The food on the menu looks delicious and exquisite.
Xia Chujian and her three roommates had only seen the menus of luxury restaurants posted on Starnet before.
But none of those menus can compare to this one.
Xia Chujian had also been to the luxurious restaurants in the capital city of Dafu County on Guiyuan Star. Comparing with this, he understood why Guiyuan Star was the most backward planet among the five planets in the empire.
She looked through it for a long time but still didn't know what to order. She simply didn't understand what appetizers and appetizers were.
I caught a glimpse of my roommates out of the corner of my eye, and they were also at a loss.
They had never been to such an occasion before and didn't know how to behave appropriately and without being rude.
This is the only dignity they have left in front of the nobles.
Xia Chujian was too lazy to think about it.
She closed the menu and said to Quan Yuxun and Quan Caiwei, "Master Quan, Caiwei, we are not familiar with the dishes on this menu. Please recommend a few signature dishes for us to try."
She said it so frankly that her three roommates' necks turned red with embarrassment.
It seemed as if he felt that in front of top nobles like the Quan family, he had exposed the fact that he was not presentable.
Xia Chujian was used to it. She nonchalantly came to the rescue of her three roommates and said, "I'm different from my three roommates. They've seen more of the world than I have."
"I grew up in a poor family, and even the bullets for my shooting training were donated by kind-hearted people."
"When I was very young, I couldn't even afford low-nutrient solution at home. I only ate two meals a day, skipped dinner, and went to bed early because I wouldn't feel hungry when I slept."
She wasn't lying. When she was a child, she and her aunt had indeed lived through a very hard time.
Quan Caiwei was the quickest to empathize, her eyes reddened as she hurriedly said, "I was inconsiderate. This is our first meeting. I'll order the dishes. I know which ones are the most delicious and have the freshest and most nutritious ingredients."
Then she quickly said to the waiting waiter, "Put your S-class table on one table. The ingredients must be the freshest and the chef with the best skills will cook it. Got it?"
The waiter hurriedly bowed in response, and when he raised his waist, he couldn't help but glance at Xia Chujian.
In the five years he has worked here, this is the first time he has seen a customer who dares to confidently "expose his shortcomings" in such a high-end occasion.
Moreover, they had a humble look and confident tone that said, "You are not a good host," as if this embarrassing situation was not their problem but the problem of the host family.
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan and Sang Yadi were almost crying when they heard it, and they no longer felt embarrassed or ashamed for a moment.
They didn't know whether what Xia Chujian said was true or not, but no matter what, her words helped them get out of their predicament.
Quan Caiwei quietly held Xia Chujian's hand and whispered, "Chujian, do you still need nutrient solution? I have a quota of high-grade nutrient solution. I can send you a few boxes every month."
Xia Chujian almost said "yes"...
She wanted the more the better, as there were more and more people to support at home. That thing was rare, and even people whose genes could not evolve could strengthen their bodies by eating it.
But she still held back. After all, she was not without a quota of high-grade nutrient solution, and the Special Security Bureau sent her benefits every month.
Two boxes a month, sixty sticks, are really enough for my aunt and Wufu to eat one tube a day.
Xia Chujian also shook Quan Caiwei's hand and said with a smile: "I don't need it now. That's all in the past."
Quan Yuxun calmly said, "Second Lieutenant Xia grew up in poverty, but she was still very talented. Ever since she showed her talent with firearms, she has received a lot of financial support. So her childhood difficulties were just a temporary test."
Xia Chujian's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized that she had almost been exposed in front of her roommate...
Because she emphasized many times that she had been funded by the Zong family since she was a child, even the bullets for shooting practice were provided, it was impossible that she did not receive funding from other sources.
This is a loophole.
Fortunately, Quan Yuxun made up for it for her.
Xia Chujian smiled at him and said, "Chief Quan also knows about my family's situation. I have nothing to hide."
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi all said, "It's all in the past. It's our first meeting. If you need help in the future, please don't hesitate."
Xia Chujian nodded quickly: "I understand. Thank you, sisters. Do you think I'm a polite person?"
Driven by Xia Chujian, the atmosphere in the box gradually became lively.
Quan Caiwei is also a good chatterbox. Soon, she started chatting with Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan and Sang Yadi who were sitting on the other side of her.
She was not a soldier, but she was particularly interested in the three female Starfleet pilots and kept listening to their stories about the interesting things that happened during their flights.
Quan Caiwei tilted her head and chatted with Xia Chujian's three roommates.
Quan Yuxun looked at Xia Chujian and whispered, "...Your childhood experiences were made up, right?"
Xia Chujian picked up a glass of golden fruit juice from the dining table and took a sip. He also lowered his voice and said, "Of course it's true. Why would I make this up?"
“…Is it really that poor? On Guiyuan Star, it shouldn’t be that poor…” Quan Yuxun seemed to be thinking about something.
He knew that Xia Chujian's family was not rich, and he also knew that this guy always talked about the word "poor", but he still didn't expect it to come to this.
Xia Chujian shrugged. "I was young then, maybe two or three. My aunt had to take care of me, so she couldn't go out to work. I just sat at home and lived off the savings. As for why I often couldn't get the low-grade nutrient solution, you'd have to ask my aunt. I really don't know."
Quan Yuxun was speechless: "...You're bringing up something that happened when we were only two or three years old. Are you polite?"
