Chapter 404 Entertaining Guests 2
Wang Qiong looked at the menu and said to the waiter who was taking notes, "One order of Chinese cabbage, three fresh vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a braised pork platter, braised spareribs, spicy shrimp, boiled shrimp, crucian carp and tofu soup, glutinous rice and ginseng chicken soup. For dessert, I'll have double skin milk and ginger milk. And then..."
"That's enough, that's enough. It's already a lot." Wang Qiong was interrupted by her family before she finished ordering.
"The main course hasn't been ordered yet, so let's have steamed buns for the main course, and add a serving of dry-pot cauliflower, and change the fruit platter to a larger portion. One of these dishes will be served to each table. Three tables, please. That's all." There were exactly three tables of people.
The waiter nodded and turned to leave. After they left, the second and third aunts couldn't help but ask, "How much does it cost to order so many dishes? They are so expensive."
"We have black cards," Wang Qiong said, pulling them out of her purse. She handed out two cards to each family and one to Wang's father, giving away five cards in total. She added, "These cards are used by the relatives of our employees. They've only ordered 20 cards in total, so I got six. Bring these cards to eat and you'll get a 40% discount."
40% off is a lot, but the dishes are still expensive. I'm afraid this meal for a whole table will cost more than 500 yuan. But after all, it's not their money. I feel it's a waste but I didn't say anything. After the dishes were cooked, a large fruit platter was delivered. Now there is no sauce, Ye Qian taught everyone how to make yogurt, which can be sold separately or poured on the fruit platter. It tastes good and can be ordered separately. A large fruit platter will be given.
This yogurt tastes really good. I hadn’t thought about it just now, but when I saw it, I wanted to let my family try it too. I ran out quickly and added another portion of yogurt for each family member so that everyone could have a taste.
The children couldn't help but clamor for food when the fruit came. The adults handed each of them a piece and let them eat it themselves. They couldn't help but praise it, "It's delicious."
"Is it really that delicious? It's just fruit." The adults were a little skeptical. After all, their families were not poor and they could afford to eat fruit, so they took a piece and put it in their mouths.
You won’t know until you try it. Once you try it, you will be conquered by the fruit. “It’s so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious fruit. What’s in it?”
"Apples, pears, bananas, cantaloupes, watermelons, grapes, and cherries. These are the large portions, and the small portions only have apples, pears, bananas, and grapes," Wang Qiong explained.
Seeing that those who had eaten it said it was delicious, those who had not eaten it started to eat it and picked up their chopsticks to pick up a piece.
Oh, it’s really delicious.
A large fruit platter was finished in just a few chopsticks, and everyone began to look forward to the dishes that Wang Qiong had ordered.
Everyone was chatting, and soon the dishes they had just ordered were delivered one by one. They were so delicious and tasty. Wang Qiong also brought over two bottles of white wine. The children just had the sweet yogurt they had just ordered, and did not order any juice.
Even though they had never eaten much, they were still attracted by the ordinary but delicious dishes on the table. They ate the food on the table and drank wine and beverages without even having time to talk, as if they were afraid that the food would be gone if they were a little late.
On this side, after Ye Qian came out of Wang Qiong's private room, she saw the Fu family coming in before she even went downstairs.
The Fu family, like them, did not have a large family of relatives, so not many people came. Ye Qian took them into a small private room with only one table, but it was not crowded at all.
There were three other people coming with the Fu family, one of whom was quite old. After arranging them to sit down, Grandpa Fu introduced them, "This is the old lady who bought you ginseng last time." Grandpa Fu paused here, then said, "You can call her Grandpa Zhong."
"Hello, Grandpa Zhong." This Grandpa Zhong must be quite distinguished, his bearing a resemblance to the soldiers from the Wang family next door. He must have been a soldier himself. He must have held a high rank, otherwise he wouldn't have two people following him at his age. One was dressed as a medic, the other as a soldier. Last time, they bought him ginseng. He must be in poor health, so these two are probably there to take care of him.
Ye Qian had a clever and cute face, which pleased the old man very much. Grandpa Zhong liked her at first sight. "Thank you for the ginseng. I felt much better after eating it, and the surgery went smoothly."
"You are welcome."
Grandpa Fu smiled and said, "I've eaten at this girl's house before, it was really delicious. I didn't expect it to open a restaurant here. It really is possible to eat whenever you want. You know your restaurant, so why not order a few dishes for us?"
"No problem, stir-fried cauliflower with tomatoes, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried pumpkin, boiled shrimp, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised fish, pepper pork tripe soup, and a serving of glutinous rice and ginseng chicken soup." After Ye Qian ordered the dishes, Fu Shan added a staple food and dessert before she stopped. Ye Qian also did not delay them from eating. She chatted with them for a few words and then left.
In the private room, the Queen Mother asked, "Can you finish all these dishes?"
The Queen Mother has been a lot more obedient recently, but she still feels a little distressed about ordering so many dishes. Although it’s not her money that’s being used, she doesn’t want to waste it.
"Finish the food, and add more if it's not enough."
Everyone laughed. How could they possibly finish so many dishes? However, no one had the habit of wasting food, so it was okay to pack up the leftovers. So when they ordered the dishes just now, even if they ordered too much, no one stopped them, so as not to spoil everyone's fun.
The slap in the face came too fast, like a tornado, there was no way to avoid it or escape it.
Didn't you say you couldn't finish the food? What do you mean by adding more?
The people in the private room were also eating enthusiastically, but the difference was that everyone was able to open their mouths and talk, politely saying to each other: "You guys eat too, eat more." But the chopsticks in their hands were not idle either, they were picking up food very enthusiastically.
After the meal, Wang Qiong didn't forget to give Grandpa Zhong a black card and explained how to use it: "Use this card to come here to eat and you can get a 40% discount. You can also buy fruit on the first floor. We don't sell fruit downstairs without a card."
When he heard that there was a 40% discount, although it was still expensive, it was indeed much cheaper. Grandpa Zhong quickly took it and put it in his own pocket, making the two people who followed him jealous.
Wang Qiong and Fu Shan brought their families, and Gu Jinyan also invited colleagues and elders with whom he had some connection.
It was someone who helped me buy the house last time, so naturally I invited someone over for the opening this time.
This busy work lasted until 3 pm.
After seeing off these elders, Ye Qian finally had time to sit down and rest. She was also glad that she didn't wear high heels for the sake of beauty, otherwise her feet would be broken after walking back and forth for so long today.
