She has been in the city for so long and has no one to play with.
At noon, the sun was shining brightly. Qian Chunhua, Zhao's mother and their four lively and lovely children went to the bustling Fulai Restaurant.
The waiter came up to us warmly with a smile on his face.
"Ma'am, welcome." The waiter greeted her attentively.
Despite the difficult times, the Fulai Restaurant was still crowded with guests and bustling with people. In this troubled time, there were always some wealthy people willing to spend money.
"Brother Xiaoer, are there any private rooms on the second floor?" she asked softly.
The waiter smiled and responded, "Yes, yes, ma'am, this way please."
He turned around and led everyone towards the second floor.
Zhao's mother and the children were curious about everything in the restaurant, while Qingfeng was a naughty kid, looking around, full of curiosity.
He and Xiaoyun followed the waiter, skipping and jumping.
Qingsong seemed much more stable. He puffed out his small chest and followed his sister and brother carefully, fearing that something might go wrong with them.
Zhao Xiaoling watched all this, feeling both excited and nervous, and followed Qingsong obediently.
"Mom, let's go upstairs too." Qian Chunhua turned around and said to Zhao's mother, helping her walk slowly to the second floor.
In the elegant private room, Qian Chunhua glanced at the menu and was secretly shocked.
Even the most homely dishes cost as much as one or two taels of silver.
And those more exquisite dishes would cost twenty or thirty taels of silver.
Qian Chunhua had plenty of money, and seeing the children's expectant eyes, she gritted her teeth, hardened her heart, and took the children for a big meal.
She ordered Kung Pao Chicken, Roast Duck, Shredded Pork with Fish Flavor, Lion's Head with Crab Roe, Dongpo Pork, and two stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
A rough calculation shows that this meal would probably cost nearly a hundred taels of silver.
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." The waiter took the menu and walked out with a smile on his face.
After a while, the waiter came in with a tray and placed the exquisite dishes on the table one by one.
Kung Pao Chicken is golden in color and fragrant;
The roast duck has crispy skin and tender meat, which is mouth-watering;
The fish-flavored shredded pork is sweet and sour, and leaves a lasting aftertaste.
The crab meat and roe lion head are tender and juicy, melting in your mouth;
Dongpo pork is fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious;
The stir-fried seasonal vegetables are fresh and delicious, adding a touch of green to the table.
When the children saw these delicious foods, their eyes lit up.
"Mom, try this..."
Qian Chunhua carefully picked up a piece of lion's head and gently placed it in Zhao's mother's bowl.
The lion's head looked particularly tempting in the bowl. Just by looking at it, it felt as if you had tasted its deliciousness.
Mother Zhao looked around at the dishes on the table with amazement in her eyes.
These dishes were colorful and fragrant. Even when her family was well-off in previous years, she had never tasted such sumptuous delicacies.
And now, despite the drought, we can still eat such sumptuous meals, all thanks to the second son's wife Qian Chunhua.
Mother Zhao carefully picked up the lion's head with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. The taste of the lion's head was so great, so fresh and delicious, and it left a long-lasting aftertaste.
After Zhao's mother started tasting the food, Qian Chunhua also started eating.
Then, the children couldn't wait to start devouring the food, their faces filled with satisfaction and happiness.
Qian Chunhua looked at the satisfied expressions of the children and felt relieved. Seeing them eating so happily, she felt that all her efforts were worth it.
