Chapter 140 Genuine Goods
She just didn't believe that Ruan Chuxia could still bear it after hearing this.
Sure enough, Ruan Chuxia hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
But she agreed not because she was afraid of their threats.
But it’s already very late, and if I don’t cook, I won’t have anything to eat.
Not to mention them, she was also very hungry, not to mention that Xiao Zhiyu and Xiaojun were still sitting next to her and had not eaten yet.
Just think of it as a way to avoid disaster, it’s better than your family going hungry.
Seeing that Ruan Chuxia agreed, several people's eyes immediately lit up.
Xie Guihua spoke first: "Don't go to those small shops to deal with us, we also want to eat in the restaurant!"
She specifically emphasized the words "state-owned restaurant".
Ruan Chuxia sneered, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
These people are really rude and have big appetites.
"Okay, but let me tell you first, I don't have much money."
There was a hint of warning in her voice.
"Don't order too much. I don't have the money to pay! You all need to know your limits."
She treated everyone to a meal not to please anyone or out of generosity, but to have some peace and quiet.
If they treat me as a big shot who can be easily slaughtered.
That's not her character!
Although these people didn't say anything and didn't refute it on the spot, their faces clearly showed disbelief.
"No money?"
Who, they thought to themselves, would believe such a thing?
Who in the village doesn't know her reputation?
Besides, who would really go out to treat someone to a meal without bringing any money?
If we don't order more delicious dishes, and the villagers find out about this when we get back, won't they laugh at us for eating a bland meal for nothing?
In this way, Ruan Chuxia brought a few people into the gate of the state-owned hotel.
The hotel was brightly lit.
The air was still filled with the aroma of food.
She randomly found a seat by the window and sat down.
Then he pulled Xiaojun to his feet, and the two of them walked straight to the door to look at the blackboard menu hanging on the wall.
She gently touched Xiaojun's hair.
Then he looked up and said to the waiter, "One serving of braised pork, one serving of sweet and sour spare ribs, one serving of cold pork, and a plate of shredded potatoes."
The tone was crisp and clear.
Finally, she added, "Also, please pack two servings of dumplings for us, thank you."
She knew in her heart that the reason she ordered two servings of dumplings was that she planned to send Xiaojun to the infirmary first.
After she finishes her busy schedule, she will come back and slowly interact with this group of people.
After the waiter nodded and left, the dumplings were quickly packed.
She briefly explained a few words to the person on duty, then took Xiaojun's hand and walked towards the infirmary.
As soon as Ruan Chuxia left, the people at the table immediately exchanged glances.
They both revealed a hint of excitement tacitly.
A cunning glint flashed in Xie Chao's eyes, and he whispered, "Auntie, how about... asking the waiter to come over and ask how many dishes my cousin just ordered? What if she doesn't have enough to eat and gets hungry later?"
When Xie Guihua heard this, she nodded repeatedly.
Without even a frown, she continued, "Yes, this is our first time eating at a state-owned restaurant. How could we not be full? How can you treat us so perfunctorily? We must ask for clarification!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved it vigorously, her tone high and her voice extremely loud.
"Come here! Hurry!"
"what?"
The waiter walked over slowly.
She didn't even raise her eyelids, and glanced at Xie Guihua with a sidelong glance.
Xie Guihua didn't notice the other party's coldness at all, and even felt a little proud in her heart.
As soon as she called out, people came over. They must have been afraid of her.
Thinking of this, she felt more justified and even stood up straighter.
"What did the woman in blue order? Tell me."
The waiter was attracted by Ruan Chuxia because she was pretty and a little special.
It was so well-marked in my mind that I barely hesitated.
"Red-braised pork, sweet and sour spareribs, cold-mixed pork head, shredded potatoes, and two takeaway dumplings."
After Yuan Mengjuan finished speaking the whole menu, her brows immediately furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
Her tone couldn't help but rise an octave.
"That's it? Only four dishes?"
"What's wrong with four dishes?"
The waiter was also a little unhappy after hearing this, and his brows were furrowed into knots on the spot.
"This is a state-owned restaurant, and the food we serve is genuine and generously portioned! These four dishes are more than enough for the four of you!"
What's more, there are three meat dishes in it. In today's average material conditions, ordinary people can hardly come across them even if they want to eat them!
But Yuan Mengjuan simply disdained to pay attention to what she said and rolled her eyes.
Soon, she changed her tone, pretending to speak with deep meaning, and slowly said, "His aunt... go back and tell the villagers that we only had four dishes for a meal. People who don't know will definitely think we are shabby and stingy, and won't we be laughed at to death? It's still okay for us, but over there..."
Ruan Dejun, who was sitting next to him, became even more gloomy when he heard this.
His originally calm expression suddenly turned ashen.
He gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.
This little bastard doesn't know how to be filial!
I am her biological father!
You only give us four dishes for one meal. Do you think I'm a beggar?
The more he thought about it, the uglier his expression became, and his brows furrowed deeply.
"Is there anything else on the menu that we haven't ordered yet? We need to order more! We have to get two more decent ones."
After hearing what he said, the waiter didn't bother to explain any more. He just raised his chin slightly, pointed at an old blackboard hanging on the wall outside and said, "Go and see what you want to see. It's written on the blackboard."
Xie Guihua reached out and grabbed him, tugging his arm hard, and said with a look of irritation, "Why are you looking at the menu? Just ask them to bring all the dishes in the restaurant!"
After hearing what she said, Xie Chao's eyes suddenly lit up and he could hardly hide the smile on his face.
The waiter glanced at her coldly and replied in a rude tone.
"Do you think this is a state-owned canteen? Only say that if you can afford it! Don't just brag here, we don't owe you anything!"
These words were so direct and sarcastic that Xie Guihua choked and her face turned pale.
Upon hearing this, Xie Guihua immediately became embarrassed and felt panicked.
He touched the little change in his pocket.
Although there were only a few crumpled banknotes, it was enough to make her heart tighten.
I wanted to take a breather, take a step back and order from the normal menu again.
But then she thought - it wasn't her treat today anyway, so what was she afraid of?
You won’t feel bad about spending other people’s money.
She immediately regained her arrogant look and questioned aggressively.
"How dare you talk like that? Who are you looking down on? Just do it now if I tell you to. Do you think I owe you a few bucks?"
The waiter was too lazy to say anything more after being confronted by her. He just sneered and glanced at her up and down. Without saying another word, he turned and went to the kitchen.
…
The infirmary is a bit far from the state-owned hotel.
Ruan Chuxia had just finished her meal, so she came back a little later than them.
