Chapter 149: Restaurant Scene
However, Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu's luck ran out after they left Linglong Pavilion. They walked around the town again and confirmed that the things in the whole town were relatively ordinary, and only the jewelry in Linglong Pavilion was unexpected.
"Do you know who opened Linglong Pavilion? The exquisiteness of the jewelry here is comparable to that in Beijing." The more Yu Jiaming thought about it, the more puzzled he found it. He wondered if he could buy this shop and open one in Beijing.
"I heard that Linglong Pavilion here is a branch. They have shops in the provincial capital and the capital." Ye Mingzhu didn't know what Yu Jiaming was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely not say it.
"Is there a Linglong Pavilion in the capital?" Yu Jiaming asked Xiaowu.
Xiao Wu shook his head. They rarely accompanied their sisters to sell jewelry, and Linglong Pavilion was not a first-class jewelry store in the capital, so it was naturally not in their eyes.
Since there was already Linglong Pavilion in the capital, it would be difficult for him to buy it. However, he kept this matter in mind and planned to ask someone to investigate it later.
They walked until noon, and Jiang Hongyu took them to Fenghe Building for lunch.
The waiter at Fenghelou saw Jiang Hongyu and said with an embarrassed look: "Yayi Jiang, the restaurant is quite crowded today. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while."
This was the first time Ye Mingzhu came to Fenghe Building and there was no seat. She didn't expect Fenghe Building to be so popular.
Jiang Hongyu looked at the sky. It was just dinner time, but the Fenghe Building was already full of people. If he started waiting now, he would probably have to wait a long time.
He wanted to go somewhere else, but in the whole town, Fenghelou was the largest restaurant, and the others were small restaurants.
Judging from the way Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu were buying things just now, I'm afraid both of them are from wealthy families.
At this time, the shopkeeper came out of the restaurant and saluted to the few people: "Dear guests, if you don't mind, there are two tables set up in the backyard. Would you like to have dinner there?"
Jiang Hongyu looked at Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu. They didn't care. They were mainly tired after walking around for the whole morning.
"Then let's have dinner in the yard." Jiang Hongyu nodded. The shopkeeper, with a smile on his face, asked the waiter to take a few people to the backyard.
This is Jiang Hongyu’s first time coming to the backyard.
There are two screens in the backyard, which not only leave space for walking, but also can accommodate two tables. One can't help but sigh that the owner of the restaurant is really a talent.
The waiter quickly brought a pot of tea and handed over the menu for everyone to choose from.
Yu Jiaming followed the host's wishes and let Jiang Hongyu make the decision.
The few of them had been together and eaten together before. Jiang Hongyu ordered five dishes and a soup according to their tastes and asked the waiter to serve the dishes quickly.
The doors on the first floor of the restaurant were all open, allowing one to see what was going on inside. Xiao Wu, holding his chin, asked, "Brother Jiang, how delicious is your restaurant? It's only dinner time, and already so many people are here."
They just saw a lot of people wearing patched clothes, and then they saw a group of people spending money like water in the restaurant. The contrast was too great.
"Most of the people here are from other places." Jiang Hongyu could tell at a glance that most of the people here were not locals.
The food at Fenghelou is indeed delicious, and there are indeed some wealthy people in the town who come here to dine, but this is the first time Jiang Hongyu has encountered such a popular restaurant that they have to set up two tables in the backyard.
Although there were many people, the food was served quite quickly. After we sat there for about a quarter of an hour, the waiter started serving the food.
Jiang Hongyu ordered all the special dishes. Yu Jiaming had been shopping for the whole morning and was a little hungry, so the food tasted pretty good.
Xiaowu is not a foodie, as long as he can eat enough, the food tastes sweet.
Seeing how quickly the two of them ate, Ye Mingzhu felt that the food at Fenghelou was delicious, and she ate more without realizing it.
Jiang Hongyu didn't eat much. He just looked at Ye Mingzhu and picked up some food for her from time to time.
