173. Chapter 173 Although I don’t understand



Because she was planning to open a restaurant and a dim sum shop, Wen Yu wanted to take Yan Zhu out to try some food and broaden her horizons.

But I didn't expect that spending money on food would lead to problems.

When Li Jiang went to make reservations at those high-end restaurants and specialty restaurants, the waiters in the restaurant were shocked and asked: What? It's Chinese New Year, and you guys are unknown and you're here for the first time, and you still want to book a private room? What are you thinking?! They all looked up to him, proud and reserved, as if they were offended by Li Jiang! Otherwise, they would arrange a random time for us, or put the table near the lobby door...

Li Jiang was so angry that he muttered, "It's not like we don't want to pay you!"

When the waiter casually handed out the menu...the prices were so high that even Wen Yu was shocked!

Although she could afford it, but spending it like this... was there something wrong with her brain?

What should I do? In desperation, I wanted to ask Qi Wu about the situation.

As a result, Qi Wu didn't know much.

He said that he had not been in the capital for long and had a lot of things to do, so he had no time to go out to eat.

The few restaurants I've been to were also treated by friends, so I really don't know the specific circumstances.

Mrs. Qi was a woman and had only been to a few restaurants, and she didn't choose the restaurants herself.

Qi Youyi represented the Qi family and had quite a few social events. When others invited him, he would also invite others. He was very familiar with all the restaurants in Beijing. Usually, the housekeeper of the mansion or his attendant would arrange it, and the bill would be directly charged to the mansion.

But Madam Qi was unwilling to discuss these matters with the mansion, and even more unwilling to waste time talking to him.

Wen Yu went to ask her uncle to see what Lord Mo had to say.

As a result, Lord Mo said that he did go out to eat a lot. However, it was always someone else's treat. He himself only knew which restaurant had good dishes. But he had no idea how the dishes were selected and how much they cost.

He could ask the person who invited him to dinner, but he was worried that they might misunderstand that he wanted to eat...

Wen Yu heard this and laughed to death.

Sigh: It’s just a meal, but there are so many things to it.

Mrs. Qi said: Don’t worry, I will go home and ask your grandfather!

Wen Yu smiled secretly: He is my grandfather! Cui's father usually invites people to dinner, and he also goes to restaurants if he wants to change his taste.

When his wife was alive, she only ate a few bites of cat food, but she was very picky.

In order to please his wife, he often went to special restaurants.

When he heard the question, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it!" He booked several restaurants at once, including for lunch and dinner.

He also said that he would come to eat with them personally, and he would settle the bill! Hearing that the old man liked wine, Wen Yu sent Li Jiang to Song's house to ask for it.

The housekeeper of the Song residence told Li Jiang: "The fifth master of the family has his VIP seats in many restaurants. Miss Wen, where do you want to go? Just tell me and I will personally make the reservation. You can go anytime and you can also put it on account."

Li Jiang reported back excitedly, "Now, the girl can't eat anymore. The housekeeper also said that the Fifth Master has sent a letter, saying that he will go to Beijing after the New Year! He told the girl that you don't understand the decoration of the store, so wait for him to come."

"Why don't I understand?" At this moment, Wen Yu had a calm attitude towards Song Shang, just like brother and sister and old friends.

Old Man Cui invited everyone to dinner, and Mrs. Qi and Qi Wu both came.

When Mr. Cui saw his daughter, his face was all smiles. He had dinner with her and he didn't even know what time it was.

Wen Yu and Yan Zhu brought some wine...

There are beauties, fine wine, and delicious food, and you don't have to bother socializing. This is what a real meal is like! After drinking the wine and tasting the dishes, Mr. Cui and Yan Zhu hit it off right away.

"How come you are so smart, little girl?!" He was very impressed when he saw that Yan Zhu could talk about seven or ten things about the dishes served to her at once.

Yan Zhu was very honest: "I don't fully understand. I have never seen many spices, and I don't know their taste and usage. So, I know that something is added, but I don't know what it is. I will go to the spice shop to check later. I have never touched some ingredients, and I don't know how to handle them. There are many tricks here!"

