Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 358 Transportation Strength
Xu Da led the silent Qi Zhou into Xu Ji restaurant, the receptionist at the door did not become obsequious because Xu Da was the father of their leader.

The waiter cupped his hands and called out: "Friend Xu Daoist."

Xu Da also nodded, and ordered: "Open a private room on the second floor, entertain the envoys today, and record it in the public account."

The waiter showed a embarrassed look, "Friend Xu Daoist, I'm sorry, the leader has reduced your public account amount by 20.00%, and the balance belonging to you in the public account may not be enough now."

Xu Da was dumbfounded, can he still play like this?

Girl, girl, you are really your father's good girl!Xu Da lamented in his heart.

Standing beside Xu Da, Qi Zhou finally came back to his senses and glanced at the waiter curiously.

This shop boy in the Xu family army's territory is really courageous, he dared to reject their leader's father's request.

From Qi Zhou's point of view, the waiter's behavior is very lacking in EQ. If it were his entourage, who knew that the master's house was going to entertain guests from afar, even if the balance of the public account was insufficient, he would not raise it on the spot.

Qi Zhou looked sideways at Xu Da, wondering what expression he had on his face at the moment, whether he was angry or not.

However, the expression he imagined did not appear on Xu Da's face. He was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and bit his cheek. Just when you thought he was going to have a seizure, he suddenly sighed and said to the waiter:
"At my own expense, can I pay at my own expense today?"

The waiter smiled and nodded, of course it will do.Enthusiasm led the two to the second floor.

Apart from the clinic, this restaurant is one of the only two-storey small buildings in Yuyang County.

The decoration of the restaurant is simple and elegant, the decoration is simple and simple, with generous tables and long benches, it is far from the luxurious restaurants that Qi Zhou has seen in Zhuo County.

But this boxy arrangement also reveals a unique spirit.

There was no one in the restaurant, maybe it was not time for meals, or the price of this restaurant is really not close to the people, and ordinary people can't afford it. There are only a few lobby downstairs, and the private rooms on the second floor are all empty.

Xu Da found a private room facing the street, and ordered a few other dishes from the restaurant. There were five dishes in total, all at his own expense. When he was digging out chips, he felt distressed with the naked eye.

Qi Zhou smiled without saying a word, seeing Xu Da's painful appearance, he couldn't help feeling a little bit of anticipation.

The restaurant served food very quickly, the waiter had just gone downstairs, and in a blink of an eye came upstairs with a plate of melons and fruits.

Before the food was brought to his eyes, Qi Zhou smelled a refreshing sweet smell.

Looking up, the waiter was holding a white porcelain plate in his hand. Inside the plate were bright red melons and fruits that were lined up and sliced ​​into small triangular pieces.

"What kind of fruit is this?" Qi Zhou asked in surprise.

The waiter explained, "This is our restaurant's special pre-meal fruit, which is only available during this period of time, and you can't eat it on weekdays. Guests, you are lucky today."

Qi Zhou saw it strangely, and asked: "This is the first time I've seen this red fruit. It smells pleasantly fragrant. What's its name?"

The waiter answered: "Watermelon."

"This is a wooden stick. This watermelon has been peeled and can be eaten directly. Guests are welcome to use it."

The waiter put down the watermelon, then backed off again.

Xu Da is not polite, he spent the money, winked at Qi Zhou, picked up the wooden stick and inserted two pieces in a row, it was full of ice-cold sweet juice in one gulp, and the heat disappeared immediately.

Qi Zhou couldn't help swallowing, and picked up the wooden stick to taste it.

I don’t know if I don’t eat it, but I was shocked when I ate it, this watermelon was actually iced!

"This restaurant looks ordinary, but I didn't expect to build an ice cellar." Qi Zhou said with emotion while eating: "This fruit is really good, juicy and sweet!"

After finishing speaking, he ate two more pieces in a row. The rustling and sweet taste made Qi Zhou raise his eyebrows with joy.

It's a pity that this white porcelain plate is too small to hold much watermelon, barely seven or eight slices, and the two of them ate it up in a few strokes.

Qi Zhou was a little bit unsatisfied, and asked Xu Da tentatively, "Another dish?"

Xu Da shook his head, "Don't be afraid of brother Qi's jokes, another plate of watermelon, my little brother's wallet will be flat, this thing is precious."

"Of course, if Brother Qi thinks it's not enough, you can sell another one to take home. It's not very expensive, just five hundred chips per melon."

Qi Zhou's heart was moved, the price was not expensive to him, but he didn't know how long it could be kept, he wanted to take this watermelon back and give the lord a taste.

"How long can this melon be kept?" Qi Zhou asked curiously.

Xu Da replied: "It's no problem to store freshly picked ones for ten days."

Qi Zhou was overjoyed, and when the waiter served the dishes again, he ordered two melons.

This is still because the restaurant has limited purchases, otherwise he would like to order five or eight of them so that he can go back and have a good time.

The first dish is tofu soup with shrimp and seaweed, with a little shrimp powder dotted in the green and white, served in a white porcelain cup, it looks very attractive.

Qi Zhou felt that he had to look at seafood again, and the seafood in Xu Jiajun Restaurant seemed to have some tricks in it.

The second dish was a tough dish, a lobster dish the size of a washbasin was placed in a porcelain basin, steamed using only the simplest cooking method.

The plump white meat is served with a dish of prepared dipping sauce, and a mouthful of shrimp meat is delicious, sweet and sour, with a little spicy taste. Finally, it is served with shrimp and seaweed tofu soup. Qi Zhou can't stop eating it.

When the third dish was served, Qi Zhou finally knew why Xu Da's flesh hurt when he paid for it.

This is an octopus, baked with a secret sauce. As soon as it is served, the aroma penetrates into the heart, which stimulates the appetite.

Qi Zhou had only seen portraits of this thing in ancient books, and this was the first time he had seen the real thing. Although the meat smelled delicious, he still didn't dare to put down his chopsticks.

Xu Da likes to see Qi Zhou like a turtle. He slowly picks up a small knife, cuts off the claws of the big squid, and puts them in Qi Zhou's bowl.

"This is a rare ingredient. We were lucky. We happened to meet it. We don't see it on weekdays."

Qi Zhou nodded, took a bite first, and then fell silent.

"How is it? Doesn't suit your taste?" Xu Da looked concerned.

Qi Zhou raised his head, gave him a dim look, and then turned his gaze to the remaining two dishes.

It's the usual vegetarian dishes, nothing special.

But it is precisely because of this that it brings out the unusualness of the first three seafood dishes.

"It is recorded in ancient books that this octopus lives in the shallow sea in the hot and humid area in the south. Although there is sea in the south of Yuyang, it is still in the north. No octopus survives. I don't know where this octopus was caught by the restaurant?"

"Just had a few bites. The meat is fresh. It should be made from live fish. I don't know how it was transported?"

Listening to Qi Zhou's low question as if talking to himself, Xu Da felt that there is still a big difference between people.

Those wealthy households in Yuyang City who eat sea fish think: Wow!How strange and delicious!
But what Qi Zhou thought about was the transportation strength represented behind it.
