Chapter 235 (1/2)
The private restaurant is opened by a middle-aged couple. It has been around the shallow water bay of a city for more than 20 years. Zhou Manchun remembers that when he was a child, Zhou Tinghao liked to bring her and Zhao Lizi here for dinner every holiday.
It's the peak time of eating. There are many customers in the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant is busy. The owner and a young man are cooking in the kitchen. The owner's mother and her daughter are outside to greet the guests.
The landlady has a good memory and has the ability of never forgetting. Seeing Zhou Manchun, she squinted and smiled.
”Miss Zhou, you haven't been here for a long time.” The landlady said with a gentle smile, still holding a order book in her hand, wrinkles on her face, sending out a lingering charm after years of precipitation.
”Yes, bring your friends to dinner today.” Zhou Manchun was surprised and smiled politely. Unexpectedly, the owner of the restaurant knew her. She had been here for dinner for five years.
Customers remember that a restaurant is very normal. As long as it tastes good, people will often go there. But people come and go in the restaurant. It's not easy to remember a customer.
”OK, Miss Zhou, how are your parents?” The owner's wife took Zhou Manchun and Jiang Jingqi to the box in the restaurant, laughing and chatting with Zhou Manchun.
”Very good.” Zhou Manchun's beautiful face showed a smile, which was moving.
”I haven't seen you for a long time. I remember that ten years ago, almost every week your family would come here for dinner.” The landlady opened the door of the box and lit the light.
In front of us is a bright scene. The furnishings in the box have been completely new, not old-fashioned many years ago.
”Yes, dad likes to eat fried screws and chicken. I'll pack one for him and bring it back for supper before I leave.”
”Miss Zhou is so filial. In a blink of an eye, you are so big. It's really nice.” The landlady said happily, as if she had met an old friend who had been reunited for a long time.
”You're welcome, Madame. Next time I'll bring my parents here for dinner.”
”OK What would you like to eat today? ” The landlady picked up the pen and ordered the meal book, smiling clearly.
”Chopped chicken, clam with scallion oil, salted duck, fish ball...” Zhou Manchun reported many dishes at once. There are so many restaurants in city a, which are neither the most expensive nor the best. But the flavor here is the most authentic, which makes her keep in mind. Maybe it's because this private restaurant has more feelings of one family than the restaurant outside.
”Good.” The landlady took up the pen and wrote on the paper, then with a big stroke, it stopped abruptly.
Before leaving, the landlady closed the box door gently.
Only Zhou Manchun and Jiang Jingqi are left in the elegant decorated box.