Xiao Wu was sharp-eyed and noticed this scene. He nudged Yu Jiaming with his elbow to let him look.
Yu Jiaming naturally noticed it as well, but he didn't say much and just slowed down the speed at which he picked up the food.
The dining table was very quiet for a while, with only a few sounds of chewing food.
The table next door was much more lively, with a few big men making a lot of noise and urging the waiter to serve the dishes from time to time.
It wasn't until the waiter brought the dishes that the next room became much quieter, with the sound of conversations mixed in with the clinking of cups and plates.
"We brothers have been in Pinggu Town for a few days, but haven't found anything?"
"I heard someone say that we need to go out to sea. Why don't we rent a boat and go out to sea and see."
"It's just that none of us brothers can swim, so going out to sea..."
"Don't worry, big brother. There are many fishermen in Pinggu Town. We can just find two and go out to sea with us."
…
Because it was close, even though there was a screen blocking the way, the sounds from next door still came through.
Ye Mingzhu lowered her head, pretending not to hear. Jiang Hongyu frowned, and Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu tightened their grip on their chopsticks. It seemed that Pinggu Town was in troubled times.
Everyone seemed to have something on their mind in an instant. They ate much slower and soon put down their chopsticks.
Jiang Hongyu listened to the noise from next door and stopped trying to persuade them. He just called the waiter to settle the bill.
After they left the house, Yu Jiaming asked, partly out of curiosity, partly inquisitive, and partly annoyed, "What could possibly be in Pinggu Town that attracts so many outsiders?"
Jiang Hongyu had long suspected that Yu Jiaming and the others had come to Pinggu Town because of the anomalies. Hearing them ask this, he did not feel surprised at all.
He shook his head. "There have been some outsiders moving around Pinggu Town for a few days. As for what's unusual here that's attracting everyone's attention, we haven't noticed anything yet."
Yu Jiaming suspected that Jiang Hongyu was making excuses, but Jiang Hongyu looked at him sincerely, which made him unable to continue.
With something on their minds, Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu lost the mood to go shopping and said they wanted to go back and rest for a while.
Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Mingzhu and Ye Yun'an. Ye Mingzhu also felt tired and nodded. Ye Yun'an, who was beside her, had been paying attention to her sister's movements. Seeing her sister nod, he smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, we are tired too. Why don't we go back and rest first and come out after we are well rested."
Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Little Brother Ye is right. Let's go back and rest for a while."
For some reason, Xiao Wu got along well with Ye Yun'an. He took the initiative to put his hand on Ye Yun'an's shoulder and pulled him forward.
Yu Jiaming smiled apologetically: "Xiao Wu still has some childish personality, don't blame me, Brother Jiang."
Jiang Hongyu smiled and said, "Brother Yu, that's not true. Xiaowu just likes Yun'an."
Xiaowu in front didn’t hear this. If he had heard it, he would have nodded frequently. He was taking Xiaowu shopping.
Ever since he entrusted the jewelry he sold to the escort agency to be shipped out, Xiao Wu has completely relaxed. He feels that the day when he gets rich is not far away.
Once he relaxed, he couldn't hold the money in his hand anymore. On the way from Fenghe Building to Jiang Hongyu's house, he bought a lot of things.
There were fruits sold on the street, snacks in the shops, and food on the stalls. If he and Ye Yun'an couldn't carry them anymore, he would have wanted to buy some more.
Seeing that he had bought so many things, Jiang Hongyu advised him to finish eating first and then buy more, as these things were difficult to store.
Xiao Wu laughed and said, "We came here empty-handed yesterday. We're really sorry. These are just a token of our gratitude for your hospitality."
Yu Jiaming also felt it was polite, so Jiang Hongyu didn't say anything and took the two bags of fruit from Ye Yun'an's hand to lighten his burden.
In the end, except Ye Mingzhu, everyone was holding something in their hands.
Just as they reached the door and were about to push it open, the door next door opened. Lotus looked at them with a smile on her face: "Are you back?"