"In my opinion, don't worry about what others do, just make your own dishes well. You must have your own characteristics! There are so many restaurants in Beijing, it is impossible to make all the specialties of every restaurant! Other people's signature dishes are the result of research by several generations of chefs. If they look similar but lack the taste, it will be ugly!"

The old man was indeed a gourmet and saw the essence of the dish at a glance.

When Yan Zhu heard this, she suddenly understood and clapped her hands in praise.

She loved to chat and praised the old man so much that he blushed.

I started to think about it. An old friend's wife loves matchmaking. She wanted to find a good family for this beautiful girl.

Qi Wu sat next to Wen Yu, watching his grandfather chatting and laughing.

My mother told me that my grandfather saved my grandmother by chance. There were more than a dozen women at the time, but he fell in love with my grandmother at first sight.

From then on, I never looked at anyone else.

At first, my grandmother disliked him because he was a soldier, vulgar, uneducated, and unrefined. She didn't want to marry him...

But he used his sincere heart, true friendship, and silly pursuit, and finally made his grandmother accept and like him.

When my grandmother was seriously ill, the person who was most worried was my grandfather.

I repeatedly told my uncle and mother to take good care of him.

Over the years, I have had the careful company of my uncle, aunt, cousins, and Yuanyuan.

He finally got over the sorrow of losing his beloved woman.

The mother next to him kept talking to Wen Yu. The two of them served each other food...

After Wen Yu said a few words, she started laughing non-stop!

The frown relaxed, and the heroic spirit reappeared! All the changes in his mother seemed to be caused by his fiancée...

Although now, he still doesn't understand what the friendship between his grandparents is like.

What should we do to be like them?

But I am willing to try with you...

Wen Yu turned around and saw Qi Wu looking at her, with a different look in his eyes than before.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Wen Yu took the opportunity to ask him.

"It's okay. I'm fine."

On the tenth day, the Qi family held a banquet.

The people who came from the Cui family were the second wife and Princess Huiyi, who brought little Yuanyuan with them.

As soon as Xiao Yuanyuan arrived, she asked, "Where's Sister Ayu?"

Huiyi County Lady smiled and said, "It will take another half a year for your sister Ayu to show up here!"

Madam Qi complained, "I don't know why, but I feel like every day is so long lately. In the past, it seemed like a day went by in the blink of an eye!"

"You miss your daughter-in-law! Who is she?" She asked Xu.

You felt embarrassed after getting Xu kicked out last time, didn't you?

Madam Qi said indifferently, "They call me Madam now. That's good! Have you heard? It's me who caused the couple to fall out."

"That girl really never tires of it!" Princess Huiyi looked at Tan with disgust and said, "You think she has come this far, shouldn't she be smiling even in her dreams? Why is she so mean and never content?"

Looking at Tan, who was dressed elegantly, her sitting posture was not as formal as that of ordinary noble ladies. She spoke with a soft southern accent, with rich facial expressions and was very humorous.

Everyone sitting around her liked her and was smiling happily.

Qi Baoer was brought here by the maid, and she really wanted to show off to Yuanyuan.

"Auntie, my turtle is bigger than yours. Look, you can even put the melon seeds in it and insert them! Look!"

Tan was saying, "Youyi made a lot of lanterns a few years ago, and they are all very beautiful. I have kept them well in the warehouse! I plan to take them out and put them in the yard. I won't go to the street. People are young people visiting lanterns. I am an old man, and I don't want to join in the fun."

The people who came today were from families that were close to the Qi family. Those who brought their children also liked Yuanyuan and Baoer's dolls, and the little girls played with Tan.

After chatting for a while, Tan asked Yuanyuan: "Little Yuanyuan, do you want to go to the street to see the lanterns on the 15th?"

Yuanyuan said, "Grandma, Dad promised Yuanyuan that we could go! He said he would walk from home to Houhai, watch the fireworks, and then walk back. There will also be candied haws to eat!"

"Hey, little girl, be careful when you look at the lanterns. There are a lot of people taking pictures of the lanterns on the street. If they take you away, you won't be able to find your mother!"

When Yuanyuan heard this, her eyes lit up!
