"It's not cheap, but my cousin and I both ordered the full set, which includes cold dishes, soup, hot dishes, main courses, and desserts. We each ordered two desserts. Oh, and we also added Coke, which alone costs two dollars and fifty cents in a restaurant."
Not to mention the eldest child, even the second child, Cai Mei, was shocked by the prices.
Xu Manman continued, "Actually, if you don't order the whole set, but just order a few dishes, the prices are not bad." She listed several dishes on the menu that cost less than one yuan.
Yang Yang asked, "Can we order a la carte?" The last time she went there with Lao Si, they ordered the full set meal. Even though she had enough living expenses, she still felt it was extremely expensive.
"Of course, you can just go there and have a cream cake or ice cream." She also observed during the meal today that not everyone was so particular about ordering a full set. Many people kept the Chinese style of ordering dishes, only ordering hot dishes, soup and staple food.
Moreover, I have seen many people ordering a cake and a cup of coffee at the Red House before, so there is no reason why it cannot be done here.
Hearing this, the second sister Cai Mei was really tempted, "Sister, how about we try it tomorrow?" She had been working very hard on her business some time ago. After all, it was a small business. Although she didn't earn much, she could still afford to give it a try.
The eldest child was still a little hesitant. She still wanted to save the money to buy something good for her children, which was different from the situation where the second child could eat enough to feed the whole family.
"Forget it. I've already spent more than I should have today. Why don't you go with Lao Wu?"
Lao Wu accepted everything that came her way. When she heard Xu Manman announce the dishes, she felt hungry again after finishing her cream cake. "Okay, okay, Second Sister, let's go together tomorrow. I also want to try that iced coffee with ice cream."
While it was still early, Xu Manman simply measured Cai Mei's size and cut the cloth directly. The boss was an expert in making clothes, so he didn't need her help. He just asked Xu Manman to help correct some details.
Although Xu Manman used an excuse to reject Yang Yang, after washing up, she really took out the Dacron she had bought before and made summer clothes for her cousin.
During this period, her family sent her a lot of clothes so that she could dress better in college. Mother Xu also sorted out a few of Xu Manman's old blouses and sent them to her. They were all made of good materials, and the styles would not be out of style. They would be perfect for An to wear when summer comes.
As her cousin was a boy and his family was rather poor, as far as she knew, no clothes were sent, but a lot of money was given. Chen Ming did mention that he didn't want to trouble Xu Manman and wanted to buy ready-made clothes directly. Besides, she had made a lot of clothes for him in the past few years, so it didn't matter if he didn't wear new ones in the next two years.
Xu Manman had already agreed, so as for Yang Yang's matter today, she simply took out the Dacron she had bought before and did it.
Once she has a style in mind, Xu Manman will cut it directly. Her skills in making clothes are not perfect, but they are not worse than many old masters out there.
By the time the lights went out, she had finished most of the shirt, which meant that sewing with a needle took a little longer.
The next day was May Day. As we had agreed to go over for lunch, Xu Manman had also told her cousin yesterday that since it was a rare day off, she would just sleep a little longer and just gather at the school gate at 10 am.
So this morning, even though she heard the noise outside the bed curtains, she didn't get up early.
Lying on the bed, she felt sleepy and took another nap. When she got up again, it was already 9 o'clock and there was no one in the dormitory.
Xu Manman got up and changed her clothes, with her hair still half down like yesterday.
In fact, although she has been camouflaging her skin during this period, she has gradually lightened the color a little. Not to mention white, but at least it is not dark anymore.
The modification of her facial features has also been adjusted. Before, her facial features were regular and indistinguishable from others. Her plan is to restore 70% of her true appearance in the future. She is still in the transition stage.
As for why she had to make such adjustments, she had also considered it carefully. She disguised herself at the beginning because she was in the countryside, and due to the times, an overly high-profile appearance would bring disaster and trouble, so she had to keep a low profile, blend in with the crowd, and be ignored.
Now that she is in college, she will be politically clear in the future. Moreover, in places where young people gather, many things are based on appearance. Although she does not want to rely on her face to gain convenience, she also does not want to miss many opportunities because of her ordinary appearance.
