner. How about the braised pork from the state-owned canteen?"
Old Liu shook his head. "You two go! I won't go. I have to hurry home to cook. You don't know, my wife is even busier than me. If I don't go home to cook, everyone in my family will starve to death!"
Old Liu didn't lie. His wife is a nurse and she had said before that she often went to buy groceries and cook. He went home right after get off work every day and had no time to hang out outside.
Lin Guoqing scratched his head. "Okay then! I'll bring you something else when I have the chance! Thank you so much for your car these past few months."
Old Liu waved his hand indifferently. The car was government-owned and the fuel was also paid for by the government. He just gave someone a ride on his way to work. It didn't take much effort, so there was no need to thank him.
If he has to thank anyone, he should thank Ye Juncai. After all, it was Ye Juncai who agreed to let Lin Guoqing get on the tricycle, and the discount on the tricycle was also from Ye Juncai. It would be better for him to give his thank-you gift to Ye Juncai.
Of course Lin Guoqing knew this, so when he went to the state-owned restaurant, he ordered food without blinking an eye.
Ye Juncai just ordered a plate of stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of white rice. Lin Guoqing waited until he finished speaking before asking the waiter what dishes were available.
The waiter casually listed the dishes available in their restaurant today, and Lin Guoqing basically ordered one for every one she asked for.
"I definitely want one portion of braised pork... and one portion of stir-fried pork liver with garlic... and one portion of scallion fish. Scallion fish is so good. The fish are so plump right now, I'll have one of that too..."
Ye Juncai quickly stopped him, "Hey, hey, hey, it's National Day, there are only two of us, don't order so much!" And they are all meat dishes, how much will this meal cost!
"It's okay! Eat as much as you want. I have enough money and food coupons."
"It's not about money. One meat and three vegetables are enough for the two of us. We can't finish them all."
"It's okay. I brought a lunch box with me when I went out. I ate the sweet potatoes in it, so it's perfect for packing leftovers."
…
The waiter taking orders grew impatient as they pushed and shoved each other, "Are you two ready? Are you going to order or not?"
These days, the service industry generally has no service to speak of. Ye Juncai was a little embarrassed, but he still signaled to Lin Guoqing with his eyes, enough is enough.
Lin Guoqing quickly smiled and said, "I ordered it. Sorry, can you give me another dish... do you have the tomato and egg soup?"
Finally, Lin Guoqing ordered another bowl of rice for himself, and then he finished ordering. The waiter wrote down their table order and said unhappily,
"Two bowls of rice require six taels of food coupons. The fish is carp, weighed by kilograms, 60 cents per kilogram. I'll settle the bill with you later." After saying that, he turned and left.
"Okay, okay..."
Ye Juncai was still settling the score with Lin Guoqing in his heart, while Lin Guoqing began to look around the restaurant heartlessly.
This is a state-owned restaurant with large tables and long benches. It is always crowded with people at meal times. It can only be said that city people are rich.
The diners sitting in the restaurant were mostly dressed in blue-gray work clothes or even army green. No matter the color, they all looked spotless, without a single patch. There weren't many people as dingy as Lin Guoqing, not to mention the huge amount of bags he had when he came in just now.
Fortunately, there is a seat in the corner, otherwise this sack of cotton would probably be despised by the waiter.
He guessed that even Lin Fuqiang had never eaten in a restaurant, so today he was just benefiting from Ye Juncai.
As the waiter walked out of the kitchen with a dish, the people at the nearest table quickly waved and said, "Hey, this is our dish!" and brought it over.
Lin Guoqing stretched his neck to take a look. It seemed to be a bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. He turned to ask Ye Juncai,
"Hey, Juncai, are we sitting too far away?" If the waiter can be robbed as soon as he leaves the kitchen, how long will it take to get here?
Ye Juncai also looked at it and said, "It's okay. Not every table orders so many meat dishes. The worst that can happen is that the tomato and egg soup and stir-fried vegetables will arrive a little later."
The first thing that came up were two bowls of rice. There was no need to wait for that. Even if every table ordered it, it would be served quickly after one round of rotation.
Not long after, the waiter came out with another plate of scallion fish. She suddenly forgot which table it was from and just stood there and shouted,
