Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 439 438. How is the visa application going?

A few people came to the hot pot restaurant. As soon as the lobby manager saw Yan Chen and Uncle Tao, he immediately walked out from behind the counter and greeted them.

"Mr. Yan, Manager Tang!"

Yan Chen nodded slightly at the other party, and then introduced to him, "This is Mr. Xiang!"

The other party was stunned, and was immediately amazed and surprised. He didn't expect that the beautiful girl in front of him was their other boss, and he followed him with awe, "Mr. Xiang, hello!"

Uncle Tao hurriedly introduced to her, "This is the lobby manager of our store. His surname is Cui, and his name is Cui Zhiyuan."

Xiang Jin nodded slightly at the other party, "Hello, Manager Cui!"

The other party nodded frequently "Ai Ai Ai Ai".

Seeing his tense, even reserved look, Xiang Jin said, "Manager Cui, you don't have to be so polite, we're just here for dinner!"

"Oh, okay, okay," the other party looked respectful again.

Uncle Tao asked, "Are there any private rooms?"

The other party frowned all of a sudden, and said apologetically, "Oh, what a coincidence, the last private room was also taken by someone just now."

Xiang Jin said, "It's okay, we'll eat in the lobby."

"Well, let's sit in the lobby. You can eat anywhere. I think the lobby is also very good. There are many people and it's lively!" Xiang Jin's grandfather also said.

Manager Cui looked at Yan Chen, and Yan Chen also nodded and said, "Okay!"

Then Uncle Tao took a quick look around, and then suggested, "Why don't we go to the place next to the window over there, where it can breathe and cool down!"

"it is good!"

Everyone nodded, and then walked towards the position over there together, and then the lobby manager followed behind.

The lobby manager is also a shrewd person. Seeing that so many people have been taking care of the old man's preferences, he hastily delivered a menu and a pen to Xiang after everyone sat down. In front of her grandfather, Jin asked him to choose whatever dish he liked. When he saw Uncle Tao take the tea cups and chopsticks in front of everyone and scald them with boiling water, he hurried to make a pot with his own hands. tea here.

Xiang Jin got up, "Then light it up first, and I'll go wash your hands."

When she came back, Yan Chen was picking up some dishes with a pen. After she sat down, she turned her head slightly to take a look, "What kind of dishes did you order?"

Yan Chen moved the menu between the two of them, and Xiang Jin saw freshly fried crispy pork, tripe, yellow throat, duck intestines, beef, mutton, pork balls, fresh fish pieces, pork belly, and small mushrooms , Pleurotus eryngii, lettuce, chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, fresh tofu, tofu skin, and basically all meat dishes are two servings. Yan Chen tilted his head and pointed to a dish and asked her, "Do you want brain flowers?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "You can have one."

Then Yan Chen ticked the box in front of that dish, and wrote an Arabic numeral "1" behind it.

"What else do you want to eat? Do you want winter melon?" He asked her again.

Xiang Jin said, "Winter melon with red oil is more spicy, and I may not be able to stand it at that time. I think I have already ordered so much. Why don't we eat it? If it is not enough, we can add it later?"

Yan Chen nodded, "Yes!" He put away the pen, and then handed the menu to the waiting lobby manager, "Okay, let's follow this first!"

"Okay," the lobby manager stretched out his hands to take it, and then quickly arranged it.

After a while, a service staff came over with a pot of hot pot base with a strong aroma, and the side dishes they ordered were served one after another.

Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "Where is the seasoning place?"

Yan Chen stood up, "I'll take you there."

"okay!"

Xiang Jin also got up, and then extended her hand to her grandfather, "Grandpa, give me your bowl, and I'll make you seasoning."

"Oh, good!" Her grandfather handed her the bowl, Xiang Jin took it and asked, "Do you want to put vinegar?"

Her grandfather waved his hand, "I'm not jealous!"

"Oh, good!" Xiang Jin immediately said to Uncle Tao, "Uncle Tao, give us your bowl too, and we'll bring it back for you?"

Uncle Tao quickly waved his hand, "No, no, you mess with you, I'll go by myself later."

Yan Chen whispered to Xiang Jin, "Let's go, Uncle Tao's taste is a bit too strong, we may not be able to adjust it for him, and he adjusts it himself to suit his taste."

"Oh, good," Xiang Jin picked up her and her grandfather's bowls and turned around to leave the seat. Seeing this, Ouyang Bo hurriedly picked up his own bowls to follow.

In the end, when Ouyang Bo saw that there were folded ear roots there, he was immediately surprised, "Do you still have this thing here?"

Xiang Jin said, "I planted it in my own field."

"Oh, so, well, can we grow some of this in our field?" He looked at Xiang Jin and Yan Chen expectantly.

Xiang Jin said, "We have only opened a few hot pot restaurants over there? And if many farmers in our over there want to eat it, they can dig it outside by themselves. We can't sell it at a price where we grow it."

