Seeing that there was a custorance that Floats Ten Miles’ enthusiastically greeted her After seeing Mi Qing clearly, the waiter's eyes brightened up He put on his brightest s, ”Beautiful lady, how many seats do you need? Do you have a reservation?”
Mi Qing studied hi should be the store's unifor that people in Han Dynasty wore, but for the sake of convenience, it was short-sleeved
She smiled, and said to the waiter, ”I did not make a reservation, and it will just be me alone”
The store was not crowded at that ti inside, ”There's a seat available there”
Mi Qing followed hi The store was renovated to the ancient Chinese style Even the tableere full of ancient flowery carvings The waiters in the store all wore the same uniform, which looked very clean and neat
Passing by a stairs, she looked up, and asked curiously, ”Are there any seats upstairs?”
The waiter: ”There are only private rooms upstairs, it is also our office area Would you like to have a private room?”
Mi Qing thought it over, ”Will there be extra charges?”
The waiter nodded, ”Yes”
”Oh, then, nevered, and continued to follow the waiter
Reaching her table, she noticed that the tables and chairs were very clean It did not have the greasy feeling that normal restaurants had As she sat down, she heard a wo in her direction, ”Xiao De Zi, come and lead the customer in Is it that you can't walk anymore when you see a beauty?”
Mi Qing lifted her head, and sao towards her direction
Her uniform was different froher position than those waiters
When the waiter that lead Mi Qing in saw her, he quickly laughed, ”Sister Rongrong, let's not speak carelessly If the boss hears that, he ant to cut ain!”
The wo waved his hand at hiain, ”Go and serve other customers, I'll handle it here”
”Alright, alright”
Xiao De Zi quickly ran to the door to lead the custo, and smiled, ”Beautiful lady, is this your first time here in our store to eat chuan chuan? I have never seen you here before ah”
Mi Qing: ”En, I just moved here yesterday”
Sister Rongrong nodded her head, and did not press further, ”Our flavour here is really good Do come by frequently to eat when you're available ah” As she spoke, she poured tea on Mi Qing's cup, ”Are you alone? What flavoured pot will you like?”
”Red pot” Mi Qing thought over, and added, ”The spiciest type”
Sister Rongrong sht, that area is where you can choose your er stick cost one fifty, and the shorter one cost thirty cent”
”Oh, alright” Mi Qing nodded and Sister Rongrong went to instruct the waiters Mi Qing looked at her and thought, this Sister Rongrong really do kno to make business Not just that, but she doesn't look too bad either, don't tell me she's the lady boss?
Mi Qing took three plates of potatoes from the food selection area Just as she went back to her seat, the waiter also brought her pot out to her table
”Once it starts to boil, you can put the ingredients in The spices area is over there, take it as you please” The waiter opened the fire below the pot as he introduce the
”Alright, thank you” Mi Qing took a look at the spice area She went to choose her spices then her ht back the basket of food, her pot base was ready
It was simply perfect
She took off her coat, hang it over her chair and begin putting her etables into the pot Before her first pot was cooked, she sees a fa in from the entrance
It was her landlord, Xiao Gu
……she instantly felt that her appetite was gone, and that she could most probably save up to half of the money
