Just after five o'clock, Bai Jingyang, Han Jun and Jiang Shen, the "Foodie Trio", came over. As soon as they sat down, Bai Jingyang immediately asked curiously.
"We just heard that someone came to make trouble here this afternoon?"
Sheng Jing nodded expressionlessly but didn't say a word, which really worried Bai Jingyang. They had gone back after lunch at noon. They all went out around two o'clock and didn't come back until after four. Then on their way back to the village, they heard many villagers talking about someone coming to make trouble at Sweetie's Gourmet Restaurant this afternoon.
"Ah, I shouldn't have gone out this afternoon!"
Bai Jingyang smacked his thigh regretfully. "Is the young boss okay?"
Sheng Jing shook his head. Just then, Bai Ying came in and interrupted, "What a stupid question. If something had happened, do you think the dinner service would be going on?"
Bai Jingyang and the other two thought it made sense, so they stopped gossiping about the trouble - making incident. As long as the young boss and the restaurant were okay, they were relieved. They had been worried all the way, and even blamed themselves for not coming to help this afternoon. But now that they knew the result, they could put their hearts at ease.
"Hey, there's a new dish on the menu tonight!"
Han Jun was looking at the menu and found a new dish, Spicy Flower Crab and Spareribs Hot Pot! He excitedly looked up and asked Sheng Jing, who nodded.
"Yes, one more dish has been added."
It was a concise answer, but Han Jun and the others didn't mind. They were already used to this way of speaking from this handsome and aloof young man. The three of them ordered one serving of each dish. Jiang Shen originally wanted to order two servings of Braised Pig's Trotters in Rock Sugar, but was rejected by Sheng Jing.
"Sorry, only one serving per table."
There was a limit? Jiang Shen gave a questioning look. This time, Sheng Jing gave a detailed explanation. It turned out that there were not many pig's trotters left. Although Yuan Tiantian had gone to ask Aunt Qianhua to find some more pig's trotters in the morning, the quantity was still limited. And this dish was quite popular.
After learning this, Jiang Shen didn't say anything more. When Sheng Jing took the menu to the kitchen, Bai Jingyang and Jiang Shen both looked at Han Jun.
"Are you going back tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Han Jun covered his heart painfully, looking like a drama king.
"Yes, so don't fight me for the dishes tonight!"
Bai Jingyang and Jiang Shen glanced at each other, then just scoffed at Han Jun and finally said in unison,
"That's impossible."
While they were joking, Yu Yongqing came over, bringing Shen Qingyun with him. After they came in, they familiarly sat down at the table next to Bai Jingyang and the others. Both sides nodded politely to greet each other. Bai Ying came up to take their orders. Without hesitation, Yu Yongqing ordered all the dishes except the white rice.
After Bai Ying left, Shen Qingyun once again gave Yu Yongqing a accusing look. The latter shook his head helplessly and finally said to Shen Qingyun,
"It's my fault. I won't fight you for these dishes tonight, okay?"
Shen Qingyun snorted and gave Yu Yongqing a big roll of her eyes. Yu Yongqing really wanted to strangle Lu Yong. He was really being a busy - body. It must be a retaliation after Lu Yong went back as he had been instructed! Yu Yongqing actually planned to go back tomorrow afternoon. Before coming here, Shen Qingyun was busy working on her painting, so Yu Yongqing didn't tell her about coming to Sweetie's Gourmet Restaurant to discuss cooperation. He just planned to bring back more snacks for her when he went back. Who would have thought that Lu Yong sent a message to Shen Qingyun, and here she came in a rage this afternoon!
"Old Yu, let me tell you, I've noted this down in my little book. You can't hog the good stuff!"
Yu Yongqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was soon relieved because the food was served. Shen Qingyun didn't have time to pester Yu Yongqing about this "hogging" incident. She was once again conquered by the food at Sweetie's Gourmet Restaurant.
"Wow, the Braised Pig's Trotters in Rock Sugar don't taste greasy even when eaten alone. When paired with the Beef Rolls in Tomato Sauce and rice, it's even less so. And the Spicy Flower Crab and Spareribs Hot Pot! The fresh, spicy and numbing flower crab meat is perfectly combined with the spareribs. It's just so delicious!"
While eating, Shen Qingyun sighed. Her words also expressed the feelings of the others at this moment. Especially the newly - added Spicy Flower Crab and Spareribs Hot Pot tonight was really fresh, spicy and numbing, and the flavors of numbness and spiciness were just right. It wasn't that industrial - style spiciness. It had the unique fragrance of chili peppers and Chinese prickly ash. It was really great. Both tables directly ordered another serving of the Beef Rolls in Tomato Sauce with rice because this hot pot was really a perfect match for rice!
"It smells so good!"
When Bai Jingyang's and Yu Yongqing's tables were almost finished eating, new customers finally came to the restaurant. And this customer was someone who had never been to Sweetie's Gourmet Restaurant before.
Sheng Jing stood up to greet him. The visitor was a middle - aged man in his fifties. He was quite tall but looked a bit thin. After Sheng Jing led him to his seat, the middle - aged man picked up the menu, looked it over, and then ordered the Spicy Flower Crab and Spareribs Hot Pot, the Beef Rolls in Tomato Sauce with rice, and a glass of iced lemonade.
After Sheng Jing left with the menu, Yu Yongqing looked up and happened to meet the middle - aged man's eyes sitting opposite. Yu Yongqing was instantly stunned.
"President Yun?"
Hearing his name called, Yun Feng was a bit stunned. Then he looked at Yu Yongqing and recognized him too.
"President Yu?没想到在这碰到你，真是巧了！"
The visitor was Yun Feng, the boss of Rijing Semiconductor Company. He had had some cooperation exchanges with Yu Yongqing two years ago. But Yu Yongqing remembered that Yun Feng had retired to the background due to health problems a year ago and hadn't been seen in the company for a long time. He didn't expect to meet him in this gourmet restaurant today. It was really fate.
Subsequently, Yu Yongqing introduced Shen Qingyun to Yun Feng briefly. Seeing the good relationship between the two, Yun Feng smiled slightly, but there was a bit of bitterness in his heart. His wife had passed away from cancer five years ago, and now he...
Thinking of this, Yun Feng quickly dispelled the negative thoughts in his mind and enthusiastically chatted with Yu Yongqing again. However, it didn't last long because Yun Feng's order was quickly served.
"President Yun, let's chat when we have time."
After Yu Yongqing said that, he was about to leave with Shen Qingyun. Fortunately, they had rented a car in the city this afternoon and drove here directly at night, so it was very convenient. But before leaving, Yu Yongqing found Yuan Tiantian.
"We'll come back tomorrow noon. Besides having lunch, we also want to buy lemons and Shuyang fruits."
It wasn't a problem to buy lemons and Shuyang fruits. Yuan Tiantian was about to agree casually, but she was shocked when she heard the quantity Yu Yongqing mentioned.
"Boss, listen to me first. I need 500 of each. I wonder if you have enough?"
Yuan Tiantian frowned and looked at Yu Yongqing, then directly refused.
"President Yu, at most 100 of each. I won't give any more."
They hadn't officially cooperated yet. Yuan Tiantian didn't want the products to be circulated on a large scale. She didn't suspect that Yu Yongqing would resell them now, but she also wanted to prevent him from giving them away directly and causing large - scale circulation. Before a guarantee was determined, Yuan Tiantian didn't plan to do so.
Was it a way to prevent risks?
