Today is a rare sunny day in Fushui Town. The sky is especially blue, a welcome change from the gloom of the past few days.
At this time, Xishanju was already full of three tables of people, and their accents suggested they were from out of town.
While delivering water, Xiaoqing casually gossiped that the other party was a team from Beijing who came to Changai Mountain for an inspection, and after checking, it turned out to be a fairly well-known construction company.
Mido, one of the members of the group, carefully looked around. From her initial reluctance to enter to her current curiosity, she was simply attracted by the unexpected wonder inside. She never expected that such a small place would have a shop like this.
The entire Xishanju is exceptionally clean. Whether it's the outer courtyard or the inner shops, even those with obsessive-compulsive disorder or germaphobia wouldn't find a single thing to say "bad." And look at the layout—the perfect blend of flowers, plants, bamboo, and wood. For these office workers accustomed to big cities, calling it a paradise wouldn't be an exaggeration.
And, and what's more! He has a cat!
Mido also has a cat, but as the old saying goes, a house cat is not as sweet as a wild cat, let alone a fairy cat!
She's so well-behaved, gentle, and cute—she'd want to stay and work here any minute!
"Mido, dinner's ready!"
"They're here, they're here." Mido withdrew her reluctant gaze, only to see the three cats lying lazily on the windowsill without moving.
Xu Qian also worked part-time as a waiter, mainly because there were so many people today that he was a little overwhelmed.
He and Xiaoqing made two or three trips before they finally got all the dishes served. There were three tables in total, and each table had five dishes and a soup.
The porcelain bowl used to serve the food was taken out of Xu Qian's backpack. It was a genuine 'antique' that he had bought from a porcelain merchant when he went down the mountain, and it was quite expensive at the time.
However, the quality justifies the price; it's clearly not an ordinary product.
Unfortunately, none of the people present today knew their stuff; their eyes were glued to the vegetables inside. Anyone who didn't know better would think they'd been starving for days.
As a lady, Mido was quite restrained. Although she had already drunk two bowls of soup, besides her job in finance, she was also a well-known food vlogger. She could tell from the first bite that this soup was extraordinary!
To be precise, it's the water. As everyone knows, besides the ingredients, the water is the most important thing when making soup. A pot of good water can enhance the flavor of the entire soup.
Soon, the others also noticed that the soup was especially delicious today. It was fresh but not greasy, and it was so smooth that they couldn't help but drink a second bowl after the first.
Well, my stomach has been completely filled with today's soup.
When Xu Qian brought out the cat food he had prepared, the table had been almost completely 'cleaned up,' with only a few tails left, too embarrassed to continue.
Xiaoqing collected the bill, which came to over 600 yuan. They had ordered many large dishes, which were more expensive, but even so, it was still quite cheap for more than a dozen people.
Before leaving, the leader booked a table for the evening, also with five dishes and a soup, but requested a plate of fish.
"Shouldn't we make it in time tonight?" the leader said to Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing glanced at Xu Qian, and seeing him nod, she finally agreed.
After the group left, Xishanju became deserted again.
Xiaoqing cleaned the small restaurant inside and out, then took money from Xu Qian before riding her electric scooter to the market to buy five fish!
Three of them were reserved; one was for myself, and the other was for the cats.
Everything was arranged perfectly.

Meanwhile, Qin You, far away at school, was being dragged to the cinema to watch a movie—oh, it was "Shaolin Temple."
"Shaolin Temple" was released during the National Day Golden Week. It grossed over 100 million yuan on its first day and over 80 million yuan in eight hours. It accounted for 34% of screenings and its total box office is predicted to be around 2.8 billion yuan.
This performance undoubtedly makes it the box office champion, and it also holds the top spot in terms of word-of-mouth with a score of 9.2.
The only drawback is that it has too many commercial elements, and most of the negative reviews revolve around this topic.
There were seven people watching the movie today: three from Qin You's dorm and four from the dorm next door. The group of young men lined up in a row was quite eye-catching.
Of course, everyone knows exactly where the focus is.
They had bought the movie tickets on their phones before they arrived, but the line to pick them up was quite long, so they would have to wait a while.
"Hey two, want to go downstairs and buy some potato chips? Want some Coke?"
I want Sprite!
"Then I'll have Sprite too."
The tall and strong Qin You was dragged down to the supermarket to do hard labor. When Fang Zhe came up, he saw a stall selling duck necks and originally wanted to buy some, but then another person said that the smell was too strong and stopped him.
"Does duck neck smell very strong? Not really, right?" Fang Zhe was still muttering to himself.
"If you want to eat it, you can buy it after the movie," Qin You compromised.
"Okay." Fang Zhe quickly gave in; all he really wanted to do was eat.
As the two were talking, a voice suddenly appeared beside them—"Is that... your cousin?"
Qin You turned his head and saw that the loud voice belonged to a strange girl he had never seen before.
"It really is my cousin, ahhh," the other person noticed Qin You's confusion and continued to explain, "Um, I'm a fan of Xu Qian, sorry to bother you..."
Seeing her nervous expression, Qin You had no choice but to say that it was alright.
"Um, could you please tell Lao Xu I wish him happiness? I... sob sob..."
"Oh my god, don't cry!" Qin You immediately panicked. What's going on? Why did she start crying while she was talking?
"It's okay, it's okay," the girl stopped herself, her eyes red-rimmed. "I wish him happiness, thank you, I'm leaving." As she spoke, she pouted, looking like she was about to cry again.
"???"
Qin You turned to his group of dog-loving friends, but they all turned away as if they didn't know him.
Qin You sighed and said, "Are we still going to watch the movie or not?"
"Look! Why aren't you looking!"
...
That girl wasn't the first, and she certainly wouldn't be the last. In the following period, Qin You encountered similar situations one after another.
With no other option, Xu Qian, who was staying in Fushui Town, had to log into that Weibo account again and post a status update about himself.
Simply put, he is living a good life now, which is the life he wanted, and he is very grateful to his friends who care about him, etc.
[I just hope you're happy... Waaaaah...]
Even if you retire from the entertainment industry, don't stop using Weibo! Remember us!
[I've even grown my roses...]
I won't say any more, just do what makes you happy.
[I just got into this game and they told me my house had flown away...]
[Just started playing +1]
[Girls, calm down! It hasn't flown yet! There's still "The Four Seasons" to go!]
[The trailer for "The Four Seasons" is out!]
[I'm going to check it out!]
As soon as this news came out, almost everyone who was actually commenting on Xu Qian's Weibo disappeared, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
Feeling compensating, Xu Qian took a picture of the osmanthus tree in the yard and posted it on Weibo as his update for the day.
Speaking of osmanthus, how about we make a dessert this afternoon?
Coconut milk osmanthus cake? Osmanthus double-skin milk? Osmanthus tofu? Osmanthus sweet taro balls?
