"I never said I wanted Xun'er to be a soldier," Lin Xiao was confused, wondering what Luo Qinghan was up to.
"That's good then."
Luo Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly reassured.
At this moment, Boss Wang arrived with the dishes.
"Come, come, the food is here, try it quickly!" Boss Wang said, as the servers placed eight dishes on the table.
"Chopped chili fish head, pan-fried frog, spicy ginger snake, braised pork, soft-shelled turtle..." with each dish named, Manager Niu's throat involuntarily bobbed, clearly swallowing in anticipation.
"And then, we'll have freshly squeezed corn juice and watermelon juice, coming right up." Boss Wang said with a smile, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Lin Xiao's face: "Would you like to try?"
"Wow!"
Xun'er's eyes lit up. She hadn't been allowed to eat half of these dishes by Lin Xiao before. Each one looked tempting, whetting the appetite. For a young girl like Xun'er, she could hardly wait.
"Thank you for your hard work, Boss Wang," Lin Xiao said gratefully. He finally understood why Manager Niu liked this place and why it was so popular. The taste was definitely to the liking of people from Shashi. Just smelling it, he knew it was authentic.
Most importantly, these dishes, without a doubt, were not from any breeding farm.
Generally speaking, other guests couldn't get these dishes, and the people outside the private room probably couldn't get them either; even if they did, they would only be farm-raised products.
"This is nothing. For us in this business, the most important thing is to ensure you eat comfortably," Boss Wang quickly waved his hand.
"As expected of Old Wang! All good stuff! I haven't been here to eat for some time, I've been longing for it!" Manager Niu said, eagerly picking up his chopsticks.
However, just as he was about to start, he noticed Lin Xiao hadn't moved his chopsticks yet and stopped his hand midway.
"General Manager Lin, President Luo, please, you two try first?" Manager Niu said quickly. He wouldn't dare to start eating before Lin Xiao and Luo Qinghan did.
At his words, Luo Qinghan picked up her chopsticks.
"Let me see, now that you mention it, it has indeed been a while since I've had soft-shelled turtle," Luo Qinghan said, picking up a piece of the skirt. The times she felt most relaxed were when she ate a whole soft-shelled turtle. The skirt was good for beauty, and the turtle was full of collagen. Didn't it also have some Yin-nourishing properties?
Taking a bite, her eyes lit up. The taste was indeed excellent!
Lin Xiao had never cooked soft-shelled turtle at home, so she couldn't compare directly. But, she had to admit, this was much tastier than what she had eaten before.
Moreover, this flavor was very appetizing and went well with rice.
Lin Xiao also started eating. Boss Wang had been watching him closely. When he saw Lin Xiao was about to pick up his chopsticks, Boss Wang seemed more excited than anyone else.
He wanted to see if these dishes could win over Lin Xiao!
"Delicious... Boss Wang, have you eaten? Why don't you join us?" Lin Xiao praised, then warmly invited Boss Wang to dine with them.
"That's right, Old Wang. No one can be missing from this restaurant, but if you're not here, the restaurant can still run normally. It's perfectly fine for you to sit down and have a meal," Manager Niu echoed the invitation.
