This waiter had seen many people in Lingcheng, and his restaurant was quite famous in Lingcheng, so he was naturally quite worldly. He could tell at a glance that Fu Hanlai was no ordinary person, and his voice was even stuttering.
"Eat. Where's your chef? Have him make you a Mapo Tofu. Money's no problem, we can double it." Having come this far, what else could Fu Hanlai do but accept it?
Why won't Jiang Xuelin eat? Then what's the point of coming out?
He just wanted Jiang Xuelin to finish eating what she wanted as soon as possible and then get some rest.
I can't live like this for even a single day anymore.
"...Sir, our shop is really closed."
The waiter's expression became strained, and he spoke in a very soft voice.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
She didn't say anything, just stared at him.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered this taste and missed it terribly. Brother, tell your cook to get up and make it. Money is no problem, consider it a windfall." Jiang Xuelin came down at this moment, gently covered her mouth and yawned, and said softly.
Seeing this, the waiter had no choice but to open the door and let the person in while he went to the kitchen to get a pot of hot water.
These two were clearly not people their restaurant could afford to offend, and the waiter knew this very well. So after bringing up the water, he quickly went to find the manager and the chef who was already resting.
Alright, alright, both of you have made yourselves so clear, we can't just turn down money.
As that young lady said, consider it a small windfall.
And you really can't afford to mess with them.
Knowing that the Emperor's southern tour would take place in Lingcheng, and that the royal villa in Lingcheng was not too far from here, coupled with the accents of the two men from the capital, how could the waiter not understand that these were distinguished guests from the capital?
None of those who could accompany the Emperor on his southern tour were simple people.
I wonder if the heir and his wife from the Prince Ping's mansion also came along.
The waiter was naturally unaware of such a person, but he still remembered the lively debate over the Golden Lotus before the New Year. At that time, many scholars debated in their restaurant, and the scene was quite something!
The innkeeper lived in the back, and the cook was just average. Only the waiter was in charge of the front. When the waiter ran over and said this, the two of them immediately put on their clothes without saying a word. After the cook came over, he went straight to the back kitchen, while the innkeeper carefully came over with a smile to greet them.
These are important people in the capital; their shop dares not offend them. They must be treated with utmost care.
Fortunately, even though Fu Hanlai was full of resentment, he wasn't the type to make things difficult for innocent people. Despite his sour face, he didn't complain about anything and just asked for two bowls of plain porridge.
The white fungus soup and pastries I had at the villa have been mostly digested.
Jiang Xuelin was also hungry, so she asked for some other things to fill her stomach first. Fortunately, there were always things on the stove in the kitchen, so they were delivered quickly.
The two were really hungry, and they quickly finished off most of the food on the table before feeling satisfied.
Meanwhile, the Mapo Tofu prepared by the cook was finally ready.
The steaming, sizzling Mapo Tofu had just been served, and before it was even placed on the table, Fu Hanlai could smell its pungent aroma. He immediately retreated and sat down at the table next to him.
He doesn't want to sit with Jiang Xuelin!
The smell was so strong; you could tell it was spicy just by smelling it. I don't know how Jiang Xuelin could eat it.
Jiang Xuelin really couldn't eat much.
She was almost full, and it was almost dawn outside. All she wanted to do was get a good night's sleep. The Mapo Tofu smelled really good, making her mouth water, but she was already full!
After thinking it over and over, Jiang Xuelin swallowed hard, took a spoonful, and as soon as it entered her mouth, she felt an immediate sense of satisfaction.
And then that was it.
"...Why aren't you eating?"
Seeing that Jiang Xuelin stopped eating after a few spoonfuls, Fu Hanlai hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
"I ate it."
"You've only eaten a few spoonfuls, just that little bit. I'm asking you, why aren't you eating anymore?"
"But I've already eaten it." Jiang Xuelin blinked, looking somewhat innocent. "I'm satisfied now that I've tasted it. Do you expect me to finish it all?"
That makes no sense.
She had been craving the taste of Mapo Tofu that she had eaten during the day, and now that she had it, she was naturally satisfied. With her stomach full, shouldn't she go to bed at this time?
Fu Hanlai: "..."
He understood what Jiang Xuelin meant.
It was precisely because he understood that he felt he was truly... an unlucky guy!
I'm really... so angry.
After all that fuss, Jiang Xuelin only ate a few bites and then stopped? His short temper is about to explode!
"How could you do this to me?"
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
"I went through all the trouble of getting up in the middle of the night to come eat Mapo Tofu with you, and now you're not eating it anymore... Are you kidding me?"
Facing Fu Hanlai's suspicious gaze, Jiang Xuelin felt no guilt whatsoever.
She really did eat; she's just full now.
"I'm already full. Do you expect me to keep eating? What if I overeat and can't rest properly later? Or do you want to see me eat until I'm stuffed and then throw up all over you?"
The more they talked, the more confident they became.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
He was speechless.
But I was still not willing to give up.
