"How dare you say that! You ordered so much food, my salary for two months wouldn't be enough for you!"
"Didn't we agree to take it easy? Now we're doomed, ahhh..."
Looking at the devastated Qingque, Lin Mo thought for a moment and asked, "How many credits did you bring?"
Qingque wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a trembling voice, "I only...I only brought five thousand."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly and said, "Well, five thousand credits are more than enough."
"Look how worried you are, hurry up and eat."
After saying that, Lin Mo carelessly picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Qing Que's bowl.
Qingque looked at the table full of dishes, then at Lin Mo, her emerald eyes wide with disbelief, "Really? So many dishes, and it only costs five thousand credits?!"
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Of course, oh no, strictly speaking, three thousand credits is about right."
Qingque was still a little skeptical. She asked in confusion, "But, but when I was little, the restaurant my mother took me to could sell just two river shrimp with a few scallions and some oyster sauce on the plate for 5,000 credits?!"
"You have so much food on this plate, how come you only sold so little?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo chuckled.
It seems this little girl rarely goes out to eat. Come to think of it, that makes sense. After all, she goes out to play Di Yuan Qiong Yu whenever she has pocket money. Why would she waste it on a place like this?
He looked at Qingque and asked with a smile, "Which restaurant did your mother take you to when you were little?"
Qingque paused for a moment, then put her index finger to her lips and thought for a moment before saying, "Um, it seems to be Zhiwei Shengyuan on the street near Xingchahai Central Hub."
"Zhiwei Shengyuan?"
Lin Mo smiled with great interest.
It seems this little bluebird has quite a few misunderstandings about the restaurant.
He knew this restaurant; they were known for their meticulous cooking and only served one table of guests a day.
Their signature dish is called Anhe Five Gentlemen, which is basically fried sturgeon. However, they don't use the whole fish; they only use the three meat bones from the tail to make the dish... It's incredibly extravagant.
In their eyes, cooking is an art that cannot be touched or defiled...
It has a very high-end feel...
Of course, it's also very expensive.
Just like those top-tier Western restaurants in my past life, they can simply fry some small takoyaki, add a few artistic leafy greens, and the price will increase exponentially...
Little Bluebird doesn't usually eat at restaurants, thinking that all restaurants are as terrifying as that one, Zhiwei Shengyuan.
It seems necessary to explain this to the little girl.
Lin Mo shook his head helplessly.
...
"Oh? I didn't know that was it. You scared me to death."
Qingque patted her green grassland and let out a long sigh of relief. Then, realizing her lapse in composure, she couldn't help but complain shamefully, "Lin Mo, why didn't you explain this to me sooner? You made me worry for nothing."
"Who knew you were so inexperienced? I thought you knew everything. Hurry up and eat, or the meat will get cold."
Lin Mo joked.
"What's wrong with it? It just happened to hit a blind spot in my knowledge," Qingque retorted, unconvinced.
Then he glanced at the braised pork in the bowl and paused for a moment.
"Who asked you to serve me food?"
She muttered a complaint, but ultimately swallowed the braised pork reluctantly.
"It smells so good..."
Qingque swallowed hard, surprised that the food at this restaurant was just as good as her mother's cooking!
It's more than twice as good as the lunch at the Tabernacle Cafeteria!
Seeing Qingque's satisfied expression, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh and say, "How was it? Sister Cui's cooking was pretty good, wasn't it?"
"Mmm, it's really delicious." Qingque quickly devoured most of the braised pork, in a great mood.
Perhaps because they were getting something for free, Lin Mo was in a good mood, and the two of them quickly devoured all the food.
When it was time to pay after the meal, Lin Mo casually put Qing Que's wallet in his pocket and said, "You keep it here, I'll go pay."
Upon hearing this, Qingque immediately became displeased. She burped and said, "If you want to pay, can't you use your own money?"
"Look at what you're saying. Aren't you treating tonight? Besides, I know that proprietress quite well. She'll probably give me a discount because of me."
"I'm doing this for your own good, little bluebird~"
Qingque nodded sullenly. She thought this guy was trying to save face, since having a girl pay for a meal was a big loss of face in Xianzhou. Besides, he seemed to have a good relationship with the proprietress and was probably a regular customer.
Clearly, she underestimated Lin Mo's shamelessness.
"Hey, Sister Cui, it's been a few days! Your cooking skills have improved even more! I brought a colleague here for dinner today, and she raved about your food!"
Lin Mo placed his hands on the counter and spoke with a smile.
"Oh, you're such a smooth talker. You've said so much, but all you want is a discount. Doesn't your sister Cui know what you're up to?"
Sister Cui, who was cooking, couldn't help but smile.
"Hehe, Sister Cui, you flatter me." Lin Mo smiled very honestly.
"That's settled then, three thousand credits, you only need to give two thousand five."
"Oh, thank you, Sister Cui~ A good person has 108 babies in one pregnancy~"
After paying, Lin Mo returned the wallet to Qing Que and said, "You've saved me five hundred credits, so you should be happy about it."