Ouyang Bo thought about it for a while, then nodded, "This is true."

A few people finished the seasoning and returned to their seats, and then they saw that the lobby manager personally brought over two plates of freshly fried crispy meat and a few appetizers, put them on the table and asked if they needed any What drinks do you need?
Yan Chen said, "I don't need wine, I can have a few bottles of that frozen coconut milk," and then he turned his head to look at Jin, "Did you come here at room temperature?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes!"

"Okay," then Manager Cui quickly left the venue to prepare.

Looking at the plate of pickled cucumber strips and cold salad, Ouyang Bo whispered to Xiang Jin and the others, "We don't seem to order those kinds of dishes, do we?"

Xiang Jin said, "This is a free gift in the store, and every table has it."

Ouyang Bo glanced at the other tables in the living room, and found that it was indeed the case, many tables had such side dishes, so he whispered to Xiang Jin and Yan Chen, "You guys are so generous! !"

Xiang Jin also whispered back to him, "You don't know that, do you? The reason why the hot pot restaurant is still so hot in summer, and there are no empty seats, is that the taste of the hot pot is really good, and there is another point that is There are free and unique hors d'oeuvres, which you can't get anywhere else."

"Really?!" Ouyang Bo had a surprised expression on his face.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Of course! So if you want to do catering in the future, remember to have a unique taste, and there are secret recipes. Some recipes and unique production methods cannot be known to others."

Ouyang Bo nodded, "Understood!"

Then Xiang Jin turned to answer his question directly, "Besides, most of the ingredients in these two small side dishes are produced in our own fields, and they are not worth much money. The ingredients can successfully attract customers to come here to eat hot pot without interruption, and it is worth giving up."

Ouyang Bo secretly gave them a thumbs up, "Excellent!"

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen ignored his compliments. After Manager Cui brought a few bottles of drinks and placed them in front of them, he saw that the hot pot ingredients in the pot were boiling, so he hurried over to serve them dishes again. Sometimes a waiter would come over and tell Manager Cui that someone was paying the bill and ask him to go to the counter to collect the money.

Xiang Jin said, "Manager Cui, go and do your work, you don't need to do your work here, we can do it ourselves."

"Oh, good!" Manager Cui responded, but he still carefully poured the plate of meatballs in his hand into the pot, "Then Mr. Yan, Mr. Xiang, and everyone, you can take your time." Eat, I'm off to work."

"Well, let's go!" Several people nodded with a smile.

Ouyang Bo picked up a piece of crispy meat and started to eat it. Xiang Jin said, "It's better to cook it in a pot. This little crispy meat is only about [-]% cooked."

"Oh," Ouyang Bo originally wanted to pick up another food, but after hearing what Xiang Jin said, he immediately retracted his chopsticks, and then picked up the tripe from the next plate and put it in the pot Go wash it up.

The bottom material in the pot was tumbling again, and then everyone lifted their chopsticks and started eating.

Yan Chen put a piece of boiled mutton into Xiang Jin's bowl, "Taste it, how does it taste?"

Xiang Jin picked it up and ate it into his mouth, "Well, it's not bad, it's very fresh and tender!"

Yan Chen rinsed a few more slices and put them into her bowl, and put two more small beef balls into her bowl, Xiang Jin said, "Okay, okay, you can eat it yourself, no need Take care of me, I'll just come by myself, it doesn't make sense if I eat in my own restaurant, can I still be polite?"

Yan Chen just smiled, "Okay!"

After a while, Yan Chen scooped up a piece of brain with the small colander, so he leaned towards her again, "The brain you want to eat is ready!"

Xiang Jin asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Yan Chen said, "There's more inside!"

"Oh, all right!" Xiang Jin stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed them from his small colander.

Manager Cui was afraid that he would not take good care of them, so he ran over to check the tea in their kettle as soon as he was free, and then asked them if they had any dishes that needed to be added.

Seeing that everyone still prefers the mutton and beef, Yan Chen said, "Let's have two more plates of mutton and beef."

"Oh, yes!"

The two new waitresses standing not far away saw that their lobby manager was so respectful and courteous to the guests at that table, so they whispered in a low voice, "Oh, you said that everyone sitting at that table What kind of guests are they?

Even if there is Manager Tang, we Manager Cui don't need to be so respectful, right?Manager Tang often came to our shop before, but he has never treated him like this before. You can see that he is very respectful now, and he does everything by himself. "

The other girl shook her head, "I don't know, Manager Cui is in charge over there, and we have no chance to go there. Oh, don't tell me, that boy and that girl look alike." It's really pretty, I've worked in this store for so long, I've never seen a boy or girl as good-looking as them!"

The other girl nodded vigorously, "Well, it's really eye-catching, isn't it? Well, I think the two of them are in a relationship. Look, that boy has given that girl food several times, and he Every time I turn my head to look at the girl, there is a smile in her eyes, and she is so gentle, only people who are in love will be like that."

