Originally, Mike was not qualified to attend the dinner, but today was just a family dinner. The secretary and Mike were both close staff members of the Tang family. Taking this opportunity to invite these two people to dinner could also help win people's hearts.
On the way to the hotel, Mike said nothing, thinking in his mind how to make Su Nian fall into his trap.
Because it was a small family dinner, the place where Old Tang invited the guests was a private restaurant called Tan Ji Guan Fu Cuisine. The facilities of this place were not as good as those of a big hotel. The restaurant was located in a two-entry courtyard and was a high-end restaurant that won with its taste.
There is a small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard, and a pair of peacocks are kept in the main room used as the reception desk. The birds are well-fed, not kept in cages, and are not afraid of people. Occasionally, when they are in the mood, they will spread their wings and fly to the rockery in the yard.
"This place is interesting," Tang Xin envied the peacocks. "I wish I had two of them!"
Su Nian smiled: "Even if you buy it, you won't have anywhere to keep it!"
Tang Xin sighed with a pursed mouth, "Poverty has left me without imagination!"
Su Nian tempted her, "But Han Qing has a lot of open space. I've seen his dogs, five big ones, and he has several horses. I think he can also raise a few peacocks."
Tang Xin pouted and ignored Su Nian.
A waiter dressed in Qing Dynasty clothing led everyone into a private room. The room was filled with rosewood furniture and famous calligraphy and paintings hung on the walls. Su Nian and Tang Xin leaned over to take a look and found that the signature was actually a very famous person. They didn't know whether the painting was real or not.
Old Tang asked Su Nian and Chu Beichen to order the dishes. They were too modest to take the menu, so Old Tang ordered by himself. He had been here several times and was very familiar with the signature dishes.
"Do you have Buddha Jumps Over the Wall today?" Old Tang didn't even look at the menu and started ordering.
"Also, when you called, there was only one portion left, so I left it for you!" The waiter said politely that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a Kung Fu dish, and the restaurant will make a certain portion every day. It's not about the money, but you can't buy it even if you have money.
"That's great. Bring me another dish of braised shark's fin and bird's nest in clear soup—they're a must," Old Tang said. "And as for the other dishes, each person gets a portion of abalone. You know my habits, so just follow the usual rules!"
Old Tang casually mentioned a few dishes, all of which were quite expensive. Su Nian and Chu Beichen looked at each other and realized that today's meal was not cheap. However, when they thought about the fact that Old Tang owned such a large commercial building, the rent for one day would probably be enough for him to eat countless dishes from the Tan family. So, the two of them stopped feeling sorry for the bird's nest and shark's fin.
Everyone drank tea and ate dried fruits while chatting and waiting for the food to be served. It didn't take long before the delicacies from land and sea were served one by one.
Some stews that come with soup and vegetables are divided among everyone by the waiters after they are served, which is both hygienic and reasonable.
When the bird's nest soup was served, Mike, who was sitting next to Tang Xin, was very enthusiastic. He took the initiative to pick up the bowl and handed one to Su Nian before the waiter. Perhaps in order not to attract attention, he also handed one to Tang Xin.
In the eyes of others, this action was an attempt to curry favor with Su Nian, but considering that Mike was also a doctor, no one found it strange.
Build a good relationship with Su Nian, and when you encounter any difficult or complicated problems in the future, just ask her to take a look.
Su Nian didn't take it seriously, but when her hand touched the small porcelain bowl containing the bird's nest, she realized that it was not the case at all!
