The waiter brought over the menu, and Liu Keyang said to them, "If you let everyone order, they'll all refuse, so I'll order instead. Oh, by the way, does anyone have any dietary restrictions?"
All four waved their hands and said no, so Liu Keyang lit it.
Knowing that rural people don't have much oil in their stomachs, he first ordered chicken, fish, and pork hock bones, and then ordered seafood such as prawns and crabs.
Su Xueli gasped. Seafood was expensive these days; it seemed she was going to have to spend a lot of money today.
Liu Keyang closed the menu and said casually, "This is all for now. We'll eat what we have, and order more if we need more."
The waiter agreed respectfully.
He then reminded the waiter, "Bring another bottle of baijiu, Yanghe Daqu will do."
Yanghe Daqu was a high-end liquor at that time, and its price was not cheap.
All four of them had sweaty palms.
Seeing that the four of them were sitting upright as if in a meeting, Liu Keyang picked up his teacup and invited them, "Have some tea, don't wait until it gets cold."
Everyone chuckled and picked up their teacups, then started calculating how much the pot of tea cost...
Seeing the serious expressions on the four people's faces, Liu Keyang thought they were nervous because they had never been to a restaurant before.
He said, "Everyone, don't be so nervous. No matter how nice the decoration is, it's for our service. Just relax here as if you're at home."
The four of them gave a stiff laugh, and then the room fell silent.
Liu Keyang found it laughable, glanced at Su Xueli, and asked in a low voice, "Are you nervous too?"
Su Xueli thought to herself, "I'm afraid of spending money."
But she smiled and said, "This place is so exquisite, we can't make a lot of noise here."
Liu Keyang said gently, "Let's close the door and talk; that won't be considered loud."
Su Xueli steeled her heart and decided to spend the money. She hadn't eaten seafood since her rebirth, so she decided to treat herself to some meat this time.
With that thought, she felt less pressured and picked up her teacup, saying to the three of them, "Ke Yang said it's okay to chat, so don't be shy. Let's drink tea. It would be a waste not to drink such fragrant tea after it's been brewed so well."
The three of them then picked up their teacups.
Su Xueli thanked Liu Keyang again for helping her cousin get his current job, and then the four of them offered him tea together.
Liu Keyang waved his hand: "I really can't stand you guys anymore. Can't we stop being so serious about eating? Otherwise, it's just awkward to eat."
Su Xueli could tell that Liu Keyang was not bound by formalities, so she smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. We'll just keep it in mind."
Su Yunfeng and He Yulan both nodded in agreement.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by a waiter bringing out a tray of food. Everyone instinctively moved a little away from the table.
The waitress was a young girl, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a youthful and innocent appearance.
As she carefully lifted the dish from the tray with her head down, her hand slipped and the plate fell onto the table. The dish was a scallion oil fish, and the broth splashed all over Bai Yujie's suit.
His off-white suit was instantly stained with a large patch of maroon, ruining the entire suit.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, sir, I'm new here..." The waiter's voice trembled with fear.
He Yujie frowned and subconsciously took out a handkerchief to wipe his clothes, but the more he wiped, the dirtier they became.
"This is no small matter. Go and call your supervisor over quickly," Liu Keyang said to the young girl.
The little girl pleaded tearfully, "Big brother, please don't! The foreman will fire me if he finds out."