"Well, I think so too!" Another girl said after staring at Xiang Jin and the others for a while.

Although the voices of the two were lowered, they were not too small. As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention but the listener has intention. As for what the two of them said just now, it happened to be served by a woman at the next table. The child heard it, and then the girl stretched her neck and looked at them with her head tilted. She was stunned when she saw it.

Then I saw her stand up from her seat, and said to the people at the same table, "Eat first, I saw an acquaintance, I will go say hello to him," said Then, regardless of everyone's thoughts, she quickly walked towards Jin and the others.

"Yan Chen, I didn't expect it was really you? What a coincidence, you also come here for dinner?" The other party looked at Yan Chen with pretended surprise as soon as he walked over there, and at the same time kept looking at Jin. sideways glance.

Yan Chen ignored the other party's pretending familiarity, and didn't even look at the other party, but still caringly picked up the colander on the side of the pot and scooped up pieces of tofu for Xiang Jin.

Seeing that Yan Chen was ignoring her, the other party was a little embarrassed, but she didn't intend to leave. After she glanced at Xiang Jin, she then turned her gaze to Uncle Tao, "Uncle Tang, what's the matter with you?" Are a few relatives from your hometown?"

Uncle Tao put down the teacup in his hand, and replied with a half-smile, "They are not relatives in my hometown, and besides, I don't have any relatives in my hometown."

"Oh, so?" The look on the other side became a little embarrassing, and then a pair of probing eyes looked at Xiang Jin and the others again, "Then who are they?"

Yan Chen became a little impatient, and saw that he raised his head suddenly, and then looked at the other party with cool eyes, "Have you finished eating? Just pay the bill when you're done eating, we just ate here. "

"Oh, I'm sorry? I may have disturbed you, I'll go back to my table now," she turned around after she finished speaking, but she turned her head and said to Xiang Jin just as she took a step, " Oh, by the way, Yan Chen, how is your visa for studying abroad, mine is almost ready."

The three members of Xiang Jin's family were astonished for a while, and then they looked at Yan Chen with unison.

And just as the other party finished speaking, Uncle Tao looked at Xiang Jin with a slightly worried look.

Yan Chen's brows furrowed suddenly, his expression became more and more impatient, and there was even a trace of disgust in his eyes.

"Who said I'm going to study abroad?"

The girl also pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't it? But my uncle said that you are going to study abroad, and that we will be together when the time comes!"

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Yan Chen's mouth, "Whoever said you go with whom, it can't be me anyway! I won't study abroad!"

The other party looked at him with wide-open eyes and an expression of disbelief.

After Yan Chen finished speaking, he didn't bother to look at the other party, so he continued to eat hot pot.

When the other party saw it, he nodded his head, "Oh, yes, I see!"

Yan Chenman thought that Xiang Jin would gossip and ask her who the girl just now belonged to, but during the whole process, she didn't react at all except for the first moment when she heard the other party say that he was going to study abroad. , still eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want, and have no intention of asking him.

Not only her, but also her grandfather and her brother Ouyang Bo, I have to say that Yan Chen is still a little bit disappointed in his heart, but he will never show this kind of negative emotion, he is still facing each other. Jin takes good care of her, helping her scoop up vegetables and cooking her favorite dishes.

As for Xiang Jin, it was as if nothing had happened just now. She didn't refuse the hot dishes he brought her, but accepted them all.

An hour and a half later, after everyone had finished eating, Yan Chen invited Manager Cui to explain, "Tonight's consumption will be credited to my account, and bring me a few watermelons, and it will also be credited to my account."

"Oh, good!" Manager Cui responded immediately, and then went to do it.

Watching their group go out, the girl who came to say hello to Yan Chen also stood up quickly, and then said to the friends who were still eating, "You pay for this meal, I'll go Excuse me, I have something to do right now, so I'm leaving first," she bent down and picked up her bag on the stool, and then chased after Yan Chen and the others.

As soon as she left, the few companions who were happily eating the hot pot immediately shook their chopsticks with displeasure on their faces, and one of them said, "What, again, it was clearly agreed that this meal will be served by her." Please, but it turned out to be us again, really speechless!"

"That's right, just say so if you don't want to pay, is it necessary?" another girl said.

Then another girl sighed, "Oh, if we had known this, we shouldn't have called her! Oh, I'll make it clear here, I won't call her when we're going to have a dinner or go shopping?!"

Everyone rushed to express that they would stop shouting!

The girl went out of the hotpot restaurant, just in time to see Yan Chen and his group getting into Uncle Tao's car, followed by the girl and pulled an empty taxi that was parked nearby and said, "Master, please come along." Get over to the car in front."

"Which one?! How many cars are there in front?" the driver asked.

The girl said, "It's the army green off-road vehicle in front."

The driver took a closer look and said, "Oh, yes!" Then he clocked and started counting.
