"Wow, Old Xu really does have relatives! He even knows the waiters. This relationship is quite something!"

Lu Zhaoyang was clearly dressed as a waiter. Seeing him easily handle the table, the old men huddled together and couldn't help but laugh and tease him.

"Hey, let's get down to business. We haven't even eaten yet, but it smells really good. I've never heard of it before."

An old man asked.

"Nonsense, I think you're really senile. They just opened for business, where did you hear that from?"

Another old man retorted.

"Yes, yes, I forgot, I forgot."

The old man in front slapped his forehead and laughed at himself.

"The environment here is quite nice. We can use this as a base to get together often. When we get old, we can't always see each other at banquets. Who knows, one of us might pass away first."

An old man sighed.

"Old Zhao, can't you say a few auspicious words? Are you upset because everyone's so happy?"

"Old man Hei said, glaring at me."

"I think Lao Zhao is right. We old guys should get together more often; after all, every get-together is one less we can have!"

These elderly people, when they bicker, are no different from children.

You chime in, I chime in, and the lively chatter creates a very cheerful atmosphere.

The people eating nearby found the scene quite lively and interesting, and didn't seem bothered at all.

"Alright, the table's here, come sit down."

A waiter quickly set up the table, and Lu Zhaoyang brought over a few stools.

The old man naturally took on the role of making the arrangements.

After the old friends had all taken their seats, Uncle Hei and Lu Zhaoyang went to the side.

"What are you up to, kid? Playing the waiter?"

The old man finally seized the opportunity to ask the most profound question.

It's not strange that Lu Zhaoyang is here, but it is strange that he's working as a waiter.

Because he knew that this guy was the boss.

Grandpa Hei couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lu Zhaoyang wearing a short-sleeved shirt, a uniform printed with the store's name.

Lu Zhaoyang straightened his clothes and laughed, "Grandpa, I'm doing this part-time, temporary work, twenty yuan an hour."

I don't believe you for a second!

Old man Hei cursed inwardly.

Lu Zhaoyang was indeed doing the work of serving tea and water, and he seemed quite skilled at it.

If he hadn't known about this kid's situation, he might have actually taken it seriously.

Grandpa Hei has a bunch of old friends to deal with, and Lu Zhaoyang is even busier than ever.

The two didn't talk much.

Grandpa Hei returned to the table and sat down. None of his old friends were used to using their phones to make calls, so they were writing by hand.

"I'd like a serving of braised pork."

An old man jabbed at the table and said defiantly.

"Old Xiao, braised pork, if you have the guts, why don't you eat it at home? In front of your wife, aren't you afraid to check your blood pressure?"

"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, one piece per person, what's the big deal? It's rare for us all to get together, it would be such a waste not to satisfy our cravings!"

That makes so much sense!

Upon hearing this, the others fell silent.

Even the old black man was tempted.

"Then add one more, so you know what's good for you. Don't make things difficult for yourself when you come up here."

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Once the form was filled out, it was handed to the server in charge of that "area".

"Old Xu, didn't you say you'd eaten there and that it was really that delicious? How come there are so many people on the first day it opened?"

An old man placed a bottle of Guojiao liquor he had brought on the table, and asked curiously as he opened the bottle.

Their table is now at the very edge, and just looking at the dense, dark space outside is still quite astonishing.

Without a doubt, it was packed with people.

"It's definitely going to taste good, absolutely no problem."

Grandpa Hei was also puzzled. He wanted to ask Lu Zhaoyang, but didn't have time. He said uncertainly, "It should be the first day of opening. I don't know why there are so many people."

He wanted to ask Lu Zhaoyang if there were any shills involved, and how many.

Lu Zhaoyu had no idea what the old man was thinking.

Actually, he was quite curious too.

If he weren't confident in his understanding of Li Jianxiang, he would have had almost the same thought.

Now he's waiting to finish his work so he can ask Li Jianxiang some questions.

After a while, Lu Zhaoyang ran to the front desk, wanting to add a dish to Grandpa Hei's table.

"Spicy chicken, braised pork belly, stir-fried fish with scallions..."

He wanted to add a more substantial dish, but when he saw their menu, he was a little taken aback by the appetites of these elderly people.

"How about we have some cold cabbage heart salad?"

Helpless, Lu Zhaoyang decided to clean their mouths.

There's nothing we can do; their appetite is just too strong.

After a while, Lu Zhaoyang simply ran to the front desk and told the cashier not to charge this table, and that he would pay the bill in the end.

Lu Zhaoyang thought that in fishing, Grandpa Hei could be considered his mentor who had introduced him to the craft, and he had taken good care of him these past few days.

The old man was also very considerate when it came to renting a house.

Lu Zhaoyang felt he should treat everyone to a meal as a gesture of goodwill.

After that, Lu Zhaoyang got busy again and couldn't pay attention to the old man for a while.

"Dude, you're really working hard!"

A young waiter who worked with Lu Zhaoyang looked at him with admiration as he worked tirelessly.

This guy was running around the field with great enthusiasm.

If you didn't know better, you'd think he was the boss.

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do, I'm just destined to be a busybody."

Lu Zhaoyang chuckled.

He couldn't very well say that he was excited to see so many people and think about getting a share of the money.

Besides, he really didn't feel tired at all.

Perhaps he was too impulsive; the thought of a part-time job that paid him cash filled him with an irresistible passion.

Around 9 PM, the tables started turning over, and everyone became even busier.

Grandpa Hei and his friends were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

"Old Xu, this is a great gathering. We old guys should get together like this from time to time."

"That's exactly what I meant. With so much retirement money, if we don't spend it now, what are we going to do with it until we're dead?"

The old man, who was forced to treat everyone, didn't say anything, but he secretly agreed.

This meal was indeed very pleasant and harmonious.

The food was delicious, but the key thing was that the group of old friends got together and talked about many things from the past.

It's wonderful.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, we called over the waiter to settle the bill.

Soon, a young girl who was in charge of collecting payments ran over and her eyes fell on the old man in black.

Lu Zhaoyang specifically mentioned the old man who was as black as charcoal.

Even without specifying which table it is, you can easily recognize it.

"Sir, Mr. Lu instructed that you don't need to pay for this table," the cashier said politely with a smile.

"That won't do! Old Xu is treating, it's no fun eating if we don't pay!"

An old man immediately joked.

Grandpa Hei was somewhat surprised and glanced at Lu Zhaoyang, who was several tables away, engrossed in tidying up the tables.

He didn't expect that the kid would specifically give such instructions.

Throughout the meal, he would glance at Lu Zhaoyang every now and then.

This was the busiest young man in the room, working diligently with his head down.

How could these diners possibly know that this person is the owner of the restaurant?

However, how could he possibly take advantage of such a bargain?

Without saying a word, the old man took out three hundred yuan and threw it on the table, then called his friends and left.

He had already secretly calculated that three hundred yuan would be enough.
