Su Chenhao returned to the private room upstairs, took off his coat, and hung it on the coat rack in the corner.
"The dishes are ordered. Including Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, there are 20 dishes in total."
"Why did you order so much food?" Li Meihua asked, feeling her muscles start to ache again. She already disagreed with the idea of eating out and having to spend money. The barbecue restaurant had even closed for a day because of this meal, meaning she would lose at least 20 yuan.
"It's a rare opportunity to get out, so don't be so old-fashioned. I haven't said anything about making things difficult for the children," Qiao Haisheng advised.
Li Meihua sighed and then said nothing more.
Su Chenhao quickly explained, "We know the chef here, so this meal won't cost us much, at most half the price. So ordering more dishes won't be a loss."
"Oh, I see. Then we won't lose out by ordering more. We can take the leftovers home to eat." Li Meihua's worries vanished, replaced by a cheerful smile.
Tao Chunfang gave the two children some snacks, then ate one herself. Her eyes lit up and she said, "It's so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious snacks before. I wonder what they're made of."
Qiao Xiaoni picked up a piece, took a bite, and said, "It has honey and cream in it. I'll research it at home when I have time."
"Hmm, if you figure it out well, make me a lot more. This stuff isn't greasy and it tastes good." Tao Chunfang stuffed the last small piece into her mouth.
"Sister-in-law, don't eat too much. Snacks will fill you up. There will be more delicious dishes later!" Qiao Xiaoni was afraid that she would be unable to resist eating more and wouldn't be able to finish the main dishes.
"Hmm, that reminded me, otherwise I would have liked to have another piece. I've been starving all the way here, and I don't know when the food will be served." Tao Chunfang turned around and looked at the door.
Just as he finished speaking, Qiao Dashan got up from the doorway to open it. To his surprise, he saw a group of young girls dressed in matching outfits, each holding a dish.
"May I serve the food?"
Qiao Dashan nodded, and then he watched as the young girls went in one after another, put the dishes on the table, and then stood aside.
There were eight dishes, which meant eight people. After the last dish was served, everyone bowed deeply and said, "Please enjoy your meal. If you have any comments, please let us know."
Qiao Xiaoni thought the owner of this restaurant was quite capable, and the waiters were well-trained. Even if the food wasn't great, the service alone was enough to earn her a good score.
Su Chenhao waved his hand: "Alright, you can go down now. If you need anything, I can call you from outside the door."
The waiters then left the private room one by one, with the last one closing the door behind him.
The sauerkraut and blood sausage hot pot is already steaming hot.
"Sister-in-law, try this pickled cabbage, it tastes just like you wanted it." Qiao Xiaoni used her chopsticks to put a piece of pickled cabbage into her bowl.
As her belly grew, Tao Chunfang developed a craving for sour foods. She easily ate a whole plate of pickled green beans into the chicken's belly, making them grit their teeth in frustration.
Tao Chunfang took a bite of the pickled cabbage, and before she could swallow it, she said to them, "This pickled cabbage is really flavorful, even better than the one we make ourselves."
Qiao Manli frowned: "Mom, if you can praise sauerkraut like that, you'll make your teeth ache!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Qiao Xiaoni thought the blood sausage was pretty good. It should be made first and then stewed in sauerkraut. She had to admit that this restaurant really went all out.
Soon, the dishes were served one after another, and the whole family gathered around to eat the steaming hot food, enjoying themselves immensely.
