Chapter 301 The Takeaway Arrives
After Mr. Meng finished speaking, he looked up at the trembling chef beside him and ordered, "Go back in and prepare another portion of food that Yi Yi likes."
"Oh, okay."
The chef agreed, but his steps were obviously hesitant.
Although he has worked in the Meng family for nearly 20 years, Meng Yitong has been under his watch since she was a child.
But after all these years, he still doesn't know what Meng Yitong likes to eat.
Although he felt uneasy, he also knew that now was not the time to ask this question.
Looking at the chef's heavy steps, Meng Yitong couldn't help but chuckle.
In the environment of the Meng family, it would be strange if the chef could remember what Meng Yitong likes to eat!
After the chef left, the scene fell silent again for a moment.
Second Aunt Meng looked at Qin Zhuoran, who had been silent from beginning to end. After hesitating for a moment, she took the initiative to ask, "Zhuoran, didn't you eat either? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare an extra portion."
"No need, Yi Yi and I can just eat the same thing."
As soon as Qin Zhuoran finished speaking, several people hurriedly ran in from the door.
The leader stepped forward with a food box and reported, "Hello, sir, madam, gentlemen, ladies, someone is delivering takeaway food at the door, we have brought it to you."
Mr. Meng and others couldn't help but frown when they saw the security guard holding two baskets.
Hearing this, Meng Yitong turned sideways and waved to several security guards, "Here, send it over."
Upon hearing this, the security guards immediately stepped forward as if they had been pardoned, placed the lunch boxes on the table, and then quickly left.
The security guards, who seldom entered the Meng family's main building on weekdays, felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere as soon as they came in today. This made them dare not stay in the main building for a moment. After putting down their things, they left in a hurry.
Seeing this, Meng Yitong and her mother did not act pretentiously. They just stood up and started to open the lunch boxes themselves. Seeing this, Qin Zhuoran also stood up to help.
Seeing the three people busy with their own things, everyone in the Meng family felt very embarrassed for a moment.
When Aunt Meng saw this, she glanced at the servant beside her, and the servant immediately understood and came forward to help.
Seeing that someone had come to help, Meng Yitong and the other two simply sat down and waited.
After the servants had laid out all the food, Meng Yitong called Grandpa Meng and the others and said, "I ordered a lot. Grandpa, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, do you want to come and eat together?"
"No need. You can eat yourselves. However, the food outside is not as hygienic as the food at home. I suggest you eat less and wait for the food from the kitchen."
Mr. Meng looked very unhappy.
In Mr. Meng's opinion, Meng Yitong's behavior was completely a slap in his face.
Although there had been some mistakes in the kitchen before, as a girl of the Meng family, she not only did not help to maintain the reputation of her mother's family, but also deliberately stepped on them in front of outsiders. It would be better for the Meng family not to have such a girl.
As Mr. Meng thought about it, his eyes gradually became fiercer.
Meng Yitong, who was unaware of this, was the first to pick up her chopsticks after confirming that no one in the Meng family wanted to eat with them.
In fact, Meng Yitong was not hungry at the moment, but after staying abroad for a long time, she still missed the special food of her country.
When I ordered takeout just now, I wanted to eat everything I saw and accidentally ordered too much.
Second Aunt Meng looked at Meng Yitong and Qin Zhuoran eating happily, so she decided to ignore it, turned around, greeted everyone else, and prepared to leave.
It doesn't seem right to have so many people standing in the restaurant watching Meng Yitong and the other person eat.
Just as Aunt Meng and others were about to leave, two security guards rushed in hurriedly carrying lunch boxes.
After seeing everyone, he nodded and greeted them, then walked around them and delivered the lunch box to the table where Meng Yitong was eating.
After what happened just now, the nanny and the maid who were serving nearby took the initiative to step forward and help Meng Yitong take out the food from the lunch box without Meng Yitong saying anything.
The newly delivered food was being placed here, and a security guard carrying a lunch box ran in from outside the door.
Judging from the shapes of the lunch boxes in their hands, it is obvious that this lunch box and the previous two lunch boxes are not from the same company.
Aunt Meng looked at the endless flow of food and couldn't help but ask, "How much takeout did you order?"
Hearing this, Meng Yitong swallowed the food in her mouth, then looked up at Second Aunt Meng and said, "Not much, I only ordered from four or five. The main thing is that I don't know which one of them will deliver faster."
Aunt Meng wanted to give her a lecture, but because Qin Zhuoran was present, she couldn't open her mouth for a moment.
Su Jinyu, who was standing aside, looked at the plates that had been removed and his expression became even uglier.
Today's incident is not a big deal, but it is not small either.
Now she is the main person in charge of the Meng family's kitchen. After what happened today, Su Jinyu is very worried that Mr. Meng will hold this matter accountable to her.
Obviously, she did nothing and was just following the Meng family's previous practices. However, because of what Meng Yitong did today, she might become the scapegoat for this matter.
Just as Su Jinyu was thinking, she heard a cry of surprise from behind.
Su Jinyu turned around in the direction of the voice and saw a long line of people rushing in.
Seeing this, Mr. Meng, who was about to leave, stopped and said with a forced smile, "Butler Zhou, how come you have time to come here?"
Because of the marriage of Meng Wanbai and Qin Chengze, the Meng family and the Qin family have been discussing very frequently during this period.
As the Qin family's steward and the full representative for all matters of the Qin family, Steward Zhou also became familiar with everyone in the Meng family.
When Mr. Meng and others saw Butler Zhou leading a group of people over at this time, they just thought that he was here to discuss the marriage.
Although he didn't understand why he suddenly visited, Mr. Meng didn't think much about it.
Uncle Meng and others who were standing on the side saw the food boxes in the hands of the people following Butler Zhou.
Uncle Meng and others suddenly felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, before they could think about it, Butler Zhou bowed and said, "Young Master just got off the plane today and came to the Meng family without having eaten yet. I heard that the Meng family only cooks at mealtime, so I arranged for the chef at home to make some and send it over."
As Butler Zhou spoke, he turned his head towards the people behind him.
The servants following Butler Zhou immediately carried the food boxes and walked quickly towards the restaurant.
After entering the restaurant, the servants were not surprised at all to see that the table in front of the eldest young lady was already filled with food.
Several people quickly took out the food from the food boxes in their hands and placed them in front of Meng Yitong and Qin Zhuoran, and then quickly retreated behind Butler Zhou.
The Qin family sent more than 20 dishes this time. Fortunately, the Meng family's dining table was big enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many dishes.
After Butler Zhou greeted Mr. Meng and the others, he turned back into the restaurant and said to Qin Zhuoran and Meng Yitong, "Master, Madam, do you need anything else?"
Hearing this, Meng Yitong immediately waved her hand and said, "No need, these are enough, you can go back first."
When they were upstairs before, Meng Yitong saw that Meng's mother had been gone for so long and there was no movement, so she prepared to pull Qin Zhuoran downstairs to check.
As a result, before I even went downstairs, I heard a quarrel downstairs at the escalator entrance.
After realizing what was being said downstairs, Meng Yitong simply took out her cell phone and started ordering takeout.
Meng Yitong, who was worried that the takeaway would be delivered slowly, sent another message to Butler Zhou.
In Meng Yitong's original idea, she would eat whichever one arrived first.
Now it seems that the cooking speed of the Qin family chef is still a little slower than that of other restaurants.
